@beantownsean: Yeah Uplay got better (on my PC at least), I can start up games on it with minimal hassle now. Anything else on it is still broken for me though haha, think I only got the storefront working once ever.
Agreed, the game really is naff. I played it back on release and it was an ugly mess so I figured after all the updates it was probably a different game but the intro sequence where you escape the police off-road pretty much set the precedent for me; the 4x4 felt like it was hovering over the landscape because I was going up and downhill without it having much effect on my speed or anything at all. Street racing didn't fare any better.
The final nail definitely was it having all the typical bad Ubisoft open world tropes though, towers I can handle but I was out the moment I had a bunch of menus thrown at me filled with a lot of stuff and progression systems and gimmicks I couldn't care less about. Why is Ubisoft so popular again?
@analgrin: True dat! *shudders* I'm half excited at the prospect of playing Forza Horizon 3 on PC but not at all with having to grab it through the Windows store
So when they finally decide to issue quality control on something for once, its neither for Early Access or Greenlight which are both an absolute cesspool, but the user review system.
@untouchables111: I max leveled three characters in the game (that light level bullshit introduced in Taken King included), did all the raids on hard a whole few times as they came with their expansions and spent way too many hours to count in the crucible, you moron.
I played with people who religiously did raids in the Vault of Glass for months before they got the gjallahorn launcher, as that's what I was referring to. Myself and a few others were lucky and got it quickly but we also had our own unique weapons which took us forever to find.
Fact is the loot system in Destiny is objectively stingy beyond belief man, if you enjoy it then more power to you. I dealt with that game's atrocious RNGesus for months and its one of the many reasons why I'm so against the game now.
@untouchables111: Following that logic we can also start comparing Killing Floor and ArmA 3 to Skyrim because they all have first person view....
Like, I get what you're trying to say man, but they just don't compare that way. Both may have leveling and getting better loot as a focus in the game, but the way they do that is completely different and the way Destiny does it is whats wrong with it too. Its freaking terrible having all the game's loot stuck behind super greedy RNG or quest-lines that take way too much grinding. You can complete whole storylines, explore new vistas, level up tons and find whole epic gear sets in Skyrim in the time it takes to (maybe) get a legendary rocket launcher in Destiny and that's why I refuse to play that game again.
@ice12tray: Funds for what? Their work is already done, they have a functioning version of the game on GOG, how is it such a monumentally impossible task now to just simply add extra content to that version and have people pay for it?
...They have to change the core architecture of the game just to have additional downloadable content work on a non-steam version?
I have next to zero game development knowledge but isn't that bullshit? I mean, how can the Steam version be that radically different to the point that they can only add DLC on that one? Its just DRM with a bunch of features attached to it ultimately, and the GOG version is still the same game without the DRM + Steam specific features, its still the same freaking game.
Hell I'm currently playing the GOG version of Dying Light and I'm able to buy all the DLC which is also for sale on Steam just fine, how's this any different?!
