Yes and I already have it installed.

 

[Mauri]

Done!

 

[Mave]

Hehe congrats Mauri! Did it take you the full 190 hours?

 

[Mauri]

No no, I guess it took me about 15-20 hours to get rest of the achievements.

Also thanks

Any of you guys tried Assasin’s Creed Origins yet?
Tried it real quick on Friday but couldn’t properly play it yet. Looked really nice though.

No, I want to finish up the previous games before I start Origins. Still stuck on Unity.

Well get on it then!

Really hoping Steep gets cracked sometime soon. Looks like a game I'll really like for a few hours then never play again.

But Unity sucks! The controls are clunky, The environment is confusing, the voice acting is horrible, and the missions are all "Co-op".

I went back to another playthrough of Borderlands.

Was looking forward to playing Assassins Creed Origins after it got cracked, but decided to wait until my eyes are better.
Only "game" I play now is mapping for the SA-MP server, which is pretty relaxing.

Finally tried ACO, but sadly my computer is a bit weak for it and my fps was always around 40-50 while having everything Very Low. And I don't like playing like that.
Maybe I'll get it for PS4 Pro once its price drops down a lot.

I understand completely. I remember installing GTA V on my previous laptop and having to play on low fps and lowest settings. Uninstalled after 10 mins.

Need for Speed: Payback – Deluxe Edition and all DLC has been cracked.
Will give it a try sometime this week.

 

[Stybar]

Cheers, will likely be trying it out later as well.

The US government is somehow fixated on mass shooters playing video games again. Seriously, it's getting idiotic. Correlation is not causation.

Are you sure?

Finally gave it a shot. Played through the intro, until the game finally gave me free reign.

I didn't fall in love. The driving feels... off. Like they tried to merge the arcade-y feel of the classic Underground games, with the more realistic feel of the newer games, but it failed. Using your regular brake to tackle a 90 degree corner isn't strong enough, or you have to slow down to below 100km/h, but using the handbrake to try and drift through fails, unless you have a car that's set up to handle drifts.
I don't know. Maybe it'll get better later on in the game, if I manage to get to it.

Damnit, was afraid this would be the case.. Giving it a try tonight.

I might have spoken to soon though. The cars you get in the beginning are all pre-defined. Maybe if you get free reign and are able to setup the cars exactly the way you want them, it'll be fine.
I remember the same thing in 2015 NfS. The premade cars sucked, but my custom cars (which I tweaked) handled beautifully.
