"The fate of Enoch."
I've got to admit, that's a rad looking badge.
Finally, the Copons simulator I've always wanted.

Oh wow. I don't know why I'm so excited to monopolise cocoa... but I am.
Real unfortunate that this patch came out around the same time as CivBE.

Who stole your shift and punctuation keys, man? Your posts are reading like zky's. Which would be okay if you were zky, but there's only enough room for one person whose posts read like free verse around here.

Stop with the quoting!
Edit: you're ruining the avatar quoting of copons. It's less special if you do it too much.

Luckily, once From Soft's next game comes to PC, we won't have to put up with 30fps.
Just every other day. Almost every times copons is mentioned or anything funny cat related.
The game was awesome when it was in it's early stages. I can't wait to sit down and give the full version a go.
Can't he avatarquote coupons? (copons? Cupons?)

nothing even REMOTELY close to that
Can you go a week without avatar quoting copons? I think you might need an intervention.

TF2, just Halloweenupdate 2 already, geezus!
Oh come on.
I saw that Bloodbourne thread and did debate posting in there but nah it's already a little dicey. What makes me wonder is what in earth is happening with some developers and PR depts recent? I don't buy their reasonings and justifications and the outlets they are conducting the interviews with aren't likely to be read by joe blogs who has only a passing intrest in games media but someone who craves every last prereleased, hyped up detail. They are more than likely going to be the ones who also flip the proverbial table when said title isn't to their lofty standards. Software isn't CPU or GPU limited unless you make it that way so if you want a nice shiny looking game over one with a higher resolution, framerate or even cleaner IQ with decent AA then just bloody say so instead of the drivel that comes out. The people who would buy that ordinaly don't obsessivly follow the places you're giving these interviews to.
speaking of frames, no matter what my bullshit benchmark says (110+ avg), I cant seem to get steady 60fps on Mordor and its annoying me
Ive tried all the SLI profiles, no SLI, ultra textures, no ultra textures (in fact the ultra textures dont even seem to make a difference), its always between 45ish and 60+, with weird drops when I turn the camera or something sometimes
also, sometimes it just feels sluggish, but Im not sure if thats the game just being assassin creed-y, like theres a small delay when you start to run for example, I remember the creed games having the same and it always felt weird
my rig really should be obliterating the game, and...well, its not. I guess I need to investigate, stupid pc gaming, let me be lazy

Hahaha as I said to you the other day you're now going to fall i to that trap of obessively monitoing everything and that you must blaze every game know to man. The first area of Mordor I can get a pretty stead framerate apart from some of the Forge Tower bits and zooming in on the Orcs in Sauron's Army which makes things a little wobbly. The second area though tanks my framerate unless I fiddle with things. Fingers cross Monolith get the work done their end soon to get an Offical SLI profile out.

Why stop at saying you made a compromise between framerate and visuals when you can actually make believe to some people that you chose what's best for both of them ?

Wasn't expecting Bloodborne to be 60fps anyway, but that statement is a crock of shit. Why can't devs/PR people be just frank?
I will mail a bottle of Kentucky Breakfast Stout to the first Dev I hear come out and say, "Look ladies and gents, we chose this aspect ratio and this frame rate because the hardware just can't handle how we really want the game to perform. Deuces."
your words hurt my soul doogie
the funny thing is, when im playing I dont even notice, you just forget it, then the odd drop happens and you are reminded and you start to obcess again >_<
GamersGate is doing some nice sales

Damn, another Stout I feel like I need to try some day. Doesn't seem to be easy to get hold of in the UK.
£1.50 for the Outlast DLC is a great deal. I haven't played it yet, but I've heard it's better than the main game.

Mordor plays like an AssCreed, unsurprising that it runs like an AssCreed. I have no idea how I survived playing games on the 360 so long, especially on an SDTV. Those sub-20 framerates.

after playing a little more than 2 hours of payday 2 I've come to the conclusion that I don't like this game. it seems to be built around holding certain points down for a set amount of time until you can advance. Like I just did that mission to unlock that new dude, that mission was wave after wave on one spot till I had to go fetch something while fighting other waves of enemies blocking the path then to return to where I originally was and fight more waves till we had to go. meh game.
I will do so to the first developer who goes a different route. Something like "frankly, the consoles can't handle our game at 1080p60, so instead of compromising, we released it on PC exclusively."
Only problem with that is who is going to be reading/listening what you've said and are they that clueless to believe it? So let's take Bloodbourne as an example where the comment was made to Playstationlifestyle. Do we think their readership is going to say 'wow I really appreciate that the game will be 30fps because that's what someone else is telling me is best for action games contrary to years upon years of arcade games proving otherwise'? Sure there might be a few that blindly will follow that but the people I know who are actually bothered by framerate, resolution and effects understand the concepts and all this is doing is pissing in their cereal. Folks I know who are clueless to what higher framerates, greater resolution or sharper IQ entail in performance terms and the tradeoffs really couldn't give a monkeys about that as they just want to play good games.
So who are the devs taking to? Are they trying to convince enthusiasts that their vision is right even thought they have lower targets in mind? Are they talking to the peeps who are more intresting in gameplay and really don't care about framerate anyway? You know what as much as I bang on about technical details and what not if a game intrests me enough I'll play it regards of it's limitations but I don't really want to be told what's best for my enjoyment and be patronised about the effects of greater and higher resolution and framerate. If you want a pretty and shiny game and you can't sacrifice your vision so have to have a specific resolution and framerate just bloody say so insteady of these wishy washy claims that no one can tell the difference or it's about the quality of the pixels or n framerate is better because reasons.

Assassin's Creed is actually kinda fun. News at 11.screw you Kiro, Im having fun with it
hasn't Chris Roberts already said that about Star Citizen some time ago?
Nearly. I think he actually said something more along the lines of not wanting to release dumbed down inferior versions of the game for lesser platforms.
EDIT: https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/76653/star-citizen-pc-ps4-and-consoles

I'll be honest, I don't actually mind AssCreed so much anymore. Strangely, my least favorite element of the recent ones was the ship battles. Maybe... the ghosts got to me.

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.
I would think the opposite would be true. No such thing as "bad press" and all that.
every time i see that thread I think "oh cool GG is having a sale..wait nvm"
