Damn.
This game is something else.
The graphics put crysis 3 to shame. Definitely had my mouth open staring at the screen for a while (not just because of Laura). It doesn't stop there, the animation, environment interaction, physics, etc - so well executed. I wonder how more incredible this game could have been had they not padded it with useless multiplayer.
The TressFX thing: definitely adds something to the game. Going back to regular hair just seems bleh. I know it sounds silly, but it adds more depth to the character and makes it easier to connect with her - she seems so incredibly human...
I honestly want to have her babies.
Playing with a 7850 overclocked to whatever AMD overdrive lets you. Haven't tried playing around with the voltages, but perhaps I should as my card doesn't get hotter than 64 C. Getting a rather unstable ~ 35-40 frames, so I hope there is a patch that can give me consistent 40 fps or so. Seems the hair thing really kills the framerate, especially in moments when you zoom in on her face (but worth it).
