Great, another game with bs bloat and padding to artificially lengthen the game. :snoop:

Pacing is all sorts of dumb now. This soviet installation area is so damn boring.

Nikka got me out here looking for com towers like this is MGSV.

It's not like the gameplay is even amazing or anything. I find the gunplay to still be mediocre and the enemy AI bland. The Pistol so far feels very weak and light with no punch. It's nowhere near as terrifying as when you first grab a pistol in TLOU and shoot someone and how punchy it was and the hit feedback :wow:

shyt is disappointing.

You can't tell me shyt like this ain't satisfying as fukk.


Haven't really been wow'd by this so far. :ld: Maybe it gets better but so far it's kind of boring. All that "openness" doesn't mean shyt if it's boring.
So skip all of the side missions and stick to the main story if that openess is boring to you. I don't understand this complaint the same way I didn't understand it about MGS. Dudes complaining about OPTIONAL stuff when there's plenty games that FORCE you through boring portions.

the openness so far has been underwhelming. And no, so far the MAIN stuff has been boring. I'm not really impressed thus far honestly. It really feels like the first game so much hence why I said it's like a DLC rather than a whole new game. The little additions so far aren't game changing.

step 2: hit the windows key to bring up the start bar, and type 'region', click 'region and language settings'

step 3: make your region ukraine or india depending on the country you've chosen

step 4: click the corresponding link in the op to the deal that you want

step 5: buy it and use your card with all the proper billing details EXCEPT region, which will default to ukraine/india, don't worry, that's okay (afaik)

step 6: enjoy your slow as molasses download

Basically :yeshrug: The stealth in this feels like a joke coming from MGSV and the gunplay feels bleh after having played UC4's beta. It is what it is, i'll complete it though. I notice some games shortcomings easily after having experienced something of high quality.

Or maybe The Soviet Installation area is just really boring, regardless of if you're doing a side mission or what not. :francis:

I can actually understand that. After Witcher 3, I couldn't see wrpgs the same way. Like Fallout 4 was a disappointment to me. If I never played W3, I'd probably think differently.

Yep that's what it is. I mean I'm not expecting this to be no MGSV at least but this is a game that's out three years after TLOU and it's AI and gunplay is still mediocre.. I mean come on I'd expect them to have matched that at least.

Is the sli fix working for you? It seems to work everywhere except the Soviet base :francis:

Others are reporting the same thing on steam. We might have to wait for an official updated sli profile (if there will ever be one :sadcam:)
I didnt notice any improvements. But I was in the Soviet installation base so I dunno. Past that part will see later tonight

Get rid of AMD man. They've been bad for a while (and have always had bad driver support). Just sell your 280x and buy a 970 and call it a day.

The last AMD card I had was a 5870. They went downhill from there

AMD's got some good shyt coming out these next few years plus it's good to support open tech but Nvidia's just so much more supported I don't know if it's worth the headache.

This generation of AMD cards sucked. Hopefully their next series is better. But rebranded cards and the Fury not having HDMI 2 and being weaker than the 980ti is :huhldup:

Next series of cards from both companies should be the biggest jump in years because of the die shrink according to experts. Plus AMD got their new Zen cpus coming out so hopefully they can be good enough to keep Intel and Nvidia honest. But these currents ones are pretty decent for what they are.

Do you know when the next generation of AMD and Nvidia cards are supposed to come out?
