Nostalgia4Dogges posted:What’s the word on RDR2 and microtransactions/DLC? https://www.rdr2.com/news/zelnick-assures-monetization-not-priority-in-red-dead-redemption-2/ quote:In fact, the concern has became so prevalent that Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick touched upon the topic in a recent interview with GamerDaily.biz. Zelnick was speaking about Take-Two's goal of keeping Red Dead Redemption 2 players engaged after release. I want to believe this. Yeah sure, shark cards paid for all the DLC GTA online got, but:  $700USD real money to buy everything in one of the DLCs. Of course this'd be dumb as most of the vehicles were junk and that includes dumb poo poo like a $GTA 100k helmet with night vision goggles (that didn't work) for your character, but good lord. Bonus: The average cost of a vehicle from each in-game manufacturer. Keep in mind that if you're not doing the big heist missions because you can't afford an apartment/bunker with the heist planning room or don't have a friend to host them for you, the average pay per mission is around $11k.  I really, really hope that Take-Two is sincere and they don't want to go down this road again. Of course if they did it'd probably mean something like Cactus Cards like Greenhorn, Cowpoke, Ranch Hand, and Rio Grande, which would be kinda funny if it wasn't so gross and predatory.

It really ruins the flow of the entire thing and they didn't even bother fixing it for the PS4/XBO release. I loved the idea of it on paper but in reality it feels like all they do is pump DLC into it and don't bother with any QOL patches or anything. Haven't bothered with it since the heists came out a few years ago.

i might have made my fallout game too hard  i have like no ammo, and i need that ammo to go loot more things to make more ammo i've looted every area around me that is cleared of monsters and/or safe i'm flat broke and things sell for total dogshit unless it's an actual good item my settlements don't produce extra water it's a good problem and i'll figure it out but dang, leaning pretty hard on ole' piper and the automatic rifle i gave her edit: if i do another playthrough with these mods i'm going to absolutely be melee to start, fuuuuuuuuck Vasudus fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Aug 10, 2018 |

So somehow I managed to not only screw up true storms, but I also hosed up the darker nights install. My daytime hours look like vanilla darkness with a reddish-orange blob. Nights are decided darker, however the sky is crystal clear with a full moon and stars. e Vas did you ever post your mod list?

I did that quest to fix the leaking pipes in the quarry and had like 75% rad dmg from it. I couldn't find rad away anywhere, I had to very carefully loot the super duper mart because a few hits would kill me.

So after spending a week dicking around with the various survival overhauls I settled on Unbogus. It's really good, but if you add any sort of modded armor you absolutely have to tweak the values in FO4Edit, as Unbogus radically changes armor values. A full suit of unmodded heavy combat armor is barely 30DR, for example. In many cases I had to cut armor values of modded equipment by 50 to 75% or more. Weapons are a bit different, as Unbogus largely keeps values the same for good weapons and boosts lovely ones. I had to tweak some damage values for certain weapons (Plasma Accelerator and FACTOR, mostly) because they were way broken - a fully upgraded FACTOR configured as a rail gun does 180 damage w/ a 30 round mag, whereas the vanilla Gauss Rifle does 130 damage with a considerably smaller mag. So I made the various FACTOR modes (5.56, 12.7mm, 2mm EC) roughly 30% better than the vanilla weapons they compete against. Likewise with the Plasma Accelerator, fully upgrade it's roughly 30% better than a fully upgraded Plasma Rifle from vanilla. Both of these require Gun Nut 4 or Science 4 to tinker with so it's a fair enough thing. Everything else was largely ok, might have tweaked a few damage values here or there. A few neat things about Unbogus: 1) Nerfs the gently caress out of the weapon-specific perks. They go from 25/50/75/100% damage to 5/10/15/20, so you're not really locked in to any particular weapon type at all. I'm level 15 and I haven't picked up a single weapon-specific perk yet, as all the other perks are too good to pass up. 2) Completely removes health scaling and bonus health, period. Things are never bullet spongy but neither are you. 3) Changes around limb damage - enemies can have their arms and legs shot off completely and it's a good idea to do so unless you're really equipped The only thing that's keeping me alive right now is my West-Tek optics that I crafted, as I'm so dangerously outgunned at the moment I really can't get into any sort of real fight so I travel at night with thermal vision on. I ran to Concord with my 5mm Bastard Carbine and got 1300 5mm rounds from the Minigun event and that kept me going for a long while - except I burned about 800 rounds fighting about 60-65 Super Mutants that were hanging around Medford Hospital, which took me about two hours to fully clear. I needed the Fiber Optics and other materials and I paid for them dearly. I have a T-45 chestpiece and right arm right now, nothing else, as power armor is incredibly rare and 100% hand placed thanks to Some Assembly Required. I think I'm going to try and head over to General Atomics Galleria and steal all the lead they have in the gym, and use that to craft ammo at my settlement. If I can get a handy enough amount of 5.56 crafted I can go do Paladin Danse's mission at ArcJet, which should get me a shitload of Fusion Cells to run with some kind of energy weapon. Then eventually turn those fusion cells into plasma rounds.

