[SeidoN]

fortunately 45GB will only take me a couple hours but still

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Pre-loading right now.

 

[FLYLine27*]

even if performance is a little jank on release, I can live with some FPS drops in a turn based strategy game

Exactly. It's not really going to hurt the experience.

Yup, unlock times

 

[SeidoN]

Wher did you buy from? My key came from Greenman today.

Also, the download is about 25gb if I remember.

Unsure if I should move to SSD or just leave on normal drive. I wonder how load times are?

Yeah, that is what the PRE in pre-loading means

 

[FLYLine27*]

True..

But maybe after the Pre load, you get to play right away...ok yea that makes no sense

 

[SeidoN]

OK I got my key, hype can commence

EDIT: can we also have a thread title change. its been a while since game was announced

 

[SeidoN]

Played a few missions. its very good.

id advise using FXAA antialiasing for now. the MSAA utterly destroys performance. the FXAA looks fine anyway

also do the tutorial, it has story content

VPN for me on PST, been playing for a while now as well

 

[SeidoN]

geez the early game pulls no punches

 

[Cush]

631 mb update released, no word on what it does.

 

[SeidoN]

pro tip for early game. get flashbangs. it breaks all of the Sectoid's active psi-powers

 

[DrFeelgood]

Downloaded this last night but waiting until tonight to play so I can binge until sometime in the early morning and through the weekend.

You guys enjoying it so far? Having any stability or performance issues?

 

[dogbazinho]

Preloaded several days ago. Can't play much since I work all weekend then my parents are in town for the days I'm off next week. At this rate I'll be able to play Friday, Saturday, Sunday of next week.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Well, the brutal difficulty is definitely not overblown. On the first real mission without the game holding my hand I had one swing of bad luck result in a failed mission.

I'm looking forward to failing all weekend.

Hit probability from EU is still there. If two people target the same soldier and one hits while the other misses, it will always be like that. Did a test, had a ranger next to an alien and she missed with her sword, next trooper hit the target. Reloaded, trooper misses, ranger hits. Percentage doesn't matter

I can pretty safely say I managed to hit the same alien with two different soldiers in the same turn in Enemy Unknown multiple times.

Yeah, me too, as well I did just a few minutes ago. Though, I do play on easy if that makes any difference.
