I'd say that the majority of games I've played over the last 28 years have had at least a few bugs. The bigger and better that games get, the more bugs there will be. If you actually play this game, there is no way you could actually say this game is rushed. It's an impressive sandbox to play around in.
As long as there is nothing game-breaking, like save file deletions, or quests that can't be completed, I don't see what the problem is. But I am one of th...
I've been playing this game for around six hours now, and I have no idea where people are getting the idea that the game is a broken mess. I've had a handful of issues, but nothing I don't experience in most open world games. I did have one rather bizarre game freeze that reset my Xbox One, but other than that, it's just some texture pop-in, clipping, and the only severe framerate drops I've noticed are in cutscenes for some reason.
The map is littered wit...
Yeah, a lot of people seem to think the game is a train wreck for some reason when in fact it's a great looking game that plays well. It has its glitches like any open world game, but nothing too serious. Though the glitch I mentioned with the buzzing noise was a bit scary even if it ended up being nothing, and your issue sounds pretty serious.
It could be one of those games like Fallout: New Vegas, where the game was virtually unplayable for some, and wasn't too bad ...
I've played the game for a few hours on the Xbox One and oddly the only framerate dips I've noticed were in cutscenes. During the actual gameplay, even with hundreds of NPCs on screen, it runs pretty smooth. There is obvious pop-in, though.
I did experience one big glitch where the game froze and made a horrible buzzing noise for about ten seconds, then my Xbox One restarted itself; but otherwise I'm satisfied with the purchase. So far it seems to be moving the se...
I actually liked this game better than Final Fantasy X. FFX was the reason I bought a Playstation 2, and while I had a great time with it, it was just so different from what I expected from the series (no overworld was incomprehensible to me at time; I had never played a traditional JRPG without an overworld before).
I think the reason that I liked X-2 better was simply that I knew what to expect, so I wasn't so hung up on its quirks. FFX was such a departure from the ser...
This game will be great. I'll be picking it up next week along with Dragon Age: Inquisition. Far Cry 2 and 3 were awesome (never played the first one), so I can't imagine regretting my purchase.
So many games these last few months... I have a week off of work coming up, but I don't think it's going to be enough to even put a dent into my absurd backlog (nearly 200 games and counting).
This is one of the few games that I bought purely to experience its presentation. Typically I don't buy games for graphics and presentation alone, and linear games aren't my thing, but when I played the demo, I was impressed by the crazy action in the first part and the amazing battle with a massive creature climbing a skyscraper in the second part. This game has set pieces done right, and I felt I had to purchase it if only to simply see every part of it in action.
I...
Agreed, and in fact I could afford to take off three or more weeks, but I'm supposed to be an adult now, so I... might. Against my better judgement.
We'll see how it goes.
Bought the day one edition. Because I bought it day one. Didn't have a choice, really. There was only that version at Best Buy day one. Fuckin' fanboys. Giving me only one choice... typical.
Seriously, though, I can't imagine why anyone with the funds would opt to not buy one at this point. The library is exceptional. Whilst I understand that Microsoft tried to destroy video games (Steam seems to be doing okay, though) with DRM, they in fact did not destroy video ...
I'm one of the few that enjoyed both Dragon Age games released previous to this one almost equally (part one being my favorite, with part two being nearly as good), so I decided to take a week off of work to play this game. I really, really like this series.
I mean, it's Dragon Age. And it's open world. Maybe I should've taken two weeks...
These consoles have only been out for about a year, so that's a bold assumption. But I really don't care. There's always going to be one "winner", but that doesn't make the other consoles obsolete.
I'll own them all eventually. I have a Wii U and Xbox One currently, and plan to get the PS4 in January. Unless you are financially strapped (a situation I've been in and one that I can sympathize with), it is pointless to only buy one system for a...
I have been waiting for this game to be announced more than any other game. I hope they don't do anything stupid with it, though. Considering how acclaimed Just Cause 2 was, they should just build upon that. It's easily one of my all time favorite games from last generation.
Well, I plan on buying a PS4 soon. It's my habit to own every system every generation.
I don't really want it as it exists now, with its mundane game library, but I have enough expendable income to justify the purchase. I mostly own Playstation systems for the inevitable inundation of JRPGs. For whatever reason, the genre is scarce on competing platforms, and it is one of my favorite genres.
Oh, and this article could use a simple question mark; so he...
In all of the years that I have been alive (33) there have been several constants. Rather than list them all, I will elaborate upon one that relates to this article: Most people like to look at attractive people. Don't worry, I'm not objectifying the rare group that likes to look at ugly people. Nor am I objectifying ugly people. Nor am objectifying the ugly parents of ugly people.
I think I'm done apologizing. Please don't write an article about my objectifyi...
I really like the naval battles to some degree, especially in part IV (attacking a base whilst a typhoon raged around me was pretty epic), but I agree that the base gameplay of just stabbing people is the most appealing. I suppose I mostly dislike the forced stealth sections, since there is little room for error.
At any rate, I'll be purchasing this day one.
The Assassin's Creed games have always looked very good, and I doubt this will be an exception. If it's missing some pixels, I'm sure I'll survive.
As long as I can leap off a large structure into a small haystack, I'll be happy. I know I'm in the minority, but I mostly play games just to have some fun.
I plan on buying both new Assassin's Creed games day one this year. I bought part IV day one, but otherwise, I have bought past ga...
I agree that people are overreacting about this game, but I'm not surprised. I've been killing digital people, plants, animals, zombies, people, gods, anthropomorphic things, people, inanimate structures, aliens, goombas, people, and mostly people for the last twenty-eight years, and I'm not going to stop because a bunch of delusional loons think that I am actually killing real people. I am not, nor is anyone else that plays games.
When I was younger, I was a mean...
I'm always happy to see a new franchise get high review scores. We always need some new stuff; specifically, some new stuff that is also really good. I love my "comfort zone" games like Assassin's Creed, Grand Theft Auto, Borderlands, etc., but I really do like new stuff, too.
I've had a lot of fun with new franchises such as Shadow of Mordor and Project Spark so far this year, and I plan on adding Sunset Overdrive to my collection when I get off work Tu...
This is always one of those impossible decisions for me. Rare in my experience is the game that trumps all others absolutely in a given year.
Here's my pointless list for contenders thus far, though I simply can't pick a single one (also note that I have not played even a tenth of the games that have come out this year, and there are still several heavy hitters yet to be released):
Risen 3
South Park: The Stick of Truth
Watch Dogs
I'm leaving for Walmart in a few minutes to get a big ass sandwich and this game. I'll eat the big ass sandwich while I wait for it to install.
