Great release, not completely my cup of coffee, but I'll put it on my wishlist for now.. :)

An unexpected but pleasant surprise!

You are absolutely right. Some just don't want to understand...
Thank you!

I'm maintaining an updated spreadsheet on this thread if it's of any use. It's definitely good to see the game here on GOG though.

gosh, I just got an instabone.

Okay, I put it on the wishlist. Maybe someday my computer will be a bad enough dude to run it at something approximating high settings.

Totally agree. While i generally preferred installers in the past, i can't say i am still a fan of GOG's installers. I have observed several times that during installation, they write gigabytes(!) worth of data into the %temp% folder. I mean, what is so difficult about writing an installer that writes the files directly into the target folder without taking a gigabyte-sized dump on the %temp% folder?

Since i came across lgogdownloader, i began to mostly forgo GOG's installers (and i am saying this as a Windows user). Just downloading the game files right into the game folder is so much less hassle for most modern-ish games. (and 7-zip is just a click away for making an offline backup).

And yes, i am quite likely going to buy Control here as well.

Yep. The bigger games can cause a hassle with today's smaller SSDs too, since you need the ~50GB installer files, the temp space AND the resulting installed game. You have to have more than double the free space to install. With a 500GB SSD and a game the size of Control, that's a huge pain.

I tend to use installers for older and smaller games and back them up, then use Galaxy for newer AAA style games. Someday when it makes more sense I'll make backups for those big AAA monsters.

Is there any cards that will run this fine at high settings wich doesnt cost a fortune?
Im looking for advice for cards to buy next.

Depends on what you mean by a "fortune." The 2060 is the cheapest of the mainline cards. There's a budget line with stuff like the 1650, but I don't know how well that would run Control. Probably not great considering my 2070 struggled with high settings even with ray tracing off.

Damn. That sucks - I had hoped story is speciest and hateful towards humans. Humans are such an ugly and stupid little species. But white men are still humans, that will have to do for now.

Nice one!

I would like to second the right honorable gentleman from Canada.

Damn straight!

Already bought for Steam because you don't advertise your games, and I can't refund it.

Probably not. Just taking a quick look at a Amazon and Newegg, the cheapest RX 5700XT* is about $480 CAD, and the cheapest 2060 super (which is about the equivalent of a 2070 [non-super]) is $460 CAD, and when push comes to shove, their performance starts to drop off compared to the 2080 series (which in turn suffer in performance at 4K) which can be up to 5 times more expensive.

Since Nvidia will be unveiling its Ampere series of cards soon, buying older gen cards probably isn't a good idea. On the other hand, if some of of their new cards have crazy power requirements (e.g. requiring an 800W+ PSU), and need a new motherboard to take advantage of PCIe 4.0, and you don't feel like essentially rebuilding your rig to accommodate for a card that probably will cost "a fortune" (even if they will have equivalents to the 2060 and 2070 super), then perhaps you just might want to get an older card. Also pay attention to the brand you're buying, and user reviews or you might be in for a nasty surprise.

*While the RX 5700XT performance slightly exceeded the performance of a 2070, I've heard about AMD's drivers for it being a crap shoot, were you either get a peak performance card or a crash prone GPU of frustration. Since I didn't know which brand/driver combo wouldn't screw me over, I opted for a 2060 super.
