I wish they'd stop saying it's framey and "and this is the performance mode!" like that always means it looks better. Performance modes usually are uncapped framerates with a lower resolution. The frame rate stutter in a performance mode is usually caused by an uncapped framerate.
I'm only half way through so maybe they will, but I wish they'd show the 'quality' or whatever it's called mode because the framerate, while lower, locked at 30, might be more solid with less stutter. Guess I'll have to wait for Digital Foundry to find out if it's more playable that way.
Edit: Oh wow, some of Brad's descriptions of issues near the end makes me think a locked framerate won't help with some of them.
@bradThat cube is literally from the Star Wars Rebels series, so yeah, it definitely is Ewan McGregor.
I wonder if Brad would find this game's delving into the Empire's takeover after Order 66 if he'd watched Star Wars: Rebels because there's a lot of world lore about that buried in that series.
I've gone from cancelling the Special Edition I had on preorder after watching this quick look to cancelling the regular edition and trying it at Redbox after listening to everyone on the Beastcast. No one has much good to say about it at Giant Bomb and that's a huge red flag for me. If it'd just been one or 2 I could write it off but when Vinny goes on a LOUD rant about it, yikes... I'm good without it.
@flashburn8787: I think Jeff explained it pretty well, its a "Walking Simulator, Encumbrance Simulator with the philosophy of a pot smoker Philosophy 101 student".
Pretty sure I'm gonna cancel my preorder unless someone else shows/tells me something interesting in a review.
