Mamoulian War

It really depends on the country, most people in the world do not need PS4 or XB1 for their entertainment. PS2 and PS3 still have thousands of games to play. People in US and most EU, just are unable to grasp the idea, that the most modern and hip thing is not needed to have fun. Lot of people who I know are still sticking to XB360 or PS3, because there are tons of good games on it, and can get very cheap games on it, and with them lot of fun. Same goes with modded consoles. If people cannot afford PS4 and big tv, they just purchase old modded console for under 100USD, and get thousands of games for cheap or free. And good PC even for few years old, still costs more than modded console. Therefore the console piracy will always be more widespread in the world, even if it is almost nonexistant in "western" world.

That the PC piracy is leading is bull****, moded consoles in most of the other parts of the world were always prevalent to PC games, because it was safer (no viruses), and there were and still are even companies who will give you two years waranty and free service for your modded console. The consoles were always more convenient, for legit customers, and pirates as well. That's why most consoles had huge profits, despite all the rampant piracy.

Reached final dungeon of Tales of Berseria. I was able to kill off all optional bosses except one, which is 45 level above me at moderate difficulty. Played through the last quarter of game on hardest chaos difficulty, but last dungeon really has gone up in difficulty, despite having pretty pimped-up gear. 8 battles took me almost 1 hour, and got almost destroyed in the last one. I love the challenge to be honest, but this way, I would spend more than 8 hours before final fight :-P I think I will have to lower the difficulty one step lower to intense and get 2 or three more levels, and then try to change back to chaos. The difference between Intense and Chaos in ToB is that enemies have 15 more levels compared to Intense, and that can make some battles with lot of casters pretty heavy :-D

Any Yakuza in the west is good Yakuza :D My dream would be Compilation of 3,4,5 on 1 disc for PS4 :-D

http://www.siliconera.com/2017/06/27/yakuza-series-director-says-wait-two-months-something-new-yakuza-game/ Let it be Yakuza 2 PS4 remake in vein of Yakuza Kiwami, pretty please

They won't, and they shouldn't(if they are smart). Why on earth would they help Xbox/Steam sell more games?! They are competitors. They would rather attract a new customer to their user-base. Well tbh in my oppinions this decision costs them more sales than it brings them. I can give you only my own example though. You mnetioned Rocket League. I have friends which have Steam and would never ever think about buying a console. I have PS4, and there is absolutely no chance, that I would give my money to Valve. Few my firends already own the game on Steam, but not enough to have full-fledged fun with the game. I would love to purchase Rocket League, but because there is no crossplay, I will not give my money to Sony. I rather put my **** into bee-hive, than playing again any multiplayer game with random toxic brodudes. No crossplay no sale. If I ever purchase Nintendo Switch, I can safely buy Rocket League, knowing that I can play MP with my real friends.

The only platform, which I use is GOG. I have PSN account as well, but I have never purchased any digital only game on PS system, due to DRM, and it will most likely stay that way, unless they make it little bit more competitive with GOG in terms of sales. I rather pay 50 EUR for physical game than 10 EUR for digital game. Cross platform works only when developer/publisher decides to allow it. Crossplatform between GOG and Steam works in maybe 20-30% of the MP games. Crossplatform play between different consoles and PCs is more in the wishful thinking area, than something they want to provide. Because of possibility, that some platform might bite the dust, I buy 90% of my games SinglePlayer, and on PC only DRM-free releases. Whatever will happen with any platform, I can play my games even if the service goes down.

Your personal preferences still do not make Assetto Corsa a terrible racer. It is hard to master game, but even though I suck at it, It is still the best racing game on home entertainment systems.

The thing is, he called AC horrible racer, which is by no means correct statement. If he said AC is horrible arcade, I would not be bothered to react, because that statement is correct. And a statement that FH2 made him enlightened, and calling AC as a terrible racer, just made me hit my head with a table *rollseyes*

Seriuosly... you call Assetto Corsa horrible racer? OMG... I really have to question your sanity... it's the most realistic car similation, that was ever made for home entertainment systems and you call it horrible... Playing FH2 compared to it, feels like playing a games for toddlers... *facepalm*

Just clocked over 100 hours in Tales of Berseria and unlocked Chaos difficulty today. The more I continue, the more gets the story interesting. There is also lot of comedy skits, so I am having a blast and fun :-D I am enjoying it much more than Zestiria and Xillia 2, so far. We'll see how the game will go forward the closer I get to Final Battle. Also if you never played Tales of Zestiria nor Berseria. I would recommend you to play Berseria first and continue with Zestiria, despite being released sooner.

