Holy poo poo this game is amazing and pretty much everything I wanted.

Also quite impressed that the game defaulted to ultra/high settings with rtx on at 1080p. Specs are Ryzen 7 3700X, 16gb RAM, Geforce 2070 RTX Super. Seems to hold up at a pretty solid 40-60fps average which is fine with me.

It also chose Ultra for my 1070 and ivy bridge CPU so...

There could be some confusion between "prologue" meaning the path-specific prologue which is like 30 mins - 1 hour long and the full prologue which takes at least 5-6 hours before you reach the game's title card.

Ahh so I guess it's not the montage sequence after meeting Jackie

What difficulty are y'all playing this on? I started on hard because of course, but combat is pretty frustrating, the enemies are spongy and are constantly setting me on fire when I can't even see them. Dying constantly (the 25 fps don't help of course)

This game feels to me like a modern take on the Fallout 3 formula in a different universe, some new systems and a better combat. Not The Witcher 3 and not Deus Ex.

That's how I described it to my friend. Never played the Witcher and Fallout is about the most RPG i can take so this is working pretty well for me so far

After updating the drivers and overclocking my 1070 to the limit, I'm getting about 30fps at 1440p on High. I have to drop down to low or 1080p to get a solid 40. I haven't really done a proper A/B comparison but it seems there's very little difference between Ultra, High and even Medium (in terms of visuals or performance), while Low looks like rear end so I avoid it.

I think someone posted they're getting 40-50fps on a 1070 so I'm curious how that's possible outside of running it at complete potato quality. That was before the patch was out even, though I'm curious if it would help at all.

The way other characters interact with you and the environment when you're talking and getting missions, as well as on missions is so good. I think that for me adds the most immersion to this game over other open world games of its ilk like Fallout and Outer Worlds where the whole interaction you're fixed, staring at their face while they awkwardly talk back while hardly moving.

Also the driving in this game absolutely rules, feels like the cars have actual weight and physics to them. The only reason why driving is annoying is because of the dumb mini map. Saying that I've been using a controller for driving, lol at anyone using mouse and keyboard for that.

Yeah agreed on the first point, it's really nicely done.

I don't think you'll be able to convince me that driving doesn't suck. Maybe it's supposed to represent 80s car handling? But even those weren't that bad.

I had no expectations going into this so I'm pretty happy. That said some stuff that sucks:

Biggest immersion break when after the epilogue, one of the objectives is to eat something. You go out and downstairs, there's like a dozen of fast food stalls and you can't buy anything. Even at the place you had lunch with Jackie in a scripted sequence.
Zombie NPCs were already mentioned. It's really weak considering what we've seen not only in GTA5, but also in Saints Row like 12 years ago. I'm running around naked and nobody reacts here, but in SR2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=101kMM45ALc
Enemy AI is pretty poo poo. I played the hotel in stealth mode and most enemies just stand there. Just perfectly still in the middle of a corridor. If there's a firefight, they're pretty bad at mounting a coordinated attack. I don't know to what degree FEAR was scripted, but it felt like they behaved very reasonably in a dynamic environment.
After the epilogue you get bombarded with phone calls and messages, and I now have like 25 side jobs. Really weird they decided to drop it like that instead of gradually introducing more stuff.

But the story and especially the graphics/atmosphere are spot on so it's pretty enjoyable despite of that stuff.

I think I just managed to dump a still conscious henchman into a container somehow so I can't save because it's still in combat mode. He shows up on the radar and shouts something from time to time.

Im getting the same thing pretty much. I say in a crowded area changing all of the settings, and there was no fps difference between everything on ultra, and everything on low.

Hardware monitors say I'm only using 50-60 percent in both GPU and CPU. It's damned weird.

For me on a GTX 1070, there's very little difference between Ultra and Medium but Low speeds things up significantly.

Maybe it's a CPU bottleneck? Have you tried that hex fix? Although that's kind of strange anyway because I can push over 60 fps on a 3470 if I drop the resolution enough.

