I never really got into FC4 but I really liked FC5. The bad guys in FC5 are just so awful that it feels good to fight against them.
I preferred Far Cry 4
Although I didn't actually wanna fight the villain in that game, I liked him more than the rebels.

Yeah and it pretty much killed HZD making it go from 7th to 21th
sony only have themselves to blame for that
4. 5 was an utterly snoozefest for me. It's a miracle I managed to play through it. I had to use different cheats to get through it. It wasn't bad, just completely and utterly uninteresting.
I bought New Dawn long time ago on sale and have yet to find an interest in playing it because of 5.
Yeah, I'm sure the fact that 6 Far Cry games are almost occupying more than half of the top 10 and the usual top 10 is 10 places down doesn't have any impact
That's not really something new, Hollow Fragment (which is the first game) has no manual save either, the game saves on changing location (which you do pretty frequently).
Lost song saves as you sleep in the inn and Hollow Realization has autosaves as well (haven't played these yet, wanna go through HF first when time allows)
I'm honestly thinking about rebuying the far cry games just to have them on steam.
I prefer five over four, but five was my first game that I played on a high refresh rate display. So, I'm biased.
But both are UBI open world games. You run around liberate camps and gather resources. Five is a bit more streamlined.
Couldn't find the GOG thread here so I ask here:
I decided to downlaod Ultima 7 (VII), but I can't and that's what confuses me. Ultima VII Complete Edition are in my GOG Galaxy 2, but install button on it is greyed out. It also don't show up in my GOG library on the website nor searching for it on the website, but googling the GOG page the game up and says "owned".

it doesn't ... if sony didn't fuck up regional pricing it would still be on top
Do they still have that GOG downloader thing? If so turn it off. Or try the client.
I like GOG Galxy 2 as it has a lot of options for the library and stuff, but the client feels like it's hold back with ducktape. Crashing issues, library issues, sync issues etc.
EGS on the other hand is stable in the way that it doesn't crash, but it lacks so many features (which I guess is the reason it doesn't crash) and it is slow and laggy which is amazing considering how small my library is on EGS compared to my Steam library.
Using Steam after using GOG Galaxy 2 and EGS makes me feel Steam is running on black magic.
Sure there are things I want Valve to do better, but it's so fascinating to have an installed library of 50 games or so and the amount of features, yet the Steam client is neither slow or laggy or rarely ever crashes.
So far there are only 2 things that made Steam slower or freeze up for some seconds which is when I want to load up my uncategorized/not-installed library of thousand games which means that Steam must load up all the library game pictures and when I had game icons enabled so when I scrolled down quickly Steam froze, so I disabled game icons.
Edit: Installing Alpha Centauri on GOG made Galaxy 2 crash.
Edit 2: Jesus christ, Alpha Centauri is stuck at 551mb/570mb. Is GOG getting their servers and client codes from the MS Store?

If that Tomb Raider thing is more than just a bundle of the existing games, I might be in.
I'm not expecting a remaster, but a modern controller support and achievements would go a long way.

The one thing that slows down Steam consistently for me is opening up the tab with all my collections. Presumably because it loads artwork to display on each category. Though, I also have over 70 categories and I don't want use the simplified library, which does load them smoothly.
You can invade camps while riding elephants in fc4
That is a very strong argument.
I vote 'fuck that noise'.
If you want to replay them, that's fair, but if it's just to have them on steam, I'm sure there will be other sales.

this. It’s a fairly pointless reason if I were to be blunt I’m afraid
Both, if I'm going to replay I want to do it on steam.I vote 'fuck that noise'.

Oh to be fair again, that's a thing we all did at one point or another I think. I just genuinely want our friend to avoid doing the same 'mistake'. Or doing it with full knowledge of the relative pointlessness of it. That is if he indeed has access to the games via other means.this. It’s a fairly pointless reason if I were to be blunt I’m afraid
I did a voice of reason post. Damn, am I getting old.
I had a quick look and there seems to be a problem/conflict with Ultima VII Complete Collection and Ultima VII with the Expansions. I cannot install Ultima VII Complete either. Someone mentions a workaround in this thread but i haven't tried it yet or done more than skim the thread tbh.
GOG - Ultima VII Complete Collection Install Issue
That is pretty much exactly my experience with FC5 and ND... I didnt use cheats but it took me a long time to play through it because it was so utterly boring (for the most part). As always with FC, my favourite part was taking over hostile outposts.
Would it hurt steam to give us a proper count down, instead of "two hours, but it could also be three, or maybe closer to one"?
Fc5 has coop mode if u r into that but it tends to spawn enemies while u r exploring some areas

JaseC has been begging them to fix it for YEARS now
guess Gaben just doesn't like Australians or something (can't say i'm surprised, though
)

I've been rebuying games just to have them on Steam for years, it's simply just a lot more convenient.
Yeah, I would be thrilled to get native basic resolution options + anti-aliasing options built in and achievements. For the 360 era trilogy just throw in achievements and the exclusive 360 DLC for Underworld.
We are two hours away from playing a Sony game on PC, streamed to Switch, and play with Xbox Controller.
Nope, I am very much not into that. Far Cry 4 it is. Also, it turns out that I will review Death Stranding. I don't know how to feel about that.
Yeah, but it's not the same amount in the min req part of the game page
Probably compression. Sometimes you don't download the same size that the game takes on disk.
Some madmen play PC games on Switch through streaming.
Are there any downsides to jailbreaking a switch apart from the loss of warranty?
