Support NeoGAF

[Teppic]

I have a question about library sharing. I did log in on another computer and choose "authorize this computer". Is there something else I need to do to share my library? My games didn't show up when they logged in with their account.

I think you have to put a checkmark next to their name when you authorize the computer?

 

[JaseC]

Same issue here.

Guessing it'll work on Monday?

Kinda silly if so because again there is no preload. I doubt demand will be as high as Destiny though.

Uplay doesn't support pre-loading, funnily enough.

It'll be my first time. A stealth run through would be fun I imagine.

I'm in. Not that good at stealth but I can manage the simpler heists

Germany is correct; the

Hi Jasec, is it correct that the wolf tno from the quake bundle grants access to the uncensored version, even in Germany (without vpn etc.)?

You all are in desperate need for some skins. Hitler Witch, Old Spice Charger and Jockey Diddy Kong make the game a blast.

How do you get those? Will they show only for those party members who dl the mods or for everyone?

That's why I did it as a non-free-for-all; to see what the breakdown would be.

Uplay didn't get automatic patching until after Far Cry 3 so I'd give Ubi a few more years to add pre-loading.

Hi Jasec, is it correct that the wolf tno from the quake bundle grants access to the uncensored version, even in Germany (without vpn etc.)?.

Yes. The ROW/Russian QuakeCon subs don't have any regional restrictions. Oddly enough the German sub doesn't have the "German Edition" of the game -- it's absent entirely.

Ii explicitly says DE version on the Quakecon page, so I don't thing so

Ok, makes sense. I see a lot of weapon mods, too. Wouldn't you get banned for using them though? Or are they all cosmetic only?
Thanks to soma I got the liking of l4d2. It's a pretty fast, frentic but real fun game. So glad I got it during sale.

Wow, such an awesome "mistake". You think chances of similar uncensored subs for Germany will come up in the future, too. Once the game gets much cheaper? It's actually very high discounted atm but I can't justify for myself at that price still.
Would be really neat if you could buy your desired sub of a game directly through steamdb and not be restricted to what steam offers on your respective landing store page.

Yeah, unlike Steam, Uplay keys don't work if the game isn't public.

They're cosmetic. Even if they were not why would someone get banned for downloading something from Steam Workshop?

They're cosmetic. Even if they were not why would someone get banned for downloading something from Steam Workshop?

Since they are different weapons, I thought specs like fire rate, mag size or accuracy are different and grant an unfair advantage.
This way they'd be fine to use on SP playthroughs but trigger anti-cheat servers when used in MP.
But from you're post I get the impression that there actually no mutator mods at all on the workshop? Would have been interesting to try mutators.

[Rickenslacker]

Is Destiny actually good? Or is it one of those games that current gen owners will latch onto to justify their purchase?

Its sometimes difficult to separate the truth from post purchase rationalization.

Here's what I had to say about it in the beta thread.

Played through it on PS3 as a Titan, just some scattered thoughts and nitpicks:

Game is a lot better in the technical department than I thought it would be, the game performs more solidly than Halo Reach from what I can tell. The only blemish that really stands out are the incredibly blocky dynamic shadows in interior environments, it's odd that shadows actually look better outdoors and in generally larger scale areas, but I'm sure there's a reason for that that I'm glossing over.

Hairstyles are terrible, at least on the human female side. Apparently before my character died prior to the events of the beta they went to a hair salon, I imagine having distracting supermodel hair covering eyesight was a contributing factor to dying in the first place. It's ridiculous that you can have huge poofy pigtails but an option for a simple ponytail was out of the question.

Beta hasn't done well in dissuading my impressions from the previews of the game being Bungie's take on Borderlands. Better at handling the details for sure, but the basic concepts leave me feeling like the general combat is doomed to being shallow. There's no sandbox to speak of, you're just left to your loadout; enemies haven't really shown me that they're doing much of anything than shifting from side to side and shooting; cranking up the difficulty just felt like a numbers game of more damage towards me less damage towards the enemy. I just didn't really take much out of the encounters other than they were a means to see life bars whittle down, see numbers pop, and get gear to better your numbers.

They nail the presentation of combat though; explosions are satisfying, weapons feel weighty, it's got that Bungie flair that I love -- but I just get to an end of a mission with a large boss enemy and infinitely spawning trash coming in waves, and I'm doing nothing the entire time except taking potshots at him while he just shifts left and right and shoots back. There's just nothing really happening.

And the entirety of the Tower just feels like a waste of time, I feel like I'd just prefer a straight menu over the lengthy loading into an area just to walk around for vendors and seeing ugly player faces.

I can't say that I'm disappointed really, the writing was on the wall from everything leading up to this, but I just wanted to see it for myself. I haven't tried the competitive multiplayer just yet but I'm not sure it'll do much to jazz me either. This isn't a condemnation of the game really, I'm sure it'll be fun to party up with friends and do the whole number grind deal, but I'm just not seeing anything here to make it special like Bungie games usually are to me.

I wasn't really seeing what would be amazing about the game on previews, and after playing the beta, I still don't. Which isn't to say I think it'll be bad or anything, just kind of a letdown from the pedigree of Bungie seeing a lot of the dynamism that I've enjoyed in their combat design from the past decade seems to be thrown by the wayside. I still look forward to getting it sometime down the line, but even with the Borderlands vibe I got out of it, it does do the thing that Borderlands sorely lacked -- visual loot progression, actual armour that shows you visibly improving. It's always nice changing into some new gear and seeing how it'll look.

In the reveal gameplay Bungie showed it almost seemed like ironsights were completely optional. IE you weren't punished for movement while shooting.

Is this the case?

The game encourages ironsight use with a more stable aim, at least that was my case with the game's Battle Rifle equivalent. Hipfire was still completely competent, but it was just a bit more effective to use ADS at all times.

Since there's to be no cross-platform MP, I wonder if the PC version will fare differently. Probably not.

 

[freshVeggie]

What does ADS mean?
Edit: Doh! I don't know why but in my head it was Advanced Defensive Strategy. I didn't sleep long and well.

 

[JaseC]

What does ADS mean?

Aim(ing) down sights.

I'm actually quite excited for this. Played this on my psp, and my psp is currently half-dead. I would like to enjoy this on the PC.

Also if you join their group and vote yes on greenlight and comment, they'll supposedly give it to you for free.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Since there's to be no cross-platform MP, I wonder if the PC version will fare differently. Probably not.

I imagine with a mouse hipfire could end up being just as effective as sights, seemed like you could get a feel for the kickback and compensate à la CS, but on a controller that's just too cumbersome. I still have yet to really try the other weapons so the three shot burst might be making sights seem more preferable than is actually the case.

I dunno man. 14k seems like nothing. I hear it's actually a really popular psp title, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it doing a lot more than that.
