why are these asia tracks so hard in Grid 2

why

If you're referring to the touge tracks, it's because the AI cars are not beholden to the same laws of physics that you are. They can go flat out through the esses without worrying about mundane details like, I don't know, TIRE GRIP. If you watch them closely, they're clearly driving on rails.

On the flip side, the AI seems incapable of handbrake power slides, so use those to get ahead.

I would buy it

Revengeance is good. The camera is really bad though. And maybe I'm mistaken but there's no official way to dodge?

defensive offensive is the closest you get I guess

The Piece of Shit Wolf Among Us. Coming soon from TellTale.

It's a game in which you play as Bigby Wolf, a Steam user that buys games from Russia.

Finally beat that piece of shit wolf.

You almost made me sad. I thought you were talking about Wolf Among Us... its a great game.. lol

 

[Dr Dogg]

Not true. The following



gets transformed into:



which appears as:

Yeah I've messed up like that with poor hyphen placement. It needs clear space either side of the name and then the key. So I assume ModBot parses that as the last one and everything after is the key.

So

Game - Name - Here - KEY-GOES-HERE

works but

Game - Name - Here KEY-GOES-HERE

might end up a bit funny. And this

Game - Name - Here -KEY-GOES-HERE

has gone wrong for me before. I've made a mistake by not leaving any space between the hyphen and the key and got some errors.

Yeah, the camera is pretty bad. My biggest gripe with the game. You can learn to manage it in most cases, but any time you are close to a wall, especially when Mastiffs are around, the camera is going to screw you over.

As for dodge, BUY DEFENSIVE OFFENSIVE NOW! It's not a traditional directional dodge, in that it only moves you backward for a short distance, but it gives you a brief bit of invincibility. This will save your life.

True. But the point is, it's not good for "evading" attacks in that you don't actually move much. Instead it just makes you invincible so the attack passes through you (and usually scores a hit on whoever was attacking you).

I watched a tutorial that told me to parry but about 10000 tries in I still can't do it.

The rage is flowing through me right now.

Can I only parry his fucking orange charge attack? What about the chainsaw attacks?

Shakes head

It's not hard to figure out that this:


Means that you think that the anonymous giveaway on that page was not done because the person had extras they wanted to give away or out of the kindness of their heart. The implication, given the context of the conversation here, is that the giveaway was done purely to qualify for the "megagiver" and/or "pay it forward" rule.

Stump's response is that the system is working as intended. If no one wants the games, they won't be taken and the person doing the giveaway won't qualify for those rules. If people do want the games, they will be taken and the person doing the giveaway will qualify, as they should since they are giving away things that people want.

I'm not saying it's wrong.... it's even in my quote you quoted. I'm just saying how funny it is that they were coincidentally coming out the woodworks. What can you people not understand? I'm not saying anything about the system. I don't care what they have in their heart when they are doing it.

that's racist

 

[Dr Dogg]

I'm Garbage Dumping all my keys now so not to cause uproar. Of course I'll get called out when someone's favourite game gets thrown in there. Ain't nothing wrong with dumpster diving.

Bought the Landmark: Big Penis Pack, time to check this thing out.

Hahahahaha I know Steam's releases as of late have been a bit... well niche shall we say but what on earth have you gotten yourself in for Joe?

 

[Tellaerin]

Whether it's bundled stuff or standalone games, I usually try to give away stuff that I think people would actually be interested in. As a rule, I don't pick up bundles for myself unless there's stuff in them that I'd want, and if I think it's a good bundle and I have a little extra cash, I'll try to grab a second copy to give away here. (I don't usually end up with a ton of bundle spares, though when I have 'em, I drop 'em here, too.)

Now with that said, somebody take these already. There's gotta be someone out there who hasn't played them yet. VVVVVV's good, Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic looks good (haven't gotten around to playing it yet), and I enjoyed Gun Metal back on the old Xbox (though my soft spot for transforming mecha games may admittedly have colored my judgment). We've probably already reached complete global saturation for Hitman 1, Mini Ninjas and Thief Gold by now, but I thought they looked good enough to at least be worth trying. So yeah, give 'em a home.

