I have this game on steam, waiting to play it hopefully this is much better!
I havn't played for a while, since I got really bored with the game after a few hours. The issues with the port also add to it. Maybe I should take a look at how it performs. As of now, I am really dissapointed with the game overall.
Good to hear. My cousin bought this game on PC has been enjoying the game with the time he's been able to play but lately he's been demotivated to continue to play due to numerous crashes he keeps having.
nice job,
keep on keeping on gg!
Wow, people defend crap ports.
it's not surprising, especially when those same ppl that downvote, will in turn cite PC for crappy ports, yet defend a crappy port.
I guess this really is going to have me waiting till next year, if I want to play the game as it should have been on day friggin 1.
Next time do the port yourselves rather than allowing that shitty developer to do it.
This was not done by Guerrilla Games ?
Virtuous handled the port
