Hehe, if we would be talking about CS:GO, I would be totally on your side ;-)
Yeah, I'm sure you'll hit 80 super easily!

I was just sitting at my desk doing some work and I felt this huge disturbance in the Force and rushed in here and now I see this game releases at noon on Friday? WTF? Time to do my first Steam refund.
You must be a sith!

This is such a lazy post. What exactly are we "getting"?
Gamekult PC review (in french) : 6/10
They say graphics aint pretty (no hd textures). Even in 4K, its still a ps3 game but 60 fps, no more black bars and adjustable FOV is a good thing.
OG one got a 7/10 (different tester) but this got 6/10 mainly because of the shitty interface and awful AI.

I couldn't find anything to confirm this, which is why i asked

The game was ALWAYS scheduled for the 15th of january, and the timeslot is apparently damn common.
Does it suck that others are playing it early than we the legal users will? Yes. But I'm not gonna blame Capcom over it. Well at least not this, fuck them for Megaman Legends 3 though
YEAH, well, looks like ExServ (if that's even his real name?!) wouldn't know brilliance if it hit him in the face!!
So, nothing we didn't already know for weeks. Friday can't come soon enough.

so their complaints are coming from it being exactly what we expected?
It's pretty interesting to read and this part probably is a good summary of the game for many
The jab at Bethesda and CDProjekt is good. It also seems they are playing the earlier build with the Japanese VA in it.
No HD textures is disappointing too but I guess they didn't want to spend much money on this. They didn't license the theme song or the Berserk stuff nor the Japanese voices probably to spend as little as possible.

I don't know why they'd expect HD textures. It's a port, not a remaster. Christ.
As for the crappy AI, that really depends on your pawn inclination. If they have an ill-fitting one, their AI will suffer greatly. With the proper inclination and knowledge of monsters, a pawn can have some of the most impressive NPC AI I've seen in a game, to be honest.

Haha, actually, that name is my PSN alt because I wanted to make a second Dragon's Dogma character, and Arrogant Smirk is a perfect anagram of my PSN name (which is the same as my GAF name).

Assuming it's not encrypted source, texture replacements will be popular anyways.
Is it a brazil only region lock or a latin america region lock?
The store page says Brazil.

Street Fighter V says brazil too but people on this thread were saying it was okay for the rest of latin america
hmmm....
Neither I said they deserve hate nor I'm pissed about the release date. I'm pissed about the game getting leaked on the internet and them not acting on it, letting their customers (like me) waiting until their scheduled date for the sake of it.
All kinds of mistreatment, this might not be the case but its still hilarious seeing a customer defending a company.
Again, I'm fine with the schedule, dunno why everybody seems to think otherwise, explained already up there.
I will blame capcom on not acting on it tho just to keep their marketing schedule.
Now back to the game. Does anybody know why DSR doesn't work off the bat? Got a gsync monitor and tried several combinations of on/off for settings and cant make the game go over my native 2k resolution to benchmark :C

So with so many people playing, I'm honestly surprised people haven't compared the x360 save game with the pc savegame already.
Because if they are still using what is basically an xml file, some minor editing should make a save transfer possible.
Could someone do some science?

So every game that gets leaked should get released ahead of time? Do you even know if the leaked copy is build 1.0? It might have a day one patch that they are still working on.
Don't demand things of companies without having any sort of insight into what their reasons might be.

Impressions: pretty sure the game is going to have a very mixed reception. Lots of questionable design decisions that require the user to dig a bit before finding the fun bits. But the fun bits are worth it: it's a tighter Skyrim for non-ADD people.
Oh, and it's amazing how many faults I forgave once I got strong enough to kill ogres. Fuck those things.

Wbacon said there will be a day 1 patch. Perhaps they aren't just sitting on their hands after the leak. Perhaps they are working on the game within their well planned pre-existing release schedule.
While it would be nice if they release a couple days early, it's not like they are trying to actively punish their paying customers by sticking to their release date. Patience.

Yeah, after RE4 HD retexture project (i.e. highly unlikely in our lifetime)
The "no HD textures" statement is weird because it's false. We've got already got comparisons between PS3 and PC versions showing higher resolution textures used in the PC version.
Since when is one project indicative of the entire modding scene? The game isn't even out yet.
Also, the RE4 HD project is difficult because they have to go find the actual real life areas where the textures were created from. Dragon's Dogma (especially since it's open world) probably re-uses a lot of basic textures.

I wouldn't worry too much about the "bad Pawn AI" complaints. Pawns become better as they gain experience. By experience I mean the kind gained from fighting monsters and knowing their abilities/tactics, not the kind that leads to level-ups and better stats.
When a pawn witnesses you defeating a monster they'll exclaim something to the affect of "I learned something!". Then, when another player summons this pawn, the information they have learned will be relayed. This also extends to quests, as pawns will point out important artifacts or anything else relevant to the current situation.
Since hardly anyone (aside from reviewers and pirates) is playing Dragon's Dogma right now, there are a severe shortage of not only summonable pawns, but also knowledgeable pawns.
All that said, pawns aren't perfect. They tend to get smacked around a bit by certain bosses.

Could someone perhaps send me a pc savefile so I can poke around a bit myself?
Wait, this isn't the theme song anymore?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLWzpzjQJdw
What is the new one?
No, that's still the theme song. The poster is probably referring to the OG DD theme song(Into Free) which they couldn't even license for Dark Arisen, so that's not actually different in the PC version.
Probably he was talking about "Into Free" from the original Dragon's Dogma.
Original Dragon's Dogma was B'z - Into Free

bad taste, bad taste everywhere.
Small update to the preload it seems?
E: Wait, I just noticed this now lol, it's 9pm over here already. Larger update then? Weird.
Things are moving on the app, they cleaned everything up and got it ready for release. Just updated some depots about a minute ago.
Keeping my eye on any movement.
Thanks a bunch. *Whips out Dark Souls 1 & 2 OSTs*

Don't forget inclinations. They can make a big difference.
A lot of pawns inadvertently get the "Guardian" inclination, no doubt due to players spamming "come!" or "help me!" commands, which has the nasty side-effect of fucking up their original inclination. A Guardian-inclined pawn will often run around your Arisen uselessly while they should be out there taking out mobs. This can be fixed by the Knowledge Chair somewhat, though the elixirs are preferable.
Oh great idea. I think I know what I'm gonna do to replace the [BBI spoilers]

Apologies if this is the wrong thread to ask this.
In the event that this never comes to current consoles, how much would a desktop that could run this at 60 FPS cost me?
I had a great time playing through this on 360, and I'd love to revisit it, but those last-gen versions were such a mess, I can't go back.

Boris working on his AO implementation for ENB it seems.
MT Framework games run on a toaster and from first reports, that's the case for DD as well. Might want to wait until some publications post performance comparisons after launch to determine which components you want to upgrade/pick for your build.

Not a whole lot if you don't want to go for performance-heavy mods like ENB that will eventually be released.

Damn since I worked all last weekend, was planning to take Friday off to play. Since it's coming out at noon instead, may decide to just take Monday off instead
I have uninstalled the game, waiting on Friday. But thanks in advance for this.
Another important note, multi channel export needs to be enabled in Audacity's settings. Let me find the setting real quick.
The middle one there.
