Mamoulian War

I started to play Tales of the Abyss, for the first time. I really like the game, the characters and story. Sometimes there is to much talking, but no need to grind at all. It took me some time to get into the combat, but I can manage bossfights most of the time without knockouts. But I hate the fact, that Namco has robbed me of this experience in my teenage years :/ The only way how to play this game at that time, was to go the console piracy way. Because it was impossible here to buy US model of PS2 :/ Because of that, I never knew, that such magnificent games like Tales series ever existed, before Tales of Xillia was released on PS3. After that, I bought every single of them, for my PS3 and PS4. But I have still missed few PSP and NDS releases, because I simply did not knew that some of this games even existed I have not finished the game yet, but I can already say, that TotA is the best PS2 generation RPG, I have played. Square Enix started at that time to put much more money into FF games, but they were schooled by lower budget Tales of games, and I've found about it only 13 years later

Because these reviewers were maybe not objective enough, and just parroted what Mr. Bobby has written on the checks, they received? From November 2017, all I see and read about Destiny 2, is how bad the game is compared to number one, and even wall street news are giving advice to investors to stay from that trainwreck as far away as possible...

I thought that was the full name of the game. And I thought at first, it was his recommendation, how we should be managing our spending habits in the world of Digital Distribution, and was awaiting some new GabeN drama, in his lenghty post... I ended up disapointed :'(

Conpleted first scenario in Hard West on Hard. I needed only one restart during all of the missions. Thinking to go for Ironman attempt on Hard. But probably I should just go and play new unlocked scenarios.

Started Hard West yesterday evening. Have only 1 mission behind me. It looks very promising.

I purchased some cheap wired stuff for my PC. It is very close to DualShock, but has natively 2 built in drivers. For MMinput (classic joystick driver) and for Xinput (xbox driver). Some newer games detect only Xinput. I have tried DS3 and DS4 too, but without bluetooth dongle, you just kill the battery in no time :/ So I have chosen the cheaper alternative.

Incoming "Ultra realistic depiction of misuse of animals" articles all over the web in 3... 2... 1...

Hmm I always thought that CDPR is daughter of CDP, not only it's own division... anyway, this still not answers the riddle, why anyone except Volo, would not want to give money to CDP

CD Project Red in direct has nothing in common with GoG. But they have the same parent company afaik.

:-O

Ooooooooooooooooh those DS9 shirts... @.@Extra Credits opened up Pandora's Lootbox, then shook it until controversy fell out. Well in my oppinion, games should not cost more than 30USD. And I guarantee, I can put as much stuff out of my ass to support my argument, as any other guy.Looks like Jim Sterling decided to invest some of his time, put some facts out of his ass, and saved a trouble for me and many others, to give just a different oppinion, why AAA games are “so expensive to make” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kIPNckHDN8 EDIT: How in the hell it is possible, when I post video on this board, that in one case the link automatically converts to video thumbnail, and in other case it just transforms into url tag... can someone explain me?

Loading times changed (unconfirmed being Denuvo or the patch itself). Performance impact? Zero. See, resident board idiots? Instead of blaming all the bugs and performance issues in the world on Denuvo, how about you actually test it first? Source: https://www.techpowerup.com/241144/ci-games-silently-removes-denuvo-4-0-from-sniper-ghost-warrior-3 When you say A you should say also B. "This was expected to a certain degree taking into account that Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is a GPU intensive title after all. It might be a different story with games like Watch_Dogs 2 or Assassin's Creed Origins, since they are more demanding on the processor." In other words, so also you understood it. Because we board idiots can understand it easily... in this game the bottleneck is GPU. So even if you make by any miracle your CPU processes 10x faster, you will not increase any performance, because the bottleneck of the preformance is *drumroll* GPU. Edit2: also I do not see any mention of trying to reproduce well know bugs in the testing environment with and without DeNuvo. Without this debugging, any "evidence" of not impacting performance is by no means any real evidence, just another "controversial" article about DRM on the internet. For me the significant reduce of loading times is pretty much good enough hint, that DeNuvo indeed negatively impacted the CPU usage during processes, which are not using GPUs for their acceleration...

How shocking!!! A good game has good sales. And without Games as a Service bull****. Who would ever thought about that!!!

When we came to the state, that MS buying another publisher on their way to world domination, is considered as a good thing, it says a lot about the current AAA gaming production :-D

Hahahaha The next step in evolution of Rhytm Games :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpMUKRR01Tc EDIT: OMG... and it is made in Czech Republic by studio with roots in Slovakia :D

After a looooooooong time in my backlog, I have finally finished Shadowrun Dragonfall Director's Cut for the first time. Took me around 41hours and 30 minutes or so. At the start, I kind of did not liked the pacing as much as in the first game, but after I got to the second half of the game, I started to have a blast! The story and also the side missions have started to slowly unveil the plot and the road to the ending was for me full of adrenaline (despite it being turn based game) and hard choices on how to proceed. My character choice for first blind playthrough was Orc Physical Adept with low Charisma and Intelligence, with Gang Etiquette. And he was kind of greedy and naive, but still good in heart, so I have made according to that few choices, with which my party have not agreed, and if they would be real people, they would be facepalming all the time :D I had lots of fun, despite being able to play it only during the weekends, and now I understand, why Shady was questioning my choice of Shadowrun Returns in top 100 2017 :D If you have not played it yet, go for it! I gave it 5 stars on GoG.com

The first game of Utawarerumono is being remade for PS4 and Vita. I know few of you liked the two later installments and might enjoy this one as well. http://www.siliconera.com/2018/01/26/utawarerumono-remakes-first-trailer-shows-off-new-improved-graphics-gameplay/

Happened to everyone who was assimilated by EA. The moment EA bought them, I have put my money elsewhere. I was so excited for DA:O and ME games, when they were announced, but now I am happy, that I have not bought the 1st games in these series. I have saved myself serious disapointments. Anyway. Awaiting from all of you the experience with Monster Hunter World. It is very high on my to buy list this year, but being 4th month on business trip, I have almost no access to gaming outside of few weekend days, so buying it now, would be just for collecting dust, while I am away

I think, I have spent more hours playing Pazzaak, than both KotoRs combined O.o That game was so awesome!!!

"Doubles down" Yet https://www.pcgamesn.com/dragon-age-4/new-dragon-age-game Don’t get to high hopes for DA4... Update from the kotaku article, from this morning... UPDATE (1/25, 9:50am): The day following the publication of this article, BioWare studio head Casey Hudson confirmed that the next Dragon Age will indeed be a live game. “Reading lots of feedback regarding Dragon Age, and I think you’ll be relieved to see what the team is working on,” he wrote on Twitter. “Story & character focused. Too early to talk details, but when we talk about ‘live’ it just means designing a game for continued storytelling after the main story.”

Ooooooooooooooooh those DS9 shirts... @.@ Extra Credits opened up Pandora's Lootbox, then shook it until controversy fell out. Well in my oppinion, games should not cost more than 30USD. And I guarantee, I can put as much stuff out of my ass to support my argument, as any other guy.

Thinking about MHW, but I have no time to play anything atm. :-/

@Lexx: That's what I hate about all the "modern" open world games. Shallow quest descriptions in log book, so in most cases you have absolutely no clue where to go without all the UI fluff turned on, but when you turn it on, well the game became more boring than corridor walking...

IIRC in Witcher 3, it should be possible to turn most of these "modern" hand-holders off.

They fixed it later again, so I was able to redeem it in the end.
