Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:I think more than anything, they done hosed up because the game is just plain lovely. Dungeon Siege 3 had some redeemable qualities to it. Sacred 3 is just a poo poo game. If it was a different kind of game from the first two but still good, there would still be crybabies but they wouldn't get as much hate. Why didn't they refocus their development if making a game like Sacred 2 nearly ruined them? You'd think making smaller games of different types that fit your capability better would be the right decision, not trying to make a Sacred sort of game but with all the things that are hard to develop stripped out.

A game that is so insistent on its co-op mechanics that when someone isn't playing the partner a stupid AI plays it. That's not forced co-op. Right.

Delusibeta posted:More or less. First time round, Left 4 Dead 2 flew above their rating system (making it illegal to sell over there) and had to be cut fairly significantly to fit into the M18 rating. Now there's a higher rating (R18) and the uncensored version got it. Hence, uncensorship DLC. Slight correction, the old highest rating for games was MA15+, the new one introduced is R18+ which brings it in line with other media. Anything above the maximum rating gets refused classification, effectively making it illegal, rather than just unrated. Funny fact, in the state that I live in, not long after the R18 game rating was introduced, a law was passed to make it illegal to sell R18 anything in the same section as lower rated media. Coincidence? No. No it wasn't.

Morter posted:Oh poo poo, finally something to spend my hard earned cash on rather than mediocre FPSs! It's a spectacle fighter, just like the DMC games, and is in some ways even more technically complex than them. If you're bad at those games to the point of not enjoying them, playing Metal Gear Rising is kind of a bad idea. You could always just chuck it on easy and play through one of the best/insane games of the last decade though.

Alien Isolation seems like something you'll either love or loving hate based on your tolerance for instant death stealth mechanics, so it's not surprising it's dividing some critics. By the way, for people playing Shadow of Mordor, is anyone having v-sync issues? I've tried forcing v-sync in drivers or with d3d overrider but they don't work, and I don't wanna use the in-game v-sync because it's goddamn horrible, the game keeps dropping from 60 to 30fps without anything in between and it's instant, plus it's random too, it doesn't happen in the same place. Plus I've turned it off to see what the place it dropped to 30fps at is running at without v-sync on and it was like 67fps. It'd be great if there was some way to not use their terrible v-sync option.

Alien is really, really good but totally uncompromising in its design. It ain't no babby game. I don't really know where else to post about this, but I've been trying to play Deadly Premonition as of late, but the framerate is completely buggered. I've got DPfix installed and poo poo and I've tried going straight vanilla, but the framerate is still hosed. Basically what happens is it'll start up running smooth at 60fps, then it'll hitch and eventually drop to 30fps and never go back up, then eventually it drops to 20fps and never goes back up. Googling around and looking at the steam forums just has a bunch of people going "restart your pc! it'll fix it!" but that does nothing. I'd be happy with 30fps, I'm not too fussed, but 20fps with the hitching and poo poo is pretty loving awful. I just want it to run better than the 360 version. Anyone know how to fix this poo poo? I've tried increasing the process priority and screwing around with how many cores the game uses. Curiously, the game defaults to 1 core, but if I tell it to use 4 it still runs like poo poo.

Eruonen posted:Try toggling vsync and AA. I had problems with both of those if I recall correctly. This is super weird, but I ran radeonpro while the game was running, and whenever I hit the toggle v-sync button the frame rate shoots back up. It continues to fall gradually, but still, it's strange behaviour. I also had some GPU stats going and apparently the game is using 100% of my GPU at about 800MHz (I have the internal rendering resolution set to 3840x2160), but for some reason the GPU's clock keeps falling, which is what I assume is the reason why the game is running like poo poo. As the frame rate falls I saw my GPU falling down to 600MHz. The core temp was like 15C degrees under its throttling temp too. I started to think something was wrong with my computer, so I loaded up Crysis 3 only to find it was running at 60fps at max, falling to 45 in large areas. So there's nothing wrong with my system, but my video card is behaving very strangely while playing Deadly Premonition. I wonder why.

Sivek posted:Most of the game is suplexing/kicking mooks and finding hidden trinkets to sell to buy gun upgrades. There are only a few puzzles in the game and none of them are very hard. The boss fights kind of suck since most of them have QTE stuff you have to deal with, then again, the game has a ton of QTE's in general. It's also like the only game where the escort parts don't bother me any. I actually played through the whole game yesterday and was surprised by how much it still owns. I mean, it'll look dated gameplay wise on the surface because of the tank controls and poo poo, which they tried to modernise with subsequent sequels, but it's actually a really mechanically complex game with some of the best 3rd person shooter combat there is. I love the whole interplay of crowd control when shooting certain body parts. I mean, do you shoot someone in the face and risk a melee range kick? Or do you shoot them in the foot to knock them over while you deal with someone else? It's something almost entirely absent from The Evil Within which sucks because it's the best thing about RE4. It's also a hilarious game, I forgot how funny it was. "Your right hand comes off?"

Technetium posted:Far Cry 4 is good whereas I keep hearing AC Unity is not as fun as Black Flag and is also full of bugs and badly optimized. AC: unity loving SUCKS, it's probably the worst AC apart from the first. Far Cry 4 all the way. This is a pretty cool steam sale so far, lots of stuff I want. I'll probably grab Lords of the Fallen first. Steam reviews seem mixed but the streams I've watched of it look pretty good.

