Destiny is of course going to be "1.5" since it's an FPS MMORPG...nothing can really be changed.  The gunplay is basically perfect.  The only thing they have to change/add is content, which they will do (look at Taken King).  There is no way to base a full game on 1PVE Strike, 1 PVE Story Mission, 1 PVP Map

That guys video was probably the biggest waste of 13min of my life in the past couple of months..

All I got was "look at me, begging for attention and patreon support"

That's saying something as you've leveled at least one horse in Black Desert Online in the last month.

No opinion on Destiny 2 as I never played the original. I'm hoping it really does have a vastly improved story like they claim but no beta is going to answer that.
 
So a while back I mentioned that my GPU fried and I had to RMA it. Well, my move compounded that and I had to wait and it finally finished today with the arrival of my replacement GPU. A few days ago I got an email from MSI stating that they did not have any 970s to replace it with and they offered a 1070 which I of course, readily accepted. I expected a refurb and they sent a brand new 1070. So, if you are looking to upgrade and have an MSI card, wish for a fry lol.

Well, that worked-out all kinds of awesome!! :)

Can't wait to hear how your new beastly card is kicking all kinds of ass, in terms of high-graphics settings + performance.

Probably enough overlap to post this for anyone interested in the upcoming movie.

I read the book a year or so ago.

I picked up the audio book yesterday since I was trying to burn off my remaining Audible credits and cancel my membership. People were buzzing about the movie which led to people saying that the book was good so, hey, why not.

First I need to finish Metro 2035. Curious to see if it fits in with the upcoming game; 2033 was pretty much an abridged version of the novel but Last Light had nothing at all to do with 2034 (probably why it's called Last Light and not 2034, eh?). But 2035 has Artyom following a lead that there may be survivors up top which seems to fit with the Exodus trailer.

the question is will your cps (curses per second) increase as well?

Are the quake games even worth picking up never played any of them and even quake iv looks dated.

Are you freakin' kiddin' me??!?!?

YES!!! Especially at THIS price.

Anyways, Quake is the perfect example of old-school gameplay in a FPS. Most levels are labryrinths you have to find your way around + usually a certain weapon is extremely effective against a certain enemy.

Seriously, the campaigns for Quake 1 base-game (despite the "meh" ending) + especially Quake 2 base-game are outstanding.

If you're worried about graphics quality + features, keep in mind these games have been Open Source for years + that these games are legendary - so you'll easily find plenty of mods for them. Go grab a Modern Source Port + maybe some Texture Packs. For Source Ports, QuakeSpasm for Quake 1 & KMQuake for Quake 2 should be fine.

Quake 4's Campaign from Raven Software was pretty good + it probably could be argued it was a better-paced overall game than Doom 3 base-game's Campaign. I'm sorry, Doom 3 (base-game) w/ its Campaign got kind of boring in the middle, despite the 1st 1/3rd & last 1/3rd of it were insanely good.

I'm thinking about picking this Quake Collection up just to put all this great Quake stuff on Steam + to get Dissolution of Eternity - in which I'm still trying to figure out how + why the hell I missed Dissolution from retail back in the day.

100% agree. I mean really? People reviewing a very limited Beta (from an old build) in substitution for a finished product need to get the fuck out. Clickbait analysis from YouTubers to generate views is nothing new, but it seems like a whole lot of people think reviewing a beta is the hype train to jump on right now. It's not like credibility and integrity are important or anything when spreading news today. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't really care what they call it (Desiny 1.5, Destiny 2, Destiny 1.1.0.9495, Des2ny, etc...). I just want more of the same gameplay, but with more substance, activities, story, and on PC. It sounds like they appear to be checking all those off this Fall.

Cool I have heard hype over the games in the past and still do enjoy older games like turok, 007 golden eye and what not so I can handle graphics that aren't 2017 aaa I will take your guys suggestion and pick the collection up for the low cost
 
Foxhack said:
Um, yes?

III Arena / Team Arena are multiplayer only though.

Well...you can play those in Offline Single Player Mode, but you'll just be fighting bots skirmish-style.

Decent for practice, but not ideal.

Q3A+TA is best played online MP-style.

Sheesh. Calm down. The collection was like 45c more expensive during the Steam Sale and you could use Gaben bucks.

I still have dreams about being healed by EroticJesus. That was just about the only bronight I've attended in 6 months so I'm pretty sure it was god's hand at work.

Did you check the one in Weymouth? Last time I was there, they had three copies left for $6.14 each

Meh, I'm not going all the way to Weymouth just for that.

You could go nab me a copy of QB from Weymouth for $6.14; PM me the key; and I'll maybe pay you the $7 or so via Paypal. ;)

But, right now - don't worry about it, since it doesn't look like it's $6.14 in Weymouth (02188) anyways; looks like it's $40.

Bah gets mysteriously zen during Paddleboard Underwear. Probably because he's not getting killed by guys named MunkyKumBang999 every forty seconds.

But the guy who killed Fox after he avenged Bah (but not me since Bah was the person who actually killed me) was named "ipooponkids", so by transitivity...

Well that's weird + strange. I guess brick + seek must be messed + up.

 
Haha, did someone here name their character in PUBG 'EroticJesus'!?   :pray:
 
Goddammit Syntax, I keep calling it Peanut-butter Underwear in my head when reading the abbreviation now.

Re: Destiny 2.  From the reviews of the beta that I watched/read, most praised the PVP part while not liking the PVE.  It sounded like the PVE needed some balancing.  I thought I heard that they were extended the Beta.
