How low can they fall...
I have a friend that has one but IIRC he only used it like 10 days before just returining to his regular PC.
Come on.
We have reached peak outrage if you really can't see the obvious "/s."
As expected this took me a fair bit longer than most people
Actual playtime was over 10 hours based on GTT. Enjoyed it a lot except with some frustration with the last boss
The only restriction I put on myself was to not use first aid sprays, and apparently there is zero penalty for first aid sprays so that was really dumb of me and artificially lengthened the game.

Felt like tyrant could touch you five feet past where his arm actually was, so it left a sour taste as it took me way too long to beat him. I was even killed twice trying to pick up the rocket launcher

Interesting because I HATED the DLC for the first one lol. Imo, I thought "The Marrow" and the villains were the weakest points of the game. I feel the open world approach was half-assed as there was barely anything to do/loot. It can kinda mess with your flow of the game too case I got the sniper and a few other guns early in the game because i went exploring.
Really depends on your setup and what you plan to do with it. I bought one during Black Friday and returned it a week later. It is a good device but a PC or a fire stick tv will work just fine.
Is the rating based on time alone? Because...
Yes, 8 hours for B, 5 hours for A, 3 hours for S and there's an S+ but I forget what the requirement is.
I am REALLY tempted to pick up an Razer Blade Stealth from Best Buy today ($500 off currently). Would be nice to have something for dev work and travel. Currently I just use a fire tablet and my phone during travel lol.
First time playing Dark Souls. Any essential tips? I have no clue what is going on.
Also, should I use magic or just weapon and shield?

I'm no expert but I recommend weapon and shield since blocking is kinda op.
Having no clue is part of the experience, enjoy!
Still can't believe how much they gutted build variety and especially magic in 3, that thing is a shell of a Souls game
What do you mean trying a purchase? I had an issue where it wouldnt let me buy and then i got a message saying i was attempting too many purchases. People are complaining that they are also having trouble logging into steam.
There are some server issues at the moment. Valve actually stopped banning/suspending accounts roughly seven years ago, when it implemented the restriction system (well, save for one extraordinary case).
Well, it wont let me connect either now too. Doesnt say incorrect login though, just network problem.
Uhhh.....thats it? No new features or anything? Whats the point....? lol
People like me that have only Evoland 2 get the first one for free, I guess.
Though I don't recommend the first one at all. I played through it yesterday and it's... really not good. At least it's short, but do yourself a favor and just play the much much much much more superior Evoland 2 instead, which is legitimately great.
Ooooh
I thought you had to have both the games to get this edition.
Nvm then....well...now i have 3 Evoland games in my library...lol.
I already finished Evoland 1 before the 2nd came out.
Random question I've had about RTX / Raytracing:
Is the RTX technology open source? Is AMD allowed to use it? What I mean is, when AMD releases a ray-tracing capable card, will users of that card be able to enable ray-tracing in existing RTX-enabled games? Just curious.
If not, how will games support ray tracing on both AMD and Nvidia hardware when the time comes?

First Evoland is basically a nostalgia gimmick wrapped in a gamelike package. You'll probably get a few 'hah, that's amusing' from it, but as a game it sucks, especially at the very end.
I still need to play the second one, I'm glad they made it an actual game beyond just the gimmick.

How are the achievements in the second one? Like the sucker that I am, I'm thinking I should 100% the original release and then in the future do the same for the legendary edition versions of both games.
RTX is simply Nvidias branding. AMD will call it something else.
DirectX Raytracing (DXR) is open standard API that even AMD is free to support, and games using that would then work on both.
If games were to use something else, it could be more complicated for AMD to support.
Easy following a guide (cause it requires collecting some hidden cards), there's one in particular that requires some grinding (think like fighting one hour straight unless you find a better method than me).
Get the LiS: BtS deluxe edition for that sweet, sweet bonus episode.My list for now
I will go through my wishlist once again tomorrow to see if this is final list :D
I didn't like it at all.. haha.
Playable? 60 fps? 1080p?
IIRC, there's some Nvidia open source stuff for Vulkan, but I haven't seen that in a while.
hmm alright, i get what you're saying
i do think a big draw of 1 for me was the weirdness of it, so having a more grounded game sounds less appealing even if they smoothed out all of the frustrating edges from 1 (of which there were more than a few)
i have really bad memory for plot so for me as long as the game entertains me i'm ok. like i don't even remember what happened in the first one other than some weird brain inception thing and i'm cool with that being as deep it gets
hmm interesting. they're really good in which way?
yeah i just think it feels awkward, like it's not a full game
like idk some small details like not having those "style" multipliers on the money you earn from fights (and also not having the awesome money flying vfx) feels like they stripped features off, but also they recycled a bit too much
like i'm seeing there's gonna be a rc car minigame and this again is uhhhh
yeah that's probably right if you played 1. i read they changed/improved some things but idk how much they matter. i've watched some cutscenes from the first one on youtube to check out the differences with the remake and it's pretty impressive how faithful it is
It is kinda hard to justify paying almost 3.5 euros for one episode XD
You will rarely if ever get a booster for a popular game on modern Steam. The lesser bundle trash games are where you get boosters because you will be competing with a smaller pool of owners.
Holy shit, I never knew that Battletech modding is a thing.
https://www.nexusmods.com/battletech/
Lots of new mechs and parts variants and gameplay tweaks.

Well it gives you a wide creepy area to explore and do quests in. You can see monsters from far away and have to figure out how to deal with them instead of just walking into a room and getting jump scared. If you get spotted by one monster they will alert others so it remains tense and feels dangerous. You can go in houses and stuff and explore for optional rewards/story.
If they had managed to make the whole game open world it would have been really impressive.
While mechanically a bit more "normal," EW2 is still very weird conceptually. (Great visuals all over the place, too)
As others have stated, there are Vulcan extensions and a API interface for DirectX (DXR).
However, there is also 'RTX' via Nvidia's own APIs. The raytracing denoising acceleration is a RTX feature, meaning a developer specifically has to use Nvidia's APIs to enable that. Raytracing can be (and currently is exclusively) denoised without using the Tensor cores.
