MODERATORS
Seen few videos about this, the game seems like decent-ish action adventure with Vampires, less like a rpg.
Might pick this one up when it gets to -50% sales or so.
edit: from the user reviews:
but seems like it can be circumvented, at least peeps with gog version seem to be doing so.
... oh ffs.
they didn't detail what this means.
EDIT: for clarity, it's amazing that motionblur/fow are not available options. Wasn't criticizing the review, these are valid points.
But I'd like to know what accessibility options were omitted as well.
I love the unhinged top review that reads like the game personally insulted the author.
ye. they tend to be.
Kinda funny that the review header states they had 0.1 hours in the game at review time - so they knew exactly what they were getting, still bought it - and have played over 9 hours after it. Like.. why?
Just to get early in with the rage reviews and farm steam reactions?
huh, didn't notice that.
What's wrong with not being able to turn off motion blur being a deal-breaker?
up to personal taste, to me it's mostly about implementation. All motion blur isn't terrible, but when it's terrible, it's really bad. Some older games had really odd stepping in it, or everything had a trailing blur of same length regardless of how fast the objects were moving, or motion blur is calculated at different fps/shutter speed than the game runs so the blur is either too long/short/fucky.
Mostly I'm about the fov being the dealbreaker here. My eyes start to hurt with narrow fov's, feels like I'm straining something somehow. I usually go with something between 90-100, 110 in some rare cases.
edit:
oh, maybe I misunderstood the question: I mean, I agree it's a dealbreaker. Just "FFS"'ing because it's not an option.
Apologies, I misunderstood your comment. :)
Yes, I largely agree, although I generally can't stand motion blur at all.
No worries, my comment was a bit ambiguous.
