Oh dear. Battling with my PC and some FFXIV it is then... though i may put an hour into GreedFall if i'm still awake enough at midnight. I've a touch of insomnia lately so it's more than likely i will play for a bit.

They're streaming the game at the moment on their twitch channel
I hope my 970 doesnt explode. Doesnt meet the "recommended" specs!
On the hype train along with all of you guys. Combat looks interesting but what really gets me is the world and atmosphere.
Neat, there's like a respec option drop thingy so you don't get permanently locked into stuff if you hate it or want to try other things according to the stream
Steam says this is gonna unlock in 5 hours... Which means I will definitely play it today.
Pre-loading.
I'm so weak. 2-4 animated gifs and I take out my wallet.

How big is the preload? I tried to install from the steam app from work but it keeps crashing...I think my library is too big.
That stream was preeetty cool
But they kind of ignored all of the questions that were different
Don't see how you can answer "you cant jump" 12 different times in 12 different ways or why does the game look bad in in the stream "Well its because we're streaming it"

Just watching the stream now and holy moly that city looks gorgeous. I've only seen the forestry stuff so very surprised with how detailed and well lived in the city area looks!
Cant believe im actually wanting a game by Spiders. Will this finally be the game to push them out of that 50-60 metacritic slump?
Fuck it... I'm risking it ... bought. Every impression so far has been positive and on paper is exactly what I want on a game these days.
Now to spend hours trying to decide which class to play

Let me know how it goes. That’s what I’m rocking, too.
OT got me hyped and now I have to stay up until midnight to read all the reviews 
Fuck it, I bought the game on GMG for a small discount. The positive impressions from people playing it early was enough to make me break out my wallet. I can deal with a bit of jank. I'm thinking of being a warrior/gunslinger combo, focusing on pistols.
This game wasn't on my radar at all until today. It looks pretty dang cool not gonna lie.
Guys, the game is currently hitting Top 10 on Twitch with 44k viewers!
Spiders might have finally hit the mark

Not really saying much, ELEX also hit 1st place for a while. But definitely hope it will help sales.Guys, the game is currently hitting Top 10 on Twitch with 44k viewers!

The RPG market is in a pretty different place than it was in Fall 2017. I don’t think this is going to hit BioWare levels or anything, but it could be the step that takes them to a more secure AA position if impressions are positive.
I’m crossing my fingers.
Fanatical has greedfall for 13% off for the next hour + and I have a coupon for another 10% off that applies to it making it 39$ (At least for USA) if someone wants the coupon, I can't afford it at the moment but the discount on fanatical only lasts for a little

Just figured I'd offer while it's available, send a PM or quote me or something

Hey! Don't bad mouth Elex it was awesome
I think His Majesty was saying that for games like this Twitch views don't necessarily mean sales, at least i hope so. Otherwise, grrrrrrrr, bad mouthing ELEX...
I do hope that some of the people watching Twitch convert to sales though!

It's in a strange state for me Store says Play but then pops up "Not released" and my Library says Pre-Loaded.
It's on it's way!
edit: as Dandy says, it's started extracting for me! 23:09 exactly when the Download manager said.

With all there is to do, I may be only about halfway through this behemoth of an RPG. But I’m enjoying myself just about every step of the way. The Technomancer was disappointing, but I still wanted to see other games try the ambitious things it was attempting with more success - GreedFall delivers on that promise. There are still glitches, awkward character models, immersion-breaking re-use of assets, and an overall lack of polish that keep it from threatening Geralt’s crown, and I’ll need to find out how the story wraps up before I can pass final judgment on it. But I can already say this is going to be a crowd-pleaser for those of us who still shake our canes and talk about how the genre peaked a decade ago. We may have to eat our words before long.

Greedfall is a blemished but imaginative and choice-filled gem that harkens back to some of our favorite western RPGs.

