Sorry, but there is no excuse that CDPR can come up with that I'd buy into other than "OK, we fucked up". Your right @killamch89, we shouldn't be surprised, but not because of the PC benchmarks, but because of CDPR's behaviour. They wouldn't let reviewers use their own footage from their own recordings and didn't hand out review copies for consoles at all. Now, we know why. They never originally intend to launch with next-gen consoles nor the latest GPU's, so that's not an excuse either. The comparatively low power of the the PS4 and XB1 has nothing to do with this. Other developers have done and will continue to do cross gen development just fine. Even after failing to make it's launch date on no less than three different occasions over an eight year development cycle whilst crunching their staff and it's still a mess. People need to stop giving CDPR a free pass. See this for what it is. A shit show of incompetence and trying to to hide the truth from their customers all in the name of securing pre-orders.

It's used. In good shape, though.

I recently started playing FF7 Remake. I never actually played the original, but I dig it so far. I also played through Titanfall 2's simple player campaign. A lot of people have said and for a reason, it's superb. I admit the protagonist isn't very unique (he is literally a soldier named Jack Cooper, ffs), but the story itself, as military themed shooters go, is cool. Something very Star Wars about it. Not in a "rip off" ku d of a way, more of an homage, something that understands the art. Plus, the dialogue between Jack and the Titan BT-7242 is both heartwarming and funny and really feel a connection yo this character, and trust me it is a character. I picked this game super cheap on PSN a few days ago. I don't know if it still is, but whatever platform you have it's definitely worth having a look despite the likelihood of a dead muliplayer.

It's difficult to explain. It just comes down the the individual. Some stories, scenarios and characters can really inspire, provoke and drive an individual to see more, some don't, and it sometimes doesn't have anything much to do with the story itself. Personal mood, current state of mind, even ones health. A couple of things that may have contributed to my difficulty getting into the The Witcher is unfamiliarity with the lore as I hadn't read the books or played their previous games and the game seemed to overwhelm the the player with information in early going. There was so much think about and focus on at once it was more difficult to establish what the game was focusing in it terms of storytelling. I know that storytelling isn't as easy in an open world game, but I feel other RPG's like Skyrim and Horizon: Zero Dawn feed all the lore and active story elements in a way that was easier to digest. Well, that's the best I can do to explain, I hope that's enough.

The obvious answer is yes. He is a sadistic, selfish sociopath. I suppose you could consider his evil behaviour to be more like force of nature rather than will, like a storm on the horizon or volcanic eruption, but what's clear is he (and the other Deadric Princes) dose possess a will of his own and the ability to make choices. Choices limited by his purpose of being, but choices none the less. In conclusion, yes, he is evil.

The Seekers in Hermaeus Mora's realm of Apocrypha as seen in the Dragonborn expansion of Skyrim are pretty interesting. There's a sence of intelligence, yet primal viciousness about them.

I decided to by a replacement PS4. Found a very tidy Star Wars themed PS4 Pro at a local Cex store (For those who live outside the UK, its a national chain the operates like a pawn shop buying and selling electronics, phones, tables, computers, games, gaming hardware, DVD's, Bluray disks and so on). At £250 I think it's decent value and should hold me of until the time is right to move onto next gen. I should really lock this topic, but I think I'll leave it open for others to have there input and/or facing a similar situation.

It was spam. The user was going get some generic posts in then both activly and retroactively add junk posts. It's all taken care of now. Please report suspicious posts like this ASAP.

I've said it on the forum that I was gonna wait to buy a PS5, but now my PS4 is seriously starting to limp. The jet noise has been getting progressively worse, the power on/off senor isn't working and now the disk drive has packed in. I don't know if I can cope with this this thing for much longer, so what do you think. Should I try and PS5 it before the end of the year (I know it's a nightmare atm finding one) , find a replacement PS4 to do for a bit longer or try and stick it out and live with this one on life support? The thing I definitely won't do is buy from a scalper, absolutely not.

Lightly modded. It's the PS4 version so there's only so much one can do.

Been doing some Skyrim recently and was playing a surprisingly compelling and enjoyable Nights of Azure 2.

First of, here's a link to the Full Results There's little I'd personally disagree with here. I hay have had Ashley Johnson for best performance and I'm little unsure about the GTX 3080 winning the hardware award, but overall I'm quite happy with the winners. What do you guys think?

