Not gonna lie, the hype is starting to make me want to get it.

Buy something for her first and then the game always work for me haha

Is this game Steam exclusive? I usually like to buy on GMG for a discount, but don't see it anywhere else.

Not sure why GMG doesn't have it. Fanatical did but apparently it's sold out. It's available from keyshops like cdkeys if you wanna go that route though.

I did that in my pc gaming days. I’d hit up a store for her, then go to Fry’s for myself.

 

[Larogue]

The fact that it's linear is totally fine and makes me want to play it more. Not everything, like every other game nowadays needs to be open-world. I don't even understand why dock points of it being linear.

Yea I'm tired of open-world games, it's lazy game design.

Strange, ok well Fanatical is my second stop. Hopefully the OOS issue is temporary. I usually don't buy full price day one games, but I'm caught up in the hype.

Can you turn off motion blur on ps5?

 

[Chuck Berry]

Yeah, I've caved like a little bitch.

To pirate?

Oh man the pressure must’ve been INTENSE

 

[Needlecrash]

Played about an hour so far. I am fucking LOVING IT. On PC, game seems to be very much optimized. Also, new Nvidia drivers are out today folks. The fact that this is Game Science's FIRST GAME and it's hitting crazy ass records not even a full 24 hours post launch is INCREDIBLE. Seems like all of that outrage didn't amount to jack shit LMAO.

MORE GAMES LIKE THIS PLEASE.

 

[Needlecrash]

What are the defensive options in the game so far? I kept hearing conflicting info on blocking. Just curious.

So far, there is NO BLOCKING. You can roll your staff to deflect projectiles though at the cost of Stamina.

To pirate?

That might be a little difficult atm.

Protip for all you master racers, Use this to disable the sharpening - https://github.com/Lyall/UltrawidePatches/tree/main/Black Myth Wukong

It's an ultrawide fix, but in the ini it has the option to disable the sharpening, so if you just want to use that, then disable the aspectratio fix and enable the disable sharpening.

Game looks magnificent now, I've reshaded in CAS instead of the awful UE sharpening and its *chef's kiss*

 

[TintoConCasera]

So tempted to get this. Might still wait a bit since I have some games I want to beat first, but I'm happy to read such good initial impressions.

Initially it lets you turn into stone for a block/parry if you time it right.

Thought that was a tanooki thing lol.

 

[Rudius]

Not gonna lie, the hype is starting to make me want to get it.

There are no transexuals in the game.

 

[Luipadre]

Not gonna lie, the hype is starting to make me want to get it.

I did and im kinda feeling meh about it after 5 hours.

How can i remove this awful sharpening on PC? Its seriously killing my eyes

 

[GymWolf]

Did i missed a freaking frog boss?

 

[Stafford]

 

[SuperDad]

Just trying to decide if I want PS5 or PC.
PS5 gives me couch gaming + LG OLED but potentially worse performance)

 

[Luipadre]

One thing that the game doesnt support HDR at all, but it has awful black levels in SDR too. Thats a first...

 

[Hugare]

Over 2m on Steam is fucking crazy

The power of China

First AAA game from them, marketed like crazy in their territory, about China's most famous legend

It was pretty obvious that the game would be huge regardless of its quality

RTX HDR saves the day

2nd comment for how to get RTX HDR to work. Looks so much better with it.

I'll probably wait for just a sharpening fix.

 

[CosmicComet]

This game is the perfect mix of character action and souls like.

I'm absolutely in love. The first 10 minutes easily outdid any God of War game in setpiece scale.

Move over compromised western devs, bring on the mainland Asian devs. This being Game Science's first game is an absolutely incredible achievement.

It's odd, because the very first footage had fine black levels.

Starting to regret buying Temu Souls.

Bought for PC. Much bigger download than I anticipated so wont be able to play until later

 

[TintoConCasera]

PC bros, stutter status? I'm hovering the buy button.

Traversal stutter here and there, otherwise works fine.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Traversal stutter here and there, otherwise works fine.

Meaning that combat is 100% smooth? That would be fine for me.

 

[Teh Chosen Juan]

So does this run at least native 1440p @ 60fps on PS5 or what? I need to know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no. so far, quality mode/"weak" motion blur seems to be the best for my liking. balanced just looks slightly better than performance. both are low res/blurry imo. getting closer and closer each release to going back to PC gaming.... :'( DRIVERS!! UPDATES!! WEIRD BLUE SCREENS!! fml

Got to leave some bandwidth free to be able to shitpost on GAF.

Combat is 99% smooth yeah.

Btw i didn't get any boss soul from the bonfire, do i have to reach a certain bonfire?

 

[Stafford]

Starting to regret buying Temu Souls.

Why is that?

 

[Chuck Berry]

I’m on quality mode and loving the fuck out of it. Haven’t adjusted the motion blur at all. Just because it doesn’t work for one person doesn’t mean that’s what its like across the board for all players.

 

[nikos]

Why is that?

Just got salty over dying lol. Will go back in tonight.

 

[Bavarian_Sloth]

New nvidia driver available! 560.94

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Man just now realizing how much performance loss you get with RTX HDR, it's around 20% for me.

 

[Needlecrash]

RTX is a HOG in this game. At least 20%.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

RTX is a HOG in this game. At least 20%.

Yep, without it averaging around 95-100 fps, down to about 80 with it. Imma leave it off and just hope they officially add HDR.

 

[tommib]

Yes.
