Do you have any knowledge or thoughts how and when the PC version will be announced?

genuinely wish i did have that information but thats not normally what testers would know. i did hear there should be a second wave of things coming soon so maybe announcements soon possibly ? but with this third test alot more issues has arised so i dunno if that will intertwine with that being pushed back. i know of another game (not sony related) that finished testing in feb and still hasnt even been announced yet but the port is completey finished so that can also kinder show in these situations what can happen with testing/announcing

Was the VtMB2 Mitsoda thing already discussed? (Was let go as narrative lead of the project)

I feel like the best possible way to interpret it is that they feel the narrative is "done" and want to save money, but even that doesn't sound particularly good.

Yeah, I believe the Sony rumors but not Breath of the Wild. That game is still selling well on switch at full price, whereas Sony games are selling at less than $20.

Even with the base game narrative being preserved, this should harm any potential DLC a lot. Thank fuck Malkavians are in the base game, I feel bad for people looking forward to Nosferatu now.

Yes, that's my takeaway as well. They're simply being cheap because they don't want to pay him anymore since his work is basically done. But still, that's totally fucked up. They'll have to put his name on the credits anyway.

The alternative would be a nightmare. They sacked him because they're revamping the narrative from scratch. Which is almost impossible to be done at the current stage of the game's development, unless they delay it for another year or two.

So this makes it seem more like Paradox being cutthroat than any sort of messy development they're clamping down on.

So is the same character from Journey to the West, just, as a more simian design (I don't understand the monkey king story very well)

The History of MUDs

I kind of miss the times where graphics were evocative rather than articulate and half the rendering engine laid between your ears.

The closest thing to that feeling I can get these days is with games that encourage you to form your own story, to roleplay a character. It's a tremendously difficult task for a game to be reactive, yet leave you room to imagine the grander and more intimate aspects of the tale, to make it something personal and bigger than just the game.

Enderal is the last game to really do this for me and Kingmaker before it but some decisions in that game are just sub-optimal if you want to roleplay. It's hard not to look up guides. I also really liked Risk of Rain 2 for its evocative art style. It strikes that strange balance that isn't photorealistic and doesn't look like anything, yet strongly evokes a sense of place.

It looks beautiful and the animation work is amazing. It's also the most E3 of all footage we've seen this year. I would take that "gameplay" with a fistful of salt, it looks to me to be staged to hell and back :).

Still very much interested into more Chinese culture, if possible free of CCP messaging woven into it.

I don't know. I've never played it, but you need some way to define your character though.

Gorgeous visuals, beautiful music, intelligent/intuitive mechanics, uplifting tone.

Spiritfarer exudes joy from top to bottom. You're a ferrymaster charged with helping souls cross over. Story bits string you along as you sail the seas picking up passengers, discovering new locations and completing character-specific missions that will find them closure before moving on to the next realm.

The game combines light platforming & traversal upgrades with management mechanics such as building out your boat and keeping your passengers fed & happy. Pacing feels just right as there's always something to do, but you never feel rushed. The mood is Zen without feeling sleepy.

There's so much heart put into this production that it's kinda hard to put into words. The attention to detail is impressive (eg, there's no voice acting but the character expressions & animations are exemplary). Feels great to play both mechanically and emotionally. With the world outside seeming so dour, it's the perfect time to enjoy entertainment like this. It serves to remind us all that caring and humanity still exist. Has a legit magical vibe to it.

Currently free on Game Pass for XB & PC. Also on Steam & other consoles.

I fully expect this one to make waves (lol).

I hope people go back to play Sundered. Underrated game by Thunder Lotus.

I need some help. At my work I told my supervisor that we should upgrade our CPUs since the software that we are using is very CPU intensive and when ever we are editting mesh/merging that mesh into one item all cores shoot up to 100% utilization.


We have in intel i7-6xxx and I tell i7-8xxx I can't recall what model they are. The 8th Gen one has 12 cores? (Maybe it was 6) but it has a boost clock speed of over 4.1GHz.

Any suggestions for a CPU upgrade? I'm going to try to run some test to try to get the IT people and their supervisors to agree to update the machines once we show them how slow they are, so at least to machines may get upgrades. So the CPU+Mobo will have to be replaced. Suggestions for that as well.

PC-tan current gen amd ryzen is showing very well in multicore performance vs intel and their higher end is 12 core @ 3.9 ghz/4.6 boost (3900x) or 16 core @ 3.5 ghz/4,7 boost (3950x). there's the real high end of 3990x 64 core @ 2.9 ghz/4,3 boost but that's like $4000 a cpu so maybe not a good option.

your 8xxx cpu is probably a 6 core, cause i don't think there was a 12 core 8000 series but i might be wrong there.

Honestly, with Hitman 3 I was honestly worried that it would never happen. People don't buy immersive sims, as Dishonored and the new Deus Ex games have shown (despite being excellent games). If Tim Sweeney needs to fund it for it to happen and keep happening, then I'm A ok with that.
Still means I won't buy until it hits PC proper, but it feels less egregious than other EGSlusives

Has it been confirmed whether or not Hitman 3 is doing the always-online horseshit the last two games did? I don't know whether I should be sad about egs exclusivity, or if I should just not care.
