Not seen one yet but maybe you can hear them too ?

NeverWinter · 27 Mar 2018 at 11:19

You can definitely hear them, hard to pinpoint in long grass!

Seems to be a lot of exciting chatter about this game. Pity I've got about 8-10 games to get through before playing this.

Your NPC AI is thick AF. Had to rescue some hostages and it all went pearshaped thanks to my AI who decided to mess things up.

Those turkey's are evil too :eek:

If anyone wants some nice scenery take a Wingsuit off Rapier Peak. It's in the east region in the north part of that region

OMG yes! They are mental.

Some eye candy, runs lovely - best to date.

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.

Good that they have the option, this is absolutely essential these days. Game sounds really good, this looks like my next purchase, if I ever finish the Witcher.

Performance looks really good too, which is a very pleasant surprise for a PC gaming release these days. Early signs are very good.

Liking the story, enjoying the co-op, map seems smaller than previous titles though, although maybe Assassins Creed Origins spoiled me in terms of big maps

I can't quite squeeze out a rock-solid 60fps at 4k (everything on ultra/high except shadows) with my 980 Ti SLI setup. It dips down to 51 fps in parts of the benchmark which I find really jarring when I'm playing. If I lower the resolution to 1440p then it stays at 60fps no problem. Likewise, if I set the resolution at 4k but then set resolution scaling at 0.9, I get a solid 60 fps. But I don't really understand how resolution scaling works.

Am I better off playing at 1440p with all the other settings cranked up, or 4k with some of them (such as resolution scaling) turned down? TIA!

1440p Ultra preset yields a 92fps average with an RX Vega 64 and 8700K (specs in my sig) Very good showing.

Wow looks pretty nice in those screenshots!!

Swinbag · 27 Mar 2018 at 14:22

Performance seems really good which is encouraging, think I'm going to pick this up - looks absolutely nuts

One Vision · 27 Mar 2018 at 15:10

Can you play this now? Been out of gaming loop abit as been into crypto

Digital X · 27 Mar 2018 at 15:12

Yes you can.

Kainz · 27 Mar 2018 at 15:23

Human NPC AI followers are absolutely useless so I was glad when my trusty companion Evie Frye bit the dust. They get in the way too much, talk too much and generate a ton of aggro if you're in a vehicle driving to xyz. Just picked up Cheeseburger though and he's lovely as you can pet him!
