I heard this game is no longer complete

[WaveMasterElliot]

I heard that this steam version is missing the live action video parts from in between stages of the game. This true?

Past Act 3 now and haven't had any trouble with these videos.

At this point I think Remedy should do a future proofed version for Steam even if it's 400-600gb

Yes.

Played the game last night.

The video playback is horrible. Continually pausing, "buffering video"...

No problems with other streaming services, YouTube, Netflix, Twitch etc.

Same here. Really ruins the game.

Just played it and all the episodes worked for me. Buffering and playback was just fine, had HD video the whole time with no buffer moments

[Specific Beef]

Recently bought this and playing for the first time. Close to the end and, thankfully, no buffer problems. I feel bad for all the people having a bad experience — presumably, those people can watch Youtube videos so why can't Microsoft provide a smooth experience?

I see why they wanted to make it this way, considering the talent in the cast, but I haven't missed a single piece of info during the gameplay and the only identifiable cool moment in the video is one where a decision to leave an audiobook playing over the enemy comms results in it irritating a main character in a video scene. Aside from that, I'm aware that some scenes have an extra clip here and there but nothing that makes me feel glad that I have a compulsion to scour games for collectables.

If anything, it feels like when I play this in the future I will have to force myself to avoid all the data to make these 30 min episodes as short as possible, and players with less of an obsessive personality than me probably started doing that during their first/only run.

(I do love the game, especially seeing how it fits into Alan Wake, Alan Wake 2, and Control, and it's already making me itch to play Control and Alan Wake 2 again knowing what I know now. Just not sure of the wisdom of forced TV watching.)

the tv show is great especially with the budget they had my issue is its still streaming only so eventually microshit might nuke the episodes at some point and id like to have the ability to download them at some point so i dont need to watch them online all the time i want to play on my steam deck but that makes it hard to do

Yeah, an absolutely legitimate concern, and it would be sensible to allow the user to download them to be played locally in the game instead.

I can't even see how it would be a big data concern. ~2h at 1080p with good video optimisation wouldn't add much to the install size. Optional 4k, even. I can see how this was a worry in 2016 when the approx. 70GB installation was eye-watering for some, but given the routinely massive game sizes of today it seems silly to separate the video data.

i also think it was another concern they had but i dont really remember too much but i forgot about the install size being bigger but hard drives are much cheaper now

Playing through it right now on Xbox Series X and I had to download the video side pack. 75 gigs, almost as big as the game lol. But I couldn't get it to stream at all on Xbox, had to download. Game is great though.

Fits nicely on my giant HDD though, so whatever.
