Well I was in the midst of trying to grab a logo for a company name Hardy and something when all of a sudden a mystery modbot giveaway pops up and in my mind Hardy Boys poped straight in. Seeing as every book cover is portrait it's a bit hard to get something you can crop to the same size as Steam game image.

ahh, I see ... still - it's awesome good job

I'm still waiting on a key from Indiegala, Friday weekly 1. Apparently the person who updates keys broke their wrist so they have completely stopped updating keys.

 

[fantomena]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Fixed Dark Souls 2. I had to uninstall something called LAV Filters.

 

[NingenJanai]

Uhu. Konami has nothing better to do, it seems :l

Probably Kojima lawyers talked with Konami or something.

Board members saw reactions after name removal and they were scared for MGS V sales XD Well this is generation of backpedaling that is for sure

GOG is having a nice initiative: if you own a serial for those titles from a boxed version, you can claim a DRM copy for free.

More games on April.

Speaking of GOG, they have Putin now.

You are not lazy you are just scared to open old box.

Speaking of GOG, they have Putin now.

With an all-new website language, localised customer support, and a dedicated Russian forum, we're hoping to become the right place for all of our Russian-speaking gamers. We’re also adjusting our prices in those regions. For over a year we’ve been offering games at lower prices in Russia and other independent countries that emerged from the USSR, places where game prices have historically been lower than in western markets. Starting today, more games will be priced appropriately for these territories. We've decided to adjust our pricing to the realities of the market, to avoid a sense that you have to pay more to get your games DRM-free or that GOG.com games are more expensive than other stores that operate in those regions.

Just in case you wondering, introducing these price changes won't affect the way gifting works today on GOG.com.

yea dats also true

my dad once found a crushed dead roach in a book so like

fuck old shit

Redeem the code and throw away the box. If I'm not wrong, boxed versions had also Securom.
EDIT: A user confirmed also Steam keys are redeemable.

look, i have like 10 games in boxes

the stalker box is pretty nice

i'm not throwing that away

but i might redeemed it anyways <3

 

[Stallion Free]

The enemy changes in DS2SOTFS make the game pretty damn scary again. I'm really looking forward to a full blown replay with my SunBro.

 

[fantomena]

For what Ive read so far, seem slike I will just wait for a Scholar upgrade sale. Doesn't seem worth it for PC users.

Will greab the PS4 version and wait for PC sale.

 

[JustinBB7]

GAF delivers

Milamber approves

I thought this was coming to steam for some reason, then I found out it's Nintendo :'(

brb, preordering Fire Emblem Black.

Real talk, that was the only thing I remembered from the Fire Emblem trailer. That and onii-cha~

We need a Fire Emblem Warriors.

What makes picking up the PS4 edition any different than the PC version for someone who already played the game? Other than the higher price due to lack of discount.

 

[redlacs]

Damn you, redlacs

aww, there there. play some AdVenture Capitalist instead. the cash flow without any real labour has very calming effects

Well, just to inform you I changed my mind and decided to wait for any of the versions to get on sale. So I won't buy Scholars on any plattform right now.

Biggest reason is that I still got plenty to do in Bloodborne.

But to answer your question: I simply just want DS2 on my PS4 since I don't already have it there, on my PC I already have DS2. Also, if Demon's Souls is getting a remaster which I hope, my PS devices will be my ultimate Souls experience plattforms.

Nice! Now they have far more reasonable prices.

 

[Arthea]

That FEvsSMT topic is something else. People complaining that Japanese game is anime now?! What's next? We complain that games are made on this planet?

Nice! Now they have far more reasonable prices.

... for you
never thought I'll see the day

 

[Dr Dogg]

What's the actually performance like of DS2 on PS4? That should be the clincher for most folks who own both a PS4 and a more than capable PC. Christ even being able to use DSR should tip it in favour of the PC as well as driver manipulation for better AO and forced aniso.

no people are complaining that the game is not SMT and that it's pandering anime bullshit

which it is

given the choice, I can't understand why would people pick a console version, there is not a single reason, but people do this all the time. Obviously I'm missing some great benefits.

 

[derExperte]

PS4 at least reaches 60fps from time to time but the X1 really is the Sega Saturn of this decade. Poor little thing.

 

[Stallion Free]

I think this might answer your question

Dat framerate during the gangbang. My 970 handled that at 4K while locked at 60 with ease.

some are indeed complaining it's not SMT, and forgetting that it's not a SMT game, FE is in it on equal rights!
while some are complaining that it is anime, ridiculous as it sounds, not even mentioning rampant hyperbole in there.

 

[Dr Dogg]

I think this might answer your question

Eh, not really. None of the areas there are that demanding compared to some later sections or even just going through a fog gate which usually the alpha blending alone can spike GPU usage something chronic. To be fair whilst I do find DF to not be very thorough in there analysis (the main article says there's bokeh DOF in the new version despite looking like a straight up simple gaussian pass) to get to somewhere that would really test the performance is quite a ways in. But hey I'm all for if a job's worth doing it's worth doing right.

Persona style is where the money is, baby.

 

[Dragon1893]

DS2's performance on the X1 is some sad stuff.
I'm debating if I should pick it up, I really want to check out the dlc, sucks to be broke.
I have some card money which combined with the discount from owning the DX9 version should give me a decent price.
Having to start over is killing me though.

I guess you're right ... but then again - if PS4 can't maintain steady 60fps even in those "lighter" areas I can't imagine it suddenly pulling off 60fps without a hitch when you reach more demanding stuff in the game

Finished shooting my wedding pictures. Damn. I can not wait till they are edited (in 3 months...)

Anything happened over the last few days?

No. In September. Thanks.

I still think I am lucky~

eh, I'll wait for a sale of SotFS. $30 is bit much.

GOG teased a big news soon.

Steam keys?

I wouldn't say I'm right, what DF have done does show enough of a comparison between versions for quite a few peeps (and those who like to champion their platform of choice of course), but for me I have a different set of standards.

You get the wedding photos taken three months before the wedding?

wut

maybe you should start your own DF then?

Spoiler

and no, I'm not being ironic

 

[r3n4ud]

You mean 5 months. Why not take photos, you know, on the wedding day like every other married couple.

My first thought also... that would make the universe implode.
