It doesn't wow when it runs like crap it feels god awful. Anything below 60 is hell for m+kb stuttery and jerky movement, but I want/expect to get 120+ these days.
It's really shockingly bad.
Indeed. I'm playing AC6 right now and while the graphics aren't the most modern, the way everything is designed and runs is just so pretty. So many of these AAA publishers want to push ray tracing and a billion other features for "greater fidelity", but don't put in enough work to actually optimize the experience.
Artistic vision is better than effects 100% of the time. Adding raytracing to a game doesn't make up for a lack of artistic vision. Some reflections that I've seen in 500 other games without artistic vision don't compare at all to something like the whimsy of the Coral and the confusing organic nature that they never over explain in Fromsoft fashion, give people enough to trigger their imaginations, use music well, then let them run with their own thoughts about it. You create an experience from this, it creates emotions players are often unable to get any other way, whereas you don't with showing off how your belt buckles accurately reflect the room, literally nobody cares about that.
Ac6 goes hard. It feels like controlling a giant death robot, and that's all it needs to do.
