Did we ever get a clear answer as to whether or not the Playstation Legion missions were exclusive to PSN downloads or if retailer buyers also got them?

I'm pretty sure both copies come with it, I think someone posted a picture of the PS4 retail copy earlier in the thread with a sticker on it that talks about the Legion missions.

 

[knitoe]

Yes. Just received my GMG key. So, is the Ultra texture pack included with the Steam preload?

Yes. My Amazon copy has that sticker.

 

[UnrealEck]

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.

I've yet to see a game fully utilise an i7 920 at 3.8GHz.
Crysis 3 comes closest but there's still a good bit of room. Maybe with more than one GPU it might have to pull more weight.

 

[yellow submarine]

Is there a way to get the Xbone version cheaper, and preferably digitally? I know there's a way to get it for 33 USD for PC version, but couldn't find any xbone pre-order deals. It's the full $60 on the Xbox store..

 

[Tahnit]

Fuck it. bought it cause its like 37 dollars with GMG. Guess we will see how it runs tommorow.

 

[~Kinggi~]

i am preloading this motherfucka like new hotness.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

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.

Hah, don't worry surely you will get the Shadows of Mordor.

Don't make me send you to Jelly School, M'kay? M'kay.

I fucking adore the i7-920. It was the first major CPU I bought(Over 6 years ago now) when I decided to start my first PC build. It overclocks so well. So damn well. That thing lasted the entire time I had it at 4Ghz. I upgraded to an i7-4770k and it sat in a closet and my wife asked me to build her a PC. Cleaned off the ol' 920 and sure enough, still working. It's been in my wife's PC for 7 mos. now coupled with a GTX 680 and it still runs everything she plays maxed out. I adore that damn processor. Great great great hardware.

Nehelem the godlike boss of CPUs, only outdone by the core i5 2500k series CPUs.

I love the 2500k, such an amazing processor and mine OC'd to 4.5 ghz on AIR no less.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

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.

Oh man, I almost made a purchase on that one earlier today! (Microcenter?) But, I had a tough time finding much consumer feedback, so decided to exercise some self restraint. Now I'm reconsidering. Haha

 

[Erban1]

I'm hype enough that I'm going to stay up until this unlocks at 1:45 just to get at least 45 minutes in tonight. I'll be sure to hate myself when it's time to get up for work, but DAMN if this doesn't look like one hell of a reason to miss out on sleep.

To be fair, only reason these cpu still play everything is everything after that has sucked. There hasn't been any major tech since the 4 core cpu's. 20 years ago if your pc was 6 months old it was a relic... how times have changed!

 

[caesar]

Lol at people thinking Valve give a shit about SoM. This is Valve.

 

[User 479360]

Hopefully my copy will arrive tomorrow. I'd like to get the review up by the weekend.

Wait so it unlocks at 1:45 on PSN?

 

[Carlius]

does it unlock tonight?

 

[-Deimos]

does it unlock tonight?

17 hours!

 

[SeanR1221]

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.

I'm in the same boat. I literally know nothing about this game. But all the positive word of mouth had me pre order at best buy tonight

 

[Grief.exe]

So, is the Ultra texture pack included with the Steam preload?

Nope, separate download that is not currently available.

Lol at people thinking Valve give a shit about SoM. This is Valve.

What are you referring to?

 

[VanWinkle]

how will some be playing tonight?

When digital unlocks.

 

[WordsintheWater]

Wait so it unlocks at 1:45 on PSN?

Mine says 2:45 EST.

 

[Carlius]

that is so lame that it doesnt unlock tonight...wtf...lame valve, LAMEEEEE

 

[Gaz_RB]

Mine says 2:45 EST.

Sweet thanks. I was just gonna wait for the Steam release, but since it's available tonight on PSN, the hype has forced my hand and I just pre-ordered on my PS4.

 

[JohnGrimm]

Yes. Just received my GMG key. So, is the Ultra texture pack included with the Steam preload?

No. It'll probably show up as DLC on Steam tomorrow just like Sleeping Dogs.

 

[Samus4145]

That's my daughter's name.

Well, orc name.

Really? Interesting. I wonder how many letters it is actually looking at.

 

[Erban1]

Wait so it unlocks at 1:45 on PSN?

That's what my countdown says...im in the central time zone

[caesar]

What are you referring to?

They barely communicate with the communities of their own games, I doubt this is even a blip on the radar.

 

[the_firewithin]

where is my key GMG?????!!!!!!!!!

 

[knitoe]

Nope, separate download that is not currently available.

No. It'll probably show up as DLC on Steam tomorrow just like Sleeping Dogs.

Wow. It's already 34GB without it.

 

[WordsintheWater]

I did the same thing, the fact that my class is canceled tomorrow played a big part in it

 

[Slixshot]

For anyone who is tasked for creating PC Performance Thread for this game... I made something for you. Put it in that OP.

This is amazing, btw.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Oh man, I almost made a purchase on that one earlier today! (Microcenter?) But, I had a tough time finding much consumer feedback, so decided to exercise some self restraint. Now I'm reconsidering. Haha

Colours and stuff are comparable to my last monitor, which was some random ASUS one that I bought 3 years ago for a couple hundred bucks. Nothing stunning. G-sync aspect works fine though. The only reviews I could find basically said "it's a decent monitor, with G-sync." And I'm fine with that.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

50C load brah, get on my level.

Also, it's not the basic cooler it came with I don't want to burn my house down.

 

[Grief.exe]

Are you referring to the unlock time? Monolith/WB set that up.

Wow. It's already 34GB without it.

That's the compressed download too, the game takes up 40.

 

[Carlius]

isnt the 970 a 4gb card? benchmark says 73 fps at max.

Monolith Community Manager seems to think it will be midnight EST on Steam. Is he just derping?

No Ultra textures yet, only need 3 for high

 

[Gaz_RB]

I have class all day tomorrow starting at 8 so I'm gonna pull an all nighter of orc slaying tonight. Cannot wait.

I'd trust the countdown on Steam over that guy.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

Dat min 41 doe...

Damn, looks like it's gonna be medium/high mix to maintain the 60.


Edit: Noticed in the video that the user immediately had a 41 min despite the demo just starting, but stayed above 60 the rest of the way. So more than likely just a loading in stutter that a lot of benchmarks have that completely fuck the average.

 

[Carlius]

its on ultra in the video. also with these specs accodring to article

Intel i5 2500K@4.4, GeForce GTX 970 Twin FROZR V with FoceWare 344.11 WHQL drivers, 8 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz.

Unless they somehow have early access to the pack

 

[Grief.exe]

I wouldn't. Steam timer is extremely unreliable.

Fact is, the unlock can be pushed through the database at any moment.

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

Fuck this shit of waiting, imma go sleep.

Game better be live when I wake up or imma go full dark lord on you monolith

 

[7DollarHagane]

This game looks interesting but I'm afraid it'll be lost in the shuffle until a price drop.

Omg Grief what are you doing to me.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Yeah I know, but my hierarchy of trust goes as such:

>Gaben
>
>
>Steam timer
>
>
>
>Community Manager, especially when he says check the steam page for more info.
