I'm not looking to start a debate but are there advantages to owning an AMD card over an Nvidia card? When I built my PC I bought an AMD card because it was a good deal, looking to upgrade soon and it really seems like I should go the Nvidia route. I really don't have a preference, ideally I'd look in the price range I'm going for and see which performs better but it seems like Nvidia cards have more advantages like games specifically tailored for them.

Since I couldn't quite find anyone responding to you: There isn't really any advantages to AMD cards, no. There is ofcourse Mantle, but the support is scarce and it's not made a big difference in the majority of games. And it's likely to be entirely redundant within a years time as we get closer and closer to a DX12 release.

All I know is that I hope my 780 lasts until Pascal comes out. NVLink, Unified Memory and 3D Samsung memory? Why yes please, Nvidia. Yes puh-lea-suh.
 
psh well this will be their only pc game then. people will do those mods just out of spite, hell, I'd do it out of spite. don't tell me what i can and can't do with something i paid for.

Don't worry! They already made it easy to mod, I suspect you don't even need to mod anything and the materials are even there , you just need to remove some files and you get what you want (Just like some Nvidia tech demos...cough...Dawn...cough).

Street Fighter IV has a fantastic mod community and they still manage to sell costume DLC, so I'm sure DOA5 will manage.

@JaseC - where can I get that elusive Hitman Absolution Sniper Challenge T_T

It's included in all of the game's store subs, so just buy the discounted standard edition. Steam's checkout system will likely say that you already own the game but you should be able to activate the sub if you buy it as a gift.

will do - sigh if only the DLC pack has all those stuff too
 
Thank you Speevy for the XIII-2! :D



As far as I remember, there were nude mods for console version of DOA5 already. I don't remember where did I saw them.

Yes there were so many for the modded Xbox 360.

So, even thought I havn't bought Evolve, it just Preloaded for me....

It is preloading for me too. ANyone tried the mobile game? you can get experience in the main game when playing it.

There was another guy who responded, he did also mention a couple advantages for Nvidia.

I think I'll probably grab an Nvidia card for my upgrade unless I see too good of a deal to pass up on an AMD card.

Found it amusing there's still some English voices missing. If it really was mismatched files, surely they'd have fixed them all? It's almost as if they're still recording them as we speak.
 
I hope persona 5 comes to pc just so you losers can play what will be the best rpg of this gen :p

i don't think everyone here is a loser, just some of you guys... you know who you are

Shadow of Mordor got the DICE GOTY Adventure Award?
GTFO, more like.

shadow of mordor is a fun game but honestly its really not GOTY material. to me it feels like everyone just wanted to give the GOTY award to something "safe" so they just agreed to shadow of mordor.

I don't think it's GOTY award. But I can see why it was nominated at least.

GTFO? :( why so harsh?

Also, my condolences to the poor souls that bought Raven's Cry. it make Watch Dogs and AssCreed:Unity look amazing.

psh come on, who didn't see Raven's Cry being shit? I saw that coming from miles and miles away. anyone who thought otherwise was fooling themselves. Game looks like Risen, that alone should be enough to tell you it wasn't going to be good.

It's <something> of the year, so it should have been AOTY I guess =p

RPG of the year DA:I. Because of course.
Strategy Game of the year is Heartstone? Really?

Moredoors got outstanding achievement in Story and Character.
This bullshit not worth paying attention to, confirmed.

I think the best thing Mordor did was the combat. SO if there was an award for best combat or gameplay. I could see it winning that. But that was about it.

It's certainly a good building step if they ever want to make a sequel though.

I think it's just them surreptitiously reminding people that nude mods exist and thus you should consider buying their game

Is this about nude mods or mods using other companies IP?

Now you said it, I kinda wondering why a company would worry about another company IPs being used by modder into their game. Do they get any repercussion for what modder do? I don't think Bethesda ever give a shit about Miku in Skyrim even on official Steam Workshop.

Story and character? Shadow of Mordor had those things?

Well it's also the overall game of the year and beat two actual adventure games (Hey, Ethan Carter and WOLFAMONGOUS are much closer than fucking Moredoors) for the Adventure category, so anything is possible, I guess.

They released the hunting side missions pack which technically has story elements, but I don't think they've said anything about celebrimbors release date.

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
Since Infamous Second Son was one of the other options (Valiant Hearts was the 5th option), they do, but it's such bullshit.

Destiny won best action game over Wolfenstein, for example.

To be fair, Destiny is great. If you have friends who want to play it. And you can all overlook its flaws.

Either a lot more people on this planet has a Wii U than I previously thought, or there are a lot of Nintendo fans on NeoGAF.. or that GOTY pool is a bit suspicious. 3 out of the top 5 are Wii U games? come on. I know 2014 was a bad year for other AAA games but.. I can't believe that.

It's mainly the fact that everything goes to the same 3 games when there's so many other, better choices in most of these categories is what gets me riled up.

It's basically Shadow of DestinyStone, the circlejerk.



Wait, apparently the overall GOTY is DA:I.
Damn you unreliable twitter reporting =p

I played it with my girlfriend and I didn't think it was great, but she did so she kept hers. :p

Well I don't particularly see anything wrong with it since the games at the top are pretty good.

The Wii U is a dismal marketplace failure, but everything has a thriving fanbase on Neogaf.

Also, big fish, small pond.
