i"m not sure. Got home less than an hour ago, still working through the reviews.
Karak's word is bond.
Not gonna start until I'm done with DQ11 (whenever that will be) but buying this tomorrow to support Spider.

Even SkillUp isn't saying it's a bad game, just not enough content and a lot of reused assets. That's all fine with me, honestly.
i don't mind a game I'm interested in getting bad reviews, there's a couple of games I've played in the past month that have had 6's and I've still really enjoyed them *cough SolSeraph cough*
negative reviews still have some value in seeing how some people experience a game, and to see what issues they might've had
going by impressions, videos and previews alone I can tell I'm gonna really dig this game, but I do think it's worth seeing other peoples thoughts and the like

I think also its a bit telling to see some folks having got more than 5 hours of it already even in the prologue. I feel like almost all of us saw the same things but it depends on how you play. Golden pathing, versus exploring, battle versus story, bugs or no bugs.
Did you find it unnecessarily padded? Will watch your review when the harpy goes to sleep.
Padding no some lean spots yes. But we are seeing even Twitch streamers who aren't know for hanging out, getting many hours in just the prologue prior to the island itself and the island is huge with tons of quests up until the end. It has its issues and as I said it depends on how you play.
Yes. Playing it @5120x1440 myself, it's bueno and appears to be Hor+. There's also a FOV slider in the options.
I'm about 3h in and I'd say I'm 1/3 into the prologue. This is easily a 60h game for me, maybe even more if I keep playing it on hard...
This will make me go back to Control to finish it before the weekend, so then I can focus on Greedfall and savour as it deserves.
I mean it's truly a gift for fantasy and rpg fans like me...
Money is the reason why Bioware could never do a game like this again. The more money involved, the more safe and 'mass appeal' the game needs to be. There's a budget sweet spot that can provide deep roleplaying with decent production values, add any more money to this mix and you'll remove the depth.
Damn, even the starting area is so large AND dense with lots of people to interact with and quests to do. I could spend hours in here.
I took the plunge.. After their AMA, watching every trailer again. I think it's worth the full price and Spiders deserves it. I know reviews are going to have some very critical things to say.. but I hope they take it into consideration thats its not a full price game and the fact it's a AA game. I hope they mention how it fairs with regard to Technomamcer (which I really liked, more so than any other AA RPG I've played) and the score reflects that.
We live in a weird world of score justification.. and giving an "indie game" made by 100 people sometimes deserves 85% because it's indie... and 60% for a AA game because it "isn't AAA" isn't exactly fair.
Dont agree with the Dualshockers review, the game deserves a 72-75% to be honest. But 60s is honestly a joke.

I think the reviews and this thread have pushed me to pick this up sooner rather than later. Just need to clear some of the stuff that's on my plate at the moment.
Ya thats why I brought it up in the review that starting part has a TON of stuff in it. It can make you think the island is like connected to that spot its crazy. Tons of content in that way
Dynamic upscale to 4k. I compared to them alot and couldn't find a difference worth mentioning to be honest
Oddly, he's an outlier for once...ACG is a MUCH more positive review.
This confuses me, since they nearly always align...guess it is one of those gotta try it to know games :)
Aka I'm buying this tonight!
Just as I mention you, I see your post: sounds good to go on Pro for me!
Polite Enquiry: Did you find the companions as bad as Skillup Ralph did?
I'm big on companions, and banter.
He's just so thorough that I get a really good picture of what I'm getting into, which definitely helps me inform my own decision. Just watched the review. Thanks, Karak !
My 3 year old PC (i5 7600 + gtx 1060) can run it maxed at 1080p 60fps. At 1440p it's hovering at 45-ish. No stuttering whatsoever, buttersmooth.
Was this Kotaku review posted? Seems disingenuous to handwring about the story potentially not dealing with the colonial setting properly when you've only played 10 hours of the game and don't know what all the quests are building up to for the ending.
welp, looks like I'll be playing the game much sooner thanks to one of you lovely angels

enjoy
OUCH. Cause not only are they wrong they sound like they missed a couple VERY thematic elements that pop up right away.. Also ya weird to pretend something when your not done but for what they are saying you would not have had to have beat it to see a good deal of the things they apparently missed.

To be fair, it's much more easy to cock up than get right. I've had reservations from the beginning about that bit. Time will tell.
Man, I may hooked with this euro jank game. I Never knew I needed jank to finally enjoy gaming again.
I saw this posted and have mixed thoughts on it. Heather does have a point about how wanting to placate all parties can be seen as enabling. And, yea, getting "friendly" with every faction is framed as desirable through Greedfall's Reputation system -- you are explicitly rewarded for it.
But the two most 'villainous' factions of the game (Theleme and Bridge Alliance) tackle their viewpoints through their respective questlines. Maybe you play through those and still don't think it does 'enough'. That would be fair. But Looking for that condemnating shakeup and transformative action in the first quarter of the game seems to be jumping the gun, to me.
I saw someone else phrase it this way which I think is appropriate and echos my thoughts at the moment: 'there's still half a scale of measures of extremes between "glorifies" and "doesn't construct itself wholly around the condemnation of" '
