performance all around seems kind of suspect. there's no reason it should be running poorly. hopefully they use the next three weeks well?

The character generation lobby thing sounds awesome.
Randomised loot... ehh. I dunno about that. It's a really thin line between needless busywork and completely gamebreaking. It'll be interesting to see how XCOM 2 handles it.
Since it's a preview build, I'd chalk it up to loading/streaming imperfections. Though on the other hand, they delayed XCOM 2 for a reason.
Speaking of the visuals, the characters looked great. I wish GB had let them show off soldier customisation more--they clearly wanted to.
Uniquely accented voices is all kinds of hype.

I'd imagine by now they're on the shipping build, or at least I hope, unless they're going digital only and can get away without printing anything.
Huh, if it's not on consoles maybe they could actually get away with it. But three weeks would still be a super tiny deadline.
It really was something else.

I've seen a couple of other videos on YouTube that looked better. Not sure how demanding the specs are.
Finished watching the EX.

No, I mean, they specifically mentioned it was a preview build early in the video.

I'd love to see that. You can get pretty invested in your fake soldiers with these games.
Long War voice packs were the fucking bomb
you know how cool it is to have a singaporean english heavy save the day? fucking cool, that's how cool it is.
They get to the mun and unleash aliens. fast forward x years and now Project BEAST must head the heroic resistance. It writes itself

Is there any chance of a Dragon's Dogma QL pre-release? 'Cause I'm fiending for it.
Everything in XCOM 2 is a nightmare. I don't know how they'd manage it.
Alex should be at the controls. His sardonic nature would suit the XCOM universe well.

That rescue mission in the QLEX had the kind of emergent dramatic madness that XCOM is so damn good at. The failed cell break-in, the miracle wall opening, the mad dash for the rescue zone,
. So psyched for this one.
Duff's noble sacrifice

You know, I've been thinking that I won't get X-com 2 because it'll get in the way of persona 5, but then I can't remember why I expect persona 5 to release so soon.
Was there any indication that Persona 5 is releasing early 2016 or am I making up dates from my crazed delusion?

The official estimate from the Atlus US twitter account when it was announced it was delayed into 2016 was "summer"
Summer 2016 in Japan, probably later (fallish) for US.
you just can't wait for acid jazz meguro

I know man, I JUST WANT TO SEE THEM SAVE DOODLEY!!!
You hold on to that hope, but I think this'll end up as less The Martian and more Event Horizon.

Rewatching the Random PC Game: Omikron video. Man, this is a lot more entertaining than I remembered!
It's hilarious that they are keeping the narrative stuff so close to the chest when it's things like "Duff the swordsman" that actually last for the XCOM stories.

Wait and choose is the best approach. With everyone and their grandmothers wanting to make a VR headset might as well wait and see which one you feel is worth it so don't rush.

Hold off man. Never buy first gen tech.
Let them hammer out the kinks on the hardware first by beta testing on the rubes. Wait a year and build a new PC/upgrade you old one first.

Occulus rift doesn't have summer lessons.
Saving up and then buying the powerful PC before the Oculus is more logical 0_o
Exactly. We have the internet's Will Smith to futz around with first gen hardware while we wait for the polished stuff.
Oculis just sounds dirty.Don't buy knockoff products
I've already waited 3 years to futz around with VR, i'm kind of tired of waiting. I sort of just want that first gen experiance of messing around with something cool. But the barriers to entry are high indeed.
Think of all the gunpla you could buy instead!

You're right, you could use $600 in worse ways than buying an oculus rift.
Why was a 'Randon PC Game' video just on the home page for me there for a minute?
That's what I'm sayin!

Brad was asking those Firaxis developers if the snake people were DTF wasn't he?

Almost done with Hearts of Stone. Everyone's right. It's fantastic. If you enjoyed The Wticher 3 and haven't bought it, you should 100% check it out. That piece of content alone is worth the whole expansion pass for me. Given the scope of Blood and Wine, I expect it to be even better. So cool.
I don't think I've had more fun doing something than building the PG Unicorn Gundam. It's so good. For the price of the oculus, you could get the PG Unicorn, the Unicorn Banshee and have a ton left over for even MORE building fun.

Hey look, I'm joking man.
You're talking to a guy who have spent more on audio the past few months than the costs to pay for an occulus rift and a compatible graphics card, even accounting the ludicrous Australian shipping fees. Probably with cash left over to buy some OR games too. We all have our vices.

I know it was a joke. Still needed to play defense. Haha.
I mean, look at this thing.
You're basically just a step behind me. There is the Auction House Quest, a third task and one final story quest to wrap it up.
Haven't you read that thread? VR is dead on arrival, Gunpla is foreva'.
