There is a update summary in the OT. (I'm on mobile so I can't link to it or the thread discussing it, sorry.)



Overhaul update for D:OS that will bring it to the 2.0 iteration.

Oh I misread it as they working on a sequel.

I only saw the update from 1/30 in the OT, is that the one you are referring to?

 

[Sarcasm]

So my thought about LastPass:

+UI is great
+its fast
+TWO STEP OH YEAHHHHH
+auto log out

- (probably me just being OLD) saves this stuff on a server!

I was about to try 1password before this but saw all the shoutouts to LP. Dunno if I want to try 1P now (or take time)


Also got chrome set to keep til closed cookies...and this is fine and all except the fact that betterttv settings get erased. How do I add that to exceptions (since I need a site...)

I need a new avatar. A picture of me as Fester Addams isn't cutting it anymore.

 

[fantomena]

If I compared Bloodborne to Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2, those games would be trash.

I have yet to write my review of the game, but it will easy be a GOTY contender for me.

Though I suspect "trash" might be a little hyperbolic, the review scores are in line with what you're saying as easy GOTY candidate. And you were pretty big on the Souls games, if I recall, so the hype here is reaching a boiling point for me.

Meanwhile, I still haven't gotten a shipment notification, but it's totally my fault for waiting until yesterday morning to impulsively preorder it.

 

[Stallion Free]

I think I'll wait about 6 months before I take any opinion stating that Bloodborne makes Dark Souls 1 trash seriously.

My hype will reach a boiling point when it's announced for Steam.

You know how it is, neogaf with its honeymoons.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

My hype will reach a boiling point when it's announced for Steam.

It's a Sony IP, they funded development and are the publisher.

Only way anyone will play it on a PC is if it's added to PSNow and PSNow starts expanding onto other platforms. Otherwise, it ain't happening.

Does the game have anything on the level of O&S or Anor Londo/Sens Fotress?

 

[Baron_Calamity]

EDIT: Like, what are your tastes?

Mostly 70s and 80s pop culture. Either a toy or something like Baron Samedi from Live and Let Die.

That cinematic framerate though... And load times comparable to Atari XL/Commodore 64 tape games

 

[The_Super_Inframan]

Steam keys for Ironcast Kickstarter backers have been sent!

And the game is playable now, so no need to wait for the 26th.

If only all great Kickstarted games that release on the 26th would do this... *stares at Pillars of Eternity*

 

[PandaPedinte]

I'm just missing one page to complete the Book of the Dead on Castle in the Darkness, but the whole section to get it on Torture Chambers is pure masochism.

Nice

 

[fantomena]

Not sure yet, game is insanely big.

Well, you either have the option to play the game at 30 fps or not at all. Pick your choice.

Baron Samedi, huh?

 

[Grief.exe]

Stockholm Syndrome

 

[fantomena]

And it's not a demanding game. I played the Alpha from a friend, there was nothing too demanding here, the framerate was choppy as hell. Has that been fixed on final version of the game?

Choppy as hell? I disagree, game was fully playable in alpha.

 

[derExperte]

I think I'll wait about 6 months before I take any opinion stating that Bloodborne makes Dark Souls 1 trash seriously.

Why wait? Let's laugh now.

Choppy as hell? I disagree, game was fully playable in alpha.

GTAV oldgen was playable too while being choppy as hell.

Security guru Steve Gibson

I'm not saying he's wrong in this case but Gibson is not a security guru and it's a good idea to take everything he says with a grain of salt.

 

[Abomination]

So my thought about LastPass:

Security guru Steve Gibson greenlights LP on the Security Now show, listen to the podcast (start listening 60 minutes in). LP uses a double encryption for the passwords stored on the servers. Even LP employee's can not decrypt your vault if they wanted to

 

[fantomena]

Stockholm Syndrome

Well, it's the truth. Game is not coming to PC, and until the devs patch the game to icnrease the framerate, the only option you have to play the game is to play it at 30 fps.

 

[dex3108]

I must say that Limelight for Android is really good now and it supports Steam (you can use Steam Big Picture mode on phone/tablet without starting any game). Latency is really low and streaming works without issues on my Nexus 7.

