I like the minutiae of the game
Seems pretty good so far, like the combat. Kind of like Batman
I'm downloading the latest beta drivers at this very moment, so I'll give them a whirl and post the results. I'll also disable vsync.
The benchmark is the game?
Didn't you know?
The games Benchmarks are amazing gameplay wise. $50 well spent.
With a game like this, you probably want to use a gamepad.

I have already beat it and am returning to play again.
Ya its pretty damn fun.
I wrote up some impression a couple days ago. All in all a very good game.
Quick summary after beating it.
Cool world
Great voice acting
Some fun missions
LOTS of total missions if you did them all. Far more than I could count.
Interesting story
Driving was ok to good
Fighting was just ok. Wasn't bad wasn't amazing, it was fun but ok. Lots of moves, some issues with how the character controls, collision detection, but nothing that breaks the banks.
Its not like batman really except for the counter. Its more its own game with some falls here and there.
Only 3-6 total bugs experienced.
360 version for maybe 2-5 hours than the PS3 version to completion.

As for the combat,
aside for the counter system which is straight out of Batman (and hence really easy) it's basically a simpler version of Yakuza; even has HEAT attacks. I do like how Wei can die after like 3 hits.

Lol, I know the feeling.
It uses 63% of my Q6600.
And depending on my AA setting 80%+ of my GPU.
It is well optimized for both. Great PC port.
I've played about 30 minutes of the game so far, and it's very fun. As most people know by now, the melee combat is like Batman (which is how all melee combat should be). It's not quite as smooth as Arkham City's combat, but it's as close as any other game has done it.
As others have implied though, the KB/M controls feel a little wonky. It's definitely better with a 360 controller for your PC.

dat tile texture
uhh I was hoping they would optimize it for PC considering how much work they put into it.
the guy above says its like batman, then you say its not... can somebody clarify?
i lvoed the batman combat, because it seems like you never did the same counter twice, there was such a vast array of animations. from what ive seen in this game its punch punch roundhouse, which looks a bit shitty but not enough for me to not buy it

Also just use Normal AA unless you've got some ridiculous setup, I was chugging after the game let me loose in the world but after I set it to normal I get a pretty stable average of 60 fps on a GTX 570 @ 1080p.
Shrug, I think open-world games are better with gamepad anyway. It's not a FPS/shooter, so kb+m isn't totally necessary.

Any screenshots with all the stuff on extreme?

Sure.
Its got a counter button like batman so everyone says its just like batman. But its more "The Warriors" than Batman in the camera, the movement and execution. Or Yakuza. But its not bad either way.
It IS punch punch punch kick for awhile but you buy a shitton of upgrades that make it far more than that. But at first it can feel VERY closed off in combat I would say the first 2-3 hours before you start getting shit. Then its fine and during that time you are also getting into the story so its not that noticeable.
Basically by the time I beat it I felt pretty good with the fighting system it just takes a bit to make you feel like you are originally set up as in the starting. A badass. You don't really start that...bad assy.
Speaking specifically to counters. You will know what counter you are doing as specific attacks from specific directions elicit 1 of 2 counters for that particular move. No surprises. I would say a handful of counters total.
IMHO.
Are you in the key-less club due to GMG being slow? I am.
cool, how's the parkour?

Is anyone else having issues with stuttering?
I've got 2 7970s and my FPS is fine, even with everything maxed, but the game is jerky regardless of settings or Vsync. I'm guessing it's a driver issue, but I want to make sure it isn't an issue with the engine before I start messing with things.

Honestly.
Its not what you expect. I don't want to ding the game, I liked it enough to buy it twice and return to it. But the parkour has a specific millisecond delay at times so its not as fluid as I think you might assume.
BUT I do admit I laughed for a couple hours just sliding across store owners desks haahahaha.
Its NOT a big part of the game at all. Its just a way to clear and the way the button set is mapped and when you hit it compared to where you are(object collision detection) it could have been a bit cleaner in its timing. That and the characters lack of detail in faces are the only 2 things that I really felt a bit let down on but not enough to impact enjoyment. Just noticeable.
The game is more than the sum of its parts. Though there are some things that will probably bother everyone, it comes together as a really enjoyable title despite that. Moreso than many other games that APPEAR to have better devs/cost of creation.

You dont want a 660Ti you want a 670.
The 660Ti isnt the bang for buck card everyone thought it was going to be.
Probably a 660 or 650 will fill the void that was the 560ti.
50" at 1080 thats 44.06 PPI jesus, i cant imagine playing PC games on that.
Unless i was sitting a 100 miles away.
Anyway, i havent seen any 1440p+ screens at anywhere near 50".
We just have to wait for ENB for Sleeping Dogs, thats going to be hectic.
I havent had a chance to actually play this game as im going retail, but are there any real time reflections?
