It's on sale for $10 until the 19th?

Screw waiting for the sale. That IS a sale.

They should as there is only like 1100 playing right now
lol.

Titanfall 2 is not far from that either. Second day in a row I'm seeing ~1800 concurrent global population. I wonder if it would have done better by being on Steam. Probably not since the population is kind of shit on all platforms (friend told me it was 11k concurrent on PS4 yesterday).

Wait, there's a chance the old Transformers games will be delisted as well soon?

There's always a chance with licensed games from Activision. And if they go they'll probably all go together... not just the old ones.

Licenced Property, Activision, they are all 80% off 1 week before the start of the sale and the year is almost over. I'm not saying they are being taken off steam but all indications are that if you were interested now might be the time, better early than never.

I think a Fire Emblem-style game is on Steam now?



Girl Power Roles, y'all. You know that you cannot resist it.

It is always so hard to evalueate whether these are worth something or not when SRPGs have that aesthethic. Even when people say they are good they are often bad. And not just the writing.

I love the genre but i'm also picky.

Posted this in the Oxenfree |OT| but it's dead and I got no answers:

I'm in NG+ so to get the "good ending"
(breaking the time loop at the end)
what do I need to do?
Just obeying whatever the Alex from the other timeline says to me about Jonas' mom, Clarissa... etc.?
Or is there something else?

Could anybody here help me please? Thanks!

As someone who beat it once, I didn't read the spoiler but
is the game's ending always the same in the first run
?

It seems buying or activating a game/piece of software now updates the unlock time of the game collector badge, bringing it to the front of your recently unlocked badges. The previous behaviour made more sense as the badge itself doesn't change until the next milestone has been reached.

I don't know if you can get the better ending on your first run but I don't think it's possible. I want to get it on my second run because I won't play the game for a third time (even if I miss an achievement)

Guess I'll better bite on Platinums Transformers game soon then.

Are Activisions other Transformers games actually worth playing now?

War and Fall of Cybertron are the best games the franchise has ever had. That High Moon was sent to die on Deadpool and then turned into a CoD map factory so we never got a third is a crying shame.

Anyone rocking a Logitech G502?
It's currently 40% off on Amazon and I am kinda tempted.

I bought a G402 to replace an MX518. It's been great. I'm not a fan of the 502's design, but I can't imagine that it's functionally worse than its predecessor.

I have a G502. It has some good customisation, like multiple mouse sensitivity levels, that I really like. And you can turn off the glowing lights which is a godsend. It's been good to me.

Protip: If the mousewheel is loose, just click in the button right behind it and it will "lock in." It took me too long to realise that is how it worked.

Got the SE surprise hoping for one of those: Just Cause 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Lara Croft Go or Dragon Quest Heroes.

Lara Croft Go and DQH are possible candidates but the other 2... I don't think so (I wish Rise was there but I'm not hopeful).

So NieR: Automata is 900p on regular PS4 and 1080p on PS4 Pro with improved shadows, god-rays and maybe textures from what i was able to see on that LQ stream.

I guess no 1440p/4K support on PC then. But let's hope for good optimization and some graphics options...

The game is being developed with the PC in mind. It's not going to be locked to 1080p. Even FFXIII-2 launched with arbitrary resolution support.

If we can't scale resolution i doubt we'll get much in graphics options. That's the easiest one to implement.

Well that's what it sounded like when they were talking about the PC version few weeks ago.

They said that they want to give same or similar experience to all the players and it sounded like PC version will not have any improvements compared to the PS4 version.

Looks interesting, but hard to tell how the gameplay holds up. Also, it reminds me of that gameplay trailer I once saw where a girl has a puppet of some kind and they switch girl-trope modes, like tsundere mode or dominatrix mode. I forget what it's called, but it sure wasn't Fire Emblem...

For you.

When they say improvements i'm pretty sure they mean better textures and extra effects, not if it supports arbitrary resolution or not.

What's up with Nier Automata on PC anyway? I witnessed the release date to-and-fro but did anything come out of it? Or still TBA?

That's actually not true. They strictly said that game will be 1080p/60fps, and that they won't allow changing the resolution or fps. Also they added that they are considering releasing "low specs" version of the game on PC. Tho. i am not 100% sure what that even means, i guess they were talking about version of the game that looks even worse than PS4 version??

But sure, things can always change during the development.

It wasn't explicitly stated. I think you'll find that Nirolak's post is accurate -- the game won't be resolution-locked but may be framerate-locked and offer little in the way of graphics settings. It makes absolutely zero sense to restrict the rendering resolution of a 3D game, especially one that is being developed for PC and consoles concurrently.
