Isn't that the whole point of these comparisons? To give the kids "arguments" to use on their "civilised discussions" about the "console with the better performance"?
I don't know the Need For Speed thread gave me a real good chuckle at the extent some of the mental gymnastics that folks will go to make their box of toys seem worthwhile. Asphalt gate is serious business!
You would hope that comparing the tech and differences between versions would be an educational and informed environment but 99% of the posters in those threads are fucking clueless. Then again what do expect when using the language like 'Face-Off' and 'Outlet vs Game' it's setting up a competition where there has to be a winner. The level of technical discussion in those threads (despite what some people think they know) is close to zero and filled with assumptions for the most part.
There is something weird with some textures in the second picture. I mean, some stuff look more blurry when they are closer in the second picture than when they are farther in the first one.

Backs of the SpaceVenture Kickstarter should be getting a Steam key for this.

And apparently i get better connection from NW Africa and South Korea than any other country in Europe.
Edit 2: new GeForce Driver for Fallout guys.

Why is PC gaming still considered.. I don't know, hardcore? I went to Gamestop last week to take advantage of the 4 for $10 deal they had and picked up some 360 Kinect games I'd been waiting to drop in price and when the guy saw me buying Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, he thought I was buying it for Xbox One 360 emulation.
When I told him I was mostly gaming on PC, it was like voodoo. Kind of weird that PC gaming has never been more accessible and yet there is still this stigma

A new mod lets you remove the Alien from Alien: Isolation (or really, just lock it in a vent but whatever) so you can wonder around freely.

Was not aware of this. That Steam Icon artwork is great.
That's neat, already beat it once, so it's not like I'd be missing out from a first experience with this
when I reinstall the game in 2017

thats kinda cool actually
I think there are a number of reasons for this. First and foremost, there isn't any single company (or group of companies) that advertise for the PC "brand". Gaming on PC back in they day was a major hassle and that type of image takes a long time to change.
Second, the initial monetary outlay upfront is generally higher. You could probably build a gaming PC for around the same money as a PS4 that would do about equivalent performance, but there's no obvious, singular package that you can get off the shelf so you'd have to know what you're doing somewhat. You don't need that knowledge with consoles, you just buy a box and hook it up (and wait for a bunch of patches).
And even then, you still generally have to know more stuff because things tend to go wrong more. Things go wrong on consoles a lot these days, but all you can do is just wait for a patch. With a PC, everyone else could be running GAME X fine and yours could be jacked, and then you can either hope for a patch that may never come, or seek out which of the 7 layers of things could be breaking it (hardware, OS, driver, game version, additional software, etc.). I think most people like knowing that if something breaks, they have a specific direction to point their finger and scream, rather than wondering if it's their own stuff or not. Of course, that type of system variance holds many advantages too.
I'll say that I like the way PC gaming is now and wouldn't want it to change much. It's just easy enough to hop into with very little issue, but extensible enough that I can manipulate my games how I (mostly) see fit. Any more streamlined and much would probably be lost or locked out. Much more extensible, and, well...i'd rather not be looking up IRQ ordering.
Paradox: There have not been enough games set in the World of Darkness.
Interesting interview over at RPS. I'm a little disappointed to hear that they want to bring the two worlds, old and new, together, as I imagine that the new world will be the bigger lower in any merge. Nothing concrete announced yet but it's good to see Paradox's passion for the setting.

Apparently they need you to confirm it with your Facebook account?
Cool. Was on my wishlist anyway.
No. I just put in an email, nothing else.

I was surprised to see a lot of praise for the story but then I remembered Fallout 3 got a lot of that as well
Hopefully I'll be surprised on that aspect.
i just hope it's an rpg
i really like the world of darkness ruleset, it worked so well in bloodlines

That's cause browser remembers your facebook login.
It asked me to log on to facebook regardless. Used a fake account that I use for any of this spammy stuff

Funstock Digital has been in "maintenance" mode all morning. Is that so they can have an excuse to not send us our keys today like they said they would?

I remember 14 yr old me being completely entranced by Fallout 3's main quest. I only just recently started to realize how utterly trash whole story was. Still doesn't tarnish my memory of how much I enjoyed that game.
As long as there's a decent smattering of well written side quests I'll be fine.
Bethesda main quests are hilariously bad. I remember laughing out loud at the ending of Skyrim's MQ.
I should probably just play Skyrim while waiting for FO4 to go on sale.
new vegas is a very good videogame

Finished the main story of Arkham Knight (and some of the side missions). Kinda shame that the game launched in such a bad shape, because the main story (the story itself, not necessarily all of the gameplay itself) is really enjoyable and the gameplay is a bit repetitive at worst and very fun at best.
I have some side missions to do for
, screw Riddler trophies though.
If you have a decent rig (I am running on 4760K and a 970), the game is in a more than a playable state right now. Some stuttering can be expected, but mostly it's a 60FPS/1080p all the time and on parts where it dips to 50's or low 40's it doesn't even matter. I can see why people wouldn't want to give their money to WB after what they did, but anyway it was a really good game.

Same here. These last couple weeks of the semester are going to kill all my free time. Plus i kinda want that sweet dota announcer bonus
Did you? It's Fallout, everyone was bound to give it 9 and 10s no matter how bad it actually is.

Will be great if you can't sleep.
I dont care about the numbers? im talking about what people are saying
surprisingly decent writing and cool memorable characters, none of which was really showcased before the game was out
An RPG would be great, but a Crusader Kings style game where you engage in vampiric politics across cities and countries would be fantastic and play to Paradox's strengths. Really, I'll be excited for whatever they bring out.
Precisely. The game could brick 75% of all consoles and the reviewers would still be going 'just ignore the bugs! you can pick up trash and move it around and it'll still be where you moved it when you come back 50 hours later'
Personally, I have zero faith in Bethesda ever putting out decent writing or characters. Nor do I have any faith in game reviewers identifying good writing even if I went and shoved Planescape: Torment in their faces.
