    I have enough friends, co-workers playing it on pc right now without any problems? I don't know why you are having so many issues.

    You say everytime, what games are you refering too? AC brotherhood and 3 had bugs but didnt crash or block me in anyway. Splinter Cell Conviction, and all the Farcry games never had issues for me. i own them all on pc.


    But yes, I wish Ubi put more effort into it their pc titles, its just the market is very niche for their games, even the ones I listed above and they run fine.


    ok you're right there's no problems #toplel i am just hating on a game because i am not a TRUGAMER

    Rick, saying things like "nice work ubisoft, you've outdone yourselves. please stop making games, sincerely: the world." Is why I called you a dick.

    but how many times do pc players have to suffer an abomination of a port? it's not like it's been one or two titles, literally every ubisoft game has had literally gamebreaking, blocker-level bugs on the pc. their support is useless and their patches are 3 - 6 months down the road, if at all. it's like they don't care about that entire section of the market. i want to play the games, i want to give them money, but every time? i don't know why i keep doing it to myself.

    looks like you have grabed wrong torrent lol

    pirating games in 2013

    because of course ubisoft have a perfect track record of PC releases lmao. remember when ghost recon came out and it was 100% flawless and i never had any problems connecting to friends for the coop. haha, good times.

    /edit don't get me wrong, i am not personally attacking anyone who worked on the game, i am sure your work was great and you poured yourselves into it and are proud of what you achieved. there's a lot of redeeming features hidden away, and i like the direction pulling away from a linear do-this-then-this-omg-epic-narrative, it reminds me of how Double Agent felt, obviously you were playing a linear experience but it was presented in a way where it felt very fluid and player-driven.

    my problem is the poor PC port, as always with ubisoft, the shitty UPlay - it's as bad as origin in terms of being a featureless void, although at least ubi aren't arrogant enough to try and sell their games purely through UPlay - and the lackluster polish and abundance of bugs and glitches.

    maybe it's because the engine is like 10 years old and has been injected with more addons than insert-clever-metaphor.

    Its ok, its not for everyone, besides, there's a _D at the end of Ricks name for a reason

    i don't think any of what i mentioned had anything to do with me being a dick, and simply dismissing the issues is why SC is where it's at now.

    have you played the older SC's? they have been getting progressively more ridiculous as time goes on, not just story-wise (i can forgive that, you do 50 games you're going to run out of material if you let the french start writing scripts about americans), but bugs and "features" and general gameplay. there's so much potential with stealth games - look at Mask of the Ninja - and here we are having "press space to glitch into new cover".

    maybe it's just the PC version, but I see glitchy animation, constant saving icons, crashes, etc... i'm going to keep playing it to see if it redeems itself but i'm not blown away.

    wow what a buggy piece of shit.

    20 minutes to log in to u-don't-play, game force-launches in bizarre windowed resolution, have to play shitty press-c-to-crouch (thanks for the tips!) section before i can enter a menu and fix it. then 10 tries at the opening "stealth" gameplay, then i get spotted as i get past it, with 10 guards shouting at me and boom: instant cutscene and i am safe. then "you can't stop the blacklist!" - well apparently you can because the game just crashed.

    nice work ubisoft, you've outdone yourselves. please stop making games, sincerely: the world.

    /edit also new voice actor is shit. best SC is still CT with DA right behind.

  • Battlefield 4

    Quote from D3ads

    Baku looks fucking awesome, graphics certainly don't disappoint in this game... even if pretty much everything else does (at least in campaign mode)..

    i wasn't aware you had an alpha copy, please, do tell.

    Hey. I don't know if you saw this but apparently Valve is working to distribute Blender on steam and offer some kind of support for it in Valve games.

    God for-fucking-bid.


    Blender is a massive piece of shit, just like XSI was. Why don't they just build their own modelling tool and base it off a decent program.
