alpha protocol owned but the gameplay is WAY shittier than dxhr. i beat it three times but the fourth one completely broke at the end so welp

yeah i liked alpha protocol but seriously the combat in that game was like being hit in the face by scrotums travelling at mach speed

also that game was a fuckin buggy piece of poo poo when it came out, like 'not qa'd at all' buggy

it has a decent foundation that is slightly discounted by the fact that pistols are staggeringly overpowered and make everything in the game a total joke, shotguns are garbage minus the phosphorus ammo, assault rifles are good but have a garbage ability so are not really worth leveling much, and you dont get any gun worth mentioning until you get into the hubs proper. which...well, 2/5 offensive skills worth leveling, 1/5 which is good from the beginning, aint bad right?

Yeah also it's refurbished (and an HP) so it was mostly a jokepost

edit: basically a "4GB" card with a completely underpowered GPU that would never be able to touch that, non-SSD, would probably need to up the PSU to get a better card, etc

Fueled by my anger at Kojima Productions� MGSV Ground Zeroes for being one of the bigger misogynist gently caress ups in gaming history, I came to terms with who the real bullies are now.
For note, I am a huge loving fan of previous MGS installments. I let the rampant misogyny slide for the sake of having fun. But with this�I feel loving betrayed.

alpha protocol's gameplay is poo poo but it's no shittier than dxhr and you get a good story with all the much-desired replayability and important decisions and whatnot. name literally one area that dxhr is better than ap

actually aps gameplay is way better because gunning people down is a valid strategy and you dont have to eat carbs and whiff farts while waiting for your battery to recharge.

These look dope but still kinda pricey. I'll probably do the SHSC BYOPC thread and get something a little lower-specced that ~suits my needs~ although it would be cool to play Watch Dogs with high-rear end graphix

Razer sells every product at a loss

quote:

In an interview with VG247, Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan admitted that every product the company ships is sold at a loss. The statement came up when Tan was asked about the sales of Razer's left-handed gaming mouse, which he said sells "terribly." Tan said his company is focused on gaming, not just ideas that make a profit.

"We're not run like a real company, I know. It's insane, but every single product we ship, we're shipping at a loss. Life is short. And it's funny to see someone using a left-handed mouse," he said. "I have great investors. They're passionate about what they do. I tend to be able to deflect any questions like 'how are we doing on a business level? How profitable are we?' by going 'Look at this! Isn't it cool?' And they go 'Oh yes, it's cool,' and then I agree. Yet another board meeting saved."

"Our investors are genuine product people. I'm thankful for it. I cannot imagine if somebody's just interested in like, a bottom line or a profit," he explained. "We've been able to make decisions that make absolutely no commercial sense whatsoever. Even the laptop flies in the face of industry reports. You know, 'PCs are dying, everyone should get out of the PC industry' and here we are going 'Great! Let's invest as much money as we can in building a PC laptop.' Right? Doesn't make any sense but hey! Look at it! It's cool."

Razer recently released its Razer Blade gaming laptop in Australia, which the company touts as the world's thinnest gaming laptop. The Blade is plenty powerful, but it's also pretty pricey at $1,999 for the cheapest model. Tan said that the Blade is only possible because Razer is willing to spend the money on significant R&D.

"For every finished product that goes to market, there are probably four finished products that we've done but not released," Tan explained. "It's one of those things, a Razer design initiative. We take a million years to get anything out. If you put things in perspective, most other companies probably launch more products in a single year than we have done in the past - since we were founded."

"It's like a running joke. We launch on the average maybe five, or four new products a year? And our customer base complains that we launch the products too fast. I'm trying to figure out why. Most other companies launch about 50 new products a year, or even 100. We launch very few products - but products that everybody wants. if there are 50, you might only want one of them, or three of them, but because we're just so lazer-focused on gamers themselves, every single thing becomes a gamer's requirement."
