Man I am LOVING the feel of this absolutely epic and in 4k at ultra oh wow it looks awesome. I can see me sinking some serious hours into this but need to be up at 5am so sleep for me and more to come tomorrow / wednesday

How are you finding the gun play? To me this feels like Far Cry, but with a new game mixed in. It's hard to explain.

Punchy and quick pretty good. I love the setting and feel of the game so far definitely a winner

AI seems pretty good nothing more satisfying than wasting a few deranged hillbillies though

Im thinking the stats aren't showing due to VPN. Eep.

Just took this https://i.imgur.com/SHy255x.jpg Lovely screenshot if I say so myself!

My only disappointment is I have to go to sleep for work. Off Wednesday though to sink some proper time in on it

Got attacked by a brown BEAR, so ran like a clown whilst healing myself... Right into a mini cult camp. Jumped on a rock to watch the beer attack the 3 baddies there. Then a skunk came and killed the bear.

I'm running at around 30-40fps and gameplay is smooth. Don't like the hand holding at the start though involving Jess, so hopefully that's the last of it now that her mission is over.

I am a big fan of ambient sound and there doesn't seem to be much of it whilst traversing the forests. Also I've noticed quite a bit of texture pop up so far.

AMDs drivers have just been released for this.

Thanks for the heads up btw. With my gpu I really needed it!

Beautiful looking game, running well on my system on Ultra with shadows lowered/motion blur off.

One thing I will say is that there are too many patrols.

Agree. Could be just the way the initial mission to the mill is setup but getting there resulted in a few forest fires, burnt vehicles and some animal casualties. It was a lot considering I had a handgun and a few grens.

Runs a perfect 60fps lock for me at 1440p with vega 56, very nice & smooth. Just doing the first little island but have to go to work now

Enjoying it though

I definately recommend turning off all of the hud icons. Things like health, ammo, hit detection, tagging enemies etc etc. Makes this game sooo much more enjoyable.

I'm pleased they have included so many options for this, only done about an hour, so far a lot of fun - amazing in co-op

ACG complains about the AI being dumb as hell, enemy respawns are pretty irritating until you take over the zone and the fact that micro transactions basically stop you from 100% the game unless you grind like ****....

How accurate is that before I jump in at full price?

llamadal · 27 Mar 2018 at 10:30

AI isn't too bad on hard, game does throw a lot of enemies at you - but you are being hunted so....

Can't comment on the 100% completion, seems just like skins/shortcuts.

Played for around 4 hours after launch and i like it. Cant obviously run it at 4K 60 so left it at 4K 30 with everything on high and it runs really well and it even has HDR implemented which is a bonus.
