I must be the luckiest gamer in the world then since I haven't had to deal with really any of those for any of my Ubisoft games ever.
Been playing Far Cry 3.5 since launch and I haven't had any issues more than minor hiccups. And **** AI, but that's besides the point.
Also **** Assassin's Creed. Revelations was the last decent one.
TBH, I thought Revelations was the ********* of them all.
All new features were just gimmicks.
Well, except the hideout defense itself, that actually added something interesting to the game.
I haven't played Black Flag, but I heard it was pretty good. Not really much of an Assassin's Creed game though? Story-wise. Loved Revelation for its gameplay and story.
far cry 4 isnt broken, its a very few isolated people who are making alot of noise since AC unity was actually broken. Far cry is pretty well optimized and runs fine.
also black flag... come on.
farcry 4 is probably runs worse than farcry 3, it doesnt have SLI support. which is one of the most important features a graphics intensive game should have
oh no, a game with far better graphics and more advanced engine runs a little worse what a horror. and many games dont work well with crossfire/ SLI, for most games you dont even need 2 cards to tun on ultra, one high powered card will do, so no SLI isnt one of the most important thing, its a nice additional extra for those who can afford who cards to sqeeeze an extra few fps out.
ahahaha
what, are you ******* mad, im running it at high on like 40-50fps (fine for me)
i have an AMD FX8350, saphhire 7970 vapour-x edition and 8gb of ****** cheap ram, so im not exactly using a super powerful build but it tuns just fine for me.
high =/= ultra, also, hunk of junk, **** you, its hardly a top of the line build but its decent, it can run bf4 on ultra at 30 fps and high at 100 (amd mantle ftw).
either your trolling or are just ******* dumb.
Revelations is by far the worst in the series (not including Liberations).
AC3 had great graphics, fun gameplay and a really good story (including the present time story with Desmond), but the protagonist was nothing short of utter **** .
ACIV was amazing pretty much everywhere, the part where it falls short is that it's not exactly very Assassin-y.
you know I found the big problem with Connor was I did not like or hate him
he was just sort of an amorphous grey blob. To be honest I would've loved it more if he was a character we could genuinely hate. Like could we not have a moment where he tortured then scalped someone? Like he started doing some really ****** up ****
Exactly. The biggest problem with Ratohnhaké:ton is that he didn't evoke any feelings or emotions whatsoever in the player, making relating, and even more so, immersion impossible.
My best example of this is when one of his closest friends at the villa asks him to give her away at her wedding, seeing as her father is deceased. Without a single expression on his face, Ratohnhaké:ton agrees to do so.
I remember reading about this from an article. Connor was such a serious character because of his heritage as a Native American. Native Americans typically show no emotion and are serious as balls, and that's because of the way the warriors are trained. If you read the book, Assassins Creed: Forsaken, Connor expresses his thoughts and opinions in a way that made me appreciate him more. He even regretted killing his father.
Despite heritage and cultural appropriation (and that's how you use the term, tumblr, not when a white chick has dreads), no personality does not a good character make.
Now, someone who was real ******* charismatic on the other hand, was the aforementioned father... Great guy.
they *********** the canon by implying that he died sat at that table in the bar but he could not have died then cause he had not passed on his genes and if he did Desmond couldn't have seen it because that is not how the genetic memory system of the animus works as they have outlined throughout every other game
He went in there, killed Charles Lee took the key and left. It was never implied he died. Especially since he went back to his home to find it empty and hid the key in Connor Davenport's grave.
in the game he is a virgin. after he marries some blonde chick they separate and then spends the rest of his days alone until he takes on a new apprentice.
what they say is when an ancestor impregnates someone that in turn is a direct ancestor that you cannot see any more of the ancestor
example, when Altair sexed that women Desmond stayed in the women as opposed to going off with altair. And when Edward had Haytham you could not see anything more through Edward's eyes
Besides, if it worked exactly as you described it, we'd see more of Jennifer Scott, Edward's firstborn. I know what you mean, seeing as it must be down in a straight line to Desmond, I'm just trying to make a point.
In all honesty that's probably what the original character design team had in plan for Connor but it's probable it just got taken out for racial reasons by higher ups.
I just really wanted to hate him but he just had **** all emotion
and correct me if I'm wrong but in that time a native village being destroyed was sort of a weekly occurrence right? So why the **** did connor spend 50 years or so getting revenge on charles lee who I swear was slowly turning into a villain from captain planet
It's important to remember that they only do marginally better work for their console releases. Ubi doesn't care about any gamers; the only things they care about lie in your wallet, and they rhyme with "honey" and "shmedit shmard".
They brought the piracy on themselves. Making ****** PC ports and claims like this, no **** people would rather pirate buggy game then buy it for 60 EUR/USD/whatevs
That is the wrong attitude, man my coca cola has been tasting less sweet recently well better steal it instead of paying, no you use your consumer spending power and buy other games and not theirs. This is turn means that other companies will have a competitive advantage and Ubisoft will have to either fix their **** or lose out on market share
I personally only buy games I have already pirated.
