I torrented this last week, and I do not understand the missions where you're supposed to hit a convoy and kill everyone EXCEPT 1-2 special dudes. Its so fucking hard to not just waste everyone. Even on accident. The first one took me a solid 25 tries. Its frustrating and stupid. If these guys are such scumbags, why can't I just fucking kill them?

Later on in the game, that changes where you can just fucking kill them.

What I do is block the front and use either a blackout (too fucking op) ir just change lights until one car dies and destroy teh rest

apparently, the devs left the superior graphical options for PC in the game and in a working state.

My guess is that merketing told them to remove it from the PC version since consoles cant handle it and the devs got pissed off that they had to delete their work, so they added some really clear config flags in a txt file :D

This is probably the worst management and PR clusterfuck of a multiplatform AAA game for 2 generations of game console / PC.

Someone going through the files included in the PC game because he had issues with performances found some files and options just not enabled and without any options anywhere to enable them. So what TheWorse( the guy that went through the files) did was find how he could activate those options and he easily found it. What his "mod" or "patch" does is give access to the hidden options, the files he made are less than 1Mo.

So now the question is why were those disabled? bugs? I only saw one feedback that it introduced flickering for lighting in dark environment but overall the upgraded graphics also came with upgraded performances especially the textures causing stuttering.

The funny thing about this whole affair is how they communicated how PC was their main goal for the game and how it would the best on PC but still a flag-bearer for next gen consoles.
And now we start seeing PR for Far Cry 4 http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubisoft-Far-Cry-4-on-PS4-Xbox-One-Equivalent-to-PC-Ultra-High-446878.shtml stating that Xb1 and PS4 will have equivalent settings from PC Ultra High. There are only two possible outcome to this, either they magically make the consoles compete in power with recent PC or they just don't work on the engine(which is the same than Far cry 3 btw) and don't optimize it for PC so that the max you can attain on PC in graphics are what the consoles can provide.

For me Ubisoft just joined EA in the "won't see my money anymore" game publishers/producers/developers. DRM, Uplay, same game mechanics in most of their game ( AC, Far Cry, Watch Dogs share so many similar points in their open world aspects), multiplayer other than 1v1 unplayable, too many reasons not to take risks on another Ubisoft game for me.

Yeh this is pretty much a 'never buy anything from ubisoft again' thing for me now.

It's a massive disrespect to deny these options to PC users

New patch still makes the game shit. I had to uninstall.
I beat the story, pathetic ending, pathetic bosses, pathetic last sad note.

I'm only ragging on this game so hard because I really wanted it to be awesome.

Thank God Grid Autosport is coming out soon
