Love these completely unnecessary and passionate rants.

Review on Guru3D: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/amd_radeon_r9_fury_x_review,1.html Conclusion: Slower than GTX980Ti at lower resolutions, Titan X-like performance at Ultra-HD. Also, AMD seems to have completely eliminated the frame pacing problem with the Fury X. Yeah, I was hoping for more. I'll skip this generation.

Y'all had it coming.

That.. was not a difficult choice. Especially considering I never played Dragon Age: Inquisition. YOU CAN'T STOP ME!!

http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/yngwie-malmsteen-unleashes-the-****ing-fury Link probably won't work because of the kindergarten rules of this board, but you get the gist of it.

I would but my noodly appendages do not reach into Skeeters Junkyard. Only the Global mods, LadyCrimson and syn2083 can help you out so you may want to send one a PM. Yngwie would be turning in his grave, if he was dead. Oh well.

Not quite as positive as Tom's Hardware, Eurogamer's review of the Fury X: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-radeon-r9-fury-x-review Conclusion: Not as fast as GTX980Ti or Titan X, but may depend on drivers.

So.. the first reviews of the new Radeon Fury X are starting to come in. Like this one from Tom's Hardware: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-r9-fury-x,4196.html Conclusion: Same price as the GTX980Ti, same performance as GTX980Ti. Better energy consumption (!), lower noise, cooler form factor. I like. But I will not buy. Edit: AAAHH! SOMEONE FIX MY TITLE TYPO! I'M SO ASHAMED!

I had to check after reading your time scores: I've played 160 something hours. I just met Crach an Craite on Skellige.

I think it looks absolutely fantastic. I was worrying about where they would take the franchise. I mean, personally I didn't see any obvious paths forward from the last two games. More of the same? Sure, I would buy it, but people would be disappointed. Better graphics? Again, sure, it's nice to have, but if that would have been all everyone would have been disappointed. Very interesting to see how this plays. Trailers can only show you so much. And it's out in November! That's amazing to me! No more 2-4 year waits for newly announced games. It's out in a few months! Great job, Bethesda! Ps. If you've already said, in this very thread, how much Bethesda/Fallout 4 sucks, feel free to not comment again. If you think it sucks, you've already said everything we need to hear from you. Saying it over and over with slightly different wording is just trolling.

I never got Wolfenstein to work. The few moments I got it to run, it felt like 20-30 fps and that's unplayable to me. No matter what settings I put on the graphics. But I found something else to buy! Alice: Madness Returns at 78% off (or around 20 SEK in Sweden, less than a burger). Woo!

I tried that "game" they have for the summer sale. Apparently you're supposed to click on monsters. And that's it. Click click click. So I downloaded an automatic mouse clicker program, set it to clicking 100 times per second and went to town. Made a few hundred million in gold, bought a few upgrades and then it crashed. Not sure what to think about that.

To be honest, I wouldn't have minded if the game had no combat at all and all you did was travel from place to place and played Gwent. It's so much fun to try to build your deck and find new opponents to beat. I've played for 100+ hours and yesterday I finally went to Skellige for the first time. It was a whole new world and a whole lot more Gwent opponents. Woo! Btw, now I understand why that level 26 High Stakes Gwent quest was so hard.. I have basically doubled my deck strength since then. I think you were supposed to enter that tournament a bit later than I did. Oh, and my favourite character so far has been Corrine Tilly. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yeah, it sure is. I started it too and it crashed during the tutorial :/

Yeah, summer sale.. Far Cry 4 with 40% discount on Steam: 331 SEK Far Cry 4 at my local store, physical copy: 299 SEK Shadow of Mordor, 30% discount on Steam: 322 SEK Shadow of Mordor, local store, physical copy: 227 SEK. Steam sales aren't very good, to be honest. Unless you're shopping for the same games five years in a row.

I would have agreed with you if everything was marked beforehand (like in Fallout 3), but they're not. There are no arrows anywhere, the map markers are actually invisible until you read about them on a village board, and some map markers are not visible until you happen upon them. At first I thought the exploration would be boring with all the map markers, but then I realized that there's a lot of things out there that you have to find on your own and now I love it.

You are. Now we know two things: 2leet fails at life and Amentep fails at math. (~800 hours/3878 days = 0.2 hours per day)

Wait, was the cave troll a DLC? Oh, that's weird. I just found a hole in the ground, jumped down and a troll attacked. I wiped the floor with him and a quest was updated. I never realized it was the free DLC.

To be honest, I don't think CD Project Red needs Chris. I've actually cared for some of the stories in The Witcher 3, they have managed to frighten me by setting the mood just using dialogue, they've managed to make pixels on a screen sexy and they've made me laugh out loud from surprise when their understated humour has been more clever than I expected from a video game. Bethesda on the other hand.. I feel they have the skills to make really cool video games technically, but.. An experienced writer would certainly help them.

RPG Codex caught it first ^^ Oh yeah? Well, did RPG Codex get THIS: DIDN'T THINK SO!015

I don't think he is leaving the industry. Maybe he got offered a lot of money somewhere else. Bethesda? He would be needed there, for sure.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-09-chris-avellone-leaves-obsidian-entertainment I did not see that coming. It's on his Twitter.

If you can't source it, don't ****ing say it. Obviously just your usual negativity spreading BS. Again.

I started Gwent very late in the game. I was in Novigrad when I thought to myself "**** it, let's give it a try". I had not yet gotten a single extra card outside the starter kit. Naturally I got my ass handed to me repeatedly and I thought Gwent was stupid and boring. But then I traveled back to the very first inn I visited in the game. I talked to the innkeeper and they sold 4-5 new cards. I bought those and played the innkeeper. After a few tries I won and he also gave me a special card. With my new deck I started forming a tactic that suited my playstyle and card collection. I began travelling to all the places with vendors, bought all the cards they have available and played them for their special cards (all Gwent opponents give you new cards when you beat them the first time). After a while I had enough of a deck (and knowledge of the game) to be able to take on bigger fish. When I got my first few special cards (cards that double their strength when put together, cards that resurrect other cards, cards that give opponents strength but give yourself two new random cards and so on, hero cards that are unaffected by.. well, everything) the game kind of opened up. Now it's fun to play and I can do several different tactics. I can play conservatively and lure out my opponents best cards in the first round, throw that round and overwhelm them i the last two rounds. Or I can flat out crush them with my heroes and special cards. Or I can play tricky and conceal myself under the weather, only to release my power by clearing the clouds in the last round. Right now I'm finishing up the big players in Novigrad. I've played a few opponents who has cards that I would really like to see in my collection, but when I won, they gave me other cards than the ones I was hoping for. I wonder if there's any way to win their other special cards too (a heroic spy with 0 strength comes to mind)? Anyhow, I would suggest to not take Gwent seriously and just see it as a distraction when you happen upon another Gwent player. That's what I did and it's been a blast ever since.
