Link? Is that thread about the fake multiplayer? If so yeah, this is basically a single-player game which only needs an internet connection to share the name of planets etc.
Do you imagine Sony requiring Plus to play this? I'd imagine the shitstorm.

Does your tablet have 5ghz wifi ? Otherwise, you can say goodbye to steam in home streaming.
2.4Ghz bluetooth and 2.4Ghz wifi will interfere. You won't be able to play.
I pre-ordered on Humble because the game looks cool to me for what it is, and I believe the PC version will be good.. It's not a pc port, it was being made before sony ever picked it up.. Believe.
also when I say shitshow I don't mean the game but the reaction and the internet brouhaha over it... that alone has been worth my pre-order money

I thought this was already confirmed long ago?
It actually makes me more likely to play NMS, since I generally don't want to have to deal with other people when playing video games (fighting games excepted), but do like games where people leave traces behind. I think the term is massively single player games, no?

I hope No Man's Sky actually has a multiplayer system, but it requires end-game tech to make a portal or something to travel interdimensionally, and SEAN hasn't outright said it because it's a surprise. He did say it'd be very hard to meet up. ???

Finished The Fall. Gameplay was meh, but story, writing, voice acting and atmosphere were all great. I saw the twist coming a mile away tho.
Anyway, looking forward to the 2nd one whenever it comes out.

Yeah pretty amusing. A bunch of people so hooked into hype culture and those threads and then find out all the speculation they were hooked to didn't match reality.
Same boat. As long as the PC version is good, I'll probably get it. I'm not sure if I can justify the price though considering I'd also be using it pretty casually. I might just get it straight away to shut myself up

Yeah pretty sure Gaming side needs to cool down for couple of days, those NMS threads are insane
I mean, the devs themselves said, repeatedly, that you could in rare occasions see another players or their ships. This is not speculation, hype culture or misinformation. This is literally what was said by the devs themselves.

Where though? I recall something about notifying that you were in a place a friend was etc but that was it. They even went into detail about how it would be extremely difficult to synchronise multiple players to the game anyway. Should be noted, that I haven't followed the game anywhere near as closely as others

Thats not HL3
Its another high profile Sony title being reviewed. It's been this way for the past 10 years. Enjoy the shit show.
On a more important note, The International is having an amazing game right now between Newbee and EG.
It has been definitely advertised as a actual thing. Yes, a very light multiplayer experience, that what they told people and what people were expecting. Now, the current issue might be just network connection errors and we will eventually be able to see if the component is there, or it doesn't exist at all and the devs lied. That has nothing to do with misinformation or hype culture, and frankly, I'd expect for people to inform themselves before complaining about misinformation

Well as far as I am concerned the issues of "60fps" is hype culture at its finest, the company were vague, people speculated and stuck with it, then get dissappointed despite people logically concluding it probably wouldn't be so performant. I have definitely seen an article that goes into why it wouldn't be easily possible to have players synchronised in the universe and some mention of a notification system for knowing when a friend has been or is in the same system. If that stuff isn't in anymore, sure my mistake, but I also think the communication has been amazingly poor (especially regarding the PC due to their contractual obligations apparently). People speculated and stuck with it and then complained - see "60fps". I don't know, to me a lot of it has been dubious and marketing-laden with "hype" that I took the stance to wait for the actual product, so I am in no way surprised, as I mentioned weeks ago. Seems the culture of the industry and the players if you ask me ¯\_(ツ

Atleast you can refund on Steam if you dont feel comfortable with your purchase

I mean, there is no speculation whatsoever, once again. Read the quotes again; devs have said that you can, in rare ocasions, see other players ships or suits, even bump into them. This is not speculation and this is not hyped people taking statements out of context. It is literally what has been said by the devs.
Yeah, that's pretty much my reasoning for being able to put money down on some of the games I'm interested in though I generally refuse to pre-order. Not had a problem with the refunds system thus far.
Like I said, if I'm wrong on that then fine, but there is still plenty of that hype nonsense going on in the gaming side for the game and devs communicating poorly at best from my point of view, especially when we are having to discuss this very issue - something not even on the store page
Edit - And more to the point, why are we even taking some random reddit posts as ironclad proof that it isn't in the game. With all the server issues who can even tell with such certainty. It's isn't something I've based my purchase on anyway.

