You'd want your ping to be below 50 for true reliability for quick FPS games like these, where aim and reflexes are essential
Playing with 250 ping is unfathomable. Try to get 200 ping lower or give up. |

Yup MSAA is a killer, even the 2x setting, even on my new 16th of November killer rig.
I also think the Depth of Field graphics look weird. I think it doesn't only look blurry but also.. distorted or something.
Other than that... oh man oh man I haven't been so impressed by the first hour of a game since Skyrim. I freaking love the survival/crafting part of the game, and the reward you get from sneaking and capturing outposts without being seen (500xp if alarm went off, 1000xp if spotted, 1500xp if undetected).
What I'm less fond of is what I noticed the last 5 minutes I played before I had to leave. Apparently you can charge up to an enemy and just press [F] and you'll instantly take him down with you machete. I totally exploited that fact -- enemies just couldn't get me down in my charge to them. It makes me wonder if I should restart the game on highest difficulty. However, if that means they spot you quicker too... well, that'd suck. |

The "darker" ending of Dishonored is literally the same ending but just at night. And you guys thought ME3 color coded endings were bad.
Is this a joke? |

Sepharo, fun you say that. There are one or more actual studies on the internet that show that console gamers prefer their protagenist to be a criminal or some other asshole. Think God of War, Prototype (2), GTA, Darksiders etc.
On my phone right now and tired as a dead cow so feel free to google the results yourself.
Dades, yes. Darker is wronger as it means further away from light. Tell me I don't need to explain these two absolutes to you, please. When Dishonored's text popped up regarding the choice, I started thinking: So wait a second, these "enemies" are maybe just the victims of some evil corruption or something? Not killing them would be the good/better aka less dark option indeed!
Once I realized that, and then realized all the unique skills I COULD NOT use if I wanted to go with the option I was given.. well, that rubbed me the wrong way.
I laughed in pitty when 10 minutes after that infamous text the text popped up "Jump down and press [Left Mouse Button] to do a lethal takedown from above." I was like... ehm, no, I just chose the lighter path. How to do a non-lethal takedown from above?
But whatever. You dont get it, don't wanna get it, and I stopped caring enough to help you understand my look on it.

So to emphasise my point even further let me add this:
In a game where they've ambitiously created possibilities for you to KILL enemies in a unique and fun way, they shouldn't throw in this pathetic "Oh! You can also not use all that cool stuff and play the good guy. In fact, if you decide to use the cool stuff, your ending will be bad or 'much darker'.". Apart from that, the text thoroughly mutilates and dismembers the immersion (How the fuck should my character know how it ends to act accordingly?). It's so dumb. |

- DADES - This is a signature of my name, enjoy!
Hey Dades, some people actually finish reading an entire message before replying to them. A fundamental addition to that part you quoted sounded:
"I'm fine with giving these two options, I'm just horrified if they make the "good guy" gameplay so goddamn boring and linear."
What I meant to say with that (*sigh*) is this:
Where the "good guy" can only incapacitate targets from behind or use the crossbow to shoot a tranquillizer dart for non-lethal takedowns, the murderous "bad guy" can summon rats upon enemies; melt their brains; can do an animated death-from-above and backstab; use the gun AND crossbow AND sword; can turn enemies to ash; can Force Push them off buildings or splatter them against walls.. and maybe that list even goes on...
Hope you get the point. |

I can understand if someone didn't like the game's aesthetic but how exactly is Dishonored stale or shallow? I didn't realize that open-ended, action/stealth hybrids with system-driven gameplay were so common. By the way you describe it, one would think it was another military shooter or something.
Military shooters don't pretend to be more than they are.
Stale: The dull graphics, bland textures.
Shallow: The moronic, yawn enticing story and shamefully retarded gameplay.
The game didn't challenge my senses at any moment. And then it also gave this unfathomably stupid option not to kill enemies, and warned you of a darker ending if you did at the very start of the game. You're a goddamn assassin for fuck's sake! Because I'm the kind of gamer that always strives to be the good guy, the game took my moral compass hostage from the very beginning. I haven't been able to make use of any of the potentially cool lethal skills. I'm fine with giving these two options, I'm just horrified if they make the "good guy" gameplay so goddamn boring and linear.
This game does nothing better than what any 2004 game could've done and has done. The way it left me cold and unexcited in literally every way is a feat in and of itself. |

