40gb, id tech 5 is anti-pirate technology
An early unlock would be much appreciated. I always hate how these games release on tuesdays. They need to change it to Friday so i can play on the weekend.

Dunno but if you don't like it you can buy the PC version.
Yup. Friday releases like TLOU and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter were are always the best. Tuesdays suck.
Except for this Tuesday because all my classes are cancelled, yay!

I love Pokken!
Well, at least this Wednesday will be a holiday in my country so i can play this bad boy all night.
The Last of Us: Remastered only confirmed that The Last of Us was the best game I played in the entire previous console generation, but it does still have some flaws.
I suppose it is kind of sad that there wasn't a game in the entire last 9 years that was better than RE4.
They aren't dead until you burn them.

Do you have to burn them even if you remove their entire head? How rare are the flame items?
Performance concerns.

And need to buy a new PC because of strange high system requirements. No thanks

Alrighty then! Gotta cough up the dough if you want choices.
Why? It's just gonna be a bunch of reviews saying "this doesn't work properly because I'm bad at video games" or "this part of the game is a shame because I'm bad at video games".
Kinda like the recent Styx reviews.
To make sure they're dead or to quickly kill a downed enemy.
Slasher said matches were fairly uncommon.

I recall reading that burning, decapitation, and stealth kills would prevent the boss enemies from spawning from the corpses.

Just bought the PC version on Steam, preloading now. The ability to remove black bars was a crucial selling point for me.
I'm guessing no impressions on how the game performs without those bars yet, right? Has anyone come across a legit gameplay reason for having them? (mark your spoilers)

BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

If you get a proper headshot or a stealth kill then you don't need to burn them. Although the game still gives you the option of doing so just to fuck with you.
Requirements are generally bullshit.
Nope. We even had to force Bethesda's hand to admit the framerate. The removal of black bars and 60 FPS are considered unsupported by them.

Yeah, I think that's really weird how the removal of black bars is considered unsupported. Really curious to see how the game runs without them..
Chance Hale

I will laugh when removing the black bars just stretches the image.

Whelp, just ordered the Destiny Bundle. Gonna trade that bitch in (I wanted the white PS4) and put it towards TEW. Bring on Tuesday!

Aren't a bunch of them employees that worked with Mikami previously? This is Tango's first game as a company and it's on 5 platforms, I've yet to see anyone say the frame rate makes the game unplayable.
I'm not defending it I'm just sayin.
The choice of engine was unfortunate, I bet making a third person game with real time lighting and shadowing on IDTECH5 wasn't exactly trivial. I wouldn't be so quick to judge the team based on the sketchy performance here.
But yeah, it's a real shame that the game has tech issues, really hoping the PC build gets rid of most of them because I'm really loving what I'm seeing here otherwise. I'm getting the game on PS4 but if I like it I wouldn't mind double dipping down the line when there's a Steam sale.
The aliasing and frame rate in some of chapter 6 on the PS4
Also this game does NOT look good in the daylight level I'm on right now. In a dark environment with moody lighting it can look good. But I'd say this daytime level is borderline ugly. The blurry 2-D backgrounds remind me of the castle area of Dark Souls. Hope it goes dark again soon.
It is a shame that a very good game is marred by these issues. Some reviews are definitely going to dock points for the jank and technical problems. Hopefully not too much.

Got my call from Gamestop today saying I can pick it up Monday night at midnight...
They don't even put any effort into those calls anymore. The recording just says "your game" now instead of the specific title. XD

Actually matches are probably the thing I find the most but that does go back and forth.
YOU LIED
It's all RNG anyways.

crazy buttocks leaked the locked framerate and said it was an external team
can't be worse than PS3 Bayonetta
I see.
Dammit, 2 days to go and i still can't decide between PC and PS4 version.
And why reviews aren't out yet?
You do know you shouldn't have said that. It's like challenging the chaos gods to turn the universe upside down and make it worse just to piss you off.
Because Bethesda hates us
Thinking about sending an email to gaben@valvesoftware.com

I still have to give them credit for getting the game out almost a week to outlets for review. That has to say something at least, right?

No games the past generation manage to reach the level of RE4 or Shadow of the Colossus.
As of best game last gen maybe the Mario Galaxies. Leaving the Wii outside nothing in the PS3 touches Mark of the Ninja, not even The Last of Us which is Naughty Dog best game, even better than the critically over rated Uncharted 2.
The Evil Within seems like another great contribution to the genre from Mikami. Even with its short comings the look and atmosphere is perfect.
