You probably already know this, but downgrading your gfx drivers should stop the crashing.

I don't think Destiny is going to live up to the hype, it's gonna be a Titanfall-esque situation again, hype for 2 weeks then nobody talks about it. Also I might be a little salty still that they didn't bother with a PC version.

Don't worry, crows are yummy.
Same here, although they got smarter and pulverized the storyline across dlc packs.
Quite frankly, by now, 3arc should just purchase the Zombies IP from Activision and turn it into a standalone game - Origins and Mob of the Dead kinda already moved towards the "finite level" model anyway.
I was worried it would be too detailed, since it's my most information-dense piece. And I was worried it wouldn't do well 'cause it was posted on a Friday, yet it's one of my most successful pieces.

Actually didn't know that. Quick search reveals me that I should go back to 337.88 or older. Not sure I want to go back to old drivers at this point.
(Who am I kidding, doing that first thing tomorrow.)

I rolled back to 335.23. I feel icky but at least the game doesn't crash!

I give it a month, seeing as it's multiplat
Yeah I was kind of exaggerating, but I don't think it will have the staying power of a typical loot game or an MMO for that matter.

Yeah, it's crazy. During the CoD sale on steam I saw how almost every DLC had some zombie part in it as well. Really shady. People who only care about zombie have to pay more for stuff they don't even want. Also, holy... you have almost 800hrs clocked at BO2. That all zombie or mixed with classic MP?

All the people raving about Lego Super Marvel Heroes was right. Definitely worth the $4 you can get it at GMG. Goofy, easy brawling.

The QUBE dlc is a pretty odd addition seeing as it's for the regular version of the game and is already included in the director's cut.

It's the best game in the series with the best story, the best writing, the best set pieces, and the realest combat that demands the player not have molasses reactions.

I swear you guys only listen to the negative posts
He said he thought City was already worse than Asylum, an opinion I share. But I still played the crap out of that and will at least complete the story of Oranges, no matter what.
Nooooooooooooooo.
But in all seriousness I think you made the right decision canceling. You didn't seem too hyped about the game or the console last time we chatted. No hurry if there's nothing you wanna play just yet.

I think that if the IQ was better it would actually be a great looking game for the most part. Great character models(especially in the clothing/faces), speculars everywhere, weapons that cast light on the environment, and so on.
I am looking forward to playing it in 4K in a few years

I am still in awe of the free open world city filled with a sea of zombies. If only the performance would be generally better.

Finished Far Cry Blood Dragon. Very short game but also very funny (and good)
Classic mp, as much as I am ashamed to admit Treyarch streamlined and optimized map visuals and geometry to the point where it becomes absurdly addictive (eg excellent contrast between textures and logical placement of chokeholds/flanking routes), what with the entire "prestige" reward system retooled to encourage continuous and variegated game play and tactics. Long story short, Vonderhaar and friends did their homework damn well.
I have fewer hours in Tranzit mode due to lack of good teammates, so if you want to play a game or two feel free to add me ☺
Nah. I downgraded and it still crashed every 5-10mins. Fixes it for some people but not others. :/

Just browsing through some Giant Bomb quick looks and man Lovely Planet looks intense D:
Boring? No, certainly not. Story is amazing after it took some speed and characters are amazing. Alfred is constantly snarkung in your ear, assassins lure you into their traps in the open world and the villain interactions are cool.
However, there are some things that got worse from City to Origins. Combat is a lot slower due Batman wearing a heavier suit, it really feels like he is reacting slowly to the inputs if you're used to the slick controls of City. The city is bigger, in fact unessesary bigger. Arkham City was great because you stumbled every second about something new. Origins feels a bit empty and unnaturally inflated. Plus: its not quite clear what you can hook sometimes. So swinging around is constantly interupted by random ledges you can't pull yourself to despite them looking like other ledges.
Its a fun game but its unnessary janky at some points.

I was going to pm Mr Orange toward the end of the month. If nobody else is writing about it ill put something together
Not because of the setting?
I'm surprised most people haven't gotten tired from Modern Time games yet.
That era has now been milked more than WW2 was back in the days...
I didn't even bother with buying BF4, COD MW3, or COD Ghosts since it's all the same again.
Would be nice if WW2 made a comeback! Imagine Omaha Beach on a modern engine like Frostbite. :3
But I'm also happy with Future Time games so the upcoming COD has picked my interest.

Back from a 1 week vacation.
Besides more awful VNs to be released on Steam, what else did I miss?

Oh yes it is. First the annoying/boring fight againts
Deathstroke
And now I didn't make it to
Anarky's bomb in time
Seems to be working for some and still crashing for others which sucks. I didn't have the screen flickering problem on the menu that you did, but I definitely had crashes
. Haven't tried the game again since launch day, gonna give it a go later tonight though.someguyinahat

The Sims 4? But I guess that's not Steam. Um....Dead Rising 3 is out and a lot of people are having performance issues?
It's not a game for everyone. That I can understand.
But personally I thoroughly enjoyed it:
Masterpiece for me.
Some remarks:
- Yes, there is not a lot to do in the open world. Still, if you like the setting, you can just enjoy driving around and enjoying the scenery.
It's what I did and you even get an achievement after a certain large amount of driving. Though looking at the Steam percentage of people who've got it, I was in the minority doing this...
- I think the plot was good. Though it's true that the "grand scheme of things" only gets revealed towards the end of the game. But damn, did I like it.
So it's worth it to complete the game!
- You notice Rockstar's touch. Details. Details everywhere.
- It can get tedious: in the sense that it's hard to complete the game without diverting your attention to another game mid-completion.
Normally I try to complete games one after the other. Most of the time this works, but for this game I really had a moment where I had to take a break.
So in a sense the interrogating stuff can get tedious but just take a break with another game to avoid "saturation" - and you'll notice it's well worth it to finish the story line!
