PC is probably safer bet if you care a lot about performance
I was just thinking how much it reminds me of Prey. Except for the whole supernatural twist, the premise is very similar, even the things you do in both games, plot-wise.
No.
Nope. I think the base difficulty is pretty challenging though. You can lessen the effect through gear, upgrades, skills, etc. to adjust things how you'd like.
This just sold me on the game. I loved prey. Didn't realize this was also sort of metroidvania based. Good.yeah, I felt the same!
Putting into very basic terms, in both you are the boss of this strange Metroidvania setting where the staff has been possessed by some higher power, and you are trying to get all the systems of the place in order, navigating through interconnected area. And the atmosphere is kinda similar too
Of course, they are also VERY different, but in the first few hours I'm loving Control for similar reasons of why I loved the beginning of Prey as well

This game is basically like a mix of Alan wake, Batman Arkham asylum, and prey
This happened to me earlier but I exited and checked the game page and went back to library and it had the install option randomlySorry if this has been answered (I checked a few pages and didn't see it), but is there any particular reason it would say unavailable on the EGS launcher when I go to my library? When I look at it in the store it shows owned.

I'm about 5 hours in, and while it is definitely a Metroidvania, I must say it doesn't feel as interconnected or as well designed as Prey (but I don't think any other 3D Metroidvania is)
Not as much room for improvisation on approaching scenarios too, but It's not really what is going for either. Maybe an even better comparison to the design is Arkham Asylum, Metroidvania, but a little contained
Goddammit.. The performance on my base ps4 is really ruining my enjoyment of this game
WHEWEEEEE. Probably be my GOTY if it lives up to that hype. Holy Christ.
Weird, I tried that a couple times and it didn't work, but I guess I'll keep trying.This happened to me earlier but I exited and checked the game page and went back to library and it had the install option randomly

Can they patch the map, FFS?
Amazing damn game, but who got away with this abysmal, dev-forsaken map?
Question first hour into it, does the gunplay get any better so far it's pretty boring. Also does this game start to make more sense as it goes on I'm so confused

Anyone know where I can get different outfits? Currently at the Research Lab area, around 4-5 hours into the game.
no clue. preordering the ps4 edition gives you two other costumes right off the bat.
It's really weird you popout of crouch the moment you shoot but don't crouch down automatically.

So about going to places you're not supposed to yet. I went down the hole/shaft that Alex died in during the Giant Bomb QL.
I encountered weird mold people that almost killed me in one shot. I guess I'm supposed to come back later? I'm in the Research level, but I can access a bunch of other places as well. Is it worth going there now, or should I wait for the main quest?
yeah you can change outfits at control points, i think he's just talking about how he's played for a few hours but hasn't unlocked any.I think I read earlier that it's at Control points. (whatever those are, I just started)
Thanks for the reply. Damn. Can't believe I'm gonna pass on this game but I only have a base PS4. Astral Chain it is.Alex Navarro of Giant Bomb said that Remedy told him that there aren't going to be any immediate performance patches.

Woah woah woah woah they're going with the Old Gods of Asgard name for their Control music?
That's kind of major, isn't it? This puts it in the Alan Wake universe for sure, beyond the realm of "this could just be an easter egg".
Yeah, I rarely ever use L2 to aim in this. :) Not yet, anyway!For me it got a lot more satisfying once I realized you're pretty free to run and gun and don't actually have to use the over-the-shoulder aiming very often.
