I'm playing on X360 framerate is crap

Going to have to agree with everyone else. It's just you. Framerate is flawless for me.

And multiplayer always drops in framerate regardless of what game I play for me at least, so I don't see that as a big deal.

Flawless is a little OTT - its not the best framerate with constant dips, but its not unplayable.

Just got to play maybe 45 minutes or so I am finding more details that I just love. I smashed a car so bad the siren went off and Niko tried to start the broken car for 20 seconds before I called it good. Then I got in a Cadillac Escalade looking SUV and floored it. I rear ended another car at near top speed and put them into a pole. I checked their car (sirens going off) and the driver had his face down resting on the steering wheel......creepy. :p

I disagree

What res are you guys playing in? and what input

HDMI + 1080p here..

I feel the framerate is bad and even crappier at some places

1280x1024 on my computer screen using VGA cables, not sure what I'm runnig at w/e my Dell WFP2007 monitor can handle. No problems for me, an occansily lag for objects to appear, but that's been happening since GTA3 and with no loading times it's a very, very, very, very small price to deal with. Near perfect, so maybe not flawless.

And I gave up on going for 100%, spent 3 hours and only got 26 Unique Stunt Jumps down, ****'s are a pain in the ass, haven't even tryed to birds yet.

360, HDMI, 720p. The framerate is far from perfect. But it really only chops bad for me when making sharp turns in a car, especially in the larger city areas. If anyone considers the framerate in this game perfect, I'd hate to see what they actually thought was bad. Not sure if this game is better or worse than Mass Effect in this department though. My memories of Mass Effect are telling me that it was worse than this, but I haven't played that game in some time.

I got the strategy guide. So I know where they all are and I don't have to keep checking the Tw@t to see. But still, I just don't feel like the hassle, at this point. Some of those jumps are tricky.

I'm getting really annoyed on this mission.

Where you have to rescue Roman from that warehouse, it takes 20 minutes to make it to the room and then you have to shoot the guy first time, perfectly. I for the life of me can not hit him or i shoot Roman. Then the mission fails and i have to restart right from the start! I can get up to the room so easily now, i know where each enemy will be. It is so simple but i mess it up. I did that snow problem mission first time and i hear people have trouble with that one.

What, you are kidding - You just lock on the guy with Auto-Aim, nudge the reticule while locked on, up to his head and take a shot.

Boy am I ****ed :angry:

Last mission and JUST went over 30hours

Slowpoke :laugh:

How many hours were you?

Really? it wouldn't auto aim for me, so i had to do it manually. Perhaps i should get closer to him :p

Cheers

You guys use autoaim? :blink: Wusses :p

If im gonna complete the storyline again its with autoaim this time..

At first i was focusing on the dating and friends relationship part, but as i progressed it just started to **** me off - So i just gunned for the sub-30 Hours achievement, think i did it in 25-26 Hours.

Auto-Aim is for wusses in gun dedicated games, having to manually aim in this game would just **** me off - Specially with all those random camera angles indoors, then all of a sudden you have someone behind you.

I'll just save myself the frustration and enjoy the game ;)

I actually did that mission today. I found it quite easy, but I had a sniper rifle in my inventory. I simply took it out, zoomed all the way in, and took out his eye. Easy :)

Exactly my thoughts, Multiplayer i think auto-aim should always be off, just to make it require skill. Single player though, you need auto-aim, indoor areas are a pain to shoot anyone in and that bank mission really needs it too.

@Pierce28, I also have a rifle in my inventory, i might try that.. thanks.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
