Playing rocket league for the first time, the game seems to stutter a lot, anyone know a cause for this? High or low settings don't do anything, framerate never drops either. AMD 7870, i5.

i've been tracking MGSV on steamspy since release, and since like maybe mid-october, it has been unable to break out of the mid-700,000s in terms of units sold. it sways maybe 20k either way.

to my surprise, even with the autumn sale, the game has gone as high as 780,000, but busted back down to the 750,000s not long after. i don't think i've ever seen a case of a game going as stagnant during sales as this.

First thing I noticed before the girl was the spider, well to me it was a spider.

I am on mobile so I had to click to load, saw the pink before the girl.

I'm sorry. If it's any consolation I can't unsee it either.

They'd barely be out of the tutorial and into proper gameplay within the two hour return window. Wouldn't blame them for regretting the purchase at that point--the game does itself no favours initially.

I barely spent $20, worst sale ever.
On the other hand, I ended up buying a Wii U...

God damn it, is SGSSAA really so expensive?

I can do Tales of Zestira in 4kp60 with everything set to high, including enhanced shadows. GPU utilization hovers around 60-80%, but it generally doesn't drop frames.

But I can't do 1080p60 with SGSSAA x4 enabled. There's one scene (entrance to Wind Temple) which tanks my framerate hard, and I've been having some random slowdowns during the fights.

Thing is, 1080pSGSSAA looks way better than 4kpFXAA
Way less temporal aliasing in some scenes, way less jaggies.
I thought 4k was an automatic way to have best image quality... What gives?
Click to expand...
Super Sampling is always expensive :(

OH FUCK
Forgot to get Lost Planet 2 @_@ (It's not sold in my region but I can get it from other regions or Amazon if gifted)
Hope it goes on sale for the Winter Seal though.

It's not on amazon, and its keys anywhere else are GFWL, not Steam IIRC.
But otherwise on the same boat as you :p

Why are people excited for ne TMNT game from Platinum? It is Activision funded game and that means low budget release that Platinum took to keep studio alive. Like they did with all Activision published games. It would probably be good game but smaller scale and scope.

I didn't played it yet,but Transmorphatrons is supposedly very, very good. And korra was more than fine as well for its pricetag.
There is no reason not to be excited.

The trophy rarity thing was a really cool innovation on Sony's part. Seeing the completion percentages is always so interesting

Too many bad impressions post release, I guess.
Cheaters in FOB, 'unfinished' state of the game, repetitive chapter 2, FOB insurance, etc. Words like that got spread easily on the Internet. Well, I don't even have the urge to actually finish the game after hearing that chapter 2 and ending impressions. Watched the ending on youtube instead.

Because nostalgia.
But yeah, I don't really expect anything huge from them for 2016, as they're already focusing on Nier 2 & Scalebound. It'll be just another low-mid budget and short game like Korra and Transformers.

Steam community hub for MGSV is hilarious: cheaters with 16 nukes and 2000 S++ soldiers crying because they get invaded.

Anyway on PC we won't unlock the secret ending, like never: yesterday I stole 4 nukes from a dude owning 12 of them, I hour after he had again 12 nukes.

Didn't stop me from enjoying TF Devastation. Or for various GAFfers to put 30+ hours into that game.
I like short games and really the classic Konami beat'em-ups were short anyways.
Even if the budget is low, gameplay is king and Platinum are sure to deliver.

FO4 is so much fun though. :p
Now that you remind me, I have to play Korra soon. It's been sitting on my backlog since the summer sale.
Click to expand...

Either GAF is messing up or someone's joking around lol.
Honestly FO4 has a One Punch Man mod that's another reason for me to get it
When it is $5 :3

Til then I'll get around to playing and finishing Fallout NV.

I advise anyone playing Korra to do a lot of drugs or drink a lot while playing in hopes that you forget about it and keep your love of platinum intact

The modding scene will be CRAZY. The official modding tool isn't out yet, but there are amazing mods out there already. Dozens of mods published each day.

Why wRPGs are so overly complicated?

And this is the reason why we got DA: Inquisition and Fallout 4. People just don't bother to read and learn mechanics of wrpgs.

it's pretty bad.. but I never watched the cartoon so I didn't have fan goggles on while playing. It got a little bit better once you have access to all your powers but the game pretty much ends right after that... really dumb