Kin posted:For those not aware, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is also 75% off. Even though it doesn't appear in the daily list i doubt it's gonna get a bigger reduction than that. I actually quite liked the first Lords of Shadow, even though it's a bad God of War, but the second one kiiiiiiiinda sucks. The plot kinda goes to poo poo, the levels are too long and there's forced stealth bits that just blow, and I remember the basic combat system being similar to the first but worse with added systems that just make it less fun to play. It tries to do the Symphony of the Night thing with the level design but utterly fails.

Rookersh posted:The first few chapters are great, the middle chapters are alright, and then it suddenly decides to become an action shooter/turret shooter without offering gameplay that supports it, so the entire backhalf is terrible. I'd argue the first 2 or so chapters of The Evil Within are the worst part with only the middle being the decent part. Both the beginning and end parts suck bad. PSA, it's a weird, insane game that becomes endearing, but it shits all over you in the back half and will probably make you angry when you finish it. It's also kind of janky which is weird considering the rock solid mechanical awesomeness of RE4. It's probably Shinji's weakest game. Play Shadows of the Damned instead.

Great Joe posted:Could someone please explain how? Some games tie logic to the framerate such as collision detection, forcing games to run in framerates they're not programmed for can, at best, make poo poo break, and at worst, not work at all. The thing that galls me though is half the goddamn games on that stupid loving list are 2D indie games where the framerate isn't an issue. Does anyone care that luftrausers doesn't run at 60fps? Does anyone loving NOTICE? But that's cool, totalbiscuit, use your hugely popular platform to poo poo on developers and games for no good reason, I'm sure your army of drooling morons not supporting 2D indie developers isn't a big deal. cat doter fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Jul 17, 2015 |

The annoying thing is it's an idea that, in theory, is really smart. I've accidentally bought 3D games that are restricted to 30fps, it's annoying and I'd like to be able to avoid it. But the implementation of the idea isn't smart, it's aimless. Why would you use a platform like that to basically name and shame 2D games, who gives a poo poo that nuclear throne doesn't run at 60fps? Is there really someone clamoring for information about 2d indie game's framerates? I mean, aside from slowdowns or framerate drops.

theultimo posted:Oh yeah, somehow ffviii has a 15 fps combat framerate? I think his testing methodology is off, from what I've seen in FFVIII, seem 30fps always. But again, it's an RPG, who the gently caress really cares It drops to 15fps in battles, it's a weird holdover from the playstation version since the console couldn't handle those 3D models at a higher framerate and that's just the way the game is programmed. It's unfortunate that it can't be fixed but whatever, it's not really an issue. It's an old game, you've gotta expect quirks.

Zombie Samurai posted:Steam Thread: The violent audacity of launching full screen No, not really, game framerates and motion work completely different to how movies work (movies use cameras, they're an exposure of light for fractions of a second, each frame contains a certain amount of light information depending on shutter speed, games don't work like that). My issue with it is that it just doesn't matter. Maybe it's an aesthetic choice, maybe it's a technical one. Whatever. it's irrelevant.

However he's a big baby who can't handle criticism and doesn't want anyone to call him out for making a political curator so he's trying to pass it off as a utilitarian emotionless list so you have stuff like the dire warning that oh no Cloning Clyde is locked to 30.

DARKSEID DICK PICS posted:I don't know about FF8, but for FF7 there is actually a mod to fix this (because of a timing bug that makes the slot machine skills near-impossible to use in the port). All that mod does is restore how the game functions on the PS1 properly, the UI updates correctly at 60hz while the 3D models still update at 15fps. It was probably easier to just make the whole game run at 15fps during battles for the PC port but luckily that mod fixes that. Gestalt Intellect posted:A few people have brought up nuclear throne being on the list so I'll just say that the frame rate actually is a huge flaw in that game. It's a super fast paced action game so the 30 FPS not only hurts the visual quality and feel of the game but also makes it more difficult to react when the gameplay is mostly reflexes. Not saying the group isn't really dumb but independent of whatever it says, nuclear throne's frame rate is a legitimate complaint about it. Really? That's a bummer. It's still early access though so it might get fixed. Thing is though, it's entirely possible to have the game to take control updates at 60hz while the game itself runs at 30. It'd fix the control issues even if visually it's still at 30. That's another reason that group is stupid.

MT framework is an interesting engine since all those games were made for the PC then ported to the consoles, so they essentially already ran on PC. Well, their dev platform PCs that likely all have identical hardware but you get what I mean.

Mr. Fortitude posted:I have to wonder if Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen coming to PC is a way of Capcom to gauge interest in a potential Dragon's Dogma Online localization. Probably, it's likely less work to get it up and running since they'd just have to make sure it supports a wider array of hardware and maybe fix some bugs and make sure it supports new OSs. Other than that there's already a PC codebase if they made it on MT framework. Far less expensive than building a new code branch from scratch.

Polo-Rican posted:We bought it last night and played for a bit. The concept is incredible and I've been super excited to try it out for a long time. Unfortunately, once you sit down and actually start playing, it becomes apparent that the concept doesn't really translate to amazing gameplay. It's simultaneously sluggish and hectic. It's not bad at all, in fact I still recommend the game, it's just not what I thought it would be. I guess if people go into it knowing it's super intense and challenging then it'll probably find its audience, I'm not really into that sorta thing though.
