It doesn't seem to be too strenuous on the next-gen consoles, I wonder why this shit wasn't just capped at dat 60fps, because when it's there, it looks great.
Here you go
That AO is ridiculous.
I hope you can turn this off and force nvidia AO from control panel.
Yeah of course it's not all YT reviewers, I know that there are many good people there. but that just my experience with some channels and the reason why I'll go for forums impressions or to someone reviewing a retail game he bought himself over the small YT reviewers.

So how are the graphics on PS4 / PC ?

That makes sense. Heck I bought the game myself in this case. Even after getting a review copy.

Yep you can. On PC at least. The a or x button. On my second playthrough I hammered the ever living crap out of them.
Yes you can.

I'm interested in this game, but haven't seen much media for it. Deciding if I should pick it up in the near future.

graphics are kind of weird...was watching some streams and there are parts that look almost cell-shaded?
I've been playing for an hour now on the hardest difficulty. The combat isn't very smooth but its actually pretty fun. I died a lot in the beginning being careless. Spamming square will get you no where. Parrying/dodging/knocking enemies back is essential. The combat is simple but there's a lot of strategy to it. Always take out those ranged enemies first. Its still early, but I'm finding the ranger fighting style to be the best. I can run past big/slow enemies easily and attack from behind while dodging quicker enemies and following up with quick attacks. I'm definitely really glad I bought this and I hope everyone else that buys it will enjoy it as much as I am =]

Took this picture to try and show off the pseudo cell shaded nature of the game, pay attention to the wooden bridge and also the wooden structure to the left.

Thanks! Livestream looked really good; made me want to jump in. I think I'm going to go with the PC version.

Sounds good. PC version def didn't hitch for me as much but otherwise pretty close.
Did anyone get their key from GMG yet? I want to preload but no key
Game isn't up for preload even with Steam preorders, so that likely means you're getting your key around release time.
Here's the thing, it seems like they're using the "Ultra" shadows on PS4...which is not a good move.
While not impressive to behold they DO take a toll on performance. During review both a GTX680 and 780 actually had trouble holding 60 fps with this feature enabled. On medium the 680 holds 60fps perfectly with everything else maxed while dropping to high on the 780 achieved the same. The lower settings REMOVE shadows but they look weird regardless so no big loss.

could it be some sort of fake ambient occlusion? a bit like the "drop shadow" outline in games like far cry 3

That doesn't look semi cell shaded, it looks like a horrible implementation of AO.

Just completed my second boss fight other other than the tutorial one. I'm still enjoying it and will most likely see it through. The strategy during combat makes up for the lack of attacks you might use and the monster design is very food so far.

Here is my second half to the prologue with the boss battle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fjc8_2LH0J8
I streamed some of this last night and most folks watching seemed to really be enjoying what they were seeing. Reviews are going to be all over I think, but I see this game finding a great niche following. Even having put about 8 hours into the game now, I'm still finding myself getting my ass kicked if I'm not careful. This just showcases how intense the combat can be and how important strategy is as well.

Captain Difficulty sounds so mundane to what it actually is.

A few people have posted impressions, including mine which sits a page back.
And you guys gotta give it more credit than Mars: War Logs. It's more focused than that game by miles.

Agree, captain is really strange for being the higher difficulty but i guess it's related to the story...
It's ok. Not great but a good time filler .. It's more hack and slash than rpg.
I don't like the way you can switch can switch "jobs" I would have rather had to pick a job at the start.
Ps4 performance is horrible. If you have the option get it on PC.

Having played PC and PS4, not sure I agree with the term "horrible" not as smooth at times and fluctuating framerate. Yes. Horrible and un playabled. Not by any means. I wonder how the 360 and PS3 version perform then from this viewpoint.
Iron Creed, you have PS3 right? How is it treating you framerate wise?
Also just to show my appreciation for this game. Bought myself a retail version along with my review copies.

True enough. Didn't think of that actually.

It's not so much that you have 3 jobs and don't really select one, but that you have these 3 jobs that you have to use, it seems like. It's not, oh, just use one exclusively, no, you have to switch around to live.
But I'm only at the first village, so I might be wrong, hopefully.

I disagree it's very bad. It's not just going from 30 - 45. It's all over the place and with horrible stuttering.
Now I will admit to just coming off of dark souls 2 on PC with nonfaultering 60fps.so it may not be as bad for console only player who have been playing games like thief and Spider-Man .

I guess your refering to console peasants? I game on eveything including a high end PC. 60 FPS and smooth is nice. I still say from my personal standpoint it fluctuates a lot but I don't deem it terrible by any means. Different strokes for different folks.
Referring to string of bad performing consoles games in the past months.
I love consoles I want to play them which is why I bought this game for ps4.

Looks like it went up on steam early, along with an early retail release. Reviews are already up on steam. Given some of the criticism, its shady as fuck to make reviews available after release.

From what I've gathered. It due to the release being the 9th over in Euro territories. Still sucks, but it is what it is.

Could be, I had another picture with characters standing with a wood structure behind them and it looked like they had a black outline to them.
Definite possibility lol.
