    Managed to pick this up recently, its quite good put i'm getting this black screen issue when playing in full screen or navigating the menu. I have a Sapphire r9 290 with 4gb ram. I'm using the latest and greatest drivers but it's still happening. Had a look on line but nothing and people mention flashing my video cards bios. I have no idea where to begin here...anyone here have this problem?

    HAs anyone played the DLC for this?
    I saw there was a season pass and either I'm losing my mind of it seems like 2 very average stand-alone Story packs.
    I don't really see anything online pointing to the DLC being Value for money

    In fairness, the game itself is pretty average so I wouldn't be too surprised if the dlc followed that.

    The bright lord dlc is supposed to be decent. I was a big fan of the game and would like to try it - might wait till GOTY edition goes to the bargain bins first!

    The hunting one was merely a reskinning of some of the wildlife, very disappointing. Didn't go back to it since then.

    Played this for a while lately and couldn't get into it. Tedious combat and enemies. Boring landscape and quests.

    Does it get better as you progress? I put 12 hours into it thinking it might 'click' and it was a struggle.

    You're probably 80% of the way to the end of the game if that's the case

    Exact same experience for me, game didn't grab me at all despite sinking a lot of hours into it. Just felt like I was making no progress or something.

    It is funny how some games grab you and others don't, or how some people love a game and others think its crap.

    Dishonoured and Dark Souls are examples of this for me. Some people loved them, I personally thought they were garbage.

    I haven't gone back to it after finishing the main story and being severely disappointed by the ending. Completely spoiled the game for me.

    There wasn't a lot of hours to actually sink into it. I got 100% in the campaign in around 16 hours

    There's nothing to go back to really.
    It's not like there are 270 things to pick up.

    Did any more DLC appear for this? If something has a season pass, doesn't that suggest, I dunno, seasons of DLC or something to do?

    I got the super duper edition with season pass for €25 I think, so I don't feel like I've been ripped. I definitely got €25 worth of game out of it.

    The exception that proves the rule.
    That being said all the DLC, even bought individually, is value for money in that instance

    It has to have one of the worst endings to a game ever. It was so disappointing. The game as a whole was grand though if a bit repetitive at times but that ending

    There's two single player expansions isn't there? Haven't played them yet mind you.

    Finally got around to playing the Bright Lord dlc this weekend. Its pretty tought taking it on from scratch having not played the game in two years but I'm seriously enjoying it. The character isnt as OP as the original guy and a couple of hits depletes the health so a lot of stealth and strategy required. It's taken me the guts of 10 hours to brand 2/5 warchiefs and do most of the missions on the map. Probably finish it in another three or four. Well worth it as it's so cheap now for the GOTY version.