Fantasy General for free on GOG for the next 17.5 hours.

I am sorry, I just shut up now. I am just sad, that I have not started my career in Marketing, because now I experienced first hand, that hype can overcome not only reason and sanity, but newtonian physics as well *shrugs* The choice to pursue my career in programming cost me lot of money :'(

Well checkeboarding or dynamic resolution is another way how to "cheat" the human eye. Same as upscaling. Human eye is prone to fall for many illusions. That's why people like Houdini or David Copperfield were so successful *shrugs* I have heard similar stories how "our game will be running native full HD at 1080p" when we had PS3 vs XBox360 war, there was also tons of hype, but as soon as these games were released people testing these games found tons of different ways' how they cheated the 1080p resolution. The most notable was drop to 30 FPS, sometimes even lower. Being sceptical is in place IMO :D

Haha, now I need to subtly hint to my GM, that his campaign in Magnimar is missing Rusty Nail and goblins riding pig golems :-D Thank you :-P

Ok Sonic. Looks like you do not understand the math in this stuff, And optimization even the best programmer would touch it, will not overcome the limit of the GPU... Here you can check little bit about real info of the XOX GPU: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/2977/xbox-one-x-gpu I recommend to read it all and compare it to other GPUs on the list. And note this sentence, which is bolded in the article: "We recommend the AMD Xbox One X GPU for gaming with highest details at resolutions up to, and including, 1920x1080." Which, in other word means no native, but upscaled 4K... You can optimize the software to run faster, but the power of CPU and GPU has physical limits.

I am sorry, but It is a fact. As I said optimization is not a magic. At some point you always hit a bottleneck, which you cannot overcome, wihout further modification. And that's where we come to the point, where we should point out that, modification is not equivalent of optimization. On optimization, you spent resources in man-hours. In modification, you have to pool into the project other resources as well. Which in the end means, that modified Toyota GT86 which is on par to Porsche 911 GT will end up costing much more than stock 911. Which is not the case of XOX. Aaand native 4K performance capable PC GPUs are more than 2x powerfull compared to XOX GPU. That's why you can see seamless performance in 4K only with Quad SLI Titans and i7 or similar configurations...

And you ignoring the fact, posted by Zoraptor, that optimalization is not magic word, which can turn Toyota GT 86 into Porsche 911 GT... Same as you cannot optimalize sub-par GPU into elite GPU, which alone costs double the price of whole console... And same with balloons. You can't inflate them "ad infinitum", sooner or later they pop. Edit: and you probably missed it, but there was a ****storm on the internet about Witcher 3 and subpar visual fidelity for AMD GPU owners compared to trailers, which were all run on Nvidia GPUs and used some patented technologies not available to AMD.

Unfortunatelly every game, which is accessible to much for the teenage audience, turns sooner or later into toxic dump. Just look at League of Legends. I really liked to play that game with my ex-guildies from WoW, but the game became so full of ****ty people, that I have not started the game for more than 3 years...

And one more interesting thing from E3 So far confirmed only for X Box One.

Why do you think that? Just because it happened with PS4 and Xbox One models when they were aiming for 1080p and 60fps, doesn't mean that they will fail the Xbox One X. It certainly has the power to upscale any game from now and the future in 4k/60fps but most pc gamers tend to forget that the development tools and building softwares are evolving every month, hence the rapid updates. It's just another reason why optimization has and always be much better for console games this generation than on pc.The game play for Destiny 2, Metro Exodus, Forza 7, Need For Speed and Assassins Creed: Origins were all running in 4k @60fps both in the trailers and in the playable demo booths. Point being that the coding for consoles is still more convenient than pc's as it has always been. I'm talking about this in the wrong forum though, I already know thay the majority of gamers here prefer pc over consoles, I just hope nobody takes this the wrong way as me saying that consoles are better than pc. The coding is different, so are the optimization attributes, consoles are not pc and with good reason, even if they use pc parts. We are mid-generation so optimization is far better now. If you're talking about games in 3 years from now, then I guess I can see your point. By then, the PS5 and neXtBox will have made way. Because it never ever happened before, that "vertical slice" trailer on E3 was completely different, from what we got shipped in the end Marketers shove down your throat anything, because no one sued them for false advertising yet... EDIT PS: Ubisoft always lies, because they can get away with it

I have finally found something interesting among E3 trailers as well :-D

Allow me to disagree. You compare it to PS4. PS4 Slim still outsells PS4 Pro. Because it's cheaper...

Any JRPGs announced during SONY presentation? They promised to bring more Japanes games to PS4, so I am curious if they showed some of them already.

When will Sony have their presentation?
