Support NeoGAF

[Ascheroth]

Crashes (primarily on AMD)
Locked to 900p in full screen mode (can be worked around with Windowed full screen tools)
Wonky performance (although the same is true for the console version)
Stuttering cutscenes
Missing prayer feature

I think crashes were equally likely on Nvidia. The game just really didn't like some cards. I remember the 4xx series was completely busted and Nvidia also had some cards that crashed all the time.
My 290 never had a single crash in ~50 hours and I played at launch fwiw.

 

[Servizio]

Hey.

Hey.

It's not a port. It's the PC version.

 

[KainXVIII]

Also russian price is 2999 rubles 🤑

Here is preorder for NBA 2K18 for only 1799 rubles, so Konami indeed crazy/greedy with their PES price 😅

 

[Ascheroth]

Im just saying that a game that "looks like that" shouldnt have such performance problems with high-end GPUs.

I know its not a port-problem, but a problem of the game.

The Lighting, particle effects, character models and animations are really high quality. It's mainly the environment textures and models that show the (lack of) budget.

Yeah, i still wondering why exactly this game run so bad, outside 2B model i can't say that it looks great. I mean, LOD is really bad, most textures looked very low res and lighting was rigged for me most of the time.

 

[spindoctor]

I was fine with this situation for Dark Souls, but I'm not going to support something like that again you know what I mean? They've found success and it's an easy enough fix- Square Enix should treat the platform and its community better.

This is perfectly reasonable. I played the game at launch and loved it but the way Square Enix has handled everything about the PC version of this game is disgraceful and I no longer recommend that anyone buy it. I realize it's a bit hypocritical for me to have looked past it's issues and enjoyed the game but then tell others not to do the same but honestly, nobody should have to look past those issues in the first place. What were a few quirks at launch have now become actual black marks against the game because of Square Enix.

I know its not a port-problem, but a problem of the game.

It's important to highlight though, because it quickly leads to the following thinking for a lot of people:
"My GTX 1080 cant run it at 4k/60fps locked ? Better get it on my PS4/PS4 Pro" which is assuming these versions have no performance issues. It's kinda the same with KT ports. While most of them are bad, a lot of them also are better than their console counterpart. Spirit of Sanada has bad performance on PC, but also on console since it runs at 900p/30fps or so I heard.

Also this.

 

[InquisitorAles]

I forgot to mention bloom artifacts in Nier, that was most annoying issue with this game for me.

It not always been so blocky for me, but still very noticeable, especially in that forest.

 

[derFeef]

Also I always have the mouse cursor present on my screen in Nier, so weird. It also recenters after you move it to the side... lol.

MIssing prayer feature??

 

[spindoctor]

I just got a 33% off coupon for Tacoma. Already own the game so if anyone wants it just hit me up. I didn't think it was very good FWIW.

Looking at these stats, I'm pretty sure now that it has flopped. Concurrent numbers don't matter that much for a game like this but it it's indicative of the interest the game is generating.

 

[Snakethesniper]

So I just upgraded my pc and updated to Win10. Now when I download from steam, there a "System" process that takes 100% of the HDD, slowing the download.
Anyone knows what's up?

 

[Hektor]

MIssing prayer feature??

In the console version of the game you could not only retrieve and revive other players corpses, you could also pray for them which healed them a bit if they are online or gifted them a small item next time they played online.

 

[ezodagrom]

If I'm not mistaken, the crashes were fixed through newer drivers.

That's because PES will sell well irregardless. FIFA, PES, FM always sell well. This is if you're talking about football.

If PES is something else here, then...well disregard my above comment.

 

[Lanrutcon]

There's a rumor going around that some of you haven't bought Divinity: OS 2 yet.

But that's just a filthy rumor, right?

Of course.

If only I had more time for such dreadnought games...

 

[Jadax]

So the new Dishonored is out today - and I haven't seen any gaffer comments.

Is it that bad?

 

[Ascheroth]

Unfotunately Ys VIII came out on the same d--
oh

I just got OS 1, so I'll have to play through that first.

 

[JaseC]

There's an OT. There's some trepidation among PC players due to the state Dishonored 2 launched in and the game unlocked on consoles at midnight ET, which was only six hours ago, so there isn't much in the way of impressions just yet.

 

[derFeef]

So the new Dishonored is out today - and I haven't seen any gaffer comments.

Since there are no comments, what makes you think it's bad?

 

[Lanrutcon]

The original is a super cool game. Your time will be well spent.

The sequel, however, makes the original look like a goddamn prototype.

 

[Uzzy]

So the new Dishonored is out today - and I haven't seen any gaffer comments.

Is it that bad?

I mean, there's only so much money and time I can throw at games this month, and Life is Strange: Before the Storm took precedence. Otherwise I'd be talking about the new Dishonoured and D:OS2 probably.

That said, I did pick up Dishonoured 2 for half price like three weeks after release.

 

[Jadax]

Since there are no comments, what makes you think it's bad?

Well for one, the reviews I just read after I made the comment. Secondly, no one (?) here recommending it is also a negative.

 

[Monooboe]

Hmh randomly got a coupon for Tacoma, 33% off, tempting. How did SteamGAF like it?

 

[Phinor]

Well for one, the reviews I just read after I made the comment. Secondly, no one (?) here recommending it is also a negative.

The amount of games right now is completely insane. Dishonored 2 was one of my favourite games of last year but I've no idea when I can even start with the expansion with these other top tier games that just became available within the past few weeks. Couple of "official" reviews at Opencritic, both gave it 8.5/10 so it's probably really good.

Same fate with Original Sin 2 right now. It would be a good quarter if these two were the only two games that were released but they are just few among many.

