I know i'll at least get a hour in Witcher. Since Life is Strange will be 8PM at the earliest, and I got to bed around 10pm.

It'll be released at 5:00PM here, so I should have plenty of time to run through Ep 3 tonight. The previous two took me about 2ish hours each.

 

[Parsnip]

Looks disgusting.




For real though, looks like we won't need a grass mod this time.

Yeah depending on when it hits will be a factor for me. Since I want to play it all in one go.

my eyes are bleeding.

Well I don't use Shop on the machine much so I've got someone else's presets loaded and the nudges are a bit larger than I thought so it's a tad on the extreme side.

*pukes*

H-Ha! Dare taken!

Hahaha. I wonder how many peeps you'll turn nauseous just by your avi?

Forgot that back in the day Jim Sterling gave Witcher 2 a 6 out of 10.
http://www.destructoid.com/review-the-witcher-2-assassins-of-kings-201752.phtml
Don't really care for numbers but his final paragraph there sums up my feelings for that.

However he is playing 3 right now and saying he is enjoying it far more than 2 already, so that should hopefully stand for me as well.

Lel, so about the Xbox Ones dynamic resolution scaling in WItcher 3, DF only found the menus and cutscenes to be rendered in 1080p, everything else is 900p.

I thought they said it was going to be 900p years ago. DF can't really test the entire game world and I don't really see why it matters if the game mostly runs at 900p and sometimes higher during certain sections.

It's still quite a downgrade from the initial footage. People complaining about the downgrade aren't saying that the game looks like shit. It actually looks pretty darn good. But nothing close to the level of the 2013 footage.

Another way to look at it is that people are getting one of the best looking open worlds in what seems to be an amazingly good game but instead of being excited they are stuck on all of 12 minutes of footage released in the past three years and saying it's ruined and what not.

LiS Episode 3: And She Called Out a Warrening

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Obscure 2 is a masterpiece of trash gaming, but it's not "so bad, so good", it stops on "so bad" phase. I'm having fun with it, gameplay side is pretty much the same of Obscure 1, but the plot is insanely bad that I'm having serious fun following it just to discover new low points. Something like

Spoiler

one of the main character from Obscure 1 turns bad because he has nothing better to do, he kills the girlfriend of one of his friend by stumping her head, no one give a fuck and all characters continue joking like nothing happened. Also Shannon killed her brother but hey, it's not so important so why not start a flirt with the other dude from O1? Also during the beginning of the game one dude told me to drink his piss, because...he was pissed? Monsters started to pop out but no one is astonished, during the intro cutscene those dudes sniffed some...flowers like a drug, just because they are young and they need to have fun.

ok, that's next in my backlog then XD

Gamesradar interview with Phil Spencer on the future of XBO and Windows 10

Gamesradar interview with Phil Spencer on the future of XBO and Windows 10

Wrap it up folks. Sounds like no steam to me

Windows 10’s unified Store promotes crossplatform apps and games. Where do you see it in relation to Steam?

I think Steam’s great, and they have a lot of my money – a large part of my games library is in Steam. Steam is very much a gamer’s store, but I think our Windows Store will start off with a diversity of content like the App Store or Google Play. I think there are enough gaming customers to go round, and I don’t expect anybody’s going to delete their Steam account when they buy a game in the Windows Store and vice versa. If you’re an Xbox developer, there are some tools that we’re providing that allow you to seamlessly move from Xbox to PC – Xbox Live and the Universal App Platform will be helpful for those guys. I love what Steam is doing – Valve is an innovative company, and I don’t think the world’s going to dissolve down to one retailer, either on the high street or digitally.

There was talk of some extra mechanism for importing the save, but I don't think that was ever verified, if that's what you mean.

After the disaster that was GFWL and how they handled it with regards to external publishers I don't think there will be a sane one that will touch them exclusively. They might self publish from now on solely on the Windows Store a bit like EA and Origin but any third party considering doing an Windows Store exclusive runs the risk of leaving a lot of money on the table.

Hi guys, long time no see!
Last time I came here was during Christmas sales I think...
And I see Akiba's Trip will be finally out soon!
How are these NIS/XSEED PC ports usually? Should wait for a patch or two before getting it? Will my PC be enough for it?

Here is my current configuration :

- Intel C2Q 9400
- 8 GB RAM
- AMD R9 270X 2 GB RAM
- Sandisk SSD 256 GB Hard Drive for Windows and games
- Seagate 1 TB Hard Drive for data
- Iiyama 27" 1920*1200 monitor

I think I bought this machine in 2008/2009 and I only added the SSD drive like two years ago and changed the graphic card last year.
Believe it or not, every game I play run smooth and fast at the max specs with the highest resolution available with no overclocking what so ever ^^
Well, I must confess I play mostly multi platform games, as I own no home console.

I upgraded to Windows 10, but for the moment I haven't played a game yet, but I was wondering, are the AMD drivers provided by Windows 10 enough for gaming (mostly Steam), or should I get the ones from the AMD website?
If the second option is the one, should I choose the 8/8.1 drivers? Last time I checked there was no Windows 10 specific one.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Ooooh LiS has a 342.4mb update.

 

[Terra_Ex]

There was talk of some extra mechanism for importing the save, but I don't think that was ever verified, if that's what you mean.

I hope the import will at least tell us what the state of the world is, Witcher 2 could import a save but it was pure guesswork knowing what choices you made in said save. They've said it skips the choice scene completely if you use an imported save, which if the game also fails to tell you up front about your W2 choices, seems to be a glaring oversight.

You currently just have to play the waiting game. No one has hands on with the port yet, so we don't really know. Though I can't recall anything bad from Xseed thus far. If it's a good port I can say that the recommended specs on the page are probably exaggerated though. So I would say your PC should be fine.
As for drivers Windows 10 might have just automatically grabbed the 8/8.1 drivers. If anything I would leave them be until you run into a issue.

I have a suspicion it'll be the same story, considering the questionnaire they have at the beginning of W3. Decisions are already made. Still, I'm with you on that hope.

Sunset Overdrive could happen, GoW I kind of doubt, and MCC maybe after Halo 5 releases.

I dunno about MCC. 343i gave up on its issues to focus on 5 to begin with -- "For all your troubles, here. Play Halo 5 multiplayer if you played MCC before Dec 17. We're sorry."

The only thing that matters is Killer Instinct and if/how/when it comes to PC.

After the disaster that was GFWL and how they handled it with regards to external publishers I don't think there will be a sane one that will touch them exclusively. They might self publish from now on solely on the Windows Store a bit like EA and Origin but any third party considering doing an Windows Store exclusive runs the risk of leaving a lot of money on the table.

I think you're right -- most indie games and AAA games these days start on PC, and then loop in a console when they're approached or as it makes sense to do so. So MS properties seem like the most likely candidates to actually use the service.
