fault milestone one is half off this week, so do check it out. It is the first part of an episodic series (it's going to be a long one, it seems), but it's actually a very satisfying read. The world is well-developed, the story is engaging, the presentation is top-notch and everything gets even better in fault milestone two. It got a  out of me several times, in a good way.

Zombie Samurai posted:Eeeeugh, I dunno about that. Mass Effect is more tuned and had better gameplay, but the Witcher was way deeper and had much better writing. And if you're just talking about on PC, the Mass Effect port is a mountain of rear end. I played ME on PC and didn't notice any issues at the time, though I don't think I played it immediately when it was ported so it could have been patched or something. I wasn't able to progress very for in Witcher 1 mainly because I didn't like the way the game played. Gameplay wise Witcher 1 was terrible, and a lot of people say that the game was good, but you had to wade through some pretty horrid mechanics to get there.

Comparing Witcher 2 and Skyrim? Bahaha. That's not even a contest, Skyrim might give you a lot of freedom but there's ultimately not much to do and the writing is god awful. Witcher 2 is more contained and linear but I found it so much more rewarding to play.

QuarkJets posted:I think that the gameplay in both of those games was way better. Mass Effect 1's writing wasn't superb or anything, but I'd much rather play that than trying to work with the combat system in The Witcher. Skyrim is inch-deep mile wide. It has gently caress all legitimate agency. I can walk two days east and experience the same lovely quests and dungeons and poorly written dialog as had I walked two days west. Whoop-de-loving-doo. Witcher was more unique and interesting, and the combat gameplay was far more challenging and enjoyable. it stayed fresh much longer. As for the confusion, I can read a one book (or watch a movie), and enjoy it on a surface level more consistently than another book, but that other book can provide more insight or challenge me in ways that also provide levels of enjoyment that may not reach the peaks of the former. Similar for the occasional game - just substitute systems and gameplay and poorer writing.

Get this: Skyrim and the Witcher 2 are both good games that don't need to be compared to each other!

I like the idea of visual novels but I'm always hesitant to buy them without review since a lot of the ones that avoid creepy bullshit just aren't very interesting.

Istarted selling all my excess bundle crap on G2A yesterday and they've asked for verification* for a surprisingly large number of them. I doubt this stops sellers from duping them because photoshop exists, but they seem to be taking token measures to combat fraud. Small comfort for those who have been scammed though, I feel for thee. *Screenshot of purchase receipt, or X bundle account library

Creativerse is free on Steam for a week. Has anyone here played it? I used to be big into Minecraft but over time I got sick of the weak combat and performance issues. I was wondering if Creativerse was an improvement.

If you have an nvidia gpu there's something like that built into the geforce experience now. It was meant for the Nvidia Shield but people got it working on other devices. It's been renamed a couple times and now is called moonlight. http://moonlight-stream.com/ edit: Unless things have changed you can just tell the geforce experience to use a game exe and it'll work with that. I was able to stream pscx2 to my fire tv back when the program was still called limelight. MagusDraco fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Oct 12, 2015 |

This is perfect, I got a Nvidia 970 GTX the other day and had been reading about how it has some streaming features built into its drivers and software.

The biggest issues are that there's always going to be hardware latency when decoding on your device and PC to PC is still in beta. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505510 Basically on android anything with qualcomm chipsets will have up to 50 ms hardware latency before you take your network into account.

you can also try nvidia's gameshare stream thing, it works pretty well for networked 'local co-op' as well as long as both clients have good connections

I love Witcher 3 and ejoyed Witcher 2 but I thought Witcher 1 sucked. It was really janky and the combat was a chore. It also took its sweet time to make the story interesting. At one point I just gave up on it.

I got Witcher 1 free from GOG a couple of years back, and couldn't bring myself to get out of the first area. Then I got Witcher 2 and I thought I'd try 1 again before I started 2, so I started a new file. I still couldn't be bothered past the first area. It ain't for me. That's my Witcher 1 story I hope you enjoyed it

G2A, bastion of reasonable and responsible business people. Not at all filled with money launderers, credit card thieves and scammers. quote:(From PC Gamer) quote:(G2A's Press Release) Stolen credit cards are used to pay next to nothing on Humble Bundle keys before the cards get closed, which get sold to G2A and other gray market sites, leaving not even a penny to the developers. This has been proven to happen multiple times by many developers that keep track of who they give keys to. If you've ever bought a key from any gray market site and they were invalid or used, this is why. Some developers don't want to give keys for a Humble Bundle again, or for the first time, since they lost over half of their keys to this. And seriously, paying for key insurance? Some scams...

I thought 2 was pretty good, the story and setting are great and it has solid combat. Witcher 1 however plays like offline World of Warcraft and the story isn't that important anyway, can't really fault anyone for skipping it.

To continue the book analogy, the Witcher series and all Bioware RPGs are trashy teen romance novels, Elder Scrolls games are enormous coloring books, and Undertale is in the self help section

I want to thank you for posting that article because I've been reading this thread on my phone and I couldn't figure out what G2A stood for. I kept substituting in Games 2 rear end, but apparently that's wrong. it stands for go 2 arena, what the gently caress?
