What the hell Amazon...

Shipped today and delivered tomorrow??

The collector edition...

 

[Not Drake]

I'm really impressed with the way side quests are presented. Even with the bar raised by TW3, Mankind Divided managed to hit me hard with some of them.

K+M

 

[Simo]

Just a few pages from the art book I quickly took with my phone for those curious.

 

[Kuraudo]

Apparently I'd completely forgotten every element of the HR story.

Loving the game so far: like the previous game, it's an RPG that manages to somehow scratch the MGS/Splinter Cell itch.

First person, so M/KB

Gamepad, only because it's easier for me to play with a pad for now.

Can someone with the Season Pass tell me if the praxis points and weapon packs can all be redeemed today? And if so is there a certain point in the game you need to be or are they unlocked after the tutorial basically? Trying to decide if I should get it today or wait, really want those extra points tho.

Also anyone here get the guide? How is it?

Is there an patch that needs to be downloaded on PS4 and if so how big was it?

I heard that the Missing Link plays some sort of role in the story for MD so it might be worth another play through real quick while waiting for Steam.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Lirik and itmeJP got basically 100% perf increase from disabling SLI. Dansgaming got performance increase from enabling SLI. Take from it what you will.

That's... Strange.

Are they all using the same cards?

I know Lirik got Titan X (prev gen) but I assume JP got like 5 1080's

did they include the past game preview. I watched it on youtube and wondered if it was in the options.

 

[ChuckNyce]

I'll play around with both but I'll be the odd man out and say Dual Shock 4 as I plan to play from the couch in my office primarily.

Edit - more gamepad players than I expected, good shit.

 

[Jebral]

PC players:

Steam controller!

 

[kami_sama]

What the fuck, the preorder bonuses, like guns and praxis kits are not unlimited, you use them in one save, the're gone forever.

 

[Tovarisc]

That's... Strange.

Are they all using the same cards?

Lirik has several pre-pascal Titan X's, itmeJP has SLI-1080's and Dan has SLI-980's.

Never played HR, but watching the recap I couldn't help but think about MGS for some reason

 

[idonteven]

my ps4 turns into a jet engine during dialoge

You just need to rebuy them with real money. No big deal

Spoiler

j/k

KB/M...this game is struggles to give players as much control as possible using a gamepad. It uses a unique control layout specific to Mankind Divided to provide that but even that isn't enough, most of the new augs require you to be able to move and aim at the same time and the new control scheme is the only one that allows it but it limits that ability to one aug at a time.

Hot keys are pretty much the reason why KB/M is better here by a mile.

PC performance thread?

I can throw one up. Need to find some benchmarks.

EDIT: Looks like somebody else is doing it? Not sure.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Lirik has several pre-pascal Titan X's, itmeJP has SLI-1080's and Dan has SLI-980's.

Yeah I think Lirik got tri sli setup.

Weird. I wonder what my system will be like.

 

[Nzyme32]

PC players:

Gamepad or M/KB?

Mouse and keyboard at the desk; Steam Controller in the lounge.

Albeit I'm fairly sure today I'm playing at the desk.

 

[ISee]

PC performance thread?

Should be up soon.

I can throw one up. Need to find some benchmarks.

I think Chobel is preparing one, but not 100% sure.

 

[Laurentius]

Listening to remixes of the UNATCO theme (the best theme in video games, IMO) to get in the mood.

This one is really, really good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odfCTFPyZCo

Oh man I need this art book ...

Comfy Couch + Steam Big Picture Mode + 50" TV + XB1 controller + beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm.
Perfection. ^_^

I'll hold off.

Just realized I preloaded the game on my HDD and not my SSD. Now it's going to take like an hour to unencrypt.

You can move the pre-load manually, for future reference (with less than eight minutes to go until unlock o'clock, there's probably not enough time to do so now). Assuming you've a library folder on your SSD, that you set up within Steam, just move the depotcache folder and appmanifest_appid.acf file from [Steam dir]\SteamApps to [SSD library dir]\SteamApps, then delete the pre-load from within Steam (right-click -> Delete local content) and restart the client.

To find the app id of the game, simply visit its store page and take note of the number in the URL. In the case of Mankind Divided, the URL is http://store.steampowered.com/app/337000/, which means the corresponding manifest file is appmanifest_337000.acf.

Does anyone know if they got these things playing on radios in Mankind Divided like HR had?

aye, Thank ye kindly sir, for this peak at ye arty tome.

 

[Lister]

PC players:

Game what?

It's a shooter, so mouse and keyboard will be leagues better than any gamepad... however I'm going to give the Stema controller a shot as well.

 

[Fledz]

8min!

Shame I have to go see a friend from outta town for a few hours though in a couple of hours. I mean, it's not really a shame because I haven't seen him in ages, but I look forward to playing DX drunk when I get home later tonight haha.

 

[Simo]

No this is the actual 200 page art book released by Titan Books today. The art book in the Collector's Edition is pretty much a sample of that book. lol

 

[The Wraith]

I understand. That lower than native resolution gives everythign a soft, nostalgic look

I know that's not how it works, im just trying to justify it in my head lol.

 

[kami_sama]

Are these from the Season Pass or preorder bonuses?

Preorder bonuses, but I don't think the season pass would be any different.

 

[MadD4mon]

Gamepad so I can play on my couch and my 4k TV.

 

[doyoueven]

Ooohhhhhh boy oh boy 5 mins

 

[Unknown Soldier]

PC performance thread?

Yes, please!

 

[Plum]

I retract my earlier statements.

Listening to HR's Icarus theme whilst seeing that there's only five minutes left to launch has put me in hype overload.

Time to clear out my SSD because fuck, I can't wait for this shit.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Gamepad so I can play on my couch and my 4k TV.

Maybe check out the Corsair Lapdog. =)

 

[Lashley]

Would hacking a robot to kill someone count as lethal? I don't want to screw up my non-lethal save.
