Thankfully verifying cache in Steam and disabling Origin Auto Update helped. Now back to Steam.

That's an odd bug. Hopefully EA isn't gonna try to do something funny. At least its fixed now.

I pretty much use my phone for steam chat after blizzard actively trying to stop you from using Steam overlay. I use Steam overlay for chat and also for the music player.

Was I being flirt on steam?

Heres the story, I was playing Payday2 with the steam name under my signature. So I joined a game and played with a player called blade-iii for 4 or 5 rounds maybe idk and we were chatting. I have no idea why he thinks I am a girl, and keep shooting pick up lines  doh.gif  Other two player are my friends so they went with the flow and said I am a girl.

he added me, and started to talk all sort of thing, for half an hour.  rclxub.gif And lastly he wanted to buy me Far Cry 4. HE WANTED TO BUY ME FARCRY4! FARCRY4! FARCRY4! He's a Scottish, and Scotland is the world 14th or 15th something... richest country in the world.  hmm.gif  brows.gif 

What should I do. Never flirt with someone before, neither be flirted by a stranger  LOL.

And YEAH... he's 13 years old.  doh.gif
*
Lol. Part of me wants to take far cry 4 while the other part of me feel like rejecting him cause its kinda arse. If he is actually a 13 years old, probably will be in hot water if his parents find out.

Since he is from Scotland, I guess its unlikely for him to come to Malaysia and flip the country to find you so I guess its ok.

Still, its fukken far cry 4 for $0.00!!!! Take far cry 4, then maybe also get CoD AW, Evolve, GTAV. Free AAA games for being a tarp yo! That doesn't happen everyday.

Finished Banner Saga.

It was surprisingly good. I thought it was just a so so game as there isnt much fan base behind it but I was pleasantly surprised. The story, especially, it feels extremely mundane and plain initially but it gets more and more tense as you play. Then, it ends pretty decently with a little cliffhanger despite there are 2 more games in the series.

Cant wait for the second game if their writing is that good.

Such as?

Cant be that bad seriously. It is glitchy but the rest cant be that bad.

Its a game made by hundreds of people for 3-4 years, they cant just fish it all up for no reason. doh.gif

Thanks for informative post. I guess this game will be another pass for me. Never like how Ubisoft does their games. Some of the new features are interesting, especially the combat.

Might as well post that comments on the review page of AC:U too...devs need to learn that gamers nowadays are smarter. Especially for PC gamers  whistling.gif

In other news,

A part from the singleplayer prowess of COD:AW - which has never let me down, the MP seems too shallow. Not to mention the usual matchmaking system that's full with flaws.

I still think that Titanfall's MP is superior. It is much more polished, with dedicated servers and such. It's a shame that the players for Titanfall is decreasing by the day. For those who think that boost jump and dodge is cool, wait till you try wall run in Titanfall.

But since I have a soft spot for the COD Franchise, I will still play it despite its flaws.
*
I dont know. I am pretty disappointed with AW. The campaign is the same old that I am pretty tired off with some off performance issues, like blank faces as textures arent streamed yet.

While in MP, it is still the same spray and pray gameplay that plagued CoD since MW2. Except now got jump and air dodge. The balance is better but i still find SMG to be the best weapons despite i really like the laser gun.

The worst thing is, the inconsistent ping is killing all the fun.

QUOTE(Davidtcf @ Nov 18 2014, 04:11 PM)
it is that bad bro.. Totalbiscuit is never wrong.

+ other bugs also not just FPS issues... weird upskirts, pixels missing, able to jump on top of a NPC without being noticed, etc. sweat.gif looks like Ubisoft's worst release for a new game.. sorry to those that pre-ordered it.
*
No no no, TB does get things wrong. Sometimes really wrong too, like some of his WTF on racing games or puzzle games are absolutely terrible. He is amazing on most AAA and weird indie games.

I mostly use his videos as an extended gameplay footage. And I mostly find my opinion on a game similar to his in some ways.

