This game is easily my GOTY so far. Beat the game yesterday and I absolutely adore everything about it and actually thought it was pretty fair in its execution. Sometimes encounters are hard, but using your abilities wisely always proves to be executable so to say. Nothing impossible, but sometimes quite hard, like the tower boss enemy.
My playthrough took around 6,5 hours according to steam. If you're playing on PC I highly recommend using keyboard and mouse. Much easier to be precise
When I first started, I was so frustrated. After about 30 minutes, I stopped. Then I was watching some people play, which inspired me to hop back in. It took like an hour or two, but now using the triggers feels like second-nature (until I try playing another game LOL), and I'm getting through levels without dying and going for better times. Also even more fun to play the earlier levels once you're powered up. :) It's great fun, but there is a bit of a barrier to entry. Thankfully dying and restarting is instantaneous.
Yes! Going for better times is one of my goals too. Out of my Steam friends list I hold the best time for most levels. Gotta be number 1 in all of them xD.
Finished it just a minute ago. Loved it! Even the difficult platforming parts that I died a ton I just pushed through. It's so good.
I actually thought it was awesome. I practiced (by dying) enough to the point where I could do the entire first phase without stopping movement and it felt really smooth.
It gets a lot harder. You won't regret buying it if thats you primary concern. Games awesome and very challenging at some points.
The demo is just the tutorial. The game slowly introduces about 8 different enemy types and more mechanics that make it tougher.
1X version runs great! Looks like mostly 60fps to me and what looks like 1440p (not 4K native, but UI looks like it is). Not sure about kb/m support. There is a mild graphical bug where once in a while the game starts with a green/yellow tint to the screen, but it's remedied with a restart/reload.
im fine with 1440p60! Was gonna get it on PC but now I can get the big screen experience. Thanks.
505 posted on the 28th that they're aware of the PS4 Pro issues still existing and are working on another update. Hopefully this week... it'd keep my mind off the election a little bit if it happens before then. LOL
It's a bug, I thought they fixed it with the patch but for me I fixed it using this fix:
Mouse Clicks Response intermittent :: Ghostrunner General Discussions
I'm having an issue with the game registering my mouse clicks, in particular on level 3 when you have to use the grapple hook continuously to climb the tower, the first couple of hooks work fine, but after that I'm clicking repeatedly and the grapple hook doesn't work and I fall to my doom. Yes...steamcommunity.com
It was super annoying playing the game before I searched the forum to find others were having the issue. Especially in a game with one hit kills.
Yeah, image maybe looks a little softer, but man, what a huge difference from launch day. Great to see them so quickly getting the game updated!
It only saves upon level completion. When you get one of those screens that tells your time and death count.
Has to be one of the most baffling design decisions in a while. I almost figured it was a mistake and expected a patch to quickly change it, but so far nope. What's the point? It's needlessly frustrating to folks who can't dedicated 45 minutes to a single play session, and doesn't appear to have any impact on leaderboards or whatever. Would love to know the reason behind this very weird checkpoint system.
Unfortunately I forgot to update, no ultra performance mode that I can see. But there is performance, balance and quality which is an indication of dlss 2.0 at the very least which is still great. Ultra performance is for 8k, don't use it if you are running in 4k or lower, base res is 1/9 of native resolution which is way too low.
Yup. Had to play with it off. I went from like a consistent 144 with RTX off to around 50-60 w/ it on, with it going to 15-20 at the worst. Couldn't deal with it. This was on a 3080.
