got back into persona 5

in the futaba dungeon now, about 33 hours in.

i really wanna meld black frost since he was easy mode in persona 4 but i think it requires a really high level now. new game + i guess.

i'm right about there after losing a month or more of game time and having to redo the bank palace because the game doesn't have a loving autosave system in TYOOL 2017 :argh:

Prey is really good and spooky. Once I'm done with that game, I'll get on Nier.

Let's be honest though, Wipeout and Dirt 4 come out in a month. Those will take up all of my time.

How well is Prey optimized? Would my crummy i5-2400/GTX950-combo run it without the game looking like rear end?

It's optimized really well. It's using the Cryengine instead of the in house Arkane one. I have a similar CPU and a 1060 with no slowdown.

I'm a bad person after Pesticide20 (I think?) gifted me PUBG and I haven't played with you guys yet, because my dumb macbook can't play it on windows in a VM and I have linux installed on my desktop like an idiot. Sooooo I've been meaning to buy a new SSD so I can dual boot windows for games. It should be here by Wednesday and then I'll finally join you guys. Let's hope my 8 year old video card can handle it at lowest detail and resolution :lol:

well when you first load it don't judge everything based on the pregame area or probably at least until a minute or two after you've actually landed on the ground to decide if it's playable or not. I have a relatively modern build and that poo poo gets weird anyhow, mainly from connection and server side poo poo. Hell if you play with lowest graphics settings I think it ends up being an advantage!

NDA gets lifted on Quake Champions next time the beta goes live on the 12th. They're letting everyone in, anyone who signs up should get a code by Thursday. We also get to see the new objective mode.

who knows they probably wanted to prevent people from just making GBS threads on the game right out the gate. which they're going to do anyway come the 12th.

the game looks nice but the whole champion thing is essentially a non-starter when it comes to deathmatch/1v1 poo poo which is like 90% of the competitive poo poo people care about. zooming increases damage on most weapons so you can melt people with an lightning gun, and one shot nearly every non-armored champion in the game with a zoomed in rail shot

They've been taking down youtube videos, no idea if they've knocked those guys out of the beta. Tons of people have been talking about nda stuff all over the internet and it'd be impossible to enforce.

The main mode the game will be based around is the objective based mode "sacrifice" which we should get our first look at this week. I assume it will be something about holding ground or moving a flag/ball. It will probably allow players to play differing roles with the champs like the tribes games.

Only the railgun and HMG get bonus damage from zoom.

Bethesda did put your email in screen shots of a beta client which was pretty funny. People got some of their beta access removed because of this. But mostly it is a non issue.

The Rail does 80 instead of 100 damage in Q3A and the LG is doing like 33% more damage when zoomed in. So no?

The first 2 weeks of the beta test this wasn't the case. I haven't been able to play since because bethesda's launcher refuses to download the update or the game in any capacity no matter how many times I reinstall it.

They haven't actually changed that though, it's been the same since day one. There was a misconception about that on the forums.

Finally gave Nier an honest go, it is super anime but a pretty fun button mashing hack 'n slash action RPG. It took a bit to get going for me, though. Some of it is extreme cringeworthy anime poo poo but aside from that I'm digging it. The story seems better than I expected I guess, it piqued my interest a little bit. Pls no spoils

I'm way late but I need to finish this poo poo so I can get on Horizon dawn and finally finish Zelda

Also Titanfall 2 is a lot better these days. Wish all the changes and added poo poo was available much earlier but hey. We have a psmessages chat group with 40 people so coordinating full games is pretty easy. So if you want in on that let me know. You can mute the app so the chat doesn't blow up your phone etc

GiP, I have shameful confession to make. I've been playing Mass Effect: Andromeda, and... I've been sort of having fun? Don't get me wrong, the game is still janky as gently caress, but the combat & character development systems carry it quite a bit.

Still doesn't excuse "sorry, my face is tired" or the fact that all Asari & Angara have the exact same loving face. There's a decent game hidden underneath all the bullshit, which makes the experience rather frustrating at times.

That's what pisses me off the most about Andromeda, the game had a poo poo ton of potential, and they hosed it up on so many levels.

Exactly. It would be one thing if every single thing about the game was mediocre at best, but when you can see that there actual flashes of greatness and a pretty solid foundation in general, it makes the whole experience frustrating.

Kinda like Prometheus.

Also, thanks to this thread I've been getting into PUBG. It's loving amazing. When it's fully developed and polished up it's gonna make so much money.
