I've played three hours and am really enjoying it so far. It's buggy but nothing that breaks the game so far. It really reminds me of Skyrim/Fallout 4 at launch. Yeah, there's buggy weird stuff but you can still enjoy the game. Some of the criticism re: bugs, even from Jeff G and Jeff B, whom I both like, are flat out hyperbolic. Listening to them you'd think the game is unplayable broken trash. There are games out there that are a LOT more broken. I'm playing on PC with a 3090 so YMMV.

It's like if Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Fallout 4 were combined into a single game. If that doesn't sound like you'd like it then you probably wouldn't. I guess people are disappointed because this was hyped to be a GrOuDbReAkInG nExT-gEn ExPeRiEnCe? I don't know, it's what I thought it would be and I'm digging it.

Watch Dogs Legion DLSS on my 3090 makes the water in the Thames River look like ass. It has this weird artifact (seemingly) on the top layer of the water. DLSS on improves the framerate and everything else looks perfect.

This isn't my "most bizarre" issue but just wanted to share after I saw DLSS in WDL mentioned.

Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes was a thing.... :(

Will send you an invite. I'm KevinCilantro on Origin, also looking for a Dead Space 3 PC co-op buddy.

I've played through single player 100 times as Issac. Now I want to do a co-op run playing as Carver. Anybody up for it? Any difficulty is fine with me.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I specifically meant after the Alien Base. That in itself isn't that hard or different than what came before, in my opinion. I usually nanny saved because I didn't like losing anybody, but the first time I attacked a shot-down either supply barge or abductor (don't recall at the moment), I stormed the cargo bay only to discover there were literally like 20 aliens standing in the back room, mutons, cyberdiscs, sectopod, etc.

The first encounter with the Etheral was hard, too, I thought.

Holy shit.

I got this game when it came out, and played up to the alien base mission before I put it down because the bugs were killing me (bugs as in glitches in the game, not the Chryssalids - zing). Now, I'm back and started a new game to play through the DLC. Both times, I thought I had a pretty badass XCOM team, but boy, once you attack that alien base, the aliens stop playing around and this game gets tough.

For some reason, I like the game more now. I like that halfway through it challenges your established strategy.

Some people are teenagers without jobs who will bitch about anything costing money. The people who complain about the hats on Steam costing money are the same people who think any and all DLC is bad if it isn't free.
