This is a known bug with NPC followers who battle with magic. There are number of mods that fix and generally improve follower AI as well as console commands that can break the character out of "fighting stance", but because you're on PS3, that's not really an option. The only things I can really suggest is moving in an out of that zone to reset the follower AI, go to a previous save or attack her yourself until she's knocked out to force the AI to stop combat.

I'm sure I'm with you on those. Checkpoint saves are a simple convenience that allows the player to not loose an insane amount of progress while immersed in a game, thus in a state where it can be very easy to forget to save. And weapon wheels I see as a quick, cleaver and convenient way of switching weapons without having to use more immersion breaking and clumsy menus, especially on console where hot-keying is often not possible or convenient to implement.

I concur. Even on the hottest of days there is no reason game consoles should overheat unless there is some unrelated problem.

This thread pretty much reflects my expectations. For the vast majority of people. In the end, it is little more than an arbitrary hobby and not something one needs to survive everyday life. But of course, there are exceptions, such as people in a similar situation as @The Blackangel. It can mean so much more than just a mere hobby in general as well. A catalyst for social interaction and expression. If it wasn't for gaming, it's very likely none of us would even be here. Yes, gaming is, at it it's core, a luxury and a hobby and nothing more, but that does not diminish how important it can be.

Looking forward to it. Let us know when you're uploading and I'll definitely be checking it out.

Lets do a checklist; Demons? Check Old stone building with sculptures, arches and shit? Check Playing as someone who is near death? Check Very white shin with very dark hair? Check Industrial Punk/Metal Soundtrack? Check Gargoyle for a friend? Check Yep, this is about as goth as it gets.

Why would you want a Virtual Boy emulator? That like saying "I wish the health inspector would re-open that Deli down the street because I miss the diarrhoea."

I would have the sound be replaced with a voice saying the actual word. I dare to imagine that and not laugh.

Based on what I've been able to dig up online, running the games using compatibility mode may work, so it's worth a shot if you haven't tried it. Are you using digital copies or are you trying to run the game from a disk?

First off, you are berating people; And second, for what feels like the millionth time, all GPU brand software can be used a benchmarking tool, that's the core of what this software is supposed to do. Using benchmark software that fits the brand of the specific brand of card you're using offers more options and better compatibility, that what both me and @Crazycrab have been trying, completely in vain it seems, to explain. There's nothing at all wrong with Afterburner, it's just worth considering using the software that is indigenous to your hardware, that's all we're trying to say.

The only game I've had trouble with running on modern hardware was Fallout 3, and that game really is a certifiable nightmare, but I did get their in the end. Like I said, emulation is often the way to make older games work on newer set ups. It's not perfect, but it's often the only way. Can you give me an example of a game you're struggling with?

And software like ASUS Tweak is for exactly that, the only difference is Tweak is optimised for ASUS cards just like how Afterburner is optimised for MSI cards. It's a similar story for every company that sells their own brands of GPU. All @Crazycrab was tying to point out is that, while there is nothing wrong with Afterburner, if you have "X" brand of graphics card, you're probably better off using that same brand's software to benchmark, optimise and overclock with it, and he's right. It's now taken two of us to explain that to you. This is a good topic, a very good topic, may even be worth pinning, but not while you argue with and berate people for sharing their own recommendations and input. If you keep this up, I'll have to lock the topic as it will be clear you aren't interested in other people having an input, only yourself. As that, the topic is all but pointless. Don't force my hand and for God's sake let this go.

Windows 10 has a compatibility feature. Failing that, there's always emulation.

That's enough. Not only has @Crazycrab been consistently been one of the most technically adept members of this community, he's also 100% correct on this. MSI Afterburner is compatible with other brands of GPU, but is completely pointless when that brand of GPU will have it's own, indigenous software to perform the same functions. If you have an ASUS GPU for example, you shouldn't use Afterburner when you could GPU Tweak III instead. It will be more compatible and allow access to features exclusive to that ASUS card. Berating someone like you have over correcting a point you made is bad enough if you're right, that's bad manners, but when you were wrong the whole time just adds and embarrassment factor to it all. For you own sake as much as anyone else's, stop it.

As far as I know, the reason Sony do this is because they don't want premium items being shown on games they host that weren't bought from PSN. For example, if you see a really cool car skin on Rocket League, Sony only want people who admire the skin to buy it from PSN. If it was bought somewhere else, they don't want it shown on a PlayStation game, even if it's a multiplatform title. It's ridiculous.

Due to some very serious concerns regarding security and information being posted to this and other threads on VGR, I will be locking this thread and making some edit's to posts, at least temporality until this situation is resolved. Any further discussion on the matters brought up in this thread anywhere on VGR will be dealt with immediately and severely.

I don't mind it all, and you bring up a valid point. The thing is the Mortal Kombat thing was really more about censorship rather than social politics. I could make a strong case justifying the backlash games like Mortal Kombat had as, as the time, games were sold very much as toys, not like an the entertainment medium as they are now. The ratings system wasn't in place either, so the companies involved couldn't play the "It's intended for adults" card. That's why that we all should be thankful organisations like the ESRB and PEGI exist despite their problems. Without them, there would be no GTA, TLOU, Assassins's Creed, The Witcher or any other more adult themed games. It's still good that people like Ed Boom and John Tobias didn't give in, if the hadn't, games made and rated for adults would have never happened and censorship would have ruined games in general.

