MK is bigger than HR, and it does some very cool stuff, but I'd still put it closer to HR than the original. Thanks. Yeah, I kind of figured so I gave it a miss.

What's so hard to understand about this? Denuvo is anti-tamper, meaning it checks the integrity of the files. Nothing else. You could theoretically install a Denuvo application on thousands of different computers at once because Denuvo don't give a ****. Steam is DRM, Securom is DRM, all those other digital rights management programs are (duh) DRM. These are the systems that are stopping you from installing your games on thousands of computers at once. These are the systems that will give you problems in the future. Denuvo is protecting your files. DRM is protecting the publishers rights.

Denuvo is not DRM.

If you can sell a kidney or something I would recommend the Gigabyte Aero 14. NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 GDDR5 6GB 6th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 Processor 94.24Wh Huge Battery Capacity for Full-Day Productivity Only 19.9mm slim, 1.89kg Lightweight Unique Aesthetics with all aluminum robust body Slim and light Adapter with USB Charging Port QHD IPS Display with Wide Viewing Angle Blazing-fast M.2 PCIe Gen3 X4 SSD: Reach 2000MB/s (optional) USB 3.1 Type-C: 10Gbps / 5V 3A HDMI 2.0: Ultra HD 4K 60Hz Output DDR4 2133/2400 MHZ – Up to 32GB Dolby Digital Plus™: Surround Sound Anywhere, Everywhere http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=6135#kf It would cover all your needs, but the problem is the price. Like you predicted, it would probably end up closer to 2200 than 1100€.

The original? The original Deus Ex is one of my absolute favourite games of all times. If it's like the original it's an essential purchase, if it's like Human Revolution I'll skip it.

I saw that Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is 25€ on Steam right now. Worth it? I might add that I didn't really enjoy the last Deus Ex: Human Revolution since it felt too small. Small levels, small character progression, small ambition.

That's uh.. a well placed arrow.

I'm not sure what they've done with the graphics in the Special Edition of Skyrim, but I like it. It looks like an oil painting.

I'm playing the Special Edition of Skyrim and I'm actually enjoying myself again! I have no idea why since the last time I played it I was all Skyrimmed out.

So.. I give sources from people with knowledge about how Denuvo works (actual developers and tech folks), but you dismiss it them by claiming they're rubbish (without offering an explanation why) and instead counter with.. your guesses. "They can't do blah blah because I don't understand how to do it!". Since you're so sure that Denuvo does indeed affect performance negatively (up to -20%, right?), could you link me to your non-rubbish sources?

Last summer I found this huge, black spider crawling around in my bedroom. My first instinct was to scream like a little girl and squash it in panic, but I kept my cool and watched it instead. Turned out it had built a large net behind one of my window curtains where I always have a small window open. That net was brimful with gnats and mosquitoes and flies. I let him protect me for the rest of the summer and by autumn he went away without even saying goodbye. I miss him.

Yeah, I bought the 256 GB Samsung 850 Pro for my OS and most commonly used applications. I use a 4 TB expensive Hitachi (tired of HD's crashing on me) for my storage needs. I have not yet filled even 1 TB of that though.. The Pro was only $20-30 more than the Evo and I felt like getting the best of the best (at the time), but I would also recommend the Evo nowadays. There's almost no difference between them in reality.

