I wouldn't play dragon's dogma on an old console. If that's all you have I understand, but boy is that game a terrible representation of those ideas on the last generation of consoles.

Nier's my pick. You said you liked Automata and wanted to see Yoko Taro's stuff. It may not be as much of a mind fuck after understanding who Yoko Taro is but hey, it'll still work. The music is fucking fantastic, I enjoyed the acting/characters and I generally liked seeing the world and story. The graphics are subpar, the combat is mediocre and it's kind of a slog though.

@gundato: I’m not saying it’s good or to want that, I’m saying if the job turns into that randomly because you went from a regular game dev/software engineer studio into one of the hottest game devs on the planet, getting the fuck out with a huge payday is a better case scenario than either what is probably actually happening or quitting when it originally got bad with no great bonuses and starting the job hunt over.

Now if they’re getting bonuses, pay raises and tons of over time pay? Hey, it’s not good, but with enough incentive you might want to burn yourself out after 6-12 months and make a fat stack of cash. Since enough perks to do that probably isn’t happening all at once, once again it doesn’t seem worth it to kill yourself so some rich people can become more rich

I haven't done it much, but I just quit out of big picture mode and go straight to my desktop and stream from there. When I didn't have a pc in that room I would play giantbomb videos, I've also played FFXIV over it. I didn't mess with trying to add non steam games(my ffxiv is not a steam copy), but that seemed fine.

"Isn't for you" isn't the same as "literally can't watch the movie". In my mind it is not -only- an accessibility thing, but no one is asking for games to CATER, they're asking for the equivalent of subtitles in a movie because some are a little hard of hearing or might be watching it while kids are sleeping.

Asking for difficulty options is the stupidest thing in gaming? Not lay offs, or death threats, or gamer gate or swatting? Difficulty options? Really? Settle down.

GOG: Only own Witcher 3 here. Beat the game, haven't played dlc yet.

Twitch: Only the free monthly games. Beat steamworld dig 2, play 3/4 of shadow tactics.

Epic: Only been getting the free games. Have yet to play one. Have had most of them elsewhere but so far there have been a couple I was glad to get and didn't already own.

Battle.net: Played wow for a bit in cataclysm/mists, probably never again. Played diablo III several times over the years. Tried hearthstone. For a time did lots of overwatch. Couple dozen matches of HotS.

Origin: Played PvZ: Garden Warfare baby. Got Inquisition on it, used some mass effect codes on it but originally played 1/2 on 360. Couple more random games on there and Anthem recently.

Uplay: Random older stuff, couple prince of persia titles, child of light, assortment of AC titles, Odyssey from project stream and Division 2 from my CPU purchase, for honor, couple far cries blah blah.

Windows Store???: Recore. That's it.

(Tons of single MMO stlye game launchers)

And steam: Nearly 800 titles in my library, not counting keys I didn't even want or gave away for games I really didn't care about from bundles and purchases everywhere over the years. Vast majority of my pc library obviously.

No bethesda launcher; that's a thing right?

I go to where the games are I want to play. That's it.

4gigs of ram? That's tiny and could absolutely be the source. Without anything else to go on, and not being a computer specialist to diagnose this stuff (I play/build/tinker with pc parts and software), you're probably having to stream lots of data off your HDD and have constant stuff moving in and out of ram because 8 gigs isn't that high, 4 gigs is miniscule. Turn every extra program and process off that is running and you don't need.

IT'S FUCKING MAGIC IS WHAT IT IS, DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? Let me leave this on a USB stick for some lucky individual to find.

@hayt: The almost never gain you will personally feel playing games is the reason I avoided, because the price difference wasn't crazy it also amounted to basically never a change to loading up games and installing stuff.

Dark blue is NVME, light blue is sata, orange are HDDs. All of the absolute fastest in the first test are intel optane memory and very expensive per gb(and small). Basically all of the other models come within 1-2 seconds of all the sata ssds they tested, and some weren't even better at all. One site testing on one game(benchmark really) isn't the end all be all, but when I was picking out parts I saw similar tests, which is why I skipped. I'd rather save the money or spend the same amount on a bigger size regular ssd drive.
