For 1080p? Nah. For 1440p/VR? Yes.

I will co-sign this. I went from a 970 to a 1070 to a 1080ti. Realistically and objectively, it was probably not worth it, but I play on a GSync 1440p monitor, as well as having an Oculus Rift so it was more "future-proofing" than anything. The only stuff I noticed a huge difference on was like, more frames in GTA 5 cranked up all the way.

I'm interested in game criticism but dont know where to start. Mostly print. Are there any good sites or books that dig a little deeper than your run of the mill ign review.

Im thinking something similar to film theory.

Is Suikoden Tierkreis for DS worth hunting down?

Is it even connected to the main series storywise? Does it have headquaters? How is the gameplay compared to the originals?

Posted this picture so you know which one I'm talking about. Is this something I could use for PC games? I hooked it up to my Windows 10 PC, and it does detect the controller, but when I booted up wolfenstien 2, it didn't detect the controller. Haven't tried any other games yet, but Wolfenstein 2 is kinda the main game right now I wanted to try and play, and as someone who usually plays on consoles, I just hated trying to use mouse/keyboard.

How were the console ports of Syndicate?

I only ever played the PC version.

I seem to remember you could use a mouse with some of them or maybe I'm thinking of Syndicate:Wars.

It's quite bad. The voice acting seemingly had the pauses edited out for space concerns, soeverylineisliterallyreadlikethis. It's all alternate universe stuff iirc, with no connection to the main series. Don't even remember headquarters. Battle system is fine from what I remember.

In what region does a pre-ordered digital PS4 game unlocks first?

Let's say that a game releases worldwide on the same day, what region will get the game first? Countries like Australia or New Zealand? And even if i live in a different region (like Brazil, which is where i live) if i purchase digital games on the PS Store from those regions will the game unlock at the same time as from the people that live there too?

Cause games that i pre-order on the PS Store and have pre-load always unlocks at 2AM for me, but i've seen some people from around the world getting their games unlocked way before mine

Yeah, think I'll pass on it

Playing through Suikoden 5 and was wishing for a game that takes place in either Armes (where the "barbarians" comes from or the Germany sounding region that the Lindwurm Cavalery is from.
Doesn't sound like a game worth $60-150 to me.
Thanks for the reply!

Was there a performance improvement in Pokémon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, over Pokémon Sun/Moon on the n3DS?

I have noticed when battling Totem Pokémon, the particle effects would slow down the game in Pokémon Sun/Moon, but was stable smooth in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.

Starting to look for a gaming desktop, I'm noticing that computers with AMD CPUs and GPUs are cheaper than Intel/Nvidia ones of similar performance level. So what is the downside of going AMD?

Honestly not much on the CPU side. Ryzen is great bang for your buck esp if you're multitasking like streaming/video editing along with gaming. GPU wise Id recommend Nvidia though. From what Ive read, Vega didn't turn out that great.

My combo is a Ryzen 1500 with a 1050Ti and its excellent. Way better graphics and performance than PS4. Love it

I think you need to use Bluetooth to connect rather than with USB

In MGSV, How do you open doors when you're standing besides a wall. Like when snake goes into auto-cover mode when you press up against a wall. I try to inch up as close to the door but it won't open. Lost an entire base cause 2 jackoffs stood in such a stupid angle while guarding a prisoner.

I'm about to step into Breath of The Wild which will end up being the first Zelda I play. Any tips or things I ought to know before starting? I've often had a bad track record when I jump into new series of playing games wrong for a while, is there much of a risk with this?

BotW more than many games out there is about just doing what you want. The game is designed around facilitating whatever the player wants to do for the most part. If you think something should work, it probably will work.
That said, while you can go anywhere you want after the initial tutorial area, I'd stick the main quest until you get the camera. While not strictly necessary, it's useful to have and be aware of the things that will show up on the way to that point.

Is it allowed to make threads about own video game related projects such us, a website, soundtrack, kickstarter campaign or video game in development to make people and gamers aware of that project to get more support and feedback from gamers and the projects target group?

