Finally finished this over the weekend. 25 hours played. I enjoyed the story and the gameplay. Semi interested in going thru New Game+ but I think I'll wait to see what this DLC has to offer first.

I have picked this back up playing with a friend. Not sure exactly how far we are in the game but I find it a pretty hard game. I will get the DLC once it comes out.

Click to expand...
Yeah, the difficulty ramps up towards the end. Last boss was a challenge.

The base game is also part of the August Humble Choice selections, so if you subscribe to that, you'll get it (and 7 other games) for the $12 monthly price.

Thank you for bringing this up- I bit and damn it looks good. I suck at these so it's going to be interesting how far I can get, and the stability is... Not so good. I've had it freeze solid once and a pair of CTD in three hours. But I do have all teh bells and whistles turned up (other than motion blur and film grain). I'll probably look around to see what the better settings are tomorrow.
