Never got to post a review...but whatever. This game is great. Ven, I don't know why you're having a hard time sniping people...I sneak around and do it all the time. Plus, I never drive either. If I use any vehicle I take advantage of the rivers.

This game is awesome, but I've got a gripe on the PC..

Is it just me, or does anyone notice a HUGE performance hit when there's extensive (or even just minor) collision detections nearby? I used to think it was just the shotgun, because every time I got into a firefight against people with the shotgun, I'd drop to 0 fps for like 2 minutes while it sits there and finally finishes the shotgun fire. I then found a 'fix' for that, and it helped slightly, but now that I'm further into the game, I notice that it happens whenever two things hit each other (excluding enemies/npc). So, if I crash my vehicle into some douchebag's vehicle cause he won't move out of my way, I have to wait, literally, 2-4 minutes for it to finish 'catching up' from the lag, meanwhile enemies can still fire on me just fine, and I usually find myself dead before the lag is finished. Other than that, I can run the game fine at 30+ fps with max graphics and 4x AA.

The latest patch seems to have fixed it. I'm guess it has something to do with 5.1 support, because that's the only thing that changed that I can logically assume would cause a problem. And, come to think of it, I've had a sound problem in the past before, where, once I replaced my sound card, everything ran just fine. Yay to Ubisoft for fixing it with a software update.

Also, I don't see why people complain that this is too brown.. sure, at 6-8 in the morning when there's fog, the fog is brown, but..

Sure, the ground is brown, but trees are green, water looks awesome, the distant mountains are gray, sky is blue as can be.. mayhaps I am just in a bright area.


EDIT: God. Anyone know of a free image hosting site that keeps resolution at what it's supposed to be? That image should be 1920x1200.

Yeah I got this game not too long ago, and although it was alright, I haven't really played it too much recently (and stopped completely after I got Fallout) because;

1. I got really fucking tired of being shot at everywhere I go
2. It takes too long getting from place to place. It feels like I'm DRIVING everywhere. Can't I get a plane, or a ride?
3. Too brown
4. It feels very lonely.

I'll probably get back around it, but man.

Exact reasons why I quit it... For Fallout, too! Ha,ha.