I just dont agree with his recent AW WTF as I am actually pretty disappointed by the game. The netcode is really really shit and its still the same spray and pray gameplay. I am actually itching to go back to Battlefield after playing AW.

I agree about the performance issue..they need to sort it out...we don't deserve low quality console graphics. Haha.

That's why I said that Titanfall is an overall a better game. Even its TDM game mode is more satisfying since there are two phases you get to experience during matches (as a pilot and titan).
*
Well, MP is alright though, it just too much run and gun. It isnt too buggy while it generally runs reasonably.

I havent played much of Titanfall but isnt the community is dying?

QUOTE(Rei7 @ Nov 18 2014, 05:56 PM)
Cheesenium AC Unity is shit.. I also tried the game on my friends rig and it sucks like no tomorrow. Removing the hidden blade is the worst thing ever. And this new hero for AC is weak as hell.. hahaha

Also I told you if I bought COD AW i'll be disappointed myself. Didn't think you'd be that disappointed as well. Because everything is still similar in every way imaginable except for being a bit face paced compared to others with those bionic thing.
*
sweat.gif

Hopefully that will be a lesson to Ubishit so that they stop rushing games for holiday season. ACU kinda made me want to boycott all their future stuff.

I thought i'll like it but the technical issues really made it hard to enjoy. And also, I always have been more of a Battlefield fan. I like completing objectives, than just shoot and shoot.

Titanfall community is still there but lesser people play it everyday with new shooter games coming out.
In the end it will end up like any other multiplayer shooter games where the fans stick and play while the regular comes and go. That is pretty normal I guess. I really love multiplayer aspect of the game, something fresh and cool.

I'm just waiting for Ubikayu to self destruct again with Far Cry 4. That will be the last straw for me if that game turns to shiat as well lol.

Well well, then you will like Killzone as well I guess. Because there is objectives. I also like BF more but BF4 sucks like there is no tomorrow, thanks to a bad launch and crashing everywhere. Finally they fixed it in the end though for PC. Console version seems to be working fine from the start...I just ask a few people at Cyberfusion and there were not much issues like PC.
*
The problem with Ubisoft is, their games are designed on the same core: Run to an area, then, reveal area with various stuff to do. However, it is designed like there are only some content that are fun, while some other are a chore to play. I like taking outpost in FC3 but I really hate the part where you look for stuff to craft items.

I know, Killzone is my kind of game but heard Shadowfall on PS4 did not do very well though.

QUOTE(faidz85 @ Nov 18 2014, 07:57 PM)
All the talks claiming that Titanfall is dying is because there are difficulties finding lobbies for the other game modes. For me, I never failed to find any TDM games. And when you find games, the lag is minimal unlike COD.
SP is gooding, COD standard is like playing a movie character. And the CGI is impressive also...

Really? Even for SEA servers?

QUOTE(ChocChristy @ Nov 18 2014, 08:02 PM)
Dang now Titanfall for RM30 is very tempting. Though problem is the DLCs. Need them for it to be more fun, and the co-op is paid DLC too right?

RM30 for Titanfall, where?

It was on Amazon for USD 9.99 last week. It's gone now. But I think I will cave and get it if it's USD 9.99 again. Found out co-op comes with the free update. So that's awesome.

Really hope the community won't die by then. I'm really banking on the fact that there will be loyal fans that are still playing. Or else die la. Though at least we can still play co-op with each other lol

It shouldnt be dead but it just keep shrinking lol.

I was thinking of downloading BF4 instead.

AW was disappointing and I want a shooter.

The pirates or mercenaries dont do much. They sit there and let you capture it, then, they never fight back or anything.

The world in FC3 is even more dead than Skyrim. Little reactivity, while the AI is incredibly basic.

GOtta jump in and agree on the fact that nearly all Ubisoft games (those that i play anyway) feel really repetitive. When I first played black flag I looked at the world map and notice how beautifully large it is.

But all the activities are the same. Raid warehouses, attack forts, etc. Done almost a quarter of the map, and see the rest 3/4 are the same.

