GreedFall - Gold Edition - new colonial-themed action-RPG from Spiders

[Yosharian]

Sad what the codex has become. Even in this age of pseudo RPG renaissance we have a game like this, an action adventure game with rpg elements exciting people. Yes it looks pretty, and it has stats and stuff but its single PC action-twitch based combat, in a retarded looking setting that makes little sense.

The Witcher really ruined everything; just because you have choices & consequences in cinematic dialogue actions, which often times break immersion due to how they are incorporated, does not make it an RPG.

Well, that's incredibly charitable. Good job.

It's called excitement fatigue.

This is not the first game from Spiders and, while they shown potential, neither one of their games was great or a complete package. In fact they were somewhat uneven experiences thanks to retarded design decisions like forcing backtracking, grind or bland content on the players (copy-paste is the simplest solution when you are out of ideas and you must delivers X hours of "entertainment").

That's why many people don't expect good stuff from Greedfall because they know that bad game design cannot and will not become stellar over night.

IT'S ALMOST HERE

The game can come out very problematic on the pc side. Large project , producer small.. (optimization, bug..etc) The minimum system requirements indicate this. Maybe we should wait.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

The minimum system requirements indicate this

• 
  Minimum:
  • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
    
  • OS: Windows 7/8/10 (64 bits)
    
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-3450 (3.1 GHz) / AMD FX-6300 X6 (3.5 GHz)
    
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
    
  • Graphics: 2 GB, GeForce GTX 660/Radeon HD 7870
    
  • Storage: 25 GB available space
    
  • Additional Notes: INTERNET CONNECTION REQUIRED FOR GAME ACTIVATION

u wot
Those CPUs/GPUs released 2 years before the PS4.

Early indications are that there are very few bugs. Of course this is always a risk with an RPG like this, but there's no reason to be overly sceptical. (The usual scepticism will suffice)

Gears 5 minimum specs

• 
  CPU: AMD FX-6000 series / Intel i3 Skylake
  GPU: AMD Radeon R9 280 or RX 560 / Nvidia GTX 760 or GTX 1050
  VRAM: 2GB
  RAM: 6GB

The problem is already there. The image of the game is not like gears 5. Greedfall wants too many systems. Let's wait and see.

gears 5 is a corridor simulator
if you like looking at small corridors with 3 objects total on the screen, then it will be the game for you

The game has a half-open world. (Gears 5) You can walk around even if it's not full. Anyway, I hope it performs smoothly and everyone plays with pleasure.

 

[fantadomat]

Anyone know when the first reviews will be released?

Once the codex gets its hands on the game

+6 months.

Ahhh if you wait for a front page review then yeah,but if you read the thread it will out in a few days. I always put a short review post once i finish a game.


Infinitron why did you let that retarded spamming troll Safav back?

I’m not sure this is even true. Gears 5 needs less RAM, but it also needs a better GPU—call it a wash. As for the processor, is a mid-tier core i5 from 2012 really better than a core i3 from 2015? I have no idea. They both run 4 threads even if the i3 does it with two cores. The slowest Skylake i3 is 3.6GHz, the CPU Greedfall calls for is 3.1GHz (does this shit even matter anymore?).

Optimization is important. Otherwise it is exposed to downgrade. This may not be a problem for a game with good graphics(AAA- Gears 5), but it can be a serious problem for a game with medium graphics(AA- GreedFall). (Last example: Bard's tale 4) Since the manufacturer with the AA chart cannot touch the chart, there is a risk that the game will remain problematic forever. The minimum/maximum systems of the game usually give hints about the state of the game. Greedfall needs 16gb of ram in its proposed system requirements. This is incredibly high. "Kingdom come:deliverance" wanted similar systems. (16 gb ram) Kingdom come:deliverance optimization problematic game. Hopefully greedfall not be such a game.
Friends who can't play Kingdom, so I recommend waiting.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Gears 4 was very optimized on pc, I expect gears 5 to be as well.

Concerning the discussion about the quality of spiders previous games... i played all of them but never managed to finish them. They have some interesting concepts in terms of setting, but the games are very front loaded in appeal, once the novelty of the setting wears off, the gameplay systems fail to retain player interest.

I expect much the same here, when I look at the gameplay videos, the crafting is the same, the customization, the combat flow, the character development.

 

[Reinhardt]

Iirc you can't play as lesbian in previous spider games so this time it's different.

 

[Reinhardt]

Btw funny how it's their first game where you can play as lesbian and suddenly all female companions are ugly. Really makes you think...

 

[HoboForEternity]

I dont remember any western game that lets you have good looking female hair. They seem too lazy to make and animate long hairs (maybe witcher games)


japanese games got them right tho. Like mhworld

 

[rusty_shackleford]

and suddenly all female companions are ugly.

Siora seems like a qt

 

[rusty_shackleford]

I'm guessing the main character is going to end up being a native or half-native. You have that weird growth on your face that only seems to also be present on the natives.

seems weird to send a half-native as your diplomat but alright

 

[InD_ImaginE]

You sure thats not just a weird looking beard style?

 

[rusty_shackleford]

You sure thats not just a weird looking beard style?

 

[rusty_shackleford]

The natives have that shit on them too:

Spoiler

 

[Grauken]

I think that's the plague

 

[rusty_shackleford]

I think that's the plague

Maybe?
There seems to be natives that look like they're made of wood
One of the enemies they feature repeatedly in the trailer looks like a big wooden beast

 

[toro]

That's Chort semen.

 

[polo]

Its the plague ur trying to cure i think-
