Bard's Tale The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep - Director's Cut

[Darth Roxor]

The loading times make me want to hang myself. Pretty sure it took like 10 minutes to load the level after chargen, and I'm not exaggerating.

It's unplayable at the moment , even on medium-high settings it drops under 45 and combined with the garbage fov it gives me a terrible headache, I mean jesus christ did they even played this game for more than 30 minutes ?

That's bullshit. What the fuck is "unplayable" supposed to mean? Yes, it's not very well optimized but it's far from being unplayable. Some people need to learn to chill instead of catastrophizing everything.

I've been playing the game for about an hour now and while it doesn't look like TW3, it's absolutely charming and fun so far.

I dont find anything charming and fun at sub 40 fps and low fov that makes me vomit after a couple of minutes, I'm sorry that your standards are up there with a plate full of shit.

Are UE4 games that hard to optimize? I thought it was a decent engine?

I'm getting about 45 fps on my i7 6700k and GTX 1080. Not just low FPS but very uneven with it. I hear people with a 1080 ti are not much better off.

It really needs some optimisation.

 

[Spiky]

Every game I look forward to ends up being shit. I should stop...

 

[Jimmious]

Man this generation of gamers has become a bunch of whiny bitches. I completely get people to be angry about crashes but to claim that you cant play a game because you get "below 60 FPS at Ultra" is beyond me.

 

[Parabalus]

How much worse than Dumpsterfire is this?

 

[taxalot]

Still haven't received my key but there's a Torrent out

Makabb?

Got my digital rewards email.

More than one .

Technical issues were already visible with the 15 FPS trailer, so I'm not sure how they can claim review bombing. Although in principle I kind of agree that disabling reviewes for first 3 days or something would probably reduce a lot of edgy trolling.

 

[taxalot]

I've been able to confirm and confirm and confirm the CrowdOx survey for like five times. For the time just now, I received a mail from CrowdOx confirming my GoG key was confirmed. Oh, well.

I just want to play Bard's Tale 1

What? Did they not fix the tunnel vision FOV?

EDIT: this should be patched now! FOV slider!

And here we go. This "trusted review" seems to have leaked out early: https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/bards-tale-iv-barrows-deep

If you’ve just learnt a new song, the part of the dungeon you’re in is going to be all about you using it

I can clearly remember Prime Junta complaining the same thing about Torment Tides of Numenera:

Tides' quests often have multiple resolutions, which sometimes have consequences down the line. The designs, however, are incredibly pat. If you need to find a bucketful of nanocrystal chicken teeth for the Grand Snord of Qweebloth, you can be sure that on the very same map, or at most the one right next to it, you will find a destitute merchant desperate to unload a shipment.

InXile never learns. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Email support@inxile.net, that's the fast(er) track to taking care of stuff like this.

Well, it's more than Deadfire!

On his 6000 dollar KickStarter funded rig.

FTFY.

Most of those negative reviews are about how people can't run the game. Restricting reviews in such way will be shitty and anti consumer. I see nothing wrong with review bombing a game that doesn't run. People could just read the reviews and see what are the problems,it is not like reviewers are lying about it.

Wouldn't a bigger FoV tank performance even more? Maybe this was deliberate to make the game runnable.

That would result in even lower fps

 

[Darth Roxor]

Performance gets much better when you leave the starter area/chargen. Dunno if it'll stay that way tho but I doubt it'll have a similar number of pointless NPCs standing around in the future too often. That entire intro scene is so weird in general, it's like wow suddenly inquisition run protag run.

Anyway, now that I've killed some bandits in the ssssssssssseeeeeeeewwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrssssssssss, game looks weird, but it could be fun. Stay tuned for more impreshuns at some later point.

[dragonul09]

Huh, those performance issues must have magically appeard as soon as they released the game, so unlucky for them, better tweet some obscure gaming site that praises the shit of my game first