Got there before I did. From I know, we're talking about properly tedious stuff here. Move the character a little bit, have the character face all directions, move into all stances, face all directions for each again, move them slightly, rince and repeat for every pixel of space in that room. The fantasy rarely lives up to the reality, but that's especially true with video game testing.

As far as I can tell, one has to re-format a PS4 drive to work in another console, including another PS4. I found some instructions on how to do so for Playstation 4 consoles and with an external hard drive housing an Xbox one an format a PS4's hard drive then work just fine as an external drive. This will, ofcource, wipe out all the data on the drive each time you do so and that's not the only reason I don't see a huge benefit in doing this. The drive that comes with a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X will not only be larger, but likely faster than the rather dated and slow (and I mean slow even by the standards of the day) 500GB SATA II 5400rpm HDD that comes with the PS4 console. Still, I hope that helps and best of luck.

I remember someone deliberately melting a PS4 Pro when that console launched to "prove" that console has issues. At least this time it seams most people and the press aren't buying the bullshit story. Fanboys...

Western dev's/publishers have lost touch with the art, I'd agree, but the Japanese still know how to get this right IMO;

Speaking on behalf of most of the rest of the world, It's a great thing that amoral, adult-sized toddler has been voted out, but the very fact Trump was elected in the first place makes it clear cut Biden still has it all to prove getting so close to such a low bar. Trump was not the start of America's problem, he was the result of them, and those problems have not gone away just because he has. My open letter to America. Do better. Whilst this is a step in the right direction, it's still just one step. There's much to do.

This may not be a popular opinion, but in answer to the question are video games art my answer is a definitive no. Let me explain. Imagine you are laying out cards for a game of solitaire or setting up a chess board, is there any art in that? No, it's all about structure and rules to set up a challenge. That's what a game is. Games can't be art because they have a function. For something to be art, it has to have no purpose other than itself. However, cards and chess pieces have a design, a style that has no bearing on their purpose and that IS art. Just because a game, video or otherwise, is not art doesn't mean art can't be found in its make up can't help define it. More specifically, video games as a purpose exist to challenge and/or provoke a reaction from the player, but they always have an indigenous design and style that sets them apart each time, just like how chess sets and playing cards can have a variety of designs. So no, video games are not art, but art is an important it what video games what they are.

Locking thread and removing the links. The only reason I'm leaving the thread here instead of deleting it is to make it clear to others who post this content that it is not welcome. We're not rats to poke and prod in the name of helping your sponsors figure out how to sell stuff to us. And if you are just a student trying to fulfill a class requirement, stay, post content and learn. There's more to learn by actually contributing to the community rather than a lazy attempt to leach information though a survey. If you contribute, I may even allow the survey link up, but until then, either contribute meaningfully or go away.

I agree, this makes no sense whatsoever and will end up as another shitty, insulting and completely pointless spin-off like Metal Gear Survive or Umbrella Corps. The horrendously ill-conceived genre change is bad enough, but the fact that it's not even the same developer is just the icing on this shit cake.

Bonjour and welcome to VGR.

Welcome to the VGR community. If you need anything please let me know.

Maybe I shouldn't be so willing to be this blunt, but that may be one of the dumbest things that I have ever read. What difference does it make wether the player be male of female? Both are just as capable of both playing and cheating. Unless you have some proof that, for some reason, it's mostly female streamers doing this you would be better off keeping that misogynistic nonsense to yourself.

I hate to be pessimistic because this brilliant, but it's also not enough. Not even close. If EA is making €500,001 or more from lootboxes in FIFA in Holland they just pay the fine and keep going. Don't get come wrong I love this as it's an attempt to hit EA whare it hurts, but in final quarter of 2019, EA made $1 billion from microtransactions alone. That's worldwide and obviously not all from FIFA, but the point is €500,000 a week is barley a dent. Besides, all EA will do is remove them from that on one country. What @Kane99 said is true, we need more than one nation to do this to really get EA to take notice. Another solution would for FIFA fans to wake up stop buying this crap.

I'm a fan of the Idea that many developers have done and that's force cheaters to only play with each other. It's karmac by showing these annoying twit's what it's like to play with them, keeps them away from legitimate players and developers don't have to deal with assholes on Reddit drumming up a "controversy" by being "unfairly banned", when in 95% of cases it is 100% justified. So you see, everybody wins.