 

[Wok]

I have skimmed through Steam agenda until the end of the year. It is packed.

Plus games which can be preordered:

Plus stuff which should be released like Miegakure and are not yet advertised on the store.

You say until the end of the year but list Iconoclasts...

 

[Wok]

In Steam's agenda, it is listed for October 17th. But, yeah, it could be postponed.

 

[Servizio]

This is an entirely "I'm angry and I want to vent" post, so feel free to ignore it as such.

I'm playing Star Wars TM Battlefront TM EA TM since it was only five bucks yesterday and: Anyone who says Origin is a better client than Steam is not playing this game. The client overlay integration sucks. Turning it off means you can't report cheaters. Having it on means it keeps windowing my game with pops if I alt-tab in and out.

Just a lot of room for improvement for such a bare bones client.

 

[ussjtrunks]

Square should be ashamed of what they left the port of Nier like off all other issues surely the framepacing of the cutscenes and the resolution bug were easy fixes for a massive company like them. I'm waiting for a humble bundle to play it now honestly and thats sad as I would have dropped 60 euro on a decent port easily.

MSAA breaks the LoD and fullscreen isn't 1080p for some reason. Also, some cutscenes stutters.
The first one is resolved by not using MSAA, as activating AO activates temporal AA and playing with borderless fullscreen also solve the 1080p issue.

Damn, that's insane :/ I was planning to buy the game when it's $20, but now I'm doubting

 

[texhnolyze]

That's not true at all.

PES 2017 only sold 180k copies while NBA 2017 almost made 500k.

 

[Durante]

It also has stuttering cutscenes.

Which is also easy to fix and should have been in a patch in the first week. Just like the fullscreen issue. And then the port is good. (Just like it is now if you use FAR, basically -- except FAR makes it even better)

That this patch did not happen is inexcusable. (I don't know whether S-E or Platinum or both are to blame)

And what does the support of arbitrary resolutions mean if the performance when using those is bad? With a 1080Ti it still cant keep 60fps in 4k

I don't believe that is true. Unless you are using MSAA, which is just a bad decision in this game due to its interaction with LOD transitions. (And the MSAA performance drop is well within what is to be expected from MSAA in a deferred renderer)

Of course, game performance overall is not particularly well-optimized, but that's not a port issue. Remember that it runs at only 1080p on PS4 Pro.
(And in fact, PC is the only platform where you can do something about this lack of optimization by adjusting the GI compute shader with basically no visual impact for a large perf. improvement with FAR)

I think crashes were equally likely on Nvidia. The game just really didn't like some cards. I remember the 4xx series was completely busted and Nvidia also had some cards that crashed all the time.
My 290 never had a single crash in ~50 hours and I played at launch fwiw.

On Nvidia, the crashes only happened on pre-Pascal cards apparently.
And this was fixed in a driver update (just like AMD apparently fixed theirs in a driver update).

In this case it's actually hard to blame the game -- generally game issues don't affect only specific GPUs and don't get patched in drivers.

I forgot to mention bloom artifacts in Nier, that was most annoying issue with this game for me.

It not always been so blocky for me, but still very noticeable, especially in that forest.

Those are terrible. They are also on PS4 pro (not on PS4, since everything is blocky ).

I fixed them on PC because they were that annoying.

 

[ussjtrunks]

Does Far fix the stuttering cutscenes durante and did they ever explain why it was happening?

 

[Coreda]

I fixed them on PC because they were that annoying.

Not sure why but FAR didn't fix the low res-looking bloom for me, and I think another user in the perf thread, even with the options checked. Was the latest version so idk.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

I don't believe that is true. Unless you are using MSAA, which is just a bad decision in this game due to its interaction with LOD transitions. (And the MSAA performance drop is well within what is to be expected from MSAA in a deferred renderer)

The problem is that afaik MSAA in that game is just called AA, isnt it? I could play in 1440p with my 980Ti with "normal" AA on, 4k wasnt possible though.

 

[paperspace]

Apparently Divinity: Original Sin is only available on Steam and GOG. Not even GMG or Amazon is selling it.

I guess I gotta wait for that Steam sale.

 

[Jadax]

That's not true at all.

PES 2017 only sold 180k copies while NBA 2017 almost made 500k.

Are you sure? Pretty sure PES17 was top of the charts here in UK for PS4 till FIFA came out. I mean, no doubt over the years FIFA probably has PES beat handsomely, but only 180k copies?

 

[CecilRousso]

A question that might have been asked before. Give me 1/5 if old.

But why are there still no reviews for Divinity: Original Sin 2 from the major gaming sites?

 

[KainXVIII]

Truth.

Why would I buy it when I backed it?!
Though I'm not starting it before 2020.

They received the game yesterday or the day before that. Expect them next week.

PES hasn't been top of the UK charts for many, many years. I'd be surprised if it still sells more than 2 million WW

I also have one of these coupons. I have zero interest in games like this, so if anyone wants it shoot me a DM or something.

Yes, on Steam as we're originally talking about Steam games and their prices.

Actually a PES game never even reach 200k sold on Steam according to Steamspy.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

I want to play Tacoma, I got the coupon, but seriously there's just so many games. Both backlog and stuff coming out and stuff I haven't bought yet.

It's insane how many games I'm like, "that would be a huge hype train game for me any other time but right now I'll just have to forget about it"

 

[CecilRousso]

They received the game yesterday or the day before that. Expect them next week.

Thanks for the answer. I'm waiting with a purchase until I've read some.

Thought the internet would kick up a bit more fuzz about reviews being delayed like that, but I guess Larian was working on the game well up until release or something like that.

I have it and already questioning everything I'm doing in the game
