I actually like it, for several reasons:

I can buy a console with better tech down the line, if I'm going to pay $350bucks I don't want 10 year old hardwares. For people who "don't care" and "can't tell" resolution and framerate, there may now be cheaper (maybe?) older generation/used consoles in the market for them to buy.

Games with crappy performance we got may benefit from the extra power. Although they shouldn't be running crappily in the first place it's still the reality we live in, at least now I can have a choice to run them with better hardware outside of begging the companies to fix it or begging them to release it on PC/Buying/begging for remasters a generation later.

but I'm one of the people who like the idea of steam machines too.

i feel it depends a lot on the "ecosystem" they build with this.

like i know some people enjoy it but i find the neverending stream of new videocards and shit to be super tiring to go through every time i feel the need to upgrade and would hope that's not the model consoles follow

but something like ps4 model 2/3/etc. that releases every 2 or 3 years i think works pretty well

the problem this creates is kind of similar to the pc issue tho, of like who do you develop for? do u develop for model 1 so it runs wel on everything? or model 5 so it looks amazing on the latest hardware? or model 2 since that's the one most people have?

and like i think it's a really shitty situation if they start making games for model 3+ and you as a model 2 get screwed without even being able to tune graphics settings like you would do on pc to make it work

complicated stuff
 
One thing that annoys me about Deadbolt is how melee weapons are supposed to be for stealth-ier attacks but I find actually using a knife or hammer alerts every enemy in close proximity but using a gun doesn't. I understand being alerted if the enemy is in the same room but in surrounding rooms to the left or right? Even above or below? And a shotgun blast does nothing...just, what?

I don't understand the scoring/rating system because improving your rating on a level nets you nothing and how the system works doesn't seem clear. I've had quick runs where I don't die, maybe miss one swing of a melee attack and use a gun twice, non-head shot, where I score lower than a run where I die multiple times, missed multiple times and take longer but get a high score.
 
Any tips on best way to enjoy Dead Rising 2: Off the Record? Never played a Dead Rising before. Want to try and enjoy it for what is unique about it. Off to get some Zombrex now.

Been thinking about replaying Samorost 1 and 2 given that the 3 is out next week. But concerned I'll get burnt out on it.

Well today had the recipe to be an absolute horror show, especially with my boss dumping me with all her work whilst she went swooning off to Cheltenham. But PayPal got their act together and sorted out my balance transfers by lunch, sold more stuff on eBay than I expected to, got some ridiculous guns in The Division that heal me more than the dudes at my level can damage me and to top it all Iain Duncan Smith has resigned his position. Couldn't bloody make it up.

Seen his resignation letter? Spitting hot fire at Osborne, guess he wants to take him out the post referendum leadership race.

Day 2 of my quest for Liadrin.

This dangerously monotonous adventure lulls my mind.
I started having a hard time concentrating myself. I can only write this diary intoxicated with booze, as without it, only a single thought dominates my unfortunate mind.

WoW suckzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz asssssssss
 
If it's taking you two days to hit 20 just for the Hearthstone reward, it's not the game that sucks. Even without heirlooms leveling in WoW is ridiculously fast. You should be out of the starter area and level 5 within 20 minutes. If you're in a log jam quest area, you can easily drop the quest, bypass it and move on. It should only take 2-4 hours to level to 15, the speed depends on you, and from there the dungeon finder opens up and the remaining five levels should fly by.

What race did you pick?

However someone in here should be able to lead you in the right way. I would myself, but to be honest I know just enough to get by really.

Try the tech support and I need a new pc threads.

You don't have to emulate it 100% or at all, but the guys cover some core reasons why they favored certain parts over others when building their "console killer" PC with the target of running games as well or better than you'd get if you bought a PS4.

Cheers lads, will ask in there and check out that video

Got a $20 Steam card today. The FFX-2 fund has been allocated.

Regarding incremental console uprgades I could see it working, but I don't trust any of the current players to do it properly.

EDIT -

I honestly feel bad for laughing at it.

Don't. That shit feeds my soul. I used to wait for the obvious cullings and then try and drop some witty reply in the old GG threads making fun of them.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
You are the camera and just an "observer".

Like that Lakitu from Mario 64.

Man now I want a vr game where you play as lakitu and the goal is to capture as much quality footage as you can during an expert level play through of mario 64

I had no idea my PS+ sub was still active, and I had no idea Galak-Z was free atm in it. Well that sure is better than a kick in the balls

Far Cry Primal on uplay doesn't work for me. I either get a black screen then crash, or I get to the "Warning" screen and crash. Validated files, tried offline, etc.

Fuck you uplay.

Case 2 of Danganronpa completed.

SoGood.gif

The best has yet to come. Case 3 is cool, but got me sighing quite a few times, it requires a lot of mental gymnastics to go through. From Case 4 and on, though, is where things start to get really good. Enjoy!

EDIT: Wait. You're talking about Danganronpa 1, right? So ignore everything i just said.

Blinded by the luminous glory that is David Bowie's physical manifestation.
Block'hood is not what I expected. I expected a SimTower sort of Green-environment simulator. Instead I get a RTS battle-order bullshit while fucking around with the isometric view in Sandbox while trying to build a foundation before building the landscape and requirements and the game bitches because it's "real-time" and wants those requirements otherwise it'll decay/destroy the stuff you build.
