System Wars Lounge v54: The So Many Games Edition

I JUST BUILT MY NEW PC!

Too bad the Fan I actually bought for it couldn't fit in the case. I'll have to settle for the stock cooler till I buy a bigger and better case.

BUT I'M NOW IN THE NEXT GENERATION SUCKAS! GTX970 with Windows 8.1 with 16gb of DDR3 ram and an i5 Quad Core CPU. HAHA! I'm already downloading a game to test out the hardware.

The last mission in Star Wars: Dark Forces... jeez...

Studying, been playing some adult games (that are surprsingly good), playing some old school cRPGs, been playing a few strategy games, and trolling and exposing quacks making them lose customers and hopefully putting them in jail. Finally saw some news about Mount and Blade

Is it just me or does this entire window remind me a bit of Civilization 5?

Short answer: No

Long answer: It is decent while the fresh car scent is in. But the PvE mechanics are a broken mess and the lack of variety in sPvP made sPvP utter shit too (only conquest, and I have never seen conquest work well in a 5v5 game). Not to mention downed states. There was a tournament hosted by arenanet on twitch a while back, but that thing had less than 3000 viewers. Clearly this game is not esports material. Mindless and Zerg are common ways to describe the WvW and PvE. You wont find any depth, challenge or variety in this game, it quite frankly is the Oblivion of MMOs. If you want a RvR game, just play something like PlanetSide 2. Way better mechanics and free to play too.

Edit: I miss Dark Age of Camelot. Best RvR game ever made.

I rented The Order 1886 because **** it, it can't be as bad as Resident Evil 6.

Good news: yep, not as bad as Resident Evil 6

Bad news: Yep, still a bad game.

At least the graphics department did their job.

Ordered an N64 and GameCube game off Amazon. One of them is a classic by Rare, the other is one of the only few decent games in this part of the Star Wars universe.

Me neither. Doesn't mean I liked it though. :P

I just really like when characters start to act more grizzled. I definitely agree with your points, but it still bugged me anyway only because I knew he would break down near the end like many other characters do in these types of scenarios. I do like that he has some humanity in him though, as even the beginning of the second season was a little too brooding for my tastes haha.

It's really the only way to go really. If you start a series like this with him being the way he is now, it would probably get boring. The flip side is that he was a little too much of a cry baby and was pretty useless in season 1 for the most part.

@AznbkdX: its a way for the writer to show character growth and development through suffering. It was hilarious how much of a weakling kaneki was lol. Now he can destroy armies of CCG soldiers with no issues. I liked his display of humanity too. How he saved those two CCG soldiers during his fight with Amon.

I remember someone saying a cup of tee has had more screen time in some episodes of season 2 than kaneki lol. :p

Also to be fair he wasn't as wimpy in the manga like he was in the season 1 anime. They made him weaker.

We can hope that some studio like Mad House will adopt the manga properly or the studio that did attack on titan.

The Critical Miss Guide to GPUS

So the GTX Titan X is profoundly disappointing given its ridiculous price point. Then again, most of the Titan lineup has fallen squarely into the e-peen-extender category. The X, with its ridiculous 12GB of VRAM (though knowing Nvidia it's probably 11.5) and somehow underwhelming performance benchmarks seems like the latest in a long line of overpriced shit.

I'll take two.

Oh shit

@Maroxad: Banner Saga looks soooo gooooood. And thankfully they cleared up on that "console-specific" mistranslation fiasco. Now that I hear Viking Conquest bugs are ironed out, I might just get that one. Did they confirm M&B2 is coming out this year?

Also, I got GW2 for 10 bucks..... Still haven't installed it.

looks good

though you have no optical drive, so I assume you're going to install Win via usb

oh. I didn't think of that/

But I do have an optical drive on the PC I'm using so...

desktop? it should work

or: http://arstechnica.com/business/2009/12/the-usb-flash-drive/

Yeah. Mistranslations can really cause a lot of problems and really skew a message. As this incident showed.

We still dont know the release date of the game.

I just realised I need optical drive since I'm getting TW3 on physical copy.

I thought this was about marijuana. >.>

Well, for you, I would share. <-<

Yeah, I left the puzzle in question and came back to it the next day and solved it in about 10 mins. I find those to be the best puzzles as it actually toys around with cognitive problem solving that allows you to percieve how the game mechanics are used to get to a solution in varying ways. Then with a fresh look at the puzzle the next day or after a break and you see things differently.

Sweet! How are you liking that GPU?

I like how you, @funsohng and I have very similar specs. I'm currently stress-testing my stock i5 4690k.

just watched Persona 3 The Movie 2 and man, the story-telling of these games really don't translate well to movies, like at all. And to make it worse, all the original tracks they made for the movie suck major ass. They should of stuck with the original OST from start to finish if they were not able to create something that'd be on par with it.

More members of the Master Race, I like what I'm seeing.

@lundy86_4: everything is so smooth now! Can't return to my old build.

Same. I'm still waiting on my 970, but I have Windows installed to an SSD, with a 3TD media drive... I'll never not love SSD.

Once you go SSD, you never go back.

Has it always been your dream to host a version of the lounge?

Well, for a few days, I'm taking sign ups. It's on a first come first served basis, and I'll only take one reservation in this list per user (Sorry, but I gotta be fair)

v55- (23 March 2015)

v56- (13 April 2015)

v57- (4 May 2015)

v58- (25 May 2015)

v59 -(15 June 2015) [This one is right after E3, for whoever is interested.)

v60- (6 July 2015) Reserved for Blabadon

Watching Windows boot in about 5 seconds is Godly.

What you running, 7 or 8.1?

@verbtex: 60

Got it.

Huh more awesomeness. Need to buy skylines.

One Punch man is getting an anime by Mad House studios.

Yeah, i thought it was great, probably one of the best SH'MUPs that was available on PC for awhile until some ports of classics and Doujin games started to pop up on Steam recently (like Ikaruga, Astebreed, Revolver360 and Crimzon Clover).

I didnt really like the last level, though, which added some movement restrictions with how the level was designed: things like opening and closing doors that killed you if you get crushed between or caught and the screen pans up and you're stuck in the bottom.

Just finished the MM remake

Forgot how OP the Stone mask was lol.

So I finally registered for Gamefly. On my free 1 month trial currently. Have you guys had good experiences with this service?

I want to play Bloodborne but it would be nice to finish Demons Souls/Dark Souls first

@Allicrombie: You can always go back. Bloodborne seems to be a clean cut from Demon/Dark Souls in terms of continuity.

@Desmonic: that's true, just seems silly to pick it up when I haven't even finished the others.

@Allicrombie: Seems even sillier to not be on the hype train to be honest :P

@Desmonic: Oh come on, I am TOO hyped !

@Allicrombie: Not enough to buy it :P

Takes way too long to get games.

What's up people?

But you will die like a million times playing it.=p

@mitu123: what are you doing in here?!

Only if you live in a 3rd world country or a toilet.

Ordered my 970 today, with a copy of The Witcher 3... Hnnnng!

I got to wait two months before I can get my new build.

For what you're buying, that's not too bad. I'm excited, because I missed a number of games between builds, plus i'll be able to play upcoming games.

@lundy86_4: what is your avatar from?
