Thread for Gamers VIII: Revenge of the Sh**

I both despise how lucky you are and pity you for not having the time.

I know, it sounds like I'm a complete ass! It's the ultimate first world problem, I can't play this free version of a game because I have too many other games.

If I was invited to a technical test, I know what I'd do.

Then again, it's a modern Ubisoft sandbox, so maybe I'd have to weigh it up to.
Is it free? Expensed, at least?

Bought BF1 this morning and left my Xbox to install it, going to check it soon and hopefully it will be finished, ive had a string of quick downloads of late with the Xbox so heres hoping it continues.

Mandatory stealth sections in early FPS games are bullshit because there are no stealth mechanics.
Here's what I think of your crappy mandatory stealth section, Red Faction.

Also, facial animation from 2001, gahhhhhhhh

Nice of Ubisoft to invite me to their Technical Test of Ghost Recon Wildlands, but damnit why did it have to be this weekend??! I'm already planning to play BF1 on my main PC and Civ6 on my laptop at the same flippin time.

Good lord, mate.

How do you get the invitation?

What's the different between technical test and regular gaming test?

Well it's not the ultimate first world problem considering I've seen a girl break down crying because she was unable to have a Pumpkin Spice Latte or whatever kind of latte.

Oh yes, first world problem indeed.

[Imperializt Russia]

I have no idea, but it sounds like it involves playing an in-development game very early, possibly at an event. Though technical test is probably a kind of alpha/beta that would be done by the players at home which would be less fun.

Why did they think they were good idea?

You know what's worse.

Stealth in an RTS.

I'm experiencing other graphical glitches, other screenshots on Steam Community look much more how I remember them back on the PS2, so it might not be representative of game quality.
For example, all screens (including rocket launcher thermal sight and even mirrors) have vertical scan lines completely obscuring the actual image.

Except when it supposed to be. For example, the "Espionage" mini missions in Rise of Nations Thrones and Patriots Cold War campaign.

Planning on buying BF1 today but just to anyone whose played it already, does it live up to the hype?

Nothing ever does.

That's it? Where have you been for the last ten years of AAA releases?

I mean, everything has been over hyped to different extents, that's just the first one that came to mind.

Well it was done when i got home and i was in Uni from half nine to three. Finished at some point in there

Ive played the Prologue and two of the five campaigns so far, the Tank Story and the Pilot story. I enjoyed both of them, especially the tank one (granted i have a bias to tanks because they are awesome) Not tried the MP yet as the servers were down when i started it up, ill probably check later.

Im enjoying it a lot so far, though ive not played much and so far only single player (which is thankfully decent)

I tend to not buy into hype any more, well... try not to anyway. And thankfully i did not this time, i know some people will make it out to be the greatest thing ever then end up disappointed.

Exactly.

Avoid hype, you see something you like you go "Yes, i shall have that in the future hopefully" not "OMG THE GLORY" as soon as you see the first trailer.

I saw people going "Battlefield one is amazing" like three months ago, the damn beta was not even out yet.

[Zoboyizakoplayoklot]

I know a guy that got super hyped about the Pokemon Sun and Moon demo, and when it came out he was super disappointed by the fact that it was, well, a demo.