Would be great if a Moderator would also answer this question :)

From the FAQ:

There's an indie developer thread.

Thanks! I'll go with that suggestion just to try make sure. I remember with Fallout 3 - my first RPG - that I just went my own way and spent 20 hours randomly exploring and doing sidequests, and then I got so lost from the main quest that I never went back, just need to ensure I don't go down that path again.

If I:

* Have never played either Gravity Rush game, but intend to.
* Am a stickler for playing series in order, so would want to play through 1 before playing 2 (ideally with a bit of time between the two as a palate-cleanser)
* Am aware I have a July deadline for server shutdown on GR2's online content

So, in other words, if I'm going from a very standing start, is getting total completion of GR2 - including online unlockables - viable without burning out on the game?

Edit: Oh, and I've just started Xenoblade Chronicles 2, so I'm also curious whether GR is different enough to fit playing concurrently, or if I should postpone the start until I'm in the XC2 endgame.

Soooo, this version of Resident Evil Revelations doesn't have RER2 correct, it's only the first one? I'm pretty sure it's the case, it's just bothering me that its been released recently, thought it would be a compilation.

Will buying a Dolby Atmos for Headphones license on Xbox One allow me to use it on PC as well if I use the same microsoft account on both? Or vice versa? Or does each license only cover one platform?

If you're able to start on the first installment pretty soon, I would say that it's viable to have everything unlocked before the server shutdown in the summer. Just be forewarned that you might have to dig deeper into your wallet on the chance you'd prefer a hard copy of the remaster in the States. It was released exclusively through Amazon and second-hand sellers tend to ask close to the cost of a new release or more ($60+) since it has gone out of print for about a year-and-a-half now. Alternatives do exist between PAL and Asia territories which support English subtitles, too.

Anyway, it usually takes about ten hours to complete the main story on the first installment with about double that time if you're aiming for a Platinum trophy. The sequel runs between two-to-three times that length with the main story taking about 20 hours, approximately 30 hours with added side-quests, and 55+ hours for full completion. Based on the best of my knowledge, none of the Dusty Token unlockables are tied to trophies. They're basically a point system that rewards interaction with the minimal amount of Net activities scattered in the open-world like treasure hunts, photo sharing and player challenges. You'll presumably just lose the ability to unlock the extra costumes, gestures and home accessories for your hideout which are all cosmetic, but I do confess they add charm to the world and offer some decent variety given the total length. I think the final reward for the Dusty system is a talisman that allows you to fly around with unlimited gravity and the online aspect does ease talisman hunting which is tied to the trophies. Basically, players that die down in the mining realms, an optional section for grinding, will drop their equipped items which allows you to gather rare material faster than after the server shuts down. Hope these details help out!

Correct, it isn't a compilation with the second spin-off installment. Only the Nintendo Switch received a collection with both games since it was a budget release; however, RER2 isn't actually available on the cartridge as a result of size limitations. The first Revelations was simply released a standalone title on PS4/XBO since Capcom spent the past year or so gradually porting the remainder of the series. RER2 had already debuted on both consoles earlier at the beginning of the generation.

The what's new section on my PS4 only shows updates from people I'm following but not from my friends list, it's been like this for 6 months now. Is this on Sony or have I done something stupid on my PS4 to change this?

Hmm, are you're friends listed in the "following" section too?

You automatically follow someone when you become friends but maybe you have that switched off somehow.

Thanks, there's a ton of useful info there. I already have the games, so that's not an issue, and I'll probably start soonish, when I fancy a change of pace from XC2.

Does the controller show up in the controller configurator for Big Picture Mode? It probably uses DirectInput by default and will need to emulate x-input through BPM for most games to make any use of it. Alternatively, you might need a bluetooth adapter as someone else mentioned. At least, that would be the case for the official Nintendo Pro Controller.

Is there something local I can download? I prefer that to web based.