Reminds me of old school physics bugs where you'd get randomly launched to the other side of the map or fall through the level. Haven't been seeing these recently any more.

Yeah, I really wish there was some dedicated "crawl through window/vault over cover" button.

In that same area, in the gas station, there is a locked door that either requires body to open or authorization. Anyone found out where you can get the authorization? I assume it's just some junk loot but closed off areas like that annoy me.

The normal jump + crouch is ok for me but it's not really clear how much of the window you have to clear out since it doesn't fall apart immediately, so I just tried it as soon as there were a few holes and then this happened, several times lol.

Thanks for posting the DF video. I knew there had to be something that made the performance difference between low and medium so significant and it seems that their suggestions increase the fps by quite a bit.

They also have a pretty good overview of RT features. The game looks amazing with the pre-baked stuff but it's incredible how much more natural RT looks, especially if you can pull of Psycho...

There should be an “upgrades” tab under crafting. If you have the materials (and high enough level?), weapons will show up as upgradable.

You can also have homosexual relations with several characters in the game. And I came across a trans woman talking about how she has to work just as hard as everyone and (presumably) a CIS being dismissive to her. Overall the world is of course disgusting, but I think showing that dystopia is kind of the point.

quote:

I can see how you'd mistake it for GTA based on the marketing, but once you see how the game portrays interactions with the police and how the story works, why would it make sense for them to have spent time adding fun game mechanics around things the game is trying to penalise you for and discourage you from doing? Just because you can mistake this game for GTA at first glance doesn't mean you should jump in with both feet and say the ways in which they are different are flaws.

Of course it wouldn't make sense to clone GTA here, I think the issue is that they just ended up with a clumsy half-baked result. Just say you can't drive cars because only rich people can afford them, like in Singapore or something. So you use fast travel or ride passenger, bam, problem solved.

Sing Along posted:

I have now completely broken the game's crafting system over my knee. Once you can craft legendary items it becomes absurdly easy. If you have the recipe for the Panacea mod, a legendary clothing mod that provides immunity to poison and shock, the math works as follows:

Cost:

3 Rare Item Components
1 Legendary Item Component

Disassembly Value:

4 Common Item Components
3 Uncommon Item Components
3 Rare Item Componentst
3 Rare Upgrade Components
1 Epic Item Component
1 Epic Upgrade Component
1 Legendary Item Component
3 (!) Legendary Upgrade Components

Now, it's already pretty clear that you can just assemble and disassemble these until you have tons of everything but the legendary item component, right? It's still such that if you put one legendary item component in you get one out. Not so fast.

20% of the time you craft one, you get a free one. This scales rapidly.

Lol. I'm so loving bad at crafting. I basically only upgraded a few guns and I'm now worried I'll finish the game before I actually get/make any decent guns. I'm doing a few side missions now so I guess that's the chance to grind some points crafting skills there.

Note that FEAR was at heart a corridor shooter, so every encounter had a lot less parameters that could vary than an open world game with multiple routes. I don't remember, did enemies in DXHR have AI on that level?

I brought up FEAR earlier too. It's of course a corridor shooter but honestly all the fights here are also carefully set up set pieces too. You go to the animal warehouse and shoot it up. You go into that cave and shoot everyone inside. Etc etc., there aren't really any massive rolling hoping battles taking place in the city.

I played mainly stealth for like half of the game because my guns were garbage and I didn't bother upgrading hacking because the game didn't teach me how.

With mantis blades, better guns and a few perks to give headshot bonuses it's now a bit better but I still have to dumo half a mag into some assholes' head to bring them down.

Sab669 posted:

Hacking is more of a combat play style rather than a "Get super secret access to things" like in Fallout or Deus Ex.

It's more like, do you want to use Guns or Computers? Pick your preferred weapon and focus on its related stat and then grab Tech for the Crafting/Engineering perks I'd say.
