I was going to play it on PC but wife bought me a PS5 Pro for Christmas and we already owned it so didn't want to wait. Already have a little over 20 hours in @ Costa del Sol and not starting over. It's a great game so hope everyone jumping in for the first time on PC have a great experience!

Yeah I got the game for free and i’m 70 hours in so I think in sitting this one out.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

To each their own. I played it on PS5, PS5 Pro, and I will play it again on PC tomorrow.

This is the only "collection fest" game that was released for me in the last year so i'm down to spend 70 hours picking up ore and lifestream fragments.

Gonna be glorious...again...but just in 4k at >145fps this time.

Also, do not play this game on a keyboard...disgusting.

145fps in a game capped at 120? Is this achievable via mods or what

 

[Duchess]

100% of GOTY for 2024. Loved every minute of it.

Game is funny as hell, too, which was really surprising.

 

[rofif]

hyperbole asshole much

 

[JORMBO]

Nude mods when?

Game is out tomorrow. So .... tomorrow.

 

[od-chan]

If the boobs can be added so can the frames....

That's the problem - "it's just a glimpse" ie. it's a 10 minute video already showing the exact same issues which countless Unreal Engine games have had on PC already. Imagine how annoying it will be over the course of a 100 hour game.

I'm so done with this shit. There always has to be a catch. I can't even be bothered waiting for Digital Foundry and DSO Gaming to bring out the #stutterstruggle cattle brand to confirm.

So it's an unreal problem, rather than another shit port

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Glad people with PCs can play this, the game deserves all the love it gets.

This is how standard PS5 version behaved as well.

Does this game have FSR? If not AMD users are fucked with that TAAU.

hyperbole asshole much

Watch his review. He praised the ps5 pro version.

Very little, even less while not paying full price.

Should be. If it's more powerful than the Deck.

But hey let’s throw it in the trash in the thumbnail!!!! I hate the internet

 

[BlitzerRadic]

I have never played a FF game. How does this game works? Seems there is always a whole group involved. Are you controlling the whole group, or just one of them, or do you switch between them (in and out of combat)?

If you intend to beat the game and just want to have fun playing, do yourself a favor and play normal or easy. Some of the encounters (especially the bosses) are actually difficult to beat if you dont have a decent understanding of the mechanics if you play on dynamic difficulty. The last encounter even on normal will give you a very hard time if you dont know what you are doing lol.

If you don't know what you're doing by the last encounter, you should probably quit gaming or watch a walkthrough on youtube to get the story experience.

 

[xcalibersa]

If this game works on the steam deck why cant it run on the PS4?

 

[Skifi28]

Because they didn't make a PS4 version...!

 

[evanft]

At the 4:00 minute mark you can see a horrific stutter when the boss comes out the water, also at 4:48 when the chocobo shits some magic, and again at 7:54 several times in succession when Cloud and Sephiroth perform the special attack.

And the lighting still sucks:

Another shit PC port to throw in the trash.

I swear to god the worst part about PC gaming is PC gamers.

 

[tamago84]

am i going to feel regret with 5900x/3090 rig

 

[Nickolaidas]

Gpu wise, you're good.

 

[HRK69]

Nude mods when?

Probably in the first 12 hours /

 

[Gonzito]

[HRK69]

Is there going to be an OT?

 

[Nfactor_AF]

Just an FYI, anyone who pre-ordered on Green Man Gaming, the keys just got sent out.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

 

[Revolutionary]

Surprised that Nvidia doesn't have a Game Ready driver for this game. Or maybe they're rolling it into the DLSS4 driver next week?

 

[Nickolaidas]

I'm still at work. I won't be downloading anything for the next two and a half hours.

 

[SyberWolf]

almost unlocks and i still need to beat remake

 

[mèx]

It's unlocked. Price reverted back to the normal one.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Two hours to begin download.

 

[MMaRsu]

It's unlocked. Price reverted back to the normal one.

Still showing 48 euro's for me

 

[Yoshichan]

Downloadingggg

 

[mèx]

True, they extended the pre-order price until Feb 5th apparently!

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I have to download over WiFi

Luckily it's not too bad, would have preferred a pre load though.

 

[mèx]

Two hours to begin download.

If your PC is on, you can start the download via the Steam app on your phone. I use this feature all the time when I need to install something while I'm outside.

 

[SyberWolf]

big download 144GB for me

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

More spoilery than the other trailers.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Few questions we (and by we, i mean me) need answered:

- is HDR any good?
- How are AMD cards performing - I don't see a new AMD driver
- Is 3rd party FSR gonna play as nice as DLSS

Its gonna be a fun night.

 

[Nickolaidas]

It's not.

 

[Skifi28]

I hope you like ghosting.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

It didn't get a PS4 version and I assume that's because it just won't run on a PS4.

Also, I'm no tech expert but the Steam Deck has different components and I believe it likely has some architectural advantages over a PS4. It also has double the RAM.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

Hmm, torn between steam or Epic. Which one has no DRM?

I might just wait for performance numbers too. That PC exclusive video was far from adequate.

Which video

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Which video

Poor choice of words there - i meant the PC trailer (not the one today).

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

Sales aren’t going to be anywhere close to the “solid, uninspired” sales you mention

Why are you already calling this a “success”? They are likely to be “solid, more uninspired” here

Different standard, this isn't a PC exclusive nor a simultaneous release. A bunch of games games sell better on Steam than they do on consoles now. After all Steam is bigger than PS4 and PS5 combined.

Yeah mostly live service slop.

Hmm... just downloaded and my resolutions is greyed out and just says 1080? Can't change it...
