Oh well, some more waiting.

I'll delay playing Cold Steel a bit more than, i'd rather play in a chronological order, whenever that is.

Most of them yes. Some take DDR3. Don't know why that would be the reason to switch though, differences are barely measurable.

The prices are different :(

DDR4 was so much more expensive than 3 when I switched mobos/procs. I could only justify buying a measily 16 gb. If I had been getting ddr4 I definitely would have tried for 64 or at least 32 bare minimum.

How is toukiden kiwami on pc? I know theres a frame cap but just overall the game etc.

Im torn between buying that or dragon age inqui

The game worked perfectly for me on win7 64bit, but I read that it used to crash on Win8 (not sure if this got fixed). The game itself is fun and 30 fps cap aside I didn't have performance problems, although it isn't exactly a 60€ worth kind of game. The portable roots in the game design can be felt with the small zones but the action kinda makes up for it.

Actually pretty surprised with this. One month long ban was what people got for quoting a post some months ago.

We got 3 weeks.

Huh huh what did shadownet do? Can somebody like me please?


It's quite the read. I don't think he meant anything bad by it. Just really poor word choice and analagous argument to very different cases.
He isn't even black or white, either, right? So.

SpaceChem has been giving me issues on OSX. Says I have to install something externally. I installed it. I try opening the game. Then again it tells me I need to install this thing. Probably because of El Capitan beta, but it's frustrating.

Geez, that was an unfortunate thread, but the responses made Shadownet sound worse. I get tired of people in OT jumping to the worst possible interpretation of people's statements sometimes. Everything's a dog whistle or a strawman.


LOL Bernardo took Shadownet to school.

lol bandrama

Are you people still playing Rocket League? I played through the tutorials and a league season yesterday, seems pretty damn awesome

Anybody wanna hook up for some games tonight? I'm afraid I've missed out on all the action during the launch hype since I was afk all summer long. Noob alert though, be prepared to facepalm

dang metro redux looks much more impressive than wolfenstein the new order interms of quality/performance

saying this because both games are 1080/60 on consoles

You guys probably already heard about this, but.

God damn, Microsoft and the cross buy only being DLC and the like, rather than full games. I think, if the games were cross buy, they could probably see a growing support from the pc gaming community, but no one wants to buy something twice for a load more than the average steam game on sale.
 
There's been a couple times where I've notice prominent STEAM GAF members making absolutely asinine threads/posts on OT. I don't know if there's any correlation between using STEAM/being in this community and having a flawed outlook on various aspects of life, but I just wanted to send out an open request to everyone here to please put more thought into what you post on GAF about non-STEAM issues.

No kidding. That was an asinine thread. Regardless, I hope Shadow learned his lesson.
 
GAF hyperbole as usual
Naw, all it takes is 2 seconds to realize that his comparisons are either naive in their most harmless terms or incredibly racist if you read between the lines and strip him of the benefit of the doubt.

he would follow up examples and explanations brought to him with his own anecdotes and continue to try and defend his horrible opinion instead of hearing out the people trying to appeal to him in a reasonable (and frankly too patient) manner. just reeked of someone seeking affirmation of their awful views instead of seeking to inform him or herself about a subject and, thus, better themself and hopefully those around them in the process.

But I digress. Hopefully he'll come out the other end a better person or at least if he continues to keep his views to not voice them if they're going to continue to be of the ill informed and fear mongering variety.

I have finished Her Story today and I really like the game. There have been about three ahah moments in which things click together, and a lot of thinking and reading afterwards.

"Her Story" spoiler stuff

i dunno, maybe her different personalities are like costumes she wears, like the blonde wig and stuff and that extends to the bruises, tattoo, etc. there's a physical thing that accompanies the personality change, and she goes through it "deliberately", it's just part of the process of shifting personalities

also my other big theory is this being like a big con thing she created to avoid prison. just like a very elaborate insanity plead heh

Actually, there are a lot of little details supporting each theory, I suggest going through some in the spoiler thread:

Not really, no.
Edit:Freedom's post puts it better than I would have. This was not a unfortunate misunderstanding by GAF hyperbole at all.

Not a misunderstanding, but I think a lot of people took it in a vein he didn't mean it in. Yeah, Freedom put it pretty well, as did you in your post in that thread. I think Shadow got led to believe that that is something that's rampant and it isn't.


We should probably stop stinking up Steam thread with this talk though.

LOL, I think I've had more people message me on steam today than i have in the past year. I'm poplar you guise.

I don't understand any of the Shadownet stuff going on currently but fuck it, I should go play a game. Really, I should but I won't. Maybe I should complete Ground Zeroes, or move on in Mafia II.

Daily Magicite 66% off

The last boss was hard? I was playing on Uber and all I did was
use all the grenade launcher pistol shots I had saved up on him and he died after like ten of them in the mouth. I didn't know the boss had actual encounter design. I just ducked behind a wall and popped up and shoved hot grenade flares into the mouth.

I didn't play on uber and
I had to basically empty my entire arsenal into its shitty mouth. Grenades, rockets, guns... all of them "hit", but it just didn't fucking go down until after like 20 minutes of shooting and dodging arms and zombies.

Also, Ittle Two. Yes, no?

Ittle Deux, obviously.

Ground Zeroes is a relatively short title, story wise. I got it free on One, finished within about 3 hours. Not even an attempted speed run.

Are you just not feeling playing a game right now? That's the predicament I'm in. I installed a good part of my library recently but can't bring myself to launch any.

I'm surprised there's no third The Darkness game yet. It seemed pretty fun and different.

Because the game flopped very badly. Less than 1 million sales on all 3 platforms in the first year. They even had to cancel the dlc they were working on. Quite a shame.

I'm kind of feeling like this all the time.
Just sold all of my consoles and only have the PS3 and PS4 left alongside my PC.

Do you have to beat XCOM on a certain difficulty to get an ending or does it always just end after that short cutscene?


Just asking cuz the devs said for XCOM 2 that
we lose in EU/EW so I'm wondering what the hell cuz I sure didn't lose

I think they mean that
if you managed to triumph in the end in Enemy Unknown, that isn't canon and will be ignored in this game.
