Even quite civilised places for PC and tech talk like Stack or Slashdot can be a real struggle to read through sometimes. I don't think there's a forum or discussion board on the internet that covers PC gaming that doesn't have a bunch of loonies as part of their community. You just have to find one with a lower percentage of is all.
I don't think there's a forum on the internet, period, that doesn't have a bunch of loonies as part of its community.

That's kinda sad, having PCMR being the frontpage for PCgaming for a big amount of people is probably hurting a lot of peoples perception of the platform.
As already here on neogaf you see a lot of people thinking PCMR is how all of PCgaming act.

What's sad is that "PC master race pissing on console peasants" was a joke, not a commandment.

Yeaaaah but they still don't embed without an extension and don't work at all on mobile browsers so sorry gifs (as they are animated pictures not bloody video files) are here to stay for quite some time. If you want mobile users to be able to see your webm's you'd drop the container format and switch to mp4 which pretty much every mobile browser supports, few of which automatically embed them and you can use a whole host of other codecs that can give you less compression artefacts and comparable files sizes.

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
Alice and the overuse of Physx

The actual PhysX implementation is mild compared to the promo video Nvidia released. In the final game, the amount of volumetric fluid is a fraction of what was promised and dynamic terrain destruction was axed entirely save for the short time you spend as Giant Alice.

back to the ignore list with you tizoc

i very much not want a billion random gifs of random crap killing my computer

Considering the attitude of some of the posters in this thread, why wouldn't you think they visit /r/PCMasterRace *religiously*?

well but that poster in particular is pretty ok!

Come on Tizoc, at least give some explanation to the WebMs, 10 random game WebMs is just going to clutter the thread even more.

Look at how Veggie does it.
 
I can't help but wonder if that's a mistake as TF2/Dota 2 items have never intentionally been part of a game's pre-order deal when bought from third-party sites.

That's what I thought as well. Considering we don't know if the GMG Type-0 codes are the "Pre-Purchase" version given by Steam when you buy it directly, I decided to wait until I had the money and buy it directly than from GMG.

Besides, after some of GMG's actions as of late (the Witcher 3 fiasco, Ubisoft supposedly not selling most/all of their games on the storefront), I've been very hesitant to purchase from there. Great customer service be damned.

This is why I browse GAF with embedded images turned off. Really helps my computer's performance.

Right seeing as we're halfway through the month and I haven't seen anyone call dibs on any recommendations yet for next months OP I'm snagging Metal Gear Solid 5 (well I did ask about it earlier in the thread but no one said they claimed it). We also have these games releasing next month that I'm sure some of you are looking forward to:-

Maybe even:-

Also MegaMan Legacy Collection is out in 9 days time and didn't get anything in last months OP so would be ripe for a You May Have Missed write up (if it turns out alright).

I don't think there's a forum on the internet, period, that doesn't have a bunch of loonies as part of its community.

That is very true. And chirst if people think the gaming community get their knickers in a twist over trivial things then they should go check out how self righteous large sections of Mumsnet can get *shudders*.
 
Right seeing as were halfway through the month and I haven't seen anyone call dibs on any recommendations yet

I'll write one for Amnesia: Memories. I think I pretty much have to at this point, considering I'm also going to write a Steam review. The game releases on the 25th, IIRC.

i'm actually most interested in megaman collection but knowing myself i'm probably going to be stuck in the first stage in the first game for years and it would end up being a waste of money

BTW , MGS TPP for the PS4 been leaked somewhere

Is it? Ohh nice (well probably not nice-nice but scary-nice). Look forward to your write up.

MegaMan 1 is pretty easy after a bit of head banging and learning the patterns to levels and bosses. 2 is a teeny bit harder (Metal Man's stage and Willey's castle used to trip me up as a nipper) and 3 kicked my arse to the moon and back as a kid but 4-6 were a bit more on the easier side I found.

Also Nintendo loves to ruin their Special Eds in Europe with USK ratings logos :(

No one knows if this is true, really. Most likely not.

We already established that that's a preorder case and he's purposefully covering up the logo and 5€ price. No idea why the pic is still getting quoted, I mean the thread about it got closed fast and someone was juniored for a reason.

Broforce don't work with my Xbox One gamepad on Windows 10.. on Windows 10, Carol!

Try this, works for a few indie games: http://steamcommunity.com/app/274190/discussions/0/535152276591003876/#c535152511351243061

Though after doing that I had problems in other games, hope MS releases an update.

The PCMasterRace subreddit is lame as fuck sometimes

Still more mature and intelligent than the latest console war thread I read over in Gaming yesterday.

lol those rating logos are terrible for the EU ver

man I couldn't beat those megaman games myself when i was a kid, I used to just watch my friend play those, now I think of it, that's actually pretty weird as I'd go to his house and watch him play megaman because I don't remember myself playing them much

I finished the first megaman x game because of the hadoken secret power up though

The trailer for COH2-British Forces makes me want to drink tea and liberate Europe, and I'm doing half of that already.

Blood Bowl 2 looks great fun too. I've still got a copy of the original board game around here, used to play it at Uni, especially during Super Bowl nights. Getting to play as my beloved Bretonnians should be interesting too.

There's also
All of those look interesting. Act of Aggression looks to be the spiritual successor to Command and Conquer Generals, which was fantastic. Soma's a new horror from the makers of Amnesia, and Armikrog's a stop motion clay animation adventure game from the makers of Earthworm Jim.

Yeah, i read that, but i don't have Microsoft Xbox One Controller driver in the list (and if you choose this driver, it will have problems in some other games). So its seems we need to wait for MS to fix this (and dongle of course!)

Actually, come to think about it, September's loaded with great games. It doesn't help that Shadowrun: Hong Kong and Pillars of Eternity's expansion are coming out in the next few weeks either!

If Capcom don't put out the SFV beta during September, then I might just have a chance to play at least a majority of the games I want.

MGS4 was a chore to play, the cutscenes were too damn long, and at the time I had little time to play. I did it only on weekends and I played like 5-6 hours straight and I think more than half of that shit was cutscenes.
lina-vi2.gif


Spoilers:
The one in europe was the worse one imo. Shadow Moses was cool, if only for the nostalgia and shit.


Easily worst MGS imo.

Played it within two days and I echo the same feelings. Way too much cutscenes compared to others and act 4 is by far the best just because of nostalgia. Still I've been pretty negative about it in the past. Replaying it, it's slightly better than I remember. But still easily the lowest out of all of kojimas Metal Gear Solid games.
I agree it is the worst Metal Gear Solid but the more cutscenes the better in my opinion. Though, I do understand your frustration if your time were limited.

MGS4 was awesome and the best in the series. I've completed it upwards of 20 times, including one as a Big Boss emblem run.
I salute you.

I don't know how much people agree, but I think MGS2 reins as the king of MGS games. Shit was tight.
I agree. Sons of Liberty were a tight ship. It was the one with the best story, though the Oil Platform remains one of the most boring locations in the series.

I think we hold the unpopular opinion of enjoying that game, and I'm not sure why exactly it's so low for most people, either.

Personally it ruined MGS2 for me, and MGS2 stands as the best in the franchise, or maybe just below MGS1. I especially didn't like that Big Boss were still alive and the whole nanomachines explanation.

Are you using Andrex's extension? There's an option for making them load-on-click rather than auto-playing. Unless just embedding them does your computer in.

I actually set it so that it only loads when I click play since the Chrome extension has an option for that.
