I'm really enjoying the game so far. I got to the entrance of the pylon.
Decided to test out Xbox Play Anywhere. So I started playing on the Xbox and stopped just after beating the first boss. Graphics were good, load times a little long. Other than that, I couldn't complain. It's hard for me to notice low framerates or drops with the naked eye.
Went to my PC which has the following settings:
i3-2120 (below min. spec for game)
8GB RAM
GTX 960
1440 x 900 (max. resolution of my monitor)
Turned all settings to max, V-Sync on, 60 FPS
Game looks great. Seems like I see more detail than on the Xbox, but maybe that's because I'm closer to the screen. Smoothe rmotion, too. It ran great aside from a couple freezes of a half second. My save state synced without issue. I'm using an Xbox controller to play, so it was almost like never leaving my Xbox.
I gotta say, I love having XPA to see what my mediocre rig is capable of.

So PC version is good?
No idea if it will last but I've just finished the first dungeon and I'm enjoying it so far. Haven't run into any glaring technical issues either.
Some screenshots I took during my PC session. These are all from the first dungeon or earlier so it's not really spoiler territory.
There is a lengthy stream of the PC version here from Giantbomb's Brad.

Hmm, well most of y'all seem to be enjoying it, technical issues aside. Good sign, if it keeps up I'll probably purchase later today.
Oh, and Moa, sounds like your download /install is fucked. You try a reinstall yet?

Yea, like someone else said, you'll need to download the Win 10 Anniversary Update. Same thing happened with me and Halo 5 Forge.
I didn't switch stores no, was on the UK one. The page stated 16th but I clicked the play button (already had it preloaded) and it launched without issue.

Final post before I go to bed, I spotted some enemies way below me so I figured I'd take some pot shots safe in the knowledge that I had the much higher ground and there was no threat to me.
I was not prepared for what happened next...

I feel like this is kinda in Brad's wheelhouse, combining loot to made numbers go up seems to be something he enjoys.
Yeah he seems to enjoy it. I generally agree with Brad so this is good news.
I have enjoyed my first couple of hours with the gane and geniunely cant wait to boot up again. I hope the game doesnt become stale towards the end.

I don't recall the reviews talking much about the VA or music, which is a shame cause it's pretty darn good.

Especially the music. It's very very good.

runs much better than I thought on my dell xps 15 inch w/ 960m video chip when running on battery.
guess, I need to pack my xbox one/windows controller I bought for my dell xps with me for now on.
load time to getting into the game didn't seem too bad...mind you, I've seem much worse load times in the past on other games.

The music really stood out to me. Adds well to the atmosphere.

It sounds like a good junk type of game. Wish MS helped Armature with more/better optimization and graphics. Could have been so much more with just that.
It shows in my order history but I can't figure out how to download it

About an hour of play and loving it so far.
I can already see the foundation for an amazing sequel hopefully in Unreal Engine 4 with the polish this game deserves.

PC performance is really smooth.
My only issue is there is no 21:9 support
Oh, I was wondering about it. Lets hope it be patched later on. And when they do I shall play it.

Are you using the windows store app? You can't download it from the website.
It should be front and center in the "Games" tab of the store app. Just click the game and it'll take you to the game's landing page, where you should find an install button.

There's no jank. Jank relates to poor controls and "feel". This game is tight to play. It's the animations that are bad.
You mean it's a game that looks like a game, and not a game that tries to look like a film at all times?
Games try to be too "cinematic" these days.

This is a problem that I really hope they fix, from the videos I've seen the game seems pretty meh, but the positive reaction from gaf is getting me intrigued again, but no 21:9? No thanks, I'll wait for the Steam version to get discounted.

Fuck, I never hated the gaming press so much as I'm hating now. Yeah this game is not perfect and you can tell many technical problems right away, but god damn how anyone that calls himself a gamer has the nerve to call this game garbage?
I'm only in the beginning but it's pretty clear already that it's a great game that controls wonderfully.
I really really really hope the word of mouth catches on and the game ends up doing great because it's fucking awesome and it will be a shame if it fails.

This is true. Not sure who's playing Joule, but I like her voice and the interactions between her and Mack are well done.
As for the music, definitely surprising. I love the little swells of music when an event happens or you open a door to a new section. Gives me an Indiana Jones explorer vibe. Its neat.
Can't wait to jump back in after work and really dig in.

Played the tutorial segment and the first dungeon, and I can't understand the bad rap this game is getting! I'm having a really good time!
The friendly robots I've encountered so far have been adorable.

On the fence about this one but the impressions here seem good, one question though. Does this look like a game that has good replay value, like newgame+ kinda stuff?

Interesting thing happens when you play with subtitles. Turns out Mack is speaking his own language. I thought it was a nice touch when I played, but then I read this interview on Gamespot.
Turns out the language can be decoded. Now, who's up for deciphering it? Someone's sure to crack the code.

I resorted to running an HDMI cable to my tv for the time being. Not really ever expecting a 21:9 patch for the game if they couldn't think to do it beforehand.
Performance on my PC is rock solid.

Anyone find a motion blur setting that doesn't seem out of place?

The Collectors Edition comes with a decoder.
Oh wow. That's awesome. Would love to get my hands on that.
