What do you mean, is the game garbage?
Click to expand...

Garbage, no. I consider it better than Code Veronica (X), but neither are nearly as good as REmake. One of the most polarizing aspects of the game is also the lack of item boxes, which may force you to backtrack through long passages to hunt down a key item you misplaced.

3? It's a lot of fun if blowing stuff up is your thing but also rather demanding. I'd give it a few patches if you can't install it to an SSD, don't have an overclocked Intel CPU, don't have north of 8GB RAM and don't have a 970/AMD equivalent or above (multi-GPU configurations aren't supported).

Yea i have it installed on a SSD and I have a new intel 6600k and 970 but it takes a long time to load still and dips from 60 to 30 sometimes. Fun game but repetitive, and the stupid unlock challenges are annoying.

Ouch, I hate backtracking and I have a horrible memory, I hope there's something on the map to see where you left what. Anyway I really liked Code Veronica (but vanilla on Dreamcast, never played X), if this is better, I'm sure I'll like it a lot.

I've only encountered two bothersome challenges thus far: the first car checkpoint race, which seems impossible to "perfect" unless you use a different car, and the first plane checkpoint race, which, again, is impossible to perfect with the default plane until you've unlocked the second and final nitro mod.

The default plane controls for kb&m are awful. I changed turn left/right from Z/C to A/D and roll left/right from A/D to Q/E. Turning is the better option, in my (admittedly limited) experience.

There are markers on the map that show you exactly what you dropped and where, but it can still be a hassle if you left an item at the beginning of a section.

There are some fairly obvious hub rooms that you will keep coming back to. I'd recommend dropping everything in those if at all possible.

Thinking about RE0. When it first came out the RE formula was pretty tired and worn out from sequelitis and that didn't help it. Nowadays on the other hand nothing plays like old RE so it may feel fresher and more enjoyable as a result.

the first race you unlock can be 5 "geared" (they use gears not stars) by activating the first nitro mod you get by getting 3 gears...after using that I was able to get the 5 gear score since it lets you use nitro in the races then

Just finished Hearts of Stone for The Witcher 3. Aside from a few really tough, some might even say frustrating (On Death March! at least) fights, it's absolutely fantastic. Great characters, some new locations are incredible and the quests are no less. Seriously some of the best content the game has to offer.

I think I am just really bad at wing suiting and flying planes/heli The gun and explosion ones are not hard.

Go refund the Anthology guys, the sale started on the 27th so it still should be refundable.
Click to expand...

Can you still refund it if one of the games i've spent more than 2 hours on? Forgot about it and it ended up racking alot of game time up before I closed it.

Ah. I didn't pay attention to what I unlocked and just nabbed the car from the house you visited with Mario as it's near the starting point, haha.

Not all third party games published by Ubisoft use uPlay, many choose to use Steam instead.

Yeah, when it comes to external development partnerships, Ubi -- unlike EA -- leaves the matter of which client to use up to the developer.

I was ready to throw down 10 bucks until I saw how few were Steam. They say "humble debut", any chance they will add steam keys later?
