Seven This would've been absolute perfect if some points wasn't clear as fucking day. Chilling movie otherwise.

With all the bitching about the GTX 970 problem, it is still a great card. Sure it made me not buy it since I will run into problems in the future, this shitstorm will benefit the consumers. Even if they are Nvidia or AMD fanbois.

@Ethan: My understanding of it is that the last 0.5 has a significantly slower speed, so when a game actually manages to use more than 3.5GB of VRAM, performance takes a noticeable hit.
But honestly, it's one of the rare cases where the claims of false advertising as actually justified, as opposed to completely retarded.
@Connorrrr: Depends. The card is still pretty good. People are rightfully angry but it's not like the card is suddenly shit or anything. It'...

...It's just not quite as good as everyone thought it was. If anything, you're now in a position to make a more informed purchase. It still gives you a pretty good bang for your bucks but it might not be worth it depending on what you're going to use it for.
I don't plan on going higher than 1080p anytime soon, so personally I'm starting to lean towards the cheaper GTX 960.

I personally will be heading into 1440p territory soon enough so the 970 would be bad if I want that card to past 4-5 years. Connorrrr, it totally depends on how you push the 970. If you don't mind upgrading if things get tough for it in a few years @ 1080p resolution then it's a fine card. You just can't be using the final 0.5 GB. You'll hit it easily enough if your needs require SLI 970s.

I'm in a bullshit mountainous field with reception. The rocks are great though.

According to Word or any other word processing program, a lot of geology terms are not real words.

Well there you go.

I demand 72 melons for that insult.

Oh okay. I think they left it for some bosses since I recall them auto healing (Green number right before they attack). Otherwise I do think it is gone. It would've made my life easier if my characters had it. During hard fights, Compa is reduced as a bullet sponge while she heals herself or other people. On a different note. I wished they fleshed out the DLC characters. Right now they are literally some unknown, unseen ghosts that I use occasional. They are not mentioned one bit after they are aquired after a quick blurb. At least they have a hard time providing partner bonuses or whatever it is called because they are quite powerful in the beginning. Hell, at least one is another CPU.

There's % based healing. I only really see 30% though. Magic is % only while items can be a set number or % based. The number based ones saved me a few times.

Banished is fantastic. I just never touched a mod yet but the modding scene is very much alive. Well, I got through that spike so it means it is for sure doable on a first run but considering that only a handful of enemies were harder than her up to that point made her bloody hard. Now that I had some sleep, I recall losing Nep Nep at the very end. The boss only needed 1-2 rounds of attack to be defeated. My healer is also my tank so she managed to have enough health at the end to finish off the boss. @Tenshi I'm like FLD that I haven't played the original. I recall hearing that the original being kind of terrible. Looking at it on Youtube, it seems slower and clunkier but it is essentially what is there in Re;birth. The production value is for sure lower in the original (music being the most obvious). Some of the differences that I noticed: How you determine your combos is revamped to be far more intuitive. So instead of a long list with different combinations, it got boiled down to what is essentially a spreadsheet with three rows and four columns. You don't have to use all the columns. The original is that you are stuck in a line (think classic JRPGs) while in Re;birth you got freedom of movement which adds another level to battles (more towards the likes of Disgaea than say the rows of Final Fantasy). Positioning is kind of important since some bosses and enemies has attacks that deals damage to a wide area. Random encounters are gone. In Re;birth, there are enemy models in the dungeons so if you feel like it, you can skip as many battles as you like. So it changed quite a bit with regards to battles. All for the better.

Oh fuck me. I clocked in 11 hours and I just got through chapter 2. It is 7 AM... Anyways, when this game is not crashing it is perfectly fine. It actually looks alright and the battles can potentially be quite fast paced. The only time during battles that I slow down is if I need to position myself to slap around the most enemies. For the game's major problems, we just got to wait to see how well Iffy fixes the problems (DLC and crashing). I'm chalking up this shaky port is due to inexperience PC devs. Hopefully they'll pull a Square Enix and add in proper resolution options later so that anybody above 1080p can enjoy the game. Those 900p assets would be terrible at higher resolutions. Gameplay wise, I like it however there is a HUGE difficulty spike at chapter two. I heard about it but I didn't look into it. I only got through it by pure chance on how I built my characters. how the AI reacted and well, DLC. I have a random chick that nobody acknowledges. I actually was down to my final, nearly dead character since my strategy could only hold out for so long. Now that I think harder, I had similar outcomes in my fights with harder enemies after this. So yeah... while I like Nep Nep, Noire is best girl so far.

So Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 got some crashing issues. Seems like running the .exe in Windows XP compatibility mode fixes it. It did for me. My face if Iffy are still using Windows XP to make and test the port: Otherwise, it's an alright game. It's running at 60 fps. I actually learning something about this series that I jokingly mention a lot. The only real glaring issue with the port is resolution. At the very least, it seems like some assets are locked at 900p max. The graphic quality of this port is confusing me. Some part looks like 1080p while others does not... and it changes.

I should get back into Space Dandy. As for what I'm watching. LISTEN TO MY SONG... no, not Macross. Symphogear. I think this might be one that should be watched as it is aired. I'm going to try to gun through this series so I can be caught up for season three. As for oldies, I picked out Lain and Vampire Princess Miyu TV.

No nepnep till Friday due to last minute bug squashing. Annoyed but I can for sure respect that.

I never knew that I needed American Truck Simulator until today. Imagine: me driving from LA or SF in a game for 7-8 hours (6-7 in a car).

I never actually thought to search for this type of Vocaloid songs. Jackpot. Who knew you could make Miku growl? Edit: Swapped out for ones with lyrics.

A graver sin is if they require you to use everybody for the final boss.

Whoa, expanding ads. I got a Dell one. For it to expand you got to hover over it for a few seconds.

Phantom Breaker: Battle Ground I just beat* it with one character. Now 7 more to go and at increasingly higher difficulties that you have to unlock by beating the game at the next one down. This game really needs online co-op. *I think there might be one last stage or boss?

I can already hear the bitching when it comes to FPS between controller and kb+m players. In all the times this mingling was allowed, an average kb+m player will dominate even the best controller player. Remote play will be neat though. It potentially opens up a lot of screens. Sure it isn't meant for say me where I have a 5 years old PC that can still go toe-to-toe with the X1 but say if I want to stream a X1 game to my T100. It would be pretty damn great. I just wonder how the controller issue will be addressed though. Like say can I be away from my X1 and still pull it off with a X1 controller connected to my T100? The streaming for the PS4 to the Vita or the Wii U to its gamepad makes sense since there's already an attached controller. I'm unsure about the Vita TV but I imagine a DS4 will be connected.

Used the 10% PSN code to impulse buy... The Persona games were on sale too and I think maybe Suikoden. So yeah, I will finally get to face Luca Blight in what has been argued as one of the best JRPG ever and I can delve into the world of Persona 3 and 4. While not Golden, normal P4 should still stand well on its own. For P3, it is mainly for the robot girl. Yay brand recognition! Edit: Also to be honest, I might just download the ROMs and play on my computer. Having my PS3 in the living room is shit.

Just one of those days...

Toadette's warcry is just too adorable.

Maybe I should had gone to Gamestop... I've been holding it off.

It's no Scott Pilgrim but it's close enough. I'm not sure about the decision to just have two discrete playing fields instead of one continuous field like in most other 2D beat-them-ups. It almost seems like a mechanic that would have been around in the NES era (But then we had games like River City Ransom). It doesn't hurt the game though, it's just odd. Also it is oddly hard at times.

Suddenly the internet echo chamber is crying out about problems with the GTX970/980. I'm not sure what is real life or what is fantasy in this case.
-
Give it a month. Never early adopt... well anything expensive really.
-
What sort of problems?
-
One: Notable number of coil whine.
Two: VRAM usage can go to shit at around 3.5 GB. It either caps out right there or if it uses the full 4 GB, your performance will take a dump.
For the coil whine, there are enough cases to warrant RMAs. For the VRAM issue, it may be a firmware issue or a hardware issue.
I think most of the problems are with the 970. The 980 doesn't seem to have as much problems.
