Yeah that's a possibility alright. Decisions decisions!!




Playing offline is actually a good idea to overcome the issue. Just out of interest, if you go to the full game on the store, does it show as purchased for you?

it just says start under the box in the store

Ah you are sorted so i'd say! Congrats, a nice bargain!

tis I was prepared to pay the 70 tomorrow on our store so chuffed

the 4 week wait till retail was a kick in the nuts when Iv nothing really to play

glad I was free today if this happened tomorrow id have been screwed:D

Played it for a couple of hours last night on PS4 and I'm enjoying it more than I did Dead Island.

It's hard to get a proper understanding of how the game mechanics really works as I'm only Level 3 at moment so quite limited in what I can do! I do really like the fact that you level up your agility and strength just by using them. The parkour works well though it's tricky to master but in that regard it does remind me a lot like Mirrors Edge so I'm looking forward to seeing how things change once I level up.

I've only had a few minutes at night so far but that was still part of the prologue so fairly hand held but still left me the dread of heading out there again!

My main issue with the game so far is the controls i.e. R1 to Jump, R2 to swing, L1 to Kick and L2 inventory but I can see why they have done it like this. I think once I've played the game for a while, it'll come naturally to me. I did try to switch them around but that ended up with me throwing fireworks instead of kicking

Played 3 hours of it there with some mates in Co-op, great craic! Hopefully have a video of it soon for guys that are still undecided

Ah I was always sold on this game, stuck in work this morning couldn't take advantage of the game stop gas.

Looking forward to getting this though especially after reading people's comments here and on reddit

PC folks if you're having stuttering issues when you move or turn, but FPS is fine when looking at the same scene without moving, and you have less than a 4G VRAM card then try turning the texture quality down. The game can eat up to 3.5GB of VRAM. I have a 690 and it has no problem with the raw processing but it was obvious that the stuttering was texture loading/unloading with it's behaviour, a few other folks on the Steam forum have verified this.

Now I know the texture visual quality itself does not seem like it should require any more than existing <2Gb games but they haven't bothered optimising it since the current gen consoles can access 4GB min.

Running great for me so far on my R9 270 at 1080p and settings at high, view distance is set to midway but haven't really toyed with that setting yet. I've read around people with much better specs than mine having serious fps issues though.

Didn't get to play a lot of it last night so will hopefully get a proper go tonight.

The kid is having issues running at anything that resembles playable.

Havent tried it on my pc yet.

Will probably have to wait for patch.

I wonder how many times this sentence will be used this generation.:(

I'm becoming disillusioned.

Is this available on ps4? Can't see it anywhere on store even when I search.

i got it on steam dam you compulsive buying ! then today i got a mail got green man gaming selling it for 35 or something so yeah 30 is a great price.

Managed to get mine going ok now just putting draw distance down completely seems to have fixed most of the fps issues for me.

GeForce gtx 670
intel core i7 8gb ram cant remember which type of ram i got in this

Anyhow it seems to running fine now oddly, that view distance is a real performance killer, games fun its like a less goofy dead island.

It's running great on PC for me, though I do have a new machine. I'm quite enjoying it, though I'm only really just past the prologue. I hadn't a clue what was going on in my fist night section when the agile feckers (no idea what their name is yet) started chasing me down. It wasn't until I died and had to do it over that I realised they had vision cones and I had to sneak past them. It's pretty cool the sense of panic you get from trying to evade them.

Just a couple of questions for those who played more than me:

1) When I go into my inventory it tells me it's backpack 4/4. Am I being stupid and this is just the amount of weapons I can have, and I've filled all 4 spaces, or are there several backpacks? It doesn't explain it in game, so had me wondering.

2) are you safe to land on any blue area, when you jump from a height? Or is it just the rubbish bags?
