Problem with making games is when you make a masterpiece, you already know everything about it and how it works under the hood. You don't get that "oh shit this game is amazing I wonder what happens next" feel.

Nah, I prefer to think of it as working smart instead of hard.
exactly! somebody who finally gets it!
me too, of other kind tho
you know... something makes me think that cheating has very little to do with being smart, if even some people tend believe so, they usually see very little sunlight too.
DPfix barely makes any difference. Sure I can run it at higher resolutions but it doesn't stop the framerate from being 10fps, nor does it prevent all the crashes. I'd be ecstatic if I could get a locked 720p 30fps, I really would.

So this is the situation about FOB at the moment. Konami doesn't give a fuck, and this is only FOB. They NEED to implement VAC on FOB AND MGO, otherwise that game is already dead.

So hold up aside from the mega cheap price, how is BlOps 1's SP campaign mode?
I stand corrected

He's talking about Deadly Premonition.
Not Dark Souls.
Durante couldn't save DP.
Among other issues, DP has a memory leak, so it gets more unstable as you play. Apparently the optimal way to get through the PC version is to restart your PC every couple hours.
Never tried it myself, since after about 20 minutes the game just stopped launching for me.
Only CoD I own on PC is Modern Warfare 2. Honestly it's my favorite of the series (played through the campaign three times, once on Veteran. Spent the most time spent on MP to boot).
Shame the Multiplayer is a mess. It has servers, but most of them are filled with hacks so anything goes. Last game I entered I got a message saying "You're welcome" and suddenly I was max-level with all of the awards.
Gee thanks.

I keep being tempted to buy all the old CoD games today, but then look that they're fucking $10 on a sale despite coming out when or before I bought a PS3 during it's launch week, and I go back to saying NOPE.
Deadly Premonition with DPfix went down to 15FPS upon starting for no reason and inconsistently on my GTX 980M, i7-4980HQ CPU. Something is definitely not right with that game, fixes or not applied.

Yup. As i mentioned in the other thread, if MGO doesn't get VAC then I'm going to regret buying on Steam. FOB already is a massive turn off.

First time the Batman of the Future DLC for Lego Batman 3 has gotten a decent sale, so I'll have to pick that up. I still don't understand why it's the only piece of paid DLC not included in the season pass.
I played through the campaign last night and liked it a lot. Story is interesting although short. Out of the CoDs I've played (MW1, MW2, BO1), BO1's campaign is probably my favorite so far.

Can't say I've had many issues after the fix, although I never played it more than a couple hours each time. The PS3 port crashed more and had worse framerate for me.

So I'm getting a pop-up notification in client about adding my phone number as an added bit of security. I guess we're one step away from Battle.net authenticators for Steam.

Heard BernardoOne was already cast for the lead.
I wish it did that for me, I rarely play any game for longer sessions then an hour at a time so i could live with that. The framerate and slowdown is so bad makes me feel sick from the start even after a PC restart. And I'm someone who thinks 30fps is fine and playable normally.
oh so its gonna be shit, like Flash / Arrow
electroflame pointed this out to me a while back, supposed to patch the memory leak so you can actually play DP. Haven't tried it myself, but maybe someday.

this is pretty easy to do. stop shaving. wear plaid (pro-tip: you are probably already wearing plaid). and assemble your own ikea furniture instead of paying them to do it for you
This doesn't seem to work ever since 1.07 update. There's a thread on CDPR forums with fixes for Inputmapper, but nothing for DS4Windows.
I know of a easier way:

Is that another space Terraria?
Final Fantasy XIII is only unoptimized for 60 FPS. It runs at a locked 30 much better than the consoles could.

I never played it, but that's how it always looked to me. I believe it even has some crossover content from Terraria.

Big shame. In the new trailer they repeatedly said "available for everyone on October 6th".
Remember this when it was a mobile-ks-darling. Last I heard, honeymoon ended with some harsh bitchslapping there.
Love the pixel-art. Can't wait for it to hit a 1$ bundle.
Pretty low price for it. Ought to be a sweet deal for aspiring indie devs.
I just have too less knowledge to jump in on this. Would probably go Unity anyway once I felt like dabbling into game-deving.
That was easily the best series finale I've ever seen.
It was like slowing down to have a good look at the car accident in next lane, except instead of a car accident it's a trainwreck but involving a train somehow crashing onto a cruising airplane while the train driver was taking down helicopters with his rocket launcher while riding an Harley-Davidson on top of the train engine.
About GameMaker: of all the major sort-of-WYSIWYG game editors, it's the one I never felt confident enough to do anything at all.
Mapping is an unbelievable chore (at least it was in - IIRC - GM8 free) and the event editor isn't really straightforward.
It's a real pity though, as GM Pro alone costs 150$ and I don't know how much the Android export tool costs on top of that.
But I'd have loved to throw my hard earned cash toward a Construct 2 or even Stencyl, to some extent, bundle.
In case it didn't get posted - Uplay is a little less shitty with a recent update:
No longer get thrown into the full client every time you open a Steam game
- oh what a joy
No longer get thrown into the full client every time you open a Steam game
but it is actually still open in the background, has the shitty overlay, lack of Steam features, and even pops up when you finish the game - BUT this time it will take you to the game relevant page
What is the issue with Steam version? I thought you could use it without booting Steam.
I guess it's a matter of getting updates way later than standalone users (at least, with Construct it's like this).

I don't know what I'm doing differently, but everything is fine on my end. I'm on the latest version through GOG and I have no problems with macros.
edit: I think people ran into issues because 1.07 introduced proper DS4 support, and that interfered with their macros.

you can't, actually. it's also always behind in updates and it has that really annoying launcher thing that says MAKE / PLAY. like who opens gamemaker to like find games. it's just a very annoying extra click u have to make
it's really bad, yoyo has steam-like sales in their site all the time, unless you're saoirse there's no reason to buy it on steam ever
also if you're into making games and crap it's a really nice tool even if you're an experienced programmer, tho prolly you'll hate how fast and loose it is with its javascript-esque code
i really like it, had to move to haxe cos i couldn't afford like 500 usd just to be able to port my games to other platforms, but i'd def stick with it if it wasn't for that
it's still very useful for fast prototyping
i am trying to get the new free game on origin , but everytime i open the client it require me to download 91mb update , and its very slow ( 76 kbps )
and finally after i log in , it tell me i am on offline mode and to go to online mode i need to restart
and it keep repeat and i am still on offline mode

MGSV's release has radicalized GAF.
There's a good chance they will take a look at it down the road, giving them ultimatums at 2 weeks post launch is absurd. Especially when they have launched 5 versions simultaneously.
Wait...I'm sorry

Yeah really dumb for MGSV to have leaderboards and no form of cheating control.

It's not radical to expect some sort of anti-cheat initiative, especially when the FOB has been built up as a key component of the game.
Leafhopper

Sounds like every game with leaderboards or time trail times.
They may have anti cheat stuff for the actual multiplayer stuff but never for the leaderboards.
Well maybe not every, but that's the way it's been from my experience.
Freedom = $1.05
Banned
it's in their interests, too, since they're trying to sell FOB microtransactions to the user. So this mess of trying to save money on an anti-cheat system is actually costing them more in the end because no one is going to buy into a broken system.
I agree completely, anti-cheat should be implemented as soon as possible and should be a requirement for MGO.
I was referring to the phrasing of the response, and others I have witnessed.

Dat demand, PC knows Treyarch best CoD dev
More curious is why is Blops 1 more expensive than MW3, Blops 2 and Ghosts? XD
