I don't think "input lag" is the proper term used. It gives the impression that the game was having difficulty responding in time. But I think it just adds to the realism, personally for me. But I can't say I like it this way with 100% honesty. The controls aren't perfect, but I still think it's a great game

can a Patch fix it?

"It’s worth keeping in mind that not all high input lag can necessarily result in a worse experience."

sorry what ??

Honestly, I feel the lengthy animations add to the problem. The game actually feels like a 5 year old game in terms of lengthy animation and input lag which kinda makes sense as it started back then and input is the first thing you try to address.

Coming from playing Spiderman, the game just feels like all my interactions are sluggish. I love the game but it definitely could use a patch to either quicken the animation and/or reduce the input lag a little.

Well R* haven't release no patch yet so who knows when theses problems will be address

Sounds like reviewers really gave this game a pass because it's R*.

In what realm (beyond, say, turn based) is high input lag acceptable?

Nope feels the same as every other rocks tar game, they just need to sort out there crappy game engine

it's the same as it was in GTA and in RDR1, go to your settings and turn off deadzone, Then mess with sensitivity to your liking

Surprised I haven't seen such an article about GoW.

that's not by design?

Playing on a One X myself, but is the fog supposed to be in this game? I swear for hours on end it looks like I'm playing a California wild fire... Is that a product of the broken HDR?

This guy must have been sleepy when he made this news, its 11 frames of input lag and not 11 ms.
This game runs at 30fr per second, so one frame is 33ms, 11 frames of input lag are 11x33 = 363ms of input lag, that's way worse then the Tomb Raider got at launch (200ms).

Just see the video after 1m50s, it's there stating 11 frames of delay not 11 ms.

Learn to play games ffs. This game is a masterpiece in every way. You just shit at games! Damn I should make a walk through on youtube and you'll see how easy it looks. Get Good!!

Input lag doesn't matter to casuals.

This is a game where quick actions often aren't input when the player executes them. If you're too fast, and not at a complete trot or halt, your horse won't get fed. Even if you are, gun switching, tonic taking, and other inputs sometimes fail completely. It's very frustrating that players with good reflexes can't be snappy with the interface because either the interface won't allow it, or because of dumb rules like being at a dead stop.

I have to admit, yeah it feels a tad too slow... But it isn't that bad.

What a mediocre game.
This level of incompetence in 2018.

It's also just general animations they've chosen to be slow and long. I Don't think it'd be a big deal to patch in him walking faster, not have a to take 8 seconds to hitch horse, loot and pick up bodies and carcasses faster, ect. Doesn't need much, just a touch.

Good article.

How many times do I HAVE TO HIT THE F#%*@G BUTTON!!!!

The game is shit to begin with. Clunky controls, no player agency in story missions, broken bounty system, bad chapter 5 and onwards main content, animations that take forever, dead static world, etc

Not sure what the fanboys are up in arms about. The controls are only part of what makes this game utter shite and a waste of 8 years of development and countless crunch hours.

Odyssey is a way better game and it only took a year or so to make so R* truly fucking sucks

Its a miracle that they have enough shills to buy their outdated crap so they can continue enslaving their people for years to focus on skinning animations and lighting instead of bringing the game back from 2008 where all of their games are stuck (with the exception of MP3 which ironically sold like shit)

It feels so sluggish cause its running in the 20's

Graphics? mine are fine
controls, no idea what people are talking about.
fix the look of the game? how about we fix the 4 characters I've never seen since first camp, fix the game breaking bugs first that's what I'm waiting for.

It doesn't play sluggish... Only in the camps where you have to walk slowly... Otherwise, 10 hours in and you're playing with the same agility of RDR1.

Mass Effect 2 is still perfection to me. If anything makes me feel the same as ME2 did again in my lifetime, I'll be pleasantly shocked.

Clearly a lot of the voters didn't play or don't remember Half Life 2. It will always be my number 1 game of all time never mind sequel.

Diablo II. Wasn't even in the bracket?

Prequel. Indeed a fantastic game. Characters, story, visuals are something else. Unfortunately the controls, gunplay, and the excessive attention to detail got in the way of making it perfect. I still consider it a masterclass in storytelling though.

Biggest jump for a sequel was from Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 2. Redefined what had been done on a cinematic, narrative, graphical, technical and gameplay level. It was improved on from the original in mindblowing ways.....even during the SAME generation.

While I fully appreciate the game is a stellar achievement, I didn't enjoy my time with it, due to the game on PS4 looking like it had been smeared in vaseline and the game mechanics were an absolute pain in the backside to get to grips with.

Trying to do a simple task that requires you to open not one but two weapons wheels when you are in a heated skirmish and wanting to use health was a fun sapping experience. Even the act of opening a drawer was a chore, sometimes less is more.
