You can preorder on Steam now, 9 months early...

Might switch back to Nvidia by then, might actually play a game with settings turned up.

They all look like they will add to the witcher 3 being a stunning game visually and my most anticipated game of 2015

Yep. Batman for me first and then the Witcher 3. I seriously need to fire up the Witcher 2 but just not feeling it.

Ignore, wrong thread.

A game that would be worth pre-ordering for me.

No game is worth preordering for me, don't think i've actually played any of the latests hyped up games. I only preorder now if i've got money to waste

Ubisoft gets a big custard pie from me. You just know they'll botch these up and coming games.

Which Ubisoft games do you own?

Own or played? Played most of them. Actually own

Farcry 3
Blood Dragon
Splinter Cell Conviction
World In Conflict
Farcry 2
Brothers in Arms
Faces Of War

That's all i can think of, probably have more laying around.

I don't mind. Most of my games have less than an hour playtime though. It is rare to find a gem and play it to death.

Lately I have completed Tomb Raider - FarCry 3 - Two Brothers - all the Batman games - Bastion (great voice overs) - Bioshock Infinite - GTA IV.... Actually, I have completed quite a lot more than I thought

And do they all play crap?

Enough of their recent ones to make me avoid them. Hopefully things change, but given this announcement i shall remain skeptical and see what it's like when the games release.

Waiting for The division BUT will not pre order due to the fact I pre dordered Watch Dogs, then brought if for the PS4

Gregster · 8 Jun 2014 at 18:33

I can't blame any one for not pre-ordering any of the UBI games in fairness. They do release some good games mind.

From my experience it's best to just not get involved with the hype, this was my "strategy" for Black Flag and Watch Dogs (didn't pre-order either of them, and got Black Flag free with my 2nd 780 actually

) and it's worked pretty well so far - really enjoyed ACIV and am really enjoying Watch Dogs at the moment

So Watchdogs using sli is good for you?

I do vaguely remember Matt going on how good FC3 played. Was an evolved title though

I don't think so. You had to perform a number of tweaks to get it to run 'reasonably' well on crossfire. You could remove most of the stutter, but it would still do it. Some fault with the engine as fps would just drop for no reason in certain parts. Ubisoft making a mess of it as per. It may have run well on my single 7970, can barely remember that far back but ive had crossfire setups only since then. Farcry 3 was a mess. Just google it.

Have you not tried it recently?

Even trisli is working

It's alright but not brilliant, driving is a bit of a mess with lots of hitching and sometimes I get big frame drops whilst on foot too (this is at 1440p with everything at max except for AA). But it's not awful and I'm confident that it will be fixed, thoroughly enjoying the game anyway

Overall I get around 75-80fps with the occasional drop into 40s on foot and huge drops into 20/30s whilst driving.

I know, played for a bit a was a stutter fest, even with a single card it was next to unplayable, same as black flag....terrible.

Black Flag runs great for me, only time I had big frame dips was in the pirate hideout (Tortuga I think it was called) near the mansion for some reason, other than that I found it pretty smooth.
