But will people be getting the Digital Deluxe Dood Edition, or the Digital Deluxe Doodoo Edition?
This is what we need to know.

Someone from the other thread posted a picture of his HL2 manual from the OG Xbox. The URL is the same. Considering that the other subdomains for practically everything have also seen updates, it'sprobablynothing.gif

they can't do no wrong, even when they're doing wrong. They're just that good!
but it's okay, they already uploaded a new video with the plagiarized art removed. Could this mean that they were in the wrong? Let's let the ND fans tell you so we can find out!
but seriously, the folks that are hardcore into ND can be insufferable at times but no more than the folks who are really into Destiny or Halo. It's just that ND's games tend to be pretty high profile in comparison so that brings with it a special breed of top tier defense forces.
mind you, this is coming from someone who has played well over half a dozen naughty dog games in his life and hasn't played a bad one yet so I don't have a thing against them at all
Yeah, apparently it used to redirect to support page for xbox games and someone has since broken it.

So Darius Burst Super Ultra CE Excellent Hyper Edition Ultra Legacy EX+ (or whatever it's called)...
... is actually pretty legit. It's really pricey for a shooter, but *goddamn* is there a lot of content there. There's not *that* many core stage "concepts" but they get remixed quite literally hundreds of ways. And there is a ton of player ships and they all actually play really differently (one is even a "melee" ship of sorts). I also appreciate the different modes of play, it's not just the arcade game in a STEAM wrapper.

Does anyone know if the coupon offered with HIB 16 ("10% off Humble Monthly") stack?
I only have to spend $1 to get a coupon, so if I get one coupon and buy the March bundle earlier, I get $1.20 off for $1, then I can get another bundle for $1 and apply the coupon for the April bundle, so that I get $1.20 off for $1 again. In the end, I would be paid $0.40 and two HIB-16 bundles for being a lawful subscriber.
If coupons stacked, I would stack 4 coupons so that I would get $4.13 off for $4. In the end, I would be paid $0.26 and 8 HIB-16 bundles for being a lawful subscriber.

Who to believe eh? Well no one until it's out and in the hands of a lot more people to see if these are universal issues or one dependent on a particular set of hardware. Wouldn't be the first time a member of the press has cried foul and been one of the odd ones out. Surprised they didn't try it on any other PC to confirm the issues but that would be too easy wouldn't it

Thats what I was wondering as well. I remember previews before in german gaming mags tested the games on 3 different machines to make sure whether that issue might have sth. to do with the hardware or are universal.

Ashes of Singularity beta DX12 benches revisited
Nvidia (who are renowned for their drivers) say drivers are the reason that AMD is winning with Async compute
DX12 works well with any GCN part from AMD which have been available since Feb 2012. That's good news for people with older AMD cards.

Thanks for the welcome back messages,I won't individually comment to avoid messing up the thread.
The Destructoid article says they saw some of the issues in videos from other members of the press. Doesn't sound like enough due diligence to come to a conclusion
Let cooler heads prevail for the moment.

I don't know that "it's probably their computer" should be the takeaway from reports of "this PC port is a hot mess."
Like XCOM 2 has serious performance issues that affect people almost at random. It sucks, but in no way is it on a person's hardware--it's on the game and its devs.

it'll be sold seperately after release
look like I'm going to wait for a steam sale on this one
That's a good point.
... And that's also because I'm feeling so damned awful. I do very little in the way of... Well, both being productive and procrastinating. I'm just doing nothing. It's kind of amazing in a way.
CS makes pennies by comparison to Dota. That's the difference.

Nowadays people expect demos when they hear "Beta" sadly...
Hmm, thinking of grabbing it anyway as they are using it to test the steam waters. Just as long as it's not a total crapshoot.

Thats not true. The difference is theyre not competing with any other f2p mobas with CS

I don't know. Compared to the Division Beta, Hitman felt quite tame in comparison. I played the boat mission twice and that was about it.

PC Gamer upset that Eidos used the word beta to describe an actual beta correctly for once and not a demo for an obviously already finished game.
Okay.
It's Ubisoft in Division's case, being they gotta have that game done because money. That game is probably further long than Hitman by quite a clip and probably more or less done. In Hitman's case it's a legitimate beta and the game is more or less an Early Access game.
To me, Mushi and DARIUSBURST were tied for the best shmups last year. There are 6 more ships coming form different series soon.

