    It's a win/loss for them. They put their eggs in the processor basket and completely destroyed Intel (well as much as a small company can destroy a monolith). Honestly it's probably the right call -- they're going to sell 100x more processors than they will GPUs.
    Yeah, they weren't competing well with Nvidia even when their gpus were better in the HD 4000, HD 7000, and R9 200 series. And now Nvidia has just smoked them ever since Maxwell. Ryzen has put some serious fear into Intel though, as in Coffee Lake's upcoming desktop line the current quadcore i5 are being moved to the i3 line, the i5 is going to six cores, and the consumer grade i7 is going to six cores with hyperthreading.

    Wow Bloodborne is $8 right now. I'd pay $120 for that game if what's it cost. Honestly, it's worth buying a PS4 just for this game.

    Man this is a pretty strong sale this weekend at the Playstation Store.

    https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-...-FLASHSALE17LP

    Get in here Reck. Don't know who else plays PS4 to tag other than ElNono, but he seems to get all his for free since he develops for the PS4.

    Damn, the PS4 les available are dog .

    I may be interested in Dreamfall Chapters though. That was an episodic game I was looking forward to for years but grew tired of it getting delayed year after year.

    For 14 bucks, I think I can grab it. Thanks for letting me know, bro.

    Most of them are indie games. Not that into them.

    Sony made sure I got sick of them when they spent like 2 years releasing them for free for PS+ subscribers. Most of them weren't very good.

    The few full retail ones are already available on PS Now.

    I did just buy Dreamfall Chapters.

    Dude Bloodborne, Shadow of Mordor, XCom 2, the Borderlands series, Dragons Crown, the Tales of series, there is some pretty good non-indie in this sale too.

    Bloodborne is the only game I haven't played.

    That game looks amazing and I have thought about trying it but it intimidates me. I keep away from games like Dark Souls.

    , I like a real challenge but from what I hear those games are beyond ridiculous.

    The difficulty of the Souls games is very overhyped. They're nowhere near as hard as say the Mega Man games from NES for example. The one really hard thing in Bloodborne is the very beginning, when you're thrown into Central Yharnam without knowing what to do. So early on I was just killing enemies and running back to buy armor and with their blood echoes, which was a waste because armor doesn't really matter in the game. Just wear whatever looks best to you. But I couldn't level up, and the first couple of hours I played were really frustrating because of that. So I went online and found out you have to gain one point of insight to be able to level up. You can get a point of insight by finding a Madman's Knowledge in the first level (I think there are three of them in the level) but the easiest way is to make it towards the boss. He'll kill you pretty quickly most likely, but you get a point of insight from dying to him and then you're allowed to start leveling up. That's when the game starts becoming reasonable. So if I would have just ran to that first boss I wouldn't have wasted those first couple of hours of gameplay.

    After that Bloodborne is still hard enough that you'll get killed every time you let multiple enemies attack at once and you have to take every single fight seriously, but it's not cheap. You die because you did something stupid, not because say your jump was two pixels too short like in the old NES games where the difficulty came a lot from cheapness.

    Now I remember why I didn't finish Gears 1: without much of a storyline it really overstays its welcome. It's great in small doses but gets so repe ive when you play your way through it for a while.
    Gears is meant to be played coop with friends. I see it as almost a successor to games like Contra. Weak on storyline, but fun gameplay as long as you are working with somebody.

    The cooperative mode is a casualty of games becoming bigger and more complex, but I miss playing games like that via LAN with friends.

    I have been playing the first NieR the last few days. The lead character has to be the ugliest mother er I have ever seen in a game.



    It's too bad this game never caught on, it would be awesome to see es doing Kaine in cosplay.

    MegaMan is stupid hard, though. As in you can win just based on finding the one pattern that works. It's a platformer with bullet properties.

    The reason dark souls is hailed as being *so* difficult is how they built in the learning curve with the difficulty. Bosses force you to try new tactics and really gauge distances. There's not a lot of active learning in MegaMan games - it's just trial and error until you find out "oh hey Woodman does in 3 hits to metalman's weapon."

    Dark souls is an experience that's much more about learning the nuances of combat, especially if you don't use a guide on every boss to win.

    I AM thinking about getting Nioh though. That game has a nice balance.

    Nioh is alright, but it's not in the class of Bloodborne or Dark Souls 1. It's not even as good as Demon's Souls IMO. I wasn't that into the story either. Some Scottish guy becomes the top samurai in Japan?

    Man you really gotta get Bloodborne plus its DLC if you like Dark Souls boss fights. This one boss (initials are OOK for anyone who has played Bloodborne) is way harder to come up with a winning strategy against than say Ornstein & Smough if you have played DS1.

    Don't have a PS4 and no plan to get one.
