Oh man... I am getting the same feeling of dread when I open up the AC maps for the first time. I don't think this game is for me... just mediocre shit to do ad nauseam sort of gets old fast for me.
Man I wish you guys would stop putting off TW3. I would really like to hear opinions about a western hit game. I imagine it would be as scrutinizing as I tend to be about anime and JRPGs over here.
How about a quick look? Would love to see Jeff and Jason get in one but I am assuming from all the random posting that Jeff is on personal leave for a special occasion. How about Jason kicking Dan's butt all over the place. I can see Dan taking a liking to that Rashid character.
I look forward to Vinny and Jeff being dumbfounded each year as PC still remains that nebulous area that is often taken for granted in the gaming community for the most part. As powerful a PC is there are a lot of intermittent flaws in them that makes it a very fractured mess of a platform. A person owning an X1 or PS4 will bitch but will still be able to play majority of good games that garner attention. Where as if you are on a MAC or Linux you get quarter of the share of games and even then those games are not guaranteed to work. Ironically as much shit gets shoveled onto console games for its performance their in house exclusves work rather flawlessly most of the time. Rather surprising that a game like Xcom2 that is a PC exclusive is having the same issues we complain about consoles. The irony is that when a console releases an exclusives they generally tend to work pretty well off the bat.
The other thing is frame rates and resolutions don't have as much weight as it does on PC. More often people are happy to trade the high end options to settle for ease of access to the best games out there. The ease of popping in a disc and expecting the game to just work for the price of a GPU sometimes sounds like a steal or at least at times I do miss the simplicity of a console. Not that my PC gaming has been terrible but its surprising the amount of workaround one might have to do for that odd game that has optimization issues (looking at you The New Order). and how much PC uses tend to never acknowledge that fact. I think there are tradoffs that you have to look at that each platform brings. If they didn't, the WII U should have been long dead by now. Time and time again its never been the most powerful system that wins, its the one that has the best balance between the two.
Also I think it was always MS's goal to unite their devices under one software. If it happens they will have to work a lot less to make deals and things available. Sony cannot afford this luxury because the PS4 is their only real hardware currently in the market. SOny games also have a reputation they have earned which is also ironic seeing as how a dated hardware is capable of earn so much praise for its graphics (ND games) No doubt UC4 will raise the bar again... while PC got a lot of brawn it aint got no class baby.
