All other videos have every step except the uninstall reinstall steam. This always seems to be the thing that fixes major problems like this

[flatsurface]

The problem still persist
The thing is The game will download for a few seconds then it will stop downloading which result to disk write error
There is no problem on the verifying part

Everything else couldn't work since it was all the same but this finally made it work!

My issue is still going but when i switched it to my other drive it was able to download fine, im thinking that the drive that i have might just be bad after years of use, best solution is to get another drive and hope lol
