You might want to hold off on preordering Dying Light. - Games

Glad the game has generally been received quite positively so far (I think :v:) Looking like a rare console purchase for co-op purposes, but I won't be paying (even more) extra for a digital copy - so the wait for February 27 begins.

Well, I'm gonna give a little report of performance on a more realistic system, I know TB's is very strong and stuff but even the stuff I seen on his I thought was a little weird.. Here's my report: [b]Settings:[/b] [img]http://puu.sh/f9DON/96b91c3531.png[/img] (Vsync is always on for me, I like to cap at 60, without it the screen tears as the FPS fluctuates a lot.) [B]Specs:[/B] [img]http://puu.sh/f9DuP/f9c4cc503a.png[/img] (Do note [b]I'm running the game off an SSD[/b]) [B]Performance:[/B] Okay so realistically: I never drop anything lower than 58 (I've got VSYNC on as I don't like tearing as the FPS fluctuates a little wildly), it 99.9% of the time maintains 60FPS, I have a slight drop (to 58) whenever I'm loading an entirely new place, otherwise it constantly maintains it, nothing drops when fighting or doing pretty intense parkour. But I feel that it's pretty god damn well optimised and I think the only thing that really needs changing is the performance issues with the DOF and View Distance, otherwise it's pretty damn near a perfect port. If you'd like any more info on it just lemme know.

[QUOTE=Robber;47027970]If it's not about the preorder bonus, then why preorder at all? There is no other advantage to preordering. You can just buy it the moment you would start your download if you had preordered, but will have more information by that time than you had earlier.[/QUOTE] It'd boil down to availability in your area If I want Super Smash Bros. on release day in my area, I'd have to pre-order it, or else I'm not going to get a copy. Waiting a week or two isn't that bad, but if I wanted it early, I'd pre-order it.

[QUOTE=I_love_garrysmod;47028292]The combat feels amazing in this game, so fun. I guess view distance has something to do with LODs, there's barely any graphical difference when you turn it down. I went from 20 fps on max view distance to 40+ on medium, 50+ on low. Turning off Nvidia depth of field and HBAO+ gave me an extra 20 frames on a GTX 770 with an i5 4670.[/QUOTE] I have the same CPU and GPU and I use these settings to get 60FPS most of the time with some drops to low 50s in some areas. It still looks great. The only thing I'd like to turn on is HBAO+, but that kills the framerate.

I can absolutely understand pre-ordering or reserving things that can run out, but we're talking about digital games here. Or at least that's what I thought we were talking about.

It's a great game, and the combination of spikes and kicking reminds me of Dark Messiah while playing. Good times ahead!

I've been stuck in class all day, only had a chance to play the 'tutorial'. How's the game?

After using nvidia's latest drivers (760 2gb) and decreasing view distance to minimum, the FPS is fine but my game still freezes for 3-5 seconds when I turn around. Will probably wait for patches

[QUOTE=Onii;47029067]It's a great game, and the combination of spikes and kicking reminds me of Dark Messiah while playing. Good times ahead![/QUOTE] I got the grapple ability and my first kill with it was grabbing the side of a zombies head and shoving it into a rack of spikes. Good game.

Throwing a giant hook blade and it sticking into a guards head. Satisfaction.

kicking zombies nonstop until they get stunned and fall into a wall of spikes satisfaction

Good game.[/QUOTE] Grapple a sprinter and throw the fuckers off a building. I seriously spent a good portion of time climbing to the roof of the rail-depot outside of the Tower, flicking a propane canister, and waiting for the ninja-like cunts to come screaming on in. or boomering a claw-hammer at them. SH-SH-SHAAA! [editline]28th January 2015[/editline] [T]http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Lc8yq95F8Ks/hqdefault.jpg[/T] SHI-SHI-SHA!

This is fucking brilliant. [video=youtube;1hroR6fYlFM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hroR6fYlFM&feature=youtu.be[/video] My experience so far.

Using grapple to slam a zombie's head into the side of a car really hard, killing it. Satisfaction.

Here are two short clips recorded with Xbox Ones record feature, they are simple but I believe this game has some great animation work for the actual combat/deaths + with the sounds (see second video when guy falls into car.) everything feels like it has weight.

So what's the best price you can get on this game at the moment? Not really picky about what sites to go to, me and a few friends are just looking for the best deal you can get without paying full price.

This game is pretty good, night time is terrifying.

So i had a ton of cash and decided to buy out all the non-weapon stuff the shop had. There was a "buy all" key, so I bought fireworks, didn't realize they had an unlimited amount of fireworks, and I now have over 200 fireworks. :v: Good thing though, I found a place that had like 200 zombies so I got ez exp

Any official statement on a performance patch? Or is it just everyone tweaking their settings as the devs sit idly by? I can manage 34 fps or so in cities, but jesus I ought to be able to run this with solid 60 fps consistently

It seems like the devs are working on a patch, dunno what it is though [url]https://steamdb.info/app/239140/history/[/url]

Anyone got like a picture of the world map they can post? I'd like to get an idea of just how big it is and generally just the flow of it. I had no real interest in this when I first saw it and it looked too much like Dead Island, but seeing stuff on it now and people around here's thoughts on it, I'm more interested.