Trying doing it while enemies storm at you, it is impossible to aim at a barrel (the white marker, despite the aim being at the barrel, snaps to a guard instead). Or try aiming that way from above (tree, roof), it is nigh impossible unless the auto aim accidently targets what you want to target 
I have no such issues when shooting from above, and trying to shoot at something while people are running at you is folly anyways. :-shrug-:
(Quinn's edit) I'm awesome. I'm in the first 10% of most awesome AC players in the world and I somehow want you all to know it! (/Quinn's edit)

Forget about the edit of mine. It's self-explenatory. As for the first part.. Are you an AC fanboiii, Creston? The way you justified that annoying auto-aiming that eRe4s3r mentioned by saying it's "folly" to aim at something while people are running toward you (really, what!?) disgusts me. It's just so.. moronic. It's very.. telling. Had to throw it out there. |

Playing the game.
The reviews are right. This game's gameplay system is just totally wrong. You'd think it'd be cool to dress as a police officer and just walk into a police station without anyone raising an eyebrow right? It was like that in the former hitmans and although it was very unrealistic, it was fun. It's painfully obvious that the devs wanted to make a more realistic game. So now when you're disguised, everyone is cool with you except those with the same costume. The stupidity and futility of disguising is the fact that you found costume X implies that people wearing costume X are prolly all around you, so it hardly gives you any fucking advantage.
Also, the achievements are WAY too much integrated into this game. It feels like every freaking action I'm performing is for an achievement. Wtf.
And yeah.. why should you play as a "hitman" when you're in a 4-missions fugutive act? I think the chapter is even called Run Like Hell or whatever.
It looks like IO was sick of the Hitman formula and though Splinter Cell: Conviction was a way better game.
Strange. Strange indeed.. |

Yes Jerykk it's a matter op opinion. However, I have read some reviews with reviewers getting their panties in a bunch for primarily (indeed!) those two things. Because of this I don't find said reviews convincing, and although they could easily be right that the game's bad.. this is a strong case of having to see for myself.
You liked his imporsonality. I hated it. No.. I started to hate it when ridiculous inconsistencies in his behavior became dominant. If they managed to pin-point his personality in this game, that's a good thing imo.
You didnt care for the lack of a story and just went for the hitman assignments. Same with me. Do I welcome the break in that pattern in this game? Hell yes.
Lets see how I talk after a few hours of playing the game, though. |

I have yet to play the game. However, the reviews have two negative points that I consider positive.
1. Agent 47 basically grows character and a moral compass (about time, I say. His actions were inconsistent before. Shooting that mail-man in BM made me want to piss over his skinny scalp).
2. No more linear objectives (this time there's actually more than just killing for money, basically).
Then there's other shocking stuff of course. Like failing a hit during a cutscene. Fuck that. |

Yes, you're saving money using these sites, but aren't you basically just taking that money from the publisher by bypassing the standard pricing based on region? As long as you know what you're doing...
I honestly have no problem sleeping at night. It's legit so I don't really give a shit.
I'm adding to that, though, that if I wasn't LITERALLY saving €30,- with this deal -- I mean, €30,-.. fucking hell, right?! -- I would've bought it in my home town to benefit from the instant receiving of the paid product. But instead I can literally buy two-and-a-half legitimate game copies for the European price of one. I simply will no longer put that kind of money down anymore. Not for the stuff that more often than not turns out to be either lame-ass garbage or entertainment that lasts for a maximum of 10 meager hours.
Nope, the only games that get my full €50,- these days are games like The Witcher, Deus Ex and Severance - Blade of Darkness.  |

They should stick with the consoles and piss off. I've realized for quite a few years by now that Rockstar lacks creativity anyway. Every game of theirs has to be some bandit-sympathizer one way or the other. Now it's true the typical console kid gets a total hard-on for that but I'm sick of those cliche anti-hero bs concepts. They even managed turn Max Payne in that same thug-infested fuckshow. I'd still like to see them burn for what they done with that franchise and the man.
Fuck you Rockstar. Now shoo. All my hopes for the PC gaming industry is in the European developers. |

€20,- is, what.. $25,-?
Edit/Add: You know what? Here's the link to the site...
http://www.wowhd.us/search?q=far+cry+3&t=all
Free shipping costs and games are more often than not more than 50% cheaper. New games. Yet to be released games. You name it. Only downside is that you'll have to wait a MAXimum of 2 weeks after release for a game to arrive. One week if the game has already been released when you order it.
Advertising that website only because it's saved me hundreds of EUROS already and hardly anyone knows about the place.
You're welcome. |
