Basically you won't be able to play it after that date. I'm not sure how it's handled on PS4 but it seems that this particular flag is now being rolled in. It's not yet up in every region.

You might at least want to see how this pans out.

Some are speculating it's because that's the date his PS+ membership runs out which was needed to get P.T. in Germany because age restrictions.

I could turn mine on and take a look.

Nah.

Guilty Gear Xrd's demo did the same thing, after a certain date you could open the demo but it would just tell you HEY GO BUY THE GAME THIS DOESNT WORK ANYMORE

There's a lot of driving from A to B while the other characters talked, gunplay isn't enjoyable to me. I do like missions involving aircraft, love piloting a helicopter.

I played with Aiming Assitance, so just locking on guys was a ton of fun along with the Slo-mo and frenzy abilities. Guess it never changes too much from previous GTA games, funny enough Heli and Plane missions I hated the most.

Is it me or lately groupees bundles have been beyond bad, seems like it. Less bonuses too? Or am I imagining things?

I sometimes wonder if Ubisoft have completely lost control. Every year they increase scope, introduce more stuff, and the games get longer and lose even more focus. I haven't played Rogue yet, but smaller tighter experiences might be the way to go from now. Of course Victory will probably be 100+ hours long, contain 27 different types of collectables, have 64 different characters all that pop up once and disappear, require you to plug your phone into your tablet through your TV to access part of the game and contain an even more baffling menu system.

I totally can see it happening.
I wish companion apps never happened too, so what do I know

even if the story is essentially you playing as a revolutionary-time forrest gump, the setting was interesting and the missions weren't just oscilation from BE STEALTHY to BE TAILING. Plus, even though Connor was boring as all fuck the story surrounding him was engaging, the setting was terrific, and Haytham more than makes up for the Connor's boring snoring ways.

Like, Connor is actually on a revenge mission and he's all about assassinating those punks who wronged him and his. Like, you know, what you would want from a game or series about assassins.

I think I wrote pretty much the same in the 52 game thread

After reading various reviews and opinions that this was the bad one I wasn't expecting much, but in the end I really enjoyed it. A really interesting story with great characters and many ancillary things to do. I really liked the twist at the end of sequence 3 or so, never saw it coming! I also enjoyed putting together the village, really great story telling. The fast travel system is complete junk and never seemed to work properly and Conner suffers a little from Forrest Gump syndrome, always in the background at important events. That can be forgiven I suppose, he needs to be the star of the show. It did strain credulity though at times.
Click to expand...

It still suffers from all the same issues that have be present since probably AC1. Try to run past a box and the parkour mechanic thinks you want to stop chasing someone and run up and down a random box. What really was the point of the whole wilderness area? Introduce an extensive trading and crafting system, only sell beaver and bear pelts. Fast travel, haha nope.

Lots of small crappy bundles full of stuff that has been bundled many times before. Also it seems like it's been a while since a Be Mine one, usually the best ones. Sales seem to have dropped off as well, less than 4k most of the time.

Maybe they are struggling to attract better games? Bundlestars routinely knocks it out of the park and must be selling bucketloads and Killer and Indie Legend ones, Indiegala sells more (2-3 times) and of course Humble.

Seeing the GTAIV screens someone (sorry, can't remember who) posted in the last couple of days got me to try it myself.

I've already downloaded iCEnhancer 3.0 and all the textures available on its site.
There's something else I should totally get while I'm waiting for the game to download?

I also learned from a friend that my wish to trade Arkham Knight fro GTAV from a cheap Steam region will never happen.
Even the cheapest GTAV goes for about double the price Arkham Knight goes.

on the one hand, pulling something completely off the network, even for those who already had downloaded it on their accounts, is pretty foul.

on the other hand, it makes zero business sense to keep paying for downloads of a demo for a game that is never coming out. It no longer can be seen as a promotional piece of software because it's promoting something that is nonexistent. You've already wasted money developing and putting out the demo, might as well cut your losses by not allowing for the thing to exist anymore.

So i dunno, i can see it from both sides really.

My keyboard has been acting up. Is my only option for an affordable, compact Tenkey the Quickfire TK? I mean, because it goes on sale often. I'm using a Quickfire Rapid right now, which I know is slightly better because Costar makes it.

again, the cost of each download isn't worth it to them. when you download something from PSN, publishers pay for each download. It isn't free for them, and i'm assuming that redownloads probably have a cost to them, too.

I'm not saying it's right, i'm saying that i can see how keeping it up on a server makes zero business sense given that the game is dead. It also sets a precedent i can't get behind, not allowing you access to something you've downloaded in the past.

Konami just needs to sell off its gaming division, or at least sell any IP that isn't Metal Gear since that's all they're producing anymore really.

Well for some reason Xbox Uno isn't getting a Far Cry 4 complete version despite their being a PC version which almost certainly be Uplay. Does that mean Uplay has a bigger install base than Xb... Nah that can't be right.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1041700

First they came for the Vita but I didn't speak out because I didn't own a Vita.

Then they came for the WiiU but I didn't speak out because I didn't own a WiiU

Then they came for the Xbone but I didn't speak out because I didn't own an Xbone...

Question is who's next?

Assassin's Creed needs to slow the fuck down so I can beat Black Flag, Liberation, China, Rogue, and Unity (and the stupid 3 DLC) and not keep adding to my damn backlog. I was doing good until Black Flag when my completion rate fell off a cliff.

And AC3 fucking sucks, btw.

I still have Liberation, Freedom Cry, Rogue and Unity to start. It is very hard to keep up with them all.

I was actually thinking instead of selling it in BST, I am going to try trade it for another game on Steamtrades.

Again sorry for getting your hopes up.

By the way if you bought Invisible Inc. during early access it's going to unlock 5 days earlier on the 7th. Probably 26 hours away or so. People who didn't still have to wait till the 12th to play/buy.

Click to expand...

If you are fine with Cherry stabilizers the TK or the Rapid-i both seem to be solid options at that price, however for both you can find comments about them randomly disconnecting from time to time.
For a similar price but with Costar stabs there is the Ozone Strike Battle. Low profile, floating Keys and aluminum surface. Could potentially be a nice TKL but I haven't tried that one myself yet and so far there are only few reviews covering it. I know people like to shit on Corsair, don't know if deserved or not, but a friend of mine has been using the K65 non-RGB for a while now and actually likes it. The downside with that one however is the non standard bottom row, which sucks for replacing keycaps (already hard enough for ISO layout) and its also not backlit, if that is something you require. Other TKLs like the ones from Filco, KUL, Das, Ducky, ... are (way) more expensive, but maybe worth it.

That said I'm also still looking for my perfect TKL :/ Some day that quest will come to an end ... hopefully.

I'm really glad that I joined Gaf. This thread has become my home basically on Gaf. Got to know many good people and learned a lot here. So I enjoyed and still enjoy my time here.

I've won so many great games and gave way too less back. Hope this will result in some good karma, even if only little.

Good luck and have fun folks. You are good people.
