Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

I've got an even more likely forensic analysis. Our oldest is called Alexander. When his younger sister began to talk she could only manage Zander, and to this day that's his name in our family. A fair chance a combination of a younger brother and Australian born parents did the same job there.

When our son, named Jimmy (Dimitri) after my dad, used to get called "JiJi" by his learning-to-talk younger sister, we used that nickname on him to. It stayed as an in-house moniker at least while he was a preschooler.

Best movie of all time!

The soundtrack isn't bad either. Scorcese pays a lot of attention to film scores.

Didn't touch my PS3 for years until about 3 months ago and decided I'd work through a number of titles (many of which I'd already bought) to catch up on things before buying a PS4. Current progress:

Completed

Uncharted 2
Red Dead Redemption
Deus Ex HR

Playing

Fallout 3

In the Hopper

GTA IV
CoD: MW2
Mass Effect 2
Heavy Rain
FF XIII
Elder Scrolls - Skyrim
Portal 2
Batman - Arkham City
The Walking Dead
Journey
Far Cry 3
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
The Last of Us
GTA V
Bioshock Infinite

plus I few others I have which I'll probably skip (Far Cry 2, Fallout NV, Driver - SF, Madden 12, WRC 2) so I can move on to next gen.

Based on the above I'm expecting to buy a PS4 when the PS5 is released.

I've been playing the Battlefront Beta. It's more polished than I expected after playing the last couple of Battlefields. It's reasonably fun but one of the beta maps is dull as ****. Also match making is ****ing terrible.

 

[LukeSA]

Damn, they moved the new Hitman game to next February, i suppose Square Enix didn't want it to clash with Just Cause 3.

 

[SilenceOz]

CPU requirement seems beefy, but I'm happy with it being 30GB. I thought It might be more than that.

30GB isnt bad, Skyrim with all DLC is 13GB.

Unpopular opinion: Far Cry 2 > 3 and 4.

But yeah, if you're in a hurry skip it.

This is Bethesda we are talking about, their games run like one legged, chain smoking asthmatics.

My Skyrim folder is closer to 20 gig now

File size isn't related to that though.
Skyrim had similar concerns releasing with only 6GB required HDD space.

I'd say Bethesda are just pretty good at not wasting file size

Interesting, still Skyrim with everything installed is less than FO4 on launch.

 

[Jonts]

Fallout nv > 3 without any expansions

I like NV, but prefer 3's story lines.

Fuuuu all

Elder scrolls > fallout

I have spent more time playing TES than Fallout, but there is a new Fallout game coming out, so...Fallout getting more love at the present

That is true, but their games aren't very well optimised though.

Its bullsh... about teso....

Now there wont be a new elder scrolls for a while.....

64 bit will be a lot better than the 32 bit 'ported for console' optimisation of the past though

Next year is the rumour

Yeah, but majority of PC games these days are ported from consoles, take Arkham Knight of earlier this year, it was that buggy and poorly optimised that they pulled off steam and 6 months later is yet to re-emerge, yet ironically a game (MGSV: TPP) from a team with little to no PC experience released one of the most well optimised games i have played.

The PS4 and Xbone have essentially the same architecture as PC's so really there should be any excuses for a game that runs shitty on PC.

It's all about how much effort they put into it.

 

[BIG MATTY WHITE]

Ok.but it seems to me you have an attitude to every thread thats going, and you think youre King Dick. Youre actually not, so cool youre heels off and listen to some of the wiser heads around here. I know i do, there is some gun posters on this board and youre not one of them at the moment. And i'm sober.

And piston goes bang from 50

 

[BIG MATTY WHITE]

Best console is snes with no doubt...


And pc gaming sucks...

The Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, yeah we know about the glitches and crashes, but I wouldn't swap the 'effort' they put into these games for anything. The lore of the worlds and the fact that every place has a wealth of story, Skyrims books for example, and the content that goes into them. Some things are a bit rushed I admit, but on the whole both series seem more a labour of love than a mediocre money grabbing effort which seems the norm these days

Maybe it was a Nissan ZD30 hand grenade engine.
