Can you play this single player?

Is it 60fps on ps5?

Yes you can.

I don't know, but the previews looked 30fps.

Yeah, every preview seems to have 60 & 30fps footage but nobody bothers to talk about it.

Looking at the PC specs, the PS5 pretty much hits the recommended settings, which the chart says target 1080p@60.

Hmm, maybe this will be the first time I go Steam in a long while. this game looks right up my alley.

Finally spent some time with this game tonight and I absolutely love it. The difficulty seems insane though, it’s 50/50 if I can extract from an easy mission. All it takes is one or two swipes from a big bug and I’m dead.

Am I missing some defensive mechanic, or is diving to the ground your only recourse?

There is a melee attack, but, lol
Better to dive, stim, and then get up and sprint away

Thanks, sounds like I just gotta get good. Although I wonder if the difficulty is due to me soloing…

sounds like most people are in groups but I can’t figure out how to play online at all lol. Looking for sos’s and throwing one does nothing, on both pc and ps. Also odd I’ve had zero crashes on pc but 3 or so on ps already lol

Bought it twice cause I thought there was cross progression but nope. Oh well, the game feels so much better on a dual sense anyway.

I disabled crossplay and multi began working immediately. I then immediately die to friendly fire and the drop ship kills me. Love this poo poo.

Q: how do you revive teammates? Someone else does it before I can ever figure it out.

Between stamina rapidly falling, randomly getting hit in a limb that, despite being at 60% health, means I can’t move, tiny gun magazines and long rear end reloads it feels like this game hasn’t been tuned at all for offline play. Really bums me out.

flipping on my computer toucher brain for a moment here, I question to what degree it is helpful or unhelpful to dedicate balancing attention to what is essentially an unsupported use of the product

The first day of playing I couldn’t even play multiplayer because the game was so bugged “cross play” broke it. Cool they went out of their way to ‘balance’ offline mode to literally waste the players time!

Anyway, not sure how it can be ‘unsupported’, it’s literally baked into the game.

Anyway. Sorry to be so negative on what is probably not an issue for most.

The moment to moment combat really feels like the starship troopers movie and feels really good.

It seems to work super for me, but maybe it doesn't if you're too close? At mid range it seems to work great. The instinct is to keep firing but if you know you won't kill it in time better to dive or sprint

they nail me every time, even midair. It might work if you dive at the very second they shoot, not sure…

I watched one of those basic ‘10 things newbies should know’ YouTube videos and I felt like an idiot afterwards. Do not empty your mag, leaving a sliver of ammo (ideally 1 bullet) means reloading is so much faster.

I'm sorry, but every bullet thrown away is a bullet that isn't in the enemy's heart.

If you do it perfectly you replace the magazine and the final round stays chambered.

I was barely able to exfil a medium mission by myself while multi was being goofy. Every encounter is a chance to probably die. But unlike Dark souls style games, this seems to rely more on memorizing dpad inputs than parrying or dodging.

It’s obviously not trying to be DS, but I wish it tried to meet it half way.

The jetpack is excellent as a "oh poo poo I need to get out" option and it opens up the ability to jump on top of large buildings/rocks and make the bugs have a much harder time getting to you

Just unlocked it but had to stop for the night. Excited to use it :3:

Just went two rounds with a great crew with no voice but heavy in-game comms and it was great. Definitely my preference with randos.

That Civvie escort mission that's on every single Automaton operation is just straight up impossible unless you have a full premade set up specifically for it, and even then it's ridiculously difficult. Bots drop in literally faster than you can kill them and there's no way I'm doing 7 more of these in the current state, lol.

It’s really difficult on medium lol. I like killing bugs more.

oh it's more than that, if you have a dualsense on PC, the haptics on the trigger change tension as the gun runs low on ammo and the trigger goes slack if it's empty

And they’re completely different when holding a grenade. Great implementation all around.

You can pick up any gun. The premium pass isn't necessarily paid either, you can pick up super credits and save them to buy it.

The JAR-5 Dominator from page 3 of the premium pass is loving awesome btw.

Between the Autocannon and Dominator I finally feel confident against bots.

Man these scientist extraction missions are so easy with competent players and nearly impossible with newbies. If you’re under level 6ish it seems wise to stick with bug planets since you likely haven’t unlocked the bot centric shooty guns.

They're easier now and are fairly manageable if you are able to clear missions at that difficulty (and understand that Mortar Sentries are OP in that scenario).

The issue was that previously even at Challenging they were dropping hilarious numbers of Hulks of both varieties alongside hordes of Devastators (especially the rocket ones). 1-2 Hulks takes some coordination to manage as a team, now multiply that by 4-5x coming from all different directions with lots of Rocket Devastators that can easily one-shot you and your Sentry emplacements on top of a withering hail of firepower that the regular grunts are churning your way that are really good at throwing off your aim if they so much as graze you. And even when you took out those Hulks, the game did not let up. The rate at which they were dropping new units was completely unmanageable, and you could not find a safe spot to settle down for more than a few seconds because there would always be another group directly behind you.

Now that I think about it every time the group dominated someone had a mortar sentry. I should unlock that!

Yeah the rocket devastators are real bastards. I’ve been trying to master maps on medium before moving to higher difficulty but keep forgetting to up the difficulty. Time to try hard.

On PS5 is there a way to log out without force closing the game from the main PS5 menu? Yesterday I just put my console to sleep after the tutorial before going to work and I think that just left me logged in all day taking up space on the servers.

In the first week of launch I had luck going into settings and switching matchmaking from public to private to public, but now it seems the only way to force a reconnection is to force quit/restart.
