PC Master Race can't make it up it's mind whether it wants shit that runs at 150 FPS on good hardware or games that really fucking push it. In the first case it's a lame console port made to run on shitty hardware while in the second it's unoptimized crap. Ubisoft got so much bad press off Watch Dogs even though that shit scales to all 8 threads of an i7, now they get crap for needing really high end hardware to run AC maxed out when there are a billion NPCs on screen and a pretty densely populated game world. Was there this level of anger when Crysis 1 first came out and ran at 15 FPS on everyone's watercooled SLI rig?

Yeah, don't think the FPS is such a big deal if they can at least keep it at 30... but it looks like the game was rushed and the microtransaction bullshit on a $60 game needs to die.

- Assassin’s Creed Unity features a number of troubling gameplay elements, including microtransactions that offer in-game currency for packages priced as high as $99. Past that, the game scatters chests throughout the map that can only be accessed if you game is connected via an AC app or Uplay.

I really hate the DLC and in game purchase crap. This is why Valve will never release a tf3 version with all of the money they are making off of kids buying hats/accessories with tf2. Just the start of the downfall for this money hungry industry.

Framerate is far from the only thing PC players are annoyed with when it comes to Ubisoft. A few notables:

-Creating Uplay and making it mandatory even on Steam activated games

-Brushing off the PC gaming community's concerns with their games not being optimized with a "PC players can just go buy a bigger/better GPU if they want better performance"

-Talked down to the gaming community by saying games with high framerates look "weird", and tried to convince us that 30 frames and worse is "cinematic"

LOL so Ubisoft put in microtransactions to skip shitty parts of AC Syndicate? :lmao

I wonder how much it costs to skip the whole thing all the way to the credits?

Buy Assassins Creed Syndicate and Pay Some More to Not Play (http://www.game-debate.com/news/?news=18215&game=Assassins%20Creed:%20Victory&title=Buy%20Assassins%20Creed%20Syndicate%20and%20 Pay%20Some%20More%20to%20Not%20Play)
Written by Felix Nova on 01 October 2015 at 16:45

AC Syndicate, which releases on the 19th November for PC and in just a couple of weeks on consoles, 23rd October, will be coming with some micro transactions that let you bypass parts of the game and speed up progression when you want to.

Wait, are we saying you buy a game, then pay to skip bits of that game through microtransactions? Hmm. This seems really daft to me. Its like paying to go to see a film you want to watch then paying a bit more money to miss the boring romance scene? Actually that might be pretty cool, but really annoying for all the other mushy people in the cinema with me.

So the official words told to press were for those people that have a little less time to game than others, might want to “save time and accelerate progress”. Ubi also say that this microtransaction stuff will be entirely 100% optional to any gamer and that there will not be content locked behind a paywall.

So we presume that if you dont want to explore everything in Assassins Creed Syndicate due to your own real life time constraints, then pay a bit of cash and woosh, you now have extra equipment or hidden treasures are now located on the overview map. this feature was available in Black Flag, called “Time Saver” packs. You could grab them for 1, 2 or 3 dollars. In AC: Unity, not sure anyone if anyone on PC actually played much of this, they had “Helix Credits”. Again you could pay real cash, get credits and then spend those to unlock specific weapons or bump up player stats for some time. We imagine that AC Syndicate willl have a combo of these sorts of micro transactions.

I really dont know where I sit with this. We buy a game to enjoy and have fun with. If developers think that they are making a game that is not fun for the majority of people then they would shift to make it fun for the masses, yeah? Right, this next bit from me is just me thinking stuff through publicly. So please forgive any sweeping generalisations and use them to get involved in the discussion below, if you have anything to add.

So, people who are time rich and therefore have enough time to play a game in its entirety probably dont have that much money because they are not spending their time at work. Therefore the more time rich equals the more cash poor. So if you are time poor, then you are more likely to be working all the time and more likely to have more cash. And if you fall in this category then you are the target for this microtransaction approach, and perhaps willing to spend more money to save your time so you can jump parts of the game you find boring or a waste of your time.

