Support NeoGAF

So it looks my my 780 should be able to run most everything max (and average 60) except the ultra textures, good enough for me.

This will be basically everyone who doesn't have a Titan. In this case you'll be in the 99.999999999999999991 percentile of people.

Spoiler

Including me. :3

Yeah, I really wish this unlocked on steam earlier.

Who do we need to bug on twitter to fix this?

probs this although they dont look terribly active https://twitter.com/WB_Games

actually probably this https://twitter.com/middleearthgame (the account of the game? why do games have accounts now?)

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Got my keys. I take back anything horrible I've said.

Now to figure out which controller to play with...

 

[addyb]

Grrr I have to wait til Thursday. It's dragging already. I can't watch anymore footage as its just a tease. Getting bored of Destiny so fifa will have to pull me through.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Sweet looks like we'll get to preload tonight at some point afterall!

Now the wait for the key.

 

[Winterblink]

GMG Keys going out, just got mine, activated on Steam, yaaaaaaaay

 

[Patroclos]

Sony needs to get on that 12AM EST unlock time.

Where is Monolith based? Somebody told me the release coincides with Midnight in the devs timezone. Probably bullshit but it was true for both Diablo and Destiny on PSN, that is when I started paying attention. They were both 3am EST releases.

 

[Lizardus]

Got the GMG key, pre-loading begins.

[Conkerkid11]

GMG sent me my season pass key, but not my game key.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Oh, Tomb Raider also does that, but the Tomb Raider benchmark is pretty useless anyway. The actual game is much more demanding.
Still, one drop to 55 in a short clip would be enough for GAF to call a game "not 60fps" if it happened in a console game despite games that GAF had no problem calling 60fps like MGS2 on PS2 dipping much worse and more often.

A lot of people on GAF say a lot of really stupid things. The obsession with the idea of a 60fps target being a binding contract and if you drop even one frame you've violated it is one of these things. At any rate, brief dips to 55 are laughed at by my G-sync monitor.

 

[Etnos]

Unlocking on steam tomorrow 12pm? bummer...

 

[knitoe]

Want my GMG key which I ordered on 7/02/14. On their website, the order is listed complete, but no key. Today, I also ordered the season pass and got the key already.

[Crimsonclaw111]

So people are finally getting their GMG keys, eh? I might actually order it now.

Playfire ahoy.

 

[Soi-Fong]

So Steam people can't play this at midnight right..?

 

[Loxley]

Just got my GMG key

 

[Pops Maellard]

Nope, because reasons.

Losing hope with every hour that the store page doesnt update.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Nope, because reasons.

The answer to these issues is always digital oceans.

 

[Audible]

Someone is streaming this on PS4. Reminds me of AC: LotR edition so I'll probably pass on it.

 

[c0Zm1c]

Just got my key from GMG, woooooooo!

 

[Kard8p3]

Bye

 

[Tahnit]

Would like to buy it but after watch dogs im not quite sure if my i7 920 is going to cut it anymore. Its oced to 3.6 but I may just end up getting this on ps4.

Going to wait till i hear some performance reviews. Which sucks cause that deal on GMG is going to be over by then.

Which one do you have? Is g-sync as glorious as I like to imagine it is?? :3

(My all-time biggest peeve is judder/stutter caused by an unsteady framerate.)

I'm not a fan of AC. I had the same concerns but do some research on the Nemesis system before you dismiss it so cavalierly. Combat looks to be better than that series as well.

Start bugging them, people. I forgot my twitter password so there's nothing I can do.

No GMG key

Still running an OG i7 920 @ 3.9GHz here, runs Watch Dogs great with a GTX 970, but it ran like ass for me on my old 2GB GTX 770, so the CPU is still fine.

Watch Dogs isn't a good indication of performance for any system IMO.

It's Happening you guys!

What are the odds that like Wal-Mart will have this around/after midnight? I hadn't been following this game at all and then all the good buzz/reviews came out of nowhere and I'm insanely hyped, especially after the disappointment that was Destiny. The best part is since I haven't been following the game (which didn't appear to have the same hype cycle as most games) which means I have zero expectations. I love games that sell on word of mouth alone. Games like those usually ended up in my GOTY lists.

 

[LurkerPrime]

What are the chances Steam support answers developers faster than customers?

 

[dcassell]

Nuuvem states that we will be able to redeem their keys at 10 am CEST, which is 1 am Pacific time. Any truth to that statement?

Is your walmart a 24 hour store? They will have it at midnight if so. I usually go to the one by me that is 24 hours for most games that gamestop doesnt do a midnight launch for

Yeah I gave up trying to play the game. Waste of $60. I have a gtx 770 4gb so im hoping it will be enough.

The Walmarts around me are open 24 hours but never, ever sell new games until the morning shift comes in.

They've actually patched it quite a bit, if you still have it installed, you might update to the latest Nvidia drivers and fire it up on UPlay. I actually downsampled it to 3840x2160 and even with The Worse mod installed, I'm getting a solid 30fps during gameplay.

On a 2GB card, it's still rubbish tho IMO.

Seriously nothing runs watchdogs well, you could have an 8 core cpu running at 5 thz with dual titans it would still suck!

It's glorious in the sense that there's no judder/stutter! Although I haven't done extensive testing on it yet.

It's the AoC 1080p G-sync monitor. Forgot the model number but there's only one so it shouldn't be hard to find.

 

[Zukuu]

Any convincing gameplay footage of the battle system in action? Curious about the game but not quite sure yet.

My GMG key is here, at last!

Now to dedicate the entirety of my Internet connection to SoM's monolithic download...
