The other 2 episodes are much better for the visuals, better than the base game in ways too. I notice the shadows are higher fidelity now, not sure if that has something to do with the updated DLSS files for RR/SR and FG (I manually updated to 3.7 and 3.7.1 and am using Preset E for everything)...
It's a bit garbage. The Aston handles well and sounds good, That is where the good stuff ends as far as I'm concerned:

The fact that you get all that bad frametime and stuttering even with a controller is menacingly annoying.
Yup just completed episode 1, probably do 2 and 3 tomorrow. Good fun, although it reminded me one of the reason I did not like AW2 in terms of artistic styling, the colour grading is washed out most of the time, some areas like the house's living room you first encounter looks fine, but other...
Played a bit, refunded. It's not really for me, runs well and looks as good as it can through the lens of a bodycam but it only has FSR/TSR, no DLSS means poorer upscaling/AA efficiency. And the control "lag" by design of the POV the camera is means it's not really fun after the novelty of...
I'm at chapter 5 now, 1 chapter until finished. The cinematics get better later on in the game which was a surprise since they were already amazing. And the fact that this is running so fast means the future of UE5.4+ at 3440x1440 is very strong and I'm more than happy to keep the 4090 in...
Have you considered one of the later model HiFiMANs? smooth punchy and fun but still incredible detail and range would put the Ananda Nano right in your sights I'd say.
I got the Voarmaksmemory foam velour pads for mine today, at under £20 for the pads they are amazing value for the quality of...
I have KEF speakers so have the Uni-Q point-source driver setup which works miracles for surround sound stereo imaging in games like this. Those whispers sound surreal and immersive. I have planar headphones but they are currently sat on my desk with some epoxy curing as I modded the headband...
Using DLDSR at 5160x2160 the 4090 really gets a workout. At max settings it's 56fps using DLAA, with DLSS Quality it rises to 85fps average with the high 90s in other areas. That's with frame gen off. I notice that with the mouse I can tell there's input latency when using either frame gen so...
It's not a huge issue once you use DLAA for example but in cutscenes it's always there, and there seem to be many cutscenes lol. In gameplay it can easily be ignored (so far).
Played the first 45 mins and just reached Castle Kenada. Very very impressive, the combat is actually intuitive once you do the tutorial section and learn the parry/doge and other bits of sword smithery.
I may not refund this after all lol.
Technical observations:
ALL rendering methods...
Endgame XM2we here and it's awesome, lightweight and the battery lasts ages. No need to install companion apps but there is a utility that doesn't t run in the BG, useful for setting the DI range etc.
Best of all, it's not an expensive mouse....
