Haven't read any reviews, don't plan to. How long is the game supposed to be, on average?
A smaller, yet more or less fully-fledged crpg appeals to me very much at the moment, with all the games I want to play coming up.

how do you make the combat good
ads is the most useless thing ever, you're better off just firing from the hip

That’s beyond a mere .ini tweak, unfortunately. Truth be told I don’t find it to be all that bad, my only issue is that the ADS and fire have some definite delay sometimes. If I ADS a couple times consecutively it’ll just not ADS at all for a second or so.
Other than that, I like how there’s a proper response from enemies depending on which body part you shoot. Hitting them in the knee so they fall forwards followed by a shot to the head to finish them off. It’s decent in my book.
the weapons feel inaccurate or very weak tho, maybe because I'm still in Edgewater and my best gun is a 173 dps revolver
but the machete feels like it does a lot better damage even thou it doesn't LOL

Inaccurate it what way? I’ve used a few different guns now, the pistol, sawn off, hunting rifle, assault rifle, revolver, etc. my only complaint is with how pissweak the sawn off is. Literally useless.
Not noticed any shots missing or not registering thus far.

Cant wait to come back to it later this weekend. Wanted to knock out MW campaign first, and did that. Going to look at some of the tweaks from Vapes. Although outside of the horrible CA, I didn't really have a issue with much else.

The stutter seems to be hit and miss, some aren’t experiencing any. I had a fair bit, the combination of those stutter tweaks, forcing full screen + g sync have completely fixed it for me apart from the occasional small hitch and some drops in the first 5 seconds of loading a save.
Can’t even blame Obsidian for it, had similar issues with AC Origins when that came out and had to do some tweaks in the Nvidia control panel.
Forgot to list the crash fix, I’ll edit it in later. Has worked for me.
@Rvy can’t comment to be honest, I’ve not done much hip firing since I’m so used to ADS mechanics in games that I just use it.
wtf @ smokey playing an rpg
hope stuttering issues aren't bad enough that I need to edit the ini, hope to dip into this game today

Applied the fixes, set most of the .ini files to read-only, so far so good. FPS indicator isn't working for some reason, but it's definitely running well above 60fps on ultra. No weird stuff happening so far, except the occasional short-lived hitching right after loading a save that Vapinho mentioned.
Still need to apply the ultrawide mod for dialog sequences and see if somebody has come up with a fix for stretched FMV.
I know, dev priorities and all, I get it, but it's still crazy to me that this basic stuff doesn't get the attention it needs towards the end of the dev cycle.

I read that some people couldn’t get an FPS counter working, but both the Geforce Experience and RTSS counters work fine for me.

By HottestVapes Go To Post@ZaboHaven't tried either yet, just the ingame one through the .ini, I'm sure I'll get something to work.

Can't play with this keyboard man, I just can't. Gonna have to wait til monday.
Also, there's definitely something funky going on with the viewmodel FOV. Will need to investigate further.
The view model doesn't change when you increase or decrease the FOV, so it looks fucking weird since usually you'd expect it to get smaller/look further away as you increase the FOV.
Still better than Crysis 2's FOV.

This game is so good. I love how many speech checks there are and how it actually uses attributes like science and medicine all the time. You can actually role play using those stats! How novel.
By rodeoclown Go To PostThis game is so good. I love how many speech checks there are and how it actually uses attributes like science and medicine all the time. You can actually role play using those stats! How novel.I'd be feeling the game a lot more if I hadn't just finished Disco Elysium earlier in the week. The dialogue and skill checks basically are the whole game and it does it superbly. Far and away better than this.
Not that TOW isn't doing it well either, but it's more or less what par for the course considering it's the spiritual successor to New Vegas. Though, the writing is nowhere near as good as I hoped it would be. The world building is all fine and dandy, but the dialogue and the way NPCs talk about the corporations is all obnoxiously on the nose. It's one thing that's kinda putting me off the game.
I think, given the way things are in the real world right now tackling the corp stuff in a less obvious way would be weak. Part of the joke is no matter how cartoonish and obviously fucked this stuff is we're already living it.
Don't put hats/helmets on followers by the way. They get auto-removed in dialogue scenes, and you can take them back off without swapping on a different hat/helmet.
By toku Go To PostYou can talk to your companions while riding elevators. Amazing game.Fuck that, THERE'S LADDERS IN THE GAME. WORKING LADDERS, LAD.
Is there any repercussions to stealing?
Almost feel like they shouldn't even have it in there if they couldn't be bothered to put....something to dissuade it. I'm only in the first hour but I'm just walking wherever I want and taking shit without anyone checking on me.

i mean even in skyrim the store owners and house owners would basically chase you through any off-limit zones, regardless of if you had intention to steal or not

that's surprising...to be fair parvati did kind of specify that she's kind of neutral on the situation, like she could go either way with a decision as long as you took things into account, but I hope there's more follower pressure in regards to certain actions
i wish more rpgs would just have companions say "ya know what, fuck that" and attack you after doing certain shit

I killed the boss guy with the forgettable name in the Cannery and she flipped out. Guess we know her allegiance truly lies with the town.

I vividly remember zevran cuttingthat old hen wrynns head off and me smashing shale to dust
Glad to say, my game is now running absolutely fine without a single issue beyond the odd stutter here and there. I put up with far worse playing Oblivion earlier in the year, I can deal with this.
Got done with Edgewater earlier, reloaded my save pre-Reed murder and went about it a bit more rationally. Sided with the old woman and blasted in to space with an Ashly Burch and the Vicar.

By Fenderputty Go To PostThis really only 20 hours? Gonna wait until price drop if soFor the main story. A completionist run will take about 40.
By rodeoclown Go To PostFor the main story. A completionist run will take about 40.Ok 👍🏼
I’m liking the space station a lot more than Edgewater. Seems there’s just a lot more going on in terms of quests and characters. Like the design of it too, feels like a small hub world from Deus Ex MD.
By HasphatsAnts Go To PostIs it just me or is Edgewater super sparsely populated? Feels like there's nobody aroundThere's a narrative reason for that. Mass desertions of workers fed up with the rampant capitalism of the Cannery. But you're right. Edgewater could do with more people anyway. Just to make the game feel livelier.
