    System Shock Enhanced Edition

    SS is IMO a better overall game than SS2 which I still consider a masterpiece. Unfortunately the original's mechanical chunkiness and archaic systems come across as incredibly jarring to contemporary sensibilities while SS2 is recent enough to not show through as much. It may seem like there...

    Introduction to Mobile Graphics Workshop

    Aww this is really interesting but it's too close and (our) classes begin next week. Hopefully there will be other programmes in the coming months.

    Metal Gear Solid V & Ground Zeroes on Steam

    I read somewhere that if you extract, rather than kill, the finger and the eye they'll be in TPP. Don't forget there's another prisoner you can only extract before rescuing either Paz or Chico. Also IIRC, collecting all the tapes will also give you something.

    Metal Gear Solid V & Ground Zeroes on Steam

    Yeah, I have been playing GZ trying to get all the achievements and I've been very impressed with the engine, and really happy with performance.

    DX12 Performance Discussion And Analysis Thread

    Hmm... I agree, while the rest of the system is obviously different just looking at the latest two posts: HD 7950, compute only takes 245.03ms at 512 while the R290X takes 413.43ms? HD 7950, single cmd list is worse than async by about 15% but the R290X is almost 95% faster with a single cmd list?

    Steam, Origin, Epic, Twitch, Good*, *Games Sales [2007-2021]

    I've been meaning to replay that for quite a while now. Is there any fan patch or something? Btw Davros, thanks for the links. I've updated the Free Games List thread.

    New(ish) Deus Ex

    AFAIK from reading the Steam forums, there are still issues that make it an inferior game to the original + missing link, namely audio problems, the removal of the gold tint, performance issues, etc. The updated list is here. I'm not in a hurry to play the DC but I am curious about the new boss...

    Assassins Creed Unity

    I'm more excited about the setting and location. Almost done with AC3 and the colonies' lack of tall structures and focus on warfare drain the fun out of the game. As for Unity, the graphics look impressive. Perhaps too impressive but we'll see.

    New(ish) Deus Ex

    Meh, I'm putting off getting DXHR DC because of all the outstanding issues and now this... thing.

    What are you playing now? [2007-2018]

    Almost done with Just Cause 2. Only missing the Legendary Agent achievement (complete game on extreme difficulty) which will take me around 8 more hours. Anyway, one of my favourite games of all time. I never played the first game and only picked it up last winter because of the Steam sale but...

    Battlefield 4

    Now you can only revive someone to 20hp unless you charge the paddles but timing it correctly is tricky and I've not yet found an indicator signaling it's ready to go full charge. I can count with just one hand how many times I've been revived. In most rounds, I'm responsible for over half...

    Battlefield 4

    What do you guys think of the shock paddle nerf? When I first read about it, it seemed a fine way to stop the medic trains but having played it it seems they went too far in the other direction. Also, this map doesn't feel like BF for me. I'm not talking about domination, which is strictly CoD...

    Heh, to be fair, a shapechanger or similar called Sixskins isn't that much better. :P

    What are you playing now? [2007-2018]

    Wait, you're terrible with names? A bard called Sixstrings? Whenever I get the urge to read GoT to see WTH everyone is raving about I'll remind myself of that character name. Anyway, 99.5% done with AssCreed Brotherhood. I'm just missing one small optional objective in one mission: not being...

    What are you playing now? [2007-2018]

    Hmm... well just as a matter of principle. I always try to beat a game 100% so I guess my anal retentive self might not cope with knowing there's "other content" out there I don't get to experience. It's bad enough when there's no way to get this content because of console exclusivity deals...
