It wasn't such a big problem in the base game, when there were only ten or so different types of mods. The DLC's added so many more, however, that it's just silly. I've stopped caring at this point.

I was wondering the same thing, but I don't have high hopes. On the contrary, I would gladly play the game all over again on Steam after finishing AWE on Epic.
Weird question- but does anyone know if the trophy for killing 100 enemies with shield rush applies to enemies outside of the Foundation content?
I put off doing that trophy until AWE arrives but I'm not sure if it counts.

So, does the Aerobics mod actually do something? It says "+10 health on evade", but nothing happens.
It does work, but there's some issues with it including the DLC being inaccessible, I think? Saw someone say Remedy were working on a fix.
I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but what is with the constant stream of low level mods dropping? I'm at endgame, playing through the AWE DLC, and the game is still giving me useless level 3 and 4 drops instead of level 6 (or higher, if they exist). Are these high level mods reserved only for crafting and expeditions?
Yeah, I had the same issue. Recycled 99% of the dropped mods, though there are some really good unique ones you can get in the AWE side quests.
Damn, that's a real bummer. Was hoping the updates that came out alongside the DLCs would address this half-baked system.
The inventory and mod system is easily the worst part of the game. Loot in general: I've beaten the main game and done every sidequest, still don't have Charge or the final Spin upgrade.
Yeah, I'm missing the final upgrade on one of my weapons too. No idea where to find the mat. I could look it up on a wiki or something but just seems so unnecessary.
Mod systems that add X amount percentage to this and that are just so boring. Despite all this, I'm looking forward to starting a new game soon. Wish there was a save file selection, but that's a whole other issue :)
Haven't loaded this up in awhile (due to TLOU2 and GOT) but need to soon to play the dlc. So I might be misremembering but when you look at your materials there is some text with a number and location name. This should let you know where to farm to grab certain mats.
Followed it up and there should be something like this, via reddit,
"For example Astral Blip is CAT(2)-19275:RESEARCH. This means it drops in research and my suspicion is CAT(2) means it drops from killed enemies.
CAT1 is basic enemies, CAT2 is from both named enemies and item boxes, and the area in the name does seem to be directly connected to that sector. "

So if you want to avoid looking up a guide, try that?
Just now got Foundation in the bag. More excellent Control content, what can I say? Question about the ending though.
And I have to say thank goodness for the accessibility options. A certain post main game boss was pissing me off just a bit too much so he got the invulnerable option turned on.
Good riddance, hello skill points.
Was the game supposed to just fade away when you approach Former? I feel like I bumped the controller and accidentally skipped something.

Stupid Tommasi and the stupid invisible asshole that spawns into the stupid fight half way through.

Still very early in the game, but I am completely captivated the the plot so far. Can't wait to play more and find out exactly what's going in. Really loving the mystery here.
Such a bizarre world remedy had built, and it certainly feel like a Remedy game.

Thought that was such a cool touch.

Jesse as the new director haha!
Yup, it fades as soon as you see those creepy tentacles among the columns. At least you got to talk to it earlier about sandwiches!
Has anyone extensively tried out the new Surge weapon? Is it worth investing in? I've mostly been using the Pierce and standard Grip
I tried it but didn't see any real reason to switch away from Pierce for 90% of my shooting. Pierce loaded out with damage mods can annihilate pretty much anything (and there's a unique mod you can get in AWE that basically eliminated the charge up time).
Surge is really powerful, I used it all the way through the DLC
Shit, I need to find that mod. I heavily rely on Pierce but it's tough to use against the teleporting melee guys who run at you
I've got the Charge one that increased the projectile travel speed, but I don't have Charge. :lol
Just completed the base game and...it felt very short? I've been playing in small parts for around 6 months but I completed the final level without much in the way of upgrades or doing any side mission stuff, so it felt very hollow. I really was expecting a final boss fight at the end there with
but it just gives you super powers and then ends? So underwhelming.
I did buy the edition with all the DLC back when it was on sale though so hoping for something a little more interesting with those.

