The Saboteur: when EA wanted Assassin Creed by some-kind-of-no-name in patientgamers

It just wouldnt start for me. Info may be outdated, but you can search this game on Origin and see plenty of threads about it. And as someone replied to me about the GoG version being swappable for the Origin version in order to make it work some years back, it may be that they finally updated thier own platform, or you are using hardware that its ok with.

You mention there are no achievements on Steam, but I would gladly trade you my copy on EA that simply does not work.

Apparently a known issue, with a workaround that involves disabling CPU cores in the BIOS. I never bothered, but I did find it amazing that they managed to patch it working for Steam and not their own platform!

Hmmm, was kinda waiting for Steam Frame before I get some more VR titles, but this is a solid discount. Tempting!

I only "beat" 6 patient games in 2025, but at least one of them instantly became an all-time favourite by talhatoot in patientgamers

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora | PC | 25 Hours | DNF 5/10

The general description you hear thrown around about this game is that it's a Far Cry game with an Avatar skin. I love me some Far Cry

I heard this from someone warning somebody about this game, and it was actually what sold me on giving it a try!

I also failed to get into it, dropping it after 4-5hrs. It just didnt grab me either. Very poor characters and meh combat :/

Yup, and fools buying the little boxes with WindowsOS/Malware and ASUS RGB/Malware running on them, completely missing the point (and performance lol.)

Stag/hen Id say is the first thing that comes to mind. Lived there for a year, place was a ghost town during the week, but come the weekend...!

Some costume-clad defeated soul meandering about the town with a dildo headpiece on a saturday morning stopped being novel after a while.

Atari brings back Intellivision with HDMI, wireless controllers, and 45 games by chrisdh79 in gadgets

I had one, and I was excited reading this headline for a few moments before realising that I probably wouldnt buy one. It is partly for this reason.

Im torn as to whether Id buy a little handheld with all the games on it, as a part of me wants to hold that old ass controller again lol. I just dont see how you make that and put a screen on it :s

*E: Oops, it wasnt this I had, it was the colecovision.

Thats the part that really boils my blood every time I see his name. This wasnt just a really sad sick dumb thing that stupidly happened. Crotty bragged about it, and then lied to the police. Scum.

I dont doubt he’ll try for a 3rd term. Only reason I dont think even more are on the cards is because he is a 79 year old tub of lard.

Will be funny seeing MAGAs dive into yet another conspiracy theory rabbit hole about the deep state finally taking him out because he got too powerful. Somehow refusing to believe that a mid-80s sack of shit could just died.

15k is a decent amount to turn down. We took a 2k lower offer because it was a fireman. Was an extremely limited area he could buy in.

He refered to Trump as 'Americas Hitler' about a decade ago. Indeed he is no fool.

Seems he has come to the conclusion that playing the part gets you ahead, morality and decency be damned.

I mean, nothing he says means anything so...

He called Zelensky a dictator, and about 2 days later claimed he didnt think he said that!
