I'd recommend not using Anti Aliasing and the other filters, they're a major drain.

[backwardsvoyager]

yeah i figure trying to get the filters working well would be useless but i can live without all that as long as it doesn't lag. 49 AUD is a pretty good deal so i may as well give it a shot.

I wish they finalized ZoE for Vita that they were originally planning to.

And that's how you loose half your target market. I'm still excited though.

Dicks.

Couldn't see the whole url, so that's still better than the /final-fantasy-vii-will-not-have-crossdressing that I was expecting.

Fuck that noise. I already assumed it was going to be awful, but knew I'd play it anyway. You know that it will be like 2 years between episodes. Because Square.

I started Fallout 4 and I like it much more than I thought I would.

Though FO3 and NV were great - I wasn't as enraptured as others are and this version skims the bullshit out. Probably am in the right mindset to play it now, straight after a TW3/MGSV high it probably wouldn't have hit me as hard.

Question for anyone who uses a PC and knows stuff about computers.....

Is there a way to install a second version of a game, so I can have one version in english and another in a different language?

[Jakezor]

Gunslinger, if the installer lets you pick different languages, and the developer/publisher doesn't enforce really strict activation limits you might be able to.

[oscillateur]

It might depend on how the game is actually programmed/what engine is used. Modern stuff should not store any global stuff (I know for sure for UE4-based games) so you should be ok... If you're going through Steam tough that's might be a bit different.

Aawww man that GiTS game is janky as fuck. The hit detection is way off, instantly killed while enemies seem to be absolute tanks and I've been getting more +30 Assist points than deaths and kills. But the presentation is great and they have all the English dub actors which adds to the authenticity. So right now it's alright, I just hope that it's worth fixing to keep it alive for a year.

I'd rather spend $5 on a FPS game than deal with a fremium style bullshit and hopefully keeps the community active... but I hope they keep working on it.

Same boat. Had really low expectations, but it's been surprisingly enjoyable.

Though I hated the game so much when I got repeatedly killed by some guy with a Fat Man. The god damn quest was RIGHT THERE!

Let's start my new membership with a video games post. Seems appropriate.

I'm waiting on Fallout 4 until they release the inevitable GOTY Edition. All the bugs in F3 and NV were annoying as hell but both games were just too damn fun for me to stop playing them. I anticipate getting a PS4 for Christmas plus I just bought my wife a Wii U as her Christmas gift so I will finally be into the next console generation.

Wii U is the unsung hero of this generation, so many great games! Make sure you pick up Xenoblade Chronicles X - that game's amazing.

[superslidetail]

Yea, it comes with Mario Kart 8 which we both like but I'm going to get Super Mario Maker too. Looks fun as hell. After that we'll see as the console is more for her. PS4 is where I'll be mostly.

I'm kind of confused as to why it's meant to be a free to play game but they're charging for the beta. Is that normal? I was kinda excited but the thought of paying for a janky half-finished version was a little offputting so I might wait. I'd happily pay for a fixed version in a few months though. It seems like such a niche market that it'd be destined to fail but I'll keep hoping.


..aand i think my copy of FO4 got lost in the xmas postal abyss, supposedly 'delivered' two days ago.

I played a little more and my overall impressions improved after 5 hours. Need to turn off AA and Vsync and had a much smoother experience. Decked out my M4 with a nice suppressor, sight and lazer so thats fun.

I just hope they add some more maps and modes, something like Team Sneak or Heists to fit the GiTS theme. The best thing about the game is it's downfall, you can share your special skills with close allies. So you can chain cloaking or sense enemies if you stay as a unit - but you can just as easily get wiped by a grenade. Again, i'd rather a $5 game with minimal microtransactions than a f2p with a toxic community.

Can only get better...
