From all the DLC comments I just have one question.

Yeh. Forgot the name, but that's totally him.

I found out knives were amazing in RE4 after shooting all of my ammo at a boss, only to knife him in a few hits afterwards. I promptly reloaded and kept all my ammo.

Could be, but our students have at least 4 of those across the second, third and fourth year.

Really good stuff for a team of 7 in 14 weeks. Any word on how much experience they had with UE4 going into the project? I'll be showing this to other student groups working on UE4 to give them an example of what other students are capable of.

Maybe that's why it's called the Hinterlands. It's the area that creates a lingering feeling in the back of your mind.

Really wondering if those visual fx can be toned down at all. Sometimes it becomes very jarring and visually exhaustive to look at. Great for a teaser like this, obviously.

Thought I'd combine this with something else. Still open to suggestions about what could be more "I don't care that you're lying there naked" than a full-blown pencil-art of a nature scene, back turned and all.

And of course naming stuff is amazing!

One thing that surprised me was the inclusion of camps you can conquer, instead of just setting them up in an open field. I ran into a keep that was occupied, and fought my way through it in about 15 minutes. After that, it's a pretty big camp with crafting stations as well. Really loving how this game rewards…

A friend of mine told me it ended and asked me to describe the final fight, in terms of characters, abilities used and final outcome.

As far as I could tell, turning off VSync solved most mouse issues I was having. At least it made the lag that remained very minor. I've heard it's a problem with games that don't use raw mouse input data, and Windows 8.1 changed the way mouse input is handled causing the lag. Fix is apparently incoming from MicroSoft.

Quake 3 Team Arena, mostly Inner Sanctum and Vortex Portal.

I actually think arbitrary data caps are more of an issue than speed difference in this regard. Downloading a 50GB digital game is a pretty big problem for people with a 50GB transfer cap.

Yeh, counting on it! My HD6970 3GB has held up amazingly well for over 3 years, but I'm expecting next year's games to start forcing me to medium spec.

Hmm... seems disabling GPU video decode in chrome://flags does the trick. Guess I'll stick to just getting a new GPU then, heh...

Guess my system is starting to show its age. Can't properly play the 1080p version. Probably a CPU bottleneck. Does it work better with CUDA? Anyway, my GPU is almost 4 years old now, and the CPU's a 3570K. Maybe I should upgrade the whole thing next year instead of just getting a 970...

Since Quake 3 is on the list, I would definitely suggest also checking out Team Arena. It doesn't warrant a place on the list as is, because most of it isn't very interesting, but it offers a great expansion of Q3's multiplayer with some interesting team mechanics.

The ones I know personally are students aged 19-21, but I fear it runs deeper on some level. Mostly due to willful ignorance. I know some older friends that are 30ish, that have simply never been confronted with any kind of privilege, so they're all too ready to jump onto a bandwagon like this, and they wouldn't even…

I mostly use achievements to track my progress through a single player game without spoiling myself. A lot of these games have about 50% of the achievements locked into just finishing them, and doing a random thing here or there.
