There is no more demo on steam.
I will watch some wanker play and wank at the same time if I want, thank you.

Can't wait for more of your 'posts' in the OT for a game that you never played. You're genius!

797 reviews with these criteria:
- purchased on Steam
- played above 10 hours
95%, Overwhelmingly Positive.
But no, let's get in the thread and post some stupid shit about streamer playing the game like we're 10 years old and our mother allowed us to watched YouTube Kids for half an hour so we shut the fuck up and not bother her.

So the thread is allowed only for people who bought the game? Or for those who played it? how many hours or trophies one must have to post here?
Where are the rules? Will I get banned? Afaik I've posted ABOUT THE GAME.
Well he is EXTREMELY enthusiastic about the game. He says it's janky but excellent. In a good way.
he didn't say that exactly. I paraphrased.
You know, when robocop says "your son is dead, that is all, thank you" he burst out laughing because this is weird line to say with bad voice acting lol.
I mean - it is clearly a janky game. Not that it ever was a problem. And it crashed on him and stutters. But that's anecdotal at best.
Performance doesn't matter to me too much.
Again - It's a game I will buy for sure. Just not sure what platform yet. And if I got it tomorrow, I would not play it for weeks anyway. This is a backlog game 100% for me.

It's clear as day that you have nothing to say. Why even bother.
He clearly do not understand the source material. He's part machine. Empathy is not his strong suit. Bad voice acting? Are you serious?

This is exactly what the thread is for. Posting stuff about the game. Jeff Gerstmann is a well known reviewer and he praised the game... so what is your problem again?
The game is clear AA jank city. But that's the charm of it. Robocop was never the pianist lol. And robocop game shouldnever be tlou.
You are awfully defensive about this game for no reason.
Where were you when immortals of Aveum came out? It's about the same class of game

The voice acting for Robo is fuckin perfect because its LITERALLY Peter fucking Weller.
It is a funny line though. There's a bunch of them, especially coming from him. The deadpan delivery is half of it.

Not robocop voice acting. The criminals at the police station are awfully funny.
And yes. He understands the source material. he is a big robocop fan lol.
It's about the delivery. It's a comedy. It's funny as robocop delivers sad news in this robotic voice. ITS GOOD. learn to read
not robocop. The civilians, sorry

Yeah some of the voice acting is def corny and sometimes questionable, but thats usually what you get with small team AA action. Personally I find that it adds a lot of charm to the game. Terminator was the same way.

Fits 80s action movies esthetic rather nicely. Peter Weller is so good in this game.

Weird. I was on a 3080 with everything on Ultra and had no issues with stuttering or pop-in. I DID experience a random bug once that sent my FPS into chug mode, but I relaunched and it was all good.

Have you based your opinion on a streamer playing? Are you paraphrasing?

Exactly.
They fucking nailed the humor, already laughed out loud a couple of times and I'm still in the first open area doing side quests.
Weller performance is chef kiss in this. Loving the game as a whole obviously, and it feels so damn fresh to play for hours a new game without spotting obvious agendas all over the place. Priceless.
After reaching the first open area, game is clearly not locked 60fps on PS5 either, and some pannings in cutscenes stutters visibly.
I personally don't care, don't want them to downgrade the game because I've read that's what they did to deliver better performances on the Demo. Feels good to play and looks great.

Part of the reason this might just be my #1 for the year. It's truly a shut your brain off to the world and enjoy the game type game without any present day bullshit socio political interference. And it's sad that this sort of experience is so rare nowadays.

The amazing thing about Teyon is that they're a very dedicated and passionate AA studio, clearly. I mean, you can see it in their work in more ways than one. It's pretty sad to see people compare them to AAA studios/games with much larger budgets and teams, because it's obvious that there's a discrepancy there.
I think the biggest glaring "issue" revolves around facial animations, I'm sure some will say the voice work too. But honestly I felt like that kind of fit the whole 80's/90's schlock schtick.
But between the gameplay, the visuals, and then some. It's special that a game like this can outperform many modern AAA games in a number of ways.
I'd LOVE to see them get a larger budget.

Well, faces could use some (a lot) of work. Voice acting is great in the context of the game. It just fits right in.
And why nobody is talking about this AMAZING piece of music. Such a great theme.

