Hmm. Maybe double-check if it's downloading to the correct location, and not to a smaller partition or something.

Haha so true. Hey, it may suck but I'm going to check it out. Tis the season for
[shitty?]
did you buy the alpha? which model did you settle on?
Well you have the one button does all Auto Battle which is Press A to do a thing. Or if you want to set it up a level you can press down twice select Techniques then select Libra then select Auto Battle so down, down, A, A to do two things. Or for the really advanced you can got to Abilities by pressing down and then select you attacks which at the start are a little limited. So that's down, A, left., A to do a thing. Bottom line at about Chapter 3 you can level up and then slowly but surely new mechanics and abilities trickle there way into gameplay but Libra then Auto Battle, Auto Battle, Auto Battle... (you get where I'm going with this) serves me good for a very, very long time. Once Paradigms open up a little and then when more roles become available speed and efficiency are the order of the day. So Libra, Auto Battle, Switch Paradigm, Auto Battle, Auto Battle...
Yeah I'm not really selling you on this am I? Boss Battles can get hectic and if you want a challenge don't upgrade Hope as the little shit dies in seconds when fully leveled.

Doing things manually is more efficient in a lot of cases since the auto-battle isn't really spot on with it's selections most of the time.

I was catching up on the news Sunday morning so was reading and not paying attention to what was going on in the game and I swear one fight took about 6 mins when the Target time was about 30 seconds.
I've found the early areas pretty restricted until you have a few more roles to play with and can shift to respective Paradigms to Stagger quickly and deal massive burst damage just using Auto Battle right up until about Chapter 7. Then a teeny bit more thought needs to go into things because of the enemy combos. But you're right, Auto Battle will more than likely chose the wrong commands at the wrong time at least a once a fight, more depending on how long it lasts.
The complaints about the plot of FFXIII are honestly completely overblown. If anything, the story is too simple. For 80% of the game, the plot is some combination of "the military is trying to hunt us down, run for your lives" and "I don't want to die, but I also don't want to destroy everyone and everything I've ever known". The twist late in the game, is pretty much inline with Final Fantasy plots, and really isn't anywhere near as ridiculous as anything in FFVIII (time compression, come on).
It's pacing, characterization, and dialogue where FFXIII really suffers.
But yeah, the music is phenomenal.

has anyone else been having trouble with ds4windows? it doesn't hid the generic controller which makes every game take in 2 inputs, 1 from the generic controller and 1 from the xbox controller. I didn't used to have this problem until just recently. I don't even see the Hide Dualshock option anymore, I'm just assuming it was renamed to "Exclusive mode"
Is there any reason why certain cloud syncs take exponentially longer than others? Almost all of my games sync immediately after I'm done with them, but F1 2013 takes forever, meaning that if I come out of the game to quickly change a setting, and then attempt to reopen it, I can't, until the sync is done.
I mean it's taken me 5 minutes to do this, and right now the upload speed for it is 530 bytes/second. Not kilobytes, bytes. In the same time as it finished syncing, I downloaded the entireity of Don't Starve.
What gives?

pip pip cheerio you slags!
I did, in fact I made a different partition all together to see if that would help. Natta.
Styx is legit. Bit janky (or very janky) but thats expected from Cyanide, but what it does it does well. Game has heart. Stream was fun, thanks for those that watched it.
Im going to stream Evil Within tomorow aswell, so between Alien, Styx and then TEW, I want to stream everything >_>
Also, computer temps are much better now, although Styx isnt the most demanding game.

I'm playing the Japanese dub, and you wouldn''t believe how much simpler the original dialogue is.
I guess the Speedrunners event leaked, although fake and boring so I could just as well announce the real one.
Any number of challengers, if more than 3 enters, then I will split it in 2+ teams.
One win in any official map gives you 1 free random Steam game, no limit to wins.
We will play all official maps once.