If I wasnt a money hungry company (Just to be clear, I am not a money hungry company) trying to make more money from every game, I would simply avoid adding those boring parts to the game, OR if I thought most people would like those parts and only a few would find them a waste of time then I would make them skippable. Like cutscenes often are. Hmmm maybe they will make cutscenes skippable for money? Or pay per save? Oh my goodness, when will it end?

Now.

[baseline bum]

I'm all for hating on Ubisoft, tbh, but I'm playing Unity on this new box and graphics are crazy good...

After nosTEAMing Unity I wasn't that impressed with its graphics. I think GTA V is far superior on PC, as is Witcher 3. ARMA 3 has to be there too, though you better have a highly overclocked i5/i7 to turn up the draw distance. Even though it's a two year old game I found Tomb Raider to be really impressive graphically on the PC also. And then Crysis 3 can look really amazing in parts when you have everything on Very High, though you need an i7 and a heavily overclocked 970 or stock 980 for those settings.

If you haven't played it yet, get Dying Light, that game is fucking crack on PC. Though if you set sail for PirateBay make sure you get at least version 1.4, as the game runs like ass in earlier versions.

[ElNono]

Coming from the XLOL 360 and having played Rogue not that long ago, this is night and day. I let GF Experience set it up for me, and it basically set everything to ultra. Looks dope and runs great. I'm a fan of the Creed series, this looks amazing, tbh...

I have Dying Light on my shortlist. Also Batman Arkham Knight, but I'll wait for the Oct patch for that one, I heard it improves the game a lot.

GF Experience always seems to optimize settings for highest image quality with 45 fps average, so I never use it. I'm always aiming for 60 fps to be around the 1% minimum framerate so I can get really smooth motion, but some games like Witcher 3 that is impossible unless you drastically lower settings. But most of the time it just requires tinkering with a setting here or there to get 60 fps mostly locked on my 970. For instance, in Dying Light the only thing I have to turn down is shadow map size to high, but if I run it at very high like GFE recommends it drops me into the low 50s a lot of the time. In GTA V I just turn grass to very high instead of ultra for the same reason (CPU bottleneck from calculating so many shadows) and use FXAA instead of MSAA and it's completely locked to 60 fps except when I drive through one area of the map where it drops to the high 50s. Otherwise the settings are as high as they can go, not counting the advanced settings that can't be run on any GPU on the market right now without dragging the framerate way down. And GFE always recommends rendering at higher resolutions and downsampling, and this SSAA shit doesn't look any better to me than MSAA or even FXAA at native resolution. So I don't know why I'd run it at higher resolution and drop my fps from a locked 60 fps to a not so smooth 42 fps. GFE settings to me always seem like they're trying to make me dissatisfied with my card so that I'll go run out and buy a 980 Ti or some shit. One of the things I loved about the consoles was the really steady framerate even though it was 30 fps instead of 60 fps, and I always want to go for the console approach of trying to lock to a framerate, albeit at 60 fps. Though I do prefer the occasional stutter when it drops below 60 fps briefly to adaptive vsync that mimics consoles by tearing when the framerate drops too low.

But I have found old games can look like crap if I don't also set an external 60 fps frame limiter in addition to setting vsync to 60 fps. New games I don't have to do that on but for some reason if I play old shit I need to.

[ElNono]

Yeah, if it starts dragging, I'll stop paying attention. So far so good though.

Zombie games are played out to me, but they did a good job combining the parkour with the melee 1st person combat.

You'll start to open up some new moves and abilities and that's when the game starts getting fun, even better with 3 other people.

[ElNono]

So far I've played it until I destroy the drop with the medicine, and it's been meh, tbh... does it get any better or it's all jumping around like a monkey doing missions?

The melee fighting is stupid, IMO... sucks you have to do it to clear out some areas.

Damn, I really dig the B-movie soundtrack and film grain in the game, and the graphics look pretty amazing. Plus the game runs so smoothly after the 1.4 patch. It does get better when you upgrade your character to do really nasty Fallout style kills with swords and sickles, but if you don't like it now I doubt you'll like it later. I don't quite put it at GTA V level, but it's one of my favorite open world action games I have played. Either Dying Light or Witcher 3 would be my favorite game of 2015, it's a tough call between them (I view GTA V as a 2013 game since that's when I first played it on XPoor360).

