Just finished the 'Voices' chapter in MGS.
That was fucked up.

Finished The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Redux, took me about 4 hours, got all the achievements too, wish I liked it more than I did, it looks fantastic and has an okay story, it just felt really bland and uninspired, the premise is cool with some interesting story telling bits but overall I just didn't find myself enjoying it a whole lot.
The title really should be "I want it now now now now now now NOW!!!!!"
Those days are long gone..
More often than not, yeah. :/
I get excited for stuff around E3 and other events too, but I think that studios/publishers/whatever just need to be more careful when it comes to announcing release dates and talking about how development is coming along. You have to be careful about when and how you build up expectations for a product. But there's too much carelessness going on, and that leads to people having the wrong idea. Don't announce shit when you don't need to, and don't make people aware of details they don't need to be aware of yet.

Fixed that for you.
What it boils down to is publisher confidence in the developer and the product. Zenimax has confidence in Bethesda and their products, multi-million sellers with long tail sales. Fallout and Elderscrolls are established, evergreen products. Zenimax knows they're not going to have much of an issue convincing retailers to stock millions of copies of their game.

I should buy Axiom Verge given it's obviously not coming to the Vita any time soon

I thought the ending for Quiet was pretty good, even if I would have preferred them to not do what they did with her character in the game itself.

Why not remote play the PS4 version on your Vita with remote play the way Cerny intended.

I never use remote play, compression artifacts are gross. I deal with it on the Wii U for the games that force screen play in places.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
I mean, you already are addicted to KF2, what's one more game going to do.

WB deals this weekend.
Is this LOTR game worth it? I've never heard of this game, but reviews seem positive.
I'm going to pick up Gauntlet as well, it's finally on sale.

Cool. Might get Phantom Pain if all goes well.
yeah this is true, tho i guess u can blame regular people a lot less than like the average gaffer that should just know better at this point to play along and later get outraged
ok replace better with good
delays didn't make good games out of ass unity or watch dogs or whatever
can't think of many other examples atm, was just watching rocky horror picture show again and all my head can do is sing along to those awesome ass songs
it can be good, like in witcha or whatever, but things like watch dogs burn ppl's trust
i guess
i don't really get too hung up over delays cos i see them as a natural thing that happens in games development since it's not always an easy thing to predict
same with visual downgrades or cut content or whatever thing riles ppl up

So like yes or no question, no need to get into details: is it ever revealed who Ishmael or whoever the bandaged guy was in the prologue? I dont think hes dead since in the prologue his body disappears. I just beat
the metal gear with that compliced ass name. Watching the credits atm

try turning off screen space reflection, it's pretty costy in wolfenstein.
it doesn't have AA on by default and it has a grain filter so it looks pretty ass
it uses a lot of vram if you don't turn on compression if i remember correctly

Ok cool. Also wtf, (chapter 2 intro cutscene spoiler)
wasmy boy miller blind this entire time and i didnt notice? Also my boy is getting more salty every time he talks, i bet the twist is that miller becomes a bad guy or something, this man is far too salty to not turn bad(dont tell me if he actually turns bad pls)

In the age of CryEngine and Unreal 4 being free/cheap, do these smaller tools/engines even matter?
No, seriously. I don't know. I'm asking.

idtech5 baby
i haven't tried much of ue or cryengine but the barrier of entry to things like unity3d and gm is really small so yea, they matter
there's no reason to use a fancy 3d engine if you all you want to do is a simple 2d game

I can't wait for you to come back and be like "yo guys hero prinny was right, new ep of south park is pretty much off topic gaf in a nutshell"
yeah for real
I never got the idtech 5 complaints cause other stuff was fine
but im at a loss here. I turned off what's been recommended (screen reflections), have shadow res on medium etc
managed vsync by forcing it through nvidia driver for now and dealing with mouse crappiness
=
game runs like ass. sub-par awful framerate, not a looker by any chance (some of this geometry barf) and my card is not straining at all, so Idk what the fuck is bottlenecking or whatever. I have that texture streaming saving option enabled
what is this ass garbage
edit: framerate is bad even with everything on Low
something's up.

It ran okay for me on a i5-2500k and 7850 but it was by no means ideal, the engine just has a lot of weird quirks to it that are hard to pinpoint the cause.
EDIT: Some of the problems I had were AMD specific if I remember right, saw that you have Nvidia so I'm not sure how much help I can be.

It's a pretty good engine for 2D games, which while can be done in CryEngine and Unreal 4 it's not really what those engines excel at. It's also easier to learn and make things with little programming knowledge.
That and:
6$ to have a good engine and don't pay a single cent more no matter how much sucessful your game is
vs
Having to pay royalties if you make more than a certain amount of money.
It's a fun little game, great to play coop too. I love that specific part of the world in the Tolkien lore though, so that probably boosted my enjoyment a bit.WB deals this weekend.

Oh I gotta check my CC balance. Yeah, that failed developement of the sequel was a real shame. The first episode is one of my favorite Visual Novels, such a great story.