Keep that open world stuff away from games like this. There's an abundance of them already.
I'm just glad some people have the ability to recognize and identify stuff like this in a game. Its a shame most don't and tend to do a shallow scan. Its no wonder the big budget games are pretty as can be, but shallow as a puddle in every other department in most cases.

I think 11 or 12 hours for me to get 1000/1000 GS and I only needed to clean up two achievements that took maybe ten minutes, tops.
It comes in, is great, and is over before it gets too stale.

Sorry, I've meant a bigger hub area with ability to drive around, not an open world city.

True! Man, the Robocop theme is a theme that will randomly pop into my head from time to time, so it clearly stuck with me since I was a kid (I loved Robocop a LOT). Hearing it here and the different renditions was SO damn good. I got goosebumps in the demo when it kicked in at the beginning of the game, haha.

I always confuse it and the Terminator main them, both very similar, both give me those nostalgia feels
So a good 8 hours in and really enjoying this, it does make me crave a new Judge Dread game in this vain as well, hell give me a Dread vs Death remake, that game was awesome

To those who finished it: is it possible to fully upgrade all skills? I just did the first free roaming city section and fully upgraded the deduction skill to get the 30 percent xp increase. What others do you recommend?
protonion

I also maxed deduction first for the exp bonus.
I couldn't max everything at the end but I missed several exp opportunities.
Combat, vitality, armor and engineering.
I wouldn't bother with the rest.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Deduction is a must. If you're going for a platinum or 1000G run, get Engineering perk 2 to hack things.

Bro. Focus. You need the bullet time.

Honestly, I didn't end up using that at all.
The health ones, especially the perks which let you get free health from the electronic boards, are great cause it's extra free health packs.
Combat + speccing the right gun mods can practically make it so that you never need to bother with a secondary weapon at all. Your auto-pistol is basically a gattling gun.

First console comparison. Looks like another case like AW2 where the Series X seems to be much more stable in the performance mode.
Let's see if other comparisons say the same.

Xbox has more compute and higher memory bandwidth, probably the reason .

I threw a metal trash container and it set off the mines. Easy peasy.
And listen to the bleeps. You can walk around the first part of water with mines by following a dirt path.

This game is a bit longer than I was expecting,
Just past the Prison Riot
Although I do have a question, why the fuck would I use any other gun than the Auto-9, this thing destroys enemies with the later PCB upgrades (I really, really like the puzzle part of those upgrades, it works so well)

Yeah I dont know. My Auto-9 currently has full auto and no reload. It rips through anything!
I only found out yesterday after playing the 2nd playthrough on my 4K tv that the game was set to performance.
Switched to Quality and HOLY SHITBALLS!!!! Now I HAVE to start over AGAIN!
And that mine thing, yeah sneaky af.

Ah finally got all the Tophies for it. I don't do it often for games but this is one of the few I felt I had to. I have zero doubt this is my GOTY. So far this studio hasn't done a sequel to a game that I've seen but man I would give anything for a sequel to this game. I just can't say it enough. They 100 percent nailed what a RoboCop game should be. They've singlehandedly revived this franchise.

This game man..
Alien got a great game.
Terminator got a great game.
RoboCop got a great game.
Either that of Predator, but I'd prefer JP honestly.
Yeah that's what I was talking about, I'm fine with the Performance on PS5 because I don't want them to downgrade the game.
Xbox version is missing all lights in the distant and not-so-distant buildings, reason why there was that discrepancy in this regard with the PC version in the earlier comparison posted.
I'll be for damn sure replaying the physical version of this game on most performant machines in the future so I truly hope they keep it as is. Hell, don't even want John to release a comparison in fear of Teyon bringing visuals and resolution on par with the Xbox version for more stable performances in those few sections.
I need a damn horror Jurassic Park.They need to do Aliens. A proper LV426 ALIENS!

One thing that made me crack up was the mission with Lewis before the Steel Mill
Lewis: "What was your contacts name, Gurkin or something?"
Robo: "Pickleeeesssss"

It transported me to the time of Xbox 360 and games I enjoyed playing. Its a sleeper hit and my potential GOTY. Thank you GAF for bringing this gem to my attention, after a lot of shitty high profile releases, I thought gaming is no longer for me, I was wrong.

Great to see 60fps modes that put some effort into actually being 60fps, after a few releases we got I was beginning to wonder. Looks like XSX stays well within the VRR/Freesync range in the moments when it drops, nice!
Not all that familiar with this channel though, I guess we'll see if there is consensus with these results soon.
