The majority of owners will still be on the older, cheaper models. It would be in developer's best interest to cater to those owners.

Yea, having a target on the low end and just having better IQ for the newer models isn't a bad situation.

Additionally there are a lot of people that have one console and not the other. So this is a good opportunity for the people who have PS4s and don't like PC gaming to buy an X1.5

Yes, but...what's the point on having a powerfull system, than?
If it's optional (and for now, it seems so), why devs should spend money in order to provide a better version of those games for the Neo/Skorpio/whatever?
Otherwise, why spending money in order to optimize the game to run on the weaker system?

Dunno, this thing seems a mess with no sense, for me.

Do you want to launch a new console?
Ok, do it, implement backward compatibility but at least the new device will be powerful enough to offer a totally different (or almost) performance.

looks nice, but I'm not optimistic about the battery life, it should have a 4000mah at least.

Kinda neat, specially like the plentiful USB ports but they cheaped out on the battery size.
I want the one with 4 GB RAM.

The Z8300 is nice but it's pretty weak. I have too many tablets/media players in my house, I would get it but I'm gonna pass. $110 + shipping (whatever that is) is a really good price for a very versatile device. Being able to use it as a PMP or docked machine is actually really cool.

But I gotta skip. Too many devices in my house that already serve those functions.

Edit: It's also unfortunate it's not Android N, as the multi-window mode in Android N is dope.

You don't.

I'm leaning toward that option since after Indie Gala applies taxes the cost of the bundle will be a bit too high, expecially considering they're games I will never play.

Maybe? You can probably make a good chunk of it back in steam wallet if you idle the cards.

That would be my main reason to buy it, except that with the new regulations about the mobile authenticator selling stuff on the market is a huge hassle.

...yeah, I will probably save my money.

Let me counter that with this...

Civ 6 is probably the closest thing there is left on PC, and gaming in general for me, that [I]could be[/I] a killer app and would make me build a new pc to play. I dislike the new artstyle immensely--it looks like a mobile game--so the systems and gameplay improvements better be absolutely amazing.



I'll believe it when I see a game played on the largest map with the most amount of players and city-states possible in the modern era. That would be nice though.[/QUOTE]

oh wow, that I call dedication! do you play anything else? just curious

as for Civ6 artstyle, if a game is good, we'll get used to it, I've read some of their justification of that look and on some improvements they plan to implement, it sounded not bad at all.

Is Quantum Break PC repaired now? I kind of want to try it but not full price for a technical disaster. Was really looking forward to it and was not expecting this kind of technical turd from Remedy.

Why do Sakura girls have shiny boobs? They should have those looked at. I don't think that's normal.
I'm married, I saw some in real life once.

oh yeah i'm forgetting tracer, but still the rest is still just skins
Click to expand...
yea but actually, $20 for that many skins isn't so bad

individual league skins regularly go for $8 (although there's a lot of sales so it's kind of steam like about it, you don't buy things that aren't on sale unless you're desperate to get them) but they also have like WAY higher quality than overwatch's

like, i wouldn't say don't buy cos the skins look cool and u get stuff for the other games, but i didn't buy it cos i don't play the other games and i only care about tracer's and i'm not gonna pay 20 bucks for a single skin

20 dollars for skins you don't ever really see yourself and they're not that great. I'd only buy the origin edition if I played heroes of the storm because that's the only real big addition from it honestly.

Is there an easy way to get steam overlay in overwatch yet? I checked a while back and had to make scripts and shit and I was too lazy. I keep wanting to press shift tab to talk to my friends but can't and it's annoying.
