Dusk Golem
A 21st Century Rockefeller
Bought this game as a halloween game or something. But I didn't like Corpse Party that much so I'm just looking for disappointment.
And this just made me realize the digital artbook and soundtrack are pretty cheap so you really aren't saving that much by pre-ordering.
You'll be glad to know Yomawari and Corpse Party don't have much in common. In fact, I'm wondering where you got the idea, "I didn't like Corpse Party, so now I don't think I'll like Yomawari?"

Pros of VR:
- Now there are fewer fucking minecraft block world games on Steam
Cons of VR:
- Now every game is a short indie horror room explorer with Unity default assets.

Uh, that still sounds like a load of bullshit to me. He keeps acting in the interview like any mention of a "problematic" theme in games gets people offended right off the bat. It's completely ok to have things as sexual abuse, torture or anything of the sort in games; what bothers most people is when writers just do that for shocking purposes, without any intent to explore it further (which, and I admit I'm talking out of my ass here, seems a lot like what he's doing on the new game). It's kinda like in Game of Thrones, where one of the main characters is raped on screen, and the show does nothing with it; doesn't try to explore the consequences of sexual harassment, or how the character develops because of that, it's an event that only occurs for shocking the audience, and people have all the right to be offended by that, because rape is too serious of an issue to just be dropped like that. So yeah, if he thinks people are wrong to feel like that, he can go fuck himself.
And, either way, someone who uses "social justice warriors" unironically can't be a good guy, lol.
don't forget about the indie physics sandboxes and joke games

Was expecting something in VR, disappointed
Also, the PSVR Batman game being 45 minutes long for $20 is hilarious.
That's what I thought, I was kinda confused.
honestly brian's being really fair here since he says he recognized "ripple patterns" and stuff, just that he doesn't make the game with them in mind, which is imo a bit irresponsible but at least he's not denying it
i think writers and designers should pause and think before inserting sensitive topics in their game for sure
i mean, they should pause and think before doing anything that's going in the game, but if you're getting into a sensitive subject you should maybe be extra careful that you're doing right by the subject matter and approaching it with the seriousness it deserves
if you're gonna do anything half assed don't do it, but that's even worse if it's a sensitive subject, and videogames have historically half assed topics like race, rape, gender violence, depiction of non american cultures, etc.
there's a rape scene in hotline miami 2 that's really tame compared to everything else in the game, lasts 1 second, is skippable and affects the story or the depiction of its characters in no meaningful way
it's the perfect definition of half assed, it's a scene that's reduced only to it being offensive because of the subject matter portrayed, nothing about it is important or meaningful, it's just garbage. that kind of scene shouldn't be in the game, it serves no purpose while being potentially damaging to a number of people that's probably larger than you think
analogue: a hate story (maybe it was the sequel, hate plus, can't remember) is a game in which rape and gender violence is an integral part of its story, it's treated with care and respect but can also be very graphical (as much as you can be with words) and descriptive, its own rape scene is very disturbing and unpleasant, but because it's treated as such and it's given the care it needs it actually means something and is probably one of the best parts in the game. it's no surprise this game is actually written by a woman
so have this stuff in ur game if u want, just don't be a total shit about it
ultimately if you're a writer or a designer it's your job to put good content in front of me, and if you thought it was cool to put that shitty hotline miami 2 rape scene in front of me then you have failed at your job

any suggestions on how to fix steam from being stuck on 0bytes download for over an hour?

WOW what a big update!
I can't believe Valve is putting in this much work.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Cool, thanks. Thankfully it appears Enhanced Steam still works.

I see that fallout 4 is on sale, i don't see why Fallout 4 is on sale.

It's just amazing that the base game is still cheaper than the season pass.

I forgot to say it yesterday but, I am nearing the end of Aragami. Chapter 12 is pretty poorly designed.

