The demo is bad

[AlucardNoir]

Perfomance is the first thing you notice and it's just not there.

Things don't get any better whit controlls. I've tried a Gamesir Cyclone via bluetooth - hall effects for the win, plus I kinda need gyro for other games so BT it is - and it really doesn't like any sort of remaping of the Swich layout.

Stopping in mid air to attack is... puzzelingly stupid. Really, who thought that was a good idea.

Did I mention the bad performnace? I did, let me add a system crash. Oh, and increadibly bad graphics and high settings. Seriously, lowering things to medium made the game look better, though that might have just been the motion blur - wtf do devs keep on adding this eye cancer to games? And one more things, freezes, since they're not lag spices since it's a sinleplayer game.

On the bright side the game actually tells you to play with a controller the first time you start it so that's an actual bonus. It would be even better if you got one of those green - controller highly recommended store icons like Aparture Desk Job has. But if the player being told that the game was designed to use a controller is the best things I have to say about your demo... ouch.

This demo has been so bad you actually convinced me not to buy your game. WTF guys, who on your team green lit this steaming pile of dodo? Seriously, were they not thinking or did they quit and are now on their way to another studios and this was their FU to the rest of the team. This was in no way ready for release. This isn't an early demo, this is a prototype you show investors. Demos are suposed to convince people to buy your game, prototypes are there to convince investors and publishers you have a good core concept and you only need time and money to guarantee them a return on investment. This game is nowere near release readdy, you guys need at least another year before you can even begin to consider releasing a demo, let alone the game. I really wouldn't be surprised if this demo end up hurting you in the long run. That's how bad it is.

Is this sarcasm?

[UltraPuta]

huh?

No, it's called having standards. While some people might be ok with sub 60 fps, or fps stutters I'm not. The mid air attack freeze has been called out by multiple people in these forums as well. And a game that crashed my whole system is by definition BAD.

I'm the kind of guy that would give Pathfinder Kingmaker a bad review because of the absurd load times even while it's running on an SSD. You can call me out on that by going to GGG and looking in the review section. You will find my review there. So no, no it's not sarcasm.

IF you came to me with this game to invest in as a VC I'd say sure, you have something here. But this is not a prototype, it's a demo. It's supposed to convince me to buy the game when it comes out. It has bad performance, bad controller remapping AND it crashed my system. A demo is the game equivalent of a trailer. IF you see a trailer for a comedy and in place of making you laugh it makes you groan, are you going to go see the movies after?

apparently you don't have the same standards when you built your pc. so bear with me when I question your attempt at sarcasm.

My appologies for not being able to afford a 4090? (now that was sarcasm, in case you were still wondering)

[Omence072]

Demo felt great to me

[Captain Blud]

Put post processing on low and it looks better, takes away the blurriness
Still, it doesn't run very good, on a 4090 i get around 90-100 fps

not a very helpful reference considering we have no clue about your setup. like me writing an unhinged rant without any specifics.

Great demo, my PC is 5 years old and it run smoothly as hell, no CTDs and no sttutering, pausing midair attack is staple metroidvania, a lot of games do that.
The parry is forgiving too, you can go tower shield, the two handed sword is also good, since the game has poise and that thing hits like a truck, so all in all day 1 buy for me.

BSOD not CTD. As for that being a staple of metroidvanias, if it is then I've been playing the wrong metroidvanias.

My brother, I'm on a 2060 and I'm getting a steady 70-75+ on high settings at 1440p. Only stutters I had were a pretty bad one when one specific effect played (I remember it happened when smashing each of the corpses in the haunted house).

And BSOD is as often a hardware error as a software one, perhaps it's time to do some maintenance and make sure you're not getting thermal throttled?

Firstly, that was sarcasm. But hey, some people aren't the brightest - that's me calling you stupid in case it flew over your head.

Secondly, haven't had a BSOD since uninstalling, and I hadn't had one before installing the game on this machine. You might be right, or, maybe, just maybe, the game did not see eye to eye with my machine as it were. I guess I'll see if I get any more BSOD, but as it stands, this is the only game/demo that has done that to my machine so my money's on this game being the cause.

This reminds me of Nvidia's response to why Starfield behaved so badly on their hardware at launch. Where it any other dev than Bethesda responsible for Starfield I'd say they were making excuses, but their explanation gelled with Bethesda's buggy releases.

So you decided it's super helpful to be cryptically sarcastic instead of admitting you're playing with something worse than a mid-budget card from >5 years ago, and you somehow want to be an FPS snob with it too? That's not just stupid that's delusional.

I bet you haven't cleaned a thing since you plugged the card in over half a decade ago. But sure, keep blaming the software without even looking at your temps, maybe once it finally cooks you'll have to buy some hardware modern enough to support your delusions and you can stop making a nuisance of yourself.

You must have me confused for the guy that said he was playing on a 2070, oh wait, that was you.

As for cleaning, I cleand the pc last week when I installed a new 4tb ssd. Not that it matters since having a diffrent experience than you seems to be a crime in your not so humble opinion.

Bad demo, worse players.
