That's 23 gigs of uncompressed video and about 2 gigs of game. Ed: My bad. The movie folder is 24.5 gigs. Lance Streetman fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Sep 7, 2014 |

Still loving the hell out of Blacklist but wow, 10 crashes in an hour of gameplay is not good Ubisoft! Fortunately checkpoints are frequent. Definitely won't be replaying the game because of this though.

And now I remember why I hate getting any games outside of the Steam UI. gently caress you Win7, and your ridiculous insistence on installing games to a "games" folder that, yes, I can find, but it only contains shortcuts to the games and not the actual folder the assets and .exe's are stored in, or tell me where the .exe is. How the gently caress am I supposed to mod these old DnD games back into widescreen playability if I can't find the folders in the first loving place!? [/rantover] Okay, okay, found it. It was in a folder named DnDMC, inside another folder named Atari, inside the old ProgramFiles(x86) folder. Now to move all that poo poo out so I can actually work with it somewhere that won't treat the files as loving read-only. No, I didn't handle the conversion from XP to 7 well, why do you ask?

Rright click the shortcut, click properties, it should tell you where the folder of the exe it links to, copy and paste.

Not a real windows explorer window, it's an internal service that just grabs whatever it reads in your system as a game and pops a shortcut in. It's also connected to the wild-tangent game service. loving thing came with the PC, and the right-click menu on those icons is worthless. No properties option.

Although googling around it looks like the game has some strange bug where it crashes on a specific schedule every 20 to 50 minutes? That's some weird poo poo.

Hit the start button, your cursor will be automatically in the search textbox, type something that will help you find the .exe, it will appear as you type up above (whatever matches). If you find a match, right click it in the list and select "open file location" if the option exists, if not choose properties and it will list it in there.

Tried setting it to DX9 instead of 11, changed a recommended setting in the .ini file, etc. Last night I went 2 hours straight with no problems. Tonight it was every 5 minutes. Restarted the computer after 6 crashes or so and then it went away for a bit. I just disabled the 5 bombs. I imagine I am getting to the end soon, as things just ramped up a bit. I'll survive the crashing.

Nearly finished main campaign of Arkham Origins. It's hard to believe that they finally found a decent replacement for Kevin Conroy as Batman and it ends up being the dude who voices Sonic the Hedgehog and Thomas the intern from Regular Show

If you want an example of a good replacement, look to Harley Quinn or the Penguin. Not in Origins, though (to my knowledge, haven't played it).

So could someone explain the Steam region locking on this game to me, because I want to buy cheap copies next time it's on sale and spread the love but I'm unsure who I could actually gift UK copies to.

The Joker replacement was okay too although he probably could have put a different spin on the voice than just imitating Mark Hamill. Not that it'll matter for Arkham Knight, cause.. well.. you know Look at you, thinking they won't figure out a way to wedge Joker into Arkham Knight. Oughta use it as an excuse to get Troy Baker back. I could listen to him sing alternate versions of old country songs as the Joker for a long time.

I'm going to dissent a bit and say dodging is probably more important than parry in MGR. Dodge allows to attack at the same time, has invincibility frames, and allows you to continue your combo. A lot of bosses become ridiculously easy if you learn how to dodge well. Sundowner in particular is a joke, as his explosive shield can be triggered with the dodge attack, and the damage completely ignored thanks to the invincibility frames. You can get a several hundred hit combo on him if you wish.

I would agree except that not only does parrying pretty much always do the job on normal -> very hard, but on revengence mode perfect parry is the entire gimmick the difficulty revolves around.

Reveangance mode is pretty much a gimmick difficulty, anyway  In these types of games, dodge is almost always mechanically superior to blocking. Same for Ninja Gaiden, same for Bayonneta... i think the only exception is in Devil May Cry where Royal Guard beats the poo poo out of everything else easily if you learn how to block properly.

I would argue that it's contextual and that both have value in the right situation. Learning to play the game well revolves around knowing when to use either one to best advantage.

Ddraig posted:Reveangance mode is pretty much a gimmick difficulty, anyway No arguments there. But even on very hard perfect parry felt like it did a lot of damage whereas dodge's felt pretty insignificant. There were a few times where I used dodge religiously for iframe abuse but I felt like the vast majority of the time just face-tanking and slamming them with high damage perfect parries into a combo was overall more effective and less work for no real necessary mechanical advantage required by the game (unlike say, ninja gaiden).

Dodge is also cool because of a little known quirk but you can actually still parry during an dodge move, meaning you can essentially both parry and dodge at the same time, meaning if either fails, the other will pick up the slack. This is also great in Revengeance mode as you can parry during the first few invincibility frames, and as you can essentially cancel out of anything with the dodge move it's very, very powerful. What annoys me is how people very rarely, if ever, use the dodge move unless there's that telegraphed yellow glow around the enemy they're fighting. e: Sorry if I sound a bit spergy, but I love games like Revengeance. I love these types of third person precision based games from Japan like God Hand, Bayonetta and Ninja Gaiden... for the most of the time you can actually coast through the game very easily using just parry, as it's kind of a very safe defense. I just love that there's the option to be more badass if you wish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99vyCca5RRQ This is the kind of thing I'm on about.

I think this is mostly because the input is slightly awkward - it's not difficult by any means but compared to the (all different!) dodge inputs for Devil May Cry, God of War, and Bayonetta, it is definitely less natural. Also you don't start with it

Just getting an awesome assault rifle with a silencer (honey badger) makes it easy to get silent kills. Even on heavily armored guys. I always went with death from above with shields. Unless you are talking about leaving all the enemies untouched. I have never bothered with that.

I suppose I should play through at least part of the story before I go on with that other stuff? Her missions made it sound relevant to the story, though. You do get more money if you leave enemies untouched, don't you? A LOT of money. I made like 200k when I ghosted and avoided everyone that first Grim mission at the island fortress.
