In Dishonored I always try to start sneaky, then something goes wrong, everything goes tits up, and I end up having to slay the lot.

I hate the morality system because you get "punished" for straying from your sneaky play-style. Restarted some of the missions and went on a murder spree, otherwise you never get a chance to use most of your gadgets.

Far Cry has no morality system, which is win! I can run around picking off people using stealth, or if I get spotted, just mow them all down with grenades and heavy weapons :thumbs:

Suffering? Don't have numbers on hand but it's running well on my rig. Will update once I get home.

If it's really low it might be due to the two different exe's. One for DX11 and one standard. Sometimes the GPU doesn't create a profile for the one that you are running.

Not really, it's just when I first loaded it seemed a bit sluggish. When I tested with FRAPS I saw it was only 30FPS (This was on ULTRA, 1080p with 8x MSAA). I realised that dropping MSAA to x2 improved FPS to consistent 60s.

There's a hell of a lot of rendering to do with all those objects; especially if you're maxxing the settings and running on DX11.

I tend to set MSAA down otherwise it adds to much blur to the pixels. Also, it's a resource whore :)

:fencelook::fencelook: FC3 and AC3 share very similar elements

I see what you mean. Lots of "hunting and gathering"....

I'm always out of ammo:fencelook:


I keep on sneaking up on animals and then I forget I don't have a hidden blade :facepalm:

Really been enjoying FC3 so far, except that I have not really done any of the main quests. Just hunting and discovering: Shooting sharks with AK-47s and killing leopards and tigers with recurve bows.:fencelook:

I've got most of the crafting done now.

Still enjoying Far Cry 3.

Finished all of the side quests and tower/outpost missions on the first island.

Played a few main quests.

Completed Far Cry 3 today::grin:

The main story missions were kinda short but really fun.:thumbs:

Luckily there are lots of side missions keeping you busy: taking over outposts by frying everyone with a flamethrower or taking them out silently with a sniper rifle, climbing creaky radio towers in thunder storms, assassinating pirates with only a knife, hunting unique animals (like man eating great white sharks and golden tigers) with bows and looking for all of the relics and lost letters.:idea:

Bought FC3 and looking forward to playing it. Been playing Forza Horizon and am very impressed thus far!

Petri, I'm constantly fooled by your title thinking its a choice of car you're having issues with and then I see those vid games.
Don't get me wrong ... I'm no balli, I still have my PS1 in the garage from 1996 got the Wii for the wife's fitness and PS3 for Blu ray, which has moved to games room and replaced by 3d Blu ray player.

So u see... I'm down with Tech but this gaming thing just .... Mmm , I don't see the point.. Time crisis,gran Turismo and Forza are my favs but dude -- I don't do fantasy

Maybe it being in the "gaming" section should have been a hint:tease:
