I finished Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, overall it was really fun, I found the second half to not be as good as the first but it was still alright. The ending
was kind of silly, that big goofy looking monster that comes out of nowhere was really weird, and the zombies got kind boring to fight towards the end, but I like how they tied some of the stuff from The New Order into this, that was well done.

Apparently Australia also shares the same fate. Actually no, the whole world economy is in turmoil. I am no economy expert but that's what I've heard from the news. USD is on the rise once again.
Rupiah has also fell from 10k to 14k per USD, madness. Even new games average price in my steam store has significantly raise this pas few months. We usually get 540k pricetag for most AAA games, but now they bounced to 700k. A PS4 or nvidia card like 970 is worth more than our average salaries lol. I'm not sure if we can still be gaming next year, we probably have to think about how to keep on living than gaming.
Not just games, everything will stay expensive for years if and when the dollar bounces back. But as soon as it dips....
Hm. Maybe next sale.
It's got a lot of weird...er, implications. Like the game in itself is fine, until you really pay attention to what it is you're doing. The entire theme is out there, though.
Stop depressing me.

Really looking forward to the MGSV trailer coming today, the last Kojima mgs trailer.
Waking up to read about some weird stuff
25 is the new old
Arrested Development sucks
Seinfeld sucks
TBBT compared to Seinfeld

Dreamcast VMS save files working on Steam Grandia 2???
I dunno if being happy that at least the inevitable peer pressure about getting MGSV is somehow limited, or scared shitless right now
I'm gonna pick the second I guess

Now I gotta get One Piece, Gunvolt, Velocity 2X, and MGSV by Sept 1.
I might just skip out on MGSV if all I'm going to miss out on is a movie and a game I already have.
My wife is going to kill me.
I think you need to look at this in a practical sense. Who writes their new engine in this day and age with a spec that been finalised just over 11 years ago? What benefits do you get supporting 1 or 2 other APIs when 80.5% of the Steam hardware survey have a DX11 capable card? If you're making a XO version of your engine you're essentially going to be using DX11 and the same library calls so by adding in support for legacy APIs you're increasing your work therefore increasing your costs. I'm sure if you want to play that game on what's the oldest API that this engine could theoretically run these decompiled NES games then you could got back to DX6 as I think that still works without issue on Win 7 and 8 but come on we need to leave legacy APIs in the past. I'd imagine going forward swapping the renderer to DX12 is going to be an awful lot less work coming from 11 than say 10.1 or 9.0c.

Apparently, some video cards distributors in my country are pulling a shady shit on the MGS V nvidia promo codes. There are lots of reports about people who bought the cards aren't getting their valid codes, because those distributors are actually selling them as the game keys in several online stores (for cheap, of course). Result is, the codes that the consumers got have already been redeemed.
What can the consumers do to overcome this?
Because I know a guy who've already received three different codes and yet to receive the game.

I hope it's as good as the MMZ games at least.

Get a refund and go somewhere else is how I would overcome that. That's ridiculous, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's illegal too.
yeah but then how are we supposed to make driveby posts about how japanese devs are bad at pc ports? huh? cmon dr dogg, think of the shitposters!
I wonder if Nuveem will sell it and if it's region-free if they sell it
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Feels like the collection isn't worth it.

They don't have it yet from what I can tell.
This and Azure Striker Gunvolt would be instantly bought if they showed up on nuuvem without restrictions for NA.
It's different.
But still excellent.
Depends on what makes it "worth" anything to the person buying it.

Refunds would be the definite option. But I think it's their last option, as there aren't many stores that are offering this promo.
Yeah it should be illegal, but it's hard to track them as they're selling the codes in neutral online stores.
Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.
Remember GAF, you're only as old as you feel you are!
Nine out of ten times, its nothing but a giant cringefest.

If you use browser on your phone you get a new steamcommunity mobile beta, which looks pretty slick.

Bypassed, pretty much the same thing, the DRM failed to do its job.
Hahaha well funny you say that as regardless of DX API used Mega Man Legacy Collection only renders in 1920x1080 which for a lot of people will be fine but if you have a monitor with a native resolution higher than that you wont get 1:1 pixel accurate scaling as it'll just resample that at your selected resolution and you get this lovely haziness going on.
That's spot on but...System res 1920x1080 said:
I don't know if you can see but it's already a bit hazy though if you look closely at the edges of text you can see what's going on. Like that in game too.System res 2560x1440 (my monitors native res) said:
So if you want 1:1 pixel scaling use a 1920x1080 monitor (don't know if 1280x720 is vaible but there are next to none of those anyway) or run the game in windowed mode as that just gives you a 1920x1080 bordered window. Oddly even resamples at 3840x2160 which is a multiple of 4 over 1920x1080.

Of course it's different!
I'll take your word for it being excellent! That's what I want to hear.
Any idea what the price could be?

Stupid fucking dungeons that disappear. I just finished the Graveyard in Neptunia 2 and see I cant re-enter it when I am on two routes...

Prepare to play the game half a dozen times to get everything. Always losing my sanity too when I see that I forgot to get something and have to play the story again and again.

Probably the same as the e-shop price: $14.99.
I have no problem with sexuality in games. But what passes for sexuality in games is downright embarrassing. Or, should be downright embarrassing, but it seems gamers clamor for more of it and game developers are proud to discuss how they made the breasts bigger and if you toggle between outfits you can see them jiggle.
Fucking MegaMan! Guess I'm cursed for moving on from a 1920x1080 monitor and I guess those who own anything with a smaller res or different aspect ratio other than 16:9 need to upgrade too. What's really hillarious is that while all the titles are preserved at a 4:3 aspect ratio if you own a 4:3 monitor, well you get this.
That or I'm just being the worlds most picky snob over me pixels not being perfect.

We are definitely not going to get this 'mgo xp boost' day one additional content, right?
Forget the xp boost, what about the box? What about the box!?
Huh? It's just a box.
We get a Steam Box. Perhaps we can scald people
