Got the SeetFx working... I had to download the files on the mega link, but after a bit of Googling I discovered I had to rename "dxgi.dll" to "d3d11.dll" else I got an error.

Anyway, much better with the preset - here's a before and after (it looks subtle in the screenshots, but it's very noticeable when toggled on/off in-game).

Looks much better though I wonder if you wont be crushing the blacks a bit in darker or more shadowy scenes.

And kudos for not destroying the color balance like so many seem so eager to do when they install SweetFX to a game......

Absolutely loving this game, my first play through was with a melee heavy build on hard and very near the end now. The build/weapon options are simply insane and will provide huge replay-ability as well as having coop and NG+.

After getting some nice upgrades just using a sword I can stealth into a room and annihilate everything in a few well timed special attacks. Even the mega boss fights are downed with a sword.

Next run through I must checkout the gun side more.

I play mostly with the guns I've got a charging shotgun, and use pistol and the bow and grenade launchers, it really is great almost too much with the weapons and customisation.

They could turn this into a first person diablo, they wouldn't beat blizzard but they would be a good alternative.

Unfortunately there is no NG+ only NG. The + does not do anything like increasing difficulty or challenge,

Such a nice vegetation rendering:

And some cyberpunk action:

Columbo · 16 Oct 2016 at 10:57

Agree Paul, I think it looks great and the contrast between the countryside and city is brilliant. Found the first and only bug so far that was a hole in the map, I fell straight through it.

arc@css · 16 Oct 2016 at 14:05

Those vegetation shots look excellent. :cool:

ToTheMax · 16 Oct 2016 at 17:08

Interesting tip I found, the drop level on items/gems and chance seems to depend on the difficuilty as well as the level. So if you can go play on insane dificuilty 4 player, eg I'm getting 108 level orange gems which give insane buffs.

Just finished the single player after 22 hours at lvl34 and didn't do every side mission, well worth the purchase price just for the single player imo and I haven't touched MP yet.

Also...

The weapon you get from the last mission aint to bad at all!

It's easily one of the best games I've played since Alien Isolation. Currently 12 hours in 38% progress but I am doing every side mission and also haven't done any MP.

Yeah I'm going to start again and this time do every side quest on insane instead of hard. The beast below helped me out quite a lot on some of the bigger enemies and bosses.

I only have about 7 hours played and I got notification that starting next mission is point of no return ? Does this mean I am nearing the end or am I misunderstanding something here ?

Calabi · 16 Oct 2016 at 22:54

Damn I want that gun, I wish I could trade, all I've got is a load of crappy launchers I dont want.

No it just means that any of the side quests that are outstanding won't be able to be completed, the reason is that even though they are side missions they are still tied directly into the main story. I'd advise doing them as you'll get some decent drops from some of the bosses on the levels.

Westie · 16 Oct 2016 at 23:30

whats best sweetfx to use for this? gonna be on an x34 + 1080!

Ok I already did all them. So how far am I from the end ?

If thats the first point of no return message then quite a way. It took me 22hrs and I didnt do all of the side quests but do waste quite a bit of time looking of stuff and secrets!
