10,000 YEARS WASN'T ENOUGH LURKING
Whenever someone bitches in the games BF4 thread I'm reminded how much better the experience is with a squad of bros.

What overpowered attack boat? Focus fire that bitch.

I guess that would require goons to not be antisocial weirdos though :(

GROSS SHIT

Except for the new GBS I think Let's Play is the busiest forum on SA. I don't get it really, I've watched some a few of the ~Best LPers~ and it's really awkward sounding weirdos making weird jokes about games. I guess if you absolutely want to know every little secret in Metal Gear Solid but are too stupid to just play the drat game they're cool? Bonus of hearing a grown man talk about his dad telling him to lay off the games and him responding that it's work.

Vas was talking about this the other day and made a similar point. BF4 is a social game and you need to play it with friends. Playing it by yourself is stupid and frustrating, and playing with random goons isn't much better because they are goons and keep sperging out over poo poo. If you don't have a group of friends to play BF4 with you aren't going to have very much fun.

I dunno sometimes I catch myself making fun of the goons who whine about $60 Steam games only going on sale for $14 and not $12 but I forget they're probably like 14 years old.

Since the first couple of days, I actually don't bother playing unless GIP or some other friends are on.

Its extremely weird that people derive pleasure form watching other people play video games on streams or youtube videos. Its even weirder that people 'donate' money to them. Can someone explain this? I know there has to be someone in here that enjoys "Lets Play!".

I always look for LPs before I buy a game, but that applies more to obscure/older strategy sperg stuff, not the game-of-the-week Total War and FPS stuff that you guys seem to always buy on release.

LPs are interesting when they create a narrative in addition to whatever the narrative of the game might be. The LP subforum has a few of these- Dominions 3 Multiplayer LPs are full of diplomacy- and it's a complicated game, so you learn from watching others.
The current LP for Dominions 4 is rather boring because it's just one guy describing what multiple people did each turn. It's way more interesting when each individual is chiming in.

cKnoor does weekly LP..cast(?) sessions of Blood Bowl and has a regular cast of people who Skype-in and comment. So it's more like morning radio than an LP at times. Not for everyone, but it's not just "watch me play this game you own".

Yeah, I should have prefaced that I guess. I've waited a long time until this game went on sale, because I hardly even game on the Xbox, but holy poo poo driving the test track owns (the standard driver p much looks like the stig to lol)

e: By on sale, I mean on discount. I ain't paying 50 bucks to drive through Gambon.



(I will pay 15 though :shobon:)

Start weening yourself off of the driver assists as soon as possible. Things like traction control, stability control, and auto breaking will slow you down.

I need to bust that game out again when I have some free time.

Again, just the first bit about the Aston is giving me a raging petrolhead boner.

700 loving horsepower. Driver actually backing off after hitting 220 mph. Puts my dinky 160 hp Dart to shame. I've gotten her up to 104 mph, still trying to find a time when certain stretches I84 are dead to try and hit the 131 mph limit where the governor kicks in.

God I love driving.

Get yourself a 360 with F4. You'll love the poo poo out of it. Unlike the Gran Turismo series where everything is all super Japanese and clinical, F4 is all about how loving awesome cars are.

Up until last year, 840 in Nashville was cutoff essentially (due to a huge chunk of the inbetween not being finished) and I hit 105 in my Subaru for shitsingiggles. I usually drive 4 over the speed limit.

e: But my favorite driving is 15mph in circles in the snow :3:
