You don't like aliens, dinosaurs, and now Rogue Legacy, too?

"I used to think you were a hero, Alpaca Green. Now... I don't know what to believe anymore."

Well if it make you feel any better. I think all the hype on GAF got me a bit excited for Alien Isolation, and my favorite Power Rangers team was dinosaurs based? :)

Finished Jazzpunk. Except for a very buggy last level where I had to restart tiwce, I liked it. It sucks that I had already seen 2 of the levels beforehand (in the giantbomb quicklook), the game is very short and it helps to go in fresh to experience the gags for the frist time

on the "non-game games" category, I would probably put it...third, bellow Stanley Parable and Gone Home, and above (way above) Dear Esther / 4PM.
 
this is definitely not a copy of Gun Monkeys

If the winner happens to own Gun Monkeys then he/she should also submit it as a mystery game. This can keep going on until someone "loses", like a ModBot version of Hot Potato.

JaseC your avatar is extra cute today

oooh if that thread about the release date of the 800 series is real, I guess im building my new rig this holiday season omnomnom

I'm thinking about getting Yaiba... It can't be as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I just think people are going into this thinking that it's Ninja Gaiden.

also known as Hitman Absolution / Tomb Raider syndrome

Just sitting here. Making a game. With Rules of Nature on repeat.

I would be very curious to see how listening to Rules of Nature on endless loop might influence design decisions during game development. That would make for a great case study.

Edit: Just noticed the post count. So we're going to be done with this thread by the end of the day then aren't we?

Contrary to the thread title, the Sweclockers article actually says November/December. I'm hoping it's the former because, y'know, AssCreed.

I thought the same thing about Lair once upon a time. I learned my lesson: a game's awful reputation exists for a reason.

I assume the i7s something something are still the hotness and will be when these GPUs come out?

If hold off. The game has a 29.99 MSRP now.
So its bound to be 50% off this winter if were lucky.

I've been wanting to buy it as well.

But I think the reason for this game's low scores are because of the Itagaki Ninja Gaiden fans.

As far as CPUs, i5s are still top end. An i7 isn't much of an upgrade as far as gaming goes. That's why one of the previous topic titles went something like "your i5 is still fine".

irresponsible vagina leak
how hard is nightmare mode

There are enemies that would juggle the shit out of you just for kicks.
Also the miniboses with the Nightmare versions of your characters are now 2 instead of 1. Also the final boss has 1 Nightmare version of one of the characters as support.

Haswell-E (next enthusiast line) is due in September and Broadwell (next consumer/non-enthusiast line) by the end of the year, so Q4 looks to be the perfect time to upgrade assuming the 8xx rumours are true and Intel's schedule holds.

how are i5s the top end if you just said i7s are an upgrade (but not much)?

"Your (i5) 2500K is still fine" you mean ;)
It's just that the current gaming i5 is the 4690K, but people always asked if 2500K may be outdated, but no, it's still pretty ok.

Your definition of top end is very narrow if it can't accept more than one item. There isn't just one champion of the gaming world and everything else is not top end.

Top end means top end, high end, high performance. An i5 coupled to a high end GPU is going to run everything maxed at 1080p+ resolution and 60+ fps. The GPU is far more important in terms of performance.

So I played 20 mins of Rogue Shooter an hour ago. Seems like a neat little game. Its essentially a loot driven Doom-like with permadeath. Although death IS permanent, there's a point system that carries over from playthrough to playthrough which unlocks new classes. There is also a perk system (very similar to fallout) where you select 2 perks at the start and gain more as you level up. Here's a breakdown of my impressions:

Pros:
  1. Plays Like Doom
  2. There is a dedicated kick button
  3. Can put FOV up to 180
  4. Borderlands style gun loot
  5. Katanas
  6. Very fast
  7. NO ADS
  8. Graphics look like someone made them in MSPaint

Cons:
  1. Graphics look like someone made them in MSPaint

Overall I'm liking it and will play more in the future.

www.dslreports.com/forum/r28517633-I5-2500K-vs-I7-4770K-Gaming-Benchmarks

An example of how little an i5-2500k versus an i7-4770k means in terms of gaming right now. There are a couple of games where it matters, like Grid 2, but by and large it's practically meaningless.

It's such a negligible difference that if you were thinking about upgrading right now and you had an i5-2500k, the answer would probably be "nah, don't bother; just wait for the next major CPU product line".

yea gives no fucks saoirse is pretty gud

This is "gives no fucks" Saoirse. The photoset would undoubtedly be my favourite thus far if it weren't for the fact that all of the awesome photos are watermarked -- the dress really makes her eyes pop.

I prepared a giveaway but forgot some rules. Would a problem occur with Modbot i try again with the exact same game?

No. The new giveaway would override the old one.

That gameplay sounds amazing.

It took me a moment to realise that "NO ADS" meant "No ADS" and not "No advertisements", haha.
