Looks to be a meaty patch but I've dropped AH, I've been pretty excited for it every step of the way but playing it has completely put me off. Poor combat, character movement that feels slow and some really awful writing/VO have really let it down for me. I'm just glad it was on GP as I was completely prepared to drop cash on this day one.
@Decoy_Snake agreed, playing it through GP saved me some money and disappointment. Deleting this game brought me joy.
@Decoy_Snake is there away you can play it in russian with subtitles? Heard the russian writing doesn't come off as bad
@Sebatrox I'm glad to hear that, and that you enjoy it. I'll probably not revisit unless there is a complete/remaster edition down the line, as it just wasn't what I expected it to be. But the idea and the setting were very appealing to me.
Still having a weird love/hate relationship with this one.
Like I hate it...and then I make good progress and I like it again. Then I run into the same hurdles I complained about before, and then I make progress and I like it again.
It's almost like the whole game is a subliminal puzzle game that has multiple solutions to the problem, you just have to find it - the problem is, I just want to feel like a superhero doing it!
I hope this fixes the crashes I've been having (inventory and NORA) though I can't seem to see it in the fix list. Kinda the game's last chance with me.
Glad I’ve not started just yet.
Though after that patch it might be time to.
I just want the option to mute the protagonist. It’s hard to play a game when you dislike the character you are playing.
@Hexamex-Tex 100% agree. "Crispy Critters" makes my teeth itch.
@BRT15 Yes, that is how I played it. You will miss some story (or action) while playing. Especially if he is arguing during a fight. The VO is much better than the English dub. The subtitles can be small at times, too.
@Thebomber There is actually an explanation for "Crispy Critters" in the emails.
Glad to see this patch less than 24 hours after I completed the game. 😄
I got the MP Markov headshot achievement with the electric pistol.
"Fixed collisions in many places to prevent being stuck in an environment." That is huge.
How many patches/gb will this "finished" game need ?
@Sebatrox lol no doubt. These people realize the X only comes with 1tb ?
Anything here that’ll help with motion sickness? I’ve dropped the game cause it makes me feel ill everytime I play.
I liked the game I thought Atomic heart was worth my time for a playthrough
however Microsoft's big thing is day 1 releases and the state of current gaming Day 1 isnt actually best for playing games now you end up playing an inferior version of the game and effectively being punished for playing day 1
@Fenbops They introduced an FOV slider which should help. Also be sure to disable motion blur and other effects.
Personally I love this game, it manages to appeal to what I like about a lot of Bethesda games and series like Bioshock and Borderlands while having an identity of it's own. I initially found the dialogue a bit obnoxious and too American sounding, then I changed the language to Russian and that fixed everything, oddly enough you get completely different dialogue from the main character, where he is a lot more serious and focused, which better suits the game IMO. Still need to finish it, but I managed to get pretty far and I am still into it.
This is easily my favorite Gamepass title of the year so far.
