I want Vinny to record a solo album, just him and a nylon strung guitar. I would pay for that!

Vinny reminds me a bit of Leonard Cohen.

Actually, the streaming does affect frame rate, and in this case severely so. Outside of streaming it should be ok.

Ah, PC gaming, where stuff very often doesn't work the way you'd expect it to, and you have to go googling for the most specific terms and digging through forum threads just to find out what the heck's wrong. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Oh yeah, and if you add -skipintro to the target field of a shortcut of the .exe, you can skip those stupidly long unskippable intro videos.

Ubisoft releasing shitty products has nothing to do with PC gaming.
Far Cry 4 had (has?) massive issues across all platforms!
Mind you: I'm not talking about mere glitchy stuff, I'm talking about game breaking save game corrupts, yes even on consoles.

The coop had (has?) massive syncing issues, to a point where it would render your savegame unplayable, because all the crafted items would bug out. The only way to avoid that happening (and potentially killing your 20+ hour save game) had been to stay away from playing coop, which has been the main reason why i bought the game in the first place.

Ubisoft didn't fix that issue with the first 3 patches, after that i simply did not care anymore and stopped playing and caring. What a seriously shitty experience and it bums me out how that issue did barely receive any press attention, because everybody had been too busy raging over AC:Unity..

I could skip to when the game starts, but I want to know the true depths of this bullshit.

Uh, @vinny. I don't know what nonsense you've been spewing on the bombcast in the past, but you're pretty good at Guitar.

...Although, this is coming from someone who doesn't listen to music, so take that with a grain of salt.

Seems @vinny has the same problem as me. I'm a pretty good mid tier guitar player - but it's so hard to actually say that out loud as 2 minutes on youtube will dictate. 8 year old kids being able to knock out a solo you've been practising for years. So I often end up just saying "yeah, I'm not bad". The bar is too high now, just like everything else..............except video games evidently.

So in conclusion, @silver-streak, Vinny is a pretty good guitar player!

Good/bad news: the game never really properly starts, and breaks on scripted missions constantly for Vinny.

Man, so I didn't enjoy this stream nearly as much as you guys did. It was funny when Sleeping Dogs broke, because A) he was interacting with the chat, and B) he had somebody else with him, and C) pick up the purse.

With this stream, while it was funny for about 45 minutes that the mission scripting broke every 3 seconds, a stream that was 3-4 hours long just got kind of tedious. And Vinny was alone.

I think I would've enjoyed a 3-4 hour stream of Vinny actually playing the game and it working properly and Vinny making solid progress and just doing more open world roaming, instead of being locked into the prologue for like 2 hours.
