So you love it?
Godamn Pikman's final level theme is really creepy and kind of haunting. (Then again both games always had a really eerie feel, even more so in Pikmin 2 when flat out Cthlulu like abominations show up as bosses)

Played the game for seven hours today. Had no insane issues like day 1, where there was mad popin, frame drops, etc.
Only frame drops I had was in a mission where they thought it was a brilliant idea to have 10,000 npcs on screen.
But its honestly been fine now. ITS FINE!
The "companion app and initiates" chest are still the worst things ever though. Also, I though the microtransactions were disgusting day 1. They still are gross, but now I am wondering who would actually spend money on them since doing the Cafe missions gives you more money than you know what to do with.
im pretty pissed about that too, because i bought the HD collection a while ago, and now everyone and their grandma tells me not to play it because it sucks ass. I dont have any room to hook up a ps2, and i own a mac, so no pc version for me ;_;
What system are you playing it on btw?
No. Its probably something I would ever watch if I have no other options.
But it made me laugh with their evil fireman robot, that shoots fire, puts babies back into burning buildings, and puts cats in trees.
Touche french animation studio.

The cutscenes in the game itself looked like fun Saturday morning cartoon stuff. Too bad the actual game is just....yuck.

The minimum specs just to get it running at 30 are way too high. You need like a 750 as a bare minimum.
PS4. Honestly, if they held the game back to get these patches in, the game would have reviewed fine.
The microtransactions and companion chest stuff is still gross no matter what though.
Hopefully next year, they get it right. They probably will... I mean ubisoft montreal usually fucks up a game using a new engine, then makes a sequel that is exceptionally better
AC1-AC2
AC3-AC4
and hopefully whatever comes after Unity.
Also... kinda stuck with this game since I bought the season pass. I traded in evil within (fuck that game) and had nothing to spend the money on since I have already paid of every game that I want.
And I am not interested in anything coming out this year except PQ and Far Cry 4, so I said fuck it.
Hope China is decent.
Ubiplz get your shit together. This has been a horrible year for them.
i actually have VM Ware fusion with windows 7 ready on my mac lol. I never tried gaming on it tho.Hopefully silent hill 2 and 3 will run well on it. Macbook Airs are weak as shit.

It is excessively terrible. Framerate issues, lag, audio desync, missing textures, audio loops, lots of people complain the controls ven just randomly freeze up.
Apparently it was ported from the Beta source code. So... Yeah.
You can hit like 30-50 then, maybe? I know it takes a 980 4GB to keep 60 stable right now,

I think the minimum was like a 680, which is far more powerful than the GPU in the PS4.
Ubisoft simply did not give a single fuck when it came to Unity, and either should the consumer. Fuck this game, and fuck Ubisoft.
Is the music at least any good? Because the unequivatal law of Sonic games is that the games will range from questionable to terrible quality.... but the music is usually great. Except that bioware RPG... the fuck were they thinking with that.

Yeah, you yelled at me before for buying the HD collection ;_;
I also watched Demo D's video on it and it was hilarious. im still pissed tho. Maybe i'll use the disc as a coaster.

You probably don't want to use a VM when your playing. If you are going to play games I would recommend wine since its the easiest to set up and most likely better performance vs a VM.
No wonder those guys USED to be from Naughty Dog.

Aw, I didn't mean to yell. I just said it was really bad and you shouldn't play it.
I know it's been patched for some of the egregiously terrible stuff, so if all else fails I guess you could play it rather than never play either game, it'll just kinda suck pretty bad. I mean... Woof.
Yeah I just checked. 2 and 3 are both gold and platinum rated for Wine. That'd be perfect.
Super late, but Happy Birthday.

They were rejects from Naughty Dog, that went on to be rejects from Heavy Iron, Luxo Flux, and High Impact Games.
Quality.

So...alongside Matt & Pat's playthrough, I decided "fuck it" and just finished playing the first five chapters of The Evil Within. I'm basically past all the parts that were shown in the initial Machinima episode.
I'm really holding out on what Liam said about the game getting better on new game plus, because this first run through has been quite the fucking ordeal at times. Aspects about the gameplay just feel not as tight as I would hope, especially the gunplay coming off of stuff like RE4 and Vanquish. The worst shit has been for me were the mandatory fights with
and
as I went through so much trial and error to get through those segments. And even knowing what I needed to do, random shit still showed up to ruin my day.
So far, definitely my least favorite Mikami game (of the ones I've played), and it just reminds me of how much he was right about the things he's been saying about stepping down as a game director. Wouldn't mind him just sticking to a producer role and letting new directors and Tango make new stuff, which was his intent for that company in the first place.

I was kidding Goodwil-chan!
But im gonna listen to Ultimate's advice and look more into playing these games on my mac. Btw, is Silent Hill 1 worth playing? because i can just easily play that on my Vita.
Man I am super happy that I stopped giving a fuck about Sonic after Unleashed.
If that game was just all day time stages, it would be so good
I've beaten evil within, done a NG+, a speed run and and akumu playthrough.
Liam is full of shit. (I love you senpai, but you are super wrong)
That game doesn't get better. Playing Akumu shows you how fucking flawed that game is. Probably the worst Mikami game I have played. Never played god hand though... apparently IGN said its terrible.
But in all seriousness... fuck the evil within.
Yeah, but nope. Hub world and shitty god of jazz.

Colors and Generations were pretty good. Lost World is rough as hell, and needs a decent tutorial badly. I don't recommend that.
I feel like a battered Mega Man fan. I really don't care about Sonic games, but I kinda have to see how they turn out.

The puzzles are top notch and the setup for bosses are the same quality.
I think it is.

It's funny that there are so many mixed reactions from people about the two big horror games from this last month, and the one based on a movie has ended up being my second favorite game this year.
In general?
The evil within had no hype before hand, it only sparked on GAF because people played the chapter 9 demo, which is probably the best part of the game.
Its not terrible, but its a super rough RE4. The thing that really annoys me is the story. Game gets dumber than RE5 at points, but I had no problems with RE5 since RE in general is pretty campy.
This game tries to pull what resident evil does, but with a serious face on. Just fuck chapter 12 to hell and back.

Its not perfect. I enjoy the game alot tho.
I never had a PS2. Missed out on a lot.
Ya know, I think Intrusion 2 developer really likes Trigger anime. Dunno where I get that impression
I want that in my veins so bad

I've never been able to get AC1 or Revelations to run above like 25 fps for some weird reason. I don't really trust PC ports of Ubi games very much.

He's totally right. Wine version should work fine. I always forget Macs can do Wine.
Silent Hill 1 is rougher around the edges for sure, but you can totally play it, yeah. It's actually good to play it before 3, but it has no bearing on 2.
Don't blame you. Probably wanna avoid a Unity at all costs, until it's dirt cheap at least.I've never been able to get AC1 or Revelations to run above like 25 fps for some weird reason. I don't really trust PC ports of Ubi games very much.

I don't even know why ubisoft makes PC games. Asides from FC3 and their ubiart games, everything they have put out is riddled with flaws.
If it has the words Kiev on it, abandon all hope.
