I'm gonna guess the latter.
Why is it bullshit!?
I'm more excited about the hair tech than a lot of the game! It'll redefine hair movement/physics in-game! Sure, it'll be a huge performance hit but it'll be swaying!

Unlimited Capacity
Don't know, I didn't play on Normal. I do know that the difficulty only augments combat as the option is actually called combat difficulty. The AI wasn't bad, though. It might have been worse that it seems though because they mix in the melee guys with the range guys pretty well.
The tombs aren't anything involved. They do a good job in being the calm moments, though.

Yeah stuff like that doesn't seem possible to disable. I'm hoping the other
4 tombs
Yeah I'm playing on hard as well. I'd say it only effects difficulty of enemies and your health damage. I can't see it changing anything with the minor puzzles.
Sorry, I use the term "bullshit" and most profanity very casually. Here I was just merely using it as a synonym for "thing".
I'm actually very excited for it.
Is there a video showing the tech yet? I hope it's not one of those things that looks great in screenshots, but not so great in motion.

I can't remember if I expressed it here (I definitely did on GameFAQs), but that's exactly how I feel.
Definitely.
And a total "ewww!" @ the Riddler trophies. There were so fricking many! lol But more importantly, I didn't get a single ounce of fun out of solving the "puzzles" to get them. Many of them were frustrating as heck to do.
hard to believe it will be a huge performance hit considering it will be only rendering the main character hair, maybe a huge hit on cutscenes?

I don't play games that don't mimic loriel commercials.

Is the game out? Maybe mom-and-pop video game stores?
And what's this report of the game being less than 10 hrs long?

Because if she don't look good, you don't look good
Nixxes confirmed during a Q&A that it's by far the most demanding effect in the game. I'm not sure it will destroy my GTX670 but the performance hit will be there.
Being perfectly fine with 30fps it's not a problem.
Not yet, AMD is probably bound by the same NDA as gaming outlets regarding the PC version.
Not the SAME relic map, but your prize for doing a "secret" tomb is a relic map for the area the tomb is in.
Ah, awesome! We're on the same page!
Psycho killers require a proper hair sway! I want to see her hair shake with the same fury as those shotgun shells as they hit an enemy's body!
Report? I'm pretty sure it's just one person on GAF who has said that.
Wait, there are only that many tombs in the game? WOW.
I'll make sure to get a 1920x1080 60fps ultra-quality GIF just for you.
It will be like 8 gigabytes.
i have a 580 and i much prefer the 60 frames than the pretty hair, still i find hard to believe this will be so heavy on frames, i mean i was able to run batman AC with physics on high and everything else on max and i did had the occasional dip here and there but it was a constant 60 most of the time, one can hope

All of this hair tech talk, is it PC or all versions? Alice was fantastic.

So it's actually the 10-12 hours mentioned in the reviews?
10 hours on hard is just....ugh. I'm going to be sick.
awesome. you da man.
PC exclusive.
But next-gen console and PC games should feature realistic hair anyway, it's just part of the technological roadmap.
So good, can't wait for the embargo to be lifted.

For those who have played a good deal of the game or better, those who have finished it. Do you see yourself replaying this game ever?
Well, as I've said, I've seen up to the part you are at, and only 3 areas up to that point felt tomb-ish, but after a short, fairly simple puzzle in each case the game always devolved back into a scripted action event or shooting gallery. That's why I said the ratio of required puzzles to scripted stuff and combat was like 1:20.
And now it turns out there are hardly any optional puzzles, as well.
A big part of platforming games is solving how to get from A to B and timing jumps, right?
Collectibles can end up as B. While most of the collectibles in Infamous were badly done, a couple of them in Arkham ever included a decent sense of timing or some application of Batman's various gadgets.
edit: Beaten worse than the scavengers.
Yes, I'd love an answer to this question.
Sheesh. Not highlighting that Tomb count spoiler, but this is disappointing. Haven't seen much video, and definitely nothing regarding the tombs.
I think they are waiting for greenlight concerning Tress FX/ playing it on the PC.
Because the PC version was not sent out as review code, which obviously sucks.
RPS hasn't either. PC places weren't able to get a copy until recently so their reviews are going to be delayed.
Maybe SE knew they'd be the only places that would actually criticize the game.

I replay games on and off. Personally I already want to restart the game and pretty sure I'm picking the pc version up myself. So yes. I want to replay it and intend to do so. The atmosphere and setting I think being my favorite parts so far. With everything else just being so damn enjoyable for me. Granted March is a HUGE month so might have to wait to replay after it slows down.
Granted some will be sorely turned off by this, honestly it hasn't bothered me. Plain and simple. Milage will vary with everyone.
lol, cmon.

Not really. Someone said that the part i am at is around 3/4 of the game. So i can say the first 1/4 of the game is awesome but the rest, i don't know. Especially the last one or two hours just passed by combat. No exploration or anything at all except for one simple puzzle. I am starting to think that i got overexcited for this game. At first it was like 9/10 or so for the first one or two hours, then it all became a decent third person shooter.

PC review codes are hitting on Friday, from what I hear.
