I'm with y'all in that 2 was transcendent dumb fun and 3 had too much holding it back. I have 2 installed on my MOST POWERFUL GAME CONSOLE EVER just to gently caress around with and it still feels and plays well. Hoping that this does well and is good.

Fair, but these games never get hyped. I'm thinking maybe they're trying a more streamer-influencer approach to it rather than trying to woo the standard gaming press. Like, I like RTGaming a lot, but he's by no means mainstream.

I think that the nature of highlight videos and gameplay will lend itself more to a streamer/webm slow burn type of promotion like bread simulator or goat simulator. People see some streamer crashing a flying boat into a blimp and want to have a crack.

The subreddit is pretty much up in flames right now because the game either got seriously bugged or the devs massively downgraded the graphics engine on consoles to the point of looking worse than JC3.

I’m pretty sure they aggressively downgraded it to avoid performance issues. The good news is that the frame rate stays solid no matter how much poo poo is popping off. I think the game could probably look a lot better than it does on X and still achieve that, so either their engine is just really bad, or they didn’t want to spend time/money optimizing for console.

Just played this game for 30 minutes on an Xbox One X and all I have to say is: MY EYES The blur is insane, it causes my eyes to try to re-focus constantly causing severe strain. It doesn't even look like motion blur, it's like the screen is just covered in Vaseline.

In the modern era of 4-6 weeks of heavy post-release patching including frequent day 1 patches I kind of expect there to be lots of bugs, glitches, crashes, and general errata. No game world or engine survives first contact with the players without sustaining significant damage.

Played a bit last nite. Performance was fine (didn't really stress it, I think), driving was fine. I ran into some early mission bugs (first retractor mission and another where I had to snipe from rooftops but no enemies were marked). The graphics were...not good. Like the textures just didn't want to load in high res so a lot of my field of view was just low res textures. That said, I imagine the bugs will be fixed and maybe the graphics later. Whichever way, so far I'm enjoying it. e: one of my bigger gripes are the lack of distance measurement on waypoints and being unable to zoom out more on the map. i'd say that's a good sign! guidoanselmi fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Dec 3, 2018 |

I heard the gameplay was worse that the older games. Apparently having fun and blowing poo poo up is now counterproductive in missions, because they're tightly timed and exploding poo poo takes precious time. Base clearing is also gone. I don't see that forward getting home and firing it up.

Just got through the first set of tutorial missions, it looks ok. No detectable hitches in performance; fairly steady around 100 FPS.

Yeah, that did it. Jesus, this game is ugly. They really couldn't figure out how to optimize the engine without just straight downgrading everything, eh? That's depressing, it's about on par with JC2 graphically. The texture filtering and AA is pretty much non-existent what the hell... this has to be a bug, it didn't look this bad in any of the streams I saw.

 Seriously, if this is what's intended to look like maxed out then...  I don't think that I can deal with this unless it gets fixed, it's actually making my eyes hurt with how jagged everything is and how blurry everything is.

Oh boy  I thought y'all were talking about the console release but that's PC? Holy crap. Yeah, that has to be a bug or a driver thing. The pre-release footage hasn't looked that garbo - they'd have to be trying!

I somehow circumvented steams pre-load lockout for JC4. Not really sure how though. I pre-loaded it on one computer. Then transferred the depotcache files to a second computer to avoid another 50g of downloads. It had about 300mb it wanted to download so I let it. Then I noticed it didn't say pre-load complete, so I hit play and it started the decryption. Once that was done it loaded right up. Can't figure out how to get it to work on the first comp though.

The graphics really look like poo poo. Is there any antialiasing? And the pop-in is very 2004. The fullton balloons look like a ton of fun though, I'll probably grab this after Christmas.

There has to be some kind of bug with the bluring, I'm pretty sure it's not intended to look like this (the same thing happens when you are in a speedboat): https://xboxclips.com/tjiev/5c49187b-82a5-4967-b598-52477e084b1a

The story is there so they have excuses to put all the stuff in the game. They wanted a map with cool weather so they built a super stupid story around it. The protagonists are over the top evil/stupid and just there so you can hate them. It's like they still don't get what made JC2 fun, it wasn't the loving story missions that's for sure but they are really doubling down on the "stupid" story but as they say, you do not go full retard maaan.

Who cares about graphics? Are the enemies still god-like bullet sponges who can hit you from waaaaaaay far away? Are you still constantly being shot so standing still for 5 seconds is a death sentence? Can you actually use a helicopter without it being blown up by constantly spawning rocket launcher guys and/or AA guns that rocket you down with half a second warning? Can I drive for 5 seconds before ROCKETING my car over a cliff by accident or have each and every constantly spawning enemy vehicle always outrunning any vehicle and flawlessly ramming the front making escape all but impossible? Can I derail a train or tie balloons to it? Is it playable and fun?

Well the new GeForce drivers with optimizations for JC4 just dropped so maybe that be part of the problem? Maybe? Hopefully? Really just want to wingsuit everywhere with the grapple. No jetpacks for me, just the wind at my back, 60's spider-man webbing on my arms and a deadly unbreakable grappling hook forever.

I haven’t seen many reviews on it yet outside polygon and they arnt finished yet. They seem mixed on it gameplay wise and I looks like they barely fixed the main mission structure from 3 but more linear and a ton of timed poo poo. Normally that wouldn’t mean poo poo but apparently a ton of poo poo is locked behind region conquest.
