Gordon That might be the ticket then, a quick replay skipping the side-quests. 👍

Alex I’m quite close to getting the platinum trophy but I think that needs most if not all of the bosses, so no doubt I’ll be back here to complain about them soon 🙂

Gammerz

Alex But you’re almost there! Just give it a rest, psyche yourself up, be determined to beat it then complete the game. Maybe you’ll find the final boss is easier. Have you tried it yet? I had the same problems with DS1, but cracked it in the end because I’d invested so much time in it - I wasn’t going to let it beat me.

I restarted the opening yesterday, seems OK but I already get a sense of some of the things that really wound me up the last time I played it. It was a game that constantly veered from 10 out of 10 to 1 out of 10 for me.

The 60fps mode is the way to go but mainly because 30fps feels really off, like there’s something wrong with the frame pacing. The input feels sluggish as well. I just played through Spider-Man: MM in 30fps mode and it was absolutely fine, so definitely something weird going on.

Gordon

Alex Yeah, there’s definitely something up with the 30fps mode. It feels awful.

Alex

I decided to restart on PC with GamePass and wow, the RTX 3070 is an absolute beast. Playing on ultra settings with full ray tracing and getting about 80fps.

Alex

Finished this last night. It is much better if you skip all the side content, which is a shame as some of it looks very tantalising. Without that you do only meet one or two bosses in the whole thing. It could just be because I’m crap at games but found it much easier with the keyboard and mouse. I switched back to the controller for a bit to check and the aiming is much less precise. I’m normally quite good with a controller too. Overall I enjoyed the story and characters, but still think it’s a very flawed game all round.

Gammerz

It’s free on Epic atm.

Alex

Control 2 in development.

Control is getting a PS5 patch 😃

The patch is out. Quality mode with unlocked framerate has ray-traced reflections and seems to run really well, it looks great.

GRAPHICS [PLAYSTATION 5]
• Added a new setting “Unlock Frame Rate”, enjoy!
• Added VRR and 120Hz display output support for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro, and unlocked the frame rate limitations for Quality and Performance Mode setting
• Improved Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA) quality
• Added HDR support
• Updated SDR to 10bit (from 8bit), which reduces visible color banding
• [PlayStation 5 Pro] Added PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) support. Using PSSR results in smoother edges, improved hair, and vegetation visual quality. Using PSSR can slightly impact performance, so if you would rather have the original “look” of Control, you can disable PSSR in the settings.
• [PlayStation 5 Pro] Improved Screen Space Reflections in Performance Mode
• [PlayStation 5 Pro] Updated Texture and Shadow resolution filtering (anisotropic)
