was a 3hr download for me. (preloaded a couple days ago)

the same thing happens in film. decades ago anyone that contributed to a project would see their name listed in the closing credits. nowadays a vendor might be allotted 100 name slots for the 300-odd people that had put some effort into realising that project. 

Our company (in film, not games) has taken this approach - meaning very few people are working the hours per week that we used to do say a decade ago. The problem that this creates is the place is far less functional in terms of communication and organisation, and finding suitable work locations for what amounts to ~…

you should stop watching any films and other creative long-form content as this component (crunching to complete it) is there also. 

But I don’t have the time that you all either have or have willed yourself to have for this. And so I’m excluded.

They claim it’s all happening in “the cloud” but it’s amusing to think they are just using local crowdsourcing, and the game is actually running on that bloke downstairs’ console in your apartment building since he’s out for the night at bingo. 

It can never work as well as having an actual console. However it only needs to work well enough for the majority of people and the games they play.

Path of Exile’s recent updates to water waves are pretty excellent too.

there’s no real RNG with Sleeper, or Whisper (other than if the Blight event is spawning, and where the guy to kill is located.)

I was actually considering a proviso stating that my thoughts on the matter were very much America-centric

that’s not corruption. it’s simply business practice.

an exiled and oddly friendly Cabal emperor named Calus turned up near the moon of Io on a planet-destroying ship called the Leviathan

apparently they were also going to be adding pay-to-win like systems for this Korean version - whereby you can purchase gear directly. Would be interesting to see if that’s the case since that would fundamentally alter the nature of the game. (and I’d see it as a bad thing that Bungie are trialing more f2p style…

so you’re going to just ignore the bit where his society has conditioned him to think that killing people is a way to solve (perceived) problems?

as soon as I hit 120 I got the urge to take a break from BFA, jump on alts and level them though earlier expansions. I’m kinda dumb like that.

yeah they did fix it to a certain degree, and to their credit they generally went above and beyond, but from what I recall the rma option to replace the cards wasn’t available to us here in NZ.

that’s the RRP for 3rd party cards versus the (higher) price of the founders editions from nVidia.

You’d likely be fine waiting to see what effect this has on the 1070 line of cards. That might provide just the boost you’re after for a number of years.

the realtime raytracing interests me more for development, rather than whether games will jump on board and use it anytime soon. eg. RTX ought to drive the time spent producing light maps within tools like Unity/Unreal down significantly, so there should be a flow on effect for all games being made, not just the ones…
