I played and streamed it last night and enjoyed the hell out of it.
I thought the cutscenes were great, the VO acting was awesome. The combat was a little clunky for me at first because it does require some tactical thought and skill, and I tend to button mash. Once I got used to it, I loved it.
My only two minor quibbles for me:
1. the load times... I will move this game to my SSD.
2. the lock picking mini game with keyboard and mouse is tough for me. I feel like it's so tough I must be missing something.
3. clothing seems to disintegrate almost overnight. By the end of doing my chores and boxing the drunkard Kunisch, my clothes looked like rags (which was also awesome). It actually reminded me of the 60 fps bug in Dark Souls 2 where equipment degraded twice as fast because of the framerate.
Speaking of boxing the drunkard, once I figured out the unarmed boxing stuff, I wanted to keep beating Kunisch but he eventually went to sleep and I never saw him wake up again. I even loved the run home to mommy cutscene to get patched up after Kucinsh pounded my ass the first fight.
Great atmosphere and great tension. It's hard to break decades of RPG habits where I walk in to NPC houses and steal anything that isn't nailed down. Walking into a private home in this game is likely to get you thrown in jail - and stealing, wow.
This game is pure incline and anyone who says different is either a troll, or a potato with a crappy machine.
That's a shame, especially as it's not a huge studio. If they patch it well I'll be picking it up if it goes below £30 at some pointWow, didn't take long at all, day 1 patch retail release on 5 finger discount sites already
Why do people test things and leave the view distance on low -.-
When you start you first fist fight for the cash? Keep landing hits until you stop and a cutscene appears.
When you coming past to get the horse they then follow you, hence leaving the miller girl chance to escape. They are the one chasing you on horse and shooting an arrow in your leg.Done that fairly easily, the guard as you've just finished the cut scene after escaping. In the end, I just legged it. Which makes it odd, as when you grab a horse, I saw the woman being attacked and did nothing as I knew I couldn't defeat them.
Yet, in a dialog later with the lady who comes to your bedroom in the night (oi oi), Henry even mentioned saving her!?
Anyone playing this on a AMD 290 gfx card. How does the card handle it?
