So god damn it's everything I ever hoped it would be.
The lack of mouse support for specifically the book menus is weird as hell but whatever. The battle controls are pitch perfect and everything I wanted all the way back when I first played it on the PS3.
This is an amazing port and everyone should run out and buy it right goddamn now. It's everything we hoped it would be, and it looks great even if you DON'T downsample.
That is another tiny graphics quibble; although there are resolution options for 16:10, the actual game will still be 16:9 because all the assets were designed for this resolution (being a console game), and redoing all the assets for 16:10 was not on the cards.

Full Hype Tank Train Brigade rather than a single unit!
13 mins until it finishes unpacking. Not too bad. What's bad is that I have been afflicted with a terrible curse called "work" so, yeah, won't be playing this any time soon
Glad SEGA is happy with the reactions. And this is a so called "animu" game, right? Bring in the Vanquish and such and reactions are perhaps going to be even stronger. I mean, missile barrages, punching giant robots to death, dashing/boosting, etc.
Anyway, good to see this topping the charts and I hope it stays that way for a while!
Meanwhile, FFXIII got a 16mb patch, lol.

Same thing here, main menu is glacially slow with GeDoSaTo enabled, ~20 FPS to be exact

Unpacking!
I don't care if I can't play a full mission before heading off to work, I just want to see the game running on my PC!

Having some low sound issues in combat, and aiming sensitivity with a controller is nuts, it also seems to start moving in the reverse direction when slowly tilting the thumbstick. Not sure if this is a gedesato issue, the game, or ds4tool.
Oh and when downscaling part of my desktop is in the upper right corner of my second monitor, looks like it might do with the way the game fullscreens.
Getting 110-120 FPS in game downscaling from 3840x2160 though, it's pretty nice.

You are not kidding, I just finished unpacking and fired this up at 1080p and I'm getting 60fps locked, strong and continuously. Gorgeous game. Daaaaaamn, I want to play more but duty calls

Everybody loves it everybody also works, Tuesday confirmed worse release day of all time. Unless the intention is to keep the hype train going for another 8 hours whilst you work.
The title screen is the most GPU-heavy part of the game.
(Takes the "couldn't render the title screen" joke to a whole new level, doesn't it?)
Use the D-pad when you need to make small adjustments, it worked that way on PS3 as well.

The performance is great. Downsampling from 4K on my 970/3570k, locked at 60fps. It could go higher but the IQ is already ridiculous. Can't wait to really get into it, only ever played it for a few hours on PS3.
Oh, well, that sure is ... something. I disabled Vsync which seems to make it more responsive at least. I'm starting to crave a Gsync monitor now...
Edit: Off to work, will play more tonight. Alicia so far is less fan service-y than I feared, all's well in paradise (or faux Europe) right now.

Hey folks, I just sent out a petition update about the launch, with a link to the steam store page.
I think it's unlikely but I'd love to see this game hit #1

Or just use a mouse, which can make both large and small adjustments very quickly
(Seriously, I the aiming is far quicker on PC with a mouse than I remember it being on PS3)

#2 is very feasible. #1 is going to be difficult because that will involve toppling Assassin's Creed from its perch, but... maybe.
This game begged for mouse aiming. I am over the moon about how great the mouse-aim feels in this.

Sound is all kinds of messed up in combat, like it's missing a channel.

This game runs smoothly on my junky rig.
This thing really might be able to run on a toaster

The sketch borders? No, they're an integral part of the art style. The whole point is that it looks like a watercolor painting from a WW1/WW2 book.
It actually sounds like there's some kind of glitch with audio position when the camera changes position to killcam. I didn't notice audio issues in combat otherwise, but when Welks sniped his first dude, for example, I noticed it sounded like his "attacking" audio was playing as though the camera was "listening" from the position of the killcam.
I wondered why my Preload button turned to Play. Arghhh work is going to be a long day!

I messed with my audio settings and the volume is where it should be now. but the samples themselves sound super tinny, if it wasn't for the music being so clear I'd be worried that I had blown my speakers or something for how bad it sounds.

Like I say, unrealistic but a boy can dream.
Seriously, can't you just let Sega have the day for once? D:
We need about 100k more posts like this.

I would love to buy this to support the cause but I can't justify it. I haven't even played my PS3 copy :/

This thread is making me want to play through my PS3 version again. Although considering it doesn't have trophies etc. there's no real harm in picking it up on PC soon. Sounds like it should still play well on my gaming laptop with a mobile core I7 and a 7970m.

But now is the perfect time for you to get stuck in
I'm also very busy with school work at the moment so starting a 40+ hour RPG is the last thing I need lol.
The screenshots on Steam are 1080p. The ones I posted in the OP are 4k downsampled to 1080p. Search for some similar ones and compare.
The music is fantastic so far. Man this game can be brutal. took me 4 times to beat the first tank mission. it seems moving people into position to attack while the enemy moves is pretty damn crucial. i also wish there were mission checkpoints. restarting the whole mission over is a bit much. hopefully there's no bullshit missions where you have to be perfect.
