In the past month or so I've played through TLAOU, Uncharted 1 and 2, and just started UC3 on PS4 and it's been very good. I've enjoyed those more than the newer open world games like Horizon and GoW (linear with OW-elements).

Edit: lol, top of the page. Yes, this is the PC community thread.

I really need to catch up on my Atelier games on vita.
Still whatever that KT doesn't like putting the series on sale for usually no more than 40% off.

Alright, it is settled then. Getting the GoW Bundle with TLOU and Bloodborne. Thanks fam

Kinda crazy that GoW will be my first 2018 released game I play. My GOTY list is going to be rather short.

I need to Platinum Bloodborne sometime. Game of the generation. Looking forward to FromSofts next Playstation project, but it will probably be on PS5.

Btw, if you have a PS3 you should get the GoW collection. They are amazing games. Not long either.

Good choice. Bloodborne very quickly rose to the top of my favourite lists since it shares a lot of elements that I like in Dark Souls 1 that the sequels didn't continue. The Last of Us isn't quite the life changing event that people have talked it up to be, especially not when played for the first time in 2018, but it is a very good game.

Anyone has experience with the Zowie mices? I hear great things and wanted to get some feedback from here before I get serious and buy myself one.

Thanks!
They're vastly inferior to the last two gens of Logitech mice. The new Logitech wireless ones use some black magic that makes them have lower input lag than wired mice. Literal black magic. I have a 2 gen old wired one that's still not been surpassed by zowie. Akronis had some issues with the current general build quality I think.

Can you hook me up with a link with these mices that you speak of, good sir?

Haven't played The Last of Us, but I really enjoyed the Uncharted games (1-3), but I can't say some of them "aged" well, since they did have some technical limitations that you could notice even back when they first came out. They aren't the bestest games ever but they definitely aren't "games that play itself" people on this site and gaf liked to say, that's a bunch of bullshit. The problem about "fanboy" culture is that people exaggerate things to the max.

I respectfully disagree, it looks pretty darn good for me

Environments look alright, I just have issues with some of the character models like Orchid, they aren't very detailed close up, while some other ones do look fine. I think the only thing demanding is the particle effects

FYI if you own Superhot now you'll get Mind Control Delete for free when it leaves early access. So only buy it now if playing it a few months early is worth $10. And yeah, it looks like a roguelike expansion with classes and power-ups. Vanilla Superhot is a bit brief if you don't dive into the challenge stuff so the bigger better replayable expansion is looking pretty sweet.

Huh, why Orchid? She's one of the characters from the first season and I think her close-ups is one of the best in game, her moveset and animations are very good:
Some late characters from Season 3 are much worse, for example, Eagle and Shin Hisako have absolutely emotionless faces when they getting their ass beaten up during finishers, General RAAM has very weak and stiff moveset, and Fulgore is just trash.

Can you link me to this leak? I had trouble finding it.

https://imgur.com/a/G4CnYI6

https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/8uiewo/not_sure_if_the_pictures_been_posted_here_but/

Lots of streamers accidentally showing it on cam over the last couple weeks

Can you hook me up with a link with these mices that you speak of, good sir?

They would be the g703/603 and the g305. The g305 is particularly interesting because you can replace the battery with a AAA lithium battery inside of a plastic AAA>AA shell converter to get the weight down to 85-88 grams. Further if you don't mind the comfort, you can remove the plastic shell to get it around ~77 grams. Weight is one of the huge disadvantages of wireless gaming mice, and since most have internal batteries you can't really mod them in this way. The g305 is pretty popular lately because of this.


Worth mentioning they aren't actually faster than a wired connection, just that they are only 1ms slower and it isn't noticable. Having no cable is a great boon for aim.

That leaked mouse supports wireless as well. The NDA seems to expire on the 20th.

