X1. Haven't had that many issues so far for the game itself, but for some reason, Gat is unplayable.
On PS4 Pro, it seems to run around 60fps when you are indoors and 30fps when you are outside. The framerate is variable in both instances and obviously so you if you stop and pan the camera to try and notice it, but it's surprisingly not distracting to me when you are actually playing. I think the motion blur solution they went for here helps smooth it out quite a bit. I tried turning it off but it made the framerate drops more apparent.

Was Gat as DLC only available for Pc and steam preorders?

Played the first two missions last night (until you deploy back into the city). Framerate hung around 30-40 fps, but never dropped below 30. I downgraded the visuals to 720 and it ran consistently at 60 fps. At least in my case it looks like it's my graphics card rather than the game. Time to upgrade!
He's only GameStop exclusive in America. Everybody else regardless of platform got him just from preordering iirc.

Not sure how X1 handles DLC, but I'd try and remove it and redownload it if possible.
He's really damn fun and has the most OP Mayhem ability.

Lame, most search results only list PC and Steam a few said Gamestop but listed PC and Steam still guess he will be $3-$5 in a month or so.
Good info, I'll be Pro-ing it, too. Sounds fine.

The pc has often dips into 50fps on a 1080ti. Hopefully patches will iron it out.
At first I hated this game. But a few hours in it really has its hooks in me. Dont get me wrong, the story, humor and dialog still sucks but the combat is AMAZING. Reminds me a lot of Crackdown, including the traversal. In the end I would say this game is a buy. No preformance problems at all. Playing on a PC with a 1060, 8 gb ram and i5 3.2 Ghz on high settings.

I'm enjoying it so far in my brief amount of play. The city could be liviler but the combat is alot of fun and I like the characters. Running fine on my pc.

How do do you equip schematics? (Legion tech)

Yeah the open part of the game seems pretty sterile, but it's mostly just a hub to get to activities and missions so it's mostly fine

Finding out why Hollywood is on Mayhem makes him the biggest douche in the world.
Oh? I will.
As a matter of fact I should interact with all the items in the Ark.
Also I finally unlocked Daisy. Oh my god, she's the best.
No, but there are core shards. Collect 10 to create an core upgrade. Each character has three core upgrades that consume a core upgrade.
Far fewer than orbs, but still enough to get you exploring. Plus there are loot chests everywhere that have cash, materials for upgrades and items and skins.

Think "as well hidden" but without that granular ability enhancement...but still as rewarding? Think less "more orbs = jump higher," more "more crystals = more huge Agent buffs."
Shit, with Crackdown 3 delayed til next year, any Crackdown 3 hopefuls would probably be OK with this, I'd think.

Daisy is a fucking beast. Goddamn.
They really need to patch some of the performance issues.
Also would it have killed them to make the dungeon layouts different...
Like I guess Legion's interior decorator had a one track mind.
Steel. Long Hallways. Industrial. Electricity. Rinse. Repeat.

The game is very mediocre, but I am having fun with it! Above average 3rd person open world combat, at least.
But it´s weird that before taking on a mission you have to always go and complete three random tasks around the map, THEN the mission unlocks to control the new agent? wtf...

So far so good. Like the art direction and gameplay is basically dumb fun (but not as fun as Saints Row). The uniqueness of the agents is also welcome. Color me surprised, was not hyped at all for this game, then again I rented it 
Just did...
Daisy should be the official AOM mascot. GOAT.
I'm also not really minding the repetition of the missions. Combat is so fun that murdering waves of LEGION goons never gets old.
Only 20% done with the game so far but it is actually really enjoyable. Feels like a Volition game of course, but I love the fact you get to choose who you want to play as for specific missions. And each new Agent I unlike I seem to like them more and more. And the overall atomosphere of the game is really nice.
My biggest complaint right now is when driving a car and you hit max speed, the sound and audio of the engine "repeats" infinitely and it sounds incredibly annoying and awkward. Oh, and the performance is crappy on Xbox One. Sometimes it is smooth, other areas it is 20fps.

Saw this on the store. Watched the trailer again. Saw a 2nd trailer that looked suspiciously like gameplay. Watched a stream and saw a damn slick looking game and a surprise 4th class...
Came to see if there was an OT... learned it is single player only. Pretty shocked... i dont see the point of a class-based single player game. But i see the squad mechanic and i find that imteresting...
I was hoping this was the Overstrike we never got... sure damn looked like it.

Enjoying this way more than I thought I would. It's fun to just move around. I also like that every character seemingly has unique dialog for every main mission.

Any tips on finding loot boxes in lairs? I have the scanner upgrade to see them but I still never seem to find them.

Yeah if this was a single character game it might get tiring, but the combat is so fun and the characters are varied enough that it really carries it

Is there a way to change the difficulty without going into the Ark?
Neuromancer

When you die you get an option to lower it, at least.
Just beat the first boss. Died a fair amount since I increased the difficulty by two and my team is a bit paper when it comes to armor (outside of yeti). Good stuff.
So far though, the lairs are repetitive in design.

That's the truth right there.
Try all of the doors. Some doors that seem like they should be locked will actually open.
I'm having a lot of fun. I wanted a game to relax and do Mayhem (bear with me).
I did notice a few dips here and there but where kind of minimal on PC I expect this to be patched later on to iron out those issues.
I enjoyed SR4 and Gat out of Hell on a random gift by my family so I thought why the hell not for this game and I'm really glad I did.

Yep
I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't that.
Damn that is annoying.
Which odd since in the character livestreams the devs could switch difficulties on the fly via console commands.

Hey this game is actually really fun. Just built my so-far favorite team.
Some hilarious glitches though. If you summon your car and your character gets into it while its clipping through another car, they physically merge and the game can't fucking deal. It caused my car to start doing lightspeed barrel rolls into the air until the car it attached to took enough damage and exploded. I wish I had some recording software going because I laughed so fuckin hard.
EDIT: Holy crap I think I can recreate it. Cause a traffic jam, summon car, stand in circle with another car...

Does the balance seem really off on the difficulty to anyone else? The higher levels of difficulty seem to make the enemies huge bullet sponges and they even melt hard tack in a couple of seconds. I'm surviving on them but it seems like it's not really worth the extra experience

Anyone find it weird that there's no air-to-ground melee attack? And the fact you can't shoot or charge a weapon without jumping interrupting it is weird too.
Other than those things I'm really having a good time.

I think it's a thing about differentiating characters. I haven't unlocked them all, but I've noticed I can do things like airdash/wallclimb with some and not with others. I wonder if someone has a ground smash or something.

Really been enjoying this so far. The dialogue could be better but I am liking the variety in characters and the combat is too much fun and man their vision of Seoul is great. Really loving the city design and how they didn't shy away from using bright colors. Also using Daisy is too much damn fun.

Alright so I have been completely turned off of the game from the jump but with the announcement of Crackdown's delay, I'm feeling hungry for a superpower power trip game.
If I'm looking for...
- [a] fair amount of visual environmental destruction
- interesting traversal mechanics
- satisfying combat
And I dislike...
- crafting and loot mechanics
- Saint's Row 3 & 4 style of humor
- boring, stagnant open worlds
Will I be happy here? I'd be playing on the Pro so a decent visual presentation and solid performance earns some credit too.
