It's Free on Demand sub.
Just finished setting up my 1080p downsampled res, did some benchmarking with 1080p native vs downsampled 1080p. Your correct, I didn't have any FPS difference in any of the games I tested. Also I'd like to say that 1080p looks really nice, I don't really feel like I need AA with resolution that crisp.
I'd also like to mention that I really don't see any visual difference between HBAO and SSAO, maybe my eyes are bad or something. On the bright side I can safely disable this stuff and get some extra frames without caring.
It won't appear unless they change it's type. You can still install it via direct link.
Usually temp promos will be 'NoCost' type and appear on library.
They keep on adding little tweaks here and there, even added Spanish as a language recently but as far as big content goes I think they might have moved on. On their roadmap page only Legend and Dungeon are there now.

AMPLITUDE has some really cool ideas. I'll do my part!
And for anyone wording, their games are good stuff if you're a 4X fan. You'll arrive for the great presentation and style, then stay for A Game of Numbers. (Note: I haven't actually played Dungeon of the Endless, but from everything I've heard it's as good as their other games.)
Well, that or unless he leaves it installed/buys the DLC.
Maybe that's the idea! "If you want the game to stick around in your library then buy the DLC, chump!" WinterDemons

I snagged it and it worked! Thanks to you and WhiskeyDiver!
I even got more than I expected. Baby's first STD, yay!
Are you having fun? Or better, do have more fun than GTA4?
Hm. I am a noob when it comes to Studios, so I was actually thinking from a Publisher perspective. Wouldn't it make more sense to bring RDR after GTAV+DLC incomes have slowed down to not cannibalize?

Thanks to whoever gave away 100% OJ, but the code modbutt sent me is a bit screw-y, PM me if you can!

Believe it or not, we are nearly 2 years out from GTAV's release and almost exactly 5 years since RDR came out. We'll hear about it (whether it's rumors or confirmation) before the end of the year i imagine, San Diego has to show what they've been doing for 5 years already.

Wow. 2 years since GTAV hit PS360 and 5 years since RDR? Time flies by. They are both still new games for me, in my head.
I am eager to be proven wrong by San Diego Studio's RDR Remaster reveal then
I'm forcing myself to 100% a mission before moving on to the next one, so if anything I'm making it worse for myself.
Well, what's most important for publishers (well, those beholden to shareholders, anyway) is that initial wave of full-price sales and I'd be shocked if Red Dead Next is on the cards for this year.

You are even more insane than I thought. 100%ing every mission would've completely ruined the game for me.

I don't like what Abrams has done with Star Trek, I don't like what he has done with Fringe and I am pretty sure I won't like what he is doing with Star Wars.
Then again, as a non-american Star Wars never meant much to me to begin with.

This looks one of those games which would be more fun on a smartphone/tablet. Nice video as usual!My Quick Look on Lux Delux:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDlfZjcS-k8
Quick Impressions: It's RISK with a ton of options and, as of last night, around 1200 user generated maps. It does support cross platform multiplayer, but only with desktop OS (PC, Mac, Linux). The mobile builds (iOS and Android) do not have the ability to play multiplayer with the desktop.
The Steam overlay can make things glitchy, but you literally just have to minimize the window and maximize it to fix, but it's few and far between.
Cckecked friendslist to watch your broadcast. Sadly you are not playing currently. Would have liked to watch you 100 missions.I'm forcing myself to 100% a mission before moving on to the next one, so if anything I'm making it worse for myself.
On that. I feel always a bit weird when watching friends streams. In that I feel obliged to watch longer than I actually want. I usually want to et an idea of the game etc. but I keep watching for 5-10mins.

Some update from last year. Though afaik it always worked like this, the UI just didn't tell you.
I liked his Star Trek for what it was, but the various Star Trek TV series are something else (I hope Voyager and Deep Space Nine will come to Blu Ray soon). I have yet to watch Into Darkness.
I tried to watch Super 8 twice and both times I fell asleep.
Fringe was great, though, but probably because he didn't have much to do with it.
Never tried Lost and I don't plan to.
And I never really cared for Star Wars outside of KotOR1&2, so I have 0 hype for this new movie and all other SW movies that Disney is planning

The $1 tier seems like a very good deal.
The only great season, too.
However, most people disagree with my opinion. To this day I don't know why but I'll let people have their factually wrong opinion in this case.

The only Star Trek movies I liked were the Picard ones. Kirk was too smugI liked his Star Trek for what it was, but the various Star Trek TV series are something else (I hope Voyager and Deep Space Nine will come to Blu Ray soon). I have yet to watch Into Darkness.

The one where they time-travel to save a whale was good though. I only ever watched the first season of Fringe but didn't finish it. It was just not to my liking.
Lost actually sounds interesting. I should start watching it sometime. I should also start watching Game of Thrones I think -_-'
How funny, the only Star Wars I ever cared for was Jedi Knight 2 Jedi Outcast!

Lost is .... filler the series, I actually watched all series in a week when all this uproar because of ending was happening, I was curious. How I managed that in a week? Simply, by fast forwarding filler: repeats, repeats of flashbacks, repeats of repeats, something is in a jungle scenes, that's like 80% of series. I'm not even kidding
I liked Startrek a lot, btw, more or less all of it, although I like original series and new generation more than all later parts.

But I want to fight you. Because that's a ridiculous thing to say.
I don't think liking SW has anything to with being American. It's the most universal good vs bad story ever.

I think it has vastly more cultural impact in USA than ROW.
Almost everything is good-evil anyway.
