Bought this in the sale. Can't be that bad.

It looks pretty at least.

It's certainly better if you got it in a sale

I'm still tempted to give it another shot, have the bugs been fleshed out and performance increased?

It's better than it was at release, but I'd still expect to experience a few bugs. I've not noticed any difference in performance though as its always ran well for me. The fundamentals (VO, facial animation and story) are still poor though imo.

Worth £22? As for performance, it wasn't great on my 980ti running at 1440p...

£15.74 if you have origin access.

£17.49 for the standard edition without origin access. Not too bad.

Anyone know how long this sale will last?

CaptainRAVE · 17 Aug 2017 at 18:30

Enjoyed the first couple of hours. More than prey actually - just more my sort of game I guess. May well pick this up.

Tek81 · 17 Aug 2017 at 18:34

£17.49 is a decent price. It's worth that much. Only wish I'd paid that.

Ok, it's good so far! Got to the Nexus, the director is an arse, moody bitch! Anyway, question before I continue, I can see in my inventory that I've got a bunch of items, but I've no idea how to equip different stuff?

At least her face isn't tired anymore.

Do all the female characters still look like Potatoes with hair?

Pretty much. Aside from the Asari, who look like blue potatoes with hair.

Also all the asari are the same potato.

I know they fixed her face but did they remove that dumb line?

I honestly think the animations look a LOT better than they were when the game came out.

That's a bit like saying 'at least you only got run over by a Volvo estate rather than a 60 ton main battle tank'.

But in all seriousness, they have made some decent improvements to animations and voice acting, even if its by simply removing some of the worst offenders. The cut scenes work better and it has made a positive difference to the overall experience.

The overall game is still average and I doubt there's anything they can do to fix that. Can't really recommend buying it even at £15 as I don't believe they deserve a penny more for how they treated one of my favourite IPs.

The mistake they made was making it in the first place. I thought the idea was the 3rd was the final installment.

Cash grab. As a business that large, why would you turn away millions of pounds?

Has the DLC for this been officially scrapped then?
