I still hold that the "You wouldn't care if Kojima wasn't involved" argument is an incredibly stupid position. Like no shit the weirdo auteur is the whole draw here!

Without him helming this batshit crazy game, it wouldn't be in the batshit crazy state it's in.

Therefore, nobody would be watching it. What I try to say is that people should calm down with the hype lol

I’m sorry. As I said i’m still very upset with the Yakuza stuff

Same is true when Sony-fans praise Druckmann. "Oh Last of Us has such a shocking ending!" Yeah? Remember that time a decade ago Taro turned a musou game into a music one for the last 10 minutes? :unsure:

TLOU praise is weird. It is the most okayest game ever done.
Maybe I’m just getting bitter. The whole Dreamcast remembrance made me very sad. Talent doesnt always win, and people are swayed by pretty production values than fresh ideas.

No doubt your mind in the few scant seconds you observed him delved you into a subconscious reality akin to observing Blue Velvet in 5d until he left your peripheral vision @3@

Nier Automata which I still havent finished btw, elevates the medium more than every single Sony first party exclusive.

Tlou is like, zombies bad but whispers humans are worse. Deep huh?

Oh, Yokai Watch 4 confirmed for PS4, would be nice if for the Western release they added a PC version too, right? I'm curious about the IP but not that interested to buy it on consoles. if they release it on PC I will play it.

So Monster Hunter World is on sale, but I cant see when the sale ends?
I'm on holiday till the 18th and cant see the point in buying it before I get home

My mind can not begin to fathom such an opinion.
It's 700$ for a phone. :fearful-face:
The only singular items i ever bought that were this expensive were cars, motorcycles and mopeds.
My last smart phone is a Galaxy A5 for 250$.
700$ is so much money :sweaty-blob:

You spent less than 700$ on your PC?

Not as a Sony exclusive, so they have a point. Sony exclusive are separate from the rest of the medium, more deserving of attention, after all, Sony paid for them. That alone makes them pieces of art. Being a halfway decent game is just icing on the cake.
(I'm not actually serious, I kinda like most of their exclusive stuff, but have never gotten the insane hype around them)

I did. I spent slightly less than 500€ for my PC (excluding the screen, the speakers, and a RAM upgrade done a few years later). I already had a Windows license, which I got for free thanks to university.

All included, I think the bill should amount to 750€, but the good thing about the screen and the speakers is that they are re-usable, so one does not need to hand the money over at the same time as the purchase of the PC.

That's cheap!
What GPU you got? Tends to be the biggest price point

It won't make you dream at night: AMD Radeon HD 7770 with 1GB VRAM. The purchase was in 2013, but it is still fine for my gaming habits.

With the release of Stadia's free plan next year, I might not need to upgrade at all.
The only demanding game which might interest me is Cyberpunk 2077 and it will be available on Stadia.

That being said, if I wanted to purchase a new PC now (AMD Ryzen 5 2600 + 16 GB DDR4 RAM + GeForce GTX 1660 with 6 GB VRAM), I believe that I would need to spend about 900€, so about twice the price which I paid in 2013. I don't know what happened, but PC gaming was cheaper back then.

Yeah, for sure, prices increased quite a lot since 2012. I spend around 950€ for my PC in 2012, and spend around 400 something on a GTX 970 in 2015. Eyeing a totally new PC and the most sensible upgrade (compared to my current one) seems like 1500€ easily, and closer to 2000€ for something that would probably give more head room over the next gen. :pensive-face:

Nah, they didn't re-up their Steam page yet despite all the signs pointing at the game being lost and forgotten on EGS.

In other news, from now on, I'm a proud owner of the masterpiece that is The Quiet Man! I don't even know how to congratulate myself.

I challenge you with my laptop's 6850M, still plays most of the games with official 2gb minimal specs.

Played and finished AREA 4643 .


Fun little top down shooter. Game play is just normal twin stick shooter with a melee attack and bomb/super arts ability. Has bullet hell type spray patterns that aren't too crazy but can be unfair in some the tight corridors they put you in. Luckily it isn't a one hit kill type of game and there are plenty of health on nearby crates. I liked the game sounds but the music isn't anything special. Controls are responsive. Story is nonsensical but it seems to be based on a property called "Ninja Slayer" which I'm unfamiliar with so maybe that's why everything is weird in it. Writing included.

Really like the style of the game. Has five stages and I was able to beat it in an hour. Short game but enjoyable. Cool game to get on sale.

Time for sleep, I had a good day off. The new R6 Season is really good, I like the new map rework and both new operators are cool.

Bittersweet thought.

FFVIIR looks great no doubt about it. I'm happy for FFVII fans, and it's not my favorite but I'm super excited too.

... however it kinda hurts to know that FFVI will never get the same treatment? Like imagine the Opera segment with modern tech and the FFVI OST recorded by an Orchestra like FFXV's?

I did with my first PC, but even for newer ones I still ultimately think of it as one initial purchase, plus later upgrades
(btw, is it just me or is the "bold" button on Meta broken? If I try to make a selection in a quoted text bold, it also makes my entire post beneath the quote bold)

Hmm, Top 3 annoying internet things :
  • EU might have good intentions, but the handling of consent giving on every site is a godawful mess
  • Browser repositioning to a certain post when refreshing, happens on multiple forums, kill it with fire, naow
  • Youtube defaulting to the lowest res on ipad and blocking 1080p, and if your fingers are not thin as a stylus, good luck not fast forwarding to the end of the video
  • Bold format in Meta

I lied, it's a Top 4 :cold-sweat:

My 3.5G brethren, how do you find our VGA perform these days?


PS: this site and that other site is really laggy on mobile.
 
It's kind of laggy in Firefox Desktop as well but i assumed that was something to do with our Network Team doing "stuff".

It seems it's still an early version of the game, full development has not yet been confirmed. The beta feedback will give them an indication if it has a chance to succeed.

In Resident Evil spin-off Project Resistance you can play as Mr. X

After the breakthrough global success of Monster Hunter World, the tasteful handling of Mega Man's return and the cours…

Come on people, early information or videos about a game doesn't mean it will reflect exactly like the final product. It can also be applied to yakuza 7 as well. So much negativity in the comments...

I'm playing Gears 4 on a GTX 970 right now, and it's super smooth. Gears 1 UE ultimate before it was running great too. And Spyro on mostly Ultra settings (I think?) really great too.
of course, I'm not playing any truly recent (2018 or newer) AAA games on it, and I'm still on 1080p. Plan to upgrade to WQHD for my next PC, and I'm sure I'll get a GPU with at least 8GB, that ought to be future proof enough (for that resolution, anyway)

The combat reeeeally seems to drag down a lot. I hope this one is shorter because jeez.

Idk this looks faster than usual Yakuza random encounters to me but maybe I just suck at them.

I played Control on 1080p with 900p render on all low and can get barely 60fps. Greedfall is quite good on 1080p, 60fps with a mix of medium and high setting. It has shown it's age but I think it can hold for another year.
