Hand itchy to buy something...Grid Autosport is on the list. Glad I waited from Halloween sale..

But thinking of getting either DA:I, BF4 Premium. But I know for sure DA:I won't be my cup of tea.

But would love to know Cheesenium thoughts on BF4...

I do recommend Autosport. Great driving physics, good amount of content in terms of cars and tracks which made it really fun to play in single player. The only problem is, the career is average and MP is bad in general. Still, its still a competent racing game to play on solo considering the AI is good and the game has a lot of content for solo play.

Season pass is optional cause the price is a bit high. The content is quite good though, almost 2 dozen of new cars, 3 point to point tracks, 2 new british race tracks from Grid 1 and a brand new drag racing mode that is quite fun.

I just got BF4 recently so i wont comment much on it. So far my impression is, it feels a bit like BC2 in some ways as maps do have multiple paths to travel and some maps are huge even for 64 players that is filled with places to fight. Unlike BF3's maps where there are mostly a few concentrated fighting spot and the other places are empty. Unlocks are less painful now.

guess not.. steam review section, quite a number mentioned problems when turning and accelerating.. seems like a game engine problem  shocking.gif  sweat.gif

seems like hot pursuit is the winner  smile.gif

Shift 2 is quite good. The driving is immersive, tonnes of content and a decent customisation systems for the cars. However, if you are expecting it to be an arcade racer, i think its better you get Burnout Paradise because thats the best arcade racer by EA on Steam. Shift 2's handling physics does need a bit of practise to play, its not a racing game that you pick up and play. You need to go lighter on the accelerator especially late game cars. Gamepad is mandatory because this game is not calibrated for keyboard. There also might be some fiddling to get it to work now but if you like to mod, you could get a lot more cars than the game offers. The copy I have on my PC has almost doubled the car count with different interesting vehicles to drive.

Hot Pursuit is not worth buying because the single player races are awful. Blatantly obvious catch up AI and dull single player races. The strength of the game lies in MP which is probably dead now.

Personally, Steam review is untrustable. Too many circle jerk reviews and some of them are terribly written.

yea too tempted now.. after researching deeper it is meant to be a simulation, not an arcade racer. I have xbox controller.. yet it's my first time attempting on a race game using it.. hope it turns out well  sweat.gif

Grid Autosport looks good too... somemore just released @@ .. only scare my rig cannot support if too high end. this game double the price of Shift 2... hmm.

If i had to pick one, I say Grid Autosport. It is a good balance between simulation and arcade while being very accessible. Playable even on keyboard. The game also offer a lot content despite they are recycled from other games. Sepang in F1 2014 is still the same Sepang in Grid, so why bother making new one?

The game is quite low end system friendly, you can play it also on an integrated card.

None of them, both have dying MP community.

Either go with Titanfall or Battlefield 4.

You really need to be a South Park fan to enjoy it though.

It does get a bit disturbing at some parts so be prepared for it.

Dishonored base game RM9.5 worth to buy? Review everywhere on Internet quite good, but anyone has played it got any comment?

Should I get the GoTY package?

Get GOTY as if you missed it, its gonna be expensive to upgrade in the future or burn a copy of the game.

Legendary Edition comes with all the DLC content, this should be the version you should aim for.

I say wait for encore sale first on second of January before buying. Skyrim will probably appear on Encore.

Kinda waste buying singleplayer game since you can download the crack one lol

So single player developers don't have to make money then because you think its a waste of money to buy single player games?

Really?

Thanks for this honest opinion. So I guess getting SimCity 4 might be a better choice right?
*
Get Sim City 4 or wait for Cities Skylines.



Still hope it might be good. The simulation seemed decently in depth at least but im concern about bugs and lag.

i tried playing Simcity 4... but the graphics just turn me off before i can go deeper lol.

it's cheap tho so u can wait for sales, get it and see if it suits you. Gameplay wise it is still deep  smile.gif

Simcity 2013 has much better graphics and UI. just that the price. I don't find it's worth it. Max discount for complete edition is at 50% during winter sales - after conversion still around RM60. You can download the trial at Origin and see if it suits you... trial lasts for 4 hours before expire. Once start have to play up all 4 hours else time will keep counting.

if you can afford i'd say better go for Simcity 2013. It is more likely you will play the game longer there. SC4 graphics reaaally outdated.. u zoom in can actually see boxy pixels  sweat.gif not optimized for latest PCs.
*
Not sure whats your obsession with graphics, having the best looking engine like Sim City 2013 does not guarantee good gameplay.

I'll take Sim City 2000 any day over that shitty reboot with buggy simulation and pathetically small building spaces. Even a one man project, Banished is leaps and bounds better than Sim City 2013.

SC4 is old but it is satisfying to build cites on it and you dont max it out in 6 hours of play time.

I agree to both of u, can't say obsessed with graphic but eye candy really pump up the gaming experience and Sim City 2013 is very playable now really. Once a while I'll play the Transport Tycoon/OpenTTD.. outdated graphic but it's fun to play.
*
I dont know about you but what EA did to Sim City 2013 is unforgivable as they literally butcher up the game into something that should never be made. It is no longer sim city while a lot of the game's simulations are broken.

The eye candies are great and they add a lot to the feeling of the game but the problem is, the game offers barely any depth under the beautiful graphics. That just isnt the Sim City game remake I expected to see.

Sim City 2013 is literally C&C 4 to the C&C series where both games barely resembles it's predecessors.
