The only thing amazing me is people defending this garbage, actually, but there's a defense force for everything.

Bearded Ryu is totally gonna be the default for the next SF. It almost feels like these were planned as their new looks, but they backed off for whatever reason.

Did not know about settings for specific users. Won't help me though as I've disabled overlay completely until Valve puts the damn option to disable group notifications in-game. No overlay + Afterburner for screens is the way to go to me for now.Turn that stuff off and enable it on select users:
I generally use it on friends I family share with. It's good to see when they sign on.

I'm not entirely sure what you want so i can't really comment on it. If what you want is a full on release from a company that struggles with making those then watching them embrace a more sensible release schedule, one that takes the modern considerations of how the company works and how media is currently distributed in account, should be commended.
It's like the first time in a while where SE has done something that actually makes sense in regards to the handling of their high profile JRPG releases. Having to produce episodes allows for the content to come out sooner, and for them to also make it better from one episode to the next.
Plus, no one is obligated to purchased them piecemeal. One can always wait till they're all out and buy the complete package, like many do with the telltale games for example.
I guess im not super invested in a remake of a game that i've played quite a few times. I always know that FFVII will be there, I would rather see a modern interpretation of it than just the same game. Part of that accounts for modern methods of distribution, too. I'm excited at the notion of an episodic RPG, not turned off by it.

The episodic release replicates the feel of changing discs when you had to rent them one at a time from Blockbuster and you parents only let you rent one game every few months.
Fully agree with you.
Looking forward to see what they end up with.
though I was a bit upset by the decision to split it up to begin with but I think I've gotten over it.
I thought Gigantic was more action-based gameplay with direct control over a character, which isn't really traditional MOBA gameplay.
Yeah, Hot Ryu is pretty fantastic. I guess they need the 'iconic' SF2 designs as a safety net, but I'd take Hot Ryu over his SF2 incarnation every time.
Also, the Chun Li alt costume comes free with pre-orders of SFV on Steam. We just keep on winning.
Didn't expect this.
Germany Now Sony's Largest Euro Market, Gamers Switching from PC to PS4
Shouldn't it be other way around lol? I mean, that's what happened to me. I play a lot on Playstation plattforms still, but PC took over.

Again the term MOBA is nebulous. I guess people just assume everything is similar to Dota/LoL without looking at a shred of gameplay and just immediately pass it off as something they don't want from just hearing "MOBA".
Hah, should have been a Stree Overlord cover instead.

My understanding, and feel free to correct me if im wrong, is that for the longest time the PC market was dominating in Germany due to the aggressive anti-violence stance taken by their regulatory bodies. So, this lent itself well to genres like Adventure games and Simulators getting a ton of traction there as they're low impact in that regard compared to the average console fare, where the FPS and shooters in general have been extremely popular for quite some time now.
Makes sense that it would be a large market for Sony to get into, though. Germany's economy has been very strong for a long while now so cracking it must've been a top priority for Sony.
I'm obviously making some large generalizations here but that's my take on it.

Sony really tried, we had some insane deals on PS4s in the last year.

Wrap it up folks, PC's dead, some German people bought more PS4's than PC's last year, the end times are upon us.
But seriously how do they parse that data, are they presuming that a lost PC gamer is automatically going to PS4? I don't know German so forgive my misunderstanding.
I hope those are the same people that shit on Vita-chan.

There is nothing in the article to back this up, as of now, it's completely made up by the author.
My New Years Resolution is going to be 3440x1440.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, even if it was true the data can be perceived as just market fluctuation and not some sweeping change in platforms of gamers. Even the charts provided show very little fluctuation.
I fail to see the meaning of all those numbers.
How did they get them?
How do you even measure PC (as a platform) units sold (assuming that's what those graph means)?
How do you measure how PC games actually sell (I guess only publishers can get a sum of Steam/Uplay/GMG/etc, and for their games only)?
So in order words, we cannot conclude wherever the PS4 is stronger than PC in Germany or the other way around?

Article doesn't explain anything on how they come to the conclusion. Just a short statement - baseless.
If you go by this graph from the thread then you can see both PC and console lost both market share but still nothing to back up the claim PC people jump ship to PS4. TL
R I don't believe it.Except they have no real sourcing for that suggestion, Sony don't say that either. The data people are throwing around also suggests otherwise

The article was actually more about the fact that Sony's largest market in EU is now Germany instead of UK, I bet the "switching" was just some comment the author threw in to reference Germany's strong PC base. It was never mentioned how many people are switching or what that means for the ranking of the platforms overall, and that wasn't the point. It's not too hard to come to the conclusion that if more people buy PS4s in Germany a non-zero number of people are switching from PC.
The info about the EU market and Sony is actually interesting, but it was easy to spin into console/platform wars, so here we are.

The only thing we can conclude is that people spend more money buying videogames on all consoles combined than on PC.

Holy shit is that a reverse cover or fanart? Cuz if it's the later it needs to be the cover, it's fantastic
Yeah, the only thing I get from this is, that more percentages of the people playing games on their smartphones. Maybe there are not even people jumping ship and just an influx of people who weren't gamers and started to play games on their phones.Article doesn't explain anything on how they come to the conclusion.

It's the cover for a Japanese version of SFV, with all the alternate costumes so far announced. It's cunningly called the HOT! PACKAGE.
No. KOFXIV is though.

Thankfully no.
If it was then we would have to deal with Vita players with horrible wifi.
Hah, see what you did there!
Have you been eyeing any specific screen?I can't wait for the next geforce, with a 970 3440x1440 is unplayable mostly, some games to do work but most dont. Interestingly that game that worked best was Arkham Knight.

no. weirdly enough SFxT was and it was on the same engine as SF4. Even weirder, the only portable legit version of SF4 exists on the 3DS.
I don't know what capcom was smoking when they made these decisions.
I dont foresee SF5 being on any portables since sony isnt doing another one of those ever again

Was looking at a Samsung S34E790C due to being at the time the only VA panel for a 34" 21:9 monitor. Display latency and contrast ratios are better than most too but it comes with a hefty £800 price tag. I'm still holding out for a less garish G-Sync model with a decent panel but unless Acer employs a new monitor designer I doubt that's happening anytime soon. They might perform really well but they look far too 'busy' for my tastes.
