Something about this GIF got me more excited for this game than any of the other gameplay I've seen
I am very, very much looking forward to being able to chat about this! Unfortunately my review just isn't going to be ready for the embargo lift, as much as I wish it was. We were only sent code pretty late last week so I still need a few more days with it.
When are the reviews? Can't seem them mentioned in the OP but I'm probably being blind.
Really liking the game so far after 7 hours on a base PS4. Looks and runs quite well. Can't decide for a build, though. Reminds me of KOTOR and Risen (1), it's great.
Also great topic and title, fantastic work.
Midnight tonight Paris time
To those playing, how have the dialogue options/quest choices been? Black and white "be a saint vs a jerk", or more gray and subtle, more personality-defining a la Planescape Torment (ie being able to lie, or choose the tone of a response)
Hope it reviews well, looks like Spiders put a lot of work on this title, hopefully it gets rewarded.
Bioware jank has been hurting them a lot more than usual lately (insert Andromeda memes here). If anything, I'd say Bethesda games are the ones that get the biggest pass for their nearly non-stop "it's not a glitch, it's a feature!" jankiness.Tbh it doesnt look any jankier than a bioware game for example.
Great to read this.The game really isn't janky at all. It's quite polished and combat feels good after you get the shadow dodge/roll talents.
Hah, indeed. Looks like it's been around a long time before the hate movement erected.
I think the brightness setting is broken on X? Doesn't do anything when it is adjusted
Any word on console performance from early copies? specifically PS4 base
Mighty tempted, but upcoming guess reviews might have some indication on how well it runs
As far as I know we're waiting on the US side to report back, so nothing as of yet.
At the risk of upsetting French forum members, this shares the same look I have come to identify with other recent French games - Vampyr, The Council, A Plague Tale come to mind immediately (all of which I really enjoyed). There is something about the aesthetic, and I guess sharing a common musical genius also helps. Nothing as exaggerated as The Council and with voice acting 1000% better than that, but all the same there is something which ties them together (maybe it's only an effort to root the game in a particular historical milieu and to have realistic rather than "shiny" characters).
