You know. Leather.
For those of you on older PCs that were scared off by the requirements, seems like it's not such a big deal.

Obviously pinch of salt with it being a) RPS and b) very small sample size.

The AMD equivalent of DLSS seems to make a big difference for performance too.

Steam let me install the game, I had a Play button, but it still says I can't play it until the US release. This is stupid.

I wanted to upgrade my CPU before this game came out but unfortunately it didn't work out. Me and my R1600x are in this for a bit longer it seems.

The tepid reception for Prey demands a lot of recompense

Agreed, especially because a lot of the early reviews were soured by technical issues. Luckily that doesn't seem like a problem here.

You bring up Fallout 3 and 4 as examples earlier, and that was before the Microsoft buyout.

It is well and good to be wary based on outlier reviews, as well as the other factors you mention, but this seems to be a bit conspiratorial.

My point earlier about Fallout 3 and 4 is that they're both terrible games with very high metacritic scores, which is why metacritic scores are less than worthless.

I am. It's not working. I've done literally everything. If I go to steam in the browser I see AU prices until I log in, and then it's all US. I repeated the steps a dozen times now, and one single time it let me install the game, but then after it finished it still wouldn't let me launch it.

I've changed my time zone, VPNed both my PC and the steam guard, cleared the steam cache, flushed dns, prayed to jesus. All of those steps, repeated. Nothing works. There's a thread on the deathloop subreddit of people having the same problem, so maybe I'm experiencing some new pilot program or I was flagged for using a vpn in the past. I have no clue.

I'm not sure if it's just my controller or pc or what, but I'm getting a really annoying deadzone that makes any kind of slow/fine targetting super irritating. Anyone know of a way to disable that deadzone or a workaround?

Arkane’s never gotten 10/10 syndrome from game journos before, hard to figure why they’d do so now

The game is amazing and IMO the best Arkane have done so possibly because of that.

Yes.

Honestly, I was wary on the game before the reviews, despite me liking the developer, but seeing it got good marks from the sites I frequent was enough for me to take a chance on it.

In dishonored 2 there was a “friction” setting that was basically deadzone adjustments. Something like that maybe?

Finished my first run through Updaam and I'm really enjoying it so far. Hoping the difficulty picks up because currently using a silenced weapon just feels like cheating. It's fun to explore though and the voice acting is great.

I just left everything logged out and went and made a sandwich and did it all from scratch when I got back. And on launch steam started unpacking deathloop automatically. :confuoot:

something cached somewhere had to expire maybe

Initial impressions are great so far - i'm enjoying it alot more than I ever did Dishonored 1 or 2. It has a good sense of humour and Colt and Julianna are well voice casted. I'm also getting a bit of a NOLF vibe from it? If Prey was System Shock 3, then Deathloop is NOLF 3.

Arkanes love of architecture continues - they make amazing looking places.

I came here to post this. I've not got to play it yet but NOLF was the first thing I thought of when I saw it. If it's anywhere near as funny then they're on to a winner.

I think I'm going to shelve my VPN fuckery for tonight, just can't get it to unlock.

Using NordVPN, I've mucked about with every setting (barring obfuscated servers, as there don't appear to be any in Australia). IP checkers show me as being in Australia, but the steam store still shows my currency as sterling and I've left the client for 15mins+ and still no unlocking.

Oh well.

I'm in EU, bought the game a few hours ago and downloaded it as normal. Just now got a 24-Hour trial of CyberGhost 8 VPN, shut down Steam completely, activated the VPN and selected Australia, opened Steam back up and the game started unpacking. Not exactly great info for those struggling I guess but hey maybe it will help someone

It's very different tech, Prey was Cryengine but Deathloop is using the in-house engine from Dishonored 2
