DA:Inquisition featured on Origin main page, 33% off for both standard and deluxe:
https://www.origin.com/en-sg/store/buy/7436...tandard-edition

hmm true also... u have a point. Maybe wait our currency stabilize first?


DA:I more action focus now, very different compare to DA1 and 2. Physics and effects greatly enhanced in DA:I. Story is still awesome. I find it less complicated now with less conversation options compare to prev DAs. It's a good thing.. else spend too much time talking with NPCs and choosing a conversation answer.


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

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.

bought all of Anno 2070 DLCs and also CS:GO.

Anno 2070 on 75% off... get the complete edition then don't have to be like me come back to get the DLCs later.. damn good city building game set in the future

yesterday played Endless Space till 4am.. really blew my mind off as a 4X. didn't thought it to be so good since it's kinda dated. Next off to Endless Legend, my skills have improved after playing ES (both almost similar concepts).

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009IR1SR...iew_asin_detail

downloading now (most of them not exceeding 3GB in size).. hope can play most of it... this is nostalgia for me (completed most of it in pirate mode last time)

steps to buy a US download-only game on Amazon:

1. create Amazon account.
2. click buy. enter any local credit card (visa, master, amex all can go through even if it's not a US card)
3. enter US address at the "billing address section", use Google and find any generator. You can try this: http://fakeusaaddress.com/
4. the purchase should go through and you'll get the CD Key on the same page once done.

another guide online proves it: http://www.ghacks.net/2012/06/30/how-to-pu...outside-the-us/

note: pls make sure u buy Digital Download Only games.. else later end up it's a hardcopy they will ship to the said address

that is not the worst part.. worst part is 3 times activation only.

u can only activate the code on 3 different computers .. once past that it won't work anymore

so far i'm ok with Uplay. Only once it messed up my Farcry 3 saves... dunno where it went as i reformatted my desktop. Had to start playing from the very beginning. Kinda shitty that the cloud is not dependable.

good.. although through all that Uplay shit the game is still very solid. one of my favourite city games now.

campaign is very exciting.. watching your cities grow is fulfilling.. cleaning up those waste and pollution is also challenging. And finally undersea exploration! srsly no other city building game is like it

SimCity I played the trial ... yet... they stupidly reduce the game size like 1/4 of normal Sim City 4's size. That part i really cannot accept.. and they priced the complete edition so much more pricey than the standard (even after sales - Cities of Tomorrow expansion is very important for this game). So will wait till the price drops further before I buy it. For a 1/4 size of a normal sim city game i rather not pay so much!

other city building games all like City Life, City XL Platinum all I don't dare to buy.. read all the horror stories on the forums and reviews, where ppl play the game halfway got kicked out to desktop, game slows down past 50k ppl, etc etc..

Other than that if u don't mind lousy graphics (but i mind).. then Sim City 4 is currently the winner for a realistic city building game. Anno 2070 is not realistic.. a lot of fictional tech.. but believable.. as long as they are beautiful graphics + good gameplay + stable game, i'm happy

u play on Windows 7? got any issues playing there? esp for games like Red Alert 1 ok?

hmm..

bro if u like turn based games, check out Age of Wonders series (2 is best, 3 also good), or Heroes of Might and Magic series (III, V and VI are good).

to me both the above is the best when it comes to turn based fantasy + strategy.

tried Red Alert just now... menu hang on me for quite some time.

Guess the game needs to run on VGA mode:

and also not sure if multi cores can give those old C&C games problems (all latest processors are multi-cores). will try default setting to see if they work normally, else switch to single core at command line.

---

edit: guide doesn't work don't bother. will just bear with it. well at least the game runs shocked to see how polished Red Alert was for it's time.. those cut-scenes, acting.. just perfect. even with pixelated graphic they manage to bring the whole atmosphere of WW2 with it. And the soundtrack too.. just amazing for a game in the 90s.

ok la.. worth it what for so many games.

see "chicken" one time also more than that la.. now that is a waste of money

there is much more to come.. u'll end up becoming greedy and not have enough time to play all of them.. Trust me that is genius Mr. Gaben's masterplan.


okok will get the base game then .. hope i'll end up finishing + love it

yaya i remember this... 1 to 2 days they repeat sales for ALL PREV SALES games for winter period. Damn dahsyat that time!

Age of Empires 3 better than I thought! recommended buy

dont care.. will wait the complete edition drops in price further. Right now i still find Dishonored complete package kinda pricey with all that DLC nonsense, yet being a dated game. I have plenty of Action and RPG games to play anyway not in a hurry.

This post has been edited by Davidtcf: Dec 29 2014, 09:06 PM

get Final Fantasy XIII-2 instead.

Final Fantasy XIII very linear.. i tried to played it.. but fail to catch my attention coz basically the devs got lazy and make u walk in a straight line to your next destination. The most change characters or a side path for some loots. Really cannot accept this as part of FF game.

FF XIII-2 fixes the linearity after all that fans' outrage (got areas to roam, explore - very important after you've played XIII and realize how bad linearity is... might as well just play an iPad game). So yes wait for XIII-2 price to drop further.. right now still kinda pricey. Skip XIII.

Read this as proof:
http://kotaku.com/5979711/lets-rank-the-fi...s-best-to-worst




me personally waiting for this la.. really hope one day will port it to PC.. had many good memories playing it (pirate) on PS2 (too bad it crashed halfway through, couldn't complete the game sigh):

And not regretting it.

sales on certain games seldom come by.. better buy now than later when it's dirt cheap! Or end up waiting for a game to be discounted... Awww... (went through that before)

best on the list so far is Endless Legends (Endless Space is good too played it for 4 hours on first try and satisfy.. but now too busy with EL haha). Already clocked up 28 hours since I started the game.. and a few nights of less sleep till kena wife scold reminds me so much of Civ 5 - just one more turn - when I first played that game last time

the rest that I feel it's are a good buy are: Age of Empires 3, Need for Speed Shift 2 (cheap during voting sales.. using a controller to play is a must), Dynasty Warriors 8 (a bit sucky is need to play windowed mode for more smooth experience). (Payday 2 had yet to try.. will update this post once I downloaded it)

the worst buy? Max Payne 3. Don't even bother. Terrible LONG cutscenes poorly written, 35gb of space, and many many crashes especially when re-attempting a failed mission! (not me alone, many reported crashing issues in MP3). Uninstalled it after playing for an hour. GTA IV (by the same publisher) is a different story.. game seems good so far.. will come back to it when I wanna roam around the city bashing ppl up lol ...
