The controls are the same as in the closed beta, at least, for player movement. Then again it's subjective how good/bad they are, I think they're fine, so I'm not sure this is a correct answer for you.

On a more serious note this game is really good.

52 fps on avg ultra settings, 1440p with a i7 4790K @4.5ghz, 16GB ram, GTX 1080. Nvidia slacking big time with the drivers.

I see. I hope it is a well optimized game. I might purchase it after the beta

I downloaded this a couple of days ago on PS4, and will give it a spin tonight if I have time. Had no real interest in the game, but thought I'd give it a spin to see how it is as some of the video previews have looked fun.
Pre load on steam is trash. Faster to download the game than unpack

Man happy to be back in but are they seriously going to launch this with that atrocious opening dialog and bad lipsync. Facial animation/eyes need so much work.
On the plus side it definitely runs better than closed beta, there's no herky jerky feeling while panning the camera and I didn't even need to cap the framerate.

980ti
1080p
Set everything to max, but drop vegetation and shadows to very high and you should be good to go.
Not a perfect 60 constantly though. I tried dropping things but it doesn't make that much of a difference. You can probably tweak it for 2560x1440 too with settings dropped more, but same thing happens with drops.

what the hell is this ?? is this really a 60$ triple A game from Ubisoft ? is this really Ghost Reckon ?
it looks and plays like an early access survival game
the game is just so bad, nothing is good in it, graphics sucks, gameplay is horrible, animation is terrible, controls are laughable
if i didn't know that this is Ghost Reckon i would have thought this was one of the hundreds of survival early access games on steam
i really regret wasting my time downloading this trash
i actually feel ashamed of my words and deeds when i though that it reminds me a little bit of MGS V
i wouldn't even play this for free
i know many disliked The division but it's 100x better, it's quality is way above this disaster
was this supposed to be an indie game but they turned it into full game at the last minute or something ??
Ubisoft should have canceled this shit

I dunno. I think this is a MUCH better game than MGSV.
Kinda turned off by it.
Was having fun in the closed beta, but I'm pretty bored playing this again tbh.
Thought I was going to buy it, but I don't think so.
I'll load it up a few more times later. I played mostly with others in the closed beta, maybe that has something to do with it, but I don't feel like doing that atm and it's not really compelling solo.

Around 26GB and i'm afraid so.
Thanks!! Looking at the Limited Bandwidth.. okay lets do this.
Wow, i though i will only use the UPlay for the Next Asscreed , after the Farcry Blood dragon.

Now I'm really intrigued to play. Always reminded me of a co-op Just Cause on the surface.
Just Cause is generally funner though. The gunplay in this is much better, but I have way more fun with Just Cause. Probably because of the traversal.
I'm going to try playing it again later on max difficulty to see if that makes it better. So far I've been playing one notch down from that.
Seems like it so far, not sure if they've added stuff though.
Okay, after about 90 minutes of this, kinda just want to say woof.
Between that intro, all the overly self-serious writing and voice acting, the checkboxy mission design, the limp leveling system, the hilarious helicopter controls, and the way all the characters slide around, it feels like I stepped into a game Ubi put on ice almost a decade ago. They seemed to be waiting for the absolute worst time to release an open world game, and congrats to them, it looks like they managed to do it.
If it felt better to play it would be either a fantastic podcast game or a great way to just chat with your friends while mindlessly keeping your hands busy (that isn't a circlejerk), but goddamn.
Edit: I'm gonna keep going in the hopes that it gets a little more intricate. Maybe the second area will sell me.

Probably best way to describe the 'feel'. I played JC3 at Rezzed and it has the same sort of 'vibe' lacking the zaniness.
Size is 30GB on my machine (29871MB), and you need uPlay yeah.
I don't mind it, wasn't quite sure what to expect. Shitload of keybindings, going to try with controller later I think. Can sort of see the overlaps with WD2 and the drones, speccing out enemy camps etc. But it 'feels' fun to me so far after like 2 hours. Which is the most important thing. Can imagine getting a few mates on it and just doing a few co-op missions.
I have an i5 6600, 16GB RAM, RX480 8GB and playing from an SSD
Using FullScreen with everything set to ultra got me around 28-34 fps
(infograph said it was using 4442/8140VRAM, so CPU bottleneck?)
Knocked it to borderless with locked 60. Everything set to 'High' (a couple of options have 'Very High' and one has 'Ultra' I think). From 'default, I notched up HBAO+, AA = Temporal, God Rays = Enhanced, DoF = High, AF = 16x, Subsurface = On). Now getting 48-60fps in the first few hours. Can't say I've had much more than a medium firefight (3 squad mates, 8 enemies, no real explosions etc.)

If you can't figure out how to use periods or commas or how to form possessives, you probably shouldn't be labeling a published, functioning AAA game a "disaster."
I'm not feeling this game, 5-10 minutes of driving followed by a small firefight and the missions are all just go here and kill/escort that person or clear the area.
It suffers from the same issue I had with MGSV whereby even story missions themselves didn't really feel unique but rather just rehashes in some random outposts wherein the location could completely change and it wouldn't affect a thing in the mission. A lot of open world games suffer from this issue but some avoid it well like Watch Dogs 2, GTA or even Farcry (atleast the story missions).
And it doesn't really have that tactical aspect seen in past Ghost Recon outside of marking enemies which seems so easy due to drone and binoculars or the cool factor of GRAW/Future Soldier.

To be fair, it's pretty awful. I agree with a lot of what he said, and the impressions here are not hot.

Did they do some crazy optimization to this on PC? I had to turn everything to low to get 60fps on the closed beta, now everything is on high an its running over 60fps. Theres stuttering and running it unlocked it just stays at 72 for some reason and theres stuttering with vsync but its much better than the closed beta. You can use Rivatuner or something like that to eliminate stuttering right? I think its frame pacing.

Pretty much. Runs like shit on Xbox One too.
Well Horizon is getting rad reviews and Watch Dogs 2 only recently came out and was well received as well, FFXV too despite problems with story was generally alright...so not sure about that. Plus Nier.
Yeah, that's why I said worst. You have Robo Dinos and Bow Lady coming out to rave reviews followed by Finally Open World Sandbox Zelda, and then Bolivian Cocaine Jankfest a few days later.
Been playing it since it went up at 6:00 AM and basically did everything I did in the Closed Beta. After you complete the 6 missions you unlock the new area and get a large resource and XP bonus to help you there since it's a 5 skull zone. There's 5 missions in this area but I just got to it so I dunno what to expect yet.
