Goodnight, old Steam thread. You had a good run. Let's kick this off with some questions then: Decided to restart Witcher 3 since I haven't touched it since February 2017; had some mods installed for it with Nexus Mod Manager, but when I went to get one someone suggested and I didn't have installed, it seems now NMM is deprecated and something called Vortex took its place? Well, thing is, I tried importing my mods from NMM into this Vortex thing and it looked like it worked, but it crashes my game when trying to launch. Went back to NMM for now and I think I can add the mod I'm missing manually, but should I try and troubleshoot Vortex, or is it just not worth the effort just for W3?

Ragequit posted:I don’t think I have those installed. I also didn’t purchase the Iceborne expansion, so the 90 GB update was even more surprising. Yeah, same. No Iceborn, but after the patch the game now takes up ~25 gigs more than it used to on my ssd (I do have the high res installed but had that since before the patching), and I had to uninstall a couple games for it to actually update because of the loving ~80gb download.

Bloodplay it again posted:Controller talk So, what's the go-to controller for pc then? I'm legit asking, I love the bone controller but I already broke the left thumb in one and I'm starting to suspect the A button in the one I got to replace that one is eating inputs from time to time. I used a ps4 controller for a while between those two, but I never could get it to play 100% nice with everything. I mean, I never had it outright not work, but it would always take a bit of fiddling depending if the game had native support for DS4, if I was playing through Steam, and if DS4Windows was running. Bluetooth was also sketchy but that's probably on me, I also usually play with the controller plugged, so. It's a really good controller, it loses out to the bone in sheer "just plug it in" value.

Ragequit posted:I’m unfortunately not a fan of any Souls-type gameplay Fair enough. Bloodborne's combat plays quite a bit differently from the actual souls games because of the rally mechanic and lack of shields. Not trying to convince you, mind, it probably won't change the experience enough for you to like it if you just don't enjoy the general gameplay.

OhFunny posted:Went back and replayed from Red Square and made sure to get all the moral points from there and still got the C'est la vie ending. Thought I'd be closer since I took the gas mask off when asked, spared that rear end in a top hat what's-his-name, saved Pavel, and the bear. I even made it through the Venice without being seen and over that bridge without killing. huh, I would have said that should have gotten you the good ending (Lesnitsky is the biggest bad karma hit in the game, and Pavel/Bear should have helped), but as Xaris said: Xaris posted:The 'morality' system in Metro is definitely extremely obtuse and the weakest parts about them. that said just lookup the other ending and pretend thats what you got if you want to. So if y'all don't mind me tooting my own horn, you can see the good ending here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_ypgLl4cs8. Starts at the 9:50 mark /edit: The game locks the ending in before you actually hit it; The Little One has a bit of dialogue right at the end of Polis that changes depending on which ending you're getting: Good Ending:  Bad Ending:

Mierenneuker posted:It’s even worse in Metro Exodus. Also the first part of its ending is shared between both endings, the second part has the different outcomes. With the good ending it ends up being an emotional rollercoaster. With the bad ending it’s a just a kick in the nuts. At least for Exodus I got the good ending without having to use a bloody guide to play all the Balalaikas in the Metro.  Do you need to save all crew members to get the good ending in Exodus? I managed to pull it off but yeah; at least LL's C'est la Vie is bittersweet, the bad ending for Exodus is just a loving downer.

It feels like this thing gets crazy hot, like 80+ degrees celcius, but I want to make sure whether or not it is normal before I try fiddling with reseating the heatsink. I would like to know this as well; I made a post in the AMD thread when I just got the thing since it was idling at ~45-50C and was hitting ~72 when playing stuff, but the folks there told me it was normal and to stop worrying... But now I'm super paranoid since it's summer here and it's been running hot as all gently caress. Right now I'm just shitposting and watching YT and I'm sitting at 61C. It's been hitting peaks of ~85 with Monster Hunter World and a couple days ago I had a mild freakout because I wasn't running the temp monitor and when I checked it it had hit 92. Again, it was like 32C room temp that day, and Ryzen Master says the limit is 95, but I sure as gently caress don't like skirting that close to that. My airflow is fine afaik, got 2 front and 2 top fans and my GPU is coasting at a cozy 40-50 at high load, so I don't think my case is the issue. I've just been keeping an eye on temps like a hawk and avoiding MHW when I'm not running the AC on the hottest days, but I'm seriously thinking about getting an adapter for my old aftermarket cooler (Evo 212). /Edit: I'm running the turbo profile for all fans, everything hits 100% fan speed at 65C, so it's not that.

