Come on mate 428 got a good voting %
That shows there is a big interest for it too
Worst case scenario we get 428 later in 2017 and kenka bancho otome in coming months
Tho far kb otome goes this trailer isnt selling me much on the game....

The textures are procedural too...
Think about it as math formulas that generate everything on the fly after set rules but with lots of variables
Also check out Space Engine

Elite Dangerous also has billions of Stars and Planets and is not that big overall data wise

Exactly. Unless Spike Chunsoft are being silly, then they are probably using this to gauge interest in all of the titles in the pool, and not just as a means to select which game, specifically, to go forward with.

Speaking of NMS....is there any info on a preload?
At the end of the day KBO is still a dating sim about high schoolers, which is pretty grody. I guess it's better than middle schoolers like some otaku bait goes for, but I find it very hard to do anything but roll my eyes at anyone that gets passionate about high school waifus / husbandos.
That's also ignoring that it's a spinoff to a series that has never been on Steam either.

That is in a ideal world. It's pretty clear this poll is to convince producers. Basically, we're getting the crappy otome game, it's gonna bomb because half of the people voting just wanted it on Vita (which may not happen) or just because they rallied on Twitter. 428 ain't happening, I set my mind for this. Even for 2017, that's bit too far.
Yes, I know, I'm mad, just gimme a couple of minutes :")
No matter how people want to twist it "You get to fight them !" It's still a dating sim, just with a different twist. Once again, waifus/husbando crap won over :")
Nope. I wouldn't at all be surprised if Sony forbade it given that HG wasn't even allowed to clarify a change it made on its website until days later.
Oh come on, there is a 2% difference.

And 428 is a bigger game to localize. So yes, I guess if KBO underperforms, it'll basically be to them "How can we expect the game which lose 2% to this to overperform it, considering the bigger script".

Played several hours of Battlefield 4's campaign. It's better than BF3 in that regard but not by much. Visuals are the one thing it has going for itself, writing, characters, story, cutscenes, all a mess still. I don't want to believe the same people responsible for BFSC2's campaign did BF3 & BF4 ones. USA the goodie two shoes is also done way too hamfisted and is done one-dimensionally and feels naive at best.
Technically it flanders at the basics. No FOV slider for campaign exclusively, why. Way, waaaay overdone dirt lense effect and bloom to the point of it being a serious detriment to the experience. Have to use Flawless Widescreen to fix basic stuff. Dice's priorities in this regard are a bit messed up.

That's just dumb. Way to throw away the longevity of your hard work down the drain.
I'd agree with you, but I've been going through Katawa Shoujo, and it's a great game.

None of the BF campaigns have been good. Though I will give you that you could at least kinda enjoy Bad Company. 3 and 4 had me questioning a lot of things.

I'm almost certain there was a change in personnel between BC2 and BF3, just by seeing the games.
Really can empathize people saying MP focused games - like BF - should get rid of campaigns altogether when looking at BF3/4. Shame is, with the major backing they have, a worthwhile campaign could be done. It could be done

We have reached to a point in one of the NMS thread that someone asked JaseC whether he owned the game, the answer being obviously yes.
After considering the time I spend reading about NMS, I might just as well try to spend some time actually playing the game tomorrow. I get hyped so easily.

Can a $375 PC play Ryse: Son of Rome? - Budget PC vs Xbox One
Pretty surprised the Potato Masher managed to perform so well on one of the tech showcases on console. Even 60fps or 1440p is manageable.
Throw me in the group who believed consoles could handle much more than comparable PCs in the past. These PM videos are eye-opening. Cheap PCs can be a vastly superior alternative to consoles.

He never did respond to me when I asked why it mattered, and I'm certain he saw the post as he quoted the one directly below it. I was explaining to him that the lack of an MP element is a legitimate gripe for some people and he seemingly attempted to play the "If you haven't bought it, then you can't judge it" card. Perhaps he realised that the question didn't fit the discussion we were having.

I feel that the NMS threads are like a survival game of their own.
- There are several threads of them, all belonging to one game, but still their own entities.
- The thread titles give an indication as to what dangers might lurk in them, but you can't be reall sure as to what you will find. Preparation will only help you to a certain point.
- You jump in, see some nice things, enage with the population.
- But among the valuable discussions and valid feedback to the game, at some point, the dangers will overwhelm. Be it hatred, toxicity. spoilers, fights about what can be misunderstandings, smugness or something similiar.
- And you will just have to test yourself just how long you can stay in, before you feel the need or urge to head back to the surface.

So NMS isn't available until 10 AM MST tomorrow? Or can I use a proxy and download/play it earlier?
That was the plan all along.
The former. It unlocks worldwide at the same time, which is a little annoying as it had region-specific unlock times prior to the release date change.

Well to be fair, LKS would lend itself to KBM very well.

Sounds like TB to me. I don't know why anyone would choose to play LKS with a keyboard, but then again he thought the original game used the pointer for some reason.

I don't know that change in personnel is the main factor in the difference in quality between the Bad Company campaigns and the BF 3 and 4 campaigns. Bad Company was mostly allowed to be it's own thing, as it wasn't really positioned directly against any other games. But for BF 3 and 4 EA was pushing them hard as direct competition to Call of Duty. EA execs were constantly talking about their goal to beat COD in sales, and the marketing campaign was very much targeted at the COD audience. I have no doubt that EA essentially mandated that DICE imitate COD campaigns (and it shows), but that's not really an area that DICE excels, so it was just a bad imitation.
I agree that the games would have been better off as multiplayer only, but the sad reality is BF3 at least would never have gotten the budget it had if EA wasn't trying to take on COD.
They're not really that comparable though. Not like they control the same or are going for similar gameplay. That's like saying he's fine with Abzu but not Call of Duty. Both might be designed for normal controllers, but there's an obvious alternative for LKS that might have improved upon the experience.

They did but couldn't see each other

I think they DIDNT find each other. Not that it matters to me, but clearly there are some gaffers who thought this was an MMO.
Wow, that is then some mastercraft pr-wording.
I´m sure there was an official tweet going around the other day about two people already finding each other. Hmh.
That tweet is why people are annoyed. He recognized that two people "found" each other as in, were on the same planet at the same time, but didn't address the elephant in the room that they couldn't actually see each other.
There was, but again I don't think they ment they could actually see each other, so much as they were able to get to the same place at the same time, which is pretty impressive in a galaxy so large. But it was written in a vague enough way that everyone assumed they ment they saw each other.
That's great.
47% AMD processors, and I was one of them. Too bad that's no longer really an option
2005... I think I had an XP 2500+ back then.
I... think I had a 2000+ around that time. With a Radeon 9800pro.

Why does he wear the mask!?
The funniest reason I saw people giving for why the two couldn't see each other has to be -
"They might've been in the same place, but were they in the same time?"
Like NMS has space and time programmed into the game like that. They'll have just been on different servers

Lol, Activision delivered again, check the price and compare it to the Steam release.
30$ against 20.
They sure like those money for the DRM free edition.

Well, it's $30 on Steam too. But somehow it's 20€ in Europe.
Edit: Other Activision stuff is cheaper in euro too, but not all.
