Artificial scarcity is a valid business strategy. But it only works if you have a comparable down market solution to satisfy demand. If you don't have that then all you're doing is antagonizing your most loyal customers for no reason.
By Smokey Go To Postnobody picked up the uncharted 4 expansion?whole new game breh. Just came home to it delivered, about to play.
edit: JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ, a few minutes in and it already looks better than UC4, ND fixed the weird SSS issue for the character models in sunlight.
By s y Go To Postwhole new game breh. Just came home to it delivered, about to play.Is there open areas in that game? The E3 demo looked like a funnel.

By rvy Go To PostIs there open areas in that game? The E3 demo looked like a funnel.Apparently there's an area that's like triple the size of madagascar in UC4
By s y Go To PostApparently there's an area that's like triple the size of madagascar in UC4
why the fuck did I think the game was like a funnel
I'll get it when it's cheap.
artificial demand only works if you eventually restock the product.
NES was just them underestimating the demand massively and not bothering to apologise

By reilo Go To Posthow can people hate on mcdonaldsMy post was sarcasm but ok
they cover everything people want. Your typical hamburger, a salad, a soda, your veggies in fries.
food industry is nuts
Figured the "one of the most requested features" part would have given it away. I'll try to not to be so subtle next time

By Kibner Go To PostAny interest in me doing a trip report to Quakecon? I leave tomorrow morning to drive there.Do a vlog
By s y Go To PostDo a vlogI'll see what I can do. Might be too loud to record voice on the floor. Will definitely try to find the coolest case mods.
By Kibner Go To PostI'll see what I can do. Might be too loud to record voice on the floor. Will definitely try to find the coolest case mods.You can just do a 5-10min recap after every session and inter-splice it with whatever footage they show, trailers, tech, etc. and provide your two cents.
By reilo Go To PostYou can just do a 5-10min recap after every session and inter-splice it with whatever footage they show, trailers, tech, etc. and provide your two cents.It's not quite that kind of event. I think they will have some talks and I will try to go to the ones that seem interesting to me, in addition to the keynote and whatever big announcement event they may have. There may be a total of three sessions that are about games with one being the keynote and the other being the Quake 1v1 Finals. 90% of my time will be spent in the 3,500 large BYOC area.
There is also a vendor area that often has some cool stuff, so I'll try to get footage of that, too.
Chloe is eating all her meals >:)
but seriously, her model is ridiculous. Might be better than Drake's hair is ridiculous. All in game.

By s y Go To PostIdk how you can hate on mcdonalds….the amount of food they offer for such a low price is mind boggling."food"
how the fuck is this possible?! in only a year?! in game no filters. Area is huge, easily the biggest area ND has ever done since ps3.
Pacing is better than UC4's so far. Nice encounters. The encounters in UC4 was great with the much improved combat but they were not spread out well.

played a couple of hours of Observer.
Still early on obviously but it's utterly brilliant. I hope they don't fuck this up
unfortunately there isn't a respec option. What did you go for/what went wrong?

By EldritchTrapStar Go To PostFor as much as I like horror, I thought I would enjoy Bloodborne's story/premise a lot more. As it stands now, I think Dark Souls 2 was a bit more effective in drawing me into the world. This game could use some more exposition from npcs, instead of these cryptic 2 sentence elevator pitches they give to fill in the void. I doubt I'm anywhere near the midpoint, so maybe it gets better. I just got kidnapped by some fuckboi with a dirty burlap sack.you just got to the kidnapping part? You still haven't even scratched the SURFACE of the story yet ;)
Is there a respec option in the game?

Nothing yet. I've been rolling strength and it didn't occur to me that trick was probably the dex equivalent in this game. I normally roll with dex weapons for the katana (which I don't know if there is one). Ended up settling on the sword that turns into a great sword and the blunderbuss. Having a lot of fun with them.
The forbidden forest feels massive. Made it to the boss and got hit with a dhalsim arm and died. 😒

you can still go for a quality build btw, 40/40 in both. I quite enjoyed all the Dex weapons here, as its absolutely perfect for the pace of the combat.
you're not far from a massive narrative twist
By Ciaran Lannister Go To Postplayed a couple of hours of Observer.It's good but towards the end they definitely lean more heavily on the psychological horror stuff

I found their world far more interesting than the psychological stuff.

Madden Ultimate Team consumed me all of yesterday, goddamn. Game is good this year, and Longshot SP Story Mode actually supposed to be relatively nice.
Also, COD WW2 beta this weekend on PS4. I pretty much skipped Infinite Warfare MP. Infinity Ward is the C team. Sledgehammer is a clear step up. Looking forward to trying it after skipping a year.

do I just need to preorder to get in on it?
have about zero hype for the WW2 aesthetic but I miss CoD mindlessness
Praying for Infinite Warfare 2 being in development--loved loved loved that campaign and aesthetic
i'd love to play it right now, but classes doing too much to my freetime atm
Is my girl Nadine getting the shine she deserves?

By Dark PhaZe Go To Posti'd love to play it right now, but classes doing too much to my freetime atmYep. Im actually surprised at how involved her AI is. Was expecting her to be braindead but shes taking dudes out, spotting them for me. I was doing this one puzzle where I need to find these things to step on and she actually found the last two and completed it.

Yeah, preorder. At some point they're going to do open beta, but this weekend you need a code. The fact that they're doing it in August is a good thing. Means they have time to actually incorporate feedback before launch.
I'll pick up IW on the low for SP, but MP was trash.
By Phoenix RISING Go To PostAre y'all paying him to do all of this production?Hah, don't worry, I'm probably not going to go through that much effort. I'm probably just going to use my phone to take pictures and video of things I find interesting at the con and dub my comments over the video later. It will make me learn how to use some video editing software which is something I wanted to do, anyway.

Game Watch Japan has published a very interesting interview with Suzuki-san, the interview took place during Gamescom and includes some really insightful and interesting information about Shenmue III, here's some of it:
-The released Shenmue III teaser footage is real-time in-game graphics.
-All character models are temporary and subject to change.
-Facial animations were initially implemented but have been removed about a month ago.
-The teaser was especially made for Gamescom 2017, no further plans to show more of the game at this year's Gamescom or Tokyo Game Show. However, a full-scale promotion will take place next year.
-Deep Silver will publish the game internationally, and they'll provide budget and promotional support. A publisher for Japan is to be decided.
-Suzuki-san would like to continue the series in Shenmue IV if possible.
-Suzuki-san is not interested in forcing the Shenmue story to complete in Shenmue III.
-Shenmue III will take around 30 hours of gameplay to complete.
-The fighting engine in Shenmue III is being built from scratch, and unlike Shenmue II it won't use the Virtua engine.
-A system that allows phone calls with characters from Shenmue and Shenmue II is planned for Shenmue III.
-Suzuki-san would like to bring as many voice actors from the previous games as possible, but some are retired now, he will audition a new voice actress for Shenhua.
-OST from Shenmue and Shenmue II will probably be reused in Shenmue III.
-The new partnership with Deep Silver is strong and it's aimed to improve the Shenmue III experience beyond what was initially planned on the Kickstarter.
Additional Famitsu interview details:
- fishing, and you can sell the fish you catch
- wood-chopping
- forklifts confirmed!!
- other animals - frogs, ducks, tortoises
