you must have to zoom the shit out of chrome. I only got a 1080p monitor and I got this shit on 150% zoom, default is beyond tiny, especially on gaf. back when I used my computer on my tv cause i didn't have a monitor I had that shit on +200% zoom.

Nah, I have it default. It's actually pretty easy to read. It's so sharp. Testing freesync with that amd windmill demo now.
Edit: The remote control is hilarious. Everything is in Korean.
it had shooter elements but also magic and equipment and classes that were governed by a character system of leveling and skill trees and all that fancy rpg crap
it's a mix, it doesn't mean 50-50, it just means that it takes some elements from one genre and combines them with elements from the other genre
dark souls plays mostly like an action game, you swing your sword, block with your shield, time your parries and dodges, etc. but it's also has magic and equipment and leveling and all those stuff are tied to an interesting character system, so it's also got rpg mechanics in it.
it's a blend of genres.
by comparison fallout 3 has a bad shooter combined with barely interactive sequences of gore in shaky cam. there's barely any gameplay in vats, it's the per-scenario equivalent of that "tell me a story" difficulty setting in me3
who cares? i never said me3 is more of an rpg than new vegas or whatever
fact is, despite being probably one of my favorite games ever and easily one of the best rpgs ever made, new vegas is still really boring to play. talking to people and questing? fucking fantastic. actually engaging with enemies in combat? tedious af
this is an argument i've heard over and over again over many different topics and it never ceases to be dumb
we're discussing a system in a game. this system being optional doesn't make it free from criticism and if it's bad and broken then i have all the right in the world to say "hey, this system is dumb and shouldn't be in the game"
if you disagree with me we can have a real conversation instead of me having to justify having an opinion
i think i overreached with the "best of both" part but i think mass effect as a series strikes a good balance between being an rpg and a shooter. doesn't mean it's super deep in both, or that both parts equally sophisticated, it just means that the rpg:shooter ratio they came up with was satisfying and fun to play from both sides.
i think specially me3 was really enjoyable that way, even if it had so many other problems.
i think then as a person that doesn't like shooters you deserve a better game instead of what essentially is a skip encounter button
i'm sure it's ok a compromise in beth's head, but vats as a system is really not good
- it's too simple: ap is only used for shooting, so the only choice you make is where you shoot
- it's too unbalanced: shooting in the head is like 10x more effective than anything else
- it works bad with the fps stuff: you can be like right next to a person and miss
- it's not fun: it's repetitive and uninteractive as a result of bad balance and lack of options
the me stuff i got into in the replies above

How bad were the 100% for Tales and Life?
I might squeeze those in before the end of the year and it'd be nice if they weren't too long to 100% or too tedious.
Great counter-argument: "It's dumb."
And not really. It's an option. It doesn't affect gameplay if you ignore it.
Don't like magic in dark souls because of whatever reason? Great, don't use it. But there's no need to remove it for the people who like it.
Basically it boils down to this: saying it should be removed isn't really helpful or "good criticism" even with reasons you don't like it. Instead, the focus should be on "how can VATS be improved or more useful?" as the other poster who was trying to fix VATS suggested (by tying AP regen to difficulty or something like that).
As for the rest? I'm too tired to deal with it.
Dogs and Deer don't really mix well.

Took me MAYBE an extra hour to 100 after playing all 5 LiS eps. There's a "collectibles" mode, and they split the eps into the locations and tell you how many you have in each, and let you jump in w/o having to go through the whole ep.
Don't you automatically 100% telltale games by finishing them?

So AMD's encoder basically just shrugs at trying to record 4k (This is for the 2xx series. GCN 1.2 can encode 4k). I can record using straight x264 but than the game crawls like crazy because my cpus are busy encoding the crap instead of running the game.
The only way I can record and keep an acceptable frame rate is with Playclaw's 'fast' encoder which seems like it's straight RAW .avi.
I'm currently uploading a witcher 3 video of my poor little 290 running 4k at ultra (no post processing). It's 23 seconds with no audio and is 3GB

Ok, maybe I will love DONTNOD like everyone else after this -- this sounds amazing. So I can just play the game from start to finish, then go back in a separate mode to clean up achievements with trackers for them? THIS. SOUNDS. AMAZING.
Depends on the game. The Wolf Among Us had several achievements for "completing the log book" which required you to branch through specific scenarios and select specific dialogue. I think 400 days was a bit more complex and had some things like this as well. But then TWD Season 2 was 100% straight up "complete these main branches of the story" achievements... without looking through the achievements, I don't know which category TftB falls into, so I asked.