There we go. That's what I'm looking for!
I see they went the AssCreed 3 route with the tutorial. Here's a new mechanic, use it for the next 150 battles.
I've actually started a little game called 'how quick can I end this fight'. My fastest is 3 seconds.
Well Styx is an Unreal Engine 3 game so it's pretty much a 2 core workload where as Alien Isolation should take advantage of what you got and spread it's load around what cores you have. What sort of temps were you getting playing Alien Isolation? 90C right? Well let's see if it will cook my PC.
almost tempted with this gmg 25% voucher, I loved the first, and while the second was disapointing, I still played it quite a bit I just didnt do all the dlc or get to the lvl cap
but then I remembered that these games have ridiculous amounts of DLC so for once, Ill just wait for the GOTY edition
75-80º on Alien I believe, 90º was on DR3 (from just 30mins too), both while streaming if that matters. There was deffo something wrong, hell I actually HEAR fans now lol

On my i5-4570 I barely hit 60C. And I only have the stock cooler.
If I had to guess it would be the stream that is causing the extra load for Rhaknar. Unless it was hitting 90C without OBS running.

both with streaming yeah. Styx streaming was around 60-65º

Unless you switched over to NVEnc from x264 in OBS's settings, you're using your CPU to record and stream. And that can make your CPU run pretty hot since it'll be pushed so hard. (But I'd still get it looked at like you said you were gonna)

I know I'm being super slowpoke on this, but Sniper Elite 2 is awesome!!! Now I can't wait to get the 3rd one!
im using x264 because thats what OBS said to use
you say I should change that?

Well here's a brief glimpse at what I get using a 4670k so next to no difference between yours and mine bar some improvements your end.
So running flat out on the GPU side of things I'm not even stressing my CPU and only getting mid 30s with the ambient temperature here in the house at 20-23C. Going for a bonkers 120-160fps which stresses the CPU much more now only moves it a little higher with a high of 46C but realistically it's about 40-42 on average.
Streaming and encoding video on the fly is a lot more demanding that a game on its own let alone the two together but under a full AVX load I don't get above 75C using a pretty standard single tower Phantek heatsink. Might be worth having a look what your temps are under something like AIDA64 or Intel Burn Test (or if you're a masochist like me a OCCT AVX Linpack load). That or ask the guy who put it together to have a look.
Something just happened to my PC. I was just watching YouTube and suddenly there an error that pop up saying something about Explorer.exe
Then it automatically shutdown the PC. Now whenever I press the power button, it turn on, I can hear all the fans running but I dont hear that beep anymore that suppose to whenever I turn on my computer, also nothing appear on my monitor.
Edit: Nevermind. It turned on now. I have no idea what happened. I unplugged the power supply and plug it back in.
I was so scared. I thought my motherboard died.

A friend of me is not sure what system to get this gen. He's deciding between PS4 or a gaming PC. Tomorrow he will come over to check out The Evil Within. It better be well optimized or he will get a pretty bad impression of PC gaming.

if you x264 checked you'll be using your CPUs to capture. NVenc will most likely offer better quality with much better perf.
Reset your bios and see if that turns it over.
And Alpha Kimori, apparently? Started idlemaster to do these two but it popped up Kimori instead, bonus!

That's true to a point.
Majority of people don't know what the hell the falcie and lcie stuff is though. Hell I still don't. The fact that you have to dumb down the story to its most simple factor is pretty bad when there's more on the table.
Love this gif

That is just hideous. Looks like the cover image to some 14-year-old's Deviant Art comic.
I just read the Datalog and now I'm all caught up on the war between Pulse and Cocoon Fal'cie and the hierarchy present on Cocoon. They are obviously holding some stuff back for later, but you can easily understand the background in all of 5 minutes.
Of course, expecting the modern gamer to read or have critical thought is like asking a dog to fly

Personally I still feel you're failing with story if you make anyway have to go out of their way to learn something which is the main focus of the story.

Just finished the story in Mafia II. It was pretty well done, but the missables! What the fuck! Also, open world and story mode don't really mesh. There was no downtime. There were over 125 wanted posters around the city and I think I picked up four. Not sure who's gonna traipse all over town for one measly achievement, but I'm not one of 'em.
