AMD has been better at computing scenarios for long time.
Yeah they do, not sure if it affects this as other games using DX12 + Async Compute have performed worse on Nvidia too. (eg. Ashes of Singularity)

Good job, game is pretty good despite some glitches (I managed to fall through the world lol).

What I like about it is that it eschews this modern trend of "snap on" mechanics with stealth traversal. There's a fair bit of jumping that is closer to platforming as opposed to AssCreed fluid moving where you have to try hard to fuck up.
What I didn't like was just how punishing getting caught is. It's clearly a scenario of me needing to git gud, but the party function is so hit and miss (mostly miss) that you're essentially screwed. No checkpoints means no progress saved. There are only so many times you can replay the same first parts of a level before it loses the charm of being a hard game and starts getting tedious.
It may get easier later with upgrades.
I find that quicksave is great in the game. You can quicksave everywhere (unless you get found out and attacked) which works a lot better than a checkpoint system. There are also the autosaves which can get quickloaded.

Almost.

There are quicksaves!?
Face, meet Palm.
The gameplay is fantastic. This solves my only complaints.

I'll wait and see just how much of a difference DX12 makes in Hitman. The Beta ran better for me on PC than it did on PS4 but it still had its rough moments. Since I have an AMD card (290X) I'm really interested to see how this all plays out with DX12.
Would need to disable frame buffer effects and soft shadows in the ini for Kotor 1, but KotOR should be perfectly fine
Alright, I installed it, but no servers are working. Ugh.
I get this message:
Made me laugh a little.
I've been on the receiving end of that here and there. Changing servers and/or protocols typically does the trick.
I'd also make sure the network adapter installed properly.
I started playing Eryi's Action. Wow, this game is unforgiving, everything is trying to kill you, even when you start playing the game it kills you directly. Why would they make such a game where there is nowhere to be safe?

The character creator seems to be the best part of that game.
Yep. F5-F9 to quicksave/quickload.
As others have said, they should just sell their character creator to other companies.

I fucking love this game. It's one of the most fun platformers I have ever played. I love how it thinks of new ways to screw toy over and in response the player has to be just as Clever. It's especially nice since it never gets too ridiculous in what you need to do. I only recall ever eating stuck at one part.
If you don't want it I'll take it. The wait is too much.

I would like to try the creator, but even that is region locked.
One thing I noticed installing Steam app: sometimes if you access your badge page, trading card section suffers a delay not showing up immediately.
Also if I access the same page, often I get the "verifying your login access" page for a second.
None of them happened before installing this app.
Am I the only one?

The people in the OT seems to be loving the game past the character creator, although they seem to be loving it for aspects that I generally don't like, like no fast travel (even UO had fast travel and I consider it still the best sandbox MMO around).
They also seems to be excited because they see a lot of people in the game world, which is a weird thing to be excited about... that's always the case in early MMO days, everyone is around leveling, skilling, chilling and whatnot.
Anyways, people playing it seem to be loving the game. Wish I managed to grab a guest pass from the begging thread to try it out and see where I'd stand in regard to it being a good or bad MMO.

Some junk I acquired and actually played rather than acquired and idled:
Heroes & Legends Conquerors of Kolhar - yeah if you got that indiegala phoenix bundle this is not the reason you bought it. So it is a lane based RPG where characters auto attack their given lane, there is abilities with cooldowns and level-ups have that annoying ding sound. Problem is the same dev made something called QuestRun which this is basically an easier retooling of. Was a slight chore to 100% achievements as the games pace is a bit on the slow side, especially in the challenge stages. Also I 100%d the game before all 4 trading cards had dropped and people tell me there is nothing wrong with trading card drop rates. Highlight: I was able to kill the final boss with an instant kill ability (then in the final challenge found how unfair it could be with summoning adds that can instantly kill you and being able to fully heal itself)
Island Defence - Crummy tower defence *groan*. The windowed option doesn't work, it is a blatant clone of Kingdom Rush (a game I find pretty meh) down some stage layouts being identical, oh and it has ridiculous costs for basic things (including unlocking the ability to upgrade towers...that how to be done for each tower and each level, I can see why the achievements really fell off for those ones) as a remains of being a mobile port. The dev had this to say about being a clone:

I don't get the analogy. If you were something to do with the Kingdom Rush dev, sure or if you had used one of those boy bands that tried to be The Beetles in the same epoch rather than another band member, sure.John Lennon reminds me Paul McCartney a lot.
I love both of them!

Those look great man.
You can thank me later.
Actually you can probably thank that one guy who wrote an injector for 13 and 13-2 to bypass that issue and detailed the actual reason the problems were occurring. I only brought that information to the MS Answers thread which somehow seemed to summon a MS game compatibility guy in there.

I liked the game at first but man, it traumatized me. Everywhere you go, something just kills you. I think the menu screen isn't safe. Only beat 4 levels and a boss before shelving it.
I loved this game. Funny, challenging, and doesn't overstay its welcome.I started playing Eryi's Action. Wow, this game is unforgiving, everything is trying to kill you, even when you start playing the game it kills you directly. Why would they make such a game where there is nowhere to be safe?

Nah that'd be Mortal Kombat.
If peeps hadn't kept praising MK's story mode which resulted in Capcom going for that, we'd have a generic arcade mode and single player modes.
Isn't La Mulana the platformer version of Dark Souls
The intro stage kills you, it seems that you always start with stage when you start the game. I am the 3rd stage, which is a boss stage.
We can hope...
That video released earlier (today?) from the closed off presentation on TGS 2015 really made me want the game even more.
Been the same story with me for ages. I asked a few people and they said same as Messiah - glitch. I know it can't be because of rage-quit stuff, because I've only ever played 1 ranked match. And I lost it. Soooooo. They're aware of the bug, though.
Disagree. Really enjoying SFV in comparison to what I played of MKX, even with the bugs and such. It's mainly battle lounges that are problematic for me, and it's a hit/miss deal. Somedays it's great. Somedays it isn't. I managed perfectly fine games with corrosivefrost, InfiniteNine, and Leafhopper. Maybe a bit of lag to start, then it was smooth on my end. But then with some people from AndroidGAF, I've experienced incredible lag despite their also being in NA.
I suffer most with ExoSoul. That EU-NA connection is not pretty most days.
E: If they keep their promise and we get our update next week, I'll be pretty happy with Capcom.

Maybe if DS3 performs crazy well on PC.

You need something better. Baseball nail bat isn't really great for boss fights later on. Still is doable with sucky resources. A pistol and some sort of sword can help.
DS3 is a different publisher and there are already enough similar products to determine Ni-Oh's success.
DS3 is guaranteed to perform very well on PC.
