It took about 3.5 years, but now it's actually coming out in less than two weeks. I'm really excited to see what people think of it and it has been cool watching streamers react to the demo. Somehow my two story tall tree guy is really good at sneaking up on people. :D

Consider me intrigued.

Why the f I see vertical gameplay of someone playing 16:9?

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ahh, a game dedicated to being a stealth archer, fuck yeah, I'm in.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I know right. He knew that was the best way to play Skyrim. This game looks bad ass.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I never used any ranged weapon in the game, did I miss out?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

If you like being OP, definitely.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

There were other ways to successfully play base Skyrim??

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Stealth and daggers backstab could also eliminate having to interact with the actual combat of the game, making for a better experience.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

Yeah, but...that sounds like effort. Much easier to slap a stabby bit on the end of a stick and only occasionally accidentally kill a random goat.

I played the demo for a few hours. Might be a solo dev, but his experience is definitely noticeable. Game looks great, albeit unoptimized. Progression is simple and fair. Artwork is incredible for a solo dev. Combat is decent, and unexpectedly satisfying.

Someone else mentioned the excessive blood explosion - it’s the best feeling when you land one of those shots from across a field.

GPU: 4 GB VRAM GeForce GTX 980/Radeon RX 580

Dammit, my iGPU has more than enough computing power but only half of the VRAM.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

iGPU's can use system RAM to supplement VRAM. Might still be doable

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

Right, i forgot about that. A bios setting, right?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

I believe so

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

back in the day I had an ATI system that shared system ram through the iGPU to the GPU(both ATI). turned my 2gb GPU into 4gb and saved me from building a new system for like a decade.

not sure if they do it anymore, but it'd be nice.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There is a demo, so you can see if it will run well enough for you before you buy it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

a demo in this day? dev knows what's up

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Remember getting demo discs in magazines? Great times

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

as a poor kid living in the sticks demo discs were the only way I could play many games.

if it weren't for them, I would have never gotten into games, nor computers, nor my career that has elevated my QOL.

could say demo discs saved my life from many hardships.

Looks interesting, but the music should hit WAY harder, IMO. Based on the visuals, I was expecting early 2000s Opeth, and I got late 2010s Opeth instead.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (15 children)

The music is all written by a member of ISIS, which is pretty heavy, but in an "atmospheric sludge/post-metal" way. So I can see how you'd think that if you're looking for something more death metal (which would fit in the fight scenes, although atmospheric sludge or funeral doom would go pretty well in the rest of the game)

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Oh snap thanks for pointing this out! Been a long time and I haven't kept up with ISIS, but their Panopticon was damn near genre-defining for me at the time.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Not really all that related, but if you like Panopticon by ISIS, you might also appreciate the best Appalachian atmospheric black metal I've ever heard, Kentucky by Panopticon.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago

Now find more metal by a band Kentucky

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Buddy, "Appalachian atmospheric black metal" is a weird combination of words I've never seen before and I'm stoked to give it a whirl. Praise Satan for keeping metal interesting.

[–] vulgarcynic 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Add Blackbraid to that list as well. Amazing one man native black metal from the Adirondack region.
