"But I haven't seen X problem" is one of the most useless, if not THE most useless comments someone can make on a review specifically mentioning X problem. It's especially egregious considering this is written by someone with decades of experience in games, a legit reputation, and someone who actually played the game in a specific state. If you're not having problems, good for you....other people are. It's 2019, please absorb that and move forward understanding it better, yes?
Bullshit! Letting people know you're not having issues is just as valid as letting people know you are, the current year has nothing to do with it. Brad's experience is irrelevant in this regard. I've been playing just as long, if not longer than Brad, and that experience has nothing to do with the amount of bugs that do or do not effect me.
If you're trying to say that it takes decades of experience and a "legit reputation" to be able to notice "bugs" then maybe those "bugs" aren't worth mentioning as no one outside the gaming press under 38 would even notice them.
"Someone who actually played the game in a specific state." This doesn't even make sense. We are all playing the game "in a specific state". Are you trying to say he played the game in a pre-release state that is different than the current state of the game that we are playing? If so then that invalidates portions of the review right there as the game he reviewed is not the same game that was launched and that we are all playing.
@xgryfter: Appreciate you trying to help, but turning off motion doesn't remove this effect. It's the low-rent blur they use for force slow.
Enemies do not flash red whilst being gold from holding exp. It is why I specified.
Glad you're enjoying a bug free experienc
I guess I haven't been killed yet (I didn't even realize, lol)... I didn't even know they kept experience or glowed. I'll have to keep an eye out.
While the blur doesn't bug me (Maybe it looks better on the PC?) not liking it is a matter of aesthetic opinion and it still doesn't mean it's in a "sad state" it just means you don't like a graphical decision they made.
@chendeezy: Maybe turn off motion blur if you don't like it. Enemies blink red, it's pretty hard to miss.
While I'm only about 8 hours in on the PC I haven't experienced any noticeable bugs including the things Brad brought up.
I'm using a 6 year old I-5, a launch Asus GTX1080 and a 3 year old 7200rpm mechanical drive I've got the game running at max settings, 1080p and I'm getting 60fps. Nothing about that would indicate a "sad state".
Have you guys installed the most recent video drivers? Nvidia released their Horizon 3 drivers yesterday and they are supposed to make a pretty big difference.
I have an i5-4690k and a GTX1080. With every single setting at max and frame rate setting unlocked I get between 80fps and 100fps depending on how many cars are on screen at once but If I lock the framerate to 60 sometimes (but not often) it will drop into the high 40s.
I've already got enough enjoyable playtime out of it to where the $40 isn't a huge hit so I don't necessarily regret buying it (though I do regret supporting these kind of business practices) but once I hit that "grind" I'll stop playing and wait for the patches... or I'll just use the grind time to keep my hands busy while I make my way through all the Beastcasts I missed last year.
@terranova: It's still a very cool effect and is incredibly immersive. If I were given the choice to play a 3rd person game in 2D or VR 3D I'd choose VR everytime. While Edge of Nowhere is cool I thought Chronos was much better.
