[Confidence Man]

how is this game in terms of the RPG elements? Is it deep, or is it just basic?

Not much aside from upgrading augmentations.

 

[bob page]

I dunno, call me crazy, but the 360 version looks better than any PC screen I've seen so far (in terms of overall image quality).

[TheExodu5]

Apparently SSAO isn't correctly being applied to characters in the PC version. =\

 

[flipswitch]

So apparently the game uses 60000 polygons on some of the models with tessellation, up from 7000.Has anyone noticed any difference?

 

[bob page]

Surprisingly, the lighting in the 360 version looked better in both of those areas. The textures also looked more detailed (not sure if it's because the resolution is so large on those screens). Look at the floor, desk, etc. in those screens... something just looks off (lighting most likely).

 

[SpaceBridge]

Are there any PS3 screens to look at in comparison?

 

[Solo]

Unless you are able to wholly separate art from tech, its not a great looking game on any platform. Not on a low end PC, not on 360, not on PS3, not on a high end PC.

In that respect, it truly is a DX sequel.

PC version:

360 version:

Notice the lack of ambient occlusion behind the character. Actually, even the rest of the scene is significantly worse in terms of AO.

Sounds like it's another case of PC getting the shaft in terms of visual fidelity, just like Underworld. =\

 

[Red Blaster]

I'm enjoying the game as much as the rest of you but this PC port is kind of shit. Mouse acceleration, random crashes/freezes for some, fudged SSAO, no MSAA. The fact they actually had a trailer boasting about PC exclusive features and yet all this shit made it past QA is hilarious.

Well, you did ask

Ya the 360 version seems on par with some of these screens you guys are posting, I wouldnt go as far to say it looks better but it runs really damn good and im more than happy

 

[flipswitch]

I agree that the X360 version looks better with the ambient occlusion, but it appears the PC version has higher res textures on the character models, like above.

 

[kokujin]

any word on a patch for the PC version?It seems like it has a few key problems, and I'd rather wait to play it if it's going to be patched.

 

[Exuro]

Turned mouse sensitivity down to 1 bar and cranked up my mouse's DPI and its playing a lot better now.

 

[MrPing1000]

Oh balls old credit card used on my order back in May, had to update payment options, only noticed today. Probably won't get the game until Saturday... sigh.

 

[Akkad]

Is there a way to make the subtitles and the minimap a little bigger (PC)?

 

[TheExodu5]

For those who do care about the mouse issues, to fix them, you need to turn off both SSAO, and DirectX 11. Turn off triple buffering / vsync at your own discretion.

This is the closest I have, I do agree on the lighthing being off, but the textures? c'mon. Also FXAA High does a decent job. I'm please with the port, coming from the leak this is a HUGE step in polish, also I don't have dx11 so I assume this can be improved.

Wow, don't you just love quality PC ports lol.

The character model textures do look better, but it all just looks.... sterile? I don't feel that way with the 360 version.

Regardless, I'll probably play it on my rig for my 2nd playthrough.

 

[dollartaco]

Mouse seems fine for me. VSync on, TripleB off. Latest Catalyst.

 

[Unicorn]

Guess I'll wait for a patch or 2 before I pick it up for PC

:C

 

[x3sphere]

Compared to PC, textures look muddy to me on the 360 version.

Anyways, I'm not having any problems with the game other than long loading times and I don't notice the mouse lag, shrugs.

 

[Knuckleruckamus]

PC version:
(some pictures)

Sounds like it's another case of PC getting the shaft in terms of visual fidelity, just like Underworld. =\

Huh? Getting the shaft how, by actually having additional decals/texture and not looking completely washed out?

 

[GhostRidah]

I havent stopped playing this since 3am, its so awesome.

 

[grendelrt]

So anyone else see this funny poster in game? I am going to link in case people dont want to spoil little things.

[kokujin]

Wow, don't you just love quality PC ports lol.

I saw this coming from a mile away.Would it kill them to make game for the PC.

