I played the original Kingdom, lasted about an hour before I gave up on it. I didn't care for how little control you have over things. Your AI minions are stupid and will eventually be your downfall because they can't follow orders or make correct decisions.

New Lands appears to be that same game with some additional visual flourish and maybe more features, I dunno. There's also Kingdom: Two Crowns which came out in 2018 - which also appears to be, again, largely the same game.

2k and 1440 are the same thing, right?

baka kaba posted:

like basically 2K and 4K are video production standards, they're a little wider than the closest resolutions we use in displays - 2K is 2048 x 1080, so that's almost what we call 1080p/i (officially it's called FHD), but it's not the same. UHD is what we call "4K", but it's different - you basically double the dimensions in each case, so real 4K is still that bit wider

except there's another UHD that's double that so they get called 4K UHD and 8K UHD lol


how much easier do you want it!

Completely serious question: is Thief Simulator any good? It looks like euro-jank garbage that got churned out of the same factory that makes a million farm/lumberjack/pet store simulation games every year, but the name keeps coming up and apparently it's actually kinda-sorta fun?

I’m pretty sure Sony is letting some exclusives go to PC because the PS4 is at end of life, and the PS5 is going to be backwards compatible. You give a market a taste of what’s out on it, and then maybe they’ll get the PS5 to see what they missed and maybe grab the PS5 exclusives.

Hey, I just noticed I'm sitting on a bunch of packs of cards. Are trading cards still A Thing or did the bottom drop out on that market completely? I haven't PC gamed in about two years, in case you're wondering the magnitude of my confusion.

Wow turning up the SSAA and Tessellation in Metro Last Light really brings GPUs to their knees.

How is that going to work on the PC? Drawing with a mouse is godawful.

All of Z, from Raditz to Buu. Though the adapted story is cut down in spots and then padded out with original content weirdly. I've heard the Android/Cell saga is missing some iconic moments, but I've only gotten as far as the intermission after Freeza.

We've been approaching various limits of physics with the current technology. We know ways to push semiconductors further, but we easily hit the point where if it's possible for your workload to go wide, it's cheaper and more efficient. PC CPUs are sort of a sideshow, especially at this point the real driving forces behind semiconductor technology are mobile/embedded and servers/big compute, both of which care more about production cost and power efficiency than they do about scaling frequency on a single core.

e - it's also worth pointing out that performance at a given frequency has gone way up since Crysis's release. It's just a game that is very prone to bottlenecking in certain ways.

Just mentioning a Dead Rising boss gives me minor PTSD.

WEEEELLLLLLLLLL HE AINT MY BOY BUT THE BROTHA IS HEAVY

Dead Rising 2's bosses are actually worse. Each is more rage-inducing than the last. I'm pretty sure the whole thing is a troll of some kind.

None that I know of. You can pay in any currency you please, really. I know I've paid for stuff both in dollars and in euros by accident. As long as you pay, they don't really care too much.

You probably won't be able to pay with more than one currency at a time even if you've got multiple types of account balance on there, though, I don't think. If that is even possible.

Orv posted:

Not so much as any currency you receive will auto-convert to the home region of your account.

Headcrabs showed up so I grabbed a bucket and proceeded to hold it up and shoot from behind it and blocked the headcrabs whenever they made an attempt for my head. Alyx owns.

Good to know. I will be getting a Ryzen 5 3600X in the future, so I'll definitely hold off for now if it's CPU intensive.

I heard about the rather disappointing reviews for RE3 and from playing the first 10 minutes or so, it's everything I hate about aaa games. Super scripted, hobbling around without real control of the character and an inability to do anything, a bunch of action cutscenes you just watch, tons of screen-shaking, ~cinematic walk and talk~. It's unreal how bad it is unless you like that sort of thing.

What happened Capcom? I hope it gets better.

Dear Capcom:

The game over sequence in RE2make where Claire's throat get ripped out by a zom is about 5 seconds too long. Next time it happens hopefully hammering the buttons will let me skip that sadistic poo poo

Yeah thinking that blowing away a whole town in Fallout 2 is a mistake I think we all made once. Let's wait around 10 minutes for each brahmin to move.
