How does it run?

[dood1234]

I want to buy this, but am worried, due to it being described as "unfinished", that it may run like ♥♥♥♥. How is the performance generally? I have a 1070ti and a 3770k. Also, I play on a 1440p 144hz screen.

It's good. It runs well. So do you, if you upgrade your legs.

The only issue might be if you're using windows 10, related to saving the game, but I think there's solutions to that somewhere on the forum here. But the performance itself is very good.

is it inaccessible as others say? I've play the whole Souls series (only the PC releases) and found that people were generally exagerating when talking about the difficulty/inaccessibility of it. Is this a similar case?

I'm currently trying to decide between this and Dark Messiah: of might and magic.

Something tells me you were watching Mandaloregaming recently.

I was indeed.

I'd get this over DM tbh. Your hardware is more than enough for the game as well.

The rabble always exaggerates. Learn not to listen to other people. Only the voices in the back of your head.

This game is good, what isn't obvious immediately will get clear eventually as you learn on the go.

Honestly though, I've played with people who bloody got stuck at the part in the cave in the beginning where you have to use cyber jump to get up the rock. Crouch + Jump. Not a hard concept. ._.

Yeah, I find that most complaints about difficulty are usually egaderated.

Pretty well I must say, I've played it on HD5850 for first 80-100 hours and I got solid 60 fps (only drops were on New Eden and when we had more than 4 players on the server)

On 1050 its smooth like butter so far, no drops below 60, no crashes on Win10(!)so far

Difficulty is really subjective. The game itself is not really hard. I'd say its more about learning its mechanics and how the game flows
and as soon as you get all important researches, weapons and get your stats high enough you dictate the flow of the game cuz you really become overpowered It's fun

The game runs well but it is extremely unfinished/unpolished. The game sucks but has a unique atmosphere and oozes feelings.

It is very easy, enemies die from couple of shots but can see you from far away. It's annoying.

The plot doesn't make much sense. Weapons are nice and characters are quite crazy.

Souls series got its reputation because it was a console series that stepped above the usual console level of difficulty to the level that PC gamers would call "average" which to console gamers is "super hard". So for them it was hard, compared to the games they were used to.

EYE: Divine Cybermancy is not particularly hard either, but it generally wants you to learn things yourself. For today's braindead Generation Z who expect their hand to be held, this makes it hard. If you played video games in the 90s where learning a game yourself was part of the game, you'll have no problem with EYE.

That said, you can crank the difficulty in EYE pretty damn high (with difficulty on Ghost and AI on SBO you never want to stick your head out of cover without either a cloak or dermal sheath on), but the base settings aren't hard.

In fact EYE is a bit of a power fantasy game, but done really well. You wade through enemies like the cybernetic psychic supersoldier that you are, but you can still get taken down up by an unexpected gunship, one lucky headshot from an enemy's antitank gun, or just getting drowned in bodies. The overall cadence of the game is kicking arse, but you do have to stay on your toes to do it.