The missions are really repetitive, All I can think of while playing is how I could finish the errands as fast as possible to get to the next story moment.
I definitely got my money's worth out of it. Really enjoyed the story (Donovan is a great sidekick) and the soundtrack was amazing. But there were way too many bugs and freezes. I still recommend it, but get it when it's on sale.
And this game has the worst pop-ins and LoD range ever.

This kills me. If there's any Open World style I absolutely hate it's that. Makes me even more mad since I felt Mafia 2 has a perfect set up already. Just needed more side content to give players a actual reason to explore the open world.
Not surprising after the good and great reception to Fallout 3 and New Vegas,weird price increase shenanigans, and the only seemingly worthwhile piece of content for 4 being Far Harbor.
Yet season passes are a result of people buying into them. Should have never since the start. Perhaps we wouldn't be in this mess.
Plus salty people that didn't get it cheap lol.

Very good to see how more detail becomes clearly visible. Nice shots dex.
Good on them to not stay silent after the backlash of WD1 PC release.
Apparently Denuvo continues to be in Ubisoft games. Shame. This will cause headaches in the future.

I still don't understand why they raised the price of the season pass. It actually had less story content then I was expecting, and I'm not interested in the other stuff. If it was 33% off the original $30 price I'd consider getting it.

The newest nvidia updates seem to bring in some stutters here and there.
I say this because when I got my 1060, and had the default drivers I had no stutters. But after I upgraded some of the stuttering hit. Not worth the effort to go and roll back drivers since it's minimal.
how do Telltale games like Batman run on an i7/1070?
the build begins...
That's really overkill for this generation, let alone Telltale games which generally require less graphical horsepower. Random Telltale Engine issue notwithstanding.

Batman is the worst performing TellTale game and it ran at 1080/60 for me on a i5-2500k/1070.
There's no cap. You can download as fast as the content server/your ISP will allow.

If you bought the Groupees 50c Firestarter bundle, they have keys for Invisible Mind Again.

So it does
It's not like GTA V has super deep gameplay, but it tried to mix things up with what it had, and its side activities aren't strictly limited to collectibles .
thanks, i was basically asking if a good enough pc could power through the sluggishness of Telltale's engine
this is great news, i will have to replay The Wolf Among Us & Tales from the Borderlands this Winter
Awesome! And great decision going with Noctua fans to replace the stock fans. I replaced my two stock fans with Noctua and added another front fan as well. My pc is nice and coooool.
Good luck with the rest of the build!

I thought about that when I bought GTX1080. Then I releaized there is no such thing as overkill, there's always higher resolution to chase after (1440p, 4K, or downsample), higher framerate to pursue (playing shooters at 144fps makes 60fps feel sluggish in comparison).
Speaking of builds, it seems the latest BIOS update for the ASUS X99-A II finally fixed my overclock stability issues. Previously, playing The Witcher 3 for around half an hour or Just Cause 3 for 10-15 minutes would result in a sudden restart, however, with the update installed, I recently finished up what I had left of the former over a few days and had no issues, and after restarting the latter's third mini-expansion yesterday I'm already further than I was before following a single, uninterrupted ~one-hour session.
While I'm glad I can finally enjoy my upgrade free of incidents, the experience has soured me on ever again combining an ASUS motherboard with a new-release CPU. The instability was so frustrating that I strongly considered going back to my 2600K and selling the stuff I'd bought.
(I bet I've jinxed myself by posting this.)

It's been a long road, but it looks like with today's Tomb Raider patch, DX12 finally performs better on my 970.
Weird lower max values, but huge boost to minimums.
Wow, that almost convinced me to replay the game. But then I remember that I've 100%-ed the game and I don't have the anniversary pack nor the season pass. Oh well.. :/

I bought Rise of the Tomb Raider and Season Pass on both Xbox and PC and have played about an hour between the two. I really should get around to playing it.
The store update that leaked a few weeks back hasn't happened yet, if that's what you're thinking of.
