+First Edit.

Nothing like the trailers
-Sadly the game is poorly optimized, it is basically a bad port.
+I maintain this one, trailers look cleaner and smoother, graphics on this game don't look very "next gen" to me.

-Graphics are not as great as they show them in the video trailers.
+Again they are not, as I said below and before it looks like they were downgraded to match ps5 users.


-the way they handle cut scenes disabling your mouse is annoying and cut scenes also stutter a lot.
+This is not a technical thing, but is annoying as all hell, there is free roam and "exploration", but there are also part of the game where instead of showing you 1 cu scene they play 5 in a row, why? you can achieve the same with just a long one.


-The bracelet is the most annoying thing, talks a lot, and I mean A LOT!.
+Thanks to the several people comments I turned all the way done this annoying guy, still talks quite a bit but is better now.


-they seem to think is a great idea to freeze you in place while the bracelet is saying some stuff that is supposed to be "meaningful"
+This will keep on happening several times, no way around it.


-it is a great idea poorly executed.
+The game has some "unique visuals" and the parkhour is cool, but that is all, writing is not good sadly, and the story is not bad but is just the way they decided to tell it that doesn't hit you.


-NEW THINGS NOTICED-

-The voice acting is bad, this game have really bad voice acting, there is no feeling from it, the characters feel empty and just there for the sake of an annoying cut scene.

-The dips are still there even after updating to the latest nvidia drivers, and even removing RT it does help and you can feel the difference. people joking about the state of it vs cyberpunk and this one being newer, graphics are nowhere near as good, and I can run psycho mode in cyberpunk without a sweat and no dips on 1440p.

I am playing on a ryzen 7950x and a RTX 4080, with a 3440x1440 predator g-sync monitor. and again is not the best game graphically to me appears like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ downgrade in graphics to match up the maximum of what a PS5 can do. gives out a vibe of watchdogs 1 when they were releasing the trailers vs the released game.
+This one I still maintain is like a watchdogs downgrade, regarding my rig setting, sadly forspoken does not show you your graphics card while in the settings like other games, but you can go to my public screenshots for this game and see the config and how I play it.

I would advise not to purchase this game if you want to play the game properly, better wait for it to be polished, because it is a disaster.
+Yes the game is not on its best state and I would still say to not buy it if you don't want to deal with the unoptimized mess, there are full gameplays of the game I advise to go look at those during combats like the first one with the dragon and see the graphics, almost all gameplay is from PS5 sadly so mmm is not the same.

"Game looks great" How high are you man, the game looks like a 30$CAD game _at best_ It is NO WHERE near the quality you would expect from shelling out this much money.

Man, something is going on with your rig... I'm using a 13700k and a 4080 and I've played this without going lower than 80 fps (with no DLSS) and everything on ultra, including DT shadows. At 1440p too...

Do you think the graphics card alone makes the PC? Apparently you're computer illiterate...

I like how a lot of the comments basically say "Works on my machine" aka 'I don't care about anything in this review'

Yes

Since pressing the button apparently doesn't work, I'll just leave it as a comment.

@Prismatic Lollipop ewww DLSS. and 80 to 120 means is not smooth, you are having variations, and from 80 to 120 is a huge number, if you don't notice a 40 fps drop then you need a new set of eyes, or maybe you do notice it but you just decide to ignore it, and defend a huge company because you like their whole movement xD.

all these reviews and its under 500hours thats crazy
Prismatic Lollipop Jan 25, 2023 @ 2:41pm 
i'm getting 80-120 fps, no stutters, no crashes and no further dips throughout the game, and movement plus combat is very smooth, same as in the trailers.
i'm playing at 4K with HDR on, g-sync on, and on an RTX 4090 with DLSS set to quality and sharpening at 0.50.
game looks great, runs great, and is nothing remotely resembling your describtion.

are we even playing the same game?

Sounds like you need a tissue for your skill issue
