Unlucky7 posted:Come on. This is a new IP. Maybe this game will not be defined by the idiosyncrasies and hilarious excesses of their own most well known franchises? A story of betrayal conspiracy and redemption. A gripping tale that will have you on the edge of your seat all the way to the alien invasion that God sent as punishment for inventing anime. Are you an epic enough hacker to Occupy Heaven?

WindmillSlayer posted:Is this good or bad? I'm not up to my games journalism in jokes. Triple A devs very rarely drop embargoes until the day of or the day before on big name titles especially new IPs. Them lifting in on Thursday means they aren't particularly concerned with it getting bad reviews to effect the sale of it. So it should be good news.

I said come in! posted:I looked at the recommended system specs on Steam and gently caress that poo poo. My PC could only play this on low settings, it'll look better on PS4 for me and the frame rate will be higher. I'm going to assume those are completely made up as a lot of specs are. A lot of the load is probably on that new lighting thing they're using for the PC version so that can probably be toggled off and you'll barely notice.

If it is the case this game is hilariously badly optimized to require a midrange GPU but a new CPU. Why in the world are they using Passmark scores to determine if your CPU is good enough anyways?

Zaphod42 posted:Eh, not enough time for anything interesting to happen. Just the opening sequence and some assassin's creed style story mission bullshit. Seems tolerable enough, but I'm here primarily for driving and hacking and shooting. Maybe I'm the odd man out, but I'm not expecting anything from the story. I'm in the same boat. If anyone expects a Ubisoft open world story to be anything other than awful they deserve disappointment.

precision posted:But the Ezio trilogy had a great story. Yes Ezio's story was interesting. Much like all Ubisoft games they start out strong then it's magical space gods. If you look at Ezio's story then compare it to the rest of Ubisofts stories it feels completely different but if you include anything involving Desmond it becomes distinctively Ubiesque.

Opinions take a nose-dive once you read them in other threads/not here. Nobody says it's a bad game mind you, just that it's mostly uninspired and people stop caring after 3-4 hours and go back to more engaging titles. Is this in opinion born from playing it?

Every vehicle handles like it is weightless and has blocks of ice for tires. There is no grip. Every turn is a way over turn. There is an entire set of side quests dedicated to vehicles chases... Yeah definitely haven't seen or experienced this dunno what to tell you.

Alright so I've spent a good chunk of today just driving around on the PC version, with a 360 controller and the driving really isn't that bad. If you treat the it like GTAIV you'll be able to drive with no crashes easily. That being said I definitely agree with what Orv said. It feels like they were adding a more sim like driving system to the game then decided against it so we have this not quite arcade not quite sim thing. For the most part it works fine but there are definitely moments that the driving feels very off. For the most part it's pretty fun but driving is definitely the weak spot.

The secret to shooting in this game is to not be bad and use Assault Rifles. Pistols kill on head shots and that's all you should be aiming for.  Palpek posted:I don't think he meant "Steve Urkel firing an AK-47" to literally apply to an AK-47 but as a comparison to how gunplay works as a whole. That's not how WDs shooting works though. The only rifle that has had too much recoil that I've run into is the AK. Sedisp fucked around with this message at 08:17 on May 25, 2014 |

DaveKap posted:It's not a gimmick because you can't shoot out of your car (as far as I can tell) so it's the only way you can manage to actually stop people during chase sequences. It'd be pretty OP if you could shoot out of windows. Shredding tires works differently as nailing one of them causes them to get out of the car.

So can the so can the convoys/gang hideouts/contracts be repeated? The Progression menu mentions completing all of them but that seems really stupid if there's a limit on them.

Horrorosaurus posted:This was kind of my point too, they presented it as live gameplay and not just screenshots, it's lying in my book. Maybe I don't look at hype stuff so often so it might well be this is common practice and if that is true, could one of you maybe link to another example where a hype gameplay video versus the actual product had this big a gap between them graphically, in favor of the hype video? I'm sorry but what in the world is the difference? If the intent was to have those graphics but it ran like poo poo on everyone's systems so they changed it is it still lying?

Spiky Ooze posted:My main interest in this game is the hacking mechanics. Anyone get a ton of hours in on that comment on it? Is there any neat hacking combo type stuff you can figure out to solve missions or is it basically "press the button to play a trick haha you really got them by pressing that button" no strategy at all. It's pretty limited in strategy but it's there. Overt things that eliminate dudes will immediately put them into look for you mode, whereas options that can't kill a dude will not.

ScienceAndMusic posted:I think the biggest issue most players are having is the fact that the game doesn't really do anything exceptional on its own. The city is OK at best, but the lack of interaction with the environment (I'm looking at you instantly stopping trains) is a let down (clarification edit: yes the game enviornment is interactable, because of hacking, but it is far less interactive and immersive than a game whose sole focus is this very interaction should be). The shooting is ok but done better in other open world games. The driving is quite honestly some of the worst ever, even worst than GTA IV and that's a feat. The invasion stuff is neat, and a good idea, and the hacking is a fun novelty but it wears thin very quickly. Cool. Now we can all bask in your post and when the new game sheen wears off (I've beaten the game and my save file won't transfer over so I'm going for round two) you can come back and we'll all kiss your feet for refusing to listen to your wise judgement. Meanwhile I think the Titanfall thread needs you.