 

[Amir0x]

now i know the game depicts an unrealistic future. Everyone knows SquareEnix will be out of business by then.

and Detroit actually not being a wasteland? Pfft. They really need to work on their depiction of the future.

 

[JEKKI]

grrr help I am stuck at the begining!!!

Im playing on PC, and I cant seem to move!!! the screen is stuck at this part!!!

I can look around with my mouse, I can press either ESC or SPACE to bring up a blank screen that lets me click on RESUME

but other than that, no other buttons are making me move at all!!!

I am such a PC gaming scrub, this is the only game Ive ever played other than Starcraft, but I thought PC was suppose to be the way to go for this game... >_< now I dont even know how to get past the beginning...

 

[slipknot2009]

So basically, I keep trying to play stealth mode and end up constantly ending up in massive fire fights. I may just ditch that for a more psuedo run and gun style.

How's everyone else finding the stealth?

 

[Figboy79]

Ended up ordering it from Gamestop online, and using my gift card there, since I don't plan on ever going into another GS again.

I'm reminded why I use Amazon. If it wasn't for the genuinely surprising gift card from my friend, I'd have ordered it from there instead.

Fricking Gamestop. Well, now I guess I just wait for it to finally get shipped to me. Hopefully it will be here before the weekend. *sigh*

 

[TheExodu5]

I didn't say it looked worse, I just said it got the shaft like Underworld did: compromises. Significantly inferior SSAO, in this case.

 

[WrathOfOtaibah]

So how long is this game?

 

[Qwomo]

Really though, is anyone else having problems with their eyes hating this game?

It's driving me crazy, I can barely play it.

I think it may be the refresh rate, it's stuck at 59 Hz? It's that or lag while turning.

 

[dreamer3kx]

PC version looks too damn clean, console versions look more I dont know, more realistic, Im just basing on screenshots above.

 

[Blizzard]

Honestly most people didn't seem to be having problems with the PC version as far as I could tell, right? I mean, the day where we're complaining about a game with DX11 (unlike say Crysis 2), that has what, 5 DIFFERENT anti-aliasing options, that has individual controls for two different mouse axis, that has vsync AND triple buffering options, that has 99 save slots, AND quick saves... They even spent some specific effort to work on the PC version if I recall correctly.

Now seriously, there are flaws, but given all those features, how many games/ports typically have those features?

 

[Square Triangle]

Just came home with the Augmented Edition. Holy shit, even at only $10 extra this is pathetic. The artbook is thinner than my local cony island's menu.

 

[JEKKI]

I've pressed every button on my keyboard and every button on my mouse!!!

the only new buttons that work are the windows buttons (which brings me back to windows) and another button that took a screenshot!!!

I think I just spent $60 on a game that won't let me play it

 

[Stitch]

yeah right, the pc graphics are also too angular.

 

[george_us]

Man the facial animations suck. The animation overall seems a bit rough and is taking me out of the experience a bit.

 

[vaelic]

hopefully ill have enough money by xmas to get this. our 2nd baby is on the way and money is tight

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

pc version is much more detailed, cleaner and has a much better framerate (if your machine allows)

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

So how long is this game?

40 hours.

 

[Square Triangle]

Priorities are all dun fucked up here.

 

[x3sphere]

Texture compression is what's giving the 360 ver that look, not sure how anyone could like that, but whatever...

Here's some screens of different areas

 

[childplease]

Admit it guys who did this ?

My bad, didn't mean to put words in your mouth.

For whatever it's worth, this game has been a pleasure to play on PC. Clean, crisp looking without any of the graphical nightmares of, say, Witcher 2. Smartest thing I've done so far is turn on Triple Buffering which bumped the framerate from 30-40 to 50-60.

 

[shintoki]

Quick question. Any place to store guns stuff or something? I'm hoarding like a squirrel and about to jack a few new nuts.

2nd, Should I just sell the weapons then and keep the ammo? Pistol is going be a pretty common pick up I bet

Do you have a gamepad plugged in? If so, try unplugging it.