 

[fantomena]

I think I'll wait about 6 months before I take any opinion stating that Bloodborne makes Dark Souls 1 trash seriously.

Well you haven't played the game as far as I know, which I have.

Playable yes, with a lot of stuttering too.

Well yeah, it was an alpha.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Fuck knows what this thread is going to be like when Uncharted 4 comes out.

 

[Stallion Free]

Fuck knows what this thread is going to be like when Uncharted 4 comes out.

At least it won't be for another year with the delay and all.

 

[TheAutomator]

please steam gaf, you are better than this

 

[MMBosstones86]

Well you haven't played the game as far as I know, which I have.

...but Dark Souls is basically GOTF.

And Bloodborne makes it look like trash?

I doubt it.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Is it true Bloodborne is ten hours long?

the first 10 hours are 10 hours long.

the game itself appears to be about the same length as a typical souls game, +40 hours on your first playthrough.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Is it true Bloodborne is ten hours long?

and full of QTE's. It's the worst.

 

[shockdude]

Carving through the backlog. Currently playing Metal Gear Rising Revengeance. It's fantastic, mind blowing, everyone should play it, etc.
I actually already beat but I beat it on normal, so I'm blasting though it on hard before starting the DLCs.

 

[Vazra]

Is it true Bloodborne is ten hours long?

Also true that it has less weapons and armors than Dark Souls 1 and 2 and it reuses some animations from said games? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Dr Dogg]

At least it won't be for another year with the delay and all.

Zing! Saying that we're all a little affected by these delays the last couple of years. Would be nice if pubs would announce stuff until you know, when the dev team are on the homeward stretch but you know how it is, 'Get hype!' and all that.

So now you need a SSD to load the game faster? 25% is just massive.

Who knew?

 

[Arthea]

can we actually leave bloodborn out of this thread? I know we talk about everything, I'm just kindly asking

 

[derExperte]

And it's not a demanding game. I played the Alpha from a friend, there was nothing too demanding here, the framerate was choppy as hell. Has that been fixed on final version of the game?

Well the article talks about the framerate in length.

Its sub-30fps frame-rate drops may be infrequent, but on close analysis the bigger issue here is in its frame-pacing. As it turns out, From Software's implementation of a 30fps cap means that, as promised, we do get an average refresh at that number near-constantly throughout Yarnham city. The problem? As we've seen with the launch builds of Need for Speed: Rivals and Destiny, an incorrect ordering of frames can cause a nasty stuttering to motion.

Though its 30fps average is technically correct, Bloodborne often produces two unique frames followed by two duplicates - rather than one after another - creating a perception of frame-rate drops throughout. It's not smooth in motion at all as a result, and frame-time updates swing erratically between 16ms and 66ms - and sometimes higher.

 

[Stallion Free]

Also true that it has less weapons and armors than Dark Souls 1 and 2 and it reuses some animations from said games? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

That would explain why the first boss has an uncannily similar moveset to Manus (minus the dark magic spells).

 

[derExperte]

Yeah, but 25% is a huge difference.

For an SSD? No really, more like the expected minimum. Note that they're reduced 'by' and not 'to' 25%.

 

[Uzzy]

Also true that it has less weapons and armors than Dark Souls 1 and 2 and it reuses some animations from said games? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

That A-Team magic.

 

[Sarcasm]

It also uses some of the same sounds.

everyone speaking about Bloodborne ? good

[Freedom = $1.05]

I remember someone on GAF posted a comparation between Killzone Shadow Fall with a HDD and a SSD, but the gap wasn't so huge.

it's a bandwidth issue. It ended up being that hybrid drives were the best option as you had the advantages that the small ssd partition provides with the space and pricing that comes along with the mechanical HDD partition. The difference between a hybrid drive and a SSD on the PS4 are so small that getting a big SSD for your system seems really wasteful.

but i'm also saying this in the Steam/PC thread, where some of you crazies have SLI 980s and 7 SSDs hooked up together so that you can play your favorite anime games at top speed.