Here is a useful link: https://www.overclock.net/forum/375-mice/854100-gaming-mouse-sensor-list.html

You probably want to stick to MERCURY, HERO, 3389, 3360, 3366 and other variations like the one in the Rival 600. Anything based on the 3360 sensor (which all of the above except mercury and hero are). Mercury and Hero are Logitechs in-house low-power sensors, used in budget mice and their wireless mice. They aren't as good as the 3360 and its variants, but they are very close.

I think it's just her design that makes the low poly models stick out more than the others for me, and probably because she's the first character I used lol

and man the game looks nicer at higher res, but I can't 4k it with a 1060 gtx despite the game is barely using my gpu at 1080p, the particle effects tank my framerate at 4k

Don't think I ever had a game where I went faster from "this is kinda fun" to "Wow, this is frustrating and dumb" than Killer is Dead. The encounter design manages to become incredibly bloated and repetitive, at the fourth level already. Doesn't help that you basically can't regenerate health and are better of getting yourself killed and restarting a checkpoint with full health.

You gotta master the dodge counter
The higher the atk counter is will give u the chance of enemies dropping upgrade points for health, blood or exp
So you use that to get some health back
At your stage i didnt have problems taking down enemies tbh

Those upgrade points don't regenerate health, though. I guess I could focus on dodging better, but the game just didn't hook me enough for me to put in that kind of time. This really isn't on the level of an Ys game, where you feel rewarded for beating the bosses. In fact, the two bosses I beat so far where the most boring shit ever. "Hard", sure, but as far as game design is concerned, it's really boring stuff. The dumb anime shenanigans (which I enjoyed!) aren't redeeming enough to continue this game, honestly.

Are you playing on Normal or Hard? Normal is doable and generally the game is pretty generous with the timing for the dodge action before you get attacked.
Oh and you have set the FPS and performance to 60 FPS or higher right? There's a guide in the steam community forums.

Didn't notice it was 30 FPS, it did feel somehow "off" to play though, so maybe that was it. I'll look at the guide, and focus on dodging. Let's give this thing another try!

Keep in mind that upping the FPS to 60 or ever 120 will affect certain timings for QTEs, but you can also edit that as well to resolve it.

One more thing: You can also disable the HUD if you want by editting .ini files as well.

[pending console approvals]

every sale we look at this game thinking it would be fun in co op but then always remember the co op person has to pick some gimped guy

i dont know much about the game really, but are they ever going to "fix" that? is there something in the game that prevents two people from picking two different characters? maybe co op just isnt an important feature to them

My eyes are probably just terrible, but I've been struggling to hit good framerates at 4k with games (this sucks as 4k is the entire reason I switched to PC gaming) so I just did comparisons between 1440p and 4k. Took screenshots and directly compared and... on some games I don't see any difference. Of course, if I zoom the screenshots in I can. But normal fullsize on screen, I can't. However some games there is a noticeable difference. Like I compared Tomb Raider 2013, and on Ultimate quality the 1440p and 4k look identical to me, however the 1440p runs at 60fps while 4k runs at 30fps. Yet on some other games, even with antialiasing, I notice some nasty jaggies at 1440p versus 4k. But I have also encountered games which have nasty aliasing even at 4k with the same antialiasing solution.

Is this a game engine thing?

The free updates for Gungeon always seem great, I wish I could "figure out" that game. I 100%'d Isaac but I can't make any headway into Gungeon for some reason. I just always feel so weak, like none of the weapons do any real damage.

I'm getting a PS4 with TLOU and Bloodborne next week. You guys make me wanna cancel my order, why you do this.

Fast, someone tell me that TLOU is the best thing that has ever happened in video gaming.
I would say that TLOU is worth playing despite the mechanics all being relatively mediocre, the story and environments and everything else is quite good, and there's only a couple of parts of the game that really end up being tedious. I bought a PS4 mostly for the exclusives as well, and for me, GoW and Horizon alone were worth it (I also needed a BR player I guess), and I'm excited for Spider-Man: Arkham Manhattan.
