They unlocked codes for previous gen only two days ago :/ I have a feeling it's gonna run reallllyyyy bad on them.
You guys have no idea how much this is making me chuckle. So sorry for the confusion but this feels completely on par for who we're discussing lol.
Yikes, it seemed weird to me they didn't specify the resolution, now I know why.
Damn. Reminds me of Crysis. My PC is going to suffer.Some DLSS, FSR and Ray Tracing benchmarks -> https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-perfor...2-nvidia-dlss-amd-fsr-ray-tracing-benchmarks/
The game can look gorgeous with Ray Tracing in some scenes. Here is one of the best examples of how RT can improve the game's graphics.

No Ray Tracing

Great. I remember the complaints people had with the floaty parkour last year but I'm guessing they fixed it?
Yes, and gadgets like mines, grenades and stuff. Absolutely no guns.
Oh boy, that's worse than I thought.
Maybe I shouldn't have pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition....

It feels really good.
Yup, Go with Quality mode. RT is absolutely unplayable

Looks divisive. Seems a lot of the complaints are with the story and characters, and a lot of the praise is related to gameplay. Sounds a lot like the first game to me.
No guns AND you can't repair weapons anymore. Some kinda frustrating choices on that front. But, combat is still pretty fun overall.
Wait. 3 modes.
Quality- RT
Resolution- 4K
Performance- 60fps
What's your take on each?
Solid scores but far more middling than I expected. Probably a wait for sale right now.
With a lot of reviews saying the story isn't all that interesting, I wonder if they kept any of Chris Avellone's work before he was let go. His involvement was selling point back when this was announced.

Reviews crushing my hype a little here.... Maybe I should wait for a sale. I know I'm going to enjoy it, but probably don't need to play day one.
Access for those was only opened two days ago, I don't know how many people went back for these versions
Quality feels best. I think it's very close to 60 or even 60, cannot tell and plus looks very good and crispy. Performance looks blurry, washed out and 1080p or so. RT is unplayable due high lag and has screen tearing
Yeah honestly I vibe with this take hard. I wish I had more time to write my review and include these thoughts in there. I just couldn't find the words. Like the gameplay is really fun, but it is a game designed to really just waste your time in. I mention it in my video, but the bloat is a joke.
Okay, reading a few more of these reviews...I think I might just wait on a Steam sale. I was hoping this would be a good game to sink into until Elden Ring and Witch Queen later this month, but I don't just want another overly busy open world game filled with empty gaming calories. If the story and choices landed, I'd be down, but it sounds like the choices are extremely surface level.
Oh for FUCK'S sake. Okay this definitely going to sale/backlog limbo.
Ultimately, it looks like this will be a fine purchase for half price at this year's Christmas sales. If the first game is anything to go by, Techland is going to be sticking around, bashing bugs and adding content.
mfw my graphics card is considered 'low-end' 😭

Haha, That's me also right now.Oh boy, that's worse than I thought.

I'll be playing it in co-op and we account share so it's not too bad I suppose.
Absolutely agree with their quote. It's better in every single aspect.
Thanks for this. I can take 1080p res as long as it's close to 60.
RT mode has screen tearing? Ew.
