Yup Im trying to tell my brother that no, its not a female uncharted game.

There's some serious optimization issues with tressfx/tessalation on nvidia cards. One dude on neogaf is running dual titans and still getting fucked up frames and animations with tressfx. Nvidia said drivers won't come out til later this month. There's a 30ish page thread over on neogaf about the mess. Runs fine for me on ultimate until I hit a cutscene, then it dips. I don't think the game is as graphic card intensive as it seems, just shitty optimizations.

If tressfx was a more realistic tit animation, it'd be worth the dip in fps. Hair, whatever....

**Salodin** · 2013-03-06 20:31

I didnt hear about tressfx until after launch. Is all its used for is hair?

**Krandor** · 2013-03-06 20:38

Yeah, hair onry. For all the talk they were making about it, I was expecting something more elegant and less resource intensive. It more or less seems to be providing the kind of frame rate drag you would expect turning the hair into that many individually modeled strands, if not more.

**Salodin** · 2013-03-06 20:44

Eh. Until its optimized ill skip on it.

Does the benchmark work for any one? I try to run it once in awhile but it always fails to initialize.

Did anyone expect an AMD feature to be optimized for nVidia cards?

It stresses out AMD cards as well. It's not really an "AMD feature," just a Directcompute function that AMD had a hand in and threw out the advertising for. This ties in with the Nvidia 600 series having dick for Directcompute functionality, but it's not optimized for anyone.

hopefully it doesn't mess up me calling Uncharted 'Dude Raider' because I really like doing that

Maxed out weapons look pretty freaking cool, especially the rifle, even if I never use it.

Game done with 71% completion after about 16 hours. Was hoping for longer, but I suppose I'll 100% the game and get another 6-10 hours out of it.

Never use the rifle? Hmm, interesting...

I actually pretty much only use the bow and the rifle.

I always stick to the bow if possible cause fuck it that's why, and swap over to pistol if I just don't have time to charge arrows. Pretty much exclusively go for headshots, and the rifle just sprays too goddamn much to be reliable.

If shit starts getting hairy up close I'll usually whip out the shotty. Especially at max level w/ the drum magazine you can just mow thru shit with it.

The rifle is accurate as hell in TR. Not to mention, you 'can' just tap the trigger/button and pop out a single round or do burst fire.
I get headshots just fine with the rifle and in some of the situations where you're getting swarmed and don't have as much time to line up a shot it actually is easier to spray and pray near the head section.

Usually a quick headshot. Not to mention the alt fire is grenades...

Solid game. Climbing onto the table there at an angle will clip you right through the wall. If the wall was solid on the other side, the only way to get back would be to jump off the cliff.

At the building east of the fast travel camp at Mountain Village, if anyone cares.

The alt fire was nice for awhile until I scored the grenade arrows, which are so much more convenient since I don't have to deal with trying to find the range on the grenade launcher.

This game is an honest surprise, having so much fun stealth killing people with the bow, shooting some fucker in the face and making him fall off a bridge so his buddy doesnt even know he's there. Pretty fun stuff. the QTE in the start were kind of annoying since I didnt know you had to hit F in the circles and E for...w/e E is for lol.

**Gokulo** · 2013-03-07 02:03

I actually had some issues where some bars and the wires you need to destroy with shotgun disappear depending on the angle of your camera. Pretty annoying.

Also, bow is badass and too much fun to pass.
