  1. Whenever I trigger a custom DLG file in K2 Steam version it skips through all the lines? Anyone know why? I have "node unskippable" checked for all the lines and this doesn't happen when I use the disc version of the game...

      Alrighty, I’ll give this a go tonight when I’m home.

      Converting them to mp3 did the trick, you learn something new everyday. Thanks guys!

    4. DarthTyren

      DarthTyren

      Yeah, it's a bit of a pain to have to keep up with three files per line of dialogue, but the steam version doesn't read wav files, hence (likely) why Aspyr converted all the game sounds to MP3.

      @DarthParametric, it's currently in a box with all of my other blurays. However it (and my unopened copy of TLJ) are the only ones wondering why they aren't being watched. Ever.

    3. DarthVarkor

      DarthVarkor

      Yeah, I heard there was a lot of studio interference on it. I might give it a go because of Fincher, though.

      @DarthVarkor, the story behind the making of that movie is better than the movie. As I couldn't find a link to the excellent documentary "Wreckage and Rage", this will have to do.

      Hopefully that explains why no one has downloaded it yet, as opposed to out right hating it, haha. 

  2. I can't get FRAPS to show or record in TSL (Steam) on Win10. Managed to fix the issue for K1 by running the game straight from its .exe using Win7 compatibility mode but no luck with TSL. Anyone know why?

      So, Shadow Play actually works quite nicely, same quality as FRAPS as far as I can tell, and file size appears to be a bit smaller. Hopefully FRAPS will still actually get back to me (I brought the software from them, didn't torrent it.) But regardless, Shadow Play does the trick. Thanks for your suggestions guys!

    3. Xuul

      Xuul

      As long as you bump up the resolution on Shadowplay to the top quality for recording you will usually end up with better quality that Fraps. are you running the steam version and at what resolution?

    4. DarthVarkor

      DarthVarkor

      Yeah Steam version at 1920x1080. I have ShadowPlay's settings to match it and I can't tell any difference so far. 

  3. Well. that's a replay of the Mass Effect Trilogy done. That ending still leaves a bad taste in the mouth...

      You ever try the fan mod Mass Effect Happy Ending Mod or MEHEM for short?

      Oh yeah, I used expanded galaxy in this playthrough, it added quite a bit to the experience, as did Priority: Earth overhaul. That one really surprised me, they fixed a lot of bugs and added cut content, added new music to the combat encounters and other small details that made the level feel a lot more potent. Even gave Harbinger some lines, which was nice!

      Quote

      There was another mod that made it so Citadel DLC was basically an epilogue, no references to the war or anything like that. It made for an enjoyable "after the credits" kind of experienc

      I used that in combination with the original MEHEM once and it was quite a nice combination. I honestly don't know why I decided to use the vanilla extended cut ending this time. But, at least I still got to enjoy the Citadel DLC. Definitely the best part of ME3 and gave us this brilliant track:

      Malkior

      @JenkoThere is even a mod that removes the "Starchild" from the nightmare cutscenes and replaces it with things a character who had seen things like Shepard would actually care about like: The scene from Virmire from the first game, the horror of the Reapers, what a post Reaper Earth would look like, and the disturbing scenes from the Prothean vision. nexusmods.com/masseffect3/mods/534

      Lol I thought they were started the development from about 2009-2010 because the first time I saw the trailer was about 2013- and I have been waiting for the updates ever since. This game.

    3. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

      Yeah they kind of shot themselves in the foot with that CG announcement trailer. They were in very early pre-production during TW3's development, but then in the last 6-12 months of that game's development they went into heavy crunch and everyone got pulled off Cyberpunk pre-production to help get TW3 shipped. I can't remember the specifics, but I gather it was after that where they scrapped what they had and started again, around mid-2015.

    4. DarthVarkor

      DarthVarkor

      That's what I heard too, yeah. I was hoping all the cutscenes would be fully cinematic but it looks like we're going to get a mixture of first person and third for them, similar to Deus Ex: Human Revolution & Mankind Divided. I hope we get a lot more dialogue options in the game than shown in the demo. Honestly wouldn't surprise me if CDPR deliberately watered it down for the demo, they like to be secretive.

      Hopefully it'll be worth the wait (and hype).

  5. My most ambitious trailer to date! The theatrical trailer for TPK is here:

      I also have no idea how you got those spaceships to appear as clean as you did. The fleets in the trailer look fantastic!

      Needs more Trandoshans. And cow bell.

      Just kidding. It's very good.

    4. DarthVarkor

      DarthVarkor

      Thanks everyone! The spaceships are from an Old Republic mod for Empire at War... would go into more details on what they are exactly, but... spoilers ;) 

  6. I really hope this isn't true. Jeremy Soule's music IS The Elder Scrolls imo.

      Mellowtron11

      Why would Bethesda not want to have his music? He's scored the last 3 elder scrolls games. Granted, the game is still a long ways out, but why wouldn't they bring him back? Is Bethesda trying to make people angry now?

    3. DarthVarkor

      DarthVarkor

      I know, I can’t understand it either. Like KOTOR’s soundtrack, Jeremy Soule’s scores for TES III-V are so beautiful and mesmerising. Even listening to them now brings back a lot of nostalgia, and that says something about his work itself!

    4. Mellowtron11

      Mellowtron11

      The nostaliga factor is a BIG reason on why not having Soule come back would be a mistake.

  7. Seeing a lot of people on here having custom images as their 'banner' on their profile (above the user pic and name), yet I can't seem to find an option to do it on mine in "Edit Profile"...help, anyone?

      I have one but I only got it after asking staff as I was unable to do it myself. However I doubt that they want to be bothered by everyone asking for it^^

      But maybe if there's enough demand, the option can be enabled for all users.

  8. https://www.pcgamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-is-delayed/ Well, I had a feeling it was coming. Gutted I won't be able to play it as soon as originally hoped, but if it means the game will be a more perfectly polished experience then I'm happy to wait.

      Damn shame, because they make great games & their consumer-friendly approach has always been well received. Hopefully the amount of tension this has garnered will force them to approach the crunch in a healthy & reasonable fashion.

    3. DarthParametric

      DarthParametric

      their consumer-friendly approach has always been well received

      Except that time they threatened supposed TW2 pirates with lawsuits unless they handed over a bag of cash (up to €1000 apparently). They soon realised that probably wasn't the best way to win friends and influence people and did a complete 180. They also used the horribly invasive DRM Starforce for the original release of TW1.

      Admittedly, that wasn't the best tactic on CDPR's part at all. But, I find it hard to sympathize with these alleged pirates who pirated from (at the time) an up and coming game studio who was relying on the success of The Witcher games to stay in business. Not saying they are perfect, by any means, but they are a far cry from the likes of Bethesda, Activision and EA these days, I just hope they don't devolve during this crunch period on Cyberpunk.

      Just did a search on my whole PC, I honestly can't find the Alternative Carth or K1 Dantooine textures for TSL anywhere, just re-dowloaded them too to check it didn't have a different name for them but nope, not there. I'm pretty sure the only mod I used for Carth was the admiralty one, but, in case I did and for some reason can't find it, sorry! When I'm downloading mods for the film, I save them in a separate folder named as "mod name - mod author", unless so...

      To be fair, Battlefront 2 is a very different game these days. I dare even say I actually enjoy playing it now. But yeah, would prefer someone else to handle any sort of remastered edition.

I don't expect everyone will be satisfied with the ending to TPK, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't proud of it (and the film as whole). Seriously can't wait for everyone to finally see it, I've really tried to give it a bit of a twist I don't think you'll see coming. Here's hoping...
