Thanks, I had to start the damn game twice before the mission appeared. Good grief, Bethesda.

I have a GTX 980 ti and an i7 @ 4.0 ghz and I get 20 FPS in the urban areas of the vanilla game, shit is ridiculous.

Not running any mods that would cause that either, I don't know how it happens. I even have god rays on medium. This game is just badly optimized.

RIP all of us I guess
Maybe a patch will remove the fog 😱

How are you measuring frame rate on PS4? Sounds pretty bad, btw. I have another Bethesda game to play atm, but I will download this and have it ready to roll when I'm done with DOOM. Hopefully they sort it out quickly.
There's 0 chance of that happening,
unless they wanted to completely rewrite the story too. It isn't just a visual thing.
It's not that badly optimized, though. Sounds like something might be wrong with your PC.
I actually had a ton of framerate problems on a 970 during F4's launch, but that was due to a bitcoin mining malware on my PC that seemingly only launched every time I tried to play F4 specifically. Took me a bit to get rid of it.

I only get this problem in the city, everywhere else is a steady 60 fps, Overwatch is always 70 and Witcher 3 is also a solid 60. I don't see how it could be my computer.
I'm going to bed, but after 2 hours of play these are my impressions:
-Atmosphere is awesome. The introduction to The Island is really well done and sets a nice tone.
-I love
There's lots of mystery surrounding everything going on and I spent about 30 minutes there on my first visit just snooping around.
-From the few main quests I've done so far, it seems that the variety of objectives, choices on how to accomplish those objectives, and overall writing have improved. It still suffers from the dialogue system, but it feels like the writing still works better than the main game in spite of it.
-The map seems MASSIVE. In my 2 hours I've only explored the northeast corner of The Island, and there's still huge blank spots all over it that I missed.
-All the Maine elements are really doing it for me. I live in Maine, so all these little references and just the overall aesthetic and feel of the DLC are awesome to see (e.g. Vim=Moxie, the Mirelurk in the giant boiling pot, the look of Far Harbor itself).
So far, I'm in love with it. Honestly, I think it got its hooks into me quicker and harder than the main game did, and I hope it keeps it up. This has the potential to be my favorite DLC ever, I think, assuming it doesn't take a nosedive at some point along the way.

I completed the quest needed for it (level 78) but it won't trigger. PS4 here.
EDIT: Never mind. Apparently, my PS4 decided not to download Far Harbor when I told it to via browser.

I wonder if Bethesda intentionally puts less energy into their base game and waits for DLC to improve on the foundation they've built. I mean, this isn't the first time their story DLCs are improvements over the main game.
Just got Fallout 4 on PC after finishing most of it on PS4. I know that you can go there at any level but is my level 10 noob on Survival going to get her shit wrecked if I go there?
This is a joke, right?

I think it's more of a situation where the team has the time and energy to work on something smaller with greater detail and not have to worry about meeting the holiday deadlines. Dark Souls II's DLC is considered a lot more focused than the main game as well and it's probably due to similar reasons.

I'm not saying they are lazy, but they definitely put more creative effort into their DLCs
Maybe Bethesda should try a smaller scaled game. It would be interesting to see the results.

where are the workbenches at the hull?
Played about almost 2 hours already and goddamn, this is better than the main game by miles. Love the atmosphere of the island and how big it is. It's really dense and dark though they go way overboard with fog at points (hurts fps because of it).
Harpoon Gun is amazing, destroys a ton of enemies and makes me use VATS a lot more than I did before because of it. Also the dialogue is better than the main game, especially love the sarcastic dialogue options.

Playing on Xbox One and haven't noticed any particular frame drops in the middle of heavy fog areas. Really smooth actually and the effects are pretty impressive. Digging it so far.
Yeah I'm just now getting into the Fog as well and I'm not experiencing anything major either.

yeesh, framerate is pretty bad on ps4, 15-20 doesn't seem off

Played a couple of hours and I definitely feel this is worth the money. The content seems extensive, the atmosphere is great and it just feels really well done so far. New monsters are cool, and the main quest line seems to be full of intrigue and mystery.
Seems like we've got another Shivering Isles on our hands.

looks like they added more perks, strong back and scrapper both got extra ranks among others
yeah I need to take a break on PS4, gonna wait for an official statement on the framerate I think before playing more. This shit makes downtown Boston look smooth

Fog/steam/smoke caused the base game to run like shit on ps4 so I'm really glad they decided to base an entire DLC around fog.
I'm still having a ton of fun

I'm having fun too but it's frustrating that they'd release it in a state where it runs worse than 3 and NV on last gen consoles. I'm hoping for something to fix it but who knows. I'm assuming the main quest clears some of it up so maybe I'll do that and the sidequests last.

I'm level 57 playing on very hard (started at 55) and it's pretty easy, most enemies are below 30. There are a few ones around 50 but not many.

Shit I forgot to start the download this morning. Now I'm gonna try to prepare my drunk ass to be able to start the download tomorrow morning without breaking my PS4. Wish me luck.

This is good to know, since I will be playing the Xbox One version. So this time around it's PS4 suffering from these issues? I hope they fix that soon for the people.
