/cog/ General, a thread for all things /tg/ & /v/idya that doesn't have it's owne thread. Steam Sale SOON edition

Y'all beat be having fun playan' vidya and play by the rules.

Old thread ==> >201749

The Crazy Taxi patents ought to have expired around the end of last October, so any developers who've been wanting to make something like Simpsons Hit and Run and can start revving their engines.

Also, on the topic of game mechanics I'd like to see used more, Breath of the Wild's sheild surfing is great, and I wouldn't mind seeing ti spread to other game franchises.

Completely unexpected news; I just heard today that they are remastering S.W.I.N.E. so it works fine on modern systems & in widescreen.

S.W.I.N.E. HD Remaster Bejelentés 2019

Maybe now I'll finally have a chance to finish the game...

At first I thought this was that other pig soldier game, Hogs of War.

Looks like Steam Summer Sale dates have been leaked, and they're a bit early compared to previous years:

>The Steam Summer Sale will begin on June 11 and last until June 20, according to a prematurely-revealed social post.

… you are right, most of my titles have updates queued too. Including ones last updated in 2014. I wonder what's going on.

quick google search says:
Steam updating shared .NET, Visual C++ and PhysX libraries - That is what the mass updates are for.

So nothing serious.

I've got 100% achievements in 67 games of my library but my Steam profile says I only have it in 66.
This gross injustice against the sweat of one's brow infuriates me.

A tribute to all games that are awesome.

Kuvo has lost his mind, and he's taking his brother, Geop, Vicas, and some other person down with him

They'll be renaming it Castle Super Beast.

>417473

Oh for sure. Defiantly been a true anime with them seeing the outpouring from the lives they touched doing what they do. They've had so much influence and yet always pretty much remained who they are. Their impact on Gaming has been immense. Pretty much instrumental in saving Japan Gaming in some aspects.

Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed

South Park Gaming thread, from the new RPGs to the classic first-person shooter. All are welcome.

Personally I've gotten ridiculously hyped over Fractured But Whole, makes me keep browsing the same information about it over and over again.
If anyone has something new then share it, need to scratch that itch.

Here's the newer gameplay video.

>Being a straight white male still triggers the Redneck fights.

Honestly that's the funniest way to play it.

Tried starting a second playthrough as a female to see if there's any notable changed dialogue.

While the game is great its not something you can really playthrough twice, stalled somewhere in the middle.

What did people think of the DLC content? The new party members are pretty good in each of them.

FFXV Uncovered was one of the most absurd conferences I have watched in my time following this stupid industry.

I couldn't be more excited.

Console build, already one of the most gorgeous games I've ever seen, is still only DX11. The PC version is coming out later than the console one, but they've said they'll probably spec up for it.

>202488
It's a free demo, you can just try it yourself. And there's also a benchmark http://benchmark.finalfantasyxv.com/na/ , which is a much smaller download. Both run pretty smoothly on my low-mid tier rig, but don't look too fancy.

So, what wasn't in the demo or benchmark was Denuvo which can downright kill your performance. That means the benchmark and demo are pretty worthless at giving you a preview of how the game will run on your PC.
And also something that happens on every PC: Summoning breaks the game and it's stuck on 10-15 FPS until you restart it.
Goddammit Squeenix.

>202492
Update: They patched the summon bug. Denuvo continues to be a blight.

They are burnt out. They don't like fantasy any more.

>202470
That's normal, do your part and try something different.

That is some quality arght.

ENDSVILLE IS BURNING edition

last thread >189041

Looks like Kaladesh is the artifact centric plane as we saw it in Origins. And Tezzeret is mucking about for reasons, so my bet is on Phyrexians in the second half. Poison counters plus Energy counters, oh my!

https://magic.wizards.com/en/products/unstable/askurza

Man, not even fucking Magic can stay drama free these days. I wish I didn't have to know about this pathetic fucking "man" and his shitty Youtube channel.

So rivals of Ixalan is out this week.
It kinda cements the fact this was a real grab bag setting.

Video game kickstarter thread

What are your feelings about it?

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mightyno9/red-ash-the-indelible-legend?ref=category_popular

Has something changed with Kickstarter?

My profile stuff at the top of the screen isn't the same an I can't navigate like I used to.

>202431
Think it might specifically be a problem with Chrome.

Watched Liam play through the Jack and Casie demo. Looks like quite a lot of fun and is either going to cater to my sense of OCD or drive me fucking insane (in a good way).

Also, TF2 general.

Brand new update!
New maps, new taunts, HUGE BALANCE, PASS Time out of the beta, and what most people wanted: a fresh new MatchMaking system for TF2!

/cog/ General: 8.5 gen edition

Regardless of your preference of platform, I hope everyone is having fun playing vidya. I know I am.

old thread ==> >201034

>202296
I kinda take back what I said here after kinda calming down from my initial "they changed it so it sucks!" attitude. The combat and stat system is still very dumbed down in comparison to the previous game (which I know could even be a positive to some), but the improvements in writing, world-building and actual roleplaying opportunities make up for it. It's a really good game if you're not looking for strategic depth but rather a great world to explore full of little very memorable moments.

>202311
And as long as you aren't looking make all your armor the same color.

The evil within 2 is doing a lot to try and make up for the first game.

Xcom 2 is almost upon us, info on aliens and classes being thrown down left and right.

Who else HYPED?

>201709

neat that they've been made part of Dev for further game work. Maybe they'll be part of the dev group for the third game.

The Xcom 2 expansion has been confirmed, War of the Chosen.
