Just bought Requiem (Minor spoilers)

Will play it later today. One thing I noticed though, is how the game's very poorly optimized. I played the first 2 episodes on my old monitor at 1024x768, now with my new 1680x1050 monitor and a geforce 9800GX2, I was appalled to see the framerate drop below 30 in the areas with more light sources.
It doesn't really impact the gameplay though, since this is a slow-paced game and it only happens on some occasions for brief periods of time but I still thought I should mention it

yeah I noticed that too. I played the first two at 1024x768 with max in game settings, 16x AF, and 2x AA and on my system with 8600gt 2 gigs ram and 5000 X2 framerate would dip in 30s quite often. I know the 8600gt is weak but I can get over 100fps in FEAR benchmark with those settings. lol. Yes the Penumbra games run way too slow for the graphics they have.

Ok, first impressions after roughly one hour: TOO MANY PUZZLES! It's basically Portal: Penumbra Edition (hell, it even HAS portals that connect each level and you have to activate them before proceeding). It kinda lost the immersion of the first 2 titles because you're constantly fumbling with objects trying to figure out how to advance.
It's a shame really, the first episodes were great because they delivered great atmosphere and storyline with some refreshing puzzles now and then but when it's basically just puzzles it kinda loses it's appeal (at least to me). If you like puzzles however, you'll love Requiem

--edit
please if you bother to reply in the thread at least be a good sport and edit the original post other users have asked you to correct.

Jesus Christ, you consider that spoilers? What next, "Hey dude, I was playing this game and you have to press buttons to proceed..." "OMG SHUT UP YOU JUST TOTALLY SPOILED THE GAME FOR ME!!!"

Seriously...

As far as I played (about 2 hours), no. There was a corpse of a staff member right at the beginning but that's it. The game doesn't follow a storyline like the previous episodes, it just puts you into consecutive areas where you have to solve a puzzle to get to the next one. I am slightly disappointed with the game actually but for just 10€ it's worth it anyway. Plus, puzzle fans will have a blast, since the game is basically that, solving puzzles
