Brilliant game worthy of the PC communities money. Keeping games like this PC exclusive ensures the game brings everything to the table hardware wise..

9.5/10 (the .5 will be made up with patches)

If this game had a bonus level where we could kill millions of console owners it would be perfect..

The game would be better if it downloaded from steam at faster than 50KB/s

GoG suprised me preloading at 2.0MB/s, maxing my connection. Thought it would've been congested and I've only used it for <1Gb games before. Tick of approval.

edit -Christ, if only it installed as quickly as it downloaded :evil: But still.... SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

edit 2 - had to manually copy my W1 savegames to my new OS mydocs to get them to import.... 3.9GB? SERIOUSLY?

I left the PC on over night while i was at work but i get home and it was only at 59% :cry:

Oh well restarted steam and now dawdling along at 600kb/s, should be ready in about 2 hours. Time for a quick nap ZZzzz.

Anyone have any performance issues?
What hardware/setting/FPS etc.

I'm not having performance issues. Ultra runs pretty **** for me, but high looks just as good and has a good frame rate.

Dunno about all this GoG stuff. But then the fact I cant afford digital distribution because of my isolated location and buying Australian retail happens to be cheaper obviously affects my purchase options.

(Dont care about the so called censorship btw.)


Wow... retail stores must be cheap where you live.

I got a downloadable copy from GoG for $44... your store sells new games for $30 or something?


Maybe he has really bad internet. Like Satelite or something.


This. I cant wait to move back to the city lol.

I occasionally get REALLY low fps in cutscenes / dialogue / qte mode..... it'll either be like 10fps throughout, or fix itself within a few minutes. :C

This game is really amazing... awesome locations and environments, absolutely stunning.

Ultra enables tessellation, that's why it runs like a dog.

You can just disable "ubersampling" in advanced options and it fixes it right up.
