really amazing graphics for an open world game..

i played the demo yesterday and i can say that this is on my must-buy list!

everything is good-the only thing that was bothering is that you cant shoot from the car

iFLOWLIKEWATER5177d ago

Yeah, I really enjoyed the demo, although I didn't play it on a PC. I was impressed by the graphics, it looked great, like you said for an open world game.

ProjectVulcan5177d ago (Edited 5177d ago )

Its such a silly game- wonderful. I love it for not taking itself too seriously. It vaguely reminds me of the fun i had in GTA: San Andreas. The game works well with the 360 controller and visually i have everything turned on with the nvidia effects and it looks fabulous for this size open world- It also runs very well its optimised well which again is a really nice surprise! Lol

It just sooooo much fun playing with the grappling hook and parachuting, grappling cars while chuting and being flung along etc etc. Really this game has come from a reasonably good original and i honestly think based on the demo it could be a dark horse, really fantastic game. I didnt expect this.

jjesso19935177d ago

yeah i played on pc on friday maxed out 1080p really amazing graphics for sandbox game and i think you can shoot out of your car i was using my ps3 controller in 360 controller emulation and it was r2.

champ215177d ago

using the PS3 controller for these kinda games is the best, along with the PC.

I just got my eyefinity running on 3 monitors wonder how this game would look on that setup, gonna try the demo.

@champ21

This game "belongs" to nvidia, and knowing nvidia practices don't expect too much on ATI cards.

champ215177d ago

friend of mine just played it on a 4870x2 gpu, runs perfectly fine.

personally i have never had any problems running a "the way its ment to be played game" on an ati gpu. Sure some effects might be missing. I am fine with it as long as both ati and nvidia users get a well optimised game. i got few rigs with nvidia on em, and some with Ati so far no problems with any of them running any game.

though i would like to see how eyefinity performs on different games, since its something new for me.

comp_ali5177d ago

screw nvidia and its way it meant to be played

Limited_Vertigo5177d ago

I've spent the past 6hrs playing the demo. Once I found out how to cancel the 30minute timer I couldn't get enough. You're right about the graphics. I was playing the PS3 version and it was beautiful. I found myself taking the plane out and just marveling at the scenery. I suggest everyone make it to the most NorthEast town, it's on a river and the water effects are some of the best I've ever seen.

The Worst Guns in Video Games

These are the worst guns in video games. Unlike weapons that are useful and practical, these only take up space in your inventory.

Worst Games to 100% Complete

Being a completionist can be fun, but some games are more like chores than fun. Here are the worst games to 100% complete.

The Yakuza Games

Haha, yeah, currently over 100 hours into Yakuza 0. Considering going for 100% and well on the way but may not get there. Cat Fights are a real chore.

blackblades494d ago

I use to be a trophy hunter, was getting around 20 to 30 platinums a year. Had a saying of Play-Beat-Platinum, play and enjoy the game like there wasn't no trophies, beat it and at least get 50% then look at them and see if I'll platinum and platinum it. I think death star was a pain, the servers was ending so i had to rush and play that for awhile none stop. NGs2 was hard because of that online trophy but easy if you had the partner that can do it for you while you grab the enemy attention. Grinding idk, death was grinding last one I had to grind for platinum literally 1 trophy needed was dungeon travler or something vita gave up on it. After that I stop trophy hunting get like a 1 platinum a year or 0.

Knushwood Butt494d ago

Yeah, if I enjoy a game I usually go for the platinum unless there are some unreasonable trophies in there.

For Yakuza 0 I've invested too much time in it to give up just yet and most of the content is good fun, apart from Cat Fighting which is broken and dull after a couple of fights.

DarXyde493d ago

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 was literally the last platinum I got on PS3. After that, I went into PS4 kinda deflated and getting them where it felt appropriate.

I genuinely HATED that platinum, but it was a personal challenge I took upon myself. It was a lot of "get 1,000 kills with [insert weapon]" and it got to be a bit tedious. Master Ninja really pissed me off, but the WORST which you alluded to was that bloody Gold trophy for missions that you needed to do online because the AI was useless and got wrecked in moments. I jumped on the game a bit late so I struggled with finding a partner for at least 1.5 months. After that, I burned out hard with trophy hunting. I still came back for games I really enjoyed (Bloodborne, Dark Souls III, Nier: Automata, and a few others that escape me) and low hanging fruit that was just a bit time consuming and I didn't want to buy new games at the time (Final Fantasy XV). Total, it becomes clear where I taper off since I've only plat'ed 33 games since there inception of trophies which really isn't much.

Screw Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 lol. That game was pure nightmare fuel.

blackblades494d ago

I say never force getting a platinum, its not worth the trouble definitely if it costing you to waste time on chore like grind. Those brainless design trophies.

hotnickles494d ago

Dead rising was the worst one I’ve ever tried. I haven’t tried it with the modern console “rest mode” but the 360 didn’t have that.

Duke19494d ago (Edited 494d ago )

Was GTa4 the on where you had to collect a shit ton of pigeons around the map and there was no help in finding them?

roadkillers493d ago

Yep. I’d say GTASA was more difficult since there were so many collectibles

Profchaos493d ago

The saving grace was that there was only on average 50 collectables with the two exceptions being graffiti and oysters from memory horseshoes and photos were capped at 50 each.

But for me it was all the other grind that was way more painful in SA like the car export lists which even with guides took way longer than collecting stuff

iivGHOST493d ago

There was a guide book that came out with the game that had all the pigeons in it. I actually still have it

Chocoburger493d ago

One of the more recent games I got a Platinum in was Killzone: Mercenary for Vita. What a crap game, that requires so much terrible grinding.

Awful game, awful experience.

outsider1624493d ago

Oh man..wish i could get a vita. I've been trying to get a preowned too(in my country) but no luck.

CantThinkOfAUsername493d ago

I can vouch for Just Cause 2. It was the reason I quit achievement hunting. 86 hours in, the game bugged on me during one of the last side quests (it failed no matter what I did) and my save file got corrupted. Wiped it off my drive and never looked back.

SonyStyled493d ago

I downloaded the ‘complete edition’ or whatever it was called for $2 about 7yrs ago in hopes of trophy hunting it for a platinum. It always sounded fun and I would like to commit time to it but not enough for a platinum trophy
