Bay 12 Games Forum

Shortly after the patch, I joined up with the first random discord group that would take me for a 14 day lvl 40 survival run.
It turned out, all 3 of the guys I was with did not know the first thing about effective fort design. So I basically spent the entire time running around frantically throwing up funnels and walls, and trying to salvage what the others had built into something useful. Over the course of those 14 days and nights, I expended every last resource I had, building dozens of traps each night and crafting weapons and ammo for my under-prepared allies. As the final night turned to day, half of our generators were under 10% health, but we somehow managed to scrape by and claim our rewards. This was definitely the most exciting Fortnite adventure I've been on, and I can't wait to do it again!

PC open beta is available now, for a few days only. Can be installed through the Blizzard launcher.
Open beta has ended! PC launch October 24th.
Open beta consisted of a brief story segment which closes the door on the settings from the first game, and opens the path forward to the second game. Then there is a single coop mission that lasts 10-20 minutes, and pvp arena mode.

As many reviewers from the console beta have already said, this feels a lot like more of Destiny 1. A lot of the exact same enemies, exact same settings, exact same strategies employed. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as the first game was quite popular, but it does make the price point of a full new game a bit difficult to justify.

Controls on PC feel a bit floaty...you can tell it was designed for consoles then ported to PC. Things usually work when they need to...I usually accomplish whatever I'm trying to do; but it's less satisfying knowing that the system is automatically interpreting my intentions and making them happen, rather than letting me have full precise control over every movement.

At this point, it would be hard for me to recommend the beta, just due to the size of the thing(16GB) for what amounts to about half an hour of gameplay. You might get a bit more value out of it if you're into the PvP parts.

Edit:

Destiny 2 PC has officially launched!

Trumps silly reason/excuse for doing the pardon in the middle of the hurricane: ""
Just a case of 'politician says silly reason/excuse for why they did x'.

He went on to justify his pardoning of Joe by listing every single unpopular person pardoned by Obama and Clinton.

Also, his new justification for The Wall is to keep drugs out. This excuse is slightly more tenable than 'all immigrants are serial rapists', but still doesn't make a wall even remotely viable in terms of cost or effectiveness compared to other options.
Also, the other day I heard him say it would be a wall you can see through. Unless he's planning to build it out of glass, that's called a fence.

I wonder if we will see a PSVR price drop next? Having lower resolution and fps and a much more limited library, price was really the only thing PSVR had going for it.

PSVR Price Drop

$400 for headset+camera, $450 for headset+camera+controllers.
Still feels like the worst VR product for it's cost.

Dev Update #4

TLDW:
The update on the 29th will include a free package for all players consisting of inventory and schematic slots(to accommodate the new schematics and resources being added), as well as a weapon and people llama. There will also be quests in each region related to the new game features, rewarding players with mythic survivors and legendary weapons. There is also supposed to be one extremely challenging quest that will reward players with their choice of one of the four new legendary heroes!

Yay free stuff!

Looks like the best parts of Pokemon and Harvest Moon mashed together. And the trailer shows enough progress to convince me the project will be completed in a timely manner. I would absolutely invest, except...
It looks like the game is really designed to be played with a console controller, and there's no option to get a console copy by investing now. And I refuse to plug my console controller into my PC, even though it's sitting a few feet away and would take literally seconds to do...but it's the principle! I'll buy it on PS4 after it's released.

Looks like police have had to resort to gas-canisters against the anti-Trump crowds who are quickly turning violent outside his rally.
