Vampyr |OT| Drink Responsibly

The worst I got on XOX was some very brief micro-stutter after a lot of sprinting and a big teleport, but the game never stopped dead in its tracks to load, I wonder if it's the same on Pro or is it just older models.
It's not that uncommon on the base PS4 tbh, I had the same thing a few times in AC Origins when I was travelling on a horse too fast and the game couldn't catch up.
15-30 hours depending on your playstyle and completion. The game has 4 different paths/endings on top of that.
Yeah I had a bit of that too. I'm guessing the buildings you enter load times are improved on the Pro and X as well.
Enjoying it so far. It's surprised me with how well it plays. I'm going for not feeding on civilians so I'm not upgraded much and the combat feels good.
Not knowing how to water the plant in his room in the hospital will keep bugging me though!
Great OT! Glad to hear these positive impressions. I can deal with some lack of polish, especially if the characters and story are interesting, and it sounds like they are. I'm most curious as to how extensive the narrative branching is, and how hard it'll be to do a full pacifist playthrough. I'll probably eat a few people in my first playthrough though.
so, i found out how to heal people, which is not explained in the game anywhere, i was wondering what i was missing but here you go:
when you open the conversation window, push R2 and THEN R1...that isn´t even prompted on screen which is a glaring omission, because on the mesmerise side it says "L2, then L1" but on the heal side its only R2 and then nothing which indicates how you really heal .-)
so i could heal people only now in Chapter 3...should be patched to give the R1 prompt on screen because i think many people will be confused as i was

I'd say so. Some of the hospital staff aren't exactly squeaky clean either.
I love this. Can't wait to get my teeth into this game. Pun intended.
I'm glad to hear the positive impressions. I've been very intrigued by this game ever since they announced it and have had the itch for a good/great vampire RPG for quite some time. It's looking like Vampyr might just fill that need.
It has X support. It is in that category, with pressing LT, RT, Start, Select on the games icon you see it has Yes on X support and it CLEARLY has super sampling which means higher resolution because the IQ is perfect. No shimmering at all.
Even on the Xbox One/X box it say's that it has Xbox One X support. It's probably the same for PS4 Pro.
Edit:
PS4 Pro support also confirmed:
The early impressions sound good. I can handle some gameplay jank as long as the story and characters are done well enough.
I'm a bit surprised that the health bar designs made it all the way to the release version looking like that though. Maybe it's a silly nitpick but yeah, they look bad.

That's part of why I find the game so intriguing. It turns the dynamic of "player as helpful avatar helping NPCs and doing quests for them" on its head by making you not a benevolent main character but a predator among prey, where helping people might just be you fattening them up for the slaughter. It's also quite clever as a morality system as it means that you have interact with and learn about the character you want to eventually kill.

Making feeding tied to XP seems smart too because it places that classic "vampire with morals struggles to not feed" struggle on the player, replacing the alluring call for blood with the mechanics-driven desire for XP, that nice meaty chunk of XP just teasing you ever time you interact with a character.
At least that's the sense I got from the dev stream footage
Oh damn, really? I thought CDKeys came with preorder bonuses.
Well not for this game. It's usually written on their site when pre-order bonuses are available.
Seen a few comments about jank but if you're not into interesting jank, I wonder why one would be interested in this at all given its close spiritual relationship to VTM Bloodlines.
The art style of this game is so damn good, so atmospheric and immersive.

I'm guessing this get around 78 meta score. Lots of questions surrounding gameplay for me. Im waiting a week before I dive in.
Hopefully my key won't be too late this time. Had an issue with The Council buying it on Nuuvem, and I never had a problem with keys from any other publishers.
Really excited for this, I got kind of sick last week, so I was worried I wouldn't be able to finish Forgotton Anne in time, but I think I'm nearing the end and will finish it today. Great game, btw, sad to see it going under the radar.

Waiting for the reviews on this one, as some of the previews were not so great but really hope it's
I'm not expecting it to be the best game ever but as long as it turns out to be a half decent AA game and it's not a broken mess, I'll definitely pick this up.

You wake up as one and have flashbacks, even criminals have a role in the district and killing them might help destabilize it.