Been playing a bit of modded Skyrim SE, Oblivion and Fallout New Vagas as of late. Also been playing Marvel's Avengers. It's actually not a bad game, just it's live service platform is irritating.

If there really was no other way to buy the console then I would, but I would grudge it. Unused codes and unwanted physical copies can be sold or traded in, so it's no big loss. Besides, who knows. you actually might end up liking the bundle games after (unless its like FIFA or some other "game" that only exists as a platform to sell microtransactions)

Then explain what you actually mean by the statement. Even if I had made the exact opposite assumption on the political bias, the idea "political pandering" will ruin games makes just as little sense. Developers has the right to design and develop thier characters and stories exactly they want without being accused of the bullshit narrative know as "political pandering" no matter what direction they happen to be moving towards. So fill the gap, what kind of "political pandering" will ruin games? EDIT. You're right, @m76 I was out of line. I've had time to think about it and I was presumptuous and hypocritical, and I am sorry. Hope to see when us put this behinds us when next you visit.

Modern standards of graphics have spoiled me a little I admit, at least in the AAA market, but do take it for granted? I would say no. I'm not the most vain of individuals when it comes to games, I just expect certain standards and I'd say that's perfectly fair. If there is anything that's going to ruin gaming for me, it will be one or both of the following; This push towards "live services" where you have to always be online, but the game holds no such demands for itself. The freemium concept. Mobile gaming is a complete joke to me because of it, but it's already creeping out of that cesspit and into other platforms, especially on PC's with so many of these rat pellets now available on both. Let me guess, the "political pandering" you speak off is whenever a game features characters that aren't straight white men? Oh no! Our hero is named Aisha off to save her girlfriend! Gaming is doomed... why?

I wouldn't waste your time @Reality vs Adventure. What we clearly have is a deluded, sheltered, ignorant, stubborn individual determined to deny reality because acknowledging reality would burst his bubble. Sexual harassment, systemic racism, gender inequality, homophobia, bullying in the workplace, unfair treatment, just convince yourself that these things don't exist and the world will be better. That's not someone being singled our for being black, he's just the most suspicious person there. Thank you law-man for beating that "suspicious" man up and treating me with civility and restraint because I don't look "suspicious", unlike him. I love working with woman in the workplace and see them as just a capable as anyone else. That, over there, is not a woman being groped, that's just an example of a playful, fun workplace. She should stop wanting to be treated with respect and just enjoy the attention. It's a compliment, really. I'm not transphobic, I'm just saying that, so called, "transgender woman" has to use the men's bathroom. I don't care that the statistics show he is far more likely to be the victim of a sexual assault, It makes ME uncomfortable, and that's all that matters. I don't have an issue with gay people, just don't put them in my games and movies. I'm not being homophobic, it's just having such things in my entertainment is bringing "politics" into it, because that's the only reason anyone would have LGBTQ+ representation in the games, TV shows and movies I like. Politics. Creative liberty only exists when it suits me. That's not someone being degraded and overworked, that's just some kind and gentile encouragement to do better. If I get, so called, "mistreated", the answer is for everyone to be "mistreated" the same way, then we're all equal. How could there possibly be another answer? Blacks have themselves to blame for the way they are treated because they call attention to the fact they are treated differently. They are basically calling themselves inferior because it's not possible for a white person to be offered better opportunities as a result of the colour of their skin. Look at the stat's. There were less single parent families in America and lower crime rates before the civil rights movement. That can only mean things were better back then. Obviously segregation wasn't racist because I don't suffer racist abuse, so it clearly didn't exist then any more back then it does now. All this talk about prejudice make us non-prejudiced, straight, cisgender white people uncomfortable, so let's stamp it out so we can feel better. The only way to end prejudice is for everyone to shut up about it. That's the idea, but how to do it... Wait, I got it! Let's push the narrative that people protesting inequality are actually the bad people! Mention at random black communities have higher crime rates and point looting happens when they protest, just work it in there somehow. Say "Calling out racism is racist because that's saying there is some kind of difference". Yeah, that'll do. Point out you yourselves have been given a hard time and not had it easy despite being white, so no black persons problems can have nothing to do with race. That's good stuff. And, most important, don't ever acknowledge any of the facts that prove prejudice and mistreatment are real as facts. If people find out about them, they'll start to think, and we don't want them to think. If we convince enough people to stop claiming that prejudice exist it'll just disappear. That's how we achieve equality. It's especially important for all us whites to band together and declare "I'm not racist, so no other white can be!" instead of acknowledging this alleged "racism" and deciding that silence on the issue from us non-racists is, in fact, the problem. Those people who try to call this out are just "snowflakes". /end sarcasm. Obviously, some of the examples about are exaugurated and I'm just using them to make a point. Prejudice is only part of the problem, silence on it is the real issue. I don't believe for one second that you are racist or any other form of prejudiced, but as such it's up to you and other people who are not subject to it to speak up. You don't have to be prejudiced to help sustain it.

Strange, I don't actually recall my armourer skill taking that long. Maybe it just didn't feel as long as I tended to use a mixture of trainers and organic gameplay to do it.

Given that the only "innovations" games companies are apparently capable of implementing these days are new and ingenious ways you empty your wallet, I'll go for the classic, reliable experience.