Farcry 3? Loved it, bought it, fought with the legit software, reinstalled the downloaded version.
The Witcher 2? Pirated, liked, bought.
Fallout New Vegas? Owned a week after pirating.
Starcraft series? Still pirated, **** DRM! If I could play offline I would own it.
Skyrim? Check, check, and double check!
I ******* HATE DRM! My internet connection is **** but at least with a torrent it's DONE! I don't have to wait for the drm to catch up and I can play when I'm off in the boonies somewhere working.
This is how I speak with my wallet.
DRM ******** gets pirated, ****** games get played and deleted, great games get bought.
Well, don't get me wrong, I still buy good games that are worth it (I bought Far Cry 3 for christ's sake), but I usually pirate the games that are not worth of the price they're sold for. Like, AC:Unity is not total crap when it's "free" or for some decent price. If it was for +- 30 bucks, I wouldn't complain that much either. But 60 dollar game better be the best ************* game out there. And AC: Unity is not that
The CocaCola example is good, but I think that comparing beverage company and game company doesn't work.
PS: Sorry for the long meaningless post, I really suck at expressing my thoughts, especially in english (not native speaker)
Then you could wait until it goes on sale maybe. But when it comes down to it people who pirate generalise the whole PC gamer market and makes us look bad to companies, and a businesses first an foremost mandate is sadly making profit. I understand where peoples frustrations come from but yeah we tremendous power through our money.
Since PC market share is 60% bigger than consoles, I guess the problem comes from Ubisoft, not the gamers, coz they obviously spend their money somewhere ...
Yeah I realised that after I posted it, my bad and I think from reading through some articles that PC is probably on par or higher, but then my argument for that is how many of those people are people that only play LoL or DoTA. Quite a few kids that used to go to my highschool and uni used to say they were "PC Gamers" but only played LoL or DoTA and would never even think of buying another game on steam etc
>Ubisoft thinks everyone on PC is a pirate
>They make really buggy port with forced online DRM and u-play
>People pirate the game to get past DRM and u-play
>Pirated versions of game run much better than horrible Ubisoft version, pirates happy while customers are told to **** off
>Sales drop, piracy increases
>Ubisoft blames piracy for low sales
>Cycle starts all over again the next game
Yves Guillemont, co-founder of Ubisoft, has been on record as stating "... On PC it's only about five to seven per cent who pay anyway, the rest is pirated."
That's why they don't give a **** about good ports.
Back then consoles were racing first place with 41% market share.
Well, now the tables have turned and PC mustard race is first in market share with 51%, console 30%, and the rest to goes to mobile. And the gap is widening.
But I guess when you're selling bugs stuffed **** software on a **** plateform you can't aim any higher.
Thanks for nothing Ubisoft.
Aside from "Beyond Good and Evil", I have to agree with you. Ubisoft has always been a shady, horrible company that's been looking to cling to whatever sells best. Of course, the last part of that statement is every company in general, but damn... at least try and lie to me, ******* .
I mean I liked like one or two Assassin's Creed games, but pumping them out at a rate of more than one game pr year is not something I trust. And Far Cry is alright I guess, but again, never played that much. They don't really have anything that has me coming back.
There's nothing to come back to because they've got their AAA games. They can stop trying to be interesting and make new ideas because they know what will sell.
On the 12th day of Christmas, Payday gave to me,
12 stacks of gold!
11 doors to lockpick?!
10 seconds response time!
9 hostages fleeing!
8 SWATs repelling!
7 tasers buzzing!
6 'dozers charging!
5 bullets left! I'M OUT OF ******* AMMO!
4 panicked robbers!
3 TIRES SHOT!
2 years in jail!
And a broke, dick, ************* drill!
I kinda like Watch Dogs. It's not a perfect game, and it was overhyped as **** , but I enjoyed it more than GTA 5 (although GTA is a lot more polished). I'm just not so much into "crime" games, and while you do crimes in Watch Dogs, its a means to an end, you are trying to save your family during the game.
In GTA its just a bunch of characters trying to make money, and I don't find that goal as compeling. Same with Saint's Row, but I like that game for the absurd humor.
Assassin's Creed is a series that should take a time out and return in a few years, like Splinter Cell did. Its a good IP that is getting ruined by yearly release greed.
WatchDogs is good even though the whole hacking **** is utterly ridicuolous, but I really can't stand with the cliche as **** story and the Aiden, such an edgy, hypocrite and dumbuck character.
I, too, enjoy Watch Dogs. It's a good game. Not a great game, not a bad game, a good game. Not worth the $60 price tag, but hey Steam sales are a thing.
It didn't live up to it's hype, that's why everyone hates it. Though, I still think it stands as a decent enough bit of fun.
