It really is a shame that the PC version is a disaster for so many people. As a fan of shows like Fringe where crazy & weird stuff happens I am enjoying the plot, the time effects look incredible and I am liking the TV stuff more than expected (even though its very corny and some bad acting/script)
Also as someone who loves super power games like Infamous Second Son, I think the gameplay is superb. Its bizarre to me how people can rate this 4/10.

Please read the bottom line again.

I really like that after you make a decision the game informs you what percentage of the community picked the same one as you. The one I just picked was 54% of the community picked the same one as myself. That's closer than I thought it would be.

I really like it when developers put small extra touches in their games. In QB lockers close when you walk into them and now in this
, all these chairs can be folded down, if I am wording that right. In many games these small things would be static, but Remedy went the extra mile for the small details.
20 hours is great. And yeah, same man, I explore every inch as well. But even then I still have missed some items. How accurate is the info on Time Played on Xbox One games hub pages? Mine says 8 hours and 49m. Like you I had some idle time as well. But what I wonder is, if I keep the game on and I go to Netflix, does that add to the play time? Or if I pause the game?
Also... does it count the TV show with it?

I think if Remedy had the budget of TV shows, even the lesser ones, it would've looked a lot better for sure. But knowing the limitations they have, the medium, I think aside of certain parts on the show overall it feels engaging. So I just watched the 1st episode and:
even though Shawns character wasn't there to be seen, the other dude carried it. I thought he did a wonderful job. Let me look up his name. Wow I can't find the dudes name. Oh found it...Patrick Heusinger. Dude was terrific. Could've easily been the lead character.

So started my 2nd playthrough and this time choose hardline on the first junction. Man the changes to the first episode are interesting as hell. I'm so playing so many times just to get every possible variation of the episodes. lol
Nah. Just because I like this gif so much.
Just amazing hahaha
That includes, idle, show, falling asleep and a few bathroom breaks. I'll assume 5 hours..so 15?
Gotcha gotcha. Intended for a family member who never played. Mea culpa.

The aiming reticle in this game is incredibly hard to see at times. Pretty sure with past Remedy games that they had multiple reticle options, wish it were so with this one as well.

Holy shit I have never seen that "How to make the Max Payne face" gif before, amazing!
Thanks to the OT OP!

Finished the game. Enjoyed the hell out of the game, Remedy youve done It again! Enjoyed the story, although were not as strong as Max and Alan. The TV show stuff I surprisingly dug for the most part, I was never expecting some HBO big budget show, so expectation were met. Gunplay is fucking extremely satisfying, wish there was more enemy variety and guns to shake things up a bit. One of my favorite games this generation. (Although I could count the others on one hand.) Hope your next game does not take 10 years Remedy. 13 hours 28 min on Hard. Took my sweet ass time just soaking up everything that they put in the game.
Stutters and VFX were always blowing me away, spent lots of time walking around in them.

I hope I'm never in a situation where I'm being stared down by Shawn Ashmore.
Wow at the jaw muscles as he clenches his teeth!! and the overall muscle structure in the face look amazing.

I the same feeling just watching the previews. So I started hard on my first playthrough, and I can say it offers a fair challenge.
The last fight is terrible, ticks all the bad points about how a last fight should be which a lot of games end up doing because of the need for it to be "Epic"
Bad checkpoint system, wave after waves of enemies, way too overboard on the vfx meaning it's hard to see shit, some insta deaths etc.

Especially strange considering how long these reads are, they are often news article length.

Gotta say that the flow and presentation of the story setup in Act 1 was pretty rough around the edges. Dude goes from hapless lab assistant to cold-blooded killer in less than a second!
Combat seems fun; we'll see...

I need to ask again, does anybody know, why you can see many lights through walls and your character? Seems a little strange to mee.
Uh you probably should go through that bit again if that's what you think happened. You are missing the obvious here..so obvious that you had to be not looking at the screen to miss it.
Could you explain this any further ?
It's probably a case of low accuracy lighting at a distance or sometimes the game can get confused regarding whether you should be lit by the sunlight or the interior light whether if you are too close to a wall inside a building.

For those of you who have the physical copy on the One, do you still have to download 75 gigs for the cinematics? How does that work if you have the physical game?

Anyone got the PC code yet with their dogeared preorders? I'm still waiting for mine before I play
You missed some things then...heheh.
Your character definitely isn't a clean nosed lab assistant and he knows how to use a gun.

Nothing here either.
no.....its optional for digital and physical....when it gets to that portion it streams it like netflix would stream to your console....you can pause, rewind, fast forward, skip and even turn subs on and off
Alpha Phoenix
Member
I see, thanks. How can you opt to download them, though? I assume there is an option to do so in-game?
The last fight was insanely annoying the first time just due to all the insta-death shit and the checkpoint/loading setup takes way too long. Took me six or seven times at least on hard.
I then had to beat it a second time to get the Hard trophy. Took me 5 minutes in one try. :/

yes, it should be in the main menu when you start up the game......saw some people mentioning it earlier. I have digital so I do mine through the store but physical does the download option in the main menu when you launch the game.

Yeah, either in game, or just by checking your install from My Games and Apps (you'll automatically own the episodes).
I'm not really sure he missed too many things, much of Jack's backstory only gets further explained a little bit later in optional mails, documents etc. But yeah, point stands - Jack knows what he is doing

Up to the third act, really enjoying it

Hmm, you may be right with the bigger details of his past. I'm only in act 2 and know a lot now..haha.
Be patient players. All will be revealed (waves hand in air).

I find the combat here to be more interesting and fun than some superhero games like Infamous cause all of the abilities don't feel like slight variations of each other, each has use with certain enemies, and in combat scenarios it's rewarding to chain them dynamically based on enemy placement that's constantly moving thanks to pretty good AI. As you can't stay in cover for more than five seconds, you've got to think on your feet quickly on what abilities will be beneficial with which enemies. While I find combat in superhero games to be a snooze as you can feel overpowered with weak enemy AI so there's less incentive to be creative. At least from what I've played on hard difficulty.
I place this game along with games like Bulletstorm, Vanquish, and Superhot in that being creative is rewarded more than just playing it as a straight shooter.

Trying not to spoil myself on the game at all but I have a quick question:
I really loathed the unskippable cutscene fests in Max Payne 3, does this game have a similarly off gameplay to cinematics ratio? I couldn't sit through more than an hour of Max Payne 3 despite being a massive fan of the first two since I felt that it essentially provided about 20% gameplay 80% cutscenes I couldn't skip and didn't give a shit about.
Gameplay here looks awesome but I don't want it to be drip-fed to me in 20 second increments.

The visuals in this...
Just..... amazing

They also show you where they are when you use time vision via the pinging graphic. I had a hard time figuring out where they were too but once I realized what it was showing it became really easy.
Never played Max Payne, but when there are cutscenes they are usually quite quick in terms of taking away control and giving it right back. The live-action episodes are, of course, TV you're watching instead of playing.

That was infuriating. Here, there's a very positive gameplay-to-cinematics ratio and very little unskippable cutscenes, that I actually find myself anticipating to relax watching the TV show episodes after hours of playing. It also helps I care about the story and want to know more about the characters in this game versus MP3.

Yeah you should still be eligible for the PC version and Alan Wake for 360... You won't get the PC and AW code till sometime later this week or next week
So be patient