On the "climb tower and activate" thingy too. How do the gamers not realise this? They manage to put this in FC,AC and even WD. Like, seriously they have no other ideas? How can the people in Ubisoft not highlight this dull, repetitive element is beyond me.
*
Thats why I stopped buying any Ubisoft games. They think its fine to recycle so much gameplay but to me, even playing one game made me kinda tired of all their games in their catalog because they use the same core. At the same time, they dont really vary the gameplay from one game to another. Also, the prevalence of season pass and microtrasactions.

Ubisoft does make some of the best looking art in the game industry with some of the biggest open worlds but they are so lacking of substance. It is like a sea with 1cm think ocean.

Heck, I even got bored with their Valiant Hearts. That game has too many fillers and boring puzzles where I think it does take some talents to make an intriguing looking game so dull.

Phew, download is 20 Gb, after installation is 50 Gb, and 35 Gb is purely audio. >.>

My lappy can't support BF4 mp, or maybe it was the latency, I was lagging quite crazily when I tried. Finished the SP though.

I think I'll download and try the game too. Let me know if you are starting Origin Game Time.

Cheesenium Getting Space Hulk Ascension?
*
Already bought and finished tutorial yesterday.

First impressions,

Pros:
- No more buggy release like the first game. It is actually released in better state than the first game.
- Still the same unforgiving Space Hulk game I played on my iPad. You need to Overwatch a lot while Genestealers very much kill you in one shot.
- Confusing board game rules are gone as they changed all the dice rolls into percentages. The game will also tell you the break down of the percentages so you know what are you getting.
- The map doesnt reveal its layout when you start, ie: you only see the first 3 meters in front of you which adds a lot to the claustrophobic feel to the game. At the same time, you cant see the Genestealer spawns. It is a lot darker and spooky now. Love the new atmosphere. They also added about 100 new maps into the game, so you have quite a bit of longevity.
- Some major gameplay changes, some weapons, at least Bolters and Flamers so far has different firing modes. For example, you can choose between Sustained Shots that fires more shots that consumes more ammo, Aimed shots that uses less ammo but more accurate or Burst Shots that fire more shots with some loss in accuracy. Flamer now has different flame patterns. You also need to reload Bolters now while weapons do have persistent heats where the more heat you have on your Bolter, the higher chances it will jam.
- Combi weapons, like Bolter-Flamer, Bolter-Plasma and Bolter- Melta. They do add new gameplay as these weapons combines 2 weapons in one. Melta is Broadlord killer. There is also Cyclone Missile Launcher where it is like carrying a multi missile launcher into your missions. One shit kill Broadlords too and can do area damages.
- There is a new playable Chapter, Ultramarines, they have exclusive access to Cyclone Missile Launchers. They are the ranged focused chapter in the game, while Space Wolves is melee and Blood Angels are in between both.
- There are new types of Genestealers where some does range damages and there is one variant that do very heavy melee damages. They do make gameplay a lot more interesting.
- The game offers customisation options and also progression. You can customise the loadout of your squad like, giving them different types of weapons to customise their visuals. Also, they do level up now, like a typical RPG and you can allocate stats to specialise them. Very XCOM-ish to me now which is good
- The graphics are vastly improved with dynamic lighting and soft shadows, looks really good now. Textures also seemed to be improved a lot too. It is a lot higher resoltion with some decent specular effects.
- The animations are changed so Terminators moves faster and looks more fluid.

Cons:
- The UI is a lot worse, I dislike the new radial menu on your units as I prefered the XCOM UI style. It is cleaner and easier to see. I sitll do not know how much CP and AP I have.
- Clipping issues, even though most clipping issues are gone, like swords clipping through the wall when you command your sergeant to walk, some like clipping through the corner still persists.
- No more mission briefing before mission starts with voice acting. I kinda miss the old "Sergeant of the Squad", accept your orders" from the first game. Voice acting feels like it is recycled from the first game.
- Might still be very intimidating for new players.
- Embarrassing spelling errors, like misspelling Blood Angels to Blood Angles. The developers are patching this as I write this.

Yes, I do recommend this game.
