To those wondering about the PC version of Nier Automata: It seems like a pretty solid port. I run things at 1440p and it is not that difficult to keep it at 60fps by turning down the usual suspects (AA, shadows). I think there is a limiter that prevents you from going over 60fps even if your display can handle it. Also it is actually kind of distracting how often the game uses pre-rendered FMV cutscenes, even for a simple 5 second panning shot of the landscape, because then it becomes super framey and jagged in comparison to the normal gameplay :(

The port is kinda crappy in my experience. Full screen is busted right now and won't set the correct resolution and it has other performance issues. Running a borderless windowed tool alleviates the problems but it's lovely that you have to.

your forums account is a little too young to remember this but we actually had to evict an entire community of "ironic" pedophiles from the anime forum like 10 years ago so i don't think your case is as strong as you think it is

What you like is pedo bait. That anime is pedo bait.

Real talk, anime is fine but people who can't see a joke about anime without defending glorious Nihon and calling people weird for mocking gross anime tropes are insufferable

It's even more insufferable when people use the term anime as a negative for something that doesn't have any of the bad anime tropes

Things can be equally insufferable. At this point I've lost track of what is anime beyond actual animated Japanese cartoons. Someone tried to explain to me why Doom the video game was basically an anime once.

Doom is pretty anime if you play the hentai wads

I think Max Payne 3 is one of the best games of all time, but it's also the worst game in the series.

I think it would have been much better received if it was the first entry into a new franchise, but then the story wouldn't work as well because you need the tired protagonist that you already recognize.

Maybe they could have taken the money they spent on the Max Payne license and instead spend it on the Man on Fire license

Oh, speaking of Kingdom Hearts, there was a great conversation in my local Gamestop the other day. Some guy was asking about Kingdom Hearts Collection or whatever it's called.

Guy: So it collects 1 to 3?
Clerk: No, 3 isn't out yet, it collects 1 to 2.
Guy: So it's 2 games?
Clerk: No it's 6
Guy: :confused:

Destiny could be really good, but nobody knows how to design a fps raid boss correctly because it's still a niche that's in its infancy. They can't just toss in a bunch of WoW boss mechanics because the players have to be able to manually aim at the boss to deal damage.

There's a very good reason why the Gjallerhorn was more or less a requirement
