It looked like shit in the beta. I usually stay away from Ubisoft unless it's the Far Cry series, but fuck Far Cry Primal since they just basically took the Far Cry 4 map and retextured shit.

Your friends are village dwelling faggots though..

I've seen a lot of good press on this game where it's usually the other way around for a Ubisoft release.. I wouldn't mind getting it if I had 60 bucks to burn, it looks pretty good.. nice graphics, I heard it's got almost too many customization options, good loot, and it's focus is on multi which I prefer.

I read it's decent if you're into online gaming... also, needs constant online connection, even if you're playing the campaign solo...

From what I've heard, it's not denuvo, they just run the AI on the server...

This used to be a concern for me.. but seriously are there still gamers out there who don't pay for the Internet? :lol

I hate the idea of a game I can't play in 18 months.

That could be a good thing, it may allow for more intense rebuilds of the AI to evolve over time. Of course, it's ubisoft, so....

I'm now more convinced than ever that I need to buy this game because it's probably fucking awesome.

Cloud computing allowing for better AI than using your own i7? I doubt that. If I have to run on their server it's like I'd be paying $60 to rent the game.

fun if you have a big group of friends to play with. pretty stale cracker so far for me as i only play with two other people.

it's really repetitive and very grindy. but if you're a gear junky and min/maxer you'll like it.

Because it'll likely be a lot easier to change the code from their end of things, is my reasoning.

Saw some gameplay of it and dead ass felt asleep watching. :lol

Game seems to be primary comprised of side missions. Boring ones, too.

There's really zero reason for that, you can always patch games up.

It's a good piracy control method and also a way to put an expiration date on a product and kill the used game market though...

Serious?

Play for a few weeks and let me know if you don't get tired of it. I felt Destiny was awesome until I realized how repetitive it was. Maybe it's not as similar as I thought tho

I'll have to check it out, it looks like it's getting great reviews. I haven't played anything for a couple of weeks though, I gotta still try this Dying Light DLC. Shit though, Fallout 4's DLC just dropped tonight too. I'll probably end up checking that shit tomorrow, don't have to wait for nosteam since I bought that shit already. :lol

What are you going to do now though? With 3dm giving up you're not going to get any of the new blockbusters for free any more :lol

Just Cause 3
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Far Cry Primal
The Division
Hitman

I mean that's every recent blockbuster. Fallout 4 was the last big game to get cracked.

So far the Automatron DLC in FO4 is kind of meh about an hour in. Nowhere close to say Old World Blues from New Vegas, which was the gold standard of Fallout DLC (though Lonesome Road was really good too). But Automatron just feels like the same game except I'm fighting robots and can make robot companions.

LOL, I know what you mean. It would take me 50 years to go through all the games I have dumped on my 4TB drive considering most games I play take me at least 3-4 weeks. :lol

Just got started with this. Does the game feels too easy at this point, tbh? I'm level 35 (almost 36), have a Gatling rifle, Power Armor and 33 Fusion cores.

LOL I'm level 108, so the game is probably quite a bit easier for me. :lol

I never even used power armor except fighting that deathclaw in Concord at the beginning.
ElNono
03-23-2016, 11:26 AM
lol, I was mindful using it early because I thought Fusion cores were in short supply, but that turned out not to be true, apparently. The gatling also uses fusion cores.

There's actually a stupid bug in the game, even with the latest update, where sometimes you equip the gatling and it says you have no ammo, even though I have like 30+ fusion cores. You have to switch to another weapon, then switch back.

I just finished the Automatron DLC. It was just over 3 hours of content. I hope the next DLCs are a lot better than this, there wasn't a DLC this short in the previous two games. On an A-F scale I'd give it a D maybe, definitely not even close to worth the $10 they're asking. It was a cool dungeon and all, but a very underwhelming DLC overall. Better than horse armor I guess.
baseline bum
03-23-2016, 09:39 PM
Man I forgot how good the New Vegas DLC was, other than Dead Money, which I hated. But the Old World Blues with all the robots, the one in Zion National Park, and then Lonesome Road with ED-E were all must plays. I hope we get a couple of DLC like that for FO4. And then FO3 had three really awesome DLC in Point Lookout, Operation Anchorage, and the Pitt.

LOL, I figured that kill the rogue robots was a radiant quest. I beat it once and then turned off the game. Man, those are even worse than the Minutemen quests if it's kill two robots and an eyebot at some random place on the map every few minutes.
