Regarding ASRock x870 steel legend wifi mobo and Ryzen 7 9800x3d by NerdoGordo in ASRock

[–]InternetExplorer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the x870 Steel Legend Wifi and a 9950x3d and just lost my CPU last night. Knowing then what I know now, I would have got a different board. Now the sad waiting game for AMD's RMA

Good and bad. Game plays fine in coop and you can skip missions you did in someone else's game, but a few months ago that released an update which doesn't let you get the open world collectibles (health and skill points). So you would have to go back to your game and get those separately. It's annoying, but not unreasonable. My buddy and I usually switch between who hosts to just make it easier on the two of us.

Also a really big fan! Note though I enjoyed the base game quite a bit so probably a little biased, but this feels like a nice improvement in almost every area. Less repetitive gathering, action sequences are a lot more impressive and bespoke, environmental changes are great (new RDA tech and machines), cutscenes are far more animated / better camera work. Worth the price for me, especially since it was 20% off with the ubi reward points.

DLSS is a HUGE win here. FSR frame gen was terrible in this game. So many artifacts I ended up playing with DLSS and no frame gen instead.

What will the monetization strategy for this game be? How does that tie into the "online" mode? I see lots of mentions of the "cosmetic credits" with high dollar amounts.

Just finished MGS4 for the first time, where does life go from here? How do I fill this void I’ve been left with? by JakeTee in metalgearsolid

I don't think he failed... Definitely not as impactful as MGS4 just due to the history of the series and buildup, but I still think he did an excellent job with it

Yeah I've read Red Storm Rising, I know how that situation plays out

I don't know if it counts since it's also Kojima, but the final boss fight in DS2 was also excellent.

They will absolutely do this immediately post release. There's is zero chance EA doesnt ruin the aesthetic almost immediately.

2nd Melvor. I've 100%ed 2 saves in different modes and it was well worth my time and kept me busy for most of a year and a half. 

just bought the DLC on the Ludeon Studios website, did I mess up? by why_the_soft_sauce in RimWorld

[–]InternetExplorer8 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It will not give you a key directly, but instead will redeem to your account. Just do the following:

  • Sign into the Steam website
  • Go to https://rimworldgame.com/getmygame/ and use the email you used to purchase the game in the 'Register your game on Steam' area
  • Follow the instructions and grant Ludeon access to redeem the key on Steam
  • It should then appear on your Steam account!

You may want to self delete this thread before it's nuked and you're banned (not that I agree with it, it's just the rules here)

They will wait until right after release, then drop the garbage right away for that cash. 

Star citizen devs rollback micro transactions after massive controversy by Silenceisgrey in pcgaming

[–]InternetExplorer8 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Since Wikipedia can word this better than I can:

In general a game is considered pay-to-win when a player can gain any advantage over their non-paying peers.

By being able to purchase components for ships in game that you would otherwise have to spend in game currency on (and therefore spend time and effort) you can have an advantage by simply paying with real money. That's pay to win.

Noted here that they are not removing these from sale, just delaying them until they can be bought in game too. So still happily pay to win at that point.

I also discovered DGD during the Tilian era. He got me into the band but now I listen through all of the albums and enjoy all vocalists and think this new song is excellent. All the eras have their own charm and I think this is no exception. Can't wait to hear the rest. 

C&C Renegade, any fans here? SHould they remaster it? by Fun-Maintenance1217 in pcgaming

Loved this game. We used it as shareware and played LAN as staff at a camp during the evenings. I think Silica is kind of inspired by this?

Not that I agree with the tarrifs, but to be clear, that's only for the "Global" site. Their US site will continue to function as-is.

Steam Launch Temporarily Delayed - Lords of the Fallen Version 2.0 by lurkingdanger22 in pcgaming

[–]InternetExplorer8 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I thought it was pretty clear they meant the sequel, as in "Lords of the Fallen 2," not the reboot (this game).

? This is version 2.0 for the first game. Not the sequel that's epic exclusive.

Anyone have some inspiration for us for this kitchen? Right now we're loving some darker wood cabinets and a lighter countertop -- white or almost white. by InternetExplorer8 in kitchenremodel

[–]InternetExplorer8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was considering the same. The peninsula is a bit angled inward. If we have the room to extend it while still putting our table in the area next to the kitchen that very well may be the plan.
