I hadn't, thanks!

Must have misread something as there seems to be no raytracing support. Can't max 4K 120 still with the 4080. But pretty close.

Have yet to be blown away by ray tracing yet so no big loss imo

I tend to agree. I certainly think it's cool looking, and I'd likely turn it on if I had a 4080/4090, but general I don't think it adds enough visually to justify the cost in FPS.Have yet to be blown away by ray tracing yet so no big loss imo

You should play Control, it has nice effects with and without RT. Hopefully you grabbed it when it was free on Epic.

I actually found Control pretty dull to be honest. Wanted to like it, and it's certainly pretty, but it felt very 'meh' playing it. Although if it's cheap enough I'd say it's probably worth a try

I have it. Played it some. Didn't finish it. I liked it, but it didn't grab me enough for some reason to keep my attention over other games.
Hmm. Not sure how this is possible. But I can launch the game AND load my save faster than it takes to load when dying. I do appreciate not been forced through all those damn splash screens that most games have.
In the first game I never ever used stealth or traps. And I'm not sure this game is possible to do so. I've died probably more in a few hours than I did in both my playthroughs in the first game. I find stealth in games boring so I really hope this isn't the case for too long.
EDIT: Should mention I'm playing on hardest difficulty. But did the same in the first game without too much trouble.
EDIT2: I am not playing w/ a controller but seems there is a massive bug when using a Dualsense controller. Like you'll get a max of 25FPS. You'd think someone would have tried using a damn Playstation controller when testing out a Playstation studios game eh?

I really should finish the Horizon Zero Dawn before venturing in to this game right? This truly is a sequel?
And this one is available for Steam on GMG for 15% off, so a price of $67.99, compared to direct from Steam at $79.99. Nice to have a little savings.

Yes. HFW picks up right after HZD. A lot will be familiar but they've added a considerable amount into the game. It can be much, much longer with all the side quests and the DLC. (played both on PS4/5 - replayed HZD on the PC as well).
