Whoa, spoilers. I went ahead and fixed your post for you. Be more careful next time.


Also, have you guys and girls seen Flinthook yet? The gameplay looks like that fine line between the nostalgic familiar and laser-honed exciting twists on the formula.

EDIT: There's a SteamDB sub for it, so it's fairly safe to assume it's coming to our neck of the woods.

I'm on vacation in Mexico right now. I'm considering getting The Walking Dead Michonne, can I buy it or am I at risk of being banned?

as someone going to mexico in july, this question is important to me too

Red Hook Games has announced a slight delay for Darkest Dungeon on PS4 and Vita. It was due spring/early summer but has been moved to late July/August.

"We want to make sure that all of the Town Event contents we are working on now are solid for inclusion into the console release," the team said, "as well as making sure it runs like butter and plays well with a controller. Adjusting controls, in particular, is not a quick process.

"We have a level of quality that we want to ensure in all of our releases and we would rather take some extra time to make it right, rather than rush it out the door."

yeah, it's basically the "help you go through Anor Londo weapon". Don't rely on it too much though, bad scaling means it won't be good for much time.

It's also a good weapon for dealing with O & S.

FF9 is now at almost 120K sold (still on the bestseller list btw), it'll likely overtake Lightning Returns (almost at 150K sold) after all
while Stardew Valley is at 1,010,773 ± 24,261 and still on the bestseller list, watta beast.

Ni-Oh difficulty level has more in common with 8 bits games than Souls exactly, in a sense that it's really poorly designed, isn't fun AT ALL and has nothing to do with DS. I'm glad this is not a new Onimusha entry, maybe there's still some hope for samurai games.

The latter. You're expected to purchase from the store of your home country while travelling abroad.

The only way you technically would have little risk of being banned is if you got yourself a payment method specifically on that country. Ergo, opening a bank account there.
You can't do it with your regular payment methods.

Beat Stories: The path of destinies a few days ago, it's a good game just with some very obvious flaws, some of them involve spoiling the story so I won't do that.

It is very repetitive though, and the gameplay is pretty basic. I did love the narrator (not as much as Bastion's though), and the characters were endearing.

Finished Intrusion 2, which is my 28th beaten game this year. I started playing this game 2014 but for some reason I didn't beat the game.

Everybody's Rapture is so terribly optimized. Right now the PS4 version runs better than the PC version and the PS4 version doesn't either run good.

Are you sure? Digital Foundry says otherwise: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-everybodys-gone-to-the-rapture-pc-face-off

 

[fantomena]

Well yes, I own both versions.

 

[Kurt Russell]

I wasn't questioning that, haha

I meant that maybe your PC isn't up to the task? it looks pretty demanding

 

[fantomena]

Might be.

I got this:

12 GB RAM
GTX 690
i7 2600 3,4 GHz
Win10

Weird thing is that even games like Star Citizen maximized runs better than Everybody's Rapture.

 

[Kurt Russell]

Yeah, I'd say it's definitely that. The 690 was a great card, but it's well past its heyday (having 2gb of VRAM is a killer)

[Sarcasm]

Yet I get good FPS in SC, Elite Dangerous, DS3...division and I am on a 670 lol

 

[fantomena]

Yet I get good FPS in SC, Elite Dangerous, DS3...division and I am on a 670 lol

Well I get good FPS on all those games maximized too (except for Division since I don't own it).

Might also have to do with no sli profile in Rapture.

 

[Kurt Russell]

Yet I get good FPS in SC, Elite Dangerous, DS3...division and I am on a 670 lol

But you probably mix and match settings

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

the 690 is pretty oldish by modern card standards so im not shocked that a 2016 game has trouble with it

 

[freshVeggie]

They released another patch note.

It seems so.

Regulation Ver 1.06 - April 28th
27 April - Kimundi
Ashen Ones,

A new Regulation version will be updated to adjust the game balance on Dark Souls III on Thursday, April 28th. It will not require an additional maintenance.

Main Adjustements:

The range of the matching level of the Blade of the Darkmoon and the Blue Sentinels have been adjusted.
The efficiency of the following categories has been adjusted: Short Sword, Twinsword and Magic.
Other game balance improvement and bug fixes.

After the update is completed, the newest version will appear on the top left of the title screen as below:
App Ver 1.04
Regulation Ver 1.06

Embrace the Darkness!

 

[fantomena]

I defense of the card, Everybody's Rapture and Division beta are the only problems Ive had with it so far. I had problems with Tomb Raider Rise until I got a good sli profile for it.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I take it I should probably look into replacing my 660M?

It usually works fine, though.

 

[jshackles]

Firefox updated to v 46. Any effects on ES?

Nope, it should be fine. The real exciting part will be when it updates to v48, then it will support the WebExtensions version - meaning it will be identical to the Chrome version's functionality

Spoiler

assuming Mozilla fixes a bunch of bugs before that happens

.

 

[Kurt Russell]

Yep, the lack of a SLI profile is what kills it definitely. Since it's a dual card, it basically works as a 680 when it doesn't have a SLI profile.

 

[BoosterDuck]

Goddamn, Nintendo is so done.

I hope they just start making full size Amiibos now.

 

[Hektor]

Goddamn, Nintendo is so done.

Nintendo should go third party and exclusively produce Amiibos for other company's franchises

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

I hear ya but even as an SLI card it's getting long in the tooth. I guess it depends on how max-y you want to get with your games though.

I know nothing about the M line but sure, go for broke

They just keep bundling more and more games for each new bundle. 15 games, and none of them are quality games.

there will be more playable VR games at E3 than Nintendo games.

think about that for a moment

Fall 2017, gives the NX ample time to fail.

I know. My biggest requirement for my next card is that it's not gonna be a dual-card, I hate sli.

 

[Tizoc]

There wouldve been more vr games either way what is your point?
