I'm pretty much predisposed to loving it. Seen part of a Let's Play before, bought the Quadrilogy when it first came out, and geek out for the franchise. I am also somewhat embarrassed to admit that I wrote up a page on A3's development history. I know a lot about the franchise.

Well, had a fantastic night playing Street Fighter V beta, now I'm going to sleep.
Good bye ladies and gentlemen!
PS: obviously left thumb is aching, at least it's not bleeding
I got blisters on my thumb from killer instinct. Shit is the worst.

That's really cool.
And I must be one of few people on GAF that actually likes Alien 3.
Are you playing it with a Dreamcast controller?

speaking of killer instinct, i can't wait for the pc release. I want to use the grudge looking girl, her design is dope as fuck.

Probably one of those xbox medieval torture devices.
Has he ever been "in touch" with reality as far as this stuff goes?

Thumb aching? How do you hurt your thumb on a joystick?
This I agree with you on, 150%. The game looked alright until I saw her and then I thought, "I need to play this NOW!"

The dip the Xbox one analogs have are the worst.
It's a lot of fun. Even if I can't play it fully (I use combo assist). Hisako is pretty cool.
Why are people taking every comment against piracy as an attack against pc gaming?
I don't get why people are getting so upset about this.
Guy should have known that an indie puzzle game would never make enough money to cover 7 years of development time.
His childish crying about piracy made me remove his game from my wish list. I hope he retires and never makes another game so I don't have to hear the loser cry again.

Man I really regret going into that J. Blow piracy thread. Just a whole lot of assinine comments in there. I think a little bit of my brain cells died.

So I bought a 3TB drive
I might be going a little bit overboard...
Don't worry you won't play 5 of them.
Thank god it was locked. Too much stupidity in one place.

Show me the receipts!
Nah, I am just kidding. Glad you got so much space to install stuff though now.
Might try this Sunless Sea in a bit.

Seriously. That second to last post before the thread closed is the real cherry on top. I like to think it's a vocal minority of idiots like any community but sometimes there's so much of the same uninformed sentiment that you have to wonder.
But hey on the plus side it helped fill out my ignore list
I had to force myself to stop playing ROR, because I'd do nothing but play it all day long, incredible game. Just, don't activate the Glass artifact if you're looking for some challenge; that thing completely breaks the game and turns it into a walk in the park.

Goddamn, that is good. Just hook it straight up to my veins. All the atmosphere.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

The detail is insane. I spent a few minutes just walking around the Torrens admiring the detail. Even stuff like a logbook has visible scribblings and stamps in it, and you can actually go to the cockpit to look outside at the starfield.

so, i'm running a 970 + 4670k w/ 8gb DDR3
playing rise of the tomb raider
lowest possible settings on 1080p
still get 30fps drops whenever something happens with the environment, and i still get random drops out of nowhere from 60
going to download new drivers and hope for the best i guess
also: the game is, overall, a bad port - it doesn't even touch the CPU. 1 core? 8 core? same performance.
wait for patches or for at least this to be addressed. it's insane

Do you have any tips to get better at the game? Should I be running to activate the teleporter quickly and start the countdown sequence?
Yes. Explore the shit out of it.
Also, isnt the ship pretty similar to a certain ship from a movie?
How's VRAM usage when it happens? Maybe it's related to the 3.5G thing. Dying Light had annoying drops and stutter until it was patched to work fine on a 970. I kind of regret buying mine when they launched, it already seems outdated and it isn't as futureproof as people made it out to be.
Same setup. Drop textures down to high and the stuttering should clear up.
I think you've slightly misunderstood the two caveats:
1) Another person being in a game you've shared doesn't lock you out of your library; rather, you can still load up anything you want, but as simultaneous access is not allowed, the secondary user will be notified when you launch a game and given a few minutes' warning before they're booted out. The inverse is true, though: secondary users cannot access your games if you're in-game.
2) The owner of the library switching to Offline Mode doesn't disable Family Sharing wholesale; rather, shared libraries are disabled in OM, so secondary users needs to be online to access games that aren't their own. There's nothing preventing the library owner from switching to OM if there's a scheduling clash and a secondary user wants to play something as well.
I still hold some hope that Valve will eventually loosen things a bit and allow concurrent library access, just not for a particular game (e.g. no playing CS:GO with your "family").

did a driver update - helped a lot, but still nowhere near 60fps average on high/medium mix.

Like I said, his views on PC gaming and piracy were fairly common about 8 years ago. And even back then there were good arguments as to why piracy wasn't necessarily the big evil thing that publishers made it out to be. Regardless, in those 8 years, something happened... PC gaming now makes more money than console gaming does. The industry saw that happening and so they stopped whining about piracy and started releasing their games on the PC.
Then you have Blow come and start trumpeting the same tired nonsense like it's 2008. And you just have to look at him and wonder what he's thinking. PC gaming just made him a million dollars in three days and all he can see is how piracy is denying him his future of making games.
For those of us who were around back, it was tiresome to have to deal with the piracy boogeyman and it's especially tiresome now given how much money there is to be made on the PC platform.
Apparently the demand for the beta is rather high so Ubi is limiting access to it. You might need a bit of luck at this point.
Alright settled for 1920x800 with the division because obviously having black bars makes it more cinematic, and have to drop to 50hz since I want some hbao+ and the game feels bad at 30
Finished the first mission and I guess that's the only one in the beta
Leaving the CA on to hide some of the bad IQ.
shit card can't keep up with all these new games

Is the Souls of board games?
AFAIK it was two twitter comments. If he was truly worried about it, he wouldn't be offering a DRM free version.
There's no perfect strategy in Risk Of Rain, really. First of all, drop the difficult to Drizzle, and try to learn your main character traits (for beginners, i'd suggest going with either the Enforcer or Engineer). Learn how to optimize movimentation, what your abilities do and how can you make better use of them during battle, which items are better fit for your character, etc. Then, you should try messing with artifacts, they should give you quite a boost. The Risk Of Rain wiki really helped me with the last part.
The strategy i found to be most successful was : Activating both the Commando and Glass artifacts, choosing the Engineer, and trying to get to the teleporter as fast as I could, while getting items that would increase my HP along the way. Once i got to level 5, which is the second to last level, I'd loop through them a few times, until I got overpowered enough to steamroll through the last boss.

It's two twitter comments someone fluffed out an article out of. Stop creating boogeymen.
yeah i kinda wish i had waited a little bit more but i had to see for myself
i don't mind the game being "just a collection of line puzzles", i just don't like the way they're offered
he runs a pretty cool youtube channel, i recommend subscribing

I don't really want to get dragged into this silliness. I'll also give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you don't know that there are actually several tweets (replies) where he discusses the piracy situation, including this lovely gem. Maybe he's being flippant, maybe he's serious... who knows.
This is the whole point. Who knows.
Twitter is the place where reasonable discussion goes to die.

So, just bought a 4K TV to use as monitor. Any tips on how can I configure it to decrease the imput lag?
And also, what are some must-play in 4K games? All I can think on the top of my head are The Witness, Valkyria Chronicles ans Transistor, all because of the vibrant collors.
Keep in mind I have a i5 3590 and a GTX960, so no "The Witcher 3" or anything like it.
Thanks.

Fair enough, but given he self-published the Witness and Braid on the PC he obviously finds value in the platform so the "Many years have passed and things have changed" argument is off given he put out Braid himself way back and decided to do it again.
