The shuffling footstep sound effect is atrocious.

Oh definitely. I will be walking normally, or even slowly creeping along... and the footsteps sound like I'm doing this.

The footsteps shit is the absolute worst bug out of all of the glitches right now. I refuse to play another second with that god damn noise overtaking everything else in the game. Kills immersion.

Not really liking anything outside of the visuals in the first hour. The sound is just terrible and completely kills the immersion. On track for disappointment of the year if this doesn't pick up.

This game feels like it's 200% polished and 20% polished at the same time, the visual and environment design is incredible but the general experience feels unfinished.

It's the opposite of a smooth gaming experience.

Loving the game on PC so far, about 2 hours in. Seems like PC is definitely the way to play the game.

Playing on Ranger Hardcore, everything still dies in 2 hits.

It just needs some major patches. I can see all of these issues resolved in a month.

I don't understand why we have to wait, Resident Evil 2 came out last month and it was an amazingly polished experience on day one, as singleplayer games should be.
RE2 shipped with super smooth UI and game performance, extremely responsive control and game mechanics, and literally no bugs.

Why can't western developers fucking get it right? You should release the most polished version of your singleplayer game day one, not day 30 or day 60.

Hm, was thinking of getting this for XBX X, but the comments and impressions so far here is making me hold off on that. Might go with the PC version instead, but not sure if it's worth it with my current pc setup

XBX X on a 65" HDR 4K Q8 Samsung
PC on a 27" 144hz 1080p Asus, powered by I7 and GTX980

Man, those impressions :( The game is waiting for me to pick up, but I will cancel it for now and wait for the patches.

How the enemy AI? Sounds like you're loving the game, which is great. I'm really looking forward to playing this, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned about a number of comments and reviews about questionable enemy behavior.

Human AI is not great, a couple of times some of them wanted to flank me but overall it's very mediocre.

Mutants AI is better though, much better.

I'm perplexed that this was moved up from the 22nd to the 15th when it is supposedly showing a lack of polish. This time of the year is already packed and they could have moved this back a la Days Gone until late March or something. But, still waiting to play the game myself.

How the game feels like right now :

You know it's a fucking gem but it's just so goddamn raw and unbelievably unpolished at the moment.

I think I'm just gonna wait for now, this is yet another great example of western AAA developers not delivering a finished product on day one.

As much as I'm excited to play this, I always figured I would wait for a few post-launch patches before jumping in. So it looks like that's what I'm doing.

This is one of the recent AAA games where for console players it makes the most sense to wait for the enhanced next gen version (it will come, no doubt).

The game seems to be too demanding for current consoles, but I'm sure the next gen versions will be fine. They did the same with the first two Metro games. Their current gen remasters look great and run in 60fps. Inpiut lag, framerate, graphics, sound, AI, this will all be fixed by then and I think the game overall will greatly benefit from next gen console hardware.

RDR2, Spider Man, Metro, The Last of Us 2, these are the games where I'm waiting for the inevitable PS5 remasters.

The problems of this games have absolutely nothing to do with hardware power.

Kinda with you on this.

People pay full price for getting the game at day one...
Basically people who will buy the game in a couple of months are gonna pay less for a better experience.

Fuck this shit onestly.

Sounds like it was wise of me to wait on this one. Bought Far Cry New: Dawn instead, which I'm enjoying so far.

Exactly, if you wanna release a game have it running properly from day 1.

I'm really getting tired of playing unfinished games this generation

This is kind of a dumb post. What do bad sound and input lag have to do with hardware limitations? And the AI is exactly the same on PC, so your point exactly?

And Spider-Man is an incredibly polished product. It was on release date and it is now. I don't see why that game needs a remaster. We don't even know how TLoU2 performance is, so you're just guessing here.

Disappointed by the bad first impressions. Probably will get it later this time, i don't wanna support finished products anymore.

2 hours in at this point and I somehow haven't had any huge issues. I mean my fans are running about a thousand miles and hour, but for the PC I've got I'm pretty happy with the performance. Am I still just in a less buggy section of the game? Am I gonna hit a wall later on where everything kinda falls apart? Really hope not cause I'm enjoying it a lot so far

Hardware speed directly plays into input latency. There is a trade off between low input latency and higher frame rates. (Extra pipelining of the render and renderahead increase latency but can improve frame rates; higher spec hardware eliminates the need for this sacrifice)

How is the game on X?

Read the thread please or use the search option. People have posted numerous impressions.

I know, but plenty of 30fps games don't have that much inputlag that people specifically complain about it, so hardware is not the issue n this case.

I think the Atmos option makes the audio even worse to be honest.

I truly can't tell. I had to increase the sliders once I switched as it was very very low at default. It sounds better positionally, and a bit sharper in a lot of ways but at the same time soft. I really can't tell which I prefer. I was switching back and forth quite a bit earlier when I was playing.

Some games have enough overhead that the sacrifice is not needed, and most devs make more appropriate sacrifices. In this case, I suspect they know they can optimize it further and simply didn't have time. But that is the point about hardware affecting input latency.

I saw there were was a lot of criticism for the English voice acting in reviews, having started playing the game I think it might be Americans not used to eastern European accents because it just sounds like Eastern Europeans speak English.

European here so used to it. Any other Europeans think the same ?
