"What's your callsign?"

"Star Wars™ Rogue One™, brought to you by Disney™ and Lucas Arts™!"


How did they get away with this?

When I get my new HDD and reinstall GTA, sure.

Assuming Xbox.

As for OP, nope. I have a card thing that gives my permission to scoop out my internal organs for donors if I die.

I plan on having my corpse fired into the sun if I ever die.

Which I won't.

That would take hundreds of years though because you'd have to go to the outer solar system to slow down then fall into the sun.

If you own it in Steam (the Legendary Edition anyway), apparently the Remaster will be a free upgrade.

Suck it bitches.

can they not upgrade me? i don't want all the mods to break and for skse to have to be updated so i can be downgraded from my better looking and running skyrim to this slightly updated console version

Separate launcher

I put it on preorder on amazon so I get price guarantee. Last I checked it was down to 28 quid. Considering I got the Legendary Edition for 15 three years ago (Never played until 2013), that means I'm paying less than full price for both editions combined.

I preordered new skyrim because I already have played a lot of skyrim and I know it's a game I enjoy. Of course, it doesn't extend to any other games I'm buying.
You are going to pay 28 bucks for what equates to a graphics upgrade.

Unless you gift or sell one of those copies to someone else, I really can't understand this decision.

My 360 barely works (The disc tray refuses to open unless I pry it open, it doesn't read games half the time and my controller has a bunch of unresponsive buttons) so playing it on there isn't really an option. If there was a BC port I'd just install that. If I had a PC that could run skyrim, I'd just buy all the DLC and gane super cheap and get it free.

Besides that I got enough time out of Skyrim before for super cheap so putting another 30 on it is worth it for me.

Gaming / Re: Why can't developers compress downloads?
« on: October 10, 2016, 11:14:07 AM »
The DVDs that X360/ PS3 games were printed on could only store about 6GB of data. Blu-Ray discs can store about 45GB. That, combined with the increased quality of textures, audio, and so forth mean games are a lot bigger. Factor in DLC and endless title updates and games are pretty big.

I can understand DLC that came after the games release or separate from the "Vanilla" disc itself need downloading, but with Blu-Ray holding 45GB why do I now have to download it to my current gen console too?

On '360 the only games that required a download-before-play were multiple discs, IIRC games that were at the end of the last gen's shelf life, (Dragon Age 2, GTA V) understandable if they needed 12GB of data to run at peak for old hardware.

Hell, looking at my Steam library I see Vanilla Fallout 4 comes up at 26GB with all the bells and whistles that the PC brings (Extreme graphics), while it's PS4 equivalent has a disc and a 40GB download for the game I presume is at lower settings. What in blue blazes are Sony formatting this shit in, Katakana?!

I buy physical copies because the best network infrastructure in my area is shite and unreliable, a mere upgrade from dial-up, so digital copies (and most PC games nowadays) are out of the question. I'm not sure if I should be focusing my frustrations towards the UK's shitty broadband and fibreoptic coverage, the push by the console gaming industry towards digital copies, lack of storage space and hardware limitations, or all of the above.

Part of it is a holdover from when the consoles were going towards DRM bullshit. The other part is to help loading. It means that even if the disc doesn't work fully, you can still play the game and load things in a somewhat reasonable time.

Like, my Halo Reach disc got a crack on the inside of it when my 360 was acting up so it wouldn't load any multiplayer maps. Installed it to the system and from then on out it worked fine.

Even towards the end of the 360's lifespan you'd see games doing installs. Destiny required a few GB of your hard drive to install shit, Halo 4 also required an install of something, Titanfall made you load in textures and whatnot manually each time you launched so the game would look halfway decent.

Blame it primarily on console developers being shit this generation and putting crap hardware and crap Operating Systems in the consoles.

The Flood / why is it so hard to find decent wallpapers
« on: October 10, 2016, 04:32:19 AM »
Seriously. I've been trying to search for nice skybox wallpapers from games that look really cool such as Mass Effect or Destiny but I don't understand how almost everything that comes up on a google search is either tiny resolution or has HUD on or has characters in the middle of everything

So yeah suggest me wallpapers to add to my folder.

examples of some of my favourites






There's more titanfall images because I found a download for a .zip file that has all of the achievement art, load screen art, menu art, and a bunch of concept art that looks nice. I would use the load screen/ achievement art from MCC but for some retarded reason they put black bars and logos on the top and bottom of otherwise cool images.

Gaming / Re: ITT: Videogame music that did NOT age well.
« on: October 09, 2016, 03:20:13 PM »
Can music age badly? Or is it just shitty from the beginning?

I think it can if it gets a bad connotation. Like Blow Me Away with shitty halo 3 montages in 120p using that generic Halo font.

I mean, the song isn't terrible by itself (Not to say it's brilliant, just alright, not shit) It just has a really bad connotation because of its' usage.

What type of Jewry is this? Games look 10 times better on PC and they aren't 75 gigabytes plus 45 of updates.

Even then, on PC people can swap out their hard drives to a bigger one. And from the information I have, you'd have to buy a new console for increased hard drive space which only adds a measly 500 gigabytes.

Can you at least use an external hard drive to store/run games from on the Xbox One?

Console developers have never been as good as PC ones.

To my knowledge the xbox is also the only console that allows you to use third party external hard drives for it. So you can grab a cheap 3tb seagate and use that if you want.

Aren't Seagate drives bad? I've heard they have a pretty high chance of failure.
