I took the plunge, bought the game, and hated the first 4 hours of this game. I don’t enjoy effectively rogue-like RPG’s. The explanations for how stuff works are disconnected, and vague. Not knowing what you can and can’t do is infuriating. I fucking hate invasions, when I haven’t even learnt the nuances of combat yet. And even then, it seems they all come with fancy weapons, that I can’t seem to block or parry. The camera in dungeons, don’t always point in the right direction, and works on my left nut. I hate Boss fights. Oh, and this game IS a roll-away fest. For now I’m tolerating it, but still can’t say it’s my jam. I may just start over and try another class. This all in melee guy I chose is sucking, big time. I guess I’ll play it until Wonderlands drops.
I see jitter onscreen, in the open world, but it’s few and far between. Hasn’t happened when I’m fighting. Otherwise performance has been passable. 1440p, on default high? Only turned off blur. Also, why does it lock to only 60fps?
For the most part, the positive things reviewers have said, seems spot on: it looks amazing, combat mechanics and controls are tight, unique monster attack/defense techniques, exploring is almost Witcher 3 like, in how it just seamlessly unveils new places and things to see. All my negative things, come from a person, that has played maybe 1 hour of Dark Souls, and probably doesn’t like the genre in the first place. I will most likely drop this kak and go play something I truly enjoy next week. I thought, I would at least give it a few days, earnestly, to hook me. So we’ll see.