About time, woohooo!
Well, not really. Too late, inxile.
I'll definitely jump back in later in December.
No, most of their more recent games have had some optional collectibles or whatnot that were required for 100%. It rarely takes more than an extra hour or two to get them though.
I can't see it corresponding to any of the clues.

Humble Monthly Fumble imminent?
Tomb Raider is such a zero-sum game; inoffensive at its worst, and uninspired at its best.

Interesting, but Lara never wears that in game though. Pretty damn sure anyway.

She does near the end. That would be a huge fucking bummer that game is a re-bundle too.
Edit: Maybe she doesn't I can't find a picture. She definitely has costume with a bomber jacket in that game.

Right, I forgot about the snowy part near the end. Duh.
ffs
did you remove literally the two key-to-my-point sentences on purpose or you just decided to stop reading for funsies?
and then you just say "not really"?
pls
a) not all systems need to be "improved". some things are just extra fat and should be removed because they add nothing to the game. say dark souls, they removed consumables from demons souls and replaced them with limited number of heals in estus flasks. they readded consumables in dark souls 2 and the game is just worse for it, you can just stack on consumables and remove any long term impact of encounters. and while you can ignore it, the game is balanced around it so it creeps out into the healthy aspects of the game.
and there's always people that like everything, even the really bad things in games. i see this all the time in league, i see mechanics get removed that are beloved by people but that are just bad for the game and then we find the game turns out better and more fun for it. there's always gonna be a minority that's gonna be "that sux", but you can't pretend having a broken mechanic in your game doesn't affect the rest of it
b) in my first post i mentioned that maybe it could work as a "high impact long cooldown" thing, which would mean you shoot a bunch and maybe every now and then you get access to a special move or whatever. there's other solutions which might have merit to them, i don't mean to shoot down ideas to improve vats, but i also don't think it's a system worth keeping. things like tying ap regen to difficulty might make vats slightly more interesting, but the reality is that the mechanics in that system are super shallow and any real improvement would require a serious overhaul which i've not seen any ideas for
whateverAs for the rest? I'm too tired to deal with it.

The HMB (or its first installment at least) is shaping up to be pretty good value in general, but may not be of much widespread appeal for those of us here who are likely to have a good chunk of its titles already.
I quite enjoyed TR2013, despite all of its faults, for what it's worth.

Where did they share that image? It's not on Twitter or the humble site.The lanterns also don't match the lantern in the old hints. They are shaped pretty differently.

Is it as Dark Souls-y as it appears? Don't know how someone could screw that formula up--even Lords of the Fallen looks pretty OK because of it.
Probably because you barely play them.
Those results are for first half of their fiscal year where they released only Grow Home, MM VII and Zombi U port. They are focusing on next year where they will have sh*t ton of games. Far Cry Primal, The Division, For Honor, Ghost Recon Woodlands, New Assassins Creed, and there are at least 5 new projects that they will announce I think.
what's the prize?

They didn't, likely a Flare effect than something else.
Wha :x all I do is play games
No. It's if dark souls had weird controls and was obtuse in it's direction :<
Basically it's dark souls without the fun of dark souls?
I'd imagine it will be pretty easy to pick up Saints Row for $3-$4 after the bundle drops from people that already have it.
wait
are you calling dark souls NOT obtuse?
i love those games but cmon, some of those mechanics are like...
cmon!
Look, I knew where to go in Souls at least. This game is "heres dark cavern #131 because we textured the entire game the same", I'm just saying in comparison.
Regardless, Souls is a much better use of your time. Replaying Souls is too. Anything else is.

i see what you mean. i think dark souls is sometimes a bit too obtuse too, but in comparison it might be light and day. can't tell cos i haven't really played that other game, just thought it was funny to tell a game "why can't you be more like dark souls!?" when talking about direction and clarity in mechanics lol
also agree on playing souls being a better use of anyone's time than pretty much any other game
