    Oddly funny to me.

    Personally though, it's the 970 that gets me.

    Windows 10

    Oh hey, looks like I can put a computer to sleep or shutdown with just the keyboard again. With m+kb, you got to right click the Windows icon and then choose the option you want. I'm not aware of a pure keyboard way to do it. I wonder if Windows 9 can recognize between people using m+kb and touch so that m+kb will pull up the more traditional start menu and touch will pull up the one 8.2 uses now. Alternatively, they can allow people to pick and choose what comes up.

    I use both since I'm a true American.
  5. Well, I'm confident in saying that Metal Gear franchise since at least MGS1 to all main series games has been solid. I think the only one that didn't have as much punch was MGS2 due to the very sudden appearance of Raiden (Otherwise the game played fine). So yeah, Metal Gear is the exception to the rule of being cautious. Doesn't mean that I don't have my doubts but then again... this is Metal Gear. I also got time to watch this. That was a fun watch, especially working with Quiet. Having her presence being something like a Predator? Yes. Having her knocking off a helmet so you can get an instant KO shot? Yes... Having her shoot a grenade so it flies towards a helicopter? Holy fuck yeah. DD should be a bit more subdued but I imagine her/him has a headphone so you can more or less command DD like you can with Quiet. Also I never considered that enemies can pop the balloons. In multiplayer during the Motherbase missions, does the two player ever have a chance to see each other? If so then that means the home team can start shooting the balloons out of the sky. It should be interesting. lastly, the walls... I think you got to see cracks on the walls in order to climb them. I wonder if you can climb trees... either way, I think rockclimbers are having a hard on.
  6. Shit goes to hell fast. It quickly devolves to me trying to stay back so I don't get 1 hit KO. During my second public event, I made my first encounter with the orb enemies which scared the crap out of me. You know the fresh recruit in sci-fi shows or whatever who goes "What the fuck is that!?" when faced with an unknown enemy? That was me. And they were a few levels above me. So yeah, public events are awesome.
  7. But then it would require an animation studio for it to jive well with the rest of the game. That is why a Valkyria Chronicles model is intriguing. The models were used for both gameplay and cutscenes. Disgaea doesn't seem like it can.
  8. There's really not much they can visually improve on. Having 3D models wouldn't be a good thing and if you try to smooth out the terrain, it'll start looking weird. Unless of course Disgaea gameplay suddenly turns into something more like Valkyria Chronicles (minus the shooting bit)... actually, would that work? Could Disgaea still be wacky in that sort of perspective?
  9. I've gotten used to not being able to trade games in. It's always a gamble on getting a game on launch or very near launch (e.g., SimCity's problems fell under the radar since no one was able to play it long enough to really make the problems apparent). I only took the plunge with Destiny since from the impressions that I got from you guys, it is a fine game. I think the only major sticking point is how the drops/decrypting works. Otherwise, it's either cosmetic problems (The 3rd person animation leaves things to be desired) or its only temporary (Earth is boring but it gets better with each planet). There's really not much you can do with lore, that takes a while to build up (though screw having to go to bungie's website to check some of it out). Also you screwed up with TPP. It's "WHOOOOAAAA OOOOOOOOO".
  10. 3/5 for the first (?) PvP bounty. I got better with each match where I find spray and pray weapons aren't doing me any favors. Thus I have a handcannon. I think I only seen myself running around with it which makes sense... it's an unforgiving weapon class. Low ammo per cylinder and its pretty short ranged. Makes for a fun time though when deaths really don't matter as much than captures and holds. My impressions so far of the PvP is positive. I personally got to learn how to double jump better then I think I can be more consistent in moving around. The levels are designed in such a way that it offers quite a bit of creativity in going at it. The cluster grenade in tight hallways is a favorite of mine, especially when I toss it behind the enemies to force them to think fast. It either to come out or stay put. They usually stay put or even backpedal. Running into a group of people with a super is nice too. Maybe I like it because I haven't played competitive multiplayer games in a while. Lastly... I guess there is a sword in this game. Dagger really but I'm quite sure there is a super powerful gun that more or less 1 hit KO people. I wonder what that is. Good purchase. No regrets so far.
  11. It's SquareEnix we're talking about. There is nothing positive about them anymore.
  12. Infinite taught me to not be too hyped about a game... somewhat. It's great but expectations were too high. The first two DLCs kind of soured the whole deal too. The third DLC though... oh man.
  13. It's there so Ganon can finally kill Link due to a designer's stupidness. And DW games are fantastic if you don't mind "dumb" games. Just level up and enjoy wrecking hordes of enemies.
  14. That was/is the plan. XII's ADB is fantastic but yeah, it seems like we'll be getting a Kingdom Hearts battle system offshoot. I'm still in the camp that if Final Fantasy's battle system evolved to anything, it would be what Kingdom Hearts did. While it's not turn-based and it is more frantic, it had real-time spells and summons. In ways it reminds me of Brave Fencer Musashi (I wouldn't be surprised if Square got experience from making BFM). Note, I'm not saying it will feel right... it's just what would be acceptable. Besides, face it. Final Fantasy as we knew it is long dead. Time to let that dream fantasy die.
  15. I did. PSN shows that I do indeed got Destiny purchased for the PS4. Now Destiny's PS4 page is just like all my other PS4 games that I got via PS+. I guess that settles that. You know why I am so confused? Articles like these. But PSN already shows that I purchased it (Another image of my download list). The thing is that articles like Polygon's (Then again, it is Polygon...) makes me uncertain as fuck. Then, of course I could go directly to the source. https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5372 I should be good.
  16. Actually, why is a convertible offroading?
  17. The Metal Gear Collection 2014 is a clothing line. I can only sum up my reaction like so...
  18. I should get a PS4 but in the meantime... it's not bad. The Warlock is a total badass with its force melee. Add in the fact that its secondary is a shotgun makes me jelly. When presented with a choice of weapons to purchase, of course I go with the handcannon. Fuck spraying bullets. I'm walking up to a group of enemies with my six shooters and trusty shotgun. Now for the AI... it could be better I think. Chase me or flank me, damn it. Don't allow me to go behind a corridor where you guys won't go while I slowly load my handcannon and shotgun. At least I saw them retreat to a better position, I guess? Also what is up with the social hub being 3rd person? There's no weight or anything to the animations. It's borderline acceptable in this day and age but I suppose it could be a lastgen problem? Anyways, it seems like I could have multiple characters. I need someone that will be good with a LMG of sorts then I'll be golden.
  19. Fuck the Destiny thread. Now I just need to find a PS4 to claim my copy before January 15th.
  20. I'm unused to a mouse with more than three buttons.

      I'm unused to a mouse with less than 5

  21. Might be the uncanny valley. I'm cautious... don't get hyped. I got hyped by XIII and came out disappointed.
  22. http://notch.net/2014/09/im-leaving-mojang/ Notch also left Mojang. I guess I can understand. Anyways, it'll be interesting to see where the Minecraft goes. Not to mention everything else Mojang. :\ Feels quite shitty honestly. I suppose this is how some of the more reasonable people felt when Oculus Rift got sold to Facebook. The future is full of unknowns. At least with the former status quo I could expect more or less the same game whenever I got back to it. Now... what am I going to see one or two years from now?
  23. My mice finally died so I finally have an excuse to buy a better mouse. I'm currently using my roommate's spare mouse and I think it confirms my suspicions that my old mouse was really the cause of it stopping and going. I always had a doubt about that and it made me question my tower as a whole (Think PSU problems -shudder-). Anyhow, multi-button master race? I actually cancelled an order of a flightstick for this...
