Far CRY 3 maybe? The points are rather fast to get in it as long as you don't do side quests.

We don't know much about the cleaners or LMD, but the "rioters" have all the same models of dudes in hoodies. Incidentally they are all black and named Alex.

Obvious racial overtones aside it doesn't matter who you're shooting since they're all the same anyway. Except the cleaners blow up and shoot fire sometimes.

All your friends are me.

Used to be on uplay if you download the trials fusion demo and redeem one of the uplay rewards that doesn't cost any points the game magically transforms into the full version. Then you can play that for points.

How would the dog wear goggles and even more than that, who makes the goggles?


Did they change the launch date? I could've sworn it was 1st of march, but it's 8th now.

Or do like everyone else and replay your old ubisoft catalog for the points. I guess I'll finally finish AC3 and grab black sails or whatever came next.

Honestly you can skip 3 and go right to Black Flag. Or Rogue, Rogue is good too.

Syndicate is really good but it doesn't have any ship combat if that's your jam.

Shotguns will be hilarious on PC. There's no penalty for point blank aiming with a mouse and they do massive, massive damage.
