You'd understand if you ever used a tripod before... Camera controls don't feel like controlling a camera if everything isn't inverted properly.

So i emailed Nuuvem to cancel my order and ordered from GMG. I noticed that they're still advertising the preorder bonuses. What are the chances that my copy will have them? They also haven't given me a key yet - how long does that usually take?

Runs fairly decently at 1440p on my 680 (left the settings at the suggested defaults, effectively High across the board except for textures at Medium). I'm averaging frame rates in the upper 40s to low 50s. Using a DS4 as my controller, and everything works fine.
Combat is unusually satisfying, though I never played the Arkham games, so if that combat style is out of fashion due to being overused it's not bothering me any. Kills (especially the stealth ones) are both widely varied and brutal. Mostly I've been running around racking up stealth kills wherever possible, but even the bow works well in a pinch.
Very high production quality all around and a nice intro as well. I think I'm going to enjoy this one a lot.

I'm always conflicted about whether to use a mouse and keyboard or a controller for games like this. I eventually had to switch to mouse for Sleeping Dogs because guns are easier to aim, and I've been doing the same with this game because of the bow.

Ahh...
I'm an inverted Y person because my first introduction to controlling something in 3D space was flight sims. I could also see how people didn't use nay inversion at all, but the inversion of the left and right always baffled me. That must suck for you because the as Shadow of Mordor shows, not every game gives you the option to invert left and right.

That was an incredible opening, I can't wait to play more.

Holy shit. I finally got through to the main menu after five minutes of watching it load. Then I had to wait FIFTEEN MINUTES for it to load me into the section after the tutorial. Finally in, and none of the controls work. Not the keyboard, not my controller, nothing.

Damn, I was going to buy this game on my Xbone... just might have to get the PC version and use my r9 290.
Anyone know if GMG is still doing that deal?

Decided to watch a couple of minutes and ended up hooked for almost half an hour. The combat looks satisfying and nervous and the visuals are really, really good...Superb music as well.

The opening will surely go overlooked. My 660 Ti is running it just fine except I noticed some screen tearing during the first playable sequence. Go figure.
It's quite interesting. It starts off generic, but it opens up. I'm my own mixed combos. The beheadings, power shots, wraith, etc

When did this unlock? Yesterday it had 1 day and 8 hours to go before I went to bed, then suddenly it loads... I could have been playing this all day instead of doing my Chinese homework!
Verify the cache. Problems like that are usually the result of something fucking up during the download.

I personally can get used to X not being inverted (though I definitely prefer it being so having used a proper camera/tripod setup for years). It's no Y inversion that makes me truly sad though.
Anyone? And if yes, do you know the code?

So the port quality seems very high, with the 6 GB Vram requirement being complete bullshit as expected.
Deal is still on going, code is advertised right on the front page http://www.greenmangaming.com/
You would be crazy not to get the PC version with those specs.

Apparently, some GAF are already playing it on my Friends List.
I meant just for this game, but thanks anyway, I might try this out instead of DS4tool.
Awesome, definitely going to use it next time I play.
That is literary every videogame, you smash buttons so cool stuff happens on the screen... unless you are more into lame stuff happening or whatever.

So is it normal for the first area to be completely surrounded by enemies? Like, I can't hardly do anything because if I fight anyone they call in reinforcements and then there's a whole horde of them on me.

No Y inversion means a no buy for me. I just couldn't enjoy the game. Btw, you just scared the shit out of me because I thought you were saying that Shadow of Mordor didn't have Y inversion.
I'm pretty sure you can invert the Y axis. You just can't invert the X.
No in some games I die if press the wrong buttons. There's a difference between something like DMC and Assassins Creed combat.

Finally in. Waited for about three minutes with no control of my character and it triggered a cutscene.
Someone in the Steam thread mentioned that Playfire rewards retroactively trigger when you earn them around launch. Take that as you will.

Wait a min can you invert Y in this game? If not I'm going to be insanely pissed as I preordered digitally on the ps4...

I've been playing for the last hour, combat seems challenging enough, there is a combo system, abilities to unlock, choice with ranger-melee or wraith-stealh.
seems alright so far, but you can always be reductive about it anyway.

Damn, that opening was pretty good. Seems stuck at 35% loading and won't let him start the actual game. There must be a lot of people downloading this at the moment.

Okay potential spoiler talk from the first hour in. It has to do with the captains and is not story related but marking it as spoiler anyhow.
I really hope some new guys get recruited quickly, or they can come back from the dead right? Just from running around the map for an hour half the captains are dead: http://i.imgur.com/SnBYu9w.jpg image link to show what im talking about. Granted I've only done like 2 story missions but I hope they get harder.

There's also a difference between Assassins Creed combat and Batmans, and its real easy to spot.
lol when i heard this game was like batman, i didn't expect it to be... pretty much exactly like batman lol. From the movement controls to the combat system to its open world stuff(minus flying)... its PRETTY much batman.
I can see why they didn't want this to launch at the same time as batman.
Besides that though, game is fun. Don't really get the sprinting while vaulting over stuff mechanic, not many stuff to vault over in open plain area.
Also captain power levels... don't seem to matter much, if you've mastered batman combat challenges, shit is a joke so far.
will keep at it... but its 2am. tomorrow then!
