Yeah, I mean Aorus Master OC 3070. Oddly enough, the preorder turned out to be a purchase, and graphic card is in my possession. Still, need to acquire the rest of the build, though I suppose that is that of me hoping to not buy the most expensive version possible. 😅 it’s pwetty though.

Microsoft is taking over AAA RPG territory. InXile is working one one as well apparently. Is there even money in it? Unless it’s Skyrim? EDIT. According to fairly reliable leaker it’s First Person RPG aim UE5. Fallout-like to Obsidian’s ElderScrolls like? On a definitely positive note, outside Deathloop Arcane is cooking something else. Another immersive sim I would hope, looking at who is involved:

🥳 Managed to secure an Aorus Master OC for mid February. Short supply is one way to not make we waver when spending £700. EDIT. I hear it needs some software update.

Oh absolutely not, and Josh sensibilities made PoE what it is, as why I like it. Deadfire, I think, also responds to PoE1 issue, where some major background information are just put in the books. There is a balance between those two. I have written before on how a protagonist tied to Deadfire conflict personally, might be a better vessel for this journey then importing the Watcher. As to “shorter campaigns” - that’s pretty much Bioware approach. Still, more coherent and interconnected Obsidian way worked before - New Vegas being a shining example of excellence and in many ways Deadfire draws from it. PoE2, however, feels disjointed and artificial in a way New Vegas didn’t 🤷‍♂️

He was not only writer for Edér, but also the narrative lead for PoE1. I do think his absence is felt but at the same time it also could the result of Obsidian trying to respond to PoE1 criticisms.

So, as I am not able to buy anything, I have been trying to research RTX 3070s - as to if one day they become briefly available, I shall not hesitate which one to try to basket. I am mainly eyeing with lust ASUS’s, and my question is: would I make a big mistake going for non-OC version? ASUS TUF looks tempting at £600, though I am curious what I am loosing by not spending £100 more on strix OC. it being my first PC build I don’t plan to overclock. I also don’t think I need extra HDMI. Does one need to buy OC if one wants to overclock, or does OC version just makes it easier to do? Will I loose anything significant by not going for OC version?

Wait... KFConsole is not a LOLZ joke? 🤯

Nothing they said suggested disappointment. I don't know how well d3 sold, but it was reviewed well. Something to keep is mind is that Nordic bailed them from shutting down, so I doubt they are unhappy about the collaboration. https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/310894/Postmortem_Mimimis_Shadow_Tactics_Blades_of_the_Shogun.php

Uuu, I will add it to my watchlist. I stumbled on his “F3 is garbage, and here is why” a long time ago, and he won me over. This is just pandering at this point.

THQ Nordic is the owner of the IP, so I dont know If you will be giving money to the dev team or the publisher. I am glad you enjoyed it though, I loved both of their recent titles. Luckily for you, Mimimi will be self-publishing their next title, so it will be an excellent occasion to show them your support. EDIT. As you mentioned you are new to the genre I think the first Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive is well worth giving a go, if you don’t mind a little retro-playing. It’s been patched up to work smoothly on modern systems, and it controls surprisingly well for a game from around 2000. It is a wee bit less elegant then Mimimi’s modern design, but it still has plenty going for it.

Yeah, I know. Official G-syncs are too pricey for my taste. I am at the moment leaning towards Gigabyte G27Q. ISP, flat, 1440p Freesyncs. Seems like a good value for money.

I can't imagine anyone being happy for C77 launch. You have been crunched to rush the project, while management lied about games state and progress. A big chunk of W3 goodwill is being burned, and without a doubt CDPR reputation isn't as it was a month ago. It's a shame.

I am currently trying to find my way among monitors. Any recommendations? My initial thoughts has been: IPS 1440p G-Sync compatible. is there anything decent of that sort in £200-300? (I think it’s more 1080p range). if not: anything in £300-400?

I must say, I thought building a decent PC would be cheaper. I do have reservation on spending over £2000 pounds on a toy. And not the best of the best toy at that. If I had TV I might consider getting a console. As it stands.... I guess I will hope that after 3 weeks of no work/no TV/no socializing holiday my reservations will melt 😂.

I don’t plan on overclocking it really (from what I read it’s not terribly beneficial for RYZEN. What’s OC? Thanks for the tip! I adjusted it.

As of today this is my draft https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/sF8TwP any comments?

Ha! His speedruns make everyone look like a noob. It's hours of research and pretty skillful play. Personally, I am fine with it being stealth oriented experience - there is purity in that. The game is very much about repeat and mastery. And I do like my games specialized. I did find the "public zone" mechanic a bit of a waste, but they do some neat things with it near the end of the game. After two games I am up for a change though. Customisable abilities and equipment comes to mind, but it could break the delicate balance they have. I could definitely see they stealth systems be a part of a larger design, rather then a sole focus, but then we are talking about a fairly big game from a bigger studio. I don't know of Mimimi is there just yet.

That’s amazing, and more helpful then I could hope for. Thanks a lot!

Hey folks! I am looking for an advice regarding motherboard. My laptop died, and I have enough funds to plan PC build for Q1 2021 (assuming I will manage to get my hands on a graphics card 😬). so as far as core components go, I am hoping for: RYZEN 5600X RTX 3070 From what I understand I have a choice between a B550 and X570 chips. As I don’t understand the advantage of X570 I assume I can stick to B550s. Still, looking at ASUS they rock a wide range of B550s, and I fail to comprehend the choice. Anything I should be looking for/be wary of?

that’s the bridge level, correct? That’s definitely the first major difficulty spike - a bit of a boss level for the first chapter. I remember it being the only speedrun badge I genuinely struggled with. The narrative seems to be that Deps3 is too easy, though I think it mostly comes from people who also beat Shadow Tactics (which BTW is absolutely worth picking up) - a lot of mechanics transfer over from ST to D3, so the latter felt like a recap until about midway through. If you feel like watching a pro, check out this guy’s speed runs for levels you have already done.

EveryThorn. Not even sure what it’s supposed to mean, though 🤷‍♂️. That it was grim?

😆 I think it will be more up to Microsoft, as to how long they will want to pay for Avowed’s development, and when they want semi-exclusive content for their consoles. Hopefully, they will learn a lesson from Sony, and invest in prestige platform sellers, rather then try to cash in quickly. So it doesn’t seem like we will be playing Avowed anytime soon. We don’t even quite know what it is.

EA purchased Codemasters. Shame, I am not a racer fan, but I dig Dirt Rallies very mucho. With so many racing companies under EAs umbrella, I can't help but wonder who will be on the chopping block.

Disco Elysium is getting Fina Cut in March, adding new areas, new NPCs and quests and full VO. With how longs it’s been since DE1.0 I have high hopes for this one. It would be a game to rival Planescape Torment, if it didn’t fall apart in its second half. Hopefully, they will add some meat to the game after the initial area and get rid of the stupid single skill check gate. Either way, I was thinking of giving Disco 2nd playthrough, so they set the date for me.
