Looking decent

The only game I'm interested in for the foseeable future. I wanted a follow up to the originals that did them justice and this looks to have that on point, very atmospheric 🖤

For me personally this is the biggest game release in many years. Not been this impatient to play a game since Fallout New Vegas. They better not fuck it up 🤪

Unlocks 4pm tomorrow (Wednesday) UK time. I've heard from early receivers it runs well. I've booked the rest of the week off work lol so I hope no issues...

 

I have it pre-installed on Xbox, it's doing an update right now as it happens.

But I also have it on Steam, which is where I'll play it properly.

I'm gonna wait for reviews because I am a bit iffy with the extreme system recommendations and potential optimisation issues that could arise. I don't trust the press at all with things like this.

Well, good news that the Xbox version is fine, people are already playing it and giving the thumbs up. 

 

The PC version will possibly be an issue for me and my 1080ti but it should just mean some lowering of settings. 

 

The last game I pre-ordered was the CyberPunk debacle a few years ago but I've throw caution to the wind and got the ultimate edition on Steam (eventhough can play it free via gamepass lol)

I just went to preload the game files.  It downloads 6 mb.  bummer.

I played the first few hours on Xbox. Runs well and looks fucking great 🤗

 

But as soon as the Steam download was complete I went straight to PC.

I was cacking it a bit I must admit but I need not have worried. My 1080ti on a mix of low and ultra at 1440p is getting me 50-60 frames. No drops or lag, it's smooth and I'm so happy. 

 

Game is everything I hoped it would be so far. If I have a criticism, some of voice acting could be better : )

That is good to hear! It is on my to play list but I have a couple of big single player game son the go at the moment so suspect this may be my game over Christmas. My ROG broke recently (missus broke it grrr) so it will be on the Xbox for me. Be interesting to see how it plays on my Series S!
