I am ps5 player and initially when I bought this game I had instant regret. However, I gave it a shot and a month later of playing it, I absolutely love this game. I know the game is much more superior on PC but once you get used to ps5 it is a truly amazing game despite occasional stutter and few minor bugs. Absolutely love this game
Glad you're enjoying the game. It's a great game. Arguably one of the best FPS games ever made. It has a ton of issues though that have been here for years, and their well documented. I'm hoping console gets some major attention, as on PC we can mitigate a fair amount of the issues, except game related stuff. You console players should be getting 120fps, and better controller adjustments, and rubberbanding fixes and it will be a wildly different experience.
I think you have to look at it from a console player's perspective, it's the closest thing we have to a great hardcore shooter / milsim. I used to be on PC but switched to console, and there's very clearly differences and more issues on console, but it's the only game that even gets close to the same experience on console
The reason companies can put out buggy games is because at some point players got ok with it. Players are ok with the empty promise of fixing it at a later date. This has to stop at some point, and HLL on console is a perfect example of what console gamers should not be ok with, regardless of it being the only game in the genre. If you had been playing HLL on PC for a long time, you might remember the PC community's complaints of it coming to console, because we knew how bad it would be and we knew the issues of performance would lead to the dumbing down the graphics for PC too. There isn't a game that fits this niche on PC either. Post Scriptum is dead, Squad is actually a hardcore/milsim, and enlisted is just terrible. What I look at from a console players point of view is while owning the newest console that supports 120fps at 4k, then fps games should support 120fps at 4k. HLL can't even maintain 60fps on console at 1080p. Squad will come to console at some point, and battlebit will too. I think HLL needs a ton of work and it shouldn't have come out on console until it was stable, and not undergoing core gameplay changes. It was a money grab with a future promise that has not been met.
HLL is the first game I learned M&K on, 1500hrs in and haven't looked back. This explains why I struggled so much trying to play on a controller. This is video is fascinating and well presented. Good job buddy. Nice work! I like this.
Thanks bud! I debated for a long time to just get used to M&KB, but I know there's something special you guys like about it. Not sure if its the flow, or everything at your finger tips, but maybe someday I will have to make the switch.
I got Hell Let Loose on PSN when it was free. I'm playing and the type of game is very good, but I'm having a lot of difficulty with the aiming issue on the controller. Some games are really cool, others I can't shoot at an enemy that's 2 meters in front of me. I tolerate it because I got it for free. But I'm thinking about buying it on Steam now, after watching your video! Thank you very much and keep up the work!
If you are gonna play HLL long term, but it on Steam. I've always held this position, and my controller guide will help you out tremendously. I use a custom config in Steam that is so dialed in, that I am able to hit anyone from any range. Just need to overclock your controller that's plugged into your PC. You want a 1000 polling rate. Default on all controllers is 250. Xbox cannot overclock well. PS4 controller is best, PS5 best when wireless. You will also need a chat pad attached to the controller. Their like 10 dollars. Which controls the VoIP, for quick access.
Have you gotten a chance to play this on PC? There's a stark contrast in the way the game feels in responsiveness.There's moments on PC where you run into a random texture, and the FPS drops to 25-40, and the game becomes very sluggish. That's how console felt. Its a great game. It really is.But I hope they get it ironed out. and maintain 60fps, when the game should run at 120fps.
have it on pc for long time never got into it much just got it on xbox a few days ago and its been awesome for me, proximity chat has been realistic and useful information with tied in funny moments especially in the trucks at a game start. i think its worth giving it a shot 7months later.
Wow, thanks for your concise input on this game, exactly the info I was looking for! I want tactical shooters like this game but I am torn between playing on PC and console. My biggest fear is hackers. Obviously on console you don't have to worry about script kitties like you do PC. Also, I primarily want to play with a controller but was worried I would be at an accuracy disadvantage against mouse players. You just gave me the answer to play on PC, but do you run into many cheaters, is it a big issue in this game? I can't believe that the controls are so limited on ps5 versus PC seems like a crappy PC port.
Cheaters are in every good fps game. But in HLL the low TTK gives you a fighting chance. There are hackers on console. Using chronus or other devices. There are devices for console that allow KB&M too. Just to be clear, in-game, the console and PC controller settings are the exact same, minus aim assist on PC. I use Steam's controller configurator, because HLL has the most basic of control settings, and instead of the devs dialing in a base config that's well thought out, they use the basic UE4 configurator. This prevents an in-game config that's snappy and close range and has fine control at 400m. They try to combat this with "acceleration". Which is not great for muscle memory. I did a video long ago, about my config, and how to set it up. I have uploaded current day configs to the community in Steam, as things change over time. My config is very refined, but only setup for PS4 controllers. I do have one for PS5 controllers as well, but not Xbox. The sticks are all different, so some adjustments to the right stick will be needed if using Xbox. But I think you'd figure it out. Playing HLL on PC is about gaming with an older audience, and playing with a much higher performance margin. Also, being able to pick a server. You will have a 10x better experience on PC, guaranteed. I wouldn't say that for any other game except HLL.
