You can plug your DS4 into your PC.

It was a massive disappointment, but was fun enough once you accepted it for what it was. But yeah, I have no hype for NMS. Basically I'm hoping it's awesome because I like awesome things, but have no expectation that it will be.

I think it makes sense to require you to be registered as a certain party in order to vote in their primary. The idea is for the party to pick who their candidate is going to be, so obviously only members of that party should have a say.

Registered Republican because for 90% of races in this area the Republican candidate is going to win (even assuming they're not unopposed, which commonly they are), so as a practical matter the Republican primary is the election, and I'd like to be able to vote in it.

That's not true everywhere, some states allow you to vote in either one regardless of registration, but you can only vote in one of the other. In theory I actually could have voted in both here, because you could change your registration at the Democratic caucus, so after I voted in the Republican one I could have gone to the Democrat, changed my registration, and then caucused in that one too.

I voted for Kasich.

It was a joke, GAH!

Well and to be clear, I'm not trying to say it is overpriced, just that I think they would have been better served by communicating the price more explicitly.

Regardless of the reasonableness of people's belief (I personally would have guessed $40), there's no way they didn't anticipate it, and so they should have addressed it sooner. An Amazon listing means nothing, because when in doubt Amazon always lists things at the highest plausible price until the actual price is announced.

Playing Uncharted for the combat is like reading Playboy for the articles.

What the box does is handle the positional tracking for the headset so that doesn't take processing power from the main console, and updates frames already rendered the console with the newest head tracking data 120 times per second so there's as little perceptible latency as possible. What that means is that even though the console is rendering 60 fps, the box takes each frame and distorts it slightly to approximate what would have been rendered with the most up-to-date head tracking information. It's similar to the motion smoothing tech that some HDTVs have, but way more advanced. It allows the motion on the screen to more closely track the motion of your head without the console having to actually render at 90 or 120 fps.

The codes weren't dodgy, they were valid codes, they just bought them from a third-party distributor instead of direct from the publisher. People on Reddit decided to get up in arms about that for some reason, claiming they were "unauthorized codes" when it was just that GMG wasn't specifically authorized by the publisher to sell those codes. But the codes were bought legitimately by the third-party distributor from the publisher, and then bought from that distributor by GMG. As a result of this GMG now publishes on each game's page where they got the code. tl;dr: the only people GMG ever got in hot water with were the moderators on a game deals subreddit, they never actually did anything wrong, and now they publish the source of the code so you can be confident of that.

Mountains out of mole hills.

My most anticipated game of the year.

Yeah, what's wrong with GMG?

Well the PSVR thing is based on comments from the creator, and you would think he would know if it's technically feasible. But yeah, a game needs to be able to sustain 60 fps to work with PSVR.

Hitman Go bites the dust, along with Lara Croft Go. Both fantastic games.

If I understand correctly there's some kind of overarching story that involves getting to the center of the galaxy, so the ruins could potentially be related to that.

It's funny, I'm really not much interested in this game at all, but I think if it were confirmed for PSVR that would suddenly transform it into a killer app for that platform. I think it's just that the idea of random exploration of beautiful environments becomes a lot more appealing when I can feel like I'm actually there.

My understanding is the show is separate from what you would normally think of when you hear about a game's cutscenes. The game follows the protagonist (obviously), and the show follows the antagonist. I can't find anything that makes it explicit one way or the other though, so if you have a source please correct me. I do stand corrected on the downloading part, that's only for Xbox One.

Well the way procedural generation typically works is deterministic. You don't have to generate the whole thing, different areas are generated as you explore (that's what minecraft does), and as long as you have the same seed different computers will generate the exact same worlds based off of it. So I don't take the shared universe thing to mean they have literally generated the whole thing and have it sitting on a server somewhere, just that they have the seed so they can regenerate areas whenever necessary without having to maintain the whole thing all at once. That's why dean's comment surprised/confused me, because if it means the worlds might be different each time then that would imply their procedural generation is not based on a fixed seed and is therefore not deterministic and not the same each time. If, however, it just means alterations (such as digging) aren't saved then that makes a lot more sense with the shared seed where locations are just generated whenever they're needed and then dumped when they're not, but the results of the generation will be the same each time.

Does that mean the planets are completely re-procedurally-generated each time, or does it just mean that changes aren't permanent? Like, if I go to a planet once and it's full of red dinosaurs and purple trees and I mine a bunch of shit there, the next time I go back will it still be red dinosaurs and purple trees and just the holes I dug are gone, or could it potentially be a completely different ecosystem/lifeless world?

I have a "data cap" at 350 GB/month on cable internet in rural Kansas. It's really less a "cap" though and more a "guideline". Nothing happens if I pass it in any given month, it's just that if I go over it too often they'll make me upgrade to the next tier or cancel my service.

You can also download the show, you don't have to stream it. Also, the show is somewhat separate from the game, so it's not necessary to play the game. *Edit - also also, from what I understand the purpose wasn't to save HDD space, it was to save disc space on the production discs that they have to ship to people who buy physical versions of the game. So that it doesn't have to be a 5 Blu-ray pack.

But how much something's worth isn't just determined by amount of content either. *Edit - Although honestly I think the main problem was messaging. They have to have known for a long time what the price range was going to be, and they have to have known that people would be expecting it to be let, and so they should have made that clear a long time ago so people would have had time to adjust to it before you're trying to get them to actually preordered it.
