Bought a way out for xbone a couple days ago. Decent storyline and for $30 having the ability to play the entire game with a friend who doesn’t own the game is a huge deal imo. Hope to see more games follow suit.

... This is pretty accurate. Except in my case, they always get hit by cars.

Also, WAY too many dogs being hit by cars. Far Cry 5 is going to give me a complex.

Yessir xbox and mobile.

When we play we usually get on in the evening. Have a group of 3, occasionally 4. If you’re around join up, could always use a 4th. Just don’t steal all my ammo

Someday, GPU prices will fall. Maybe

Someday, GPU prices will fall. Maybe

Some 10-series starting to show up at MSRP on Newegg and NVidia's site. They sell out fast, but it's happening.

.... 11-series starting to get some traction, though... which should make the 10's easier to find. Just be careful not to get a used, half-dead from a miner.

 

[T.Lex]

With the mining angle, will GPU prices ever really come down?

Just seems like that application drove demand way up, with a relatively static amount of supply.

Game Maker's Toolkit takes a look at how game designers keep players engaged. Focusing on engagement... and not psychological tricks to keep players addicted.

[ArcadiaGP]

They cite the use of rubber chickens and frying pans as weapons?

Ahhhh, no... sorry PUBG. Team Fortress 2 used a frying pan before you... and Super Mario RPG before that... and Earthbound before that...

It's been done, you're not breaking new ground.

PUBG creators finally decide a copycat game has gone too far, file suit