(And FWIW, this doesn't affect my megagiver status one way or another. I just haven't had much cash to play with over the past couple of months, I felt like I was overdue to pick up a little something for the thread, and this bundle seemed like a nice one. People need to stop worrying about other peoples' motivations for giving away stuff - it's getting a little embarassing to read.)

Stump should just post the regex he uses to pull titles and keys, then let everyone work it out.

omg rofl!
that was great!

Thanks for all the replies. Watching that vid now.

Wolf Among Us was good. I didn't like the bloody mary fight though. Overall it was more consistent than TWD. The highs of TWD were higher though.

 

[Benedict]

Did you install a 64 bit version of windows?

yes, it's W7 64-bit. Cloned HDD to SSD.

 

[derExperte]

Played 5hrs of the Destiny Beta. Better than I thought it looked in the gameplay videos but if the final game is like that there will be a LOT of repetition. I didn't plan on buying it anyway for PS4 but it'll be very interesting to see what people will think of it after a few months.

Yea, get called out then run away.

Hey, you don't have exclusive rights for that tactic!

yeah those mountain tracks and stuff, i'll try the handbrake thing, i haven't used it other than for the drifting stuff

 

[crazyrabbits]

Be careful about admitting to that around here. Sub Zero says people harassed him because he did that, and that's the reason he left.

Trust me, I'm well aware. I've faced worse people - this is nothing.

You were criticised because you directly contrasted the giveaways with the words "give away games out of being kind" and "shit that just got posted on this page" which makes people less likely to openly post giveaways that aren't 7 copies of Divinity. That was the whole problem.

It was an accusatory statement which was unwarranted. "It's funny that these garbage giveaways come just after a big giveaway with a megagiver rule, all of these selfish people must be giving away games because of this big giveaway, lol"

 

[Anteater]

Aren't all the harassments with sub-zero off site? I'm pretty sure if people are harassing him here in the thread and are being dicks, the mods would do something about it. Just stay here.

Grief? I guess I wasn't around back then, but I find it hard to imagine him doing something ban worthy.

 

[HoosTrax]

The powerslides are useful everywhere, as you're faster through the curves using them vs driving normally.

I wasn't really fond of that dynamic, but I heard it was fixed in GRID Autosport, where taking the correct line through curves is faster than trying to slide through them. I kind of want to buy it, but I kind of don't. For one thing, it's roughly the same price as Assetto Corsa, and they've gone and done it with the whole DLC madness again, including charging for content that basically amounts to cheats. Not really a business model I care to encourage.

Grief? I guess I wasn't around back then, but I find it hard to imagine him doing something ban worthy.

He is a staunch supporter of PC as a gaming platform, sometimes to his detriment as it's gotten him caught up in console wars threads.

I played through it once solo and really enjoyed it. If you like looking for loot it's a good game.

 

[Arthea]

about Civ V problem
I ran it on two different laptops and two different PCs, with two different OSes, and amount of RAM. It haven't crashed for me even once!
I had no slowdown problems that Copons was having either, unless on huge map and with lots of big cities and units.
I know it isn't helping, I just wanted to say, that I can't imagine what one can have against Civ's engine, is not prone to crashing as far as I know and tested, quite contrary I'm amazed how good it runs on any half decent hardware, if some playing with settings is done, like for example removing fog helps, lowering res, regular stuff for less powerful PCs.

There was a bit of antagonizing him in the thread, but it didn't seem too severe from what I saw, and probably not ban worthy. I assumed from what he said that it was happening in PMs, and on Steam and elsewhere, but that it was GAF members who were responsible. Otherwise why would he leave GAF over it?

I've seen it in this thread. Didn't really think that anything warranted mod intervention either way and I do think Sub Zero overreacted, but at the same time it's easy to understand why he would want to take his ball and go home.

I'd seen it a little bit recently, but yeah if it had been happening constantly I can see why he would react the way he did. It's still sad though.

I share your sentiment Milanber. I like good golf games.

I've always imagined a game based on JaseC's life would be basically Pokemon but with Steam games.

Of course Saoirse would have to be included somehow, so maybe your minigame idea would fit into that.
