Overwatch = Disney Pixar TF3

Pretty good if you look from the gameplay though.


CS : GO rival inc?

Pls dude, it's a TF2 rival. Something like that game is never going to rival the hardcore fanbase of CS:GO.

I was thinking of getting a new tv since my current one is only 37 inches. I was trying to go with 60 inches or a 65 inch one, but then I was like maybe visual quality is a bit more important than size, I assume higher contrast ratio is better? I really only use a tv for games as well and my current can look bad for dark games ;(

Actually, a good rule of thumb is to consider the room size. I have a 42 inch LED in my living room and it's just fine. 65 inches would be doable if I hung it on a wall, but you also have to consider how much more expensive each inch gets as TVs get bigger.

Higher contrast ratio is always better, usually.

Re: The Games Hangout Thread -2014 Tokyo Game Show Version-

Probably yes, if you never played it before... For those that have it's common to get some old urge back with new expansions. I get it every time basically.

Lose me? I haven't stuck around with WoW for the past expansions for more than a month max, and that's not even very hardcore after the first week. Normally I play a lot to get max lvl and grind up some gear, then I quickly grow bored. In this one I doubt I will do much apart from that. I've lvled too many characters that just the thought makes me bored (in earlier zones). Just gonna play my Rogue in the new zones and explore and shit, then quit in max a month. I'll still be up for League games etc xD I hadn't even planned on playing it until a friend convinced me today.

Seems like something I could completely lose myself to. Scary shit.

It seems like they have insane queues to actually log in and play. Is that normal? Or is WoD way more popular than they thought?

Typical Blizzard. I haven't been here for the launch for any other expansion really. Burning Crusade (the first expansion) wasn't that bad IIRC. I don't recall having that big troubles. I played all night on launch so... The classic WoW launch was however INSANELY troublesome. Could barely play for days, but they seemed to learn after their first launch. Wasn't there for the others, but this one has been insanely bad. Huge amounts of disconnects both while in queue and in-game, and insane queues to get back in. Just unplayable basically, which is hilarious with Blizzard's infractructure and experience with releases.

Diablo was also a disaster, and with the expansion it was way better but still pretty bad. People super cheated there though because it required Internet when you were playing single player... In that case WoW is way different. The expansion was nowhere near as bad as the launch for the main game though. The main game was unplayable for days and had huge rage.

Looking at the forums it's almost ONLY QQ threads. It's rather understandable.

So much interest from you, haha

I am tempted to buy Dengeki Fighting Climax... just because I like FGs and for the lulz but unfortunately I don't have PS3 which means I could not use my fightstick

I want it, my DRRR, Mahouka, Accel World, SAO, and Index love (Touma is playable right, hes my favorite).

Ended up going for a 60 inch sharp aquos q+ tv which should be here friday, and got like some 50+ inch sound bar and subwoofer to go with it, which should be good in my room thats about 11 or 12 feet.

Will try to resist playing Dragon Age Inquisition until the tv arrives and I can say goodbye to my current 37inch tv.

I do, but playing fighting games without using arcade stick feels weird to me after I'm getting used to it By the way Touma is a support character, so he isn't exactly playable, but you can use him as secondary.

I was trying to pre-order Inquisition, but knowing that several recent releases for PC have been huge messes, I'd rather wait for the review.

Just FYI there are lots of reviews out for Dragon Age Inquisition already. They vary a little but there seems to be general agreement that it's really good.

It's gotten a lot of praise for it's size, depth, and character quality. The main point of criticism is the main villain and central story arc but most seem to agree that everything around it props it up well enough to make that not a big deal.

Ah yes, I saw those reviews as well. I'm afraid it's like Lords of the Fallen again though, the game receive decent reviews, but the game turned out to be buggy as hell. Hopefully that's not the case with Inquisition.

Oh, I'm sure it will be buggy. I was replaying the two previous dragon age games and it's kind of amazing the level of buggyess left in the PC version of both games. Whole dialogue trees in origins are still broken and I'm pretty sure there are still memory leaks, even all these years later.

Well no playable husbando makes me less excitined. Kamijou . I hope it comes west though, I like the franchises though.

Most of the playable characters are female, unfortunately. The only playable guy IIRC is the main character from DRRR, but I forget his name. If it is selling pretty well, I'm quite optimistic that localization would happen. I'm waiting for GG Xrd as well, since I missed P4AU

Darn a bigger tv only flaw is visual oddities become easier to see, murky ugly textures are enlarged on the screen and then like slight shimmering of some overlapping colors seems possible at least in my time of playing dragon age on the 60inch.

Anyway I hope black friday has some good deas, I really want FFX vita on sale (less than 29.99 please) and maybe Tomb Raider PS4.

That usually only happens when you're too close to the TV

PS Noob here, do I really need to buy Playstation Plus subscription to be able to play online?

For ps4, yes. For ps3, no.
