We really need a stylish documentary on this game. Because look at that! One of the premiere fantasy writers, a wildly innovative character designer, and a lead designer from a universally lauded same-genre game... yet the game still gets associated with the word "FAILURE" the most?The hit RPG returns! From the minds of the bestselling author R.A. Salvatore, Spawn creator Todd McFarlane, and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion lead designer Ken Rolston, comes Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning.
I've got my 1080 gtx laptop out for repairs (sadface) so I'm running on my old-ass 860m backup (2014 release).What are the system reqs for CK3? Im might be able to install it at my university tommorrow, but if my laptop can't run it I won't bother.
How big (gb) is it?I've got my 1080 gtx laptop out for repairs (sadface) so I'm running on my old-ass 860m backup (2014 release).
I thought it would be a slideshow on Low settings but turns out it runs just fine on High (30+ fps with just a hint of panning lag).
In the end I've bought it and started the tutorial, I really like how polished it looks in comparison with CK2.CK3 is blowing my gd mind.
Easily the best PDX launch to date.
Looking forward to another 8 years of having it perma-installed on whatever hardware I'm rocking.
Yes, they opened a site to be notified when it will be up for preorder.
E: But you need to give your PSN ID, so they can choose, which of their "hardcore fans" will be allowed to preorder it.
Maybe, maybe not depends how they handle it.Am I the only one to think that is an idiotic strategy if you are supply constrained?
Depending on your hard-core fans may be a nice touch for giving loyalty rewards but it makes mainstream buyers feel like second class and has a bad taste of elitism. It is also stupid in a business sense. While your most loyal fans would wait for months to buy your new console, a mainstream gamer might just give up on it for a year or abandon it completely, especially when they think they are customer second class. So when a mainstream customer couldn't buy a console on launch, they normally would think it was bad luck or they weren't fast enough, they could still be a customer who wants to buy the product when it is available. But when they think they only failed because they are not important enough, they will become a non-customer very fast. (Even if the pre-order is only through Sony's website and normal retail also sells a few consoles, they will still think it is because they are customer 2nd class)
That's why companies don't give (massive) goodies to loyal customers, they do it for customers who either cancel the product/subscription, were a customer several years ago, or were never a customer.
Or you don't buy anything (not like there is a pandemic and recession going on). or a switch, or a PC. Or you just continue to play your GaaS on your old systemMaybe, maybe not depends how they handle it.
But the thing is that with games your options are limited, You either buy a PS5 or XSX.
Don't worry all the hardware will go to influencers, not hard-core fans nor loyalists. They know the hardcore Sony fanboy who bought 10,000 PSN games last year is already a mindless slave of their corporation, so they can treat them like dirt.Am I the only one to think that is an idiotic strategy if you are supply constrained?

