AC Syndicate is quite nice tbh

It's an Ubisoft open world so the usual caveats apply but as far as the AC formula goes it trims some fat where needed, has a sweet setting and finally a protagonist (duo) worth a damn

I still think it plays almos exactly like the other AC titles but has that clawshot thing.

Also played about 3 hours of Division yesterday...
Even that game suffers from the typical Ubisoft "Collectathon"...

Playing KOTOR 1 and 2 back to back made me realize that Biowares writing didn't got worse the last few years.

It has never been good in the first place.

KOTOR 2 was made by Obsidian. It has decent writing, but the game is clearly unfinished.

I 100%ed Far Cry 3.

Ubi-collectathon is great if you really enjoy the base game.

If you don't, well...yeah.

Evie was my main character. Her cane finishers can be brutal.

Make sure you add FlexibleMotionSimulationFPS=1 to the Options section of My Documents\Assassins Creed Syndicate\AC.ini so that the cloth physics aren't capped at 30Hz.

Flashback of the disgusting low framerate physics in Bioshock. Ick.

Age of Decadance has been on my whistlist since forever.. Is it made by a Gaffer?
But sadly I can't really pull the trigger right now, as I'm still pitifully waiting for FF IX. Reserving my wallet for my GOAT.

Way of the Samurai 3 is on Steam, available right now! It's also 20% off until March 30!

Also, welcome back :)

Still haven't played the fourth installment.
Is the graphics on this one still hold up? Yes, I'm a graphic whore. :D

Since the cap is limited to just cloth physics, it's not as serious as BioShock's similar issue, fortunately. The only time it was egregiously noticeable to me was during the penultimate mission as you control Evie while she's wearing a rather ostentatious dress and it's distractingly obvious that it isn't bouncing about in a natural manner.

Well, the graphics hold up almost as well as Way of the Samurai 4's. Both games look like PS3 games, which is what they are. But hey, you can run them at high resolutions! :)

Ok, now I'm imagining boob physics in DOA running half capped. How freaky would that look.

maybe he got his saves deleted at 99% in fc4

:D

i don't like this suit in dead space 2

it looks fat

So you're on Dead Space 2 now? Excellent game that one. You finally hear Isaac talk and the voice acting is top notch.

And just you wait until you get a hold of the Advanced Suit, that one looks cool as hell.

Cook, Serve, Delicious is awesome, everyone. The game has native PS3 and Wii U controller support, for crying out loud. The game inspired me to learn how to make bananas foster, which is delicious. Thanks, based Chubigans.

Chubigans, please give us a release date for CSD 2.

I assume X360 support is there as well. If so I might try it. Have it on steam, never played it.
 

Lashley

Why does he wear the mask!?
Man, Trackmania 2 Stadium is great. for that game is a steal.



Why are you buying them on PS4? Is it because of the trophies?

Man, stop that.

Are you in love with your console?

Stop it, Soulflarz. You don't owe it a thing. ;)

This is why I keep going console over PC. Trophies/Achievements...Plus my friends only have a console

Oh yes, it has native 360, PS3, Wii U, XB1, PS4, and Steam controller support. It is also highly attuned for customization as you can map every single button of every single recipe. Seriously the best controller support on any PC game I've seen, period.

Finally completed Hitman Codename 47. It's a thing I always wanted to do, and finally I managed to make it.
Last year I tried to play the game but it gave me motion sickness, so I gave up.
I tried again this year, I saw I was ok and than I used a guide to quickly beat the game (well, quickly...that dude completed the game in 40 minutes, I took 5 hours on the lowest difficulty), since it's not so much stealth focused and it's VERY broken.
The last level was a nightmare, I needed several restarts because the game keeps spawning
clones
so fast I couldn't beat one and other two popped out. Literally, and you need to
carry a body over a switch to open a door, so good luck with that when three super-fast clones are using you as a target.
Even cutscenes are broken, at least for the italian version: the audio simply went off after one or two lines.

My passionate tip, if you never played any classic Hitman game, is: just play Contracts. Really, it's basically a full remake of the first game, there are just four level missing (I think?), three of them are the jungle ones (very useless imho), and another is the very last one (the first Contracts level is right after this one, but you miss nothing, only the tedious section I described, since there's a summary of the plot in the first cutscene).

Now I only need to find the strenght to start Silent Assassin, is the only one I'm missing (well, and the new Hitman game too) but it should be very bugged, trying to get Silent Assassin ranks on Professional should be painfull, it's the reason I'm avoiding to start it right now.

is it really that bad

I found it on my other origin account

Well, it's not that bad but the move to co-op, the planet based part of the game, the changes made to the enemies/dismemberment and the story all made it worse than the other two. Wasn't keen on the weapon mechanic either....you end up ridiculously over powered and ammo is universal.

I still finished it but it's not as good as the first two.

How does the native WiiU controller support work? I was under the impression that WiiU controllers were designed to only output to a WiiU (The USB ports are power-only, no I/O), especially the Gamepad, and that the only way to use them on PC (and PS3 as well) is a dongle masquerading as a WiiU wireless stack, inputting as an emulated XInput/360 pad.
