No, why would it be?

woot so not more than 2 hours we can start playing dy right?

Damn, the unpacking is taking quite a while. SSD don't have space anymore, so I am using the hard drive but it is slow lah.

Guys, report on how you find the game so far here

i am still downloading the game...

around 75% and still left around 7gb to download on my 2mb streamyx speed.. T.T

possible the game finish download and patched up after work

Downloaded the game and tried it out early morning before going off to work.

There seems to be some minor bugs at the start

1. When i just started the game, the resolution setting only had lower resolutions with only 1280 and 1368 available, this was fixed by exiting the game and relaunching it.

2. On my 970M GTX, i noticed that this game performs poorly compared to other titles. I can play shadow of mordor and MGS V with nearly all the settings up high at 60 FPS.
But this "tactical" game at max config just barely hits 40 FPS on idle, it dips below that when there is some action. I had thought with my RIG, it would be locked to 60 FPS. Mind you i had v-sync on which may have lowered the FPS count.

1. Snipers suck this time around. Grenadier is seriously good. Best weapon damage with 100% accuracy grenade area attack.
Also since there is no weapon fragments this time around, you can spam grenade all day every day, especially early on. Both weapon and grenade get corpse. If weapon attack only, sometime once in a while get loot.

2.Don't stand near cars during retaliation/terror mission. You will kena tiau kaw kaw.

Requirements for GPU quite high, surprisingly for a turn based game. On desktop this is still ok but on lappy it looks like you need a high-end gaming laptop to have decent performance. The recommended requirements is higher than a 970m.

maybe because no game ready driver released?

There won't be a game ready driver for this, neither from nvidia or AMD.

Game is just simply quite unoptimized right now.
Played for a couple of hours, on a single 980Ti at 1440p. Cannot hold 60fps with game maxed out, getting dips to 40s in the base/avenger. During gameplay, the action cam will tank the framerates down to 30s for whatever reason, everything is so judder-filled even with Gsync enabled.

Shadow quality, post process effects (DoF, ironically), and AA are the culprits.

Game is still awesome regardless. Also, it needs to be on SSD otherwise the amount of texture streaming is just freaking unbelievable (oh and the loading... ).

how can game sites give glowing recommendations then?? its high rating everywhere. i'm not gonna buy it then, wait for sales.

need angry joe to to tell the truth lol.

Eh, they've never been known for well performing games neither on PC or consoles. So, I expected Xcom 2 to perform mediocre. Just disappointed they haven't learn much about the meaning of optimizing over the last decade.


Because despite performance issues, the game is insanely fun, intense, exhilarating and addictive. It's still playable, just not at a level where it should have been better.

*EDIT*
I'm spending more time creating characters for the char. pool than actually playing the game lol.

So this game worth buying now or wait? How about the MP? Is MP nice?

People barely even scratched the surface. Hell, everyone I know still busy tinkering with their custom characters instead of even doing the tutorial. MP impressions will have to wait.

If you like xcom, you will like this. Nicer graphics and better game mechanics imho.

Just finished the game.
Shorter than the first game if you remove all the loading times.
With loading time, it's the same.

Finished Veteran Ironman with no loss of personnel whatsoever.
I have to thank my rangers for that feat.

wow that's fast, how many hours of gameplay?
