[Mr. Doop]

Let me install AKIBA'S TRIP now.

You're a creepy weirdo.

Spoiler

I'm mad jealous.

 

[rtcn63]

The title is a play on Akiba Strip right? Since you strip people... in Akihabara... for reasons

 

[lashman]

rejoice

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

rejoice

Awwww yeah.

 

[PandaPedinte]

rejoice

That's nice

 

[Jawmuncher]

"Can't say I care about this"

Best dialog choice ever

 

[Vazra]

Congrats ;D

Congrats on game number 663!

Congrats on stealing my copy of the game :'(

Spoiler

Just kidding. I have a bunch of games to play through before I can consider getting anymore.

You're a creepy weirdo.

Spoiler

Thanks everyone. The game looks odd and 30fps limit kinda sucks but the game is fun from the 30 minutes I played of it.

 

[zkylon]

Didn't know it. That's great, then.

Anyway, AMD just released a driver for Witcher 3.

oh amd does this too

didn't know

gives me a bit of faith in buying an amd card

 

[Chairmanchuck]

The cheapest to buy Akiba is directly from Steam, right?

As of right now, I think it's the only place where you can buy a Steam copy of the game.

It's not as bad as you've heard. They released a driver for DA:Inquisition and GTA V as well earlier.
If you're on a high end card with crossfire, it's true that you'll be stuck until a new driver arrives for a particular game. Other than that, you'll be fine.
Anyway, people ended up rolling back their "Witcher 3 ready" Nvidia driver due to crashes.

 

[lashman]

well then ...

 

[MMBosstones86]

Witcher 3 so good. Even on high settings its gorgeous. Wish I had it on Steam but GoG had better deal ):

GoG didn't have a better deal last summer.

Based Russian Bear.

Thanks. I am just wondering whether I can buy it now or it will be in the Steamsale in a few days.

I remember quite often some games that were released shortly before a Steamsale still got great discounts during the sale.

The Beta drivers always have problems with videoplayback though. Every time I install one of those beta drivers, whether it was when I had my 6870 or my 280x and I start a video sometimes, it shows "The driver had to be restarted".

 

[shockdude]

well then ...

Eh. Not the worst thing since online open world racers are good in theory, but it's unfortunate to have no option of offline.

 

[MUnited83]

well then ...

Most Wanted had great friend and multiplayer integration and didn't need a mandatory online connection ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Atraveller]

well then ...

Bomba confirmed.

 

[ExoSoul]

well then ...

Need for Speed Most Wanted 2012 was nice...

 

[texhnolyze]

well then ...

The game's now officialy out of my care list.

Just take your time.
The more you wait, the cheaper the cards will be.

Never had that issue, I rarely watch video on my PC though.

 

[rtcn63]

[lashman]

oh, here's an even better one

 

[def sim]

Dang EA don't give a fuck.

 

[Atraveller]

EA really is the expert of killing off major franchises.

 

[didamangi]

If it's locked at 30fps like NFS Rivals I'm gonna lose my shit.

Spoiler

Not really, but it'll be pretty funny and sad if it's true.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

After half a year:

"Here is your Offline Patch."

I'd probably lose my shit if I still cared about NFS at this point... I do hope the new one is good, though.

 

[Mr. Doop]

What if I have no friends?

 

[texhnolyze]

After half a year:

"Here is your Offline Patch."

"and 75% off."

 

[lashman]

What if I have no friends?

you can buy some as DLC .... only $99.99 each - best deal!!

 

[Atraveller]

After half a year:

"Here is your Offline Patch."

It's not even generating outrage yet, that's how much people care about NFS right now.

 

[Vazra]

What if I have no friends?

You can play online without people showing in your narrative making it a forever alone story.

 

[rtcn63]

What if I have no friends?

Then your narrative experience will be sparse and EA promises to send you a card for your next birthday.

 

[Dog Problems]

I think you are thinking of Card Hunter, which is quite good, and came out a few years ago. This hasn't come out yet, and looks like it has lifted Card Hunter's aesthetic.

Ah, you're right. My bad.

 

[ExoSoul]

[Jawmuncher]

Online only? Didn't the crew do that and fail?

They're getting sloppy, they used the same method to kill off Command & Conquer

 

[Tesseract]

Any impressions of Serpent in the Staglands http://store.steampowered.com/app/335120 ? All these old school style RPGs man

i just bought the gog version, will post impressions once i reach 10 hours (or so) of play

any In Verbis Virtus impressions? for those unaware, you use your voice to cast spells. no handholding, lots of exploration

 

[didamangi]

Hope they get rid of that unskippable 5-10 minutes intro/tutorial that explains every little thing to you that plagues the series ever since the Burnout devs take over.

It's a racing game. Put up one screen explaining the controls and shit and just let me race for Pete's sake.

Offline Friends Pack - $9.99

Offline season pass $20

Thanks for the heads up, tex! Now to give PCars another whirl. The game was performing piss poorly with any number of cars on the track. Seems Witcher 3 started out in much better shape.

 

[Vazra]

Online Friends Pack - 4.99$

Too low and not enough options
Online Starter Friend Pack $9.99
Online Friends Pack $14.99

From the book of Morningbus:

I no longer trust Criterion to treat me like a sentient creature anymore. Their games are fun, but usually require you to sit in front of an unskippable tutorial on breathing, blinking, and the rudimentary concepts of what a videogame is.

If a caveman were thawed out of some ice, I'd plop him in front of a Criterion game as I'm pretty sure it'd bring him up to speed on the last 40,000 years of human endeavor.

 

[MMBosstones86]

wait....people play NfS games for the story?

whoa.

 

[Jawmuncher]

wait....people play NfS games for the story?

No. But this is trying to make that a big deal. Online only is dumb. Whatever system they have in place I bet could be done offline. It's like they didn't learn from the sim city fiasco.

 

[rtcn63]

NFS Hot Pursuit and Underground were pretty decent yo

 

[alr1ght]

It's rumored Mirror's Edge 2 is only online and open world too.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=162815398#post162815398

- Part of this open world environment includes a persistent, “always online” component. The open world is considered a multiplayer “playground” where other plays can drop-in/drop-out seamlessly, freely choosing their level of interaction with other players and the game world. A comparison to Journey‘s online feature was given as the closest example.

hah hah
