some day dead space will end

Yeah, the original does go on a bit too long. Once you get used to the scares, the lesser focus on combat/weapons (compared to later games) starts to take its toll. You're just playing it for the story and to finish by this point.

Do you mean Power?

Yes, my b.

fuck , the rubber on my DS4 is peeling off.

Is the Xbone controller any better ?

Did you chew on it? Modern controllers are just not sturdy enough these days, not like they used to be.
Not that I would know that, of course, just what I heard from a friend.

The early DS4's apparently have utter shit built quality, with the sticks practically falling apart after a bit of use. I have one of the later ones (Destiny PS4), and it's held up alright so far.

I have a gray camo DS4 , got it from B&H like a year ago.

The Long Journey Home is a space exploration RPG with echoes of Firefly

That looks quite good, though I'm worried it will end up being more Space Rangers2 than it claims

Even without rubber on my DS4 left stick, I think it's the better gamepad but that's one of those things you just have to try yourself. Xbox One feels clumsy to me and every Xbox One pad I've seen so far is slightly crooked, they don't lay flat on a table. Very robust though and no issues like early DS4 sticks had.

Couple of interesting things in the latest Steam client beta.

1. LAN peer downloading.

There's some initial work there on what looks like a LAN downloading feature. There's now an extra field in the message sent to other Steam clients on the local network (previously used for in-home streaming):

optional uint32 download_lan_peer_group = 16;

Two new console variables and their default values:

@nDownloadLANChunkCacheSizeMB = "128"
@nDownloadLANPeerGroup = "0"

2. Game details page moving to HTML

Currently the game details in the library detail view are rendered by Steam's VGUI system. The layout of that page is specified by the file resource/steamrootdialog_gamespage_details.layout. In the beta, there's a new file steamrootdialog_gamespage_details2.layout which replaces all the VGUI controls with a single web view. There's a new file of localisation strings public/steamhtml_english.txt which contains strings like: "appdetails_tab_friends" "FRIENDS"

My guess would be that the Steam client will now locally generate HTML pages to replace the existing VGUI; if they were generated on the server, there'd be no need to keep the localisation strings in the client. They'd also have to be locally generated so that they'll work properly in offline mode.

I'm a bit puzzled as to what the point of doing this is, though.[

Interesting. I assume it could be that they are adding dynamic content from web, without updating client (even big picture does this for some parts).

I think Steam needs a filter.

 

[Hero Prinny]

but it doesn't actually affect you right? you're not upgrading and whatever system you own will still run whatever they released

if ps 4.5 don't exist you wouldn't really care, just like we did with ps3 with all those games running at poopy framerate/sub hd

pretty much, as long as I can continue to run new games on it I'm perfectly fine. I don't need my games to run on 4k or anything, I don't even have a 4k display anyway. Also i don't need 60fps, all i ask is for a playable framerate and NO SCREEN TEARING! honestly i find screen tearing worse than frame drops, its so damn distracting.

finished dead space

time for dead space 2!

 

[Smash88]

Steam should really let me filter out all those upcoming shitty VR games that are taking valuable spots and clicking time.

dead space 2 is a lot of fun, minus the very last part tho. skip dead space 3, that game is trash, i stopped playing like less than 2 hours in.

I always roll with the

Spoiler

plasma cutter, javelin, and contact beam. The javelin is so fun even if it's not at all practical in most situations. The contact beam does full damage right away, and the upgraded alt is useful for elevators.

 

[uncredited male]

Mecromancer was probably the most fun class for me in Blands 2. Perks with a nice helping of risk/reward and an action skill with great utility make for a fun mix. Probably the best solo class as well. Of course soloing Blands 2 is a gruelling endeavour.

Sadly, Deathtrap turns to shit at UVHM. But with the "close enough" skill Mechro is probably the easiest for a normal run.

Bl1 is really hard to play after 2, like seriously it's rough man.

I could deal if the ammo and money auto-collected.

I want to play KOTOR, but my PC starts making weird noises because of it running at 1000FPS lol

IIRC, Starcraft 2 had no vsync at the main menu and a bunch of people's cards fried beause of it.

Personally I'd swap out the

Javelin Gun for the Ripper. I underestimated the Ripper at first because I was worried about the range but It's an amazing weapon choice and made my Zealot run much easier.

I played through all three Dead Space games through January and February this year and loved them....1>2>>>3

speakin of quantum break I woke up like this

Protag should have been called Hardcastle Thyme.

I find it odd that preorders for quantum break still aren't up. Nor is more info on the whole Xbox one cross buy.

Hell, Killer Instinct launches in like 10 days and we got like no info on that.

I take my hat off to anyone who can manage one than one playthrough of Borderlands let alone multiple. Granted 2 is massively more accommodating for it.

SHUT UP

She just wants you to make her whole. I quite like a lot of the physiological tricks Dead Space 2 does to fuck with the player.

 

[rtcn63]

Make us whole, Isaac.

Just think of it like Diablo with more cutscenes. Of varying degrees of quality.

SHUT UP

is that the end of 1? or is that 2? i can't remember

man i miss dead space, that's probably one of my favorite franchises from the last generation in terms of everything, the very puzzly combat with "mining guns", the diegetic ui stuff, going back and forth bioshock-style in that huge, creepy industrial ship, the awesome armor design

i didn't play dead space 3 and i didn't even like 2 all that much, so it feels like forever since i played it

 

[Anteater]

so this save game in borderlands don't look anywhere close to where I've left off

...

i'm not making excuses

Not much to say, pre-order it on Xbone and get a key within a few days.

http://www.quantumbreak.com/windows10/

Hell, Killer Instinct launches in like 10 days and we got like no info on that.

Run S3 on your Xbone the day it comes out first to make sure your save transfers properly to KI on PC. Comes out the same day as S3, runs at only 60fps (duh), has plenty of resolution options, and that's all I know.

 

[Jawmuncher]

It's still off. They mention retailers are offering the deal as well but no one makes a mention of it

 

[uncredited male]

They are still offering themslves up in that Microsoft thread.

It reminds me of the AI in Dune 2 just sending these lone units to my base to be slaughtered by my turrets.

Windows Store doesn't support preorders.

At least Amazon has it:

Pre-Order Quantum Break and receive Alan Wake’s American Nightmare, the Xbox 360 game playable on Xbox One. In addition, customers who pre-order the digital version will receive the Windows 10 version of the game for free, downloadable at the Windows Store via a redemption code.

The download code for Alan Wake's American Nightmare will be emailed within two days of your order shipping. The redemption code for the Windows 10 version of the game will be delivered via an Xbox Live message 7-10 days post launch.

Dead Rising 3 worth $15? its on sale on steam. I played and loved the first two when they came out but I never had a xbone to play 3.

 

[Salsa]

regardless of it being the worst in the series I think DR3 is worth $15

the character models are great

dunno what that has to do with anything but its one of the first next gen lookin games

Yeah DR3 is definitely worth 15 easily. I actually prefer it to DR2. Since it feels like a sequel more than DR2 did in my eyes.
The biggest complaint is much like DR2 and just how the series went, the time mechanic is less of a focus once again. I played like a typical DR game and had tons of time left on the clock.

It's not bad, but it wasn't enough of a change up for me. Feels more like an expansion than a sequel. I would still recommend it to anyone, was just saying personally .
