@naltmank in Royal, yeah... you need to have a condition met to even unlock the last 1/3 of the game... and certain other conditions met in order to get the "true" (I guess best) ending.

It's a pretty short list, but it's in-game time sensitive, so if you really want to be sure to hit it, it's spoiler tagged below:

Reach Councillor Arcana (Doctor Maruki) Rank 9 before 18th November to unlock 3rd semester

Reach Faith Arcana (Kasumi Yoshizawa) Rank 5 before 18th December
Reach Justice Arcana (Goro Akechi) Rank 8 before 24th November
Refuse all offers presented by the big bad boss

@naltmank I mean, it sort of changes the tone of the third act for me depending on how you read it. Like, is it a tragedy or a revenge? That, in context may be nitpicky. Or it could be both. I just thought that two people watching the movie had such clearly opposing assumptions of what the catalyst for the finale was.

@naltmank Well yeah,

she might still be alive.

@naltmank It's one of my favorites of recent years. A friend and i went to see it, and argued pretty vehemently afterwards in the parking lot of the theater about whether "he did it" or not. lol

Just an update:

Draft is Saturday, Jan 2nd at 8pm PST (make sure to calculate the time difference for where you live)

@Sazime @Inustar @HappyGaming still need to make new publisher names for 2021. Don't get cut this year! If you're not update in the next like 20 hours, you might not get to play this year.

I think we can essentially have an unlimited number of people. If we get too many more, we may want to adjust the number of games we are all picking... but adding people shouldn't be an issue.

@dipset said in PC GAMING GEAR THREAD:

is there an actual in-game factor with an SSD that reads 7000 MB/s versus 3500 MB/s?

Short answer is... not reaaaally

Nobody really programs their games to take advantage of higher data transfer speed. (right now, anyways). Where you might notice differences is in stuff like installing games, or transferring files between drives. Then again, sometimes the storage hardware isn't even running at capacity due to other hardware, bandwidth, or software bottlenecks - so you might not even notice THAT.

I will say that my Gen4 NVMe drive seems pretty fast, but the only other PC I've got is still running off a SATA SSD boot drive and uses 15 TB of regular HDD's for bulk storage.

@happygaming Kiwami 2 is such a treat. Might be the 2nd best in the franchise. I waffle between that and 6

@paulmci27 said in Confess Your Sins:

Can you ever forgive me?( I feel like Tokyo Slim won't)

I mean... there's nothing to forgive. It's ok to just "not like" games everybody else likes. I don't like FromSoft games, and everybody else seems to love those. I also haven't even really started BOTW yet.

I just feel like Yakuza 0 is a really good game. :)

That's probably the right call. Nuts though, knowing how reluctant Sony is to offer refunds.

I'm still doing pretty good. Had a crash yesterday, but it was immediately following a quicksave, so nothing lost. Still not really focusing on main story yet, though I've made progress past the "heist". Paid off Viktor, and fully upgraded my optics to an Epic Kiroshi Mk.3.

@capnbobamous That one wasn't so much "impressive" as it was "nice variety". I actually haven't done that kind of thing in a lot of games (esp like this one)

Edited to remove potential spoilers:

There was one I did where I had to go convince person to quit their job and leave Night City. I assume that it could have gone poorly and I might have had to kill her or something. But it did not. It was a simple thing, but I liked having a side quest to basically go convince somebody of something that I was otherwise uninvolved in.

But I haven't even really started doing the main quest yet. I'm just trying to get a handle on combat by punking gang members in alleyways

I recently rewatched Crazy Rich Asians and still find it just as delightful as the first time.

lol meltdown. You really do love gaslighting people, don't you?