Fixed that for you. Because, you see, Denuvo does **** all if you buy the game. Just internet neckbeards who blame every bug/problem/mental issue on Denuvo without ever backing up why Denuvo would be the root of the problem. It does go back to the earlier iterations of Denuvo and Lords of the Fallen, it seem that the constant encrypting did ruin some SSD and cause performance problems. They're probably past that now, but considering how buggy AAA releases have been I would say that they're not even worth pirating. They'll never be past the performance problems. Encrypting/ decrypting uses CPU cycles and system resources, no two ways about it. The SecuROM on TWitcher2 was a fully mature product yet if you replaced it with the DRM free GOG executable you got an instant performance increase for free (up to 20%, so not insignificant). OTOH SSD problems were unlikely to be caused by Denovo anyway. And as usual the sheep keep bleating without thinking... Regarding SSD:s, there are a lot of articles pointing to this myth being false. Here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX379zScuZE Regarding performance impact, you obviously don't understand that Denuvo is not encrypting anything in real time. It's not even a DRM! Here's what Digital Foundry/Eurogamer found: Source: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-12-19-denuvo-anti-tamper-drm Check out what the developer's themselves say about Denuvo regarding performance. Total War devs (for example) have stated it does not have any impact on performance. But feel free to link to a Reddit post/Kotaku forums/[insert random pirate rant here] to prove your point. The only legitimate point is that Linux users are screwed and that sucks.

Very few cities in RPG's actually feel like cities, the basically-a-winding-corridor in Planescape: Torment you guys refer to as a city being the most obvious example. Novigrad in The Witcher 3 is probably the best depiction of a city I've ever seen in a RPG. Big enough to get lost in, it is also varied, detailed and lively enough to become believable. There's not enough to do in it (in my opinion), but it's still the best I've ever seen. Every one of those streets are real and there. Nothing fake, it's all there. You can actually take a boat and sail around the entire city if you wish, and it all comes without loading times. Absolutely amazing. I also liked Las Vegas in Wasteland: It doesn't look like much nowadays, but every one of those houses are enterable and contains something. Some of them are multi-level and some have lots of npc's and quests. Also, there are a lot of secrets to find everywhere. Plus a Scorpitron in the middle.. Other than those two, nothing really comes to mind. Khorinis in Gothic 2 was really cool at the time, but it's way too small to count as a city. The cities in Gothic 3 were cool too, but not memorable enough due to the diluted state of the game. If we're mentioning games outside the RPG genre I'm pretty sure the GTA games are at the top of the heap for cities. Every one of them, in fact. GTA: San Andreas alone has three cities better than basically any RPG in existence.

Sounds pretty good to me. Full review here: http://wccftech.com/review/tyranny-review-glory-overlord/

Titan Quest receives a 10 year anniversary update: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/08/31/titan-quest-anniversary-edition-free-update/ I just checked Steam and it's there alright, achievements and all! Titan Quest is one of my favourite action RPG's so this is great (and unexpected) news!

Because 7 minutes of Elex gameplay wasn't enough, here's 17: http://wccftech.com/meet-elex-the-upcoming-science-fantasy-rpg-by-piranha-bytes/ It looks very.. stiff (to put it nicely). I don't care though. I'm gonna love the **** out of it.

I know I'm going to love this game. There's just something about Piranha Bytes' work that tickles me pink.

Are the maps as small as in Deus Ex: Human Revolution? None of the reviews I've seen mention anything about this.

Yeah.. they launched in Sweden. The cheapest model, the GTX1060, starts at.. $2300. I kid you not. The previous generation, the GTX960M, retails for around $1200-1300. **** that, Nvidia. ****. That.

Hmm, yes, it seems Witcher 3 graphics were slightly worse than I remembered them:

It's not actually a sequel though. It's a modernization of the original game. The one that I never completed but hopefully will this time when it's all new and shiny again..

Outcast: Second Contact is being released for PC and consoles next year! Source: http://wccftech.com/246132-2/ I loved Outcast! Even if I never managed to complete it, I got pretty far and thoroughly enjoyed it. I got stuck in some obscure puzzle, lost momentum and never restarted it. Looks pretty cool though!

Oh great. I'm up to 180 something gear level now in The Division and today the game decided I belong in the 201-230 gear level bracket. I'm screwed. I can't even kill mobs in the lowest part of the Dark Zone now.. they start at level 32. I wonder why this keeps happening to me. I own maybe three pieces of equipment above level 200 (usually level 204). My weapons are still level 163.
