The PC vids clearly show recoil. The guy misspoke. Blues message boards are cancer.

Spoken like Stage 4 ass cancee.(sic)

Thanks for proving my point. Keep stepping on the rake I'm putting in front of you.

LA Noire remaster skipping the computer, pc gamers everywhere rejoice.

It's likely that the remaster is basically the graphical increase the PC had over the console versions when it came out.

The spider man article is disappointing, but expected. Open world games are an astounding juggling act, any one component will hold the entirety back, much more so than level-based games.

The fact that there are still humans alive that are unintelligent and willfully ignorant enough to believe that climate change has nothing to do with us is incredibly disturbing, today put it mildly.

This analogy above doesn't really work if the developers never mentioned mod support.. If they didn't, well it's not exactly a feature to base marketing off. I'm too lazy to do my research on it

Ok, f**k me. I just put my brain together to see if Ori 2 was revealed at E3 and it was. No f**kin wonder.

THANK YOU AND BRING IT!

So the shutdown of a mod tool for GTA4 causes a flood of negative reviews for GTA5? Stay classy modern day gamers.

Hrm, probably going to be a marked increase in BF1 cheaters for awhile.

Between this and Dead Cells, metroidvanias are getting a LOT of love in the near future.

Can't wait to give this one a try.

Thanks for mentioning Dead Cells... Had never heard of it, but looks interesting, and is now on my wait list : )

Thank you, WaltC and Mordecai, for the additional info! That was above and beyond what I'd hoped to learn and those links will keep me busy for quite a while as I venture down the dark path of 'AA'.

I plan to soon start building a new system, with either a x299/CoreX or x399/ThreadRipper base (depending on which comes out with the better price/power ratio) and a nice 1070/1080 or 470/480/580 with as much VRAM as I can possibly afford! I'll probably keep my monitors though unless I find a good deal on a gSync/144hz/200hz panel. Since it won't be until closer to the holidays, I'm sure they'll be plenty of deals to take advantage of. For now, I'm just trying to weigh in on the stuff I don't know and am curious about and stuffing as much tech information in this aging brain as possible!

Thanks again, guys, I really appreciate it!

Asked a (probably stupid) question earlier today in the AMD driver thread but I don't think anyone saw it and it's about to fall off the page, so could someone go back and take a look and maybe give me an answer? Pweety Pwease?!

Wow, I didn't think it was nearly that complicated and I can't say I understood all of it completely but I think I get the jist of it. Supersampling is the bomb, MSAA is (not the) shit. I try to read the in-depth tech discussions when they do benchmarks and stuff like that, I really do, especially when a new family of GPU's comes out but by the time I'm getting to the second or third page, I'm passed out snoring in a puddle of drool on my desk. It's pretty much the one thing I find absolutely mind-numbing about PC hardware. Same with CPU/GPU overclocking.

I appreciate the time and effort to explain it though, much thanks...I don't think I'm gonna get very far super sampling anything with my lowly, long-suffering HD7850/1gb. The good news is, though, that Witcher 3 looks fine to me as is, so I'm not complaining. Even if I grabbed some higher-res textures from Nexus Mods, my poor GPU would struggle to stream them without stuttering, not to mention my poor fragmented hard drives...lol...

I have a box of I7's people thought were suitable for overclocking. Those liquid cooled gas setups are outrageously expensive. There are few good water cooled systems and many that are not. Make sure if you use one it has a lot of good reviews. Unfortunately most reviews don't take into consideration longevity.

They stop hacking and cheating yet? Would like to get back in if they have.

No, and they never will stop it. The online multiplayer is P2P and they will always be fighting a losing battle on this front. Hackers are much less malacious now though, with the most common one I see lately being bundles of $50,000 dropping for everyone on a server every 1/2 second. Prolly not a good idea to stockpile too much illicit cash though. Spend it quick in case r* wipes your money.

EDIT: just to clarify, this isnt as threatening as it sounds. R* only does that for people who heavily abuse the system and spawn in money.

I stopped playing again for the second time because of fucking hackers. This time, some prick stole double digits millions from me that took months to amass, in about three seconds. Since it's impossible to earn any real money in this game, and everything costs so fucking much, fuck this shitty game.

If the netcode weren't garbage tier peer to peer, where clients can actually dictate what's happening on other clients, and instead, most of it was handled server-side, we wouldn't have 10% of the hacking problem we have today. It really ruins the game.

What I find interesting is that the game size is about 19GB in total, tho there isn't really much to the game and it still looks like something PS2 puked out.

Last ditch moment to boost their numbers?

A side note, some time ago I made Blue the President of the BN group - so he has full control.

Unless things changed DRASTICALLY, which I do hope, in the last few months... This game won't last long. Can't say much due to NDA, but it's been quite underwhelming all along development, as if they just didn't know how to make it "fun". Like fifty different systems all crammed on top of each other, fighting for your attention.

It's also been in alpha since December 2014, and they've been struggling the whole time.

Certainly a neat concept, but this is actually worrisome that they're pushing it out now.
