No, its just I don't have a gaming PC, so I'm playing with Direct x9. Otherwise the game runs mad slow. My bad for not being specific.

but the consoles are dx9

edit: for that matter, the PC can provide a superior dx9 experience . one thing that may help you is getting into the config file and setting ssao to 0 (btw the game will revert this setting anytime you change a graphics option. you can prevent that by changing the config file to 'read only', but then any options you change in-game won't save). that will turn off 'ambient occlusion', aka that black glow around everything. that shyt makes my game stutter, and honestly I don't like the effect. it's kinda lame they don't offer a simple option to turn it off (like most games)

Anyway, lol @ being able to snipe bull sharks from the shore. There's no way they should be that close to the coast..... but fukk it, I'll take it.

Oh ok. The game looks and runs too good from what I've played on my PC to switch to consoles. The framerate is just low and and it doesn't look as good.

2 things....if you wanted to REALLY see Rook island....you would upgrade to a gaming PC. Consoles are watered down graphics wise. And 2, Bull Sharks are notorious for killing humans ESPECIALLY near the shore, because thats wear we usually hang out. Bull sharks can even swim in fresh water. The Bull shark is responsible for more deaths every year than any other aquatic animal on EARTH.

agreed.

playing this with direct x 11, all of the graphics options on max is :blessed: when i first saw a camp fire, i crouched down and watched the heat distortion around it was pretty cool.

and i gotta co-sign everyone who mentioned the wild life adding a much welcomed dimension to the game. sitting back in the bushes watching a bear chase a group of deer, then a couple of pirates drive up and decide to fight the beer for no good reason is hysterical.

Props to everyone dropping knowledge. I mainly play games on console, so.... i don't know wtf I'm talking about when it comes to specs lol.

My point is it would be nice seeing this dopeness to its fullest capacity, on a large monitor.... but I'm not gonna shell out the dough for this one game. You're right, I don't want to see it THAT badly. That would involve time and money that I don't really care to commit to using.

And that's crazy with the sharks. I've had them basically chase me on the shore where I could shoot them in 3 foot deep water. I can't even fathom seeing that IRL.

I'm past the midway point of the second island and its getting a little repetitive but its still a really good game.

Main "good guy" characters are trash though. The story had potential but they kind of ruined it.

Consoles are def more accesible to the average gamer, but if you decide to make the jump, its not as difficult to do as it may seem. There's a ton of info on here and the web to do it. A investment of 500 on average and you'll be cooking.

Only thing that bothers me is there is no eating animation for the wildlife that hunt. They just kill for the fun of it.