I currently have a dual monitor setup with two 24 inch screens. I'm debating just getting a really nice 32 inch or larger monitor. I think the only caveat is when I work from home, having a second monitor really helps me out since I can put two excel files up on each monitor with little issue.

Just trust me on this, way better than two screens and Windows natively lets you organize your windows on the screen in a way that works for you.

You won't be able to utilize FreeSync adjustable refresh with an Nvidia card though. You can manually force the refresh to 100hz or whatever the monitor's max refresh rate is, but it requires loving with your monitor settings and creating custom resolutions in the nvidia controls, not hard to do but it's an extra step. Pick up a DisplayPort cable while you're at Microcenter, your monitor will not come with it, and DVI can't push 1440p. I will also caution against the Samsung. Apparently the DisplayPort connection just black screens when you attempt to push anything more than 60hz, and the HDMI flickers like hell if you try to do more than 60hz as higher refresh is not supported by HDMI at those resolutions. https://www.google.com/search?q=CF791+free+sync+issues orange juche fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Aug 11, 2018 |

Also, it ate so much CPU time that the game literally didn’t have the ability to give the aliens orders sometimes, so they just sat there.

Right now leading towards either the LG or the Acer. My fiance's Acer monitors are pretty solid so they seem like a safe bet. Thanks for the input guys!

new update for rome 2 is cool and good. started a campaign as the lusitani in iberia. couple dozen turns in i managed to get my son and heir killed while leading an ambush of the remnants of another tribe. game asked me who would take command of his army, i picked his newly wed wife. a few years later i placed her at a river crossing which ended up getting attacked by the queen of the turdetani tribe. sons widow turned out to be a total badass   helped out by the fact the turds just funneled themselves into the meat grinder    this dude gonna need a huge eyepatch    enemy queen was content to sit back while her turds got flushed  with the rest of her army routing she finally decided to commit her bodyguard to the fray   realizing she hosed up big time  the biggest gently caress ups! no one does it better!   daughter in law and friends celebrating over their slain foes  of which there were a lot   and that was the final gasp for the turdetani. that was their last army between daughter in law and their last village. fuckers shouldve never declared war on me

Laranzu posted:Yeah those movement mechanics make it feel very not Doom. I’m assuming you didn’t play Doom 4/2016, but you don’t have to do gory kills, and there is a rune in game to speed them up. It flows extremely well. I used to be a purist, but giving Doom 4 a chance made me realize it’s the only way a single player game like that would work in modern time. It’s a small price to play to rip and tear.

Made it to level 25, finally getting Gun Nut 3. Made a bunch of 5.56 and fully upgraded a combat shotgun so now I've got combat options. Got a FACTOR kitted with .50HE for long range, with its goddamn expensive rear end ammo (1 adhesive, 1 copper, 1 acid, 2 lead, 2 steel...for 12 rounds) and a full set of medium combat armor. Also finally assembled my first set of power armor (t-45) so I can do the Revere Satellite Array mission for Danse. The game certainly is different this way, that's for sure. I'm still encountering plenty of fights where I'm yelling oh poo poo oh poo poo oh poo poo or just flat out avoiding. Rescuing Valentine for example was a motherfucker.
