I have to admit. I general buy video games for research and development, as I build video games in Unreal Engine. But with an ASRock X370 Tai Chi, 5950x 16 core 32 Thread processor, and a ASRock 6950xt. This game looks beautiful. I over doubled my FPS, @ 3440x1440, with everything cranked up . Of course I had to get a 1300 w gold EVGA PSU, to power all this hardware. I did the benchmark, and would like to share the results.
Just for the record I find it interesting that the X370 Tai Chi started at PCIE3 and since the latest bios update it runs PCIE4. I hope the screen shot posted.
I have a seven year old PC with dated components and this game looks absolutely stunning on 1080p already. I can only imagine what it must look like at 4k.
Beautiful game for sure, good story and protagonist. But some of those robot dinos are insufferably difficult to kill. Where can I find a rock that will break the Rockbreaker?
Using a spear like a club really ruined immersion for me. Economy is really bad too, Inventory flooded with stuff and nothing to spend it on. Micromanaging inventory as a minigame. Picking flowers to get healing made up like 2 hours of my gameplay. Lots of filler content and mechanics to increase played time. A thousand or so campfires as checkpoints. Linear character progression with a pseudo-skill tree that doesn’t allow for real choices.
Graphics are good.
Story isn’t bad, but nothing really new or innovative. A lot of stereotypes and borrowing from the best-of from the last 3 decades. I’ve seen better designed quests in 30 year old MMOs. Predictable and obvious plot twist. Game even gives hints so even the dumbest player feels smart. Cheap and patronizing.
Multi-hitbox Dinosaurs and learning strength+weaknesses was fun. Downing Thunderjaws or Rockbreakers and the DLC Dinos were good challenges. Birds are more annoying than fun or challenging.
It was ok. Nothing really remarkable or new. Good techdemo for graphics and benchmarking though.
This one I dunno … I liked the story, yes you have a feeling whats happening… but your still not sure.
I like the dystopian image of our future. Yes, has elements of other stories, but how they were put together I felt was unique. Story arc was fun to me. I liked some of the challenges the game gives you. BUT to each their own.
I was bummed that we have to wait the second game comes to PC.
Now that I think of it… I kinda wanna get into this one again… but Assassins Creed is taking precedent at the moment.
Oh, that is so cool! Why did I not know that Lego Horizon is a thing?!
You and me both!
I was amazed by how well the first game was ported to PC. I’m fine with waiting for the sequel a little. Give how closed off and pretentious about exclusivity Sony was in the past, I’m glad it’s only a year or so now until they release their games to PC as well.
I just really loved how I had to work to find all the lore, and how it was presented. It really made the story come alive for me. I admit that the melee combat was a disappointment, and mostly just used stealth and hacking. Also its not the worst use of inventory system (Xenosaga 2 will always hold that bar for me), it was not that great. But I guess my only nitpick was I wish there was bit more to the ending.
Also I have read the comics and other media, and love the extended lore too!
Next I honestly mostly play games for the story, so if ones does not have one I am out.
Yeah, this is me as well. Also, the beautiful surroundings and lighting did help. I found it a joy travelling around and looking for as well as at things. Though I haven’t 100% the game.
I thought I had better screenshots to more represent of the beauty of the game, but alas...
The inventory bugged me as well. Quite disorganized, tbh. But I’m not analytical enough to remember which game I played with a better one. I remember Dragon Age (on my to replay list before the 4th comes out) having an ok inventory, as well as The Witcher 3. It’s been a while since I’ve played those, or any RPG for that matter…
MS already told that their exclusives will only be timed ones.
At least that was the case when they bought Bethesda. But only time will tell how the future will play out.
I, for one, hope that everyone will play nice and release content for all platforms.
Except Nintendo. They’re never gonna change so what’s the use. They can go to whatever pretentious depths of hell they came out of.
Sony has gone full in on the PC ports… later. Basically they made enough money so far on steam and other platforms that games will be coming there, but they have to be on the PS for a year or two before they get ported.
And when when I mean full in, they opened a first party dev studio just to do PC games and ports.
