Support NeoGAF

[dex3108]

SteamGAF i need help Should i do 180 turn and go against my principles (i don't want to support R* policy regarding PC delay) and buy GTA V on Nuuvem for 30$ or wait probably a year and get it for similar price and be outdated in GTA Online (i probably won't find any of my friends and most of you to play Heists and Online and you will be Level 300 and i will be Level 1 XD)?

I don't like zombies, and never played KF before (i played only when was free weekend once i think an i didn't like it xD). I want GTA Online just to go out and do crazy things with other people, i don't want anything to serious

seriously, why?

Inspiration from GOG's methods.

well of course I do, duuuuuh why wouldn't I? KF2 is a VASTLY superior game

Everything about how Stealth Inc/Bastard 2 has been distributed feels like some sort of experiment in how to sell as many copies of your game on every platform before coming onto steam. It's been bizarre.

An aversion to money?

GTAV will probably be one playthrough and done for me. Killing Floor 2 will likely be a staple for years.

Raw Mouse input is the ideal solution. The game polls the mouse hardware directly for input information, rather than relying on the information from the operating system.
This means you don't get annoying things like acceleration.

raw input is life. raw input is love.

... with all the mods and DLC

hell - even the first EA build already comes with modding tools well - a map editor, to be specific

 

[Sarcasm]

Honestly one thing I miss is mouse acceleration. I can't tell if its happening or not.

Well, 4gb of video memory for 4k and 2xmsaa isn't so bad.

I really like that you can turn camera auto centering off. Not being able to turn it off made Sleeping Dogs unplayable with Mouse and Keyboard for me.

Can you explain more? What this exactly is? I did get annoyed with sleepy dogs camera.

When you look around and let mouse sit still for a second it automatically resets the camera.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided announced (too early)

Cool. Deus Ex is one of my favorite series. Well, the first one I played is one of my goat and I still have to play HR (shoutout to dante ).

With this I cannot get the extreme excitement though. All which is shown is basically more-of-the-same which doesn't equal to crap but it will be pretty hard to reach the same joy with the same stuff. Would have liked a new protag and time-period tbh.

Also, all screens are very obviously not in-game shots. Why are people drooling over them?

raw input is life. raw input is love.

Huh. I never use that option since the default one feels good.
For getting good results with RAW input, does your mouse has to support a minimum dpi or something similar?

 

[Kurt Russell]

Are you going to run it at 4k?

That 4gb figure in the screenshot was taken with the game running at 4k.

 

[Sarcasm]

Unless you've got an ancient SSD I wouldn't worry about unpack times or writes. 60gbs of FFXIII took me less than 10 mins to unpack on an 840 Pro. 120gb of writes is nothing for current NAND/TLC chips, Samsung give a figure of something around 100tb of lifetime writes and that's being very generous. I think Anandtech or someone similar did or are still conducting a torture test to see how much they can get out of a selection of SSD's and it's an awful lot more than what manufacturers state.

Hummm SSD is brand new. Maybe I will just leave it. Can SSDs get fragmented? I tweaked my OS for SSDs.

Good thing I have 3.5 gigs.

No, turn defragmentation off in windows options (it will be scheduled automatically be default)

I have a feeling that manufacturer specs in that regard are extremely conservative. Every torture test seems to pass the manufacturer numbers by an order of magnitude.

I'm not sure about that. All I know is that the game taps right into the soul of the mouse.

Wow, GTA V port is looking great indeed.

No need, if he isn't using XP Windows already has turned defrag off for the SSD.

No. Go raw and stop living a lie.

you don't actually plan to buy those? tell me you don't

you do have your priorities straight, tho

That is indeed uploaded today 8.4. but the first Heists Trailer from 3.4. was also PC footage.

So you're not late technically but effectively.

No shit lol

 

[TheLetdown]

It took me almost a year and a half to play Dishonered. Why? I'm lazy and I didn't know it was going to be so fun.

I'm jealous. It was one of my favorite games of the past 5 years.

The DLC's incredibly well done, too.

Really? The last couple of times I installed Win 8.1 it was on there by default.

SO let GTAV unlock leaving 5GB. Than it shrinks down back to 60GB. And play?

=D

Received a R6: Siege code. Cool. Hope its good.

Isn't this the exact same trailer Rockstar released a few days ago?. And without the option of seeing it at 60fps.

Good job PCGamer

TXAA confirmed now we need HBAO+ XD

 

[derExperte]

Really? The last couple of times I installed Win 8.1 it was on there by default.

It will only do a quick trim-run but no full defrag.

Here's an interesting article that goes more in-depth: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/TheRealAndCompleteStoryDoesWindowsDefragmentYourSSD.aspx

Conclusion

No, Windows is not foolishly or blindly running a defrag on your SSD every night, and no, Windows defrag isn't shortening the life of your SSD unnecessarily. Modern SSDs don't work the same way that we are used to with traditional hard drives.

Yes, your SSD's file system sometimes needs a kind of defragmentation and that's handled by Windows, monthly by default, when appropriate. The intent is to maximize performance and a long life. If you disable defragmentation completely, you are taking a risk that your filesystem metadata could reach maximum fragmentation and get you potentially in trouble.

Killing Floor 2 is an amazing game and fully playable. You folks are in for a treat ocne it hits early access in 2 weeks.

Yup. HBAO+ is awesome.

FXAA, MSAA, and TXAA all on at the same time? Lol.

Looks like a respectable amount of settings though.

Yeah, really unnecessary.