They just nerfed a bug on console that was no issue on PC. And now we have to stare at a node while taking it down. We used to be able to look at the map or scoreboard, and now it stops progress if you do. They said it was by design, which is a fat load of BS.
I play on PS5 and love the game, but crossplay against PC players is a struggle at times due to the controller issues. Thankfully it was free to download from the PS store though :)
Thankfully crossplay only includes PS5 and Xbox. There is no aim assist on PC, and I agree the controller settings for console is trash. I use a custom control config in steam's Big picture mode. Unfortunately without the devs understanding what a controller should feel like in HLL, they just use the default config that Unreal Engine 4.27 uses. I tried to reach out to Team17 when U8 launched about the controller config, and they said they weren't able to change anything as it was black matters game then, maybe I should reach out to them again.
@@hercules6166 the recreation of that bug seems to react differently on PC. The devs seem to think it stems from a longer period of being idle, then the bug happens. Same situation with the load out bug. But not sure if the load out bug is a thing on console. The grenade and load out bug have been on PC for over 2 years now. Hopefully we have some sort of resolution in the near future.
I’ve had a pretty good experience on hll on my ps5, I’ve got the edge controller so switch between two settings one for medium long and one for close, lag happens sometimes for me but not a lot, may switch it from 4k to 1440p and performance mode on the ps5 console as well
That's a nice feature. I didn't notice any fps change from 1080 to 1440 to 4k. The input lag is terrible though, the lag in the game is getting better with the latest update, but still far from being fixed.
@@TwinCityShredder yea I’ve tried them all no fps drop, so will stick to 4k Changed to Performance mode in the ps5 menu not sure weather it seemed smoother or not really but left it on that
@@colk41 performance mode helped back when I made this video, and is a requirement to have on to play games at 4K 120hz. HLL is capped at 60hz. So my testing involved keeping the 1% lows, from dropping below 60hz. What happened was the game had FPS dips into the 40' with any resolution. It may be better now though.
@@TwinCityShredder yes the dead zones once you get the sweet spot and practice , it becomes to easy even on a controller , its like owt bit of practice becomes a dodle
@@ashwhooooo I'm a firm believer that you can get used to any config. Just takes time. But I also know how much of a benefit a curve on the right stick would be for console. It would change the game dramatically.
I assume you're on PC? As HLL is capped at 60fps on console. Many people like the LG C2 for gaming. I tried to go to a 32 inch 4K monitor, but had to go back to 27 inch 1440p.
@@bsavage5128 Nice. Which TV did you get? I wish console let you use kb&m too. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to. Xbox does work with some devices, but if a console is designed to be an all in one media center, then you should be allowed to use the peripheral of your choice. They sell chat pads that connect to the controller so why not a regular USB keyboard.
Hll needs to be kbm compatible on console. I'm on series s and it's not. Pc port on controller makes no sense. Especially aiming at pixels 300m away with iron sights. No matter the ads sense or general sense. Its too tedious on controller
I agree. Console is using PC components, but limited by Corporations and money. Although for HLL on console, they need to work out the graphics and LOD's. Cause on PC, you can see people at 500m. If the game had my controller config, you would be wrecking people, and if the performance wasn't so bad, and ran at 120fps, you'd be as happy as a pig in shit. The game even being on console is a touchy topic. Many people said the PC version would suffer because of low graphic implementations being forced into the PC version for performance gain, and since then objects at distance have looked like PS2 graphics.
@@TwinCityShredder it's the console casuals. I was playing last night and someone randomly asked our squad if we are playing with kbm or controller I said kbm isn't supported with HLL. He said good cuz it would be unfair. I said such as aim assist? He didn't even know HLL had aim assist on console. It just shows you the console crowds knows little and they don't seem to care or notice
I would have liked to make a great review, but even after U14 it's just gotten worse. Not hating on anybody who's enjoying the game now but from what it was to what it is now is a vast contrast.
Yeah start taking notes. 9:36 .. heres a good example of you shooting a panther in the side with a bazooka. Twice.😢 And shall i mention the lack of aim throughout the whole video while you cry that "its hard"
@@SixEyeSassquatch the issue you reference with the shot to the side, is an issues presented by an update from the devs, fully documented and showcased by many. This is nothing new, you are just very unaware of the issues with the game, and think that it's normal.