Badmouth ELEX? One of the first topics ever created on Reset Era was my ELEX shill topicHey! Don't bad mouth Elex it was awesome
ELEX is one of the best RPGs of 2017
This game may have flown under the radar for a lot of people but in my opinion it is one of the best games of this year. ELEX is a game created by Piranha Bytes, famous for their Gothic and Risen games. The game reintroduces a lot of aspects that made Gothic 1 and 2 such great games...

I'll admit it. The gifs definitely sold me on the game. Will be picking it up soonish
I've played an hour, solved two side quests (both of which weren't what they seemed to be at first glance) and am thoroughly enjoying my time with the game so far. That Kurt companion seems to have a very angry face though
That was funny

Damn. The game is currently sitting at 11k concurrent players. Significantly more players than Spiders other titles Mars War Logs (1.4k), Technomancer (1.8k) and Bound by Flame (2.5k) peaked at.
Seems like this is going to be Focus Interactive's best performing PC release of the year (They only published World War Z on console, not pc. So that doesn't count) unless The Surge 2 does even better or unless Farming Sim 20 comes to PC (Currently only announced for Switch?) because Farming Simulator is a BEAST.

GreedFall - Steam Charts
An ongoing analysis of Steam's player numbers, seeing what's been played the most.
So far the game is very interesting. There are a lot of things to do in the first area, so I am still just running around doing random quests and exploring. The game seems pretty polished as far as Eurojank is concerned, but the overall graphics are a bit outdated and the lip sync isn't too hot. These haven't detracted from my enjoyment so far at least though. Turning the HUD to minimal in the settings allows you to still walk up to a street sign for directions and it feels much more immersive this way.
you're on the list!
I'm joking, link away!
Any word on performance? The Tech Support forum on Steam Community is already on page 3. I'd rather have you folks' takes than the peanut gallery.
It's holding 60fps at 1080p on a 1070/4770k/16gb win10 setup. I'm still on the starting city though (doing side quests).you're on the list!

Thanks. Unlocked framerate, or hardlocked to 60fps? Earlier reports said there were stutters in the city. I assume the framepacing is consistent in your rig?
I locked the game to 60fps (vsync) but you can disable the lock. It was consistent for the most part, I experienced a drop to 56fps (according to the Steam overlay, I don't usually run other performance graphs things unless I'm having trouble and need to identify the culprit) when first encountering an area that had a ton of fire. It didn't happen again when I returned to that area though, so maybe it was another thing. Otherwise, solid 60fps all the way so far.
Edit: I got to the second city (which seems to be bigger) and I'm experiencing drops to the 50s now (frequently too, sadly). Dunno what causes them, I assume my fire theory was wrong.

Still in the starting city, but my impressions so far are:
- While textures are not great, I'm LOVING the visual direction
- Combat is fast and fluid, but not great either, loving the emphasize on dodging and parrying
- LOTS of quests already, and they offer multiple ways to complete
- Lots of cutscenes and conversations, even with unimportant characters in side quests
- Voice acting is great, but the lip-sync left a lot to be desired
- Menu navigation is a bit confusing at times, there's main tab and sub-tab with different buttons
- No shortcut for map as far as I know, and I need to open it quite often
- The game runs great on my modest PC with everything maxed out, but I heard that it gets more demanding later
At least on PS4, the Map shortcut is to hold the button that brings up the menus. Instead of showing you all the menus with skills and codex stuff, takes you directly to the map. I assume there must be a similar keybind on PC.
Ah, that should be it then. I didn't think of holding the buttons and I've tried everything.
I mostly kept re-making my character. Not ginger enough.... WOAH! Too ginger.
My framerate bounces between 38-52. Not great, but my video card isn't exactly top of the line.
So far I agree with everyone else. Art direction is good, VA is above average, lip sync is not great, combat is fine.
I feel like I don't really get playing a mage in this game... I seem to run out of mana before an enemy is even dead. What am I supposed to do after that? Run around until Kurt finishes them off?
