Katphood Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 The definition of insanity? Buying the same game on a different console and expecting something different. There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamoulian War Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) I'm one of those people who ordered the Obsidian hoodies I have a bunch of "nerdy" clothing though A random sampling 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?

LadyCrimson Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Square-Enix responded to the "Your FFXV benchmark tool has issues/isn't a good benchmark tool" stuff. Someone posted this on the Steam forums, I didn't discover it.The FFXV facebook page community manager is the one who posted it.https://www.facebook.com/ffxv/posts/1946290452354936 We would like to thank the gaming community for all the feedback on our recently released FFXV WINDOWS EDITION benchmark tool.Your feedback will help us fine-tune the performance of the game.We wanted the benchmark tool to approximate the level of visual quality and performance you can expect from your PC environment when running FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION.A Level Of Detail (LOD) issue has been discovered that affects the benchmark scores.The benchmark also suffers from stuttering; both of the issues will be addressed in the shipping game.While the settings in the benchmark are largely pre-selected for simplicity’s sake, the final game will feature highly customizable settings with On/Off options for a wide variety of settings.The benchmark will give you an idea of how beautiful the game will be upon release, but for the reasons stated above, the benchmark may not accurately reflect the game’s final performance. Nice of them to respond and acknowledge the LOD issue. Also, glad for the verification that there will be a lot of custom on/off options. I mean, I was expecting at least some of that sort of thing on a PC version, and would've been greatly annoyed if there was only "High/Standard/Lite" presets, just nice to have it verified, lol.

SonicMage117 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I thought you guys would be interested in this... Focus Home Interactive and Vostock Games (devs behind the S.T.A.L.K.E.R franchise) have reveiled their newest game FEAR THE WOLVES Fear The Wolves is an post-apocalyptic Multiplayer battle royale in which players will have to "survive" with given resources. Will be available on consoles as well as pc... Source: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2018/02/07/fear-the-wolves-is-battle-royale-in-irradiated-chernobyl/ I don't care much for Stalker games but I must admit, I am interested in this and I don't even like Battle Royale games Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother? What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight.

Bartimaeus Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) *(not actually the same dev, although some of the guys that used to work at GSC Game World before they were all unceremoniously laid off did help form Vostok Games) BR market is already crowded, wouldn't be surprised if this made the company crash and burn. Furthermore, the connection to Stalker is tenuous at best due to BRs playing like the complete opposite kind of shooter Stalker was in most respects. Furtherfurthermore, it's not like the Stalkers were the best technically, and it seems like most BR games are utter technical disasters initially, so I can't see that going well for them when the current crop of BRs have had so much time to mature, and will have even more by the time it comes out. Edited February 7, 2018 by Bartimaeus 2 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Zoraptor Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 According to the guy who owns GSC one of the main reasons for them shuttering was that the devs kept on trying to turn Stalker into a MP game behind his back. Given the obsession with faction wars it might not have been BR, but certainly was as at least as much PvP as PvE focused. Funny really, the teams spawned by GSC and Stalker haven't actually done 'proper' Stalker since. Metro is linear as anything and more reminiscent of FEAR, and the Vostok people seem to be obsessed with MP despite Clear Sky being the worst Stalker by a mile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Did anyone ever played the Stalker multiplayer mode? I remember that one of the games at some point had it, but I don't remember anyone ever talking about it. As of now I'm under the impression that most Stalker fans never wanted this.

Agiel Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) I believe it was really just a checkbox thing, though I myself never really gave it a fair shake. From what I remember when I was reading and re-reading articles on the first game during the long agonising wait I came upon a preview that focused on the multiplayer, which seemed to offer only somewhat more depth than Counter-Strike (something like teams that would hunt for Artifacts throughout the level to sell so they can buy better gear). Edited February 8, 2018 by Agiel Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 This is pretty much the reason why I don't like most multiplayer games. It feels like such a waste of time... grinding matches for better gear... wow. No thanks. 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
