Next to TLOU2, Ubisoft delayed all AAA games slated for this FY because of the abysmal performance and quality of Breakpoint and Division 2.
- Watch Dog Legion
- The new Rainbow Six
- That BOTW rip-off

Are now delayed beyond March 2020.

People finally got tired of playing the exact same games 5x yearly I guess.

Ubi is probably my least favorite publisher. Everything is just so bland.

FYI: I highly suspect the delays is to try to move to the launch window on the new boxes to get some juice on these games.

I've got WWE 2K20 downloading on PC, the PC version is always a mess anyway, so I can't wait to see how fucked up this one is with how poor the QA was this year :rejoice
Friend at 2K says PC version isn't any worse than the rest sadly. Highly recommends some of the downloadable story or whatever clips people have made full of hilarious bugs. Amazing that even stuff that's been sitting in the game for years and seemingly wasn't touched is massively busted.

Started building my new PC at 6pm, finally done with hardware at 1am. Now for 2-3 hours of software loading
Really didn't like this Phantaks Evo X case, first of all metal and glass suck and it was just really inconvienent to get around. My heatsink sucks too in that it's gigantic.

At least it's really quiet so far. Gotta update video drivers and get steam/gamepass and try running some stuff, especially with some heat temps since I'm running the i9-9900k which gets hot and I had some trouble getting my heatsink on right :|

I completely forgot he bought RAM because it has LEDs.

My favorite sorta strange part has always been how like a whole minute is spent on the back panel for the mobo and how important it is for putting in the mobo. When you literally can't fuck it up and he totally ignores the screws in the case which is the part that makes it so you can't put the mobo in wrong. :lol

why did he do the CPU last, especially with all that crazy shit he put on top of it that he never explained all the tubes and crap

"it'll like basically keep it cool" close enough i suppose

what do you mean "turns on normally" and "off the power"

I'd suspect the power supply and its connections first

If you want an easy to install CPU fan get a Noctua. They're awesome.

As for the PC not powering on. That's usually a PSU issue, so your power supply does not have sufficient power to boot the system or there's a faulty cable somewhere.
A memory issue can also be the cause, faulty memory dimm prevents booting. Try booting with less memory (1 dimm instead of 2 or 4, depending on your setup).

Sushi-X was really upset about the Rygar port on Lynx:


Still gave the "good excuse for capital punishment" a 5 which was actually pretty darn close to an average score in the early EGM days. (For one thing they didn't give 1s or 10s until Street Fighter II.) He gave a 2 to Total Recall for the NES and just wanted to forget about it, allowing the developers to live to develop again!

If you mean “it turns on only after I let it sit while powered off” i would highly suspect it’s some sort of heat issue.

My guess would be PSU fan because an overheated cpu would probably give you the “I’m not starting but im going to give you a bunch of scary sounding beeps that you will look up in the manual”. But maybe some sort of blocked intake or something too

I fucking hated the Noctua DH15 last night when building. Fuck that oversized thing that makes it take 45 mins to try to squeeze you hand between it and the case to get some connectors in.

Seems to run pretty quiet and cool once it’s in tho

Definitely sounds like something is dead. Otherwise it wouldn't even boot and get that far. Maybe hard drive or ram or something related to the Windows OS?

Blasting the dust out of it with compressed air will probably make it run better, since overheating will make it throttle the cpu. Worth a shot. Also disable all unnecessary startup programs.

They would probably do a NCAA basketball game before football. In years past the NBA game has licensed certain schools at times.

I doubt VC is ever going to get back to trying to do more sports considering those license costs, MLB was an expensive disaster, and what happened to WWE is kinda impressive really.

EA can far more easily toss stuff on their existing football again. I don't know what the various smaller developers might do. AXIS Football and such.

I'm not sure why they couldn't have just iterated on last year's version. That was a decent base for a franchise. To cut the whole thing to win next gen seems unlikely. Although at this point 2k is such a staple its hard to envision anything stopping that train even if they aren't quite living up to what they should be.

This was actually what they did before the current gen started too, cancelled the game and were relaunching it on the next gen. Meanwhile people who just wanted a basketball game got addicted to 2K's many modes and it was on every single platform even the Wii still for like 2K14.
