Yeah - there are some lovely new effects in there thanks to the PhysX engine.. could see them all over the place (shooting flags, plastic effects, etc). It doesn't look quite as 'warm' as the console versions though..

Hmm, only on the PC then. Man, I bought a next-gen console to have next-gen graphics/effects and now the PC is better. Grrr!

okay guys I need some help. I'm stuck somewhere in the last chapter after the elevators, when you crawl down a vent and swing on 2 bars. when I land I have no clue where to go! LOL. Please help.

Also, I finished the Atrium section last night with the scaffolding! It took me forever to figure out where to go. 5 horus of gameplay? yeah right!

Make no mistake - it looks fapping AWESOME on the console still. But the PC will always lead when it comes to having the very best graphics effects simply because the hardware & graphics programming standards are getting refreshed on a much more frequent basis! The Xbox 360 has been out almost 3 years to the day now... and the PC has had that much more time to evolve.

Rented Mirrors edge last nite and to say i'm disappointed is an understatement. I paid ?6 to rent it for a week and i completed on the first nite. Nothin happens its a borin story and once the shine has gone off the first person free running its the same thing over and over again. Its a shame cos i had high hopes for this game ahh wel. Im just happy i didnt buy it that would of been the worst ?30 spent ever

I think its an awesome game. If you completed it on the first night you're obviously sitting playing it for far too long at any one time. It does however get extremely frustrating at times when you can't find your way through a certain section. I'm stuck on Chapter 4 right now. Ahem!

Finished it last night. In my top 5 games this year. I don't understand how someone can finish this in one night. The game took me about 8 hours to complete. Some of the puzzles are really tricky, but solving them gave me a great sense of gratitude, kind of similar to solving some of portal's puzzles.

I've got to admit, the story is sub-par, but does open up the possibilities to a good act 1 of a great story arch.

I might go ahead and pick it up now that I've seen good things about it... My budget is somewhat limited, but I need a new game to play.

Although I love the game, I recommend that you rent it, as it will probably take you less than a week to finish (it took me 5 nights of casually playing it about an hour or 2 a night).

If you are all about perfecting speedruns and beating your best times, then this game will probably last a lot longer than that.

yes starting to get the...hang of it finally. agree that it's not really a short game unless you know exactly where to go, some of it is really really annoying. i mean destroy the house in a fit of rage annoying. i stand by my initial comments: too much ambition, not enough polish from a gameplay perspective. but yes, getting through an act is quite satisfying and the presentation simply can't be beat.

I'm loving this game. Yeah, it can be difficult sometimes, and a bit frustrating if you can't seem to get it right a few times in a row, but it's challenging and that's what I like to have in a game.

I was so tempted to buy this game today, but ultimately couldn't afford it :( I want to rent this game and just never return it, haha. Looks really good, and from what DirtyLarry told me from his first mission, it's good.

can't wait to play this

omg, this is so frustrating, i'm trying to do the speedrun on chapter 2 below 11 minutes, i'm doing just fine until jacknife falls down and you have to turn left for an alternative route. the third pipe on the wall is extremely buggy, half the time i jump through it and fall to my death >_< it's so annoying that this is at the end of the level and you have to start all over again, damnit.

      The heading states that "Edge and Opera to follow". Neither have indicated that yet.

    • ExplorerPatcher 26100.8457.70.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      ExplorerPatcher 26100.8457.70.2 by Razvan Serea ExplorerPatcher is a versatile and free tool that allows you to tweak and enhance the Windows Explorer. It comes with a range of useful features, including the ability to add new context menu items, change file name colors, and enable hidden features. Feature summary Choose between Windows 11 or Windows 10 taskbar (with labels support, small icons and lots of customization). Disable Windows 11 context menu and command bar in File Explorer and more. Open Start to All apps by default, choose number of frequent apps to show, display on active monitor and more. Choose between the Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows NT Alt-Tab window switcher with customization. Lots of quality of life improvements for the shell, like: Skin tray menus to match Windows style, make them behave like flyouts and center them relative to the icon. Choose action when left and/or right clicking the network icon. Revert to the Windows 7 search box in File Explorer, or disable Windows Search altogether. Disable immersive menus and use mitigations that help you run the real classic theme without glitches. Discover the program's full range of features by reading this wiki article. ExplorerPatcher 26100.8457.70.2 changelog: Tested on OS builds 22621.4317, 22631.7079, 26100.6899, 26100.8037, 26200.8246, 26200.8457, 26300.8493, and 28000.2113. TIP: Windows Defender no longer flags ExplorerPatcher. It is no longer needed to configure Defender exclusions. Enjoy! Important Fixed Windows 10 taskbar and Start menu crashes on builds 26220.8474 (Beta) and 26300.8493 (Experimental). Update ExplorerPatcher as soon as possible. Without this update, Explorer and the Windows 10 Start menu may stop working on future builds. Microsoft removed Windows 10 Start menu components from StartTileData.dll on these builds, so the Windows 10 Start menu option has been removed where it is no longer supported. Temporary workaround: replace C:\Windows\System32\StartTileData.dll with the version from build 26xxx.8457 (x64/ARM64). This may stop working in future builds. Work is ongoing to restore Windows 10 Start menu support. Highlights Fixed Windows 10 battery flyout crashes on build 25951+. Network flyout buttons reverted to pre-24H2 behavior as a side effect. Taskbar location changes now apply instantly. Windows 11 taskbar auto-hide is no longer modified when Explorer starts. "Open Start in All apps by default" is now hidden when using the new Windows 11 Start menu. Fixed Windows 10 Start menu crashes on builds 21996–22000.51. Fixed Regedit crashes when switching to thumbnail view in registry import/export dialogs. Improved compatibility with recent Windows builds, including 26H1 ARM64. Improved ARM64 performance. Added Greek translations. ep_taskbar Now supports all 43 Windows 11 languages. Fixed issues in the system tray and other components. Updated DLL naming scheme for mod developers. Improved TrayUI compatibility and vtable stability on builds with multiple ITrayUI revisions. Fixed a taskbar initialization deadlock. Windows 10 Start Menu Added a new tile layout engine to restore support removed in build 26xxx.8474. Restoration is currently partial: Tiles may overlap when pinned using "Pin to Start". Restarting StartMenuExperienceHost.exe or explorer.exe fixes the layout. Further improvements are planned. Other Changes Added an executable blacklist to prevent shell extensions from loading in selected applications. Updated Windows 10 Start menu animation support for ARM64 builds 28xxx.2149+. Please consult the README for more details.
