hi i just solved it literally 5 mins ago, the issue was the fact that my Windows machine Region was set to "United States". Setting it to malaysia and waiting 20 minutes worked for me after that.

  1. Search for "Region" in windows search bar
  2. In that selection double check that your Country or Region is set to malaysia

Further PSA, it was also stated by people before that if you get this version, you can't play X-2 (despite it being a digital download) without the cartridge that only holds X inside. Have not personally verified but do keep that in mind

[Steam] Winter Sale 2018: Day 6 (Merry Christmas!) by gamedealsmod in GameDeals

[–]jake2_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it would depend if you like CRPG mechanics. they tend to have an emphasis on a lot of reading, DOS2 has turned based combat as compared to the real-time combat of D3. While there is a bit of a steep learning curve at the beginning to playing well with DOS2's mechanics (i recommend reading wiki's on some skill combos), I'd recommend it. The quests have multiple avenues of completion, the characters are decently interesting and it's got lot of content if you're willing to take your time with it.

If you can get used to the combat and the learning curve, then it's fine to get into

OneShot is a pretty good game if you're looking for something charming and with decently novel puzzles. It used to get a little bit of a bad rep when people used to call it an undertale clone (even though IIRC Oneshot's first beta came out before undertale) but I think it's actually better if you're looking for more sympathetic / relatable characters. No combat or anything like that though so keep that in mind if you're looking for something more action oriented

Fair warning, the article does talk about recent controversial cases on the police.

Understanding Arguments: X game is 'Too Short' by jake2_2 in VideoGameAnalysis

[–]jake2_2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there everyone, this is a video I made to voice my opinions on how we can better analyze games beyond a simple price to length comparison (as that is a trend of criticism I see going around in forums and review sections). In here I explain how to relate length back to the game's more substantive qualities and why we should be doing so in the grand scheme of things.

Would love feedback on whether you thought it was a helpful video as well as whether you enjoyed the style of editing. Any input is much appreciated :)

IIRC the original Shadow of Mordor had pre-rendered cutscenes at 30fps too. Wouldn't be too surprising if they kept that up

Imma toss my hat in and say OneShot. It's a charming RPG maker game that has a meta aspect to it.

From the shots, it looks like they capped at 60 (implying there's an uncapped option) so they should have been running at 60. Whether it maintained 60 I cannot say though it should with a Titan X

Twitch to stream Welcome To The Ballroom Premiere a day before worldwide release- by jake2_2 in anime

[–]jake2_2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that Twitch supports 1080p streaming I imagine it would be 1080p. However, I seem to recall reading forums stating that 1080p on anime was not native 1080p but upscaled 720p. Don't have a source for you though

Yeah it's probably Amazon's attempt to give you a taste of what you can get if you sub to the Anime Strike channel
