This is going to be a powerpoint slideshow on Switch

It might be based on the 360/PS3 version, in which case it will run fine on Switch.

Crysis was an very impressive tech demo but the 'game' part was quite weak in certain areas and especially janky.

The first sandbox half of the game was ok and fun, but once you got to the alien stuff it all falls apart rather quickly.
I wonder how they're going to improve on that.

It's fun to look back at which big FPS games came out in 2007 and how it ultimately played out.
Bioshock
Call of Duty 4
Shadow of Chernobyl
Crysis
Portal

Yeah I also don't understand why a remaster of a FPS that didnt move the playing field in any way.

The only thing it had going for it were the graphics. Even the AI was trash

I mean, we live in a time when someone thought Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy and Ty the Tasmanian Tiger was worth an HD remaster.

While looking at the Touhou Luna Nights dev's site noticed they have a new game in development that is more directly Castlevania styled in part. Pixel art is on point.

The Early Access version available currently is only very short though according to reviews. Will be keeping an eye out for a full release.

I've never played PO Online or any other MMORPG and I'm keen to check it out on GamePass with the "perks".

Which reminds me, apparently World of Tanks has some bonus gamepass content too. Should give that another go

it's ok. you spend most of the intro doing tutorial quests. you can't trade items with people, that's for paid ("premium") people

the achievements aren't too terrible, most of it is grinding XP - which again isnt bad, the level cap is like 75 and you only need to hit 30.

i wouldnt expect much MMO when you're doing quests. you can come across random people in your instance fighting monsters but i dont think they join you in boss fights.

lobbies are usually full of people, most of them already like max rank and with the good shit.

it's whatever though.

Pretty easy to move games around though. Steam is pretty good about just letting you move folders to and fro.

Yeah, it seems like you'd have to choose one or two "big" games to keep on it.
Games like this, RDR2, Division, Hitman (at least this is modular) and whatnot, are not really games that you finish and quickly uninstall, which makes them being dozens and dozens of GB kind of annoying, if you don't have multiple 1TB SSDs.

Also modern SSDs seems to only have NvMe and similar contacts (like the Samsung 970) which makes it even more annoying, as you can't just have a bunch of them like with Sata.
I think my MoBo only has 2 NvMe slots, for example.

i have a 1tb sata ssd for game storage and a 1tb m2 for windows+apps, plus two other 1tb platter hdds for non-game storage. at least one of each seems to be the optimal setup imo.

*Nightfire video*

This popped up on YouTube. I loved this game back in the day but had totally forgotten about it. I really miss these sort of highly varied action games

Nightfire I think I only played the multiplayer at a friend's. Agent Under Fire, which was the game before Nightfire, I actually had. My dad is a Bond fan so this kind of shooting game was fine in his eyes

. I didn't have that much FPS experience up to that point so I found it fun at the time. Played a little bit of it again sometime during the 360 generation and realized that it was really quite bad. It made sense though why I enjoyed it back then. There was lots of variety, familiarity with Bond, general lack of FPS experience. Like I'm pretty sure the only FPS I had played up to that point was snippets of the first 2 Doom games, Goldeneye and it's sequel on N64 (only the multiplayer for both), Unreal Tournament, and multiplayer Halo. Now you can say "and somehow you didn't realize that compared to those games Agent Under Fire didn't compare?". When you're a kid, nah. Not really. You just recognize that shootbang is happening and if it isn't boring you, it's A OK in your book.

What's the point of this post? I don't know. When you're young you are able to have fun with things that aren't all that good cause you don't have that many comparisons I guess.

Nah you can make a new character thats non seasonal anytime you want. If it's like PC though you have to be in in the main menu to turn difficulty up (you can turn it down mid game though if shit gets too rough iirc). Seasonal just means you're on leaderboards and you get special seasonal items for doing certain shit.

Today my monitor decided to start doing this shit all over (i know it's the monitor, because it does so even when i unplug the Display Port from the PC).
What could it be?

It's a bunch of red vertical lines, but only on (any) pure black parts of the screen, and only on the left half of the monitor.
Also yes, that is an actual photo of the screen, because screen capture wouldn't capture the bug itself.

Any idea of what it could be? just a random hardware failure? I didn't hit it or anything, and i noticed it first today.

The monitor is some AOC ultrawide fancy shit i bought when i still had money.

EDIT:
Found this guy with the same issue, even if a different device, so i assume it's just my monitor failing.
I did get it on offer on the cheap after all, there was bound to be something.

Nintex · « **Reply #24299 on:** April 24, 2020, 05:43:10 PM »

Maybe a faulty cable?

Either inside the monitor itself or the cable that hooks up your PC and screen.

Quote

because screen capture wouldn't capture the bug itself.

That means that your GPU is a-ok and it's likely a cable, port or a cable in the monitor itself.

I found this on some other message board:

Quote

that is not a stuck pixel and no software is going to fix this. It is a TAB error and really can’t be fixed by DIY measures. You would have to disassemble your display assembly and put some pressure on the ribbon cable that enters the LCD display right where you see the red line. That should change that line. It is where the small ribbon cable is bonded to the panel and that bond has failed. Sometimes pressure and a piece of fabric tape can hold it down for wahile and make that line disappear, but that would be temporary.
