Since LiS is not coming my way tonight, do I need to interrupt my 81 game list to start Zestiria? Bored trying to get tickets to Star Wars.

LiS Ep 5 impressions (ending spoilers):

Whole dream sequence was a drag, the episode would have been a lot better if it was left out entirely and just went straight to the lighthouse scene. Played both endings, sacrifice Chloe seemed like the "canon" ending.

Apparently Sekai Project is no longer the publisher for Winged Cloud (Sakura games). See this VNDB thread. Also, their statement on Patreon for why they dropped SP:

"We will just release them without sekai. From my personal feeling most of the people at sekai just disagree with our ecchi / hentai games. We where just feeling very awkward working with a company where a lot of people straight out dislike our games. Its really regrettable but they prefere more "serious" storys and many of them just dont like our games."

I think we can replace "more serious storys (sic)" with "actually good stories". :p

Who all's having crashes after the audio warning with Zestiria? Everything I see on the Steam forums says to disable headsets, which I don't even have... this and Dropsy are both fucking failing me...

Edit: Are you kidding? There were new audio drivers specific to this game? Working now on Windows 10, I guess.

I figured this was going to happen after Fantasy and Beach had to go through greenlight while the first two games didn't.

The crases are caused by surround 7.1 incompatibility with the game. Similar case to Life is Strange, I heard.
Set your sound config to 5.1 instead.

Well I have my Star Wars tickets. I could have gone opening night but opted for better seats on Saturday. It's kind of silly how easy it was compared to when I waited in line for Ep. 1. tickets. Biggest problem I had was that movietickets.com was getting hammered so I just used the AMC app on my iPad which had no issues at all.

I suppose I should go watch that trailer now.

My brother had to drive to get tickets for us. Now his gf's mad that she didn't get a ticket.

Lots of screen tearing in Zestiria, even with Vsync on. Maybe it's the downsampling.

So... I checked the local app data for Zestiria and the game was only doing 5k instead of 8K even though GedoSaTo said different. Went back and actually had it run at 8K and I'm getting 20fps now. That sounds more realistic. At 5K it runs at a solid 30 on the 980m

Doesn't look like there's a way to unlock the games framerate by average joe means.

My XCOM isn't running right. Get to the menu and then nothing. Neither controller or mouse will work to start the game. Verifying the game, but I hope this isn't a big mess up.
 
For the first hour or so, the early liner sections aside, Saints Row IV basically looks a lot like a glorified expansion pack for Saints Row The Third. It's really obvious coming directly off of playing Saints Row The Third, there's a lot of heavy asset re-use and not a whole lot of new content has been added. Then you get the super powers and none of that matters.

Saints Row IV is basically Crackdown. I am not doing anything but jumping around, collecting power-up orbs and leveling up my super sprint and super jump. I'm only going to move the campaign forward so I can unlock more abilities so I can get back to collecting more orbs so I can level up my super powers more. This game is absurdly fun.

Also Zestria doesn't run at 30FPS. It runs at 29.

29.2 to be exact.

Also I set the game's refresh to 20 out of curiosity and it moves in slowmotion. It's not the typical low frame rate bullcrap. Setting it to 20 or anything below makes the game run in super slow-mo as it renders ever frame. So I feel even if the game's frame rate is unlocked, there's going to be a lot of sad hopefuls in the end. EVERY animation is tied to game logic from what I've tested. So yeah.

I'm not berating the game. I'm enjoying it. I'm just laying these facts out for the people. If you're waiting for a framerate unlock, I'd hang that up.

Pretty much, a cross between Crackdown and Infamous - a couple of hours in you wonder why there are even cars in the game. I think they smartly removed all the driving-related challenges from SR3 (shortcuts found, drift time, oncoming traffic time, etc.)

irresponsible vagina leak
My ass is messing on Cheat Engine and if I find something to change ToZ framerate to 60 I shall let you all know. I have never done this so someone might beat me to it.