So, here's a dumb question... how do I access the AWE DLC? I already downloaded the latest update and completed the main game and the foundation...
go back to central executive and then go to the elevator.
Didn't thought about going there since I read that it popped up inmediately o ce you started playing lol
Thanks!!
EDIT: So I went to the elevator and even use it but nothing happened... I'm lost
Should I delete the game and install it again and download the DLC?

I probably would've done that, but my Pierce is still bugged so that I can't equip 3 mods on it.
When I loaded the game after buying AWE, I got a new mission called "A Dark Place" or something like that. Maybe you need it to be active when activating the elevator? Also, you need to have finished the main game.
I had to delete the game and install it again and then download the dlc, after all that the mission popped up right away.
Thanks for the reply!
On PS4 I had to restore licenses, you probably could have gotten away with just verifying the files if you were on PC but I don't think you actually had to redownload the whole thing.
Adding the dlc via the store and signing off and on on the account did the trick for me on release.
So I'm playing the game on my Xbox with the standard edition but thinking of buying the ultimate edition for the DLC/next gen upgrade. Will my mid-game save come over if I buy the UE or will it make me start over?
Just forget the DLC for now. If you want to play it, better to wait to play it in the next gen version.
I'm not sure if there are any time limits around the free next gen upgrade via the Ultimate Edition, so better to wait until the next gen version actually comes out. At that point the UE will probably be cheaper, so you can just buy it then.
Ultimate Edition is already out, and it costs $40 to the base game's $60. That's like half of what people are mad about, since the base game and season pass are still available for purchase even though the Ultimate Edition has the exact same content for cheaper.
I've started playing the DLC's this weekend and while it has reminded me of what an amazing game Control is, i feel frustrated about the end game combat even more than before. Early in the game i feel that your launch-attack and weapons works really well complementary to each other. In the late game however i feel that your weapons at most do some chip damage to enemies, which creates a combat loop of you just having to spam launch attacks over and over. It's frustrating because it makes it unnecessarily repetitive and when you meet enemies that hoover and dodge your launch attacks it just feels dumb to keep launching things and wait for them to miss a dodge. But not even a fully upgraded Grip with damage perks deal enough damage to be worth the time to use.
On top of this the glass cannon-balance of Jesse is as annoying as ever. You're never more than two seconds from dying and it takes away enjoyment of the fights. What's wierd about this is even though the game is not hard and i've not died more than maybe 2 times a few hours in to the expansions.. i still feel this balance takes away a lot of the fun of the battles.

Hopefully the Ultimate goes on sale soon. I picked into the limited edition for $10, so the upgrade at a low price would be extra nice.
They should still do a digital upgrade, some how.

I'm looking for something to play to keep me occupied up to the launch of the new consoles. I was planning on picking up the Ultimate Edition for the next gen upgrade at launch, however that's not due until 2021 now.
Did they ever improve performance on the One X version of the game? The Digital Foundry footage from around launch didn't look great.

Wait till Control hits the bargain bin. Maybe check out Ghost of Tsushima if you haven't already, the SP is phenomenal and the free co-op mode they just added (Legends) is great too.
I'm looking for Xbox stuff really, got a bunch of credit to use and have had my eye on Control for a while. I think Ghost will kill my already dying launch PS4 at this stage.

It'll run at 60fps on the PS5, so not a bad investment in the lead up to the launch of the new consoles.
Been playing on PC with the new RTX3080 and this game is gorgeous. I only have the base edition so I'm hoping DLC sales eventually happen. About 10 hours in
Can you provide citation? I was looking all around the web yesterday and today to see what next-gen enhancements Contol gets and came up with zero informaiton.
Damn, I was hoping some information finally got out there. It's a bit odd that 505 Games was one of the first to announce next-gen upgrades for a title, yet here we are, 2 weeks away from the launch of one, and we still don't have any information.
an update added a barrier to the ceiling of the area in order to stop that exploit lol