What the fuck man, you like Unity and don't like Dying Light? :lol

[ElNono]

I don't hate it, I just have a hard time getting into it, and it hasn't felt "fun" yet. It has a bunch of things that I don't like:

- Crafting, which makes you waste your time scavenging for shit.
- When you die, it takes you the far fuck away to a safe zone, now you have to cross half the city again (and if you die, again)
- The fight "stamina" shit is ridiculous. You can run and climb for 10 mins straight, but 4 swings with a pipe and you're tired? smh

I finished Unity yesterday, so I'm gonna keep playing it, but hopefully this shit gets better quick. The story started kinda intriguing, but now you're basically a douchebag...

[DJR210]

What the fuck man, you like Unity and don't like Dying Light? :lol

:lol smh

[DJR210]

- Crafting, which makes you waste your time scavenging for shit. Crafting is such a minor part in the game, you find a ton of good shit and even guns as you go. After playing for a while you'll have collected a ton of shit, then you can go back and create all the shit you found blueprints for.

- When you die, it takes you the far fuck away to a safe zone, now you have to cross half the city again (and if you die, again) :lol Then don't die?

- The fight "stamina" shit is ridiculous. You can run and climb for 10 mins straight, but 4 swings with a pipe and you're tired? You've gotta level up.. can't expect him to be a beast in the beginning of the story.

[baseline bum]

You gotta at least get to the part where you see Jade's titties, ElNono.

[baseline bum]

I loved setting all the zombie traps in Dying Light. And guns are terrible, the sound attracts the strongest zombies to you. I love once you have swords and sickles and can chop their heads off too, and exploring Harran is fucking fun. I love the one office building with the guy making the distress call. Open world games with tons of side quests are always my favorite though. All my favorite games of this type: Elder Scrolls series, Grand Theft Auto series, Fallout series, Dragon Age Inquisition, Witcher 3, Dying Light, etc.

If you think it sucks at the beginning you're probably going to think it sucks the whole way through. The thirty hour campaign probably isn't enough time to teach you how to have good taste in games tbh. Since you like shit that sucks can I recommend you try Watch Dogs instead? You might also consider GTA IV and NBA Elite 11.

I think I got 30 minutes into Watch Dogs and uninstalled it because of the shitty control and substandard graphics. I felt just like I was playing GTA IV. The intro stage at Wrigley Field was actually really cool, but the game nosedived bigtime after that I thought. The protagonist even reminded me of Niko Bellic with his whining about his family. :lol

[ElNono]

lol, what are you talking about? Metacritic has Watch Dogs rated about the same as Dying Light... mid 70's, which I would concur it's a good rating for these games...

The biggest issue with dying light is that the zombie theme is played out and completely uninteresting to me and it's a great excuse to make the enemy AI retarded...

On top of that, you control a mouthbreather beisbol player that can't swing a wrench 4 times without getting winded... :lol

But I'm taking y'all word for it that it gets better down the road, and I'm still going through it...

I don't think it tries to be a FPS at all, unless you consider Oblivion or Skyrim FPS games. The guns are almost all more trouble than they're worth, and are pretty terrible weapons since loud noises attract the recently turned zombies who are really aggressive and athletic. It's an action RPG to me since it's open world, has tons of side quests, and has a leveling system.

Drop kicking zombies into spikes is fucking great. Or electrocuting them. But still my favorite is to just go grab a sickle and chop their fucking heads off. Gotta love the ultraviolence, and this is about as violent a game as I have ever played. I wonder how the consoles with their weak dual quadcore AMD Jaguar chips hang in that one area where you have about 300 zombies to kill in that one small area. I imagine anything less than a highly clocked i3 must get raped in that one section.

As a fan of AC since the first game, I just can't do it anymore. They fucking killed it w/ the yearly release. Black Flag was the last one I played, and although it was generally loved, I hated pirates. I still haven't beat Revelations, I'll just play that instead.

Yeah the game mechanics have pretty much stayed the same for the past 5 years.

What I meant by promising is that the story seems to be a lot more coherent than Unity's. There was no flow to that game at all.