It certainly doesn't mention that, so my guess is you still need to do it via the external tool. I know doing this helped a good deal with being able to get the game running at 120fps for me with Special-K.No 64-bit still? Did they even patch the executable with LAA or do you still need to use an external tool?
This is bonkers. Gameplay trailer with main theme playing on the background.The Sakura Wars franchise is finally expanding to more platforms!
I think you're selling yourself short. The Li Kao I know is a fiery and passionate person. I understand that the world might not get to see that version very often due to the battle with anxiety but he's in there.I really appreciate everybody's input here, but at the same time this is not the place for 'Li Kao's wild ideas to make a living'. Some parts of it could surely go to the mental health tread, some in a thread of their own I guess, but here it's pretty OT.
Just know, for those that don't already, that I am...
For now and barring any miracle idea or opportunity... I don't want to disrespect anyone so take it for what it is, just a manner of speaking : I'm the most lucid lamb on its way to the butcher. I can savor every miserable minute of it, with the full understanding that things are gonna get worse.
- 40 years old
- have no high degrees and only 'theoretical' education
- suffer from severe social anxiety, which pretty much destroyed my life until now
Now carry on, sorry for this derail (it was interesting though ! )
I was in your shoes not long ago and the not knowing is the worst part.Got to go to the vet for an emergency with my cat and spent all the fucking morning trying to reach a handful of vets who wouldn't even bother replying to a text or taking a fucking call. Managed to find one and I'm on my way there. Life fucking sucks.
(I know this is the Steam thread but I needed to vent, sorry)
Audition?You have to audition to be allowed to give Sony money?
Now I have seen everything.
Oh you like Serious Sam?Okay, who put Avengers Queen up to asking me, a big fan of Serious Sam, whether I'm making the OT?
Technically if you ever find yourself doing something Randy Pitchfork would do, you should immediately do the opposite of whatever you've been doing.
You can register to be notified for pre order, but they will choose people based on "activity and time spend on playstation systems".Audition?
To be fair I'm going to assume it's so that "real fans" get one on release date and not scalpers or something, since you typically hear that a lot about how companies don't care about the fan base and stuff like that.You can register to be notified for pre order, but they will choose people based on "activity and time spend on playstation systems".
In other words: You may only pre order a PS5 through Sony if you are loyal, have PS+ and buy a lot of games.
So, Croteam caved to their Discord server users? ..Never cave to Randy Pitchford, real or spam
Just like Wasteland 3, it's a fair and natural increase judging by the previous games.
$60 for Baldur's Gate 3 EA and no third-party keys. Pretty bad.
I wouldn't count on that. This is D:OS2.Here's hoping for a good regional pricing.
What's that, Original Sin 2?I wouldn't count on that. This is D:OS2.
On another note, EA prices their games higher in PLN than in Euro, making Polish Złoty the 6th most expensive currency to buy their games with.
Hooray. Really looking forward to Art of Rally. I loved Absolute Drift (which is on sale and everyone should buy it)Another game to add to the September release schedule:
I've been testing this one for uh... year(s)? now since it was in the super early alpha stage and I'll say it's pretty great! Music pretty awesome
I mean, I kinda expected the $60 tag on BG3, but was hoping for something cheaper since they already announced earlier that there won't be any keys sold by third-party sellers, and that means shitty Valve suggested price that is higher for Poland than what I pay for most games from official resellers or CDKeys. It's something I always wondered about - how come even local, Polish (IP locked to Poland) key sellers sell the games at higher price than Western resellers like GMG, 2games, etc. You'd think they'd have better pricing for their poorer, local market, but no, it's much worse outside of some discounts for older games which can be very good. How do they even stay in business? Must be people who don't know English and are scared to buy from international sites who keep them afloat.What's that, Original Sin 2?
Oh right, Wasteland 3 is cheaper than that despite being $60 somehow. Meh, I guess I'll wait until the full version if it's anything like that.
Could it be a lack of competition? It reminds how GPUs are super expensive in some countries where there aren't many companies importing and selling them. Like that that tweet how insanely expensive the new RTX cards are in Japan.Polish (IP locked to Poland) key sellers sell the games at higher price than Western resellers like GMG, 2games, etc. You'd think they'd have better pricing for their poorer, local market, but no, it's much worse outside of some discounts for older games which can be very good.

There are a lot of key resellers in Poland, so that can't be it. Plus, it makes sense for physical good prices to be influenced by lack of competition, but with digital things like games, you're competing with the whole world, not just local sellers.Could it be a lack of competition? It reminds how GPUs are super expensive in some countries where there aren't many companies importing and selling them. Like that that tweet how insanely expensive the new RTX cards are in Japan.
I assume they are still cheaper than Steam, though, who would want to use a reseller otherwise?
I don't think it's that bad news to be honest. I expected an increase of price and 60$ seemed the most natural price as texhnlyze said.Just like Wasteland 3, it's a fair and natural increase judging by the previous games.
Here's hoping for a good regional pricing. I might actually buy it on EA if it matches Wasteland 3 price.
Bought it yesterday myself but it was too late to do anything of substance before going to sleep. Hopefully I'll have more time today. From what I've seen the game runs much smoother than CK2 did.got CK3 as a gift so yay, I'll play it when I'm done with TMS #FE and I'll feel a bit better
thank you! really means a lot!First I want to say, amazing job @lashman! Always look forward to seeing the OP's you put together!
even lashman
Neither do I. I am more hyped for that other D&D game that actually seems to stick more closely to the rules and feeling than it. BG3 feels like it has Larian's slightly gross, dark brand of humor all of over and it's what turned me off D:OS2. BG3 feels, to me, like a rebranded D:OS3. From the art direction to the couple reused assets I've spotted, I'm not feeling it in the slightest.Not sure whats wrong, but I have zero hype for BG 3 and I have no idea why.
There are only two D&D games in production: BG3 and Dark Alliance, and the latter is an action game. You're either thinking about P:WotR which is Pathfinder and not D&D or Realms Beyond which uses WotC's OGL rules.Neither do I.

I do like Larian but they feel like with this game they are getting formulaic. I don't like that feeling and hope I'm wrong.
Yeah maybe that's what I'm worried about, I like the D:OS games but they are so fresh in memory that I'm not yet hungry for another one.Neither do I.

Well, if you or anyone else wants to become up to date with BG3, here are some resources that will generally give you most of the information that's been revealed so far:Yeah maybe that's what I'm worried about, I like the D:OS games but they are so fresh in memory that I'm not yet hungry for another one.
Maybe thats also why I havent really been keeping up with the development of BG3 so I really dont know much about it and thus just don't know what I'm missing out on.
Sounds like a stretch to me. You can use cRPG if you want a more general/broad description. D&D is D&D and Pathfinder is Pathfinder.Pathfinder is based on the D&D rules set, so calling it a D&D game is fair enough imo.
