I expected to be buying that Killer Bundle immediately, but after seeing it I'm going to have to think about it. There's really only three games in the bundle I'm interested in.

saw this in another Mankind Divided thread and figured it would be relevant in here...from someone who played on a review copy

It runs very well on my system, getting around 55-60FPS with little to no drops.

Running this on a GTX 770 with an i5 Processor with Medium Graphics set. As for the HUD you have full customization and can even turn it off, I expect this port to run well since it's being handled by Nixxes.

I have and they work fine on my system but I'm getting around 45-50 FPS on High and 40-45 on Ultra so I chose to go with medium settings.

Speaking of which a user did tell me to post a screen shot of the graphics options and even though I'm under embargo I think it's safe to post these here. The resolutions go all the way up to 4K

Sorry, bro. PONCHO is one of the only games that looks interesting to me, but it also looks like it could make me sick. This should be a fun experiment.
Well, now you're obliged to send me your Steam login info so I can family share the game.

I just had the most bullshit Captcha of all time.

"Please select all of the sandwiches."

Bunch of random pictures. 3 pictures of burgers.

THERE ARE NO FUCKING SANDWICHES.

That is basically "Cunt" in Portuguese, and its as nasty in Portuguese as it is in English (as in, its in the upper echelon of curse words)

Localization can be tricky. So long as the developers themselves aren't Portuguese and releasing a game fully knowing every meaning of the word, you sorta have to let it go. Cona refers to all these things, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cona
 
Killer Bundle moar liek Filler Bundle. Just a few games pique my interests.

Would love to get Sublevel Zero at Chrono but I'm hoping for it to be included in this Monthly Bundle.

Not really a Killer bundle, but still, I can appreciate two games from my wishlist and +6 otherwise.

I consider any bundle with games from my wishlist a killer, no need for uncertainty or hard decisions, you just buy and hope to play some day in the next century or one after that.
And it happens so rarely, really the best bundles those are.
 
Set directly after the events of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, Survive sees the members of Militaires Sans Frontières not killed in that game’s finale transported through wormholes into an alternate universe, where they’re forced to battle a force of crystalline zombies and, it seems, at least one Metal Gear itself.

This sounds kind of amazing.
 
In troubleshooting my black screen flashes when browsing, I found my GPU was underclocked and undervolted. Whoops. I must have done that the first day I installed it without realizing. I think the issues are gone now! What a relief!

...and that's Toom Braider '13 beaten. All in all...meh

The primary plot has Lara going around in circles just to get enough gear to help her progress through the enemy's castle/fortress whatever.
The upgrades didn't feel like they benefited you much, although the weapon upgrades were noticable.

Really this game was designed as if the team had a checklist of things they need to put into the game to pass it off as a AAA game:
Meaningless collectibles- Check
EXP bar that offers meager non-game changing attributes- Check
QTEs for the sake of QTEs despite them being outdated 5 years ago- Check
Various ammo lying around for you to stock up on, uncluding pilfering ASSAULT RIFLE AMMO FROM UNDEAD SAMURAIS- Check

Don't even get me started on how Lara has to freakin' comment on just about EVERYTHING she does or is going to do, or even picks up. Dear Lord woman WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?!

If you want an Uncharted style game, this goes cheap enough that it may satisfy you, though I personally feel that Rice of Toom Braider is the better game, mainly because there you can murder people by making them die in agony with POISON ARROWS, burn them with FIRE ARROWS or blow their face off with EXPLOSIVE ARROWS.

The Bow and Arrow is the one redeeming factor in this new reboot, so if you enjoy flinging arrows at people's faces, it may be the game for you, BUT if you're looking for an actual noteworthy gaming experience or narrative/character experience, there are better games out there.

I started up uplay after so long for that sweet raymans and I thought my PC froze. Nope, just insane lag, apparently uplay uses up the entirely of my CPU or whatever just booting up.

Thanks for the reminder. I didn't run into that problem, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that UPlay now supports Google Authenticator for two factor authentication. Would be nice if Valve would allow that, rather forcing use of their mobile app.