So Syndicate runs like shit too. 30-50 fps on a GTX 970 + i7-4790k system at 1080p :lol

Apparently the new drivers released today make a big difference, as does turning off MSAA and the Nvidia PCSS shadows that rape framerate (lol Gameworks). God damn, I don't think I have ever seen 2xMSAA cause a 25% hit to framerate.

The Division’s underwhelming beta dampens our expectations
Impressions so far: Awkward controls, dumb AI, and repetitive shooting.

Wow was that the XBox 360 port in the video? Or the PS2 one?

[Reck]

That game reminds me of Watch Dogs.

A pile of dogshit indeed. :lmao

Ive been trying to find a third person shooter multiplayer and got hyped with the division. Apperently it stinks. Smdh. Last of us still the best third person shooter.

Decided to get Far Cry 4 because the complete edition as on sale, hopefully it doesn't suck. I also decided to check out Sleeping Dogs as well in case it does suck. Need to fill up the time between now and The Following

I haven't played any of the DLC, but the main campaign in Far Cry 4 was awesome. Great graphically, the bell towers are way cooler than in Far Cry 3, the storyline is pretty interesting, the area is really mountainous and a lot more fun to explore than in Far Cry 3, and the stealth shit is much better executed in FC4 than FC3. Dragon Age Inquisition was my favorite game of 2014, but Far Cry 4 is a close second. Awesome game, Far Cry is about the only Ubisoft series that consistently delivers.

Sleeping dogs is dope, if for the hand to hand fighting alone.. Nothing better than slamming a dudes face into an AC unit fan IMO

[Leetonidas]

enjoying the shit out of both so far tbh :tu

lol at all the stereotypical sounding Asians trying to sell you shit in the markets

After finishing Fallout 4 I'm not sure what looks good next. Which is better between Sleeping Dogs and Hitman Absolution?

Absolution is a boring, repetitive piece of shit game. Don't waste your time.

Absolution can feel like work sometimes, tbh... but, if you're into the Hitman series, it's nice.

So I guess that's a big fuck no to Absolution. :lol

I also felt it was kind of short, but I do like the Hitman series. If you like to play stealthy it's still a decent game.

I really like the stealth in Far Cry 4. At all comparable?

Nah, this is more about timing, hiding bodies, etc... not a 1st person shooter, tbh...

You do the same shit in Far Cry 4, throw a rock, sneak up behind a nigga, slit his throat, drag the body to a good hiding spot, etc when attacking a camp.

LOL exploiting stupid AI with a silenced sniper rifle. Ooh look, my partner is dead but I never saw the shooter. So I guess it was just a heart attack that blew his head off. I don't need to call anybody, let's just finish this cigarette while standing against the wall.

[baseline bum]

A silenced sniper rifle is great for destroying alarms though in Far Cry 4. Now I'm tempted to reinstall that shit and play it. I wonder if there are console commands so I never have to go skin animals and shit again though.

yeah, or shoot the animal cage and watch the slaughter.... then you clean up what's left...

Ended up nosteaming Absolution, and the game seems boring as fuck and went straight to the recycle bin.

I ended up buying Metro Redux, I have been wanting to play that series forever. Damn Metro 2033 is amazing graphically and the control is great too, awesome first person shooter. I think I'll wait for a few patches to stabilize performance on the new Tomb Raider. especially the nosteam patch from the chinks tbh

I only played Last Light and it was very good. Might have to pick up 2033 at some point, tbh... I just got a free code for PaRappa 2 on the PS4, though, I haven't played PaRappa since the PS1, so I'm gonna be working on that :lol

[DJR210]

I'm sure FC4 has some hilarity with the animal kills, but I don't think you can top an enemy getting to close to the shoreline in FC3 :lol

Now you're talking. That game is badass.

I played the shit out of it when it was free on PlayStation. Did a stealth/non lethal run, kill run and a mixed of the two.

Getting the good ending is tricky as fuck though. You have to trigger most of the karma with the white flashes.

Ubifags sending mass emails about rule changes with their shitty Uplay accounts. :lol

Far Cry 4 was a good investment for me after all, really enjoying the game. Flying those mini copters or hang gliding off mountains is fun as fuck
