Daylight looks promising and something I would play

I'm fairly meh about this current give away line, not as good as the three titles prior imo.

Amd better announce a decent games bundle, they've stacked recently too.

Not as good as Splinter Cell & co., if they are dead set on the F2P thing I would bundle a bunch of exclusive hats for TF2 and replace HoN with LoL.

I hope Daylight is decent. At first glance the graphics don't look that great.

Some of the screenys make the lighting look pretty neat though.

^ Bullshot!

Sadly there are no real screenshots pre-launch these days.

Gregster · 13 Mar 2014 at 15:44

This wouldn't make me rush out and buy a new GPU in truth and I expected a little better but I will be getting daylight and hopefully cheap from the MM.

Looks like Gregorio's in for a bargain when it hits the MM.

Yaayuh! · 13 Mar 2014 at 16:50

What a terrible game bundle. Lol! Bet AMD are laughing hard right now.

LtMatt · 13 Mar 2014 at 16:51

I'm quite looking forward to that daylight horror game.

EDIT

Oh, didn't see it was only £8 on steam. Wtf, must be crap then?

Orangey · 13 Mar 2014 at 16:55

"Was" £12, pre-order price (up until launch) is 33% off: £8.

Ah jeez, thats not promising. I'll pass then.

Silent_Scone · 13 Mar 2014 at 17:21

You paid for BF4 Premium didn't you?

No premium was included when i bought the game from cjs keys for £60.

Silent_Scone · 13 Mar 2014 at 17:33

Well then how's it any worse paying 8 pounds for a game that doesn't have bugs and rehashed maps

Because if a game is only £8 before its even released then its probably crap.

I love playing BF4, just as i did BF3 so i don't mind stumping up a large sum as i always get my moneys worth.

nVidia game bundles have always been a bit meh (depending on taste in games) - mostly a mix of trying to revive titles that flopped and the odd decent game.

Got splinter cell blacklist (ubisoft so won't touch it even for free), assassin's creed black flag (ubisoft so won't touch it even for free) and batman: arkham origins which I don't seem to ever have time to get into these days though I did like arkham asylum as part of the last nVidia games bundle which is a little better than the previous one but still fairly meh.

PhysicsMan94 · 13 Mar 2014 at 17:51

Meh, not the best of bundles but I don't really care about the games bundled with my graphics cards. Nvidia don't need to rely on giving away tonnes of expensive games with their GPUs in order to make sales.

Gameplay looks meh, your phone is the weapon of choice. :confused:

It's an indie title, that explains the cheapness, worth it to see the new UE4 engine though, think I'll bite.

Because the 290 lads are running the best supported gpu on BF4, we don't get all the cluster **** of bugs you get on other gpu's.

BF4 runs beautifully for me on my 780s, no issues.
