It's a good thing (for me) that cpus have stagnated, my 2500k is still going strong 4 years after I bought it. Just need some more ram and I'll be okay for a few more years.

Someone said Dan was on PS4. The footage he posted on YT didn't look as good as the GBEast QL at least.
As a console only gamer who was a PS3 only gamer last gen, this generation is a huge improvement when it comes to port quality.
Yeah, the PS3 didn't set a high bar in that regard.

Shiiiit, I was gonna get the PS4 version of JC3. I really hope it's not as bad as it sounds.

Not really. I've had a ton of fun with my ps4/xbone/wii u.
I don't really care much for technical prowess.

Jeff is playing ROTR, can't wait to see his opinion on it if he hates it or not. He disliked the first one but i feel this one is way better than the first one.
Man the ending to the FC4 Yeti DLC is abrupt and unsatisfying.
Wasn't that during the silly Best Console Exclusives category where the Wii U won? If it wasn't then my bad.

I love the people in that JC3 thread saying "can't wait for next gen" completely forgetting that the exact same thing was said last gen when ports had problems.

Glad you liked it (and the same to all the other duders who gave positive comments)! I've got my longest ever GB Animated coming some time next month for you folks.

Fantastic news. Your stuff is incredible.
Probably less rushing and more already running up against the limitations of the current consoles. It's a very nice looking game with a huge map and there can be a lot of explosions/physics etc going on at any one time. You can also move around the map much faster than in, say, MGSV.

It's a damn shame that the blame is going to be placed on the devs and not on the console companies for putting out underpowered hardware.
Jeff wasn't kidding when he said the Black Ops 3 campaign goes places. The first half of the game is pretty boring with a not only bad story, but a hard to follow one too. I even put the game down for a couple of weeks because it was so bad. But the second half of the game gets crazy, so that at least game me a push to finish it.
I'm lathering up in anticipation.
Still have some hours of weekend left.
Trying not to buy Just Cause 3 yet, just to see about performance on PC. I installed Stranger's Wrath HD and might go back into Far Cry 3 again.

A large portion of the console userbase isn't gonna raise hell about that sort of thing. A large portion of the PC userbase will.

Oh hey, and assuming that by some incredible coincidence you're the same Myggen who provided my source audio; thank you for that!

My favorite part of this is that Jeff is holding a knife and Dan is holding a bat.

Well if it's true that the game has memory leaks then that part, at least, is just shoddy programming.
I don't understand, isn't the power of the console irrelevant since it's the developers job to get a game running on the systems? Like what would be the point of blaming the console companies?
At this point I'm just trying to power through the main story for FO4 so I can get in some Dying Light and some more Invisible Inc and Pillars of Eternity before year's end. But it seems like I'm at a point where the game just wants me to do sidequests for a while. That's frustrating.

I actually agree with this perspective (or kinda both?). If they can't get it running well on the platform, it shouldn't be on that platform.

I know some won't miss it (I know I will), but I doubt we'll get new Metal Gear Scanlon episodes for a while with the downstairs move coupled with the Game of the Year festivities.
I can see it both ways. Sony made a weird system last generation that caused third parties a lot of problems and that's kind of on them.
But developers and publishers are just so fucking set to try and release everything everywhere because of the economics of AAA development. We've even seen them release something totally busted and cancel it after release.
Then again a good portion of the audience will tell a major games website to go fuck themselves if they get blacklisted for messing up a PR campaign so maybe it's on us too.

I wonder what they have planned for PSX. I assume everyone will be in town for it. I wonder if they will go to the conference portion, or if they will stream it and do their usual talk-overs and then head over to the convention center (if they are going at all). I remember John Vignocchi alluding to some Giant Bomb after show or party or something.
Fuckin A!
Also (end of the Creed spoiler)
That scene where they go up the stairs and Rocky says "You feel like you're flying"... When you know that the title of the Rocky theme is Gonna Fly Now... Goosebumbs.
I realized that I was not emotionally ready for the idea of Rocky dying... There's was a bit of a close call during the movie and man it got to me...

One of the most slept on games of that generation. The storyline goes some really cool places.
I tried to play it a couple of months ago for the first time and it just felt like a bad mid 2000s action game. I know the twist and didnt get that far but yikes it was not fun to play at all

The devs are stuck between releasing a game that performs well, or a game that looks acceptable enough to be marketed.
Does some blame lie with them for wanting to put out a product that can still make them money, even though it's borderline broken? Yeah, for sure. It's irresponsible and a little shady in some cases. But the root of the issue is that these consoles just aren't beefy enough for the "next gen" experience that people were hoping for.
Edit: Like, 30 FPS at 900p. with framerate drops, and tearing. In 2015. That's unacceptable. The blame doesn't lie with any one party, but man oh man those consoles should be able to do better.
Yeah. However everyone was ecstatic that the consoles didn't cost a lot. This is the result. People expected a jump similar to last generation and aren't getting it. Supercharged PC...smh.
Sure it's disappointing that the consoles don't live up to previous expectations because of price worries and technology reasons. But imo it's the developers job to create games for the said systems that they know the specifications for. So I find it hard to fault the console creators unless they have some hand in making the game.
i largely agree with you on gta
it's kind of funny how much more interesting fallout 4 is just because the amount of npcs fighting other npcs seems to have been upped by a factor of five. They really struck a good balance of wandering-the-wastes-alone and oh-shit-gunfire-over-there-actual-fight-is-happening

I think the majority of console gamers don't even care about the technical issues people online care about outside of servers for games just fucking breaking. I don't expect the average console gamer to scream at the clouds about how 30FPS is the bane of the video game industry. There are times where I feel like if I knew less about the technical side of games I'd enjoy certain games more.

I should really just bite the bullet and build a ga,ing pc. This is getting all the way ridiculous as a PS4 only person.
