Thanks for the advice. Got my DS3 working on my PC with SCP, works like a charm. Had a crashing issue after about 5-10 minutes because of low memory (8 gigs of RAM, wasn’t using anywhere near all of it) - The problem was apparently too small a page file (it was at 2 gigs max) so I upped it, at the advice of the…

I’m contemplating getting this (and DS3). Question: is it playable with a mouse and keyboard? I’m the kind of guy who had no complaints or problems with playing witcher 2 and 3 with kb/m. I’ve heard DS1 on PC is a little sloppy with the port, or at least was at release. If I were to get a controller, is the…

Same question here. According to kotaku’s benchmark article I should be cakewalking 60 fps, but a lot of negative steam reviews and comments in that very same article make me worry. I’ve heard fps issues and crashing, but not from everyone. I saw some people got it fixed by tweaking the processor affinity, which is a…

Sure, pushing a mouse and typing may not be hard physical labor in that yes, you are physically capable of working 80 hour weeks for months, as he says, but there’s more to productivity than just wriggling your fingers. I wonder how many man hours have been spent fixing bad design decisions and bugs that he injected…

They say do the first 70 seconds, how do you compare over those same seconds?

What resolution, what are your other specs, do you have the latest drivers, are you monitoring other things going on in the background, etc.? Since obviously no, they didn’t just do the test on the main menu, the prudent question would be why you’re different.

It’s happened. A murderous rampage got me to #5, my peak so far.

Competitive 500+ multiplayer snake with variable speed snakes that can cross themselves. It’s surprisingly complex.

Just played it for the first time and got top 40! Had a few close calls before I realized there was a PvP element. I’m too nice to target someone unless they target me first, and then they’re doomed!

Minsc is a brain damaged warrior who shouts catchphrases and silly lines. Don’t get me wrong, I love Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2, and have spent more hours than I want to consider playing them, but Misnc is beloved precisely because his lines are played for laughs and little else. I don’t remember if he has any modern…

Right? If every game was a Witcher 3 or Baldur’s Gate, we’d all play two games a year and be too burned out for anything else. Some games are 200 hours and require significant time investment to learn the mechanics. Some games aren’t. The earlier Uncharteds were probably more linear than desirable (and I don’t think 1…

Really? The first 15 minutes of Dig are jetting around in space but the rest is a classic adventure game with (hard!) puzzles and characters on an alien planet. Puzzles and characters sounds like the opposite of this.

I think you may have mixed them up. The raptor had both better shields and armor, and was faster than the scimitar (I even just checked!). If you lose some missions, you get dumped back in a scimitar as punishment!

I spent 60% of my childhood watching a progress bar and anticipating the instruction to insert the next disk.

Raptor was a heavy fighter. Broadswords were bombers. Raptors were the “best” ship in Wing Commander 1 until the Rapier was introduced towards the end.

That was just copy protection, lots of old games did stuff like that. Any chance you’re thinking of Red Storm Rising?

331 bytes of instructions. Presumably (I haven’t seen the video), it’s leveraging the game’s already existing rendering engine and graphics assets.

I don’t think of my vision as particularly bad (as in, corrects to 20/20 no problem, nothing special about it) but I can’t comfortably read a book at anything resembling a normal distance without glasses or contacts. If I do lean in close to read, because one eye is better than the other it’s really...weird. And will…

He cares because he thinks it’s a misallocation of their talent. They’re publicly working on a product. Free or not it’s perfectly reasonable for the public to have feedback. And they’re allowed to ignore or heed as desired. If my farts cured malaria, I’d be free to live in Canada but maybe, just maybe, it would be…

I’m right with ya. Nearly 200 hours of Witcher 3, then I fired up Divinity: OS and my brain was frazzled. I broke it up with Rise of the Tomb Raider. 30 hours, some light collecting, and I’m right as rain.
