How would you even do a big elaborate heist mission in Fortnite. From what I remember there's a constantly moving wall of death that spawns at random(?) and forces people into a little play area on the map. Be a real pain in the rear end to be halfway through my Oceans 11 larp with the gang only to get hit by the killwall

The way "Heists" work at the moment is there are 5 vaults on the map. 1 requires 2 keys to open and spawns in around the 3rd storm phase. The other 4 are guarded by a Wild Card boss and 2 minions who will spawn at 1 location randomly on the map at the beginning of the 3nd circle. You kill those npcs and they drop a keycard you use to open the vaults in the vaults are slurp juices, 4 chests (2 are rare), and a ton of ammo and gold.

I'm going to guess the next season will have the vaults become even more important and more will be openable during matches. I'm guessing they will spawn at least 1 mythic unvaulted op gun and the slurps making it a must do activity if you want to win.

The "Heist" is also referring to the overall theme/storyline of season 4 too.

It's a circle that moves in from the edges of the map to increasingly smaller circles that are telegraphed beforehand, so if you land in an area of the map that's in the first 3 or 4 circles you've got plenty of time to gently caress around with stuff on the map

Rolling dice sucks which is why people play video games where the computer does it for you, and then you beat the game by making the dice rolls not matter.

Microsoft’s PC Game Pass arrives on Nvidia’s GeForce Now service this week

quote:

Nvidia is starting to roll out access to PC Game Pass and Microsoft Store titles on its GeForce Now streaming service this week. PC Game Pass subscribers will be able to start streaming titles through GeForce Now on August 24th, including first-party Microsoft games like Deathloop and Grounded as well as third-party titles like No Man’s Sky and Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord.

While PC Game Pass and Microsoft Store games will be available on GeForce Now, not all of them will be available to stream immediately on Nvidia’s service. Nvidia has done the work to integrate the Microsoft Store into GeForce Now, but it still needs to onboard all the games that are available on a PC Game Pass subscription.

That means PC Game Pass subscribers and anyone who has purchased a Microsoft Store game might need to wait a little while yet for their entire library to be available on GeForce Now.

Microsoft’s first Xbox games for PC started arriving on GeForce Now in May, following a deal between Microsoft and Nvidia. The companies signed a 10-year agreement that allows Nvidia to license Xbox PC games to GeForce Now as part of a broader effort from Microsoft to appease regulators over its proposed Activision Blizzard deal. The deal also includes access to Activision Blizzard titles if Microsoft completes the acquisition.

Cloud gaming has proved to be a contentious part of Microsoft’s proposed Activision Blizzard acquisition, with the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority citing it as the primary reason it blocked the deal in April. In response, Microsoft is planning to sell off its Activision Blizzard cloud gaming rights to Ubisoft in an attempt to get the deal cleared in the UK. Ubisoft will control the streaming rights to Activision Blizzard games outside of the EU and license titles back to Microsoft to be included in Xbox Cloud Gaming.

This restructured deal means that if Microsoft does close its proposed acquisition then it will not be able to release Activision Blizzard games exclusively on Xbox Cloud Gaming. Microsoft won’t be able to exclusively control the licensing terms of Activision Blizzard games on rival services either. Instead, Ubisoft will control the streaming rights to Activision Blizzard games outside of the EU, and license titles back to Microsoft to be included in Xbox Cloud Gaming.

I just read some article about legs and it said you could boost slam into enemies with the treads and stagger them so that seems cool.

In exciting news, the Battle Brothers guys are coming out with what looks like an XCOM-like:

I really enjoyed Battle Brothers, until my best run had a bug where the game froze up for like 30 seconds and when it unfroze the game had advanced ~400 years and all my guys were starving and hated me, and my last save was 2 hours previous, immediately before the hardest fight I'd ever had.

I was doing real good, too... :smith:

Do we have any idea what sort of performance to expect from AC6 on PC? I'm really hoping I can pull off 120fps with at least 1440p.

That game seems like it'll be a lot of fun. I probably won't chase high ranks or anything, but it seems much more like something I'd enjoy than Elden Ring.

It sounds like it's less taxing on a PC than Elden Ring was, though I'm interested in seeing what Digital Foundry has to say once they get to spend some time with it.

i’ve only heard good things re: performance from the people who have had a chance to play it so far. the system requirements are fairly low and it seems like it’s in a much more stable state than elden ring. the raw gameplay footage released so far also seems real smooth.

…but i find it hard to believe that from software will release a game that doesn’t at least stutter a little tho
