I bought it for $35 and do not regret it. The game runs well on my GTX 1080 and each character class has it's own upgrade path for more re-play value. The main thing is it's fun.

Epic's mega sale has a large thread already. This was the only game I bought. There isn't much replayability the way I see it, it's just a level grind. Playthroughs are highly predictable. The 3 special types pose almost no threat. They wasted resources putting in generic PvP modes. Co-op games with progression can usually give some short-term value. This game is forgettable.

I have a GTX 1080 too. Think it's worth upgrading to the 2080ti? I have a 144hz 1440p? Only reason why the thought of upgrading is AC oddyssey struggles a little at high settings with clouds at medium

For that resolution yeah, I'm running the 1080 to get the most out of my 1080p 180hz screen. I play a lot of competitive shooters and try to get the most frames on low settings.

Yah I was thinking of getting a secondary 1080p 240hz or 144hz monitor just so I can get a couple more years outta my system. Any recommendations on a 1080p 144hz monitor or 240hz?

I forgot to mention that I had the dell2716dg monitor before with the GTX 1080. It was 1440p 144hz but I was not happy with the performance.

I myself use the Acer predator XB241h. The GTX 1080 still struggles to reach the 180hz in games like bf5 unless it's games that are well optimized like overwatch. 144hz 1080p I haven't looked into that yet.

I have the 1440p/144hz variant of this but IPS. How's the TN panel hold up? Good price 👍 for sure

The TN panel is great for my shooters and playing ranked in fighting games because of the low response time, I think it's at 1ms if I'm not mistaken. I have an HDMI port connected to my PS4 pro for when I want to play fighting games, which is usually everyday.

from the videos I saw I agree. the mechanics, and design look great but there's no fun in doing the same exact scenarios over and over.
this needed to be a bigger open world like dying light.
