I actually just replaced my CPU fan a little while ago. Apparently my sacrifice didn't please some PC god or whatever.
Can't really blame publishers for wanting to make a quick buck off of game-starved early adopters. I don't think they really fixed bugs in the Sleepy Doges "remaster", just added some visual bells and whistles, and the SRIV one is PS4/XBO only. I don't expect them to change much at all for that release.

About recording, I just found you can use the GPU inside your Core I5/I7 to record your game instead of FPS remover that are shadowplay or AMD PVR.
Few people even know they have a GPU inside their CPU doing nothing ..
I sent my 360 back for red ring twice, I had a DVD drive fail fortunately right before a red ring (I only played XBLA during that time) which otherwise would have been an out of pocket fix, and I had one where the controllers would constantly disconnect that I had to send in.
I'd much rather buy a fan for a few bucks online and replace it myself in 5 minutes than deal with console repairs.

In my experience it looks somewhat worse than Shadowplay does and can drop frames, but it is there, yeah.
Why not twitch?
Where will I get a replacement fan in 5 minutes though? If I can identify what fan it is then okay it's not too bad. The part that sucks is trying to pinpoint the issue. I'm not overly proficient with PC's or anything either.

He switched to Hitbox for the much smaller chat delay.
But then proceeded to not interact with the chat at all. It's kinda funny.
They didnt fix bugs, they actually introduced quite a few that were not in the original release in the first place

I've been fascinated with licensed music in game trailers ever since the stellar Gears' - Mad World clip some years ago.
This latest for Farming Simulator reel is yet another example of a trailer/song pairing you wouldn't expect that somehow just works. I love being surprised by unanticipated results.

After Deus Ex, this seems like a S-E trend.They didnt fix bugs, they actually introduced quite a few that were not in the original release in the first place

But now they can release a new re-release that fixes half those bugs.
And introduces others.
"They're not bugs, they're features!"
Welp lolThey didnt fix bugs, they actually introduced quite a few that were not in the original release in the first place

Is mantle delivering the increased performance promised?
I ask because Thief and Battlefield 4 were technical disasters at release... and I don't want this to happen to Civilization: Beyond Earth.

I guess Grimrock 2 is the first casualty of default region locking for me. The first game was decent (even though I never finished it) but the second one just looks so much better. Too bad it goes into the sale/bundle list for now.

Night of the Rabbit --
The Kobin missions in Blacklist are so much fun, a bit more than Grim's. Nothing more satisfying than Stealth Takedowns and getting nice vibration feedback with the last hit. The lack of grey filter from Conviction is great because the lighting in these games really set the mood. Istanbul has the good ol' headlights on shiny pavement effect from the older titles. The main character is still an impostor, but who cares when his game is this damn good.
Most of them, it's the way of the world I suppose, it was inevitable. Russian traders will be dealing older games from now on. It would be nice if a few indie devs turned the default setting off though.
Still, I can use GMG and other places I guess.

Actually didn't mind the new sam at all.
Loved blacklist though best splinter cell game for me. Actually succeeds in pleasing any type of fan.
I'll say this for Alien Isolation it does something very few games even get close to and that's telling the backstory through the environment organically. Everywhere you look you start trying to piece together what had happened beforehand. Valve are usually very good at this and the last game I played that nailed it was Dead Space 2. I'm still on edge though, slowly poking my head around corners and I've not encountered anything hostile yet
I really liked the ones for Grim. The Kobin ones were alright too but there were eliminate all the dudes though. Charlies ones can fuck right off but the Briggs missions were pretty sweet if you had a coop partner. Considering it runs on a massively modified UE 2.5 base it looks fantastic and has some great AA options along with lots of little graphics tweaks to fiddle with.

That's true, it gives you all the tools and options to play your way and it's a-ok with me -- ghost representin'. It doesn't water everything down or drastically change the formula like other games that end up alienating the more dedicated fanbase.
Even with HBAO+ enabled it runs just fine on my AMD card, which makes me like Ubi a little bit more than naught.
because hitbox has alot less delay, but then again im not really interacting with anyone so the delay would be fine. I just had OBS setup for hitbox from yesterday and didnt want to change it

No graphics options?
brb, going to the pits of hell(Steam forums).
I'm guessing the preorder bundle is going to be a regular thing with them from now on. Can't say as I mind, really.

Between the low starting prices, the numerous bundles and Steam sales, you're saying that Indie devs need to sell their games even cheaper?

I'm noticing one BIG issue with Evil Within and it's that there are no invincibility frame.
I shouldn't be punished by getting hit for saving a AI or for a enemy swinging a torch at the bottom of the stairs when I'm climbing at the top.

? There are graphics options...
They don't improve the framerate sadly. I keep getting it going from 30-60 FPS inrequently

Bought Contrast yesterday and finished it today- as you can see it's pretty short. Most of the puzzles are pretty straight-forward and there was only one part where I got stumped for a bit. The game has zero replayability but there some achievements that can be missed. It has no graphics options other than "low, medium, high" presets and the ability to change the resolution. It's has a nice aesthetic and was worth the key I paid for it.
Am I being a dunce and missing resolution oe graphics options? I only saw control and gamma.
