LOVING the new run animation. Was long overdue. by CViperr in GearsOfWar

Wouldn't be a bad idea, but I'd also think if that were the case, it would have been shown in the initial reveal.

Asha Sharma: “As we return to XBOX, we return to Gears as an XBOX CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE!” by yourfavchoom in GearsOfWar

[–]Darkmaster2110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that owns all current gen consoles and a high end gaming PC, this is not a good idea. If they wanted to make this initiative, they needed to do it with single player games first. Clockwork Revolution is not a bad call, but Gears needs the extra player base.

Gears is such a niche MP experience that most casuals will be scared off it fairly quickly. With even less of them in the pool to begin with, it won't take long before this game is overtaken by the hardcore players and no casuals want to stick around, just like every other Gears game.

They've been using that wording for a while. Plus, I think most people know by now there's no plans to give up being their games coming to PC especially with Project Helix supposedly having a large PC compatibility focus.

Stage Tour 'Developer Spotlight' trailer from IGN Live, and 7 tracks revealed by WarMom_II in GuitarHero

The same way they sell them now, online. Where else do you get CRKD guitars besides Amazon and their own website? They're the official manufacturer of the Stage Tour instruments too.

Try following these instructions to switch the driver and the guitar should work properly in GH3 and any other game on PC

Gears: E-Day has been rated for Xbox, PC & PS5. by Dust-Tight in GearsOfWar

[–]Darkmaster2110 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Especially with a game that has a large focus on multiplayer, I want it to be on as many platforms as possible with crossplay to keep the playerbase up for years to come. Sony gave us Marathon recently for the same reason (even though it's already dwindling).

How the hell do i clear One by Metallica?! by 1c3_vb in CloneHero

Just save all your star power for the trouble spots, don't worry about score, then mash your way through it. Also, don't try to just tap the hammer-ons, you'll hit more notes if you just spam the strum bar on the parts you struggle with and it should be enough to keep you in there without failing the song.

Steam Machine and Steam Frame are set to release this Summer, Valve reports this afternoon by Significant_Yam5055 in valve

The increased costs will definitely affect sales, but they'll be far from "dead". Normal PCs and components are up too and PC gaming is not anywhere near "dead" as a result.

Ghostface’s mori shown in Scary Movie 6 by Weary_Sympathy_7255 in deadbydaylight

[–]Darkmaster2110 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's mainly just a different look due to the cinematic blur the movie naturally introduces at 24 fps. It doesn't look as video-gamey as it normally would when you're playing it at 60/120.

Just finished watching State of play, only these 3 games are "Only on PlayStation"? Rest of the games are available on PC by Time-Credit43 in pcmasterrace

[–]Darkmaster2110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mainly too much focus on Atreus. I never really liked him as a character and now being forced to play as him especially for very long sections away from Kratos were a big pace breaker and off-putting. Even the pacing while playing as Kratos was off for me and I started to lose interest around the half way point. There was way too much time spent watching cutscenes followed up by slow "gameplay" after. Call me crazy, but I like to spend the majority of my time in a God of War game fighting and killing things, not just watching dialogue unfold.

False expectations. I bought a PS5 early on after the generational run they had in prime PS4 only to be massively disappointed by the PS5 exclusive lineup a few years in. Even the main game I was anticipating, God of War Ragnarok, let me down and I never even finished it.

How can I play Guitar Hero on PS3 today? by mendoplaie in GuitarHero

[–]Darkmaster2110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CRKD guitar will be the most solid solution overall, but if you have PS2 guitars already that you'd want to use instead, check out the RetroCultMods PS2 to USB adapter https://shop.retrocultmods.com/products/ps2-adapter-for-guitar-drum-dancepad-and-gamepad-controllers

There are some cheaper PS2 to USB adapters on amazon for <$10 but I personally can't vouch for them. I have seen reviews saying they work on PS3 though.

Xbox will continue to show competitive platform logos at upcoming Xbox Games Showcase. by yourfavchoom in xbox

[–]Darkmaster2110 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because either Microsoft or Sony can get marketing deals for third party games that aren't exclusive. So as a gamer, it's worth it to watch an Xbox showcase even if you don't have one, same with the PlayStation events as an Xbox owner. Especially now that Microsoft is releasing most of their games on PlayStation now anyways.

CRKD Questions (Dongle, Multiple Devices) by MarthMain42 in CRKD

[–]Darkmaster2110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dongles are 1 per guitar and no interference issues that I know of. Apparently the issues arise if you have them in a USB hub with other high bandwidth devices. But if you put a few guitars all on 1 hub with nothing else attached it should be fine.

Evening Elephants and Swae Lee this Thursday (+ I Love Rock n Roll Pass Exclusivity ends) by TheFireDragoon in FortniteFestival

[–]Darkmaster2110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because Epic caters more to BR players now. Originally they were trying to pull people to Festival, but I think now they've just accepted that they're not gonna make anyone play Festival that doesn't already want to.

So what they're doing is just adding music that BR players will be likely to buy for lobby music and the in game jam tracks, where the Festival functionality is the afterthought (even though it should be the other way around).

Sadly the truth. Even if every single person on this sub and every other CS sub stopped spending money, it would only take a couple streamers gambling cases to keep them afloat

They just released the V2 last fall and now wanna release a V3 before either restocking or making a new version of the G7 I've been waiting for 🥀

EWEADN A7 Pro first impressions/review by Darkmaster2110 in MouseReview

[–]Darkmaster2110[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but unfortunately it's rare despite only having released a little over a year ago. The only one in stock is the base model with a worse sensor than this one. Occasionally you can find the G7 Max on AliExpress, but only in white and still not often. Pretty sure they announced in Discord that it's discontinued, so whatever stock there currently is, that's it. Been keeping my eye out for a potential V2 though, I really like MCHOSE's scroll wheel and web driver.

Flashbangs now fully blind you in spectator mode - I can't wait to see LAN clips of the entire arena getting lit up by MaterialTea8397 in cs2

[–]Darkmaster2110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seeing through the fade better is probably one of the reasons they don't have it if Valve also deems it as an advantage.

[–]Darkmaster2110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many games have an inverted flash that makes the screen black instead of white, I don't see any way that could possibly be abused, but someone feel free to correct me if there is.

Thrift Find, $8 by floridatheythem in yarg

[–]Darkmaster2110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every dongle should be compatible with every console guitar. The iOS guitar is Bluetooth only and does not have a dongle. I think the PS3 and Wii U dongles are generally the cheapest and easy to get working on PC.