Yeah, thanks for the Ryzen talk. One of my friends is travelling to the States in a couple months, I'll ask them to bring over the Evo 212 "adapter" for AM4 and just install that. I'll try to avoid MonHun during the hotter summer days in the meanwhile. /edit: oh poo poo, almost forgot. Det_no, it seems MonHun is having some issues with CPU usage after Iceborne dropped, something about DRM making Windows antivirus freak out or something. Someone recommended I use Stracker's Loader and it has dropped my CPU usage from ~90% to ~40%, maybe give it a try? Edmond Dantes fucked around with this message at 14:14 on Jan 29, 2020 |

I'd like to know this as well; I've been eyeing it for a bit and would like to buy it before the price goes up, but if it's gonna be one of those "It's not EA (but it totally is)" launches where you have to wait a year to get the full thing I'm gonna be pissed.

I wrote a bunch of stuff regarding the FF14 early game revamp then hit ctrl z and lost it :< I still believe it's worth it to suffer through ARR just to get to Heavensward and then Shadowbringers (even if ARR is not actively bad, it's just... kinda bland), but considering the early game revamp is coming probably in July, I'll echo exquisite tea and recommend you hold out until then if you're interested in the game at all. Also play with people. The community for the game is all sorts of awesome, so just jump in one of the goon FCs (guilds), we take good care of our sprouts. FF12 Zodiac Age is fantastic though and I'll whole heartely recommend everyone plays it. Ciaphas posted:especially considering the loving Crystal Exarch is on there at #20 YOU TAKE THAT BACK.

Yup, that's why the base game is 2.0. 1.0 was so bad they dropped a moon on it. Quite literally, lore-wise; 2.0 starts after the Seventh Umbral Calamity, which marked the end of 1.0 (hence A Realm Reborn)

Oxxidation posted:iirc the baddies in the original pre-reboot FFXIV tried to defeat the good guys by dropping the moon on them, except the moon, to their surprise, turned out to be a prison containing Bahamut, who in this universe is a dragon slightly smaller than a moon and oh boy did he wake up in a foul mood The moon, to their surprise, turned out to be a prison containing Bahamut who they were using as a battery. There's a raid series at the end of ARR (Binding Coil of Bahamut) which explains all the shenanigans Allag got around to regarding Bahamut. It's also not mandatory (actually super easy to miss if you don't know it's there) and impossible to matchmake for at this point in time. You can still just go in there with a handful of level 80s and destroy the raid if you want to see the story and cutscenes, I ran my boss through them this past weekend with the help of some other goons. /edit: fun fact: during the last stretch of 1.0 you could actually see Dalamud (the moon prison) getting bigger in the sky as it hurled towards Eorzea:

So how's the MS Gamepass thing? It's kinda cheap here (~US$3) and it has quite a few games I wouldn't mind playing but don't have any intention of paying full price for. I know about the weird inaccesible folder issue, but other than that?

Re: MS Game Pass Thanks everyone. Sounds pretty much like what I had in mind; there's a bunch of games in there that I want to play but I don't see myself going back to after I'm done (say, Gears 4-5) so I wouldn't mind losing access to them when I invariably let my subscription lapse.

Mad Max is fine as long as you: 1) Beeline main story for the Harpoon before you do any side content. 2) Don even think about 100%ing it (particularly avoid the scrap points in the map, can't remember the name but they're worthless). 3) Just stop playing when you're not having fun anymore.

Let's see if someone can help me out here: I was playing Synthetik with a fellow goon (which is loving fantastic, btw), and there's a... passage? in one of the in-game tracks that sounds super similar to something else (like 95% sure it's from another game involving shooting), but I can't figure out what and it's driving me insane. Track starts at 23:49 in this video, the bit that I'm trying to figure out what the hell reminds me of is at 24:03 exactly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19bwPlaqFKY I thought Payday 2 for a second? But if it was that, I can't find the track.

There were some comments in the past few pages, but I just discovered the GoG Galaxy integration thing and... this poo poo kinda rules? It picked up everything from all my platforms efforelessly, ports played time/cheevos over, I can install/uninstall from here, see all the available MS game pass games and just launch/manage everything from a single place. I tried PlayNite at some point but it kept duplicating some games (Origin for the most part) and kept detecting uninstalled games. It doesn't look half bad either. I think I just found my launcher manager.