I'm almost tempted to buy DR1 on all 3 platforms. Dunno how else to tell capcom to port the case stories .
Nice. One is VGX which is so far back that I wouldn't even count it, but for the others sure. But as I edited in, why are we even so certain that random reddit posts are iron clad proof, especially considering the server issues? As above, I haven't based my purchase on the idea that I might meet a friend in the game.
Edit - there are also people posting about PS4 trailers being 60fps but the game not being? Last I saw the game looked pretty wonky on the consoles with lots of lod issues, so I assumed 60fps wouldn't happen anyway. Perhaps I just sat out of the gaming side so much that I didn't see any of this happening.
Yeah, not sure on it's current state though. Jim Sterling's vid on it seems to proclaim it as a shit port, which rules it out for me. I'll wait and see if anyone posts about some sort of patch that fixes things up.

Humble BTA isn't that high. Tempting.
This 4X was just announced today and it looks great

The port does need some work unfortunately.
Do you have a monitor that can take advantage of that framerate?

Absolutely. I like how this just happened and they didn't address it at all. The "head rubbing" and "personal brand" parts were hysterical. The kind of banter I usually expect from the noob stream where Pyrion usually resides, but seems they didn't bother with it this year and just upgraded him to the main desk
Wow. Extremely interested! On to the wishlist. Pre-ordered NMS, but still sceptical on it. Will give it an couple of hours before deciding if it is worth the full price. If not I'll refund and save for something like this. What a nice surprise.

Just Cause 3 is pretty fun, it runs great for the most part maxed out but there is some weird stuttering when getting challenges, which apparently is a wide spread problem with one of the later patches? Looks fantastic too, really nice lighting and surprisingly good character models and animations.
EDIT: Also completely lost when it comes to this NVIDIA GeForce Experience and driver utility, gonna have to spend some time tomorrow digging through all the settings.

NMS is the new Lionhead game?
I mean they said it might be rare to see other players but then release a trailer where there are like 5 ships having a dogfight...

There are AI controlled ships all over the place in the game. Were they specifically called out as other players?

Larian posted a Divinity: Original Sin 2 Kickstarter Update, giving a glimpse at character creation and stats, as well as a vow to bring a lot more updates during August.
Looks more like a Settlers-esque RTS/sim thing than a 4X, but looking good nontheless. A Settlers successor has been sorely needed for years, now.
I will admit I was getting all excited over the prospect of a Thea: The Envikening....

The Lionhead comparison is apt for my current predicament. NMS has that same poorly communicated / over hyped presentation, but at the same time seems to be doing a lot of what was promised and is unique. Where it gets questionable is all related to how unknown it is to me. Will I stick with it or get bored, is the gameplay something that will get tedious or tiresome.
Watching a live stream for an hour, I'm less convinced that even as a casual hour a day playing, that it might have the longevity and entertainment to justify the price. Guess I'll have to try it and see or keep watching streams to understand possible progression and whether that maintains interest.

Wrong thread.
However I will say that Northgard game looks pretty good. A departure from the Evoland games the developer made. Looking forward to seeing more.

I swear to god if we lose 428 forever because of fucking KBO I will be so unbelievably pissed.
This is one of those things I've been holding out for a long time for a localization for, right next to Valkyria Chronicles 3 and Mother 3. It's so infuriating to SEE it slipping from my grasp right in front of me because of some dime a dozen dating sim.

I doubt 428 will be put aside just so Spike Chunsoft can release an otome game. I'm too surprised it's winning over 428. However, seeing that the demand is high for 428, Spike Chunsoft is probably wise enough to know it can sell good on Steam. And lately, SC has been making the right moves when it comes to bringing their titles to PC.