The other pack contains Sega ships that I can't remember right now.
Once again, I'm playing on Impossible:
Dead Space 3 is arguably better than RE6 because at least they didn't fuck up the real-time inventory. Speaking of, it's strange that the game doesn't save inventory after you use a bench. You often encounter them in areas with enemies, so death means having to redo everything.
And yeah, apparently there are no saves during optional missions. Checkpoints, but if you have to exit the game, you're doing the entire thing over. And those side missions are probably the worst part of the game outside of rappelling.
Rig upgrade stations are sporadic. I don't think I encountered one on Terra Nova, where I spent 1-2 hours. I was hoping to up my health, because as of this moment, regenerators kill me instantly. Not sure if that'll change with more health though.
There have been times where I've stood in front of an enemy and unloaded bullets to no avail.
The one thing from RE6 I would've liked is the option to have an AI partner that's invincible/has their own ammo. Something you can toggle, as I can see how people would be against it.

I mean I've got 5 PCs in this house that have Windows on it and if something doesn't work on one I'd try it on another. If issues persist I'm then going to check various things and systems logs and get to the bottom of things if possible. Seeing as they have an early copy, I'm assuming for review, wouldn't the correct procedure be to speak to their PR contact at NISA first? Ask them if this is something they are aware of? Not go looking of YouTube for other peoples videos? Even if NISA aren't aware at least you're then doing something that could possibly aid them and actual purchasers of the game. If I want to speak to someone I have contact details for I don't got off somewhere else and write an article to communicate to them.
Yes it will though? They have stated it will be sold individually after release but for now it's a pre-order exclusive.

To be fair Pubs/Devs have basically made beta's into demos.

That's what I was getting at. And now people equate beta=demo so when an actual beta comes out people get all mad saying "IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE THIS AT LAUNCH OH MY GOD HOW HORRIBLE!"

worst part of dead space 3 was those terrible wall climbing sections that happen wayyyyyyyy too often.
I wish you the best on your Impossible run rtcn63. I hope you took heart medication for what is coming your way

Pfft Alpha's and Beta's are so 00's, it's all about pre-Alpha's now.

Basically 1 more hour away from Disagea PC. We'll be seeing soon how this port really is.
I remember the rappelling sections where you have to "evade" falling rocks. Don't think they even checkpoint you after each section.
It's funny. I know people hate on Isaac's characterization after the first game (where he was a silent protagonist), but he works well as the player identification figure. Like, he just has to put up with so much bullshit. The series should've ended
with him putting a bullet in his head and living a fleeting dream with Nicole.
Street Fighter Pre-Alpha
For some reason, I am feeling fairly confident that the port will be fine.

More than likely, aside from the lack of native xinput support. Hopefully they either update or someone mods in new icons.
Saying that I'm part of the problem. Seeing as Street Fighter V Early Access Edition is currently up to my 8th most played game on Steam at a smidge over 41 hours. And that's just over a week from it's release.
If all your games are released in unfinished states with the price of admission being a promise down the line of future content 'for free' then I'm sorry

The story in DS3 is so bad though. It's some stupid love triangle and some guy who wants to do evil things and of course everything goes wrong. Hell, that game didn't even have a real ending unless you played the DLC and that thing is hot garbo, too.
I really thought people were exaggerating with DS3's drop in quality, i thought folks were just turned off by coop and that the game got too much shit...until i played it. Then, i got it. It really was a hell of a drop compared to DS1 and DS2 and a total shame because that series deserves better.

Well there's certainly no problem in playing (and liking) what you like to play. But you just more or less exactly described "Early Access" - "the price of admission being a promise down the line of future content for free".
I enjoyed SF5, but there wasn't enough there to hold my interest for more than about 5 hours.

I do owe you a gift(s) at some point.
No I agree. The story isn't good, and that Isaac has to endure it is just maddening. Feel sorry for the guy.
DS3 takes the worst part of DS2 (cheap enemy placement + being stuck in a poorly lit, enclosed room while a dozen plus necros are literally thrown at you) and makes it the focus the game. That and the insta-deaths. It and RE5 have shades of being a good successor, but they do enough wrong for most people that you hesitate to replay them.
