Video Game General 6.5: Now with more surprise mechanics

To be fair, Rollback is not a magic solution that will make all the online infrastructure problems go away.
Add that not every game lends itself to be seamles on a rollback netcode.

Add that while is heavily favored by the fgc due their experience with ggpo the general public actually dislikes rollback since besides adding permanent input lag (3f for the fgs that use it) it also makes the experience choppy.
Most are fine with dealing with some slowdown rather than hitting someone and then finding themselves eating a combo due a rollback.

Easily disaprovable when you see the amount of companies that use technologies that were developed on other countries.
The proograming language C and its variants, UE3 and UE4, etc.

Bought God of War for 10 bucks. Greatest hits though, which makes it my only greatest hits game I own on PS4.

I’m hype for my new PC, but I now need a molex to 4pin wire for the new MOBO I’m getting. It needs an 8 and 4 pin, but my PSU only has an 8pin.

Now most people are saying it will post with just an 8pin, but according to people with the same mobo I’m getting it won’t post unless it has both an 8 and 4pin, which seems to be a thing across the board with new 570 mobos.

C’mon mang

You’d think so but…:woman_shrugging:t3:

This was me with a lot of the Yakuza games I picked up during BF sales. I don’t organize a lot but when I do I like it to look as uniform as possible. Which is why I hate steel books and red boxes/greatest hits boxes.

It kinda drives me insane. So I’m ordering replacement blue PS4 cases when I get paid so I can swap the cases.

Greatest hits doesn’t bother me unless it’s some fucking amazing game that is highly collectable. I’d have never paid what I did for a black label Symphony of the Night if it was greatest hits.

When you swap out the boxart to new cases it’ll still have the greatest hits text at the top unless you have a place that can print out the boxart too.

There are some greatest hits games which are rarer than the regular labelled games out there. I thought that was cool. There are even people who go for a collection that aims for greatest hits versions of games. People are wacky man. :rofl:

Yeah. This doesn’t really bother me cause I can’t see it. I can always see the red box or steel book

But, thankfully some hide them well. For instance I bought the Catherine Full Body STANDARD edition but Best Buy gave me the launch edition that is in a steel case. Normally that’d be something I’d be upset about. BUT it comes with a slip case for the steel book that makes it where I can’t even notice it’s a steel book.

Same with the Y6 art book edition. The art book IS the case of the game but the slip case it comes with makes it look like a normal game.

Yeah. More or less. I know what I’m saying and how I rationalize it makes no fucking sense lol.

You’ll realise at some point time is more valuable than wasting it being OCD over self made problems that don’t really matter that much in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks dad.

I’m well aware that the little things I care about or do don’t matter. I think everyone knows that about themselves. Hell, all the video games we play don’t mean shit in the grand scheme of things. Being on this site doesn’t matter.

However they’re usually the only things that can make me not get overly anxious and not think about depressing shit. I think most people’s hobbies or the little things they care about achieve that for them in one way or another. Or help them in other ways. So it’s not a waste of time or pointless.

It’s just different forms of escapism. Which isn’t a bad thing.

sheeeitttt, having a bit of fun with Warhammer Chaosbane here… it’s great how the mage plays in this… I like that idea of being able to control one spell with the R stick while still moving my character with the L stick and doing other things all at the same time…and he has a cool teleport as well so this character is definitely ok with me :+1:

This is so badass.

I wish it had step by step instructions because I don’t know how to do woodwork like that but can follow instructions.

POKEY!!! Yes!

Frozen coins??? Fuck yes!

Damn, you can play as Link, too? This update is awesome! The P switch blocks seem a little redundant with the existence of the On/Off switch, and still nothing about a new style. But I’m pretty excited nonetheless. And it’s out this week!

You gotta wonder- if they’re making a fully realized Link playable (with his unique moves)… I bet you Samus is coming once we get closer to new Metroid stuff. Holy shit.
