This actually looks quite fun. I think it's brevity may be an advantage.
I went on a 3 month trip around Latin America earlier this year & saw a bunch of Mayan ruins, so it'll be cool to relive some moments through this game.
@Lhomity @bgna8980 @tightwad34 Yeah, I'm from New Zealand, you'll have to excuse my use of 'British English'.
Here the used market for games isn't big so it's not usually worth selling or trading in, but I can rent a game for a few days from the local video rental store for a reasonable price. Full priced PS3 games are around $120 which is about US$100 at todays rate so you can see why I'm not keen on buying a game that I can finish in 3 days.
I'm looking forward to this more than I was GTA V. The play style in the vid was a bit run & gun but I'm planning on playing much more stealthily. The player in the vid didn't seem to be using the hacking feature much which is a shame because that's the real standout feature of this game.
Obviously the graphics are great too, I'll definitely be picking this up on PC. Maybe they'll do what Sleeping Dogs did & offer a day one hi-res texture pack for high end PCs... one can only hope.
Interesting, if some high end models start coming out, I could be tempted to do my next build on Linux.
I can see this move in the direction of having a hub with extra hard drives & keyboard & mouse etc. where you would normally keep a PC & being able to move the box between the 'PC hub' & the TV in the lounge. Wireless is OK but cables are better & sometimes you need a proper workstation, TVs aren't too good for reading text.
@noladem504 @bbq_R0ADK1LL What I said still stands. People need to stop taking it as an insult to the game ("how dare they lower the score by a point because of feminist bullsh*t?!"). It's like some people take it as a personal insult when someone else says a game they like & have invested in is anything less than perfect. I think Cam did a sciencey video on that.
GTA V isn't the first review to have brought the psychos out on this site, which is why I didn't mention specifics like the feminist thing. Having played through a fair chunk of the game, I personally don't think that aspect is worth losing a point on, but I don't think I would give it a 10/10 either for other reasons.
My point though, is that people need to stop immediately going to, "how dare they..." & start thinking, "OK that still sounds good but I'll have a look at another review & form my own opinion".
