Yep, and the edition that includes DS1 and DS2 also did. An error, but I do not remember if it was cancelled.
At least we know they're making progress right now by watching the achievements being unlocked LOL
Oh I was being sarcastic with how right on you were. Often companies and countries have figure heads so it's assumed that they are "running" things. Of course as you get older you realize it's not so cut and dry.
There are also variables that most of us just won't ever know which decisions are based on daily in business.
I remember when the team who made Kinect adventures shipped on the premise we would be working on a next gen new ip. I mean we had a rockstar team, vets from film (Disney,Sony ) and gaming (Mass effect , god of war, etc) , no way you stack a team this talented for just Kinect.
Fast forward and we not only had to do more Kinect but went outside gaming to interactive tv then hololens. Morale sucked.
But from a leader POV, you have two options pivot your team (100+) where funding is or cause them to lose their jobs. You can't share this at the time of course but decisions at that level can be tough. Lay offs don't just affect the people and their families directly impacted but everyone who is left too.
Business is really just a bunch of shifting priorities and most of the time there is good reason behind why things are not as valued. Leaders struggle with the right transparency balance. It's also rarely one person at fault and yes fall people are set up all the time even just to boost morale internally.
Microsoft's latest thing is
"Our mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more."
This is the company goal so you can see why gaming is not a huge priority.
I've been on teams that had reviews with Gates,Ballmer.
Gates: straight shooter , knows his stuff , be prepared to answer technical questions. With hololens he wanted to know about text clarity because how will office translate? What's the app product pipeline and tech stack?
Ballmer: no idea how he would react just be prepared for a reaction. Could swing either way, less technical than Gates.
Satya: from what I hear , much more personable but knows his stuff and will question just not nearly as intense. However his decisions are swift and impactful. Impress and he will remember but I also have a feeling he may remember disappointments too lol.
From my interactions with Phil. He's legit just a nice guy. Maybe too nice to be honest. It can be difficult to get things done when nice in corporate environments. I always got the sense he's loyal and one to wait for the right opportunity to push vs other leader types who will run over whoever is blocking their agenda for that week.
Phil is tough to judge because a lot of his role is public facing these days which is why Matt was elevated. Public facing roles representing big companies is no joke and you need to say what is required at times.
Reminds me of upselling rewards when I worked at blockbuster back in the day lol.
Also feel free to post! I only share my experiences just to add a different view.

Can people stop basing their opinion of the Resonance of Fate port on the words of a single person?
The port has problems for sure, but nothing that should immediately cross it off your list if you have a passing interest in the game. At the very least, do some research? On launch it had a memory leak issue, they patched it. On launch it didn't have an exit button, they patched one in. People complained about controller issues and UI bugs, they patched it. Currently there is an issue that effects SOME people with crackling/stuttering/out-of-sync audio. There is also a stutter issue when loading a new area. They are looking into this and hoping to patch further. (Most recent patch was less than a week ago.) I don't understand why everyone is so quick to write the port off on the command of a single person. Especially when some of you were beaming with hype beforehand...
Weirdos.
It's greatest sin is probably a lack of arbitrary resolution support which Durante already nailed it to a cross for in the last monthly thread. It goes up to 4K and only supports 16:9 resolutions down to 900p. Again, it does have issues. They are being worked on. PC Gamers have surely seen much worse ports. User reviews are still Very Positive (83%), maybe that's fueled by nostalgia, but the "crap port" reviews are the exception, not the norm.
Give 'em a chance at least.

Makes sense, thanks!

The port is not great. The performance problems are real, the audio stutter is real (though partially fixed by switching to surround), and the limitations are real. They also made the KBM controls worse with the patch to allow up/down target switching on the controller (since the keyboard only has left/right, it makes the game's awful targeting controls even worse since it's now impossible to switch between certain targets at certain camera angles).
That said, it's perfectly playable IMO. Also, the game fully supports 16:10 output in fullscreen mode (since it uses the desktop resolution); it's letter-boxed and supports native up/downsampling (the game's resolution setting is used for the rendering resolution).
You should buy it, play it, and then forget all about it.
Storing media on an NVMe really is a waste, they're great if you work a lot with files thanks to the high IOPS, copying, moving, creating will be crazy fast. Load times should be a few seconds shorter here and there, besides Windows I mostly put multiplayer titles that regularly load levels and open world games that stream a lot on mine. But honestly for casual users like us they're a luxury and hard to justify, best thing about M.2 drives (which of course can be NVMe or SATA) is the form factor, tiny, out of the way, no cables. So get 2TB SATA now, smaller NVMe later.
It's a sad state of affairs when you receive shityy pms for doing a giveaway too. Really am starting to question things now sadly
wut? people sure are entitled i guess.
and yeah, fuck those people.
Name and shame.
Also why not kick them from the Discord? If they can't handle a few @everyone during community events now and again why are they even there?
Not even surprised. People are terrible. Stay safe Queen.
Fuck them dude. Get them banned here for harassment, I think that's a part of the policy.
Literally watched exactly this happen during the give-away event.
He's not directing that at Queen. There were people in the discord acting like that for real when Queen and others were giving out stuff for free.
I'm mocking people who get upset by a little red notification. Mine doesn't even make a sound I changed that a long time ago.
Really sucks you had to go through that. People take advantage whenever they see generosity spread forth and believe they are entitled to something. Don't let those folks ruin it for you.
Literally why would people do that.
Complete idiots the lot of them
That's sad and awful and sad. Love seeing the mania surrounding your impending acts of kindness. I loved watching Discord (I'm Casper!) today during that mayhem.
yeah i'm in no hurry, but i kind of just want to see japan again!
i should boot up yakuza 0 again cos i miss osaka
A giveaway event when I was fast asleep? Sounds about right.
It's in the OP on the first page.
I don't get salty as I am always sleeping as its night time when it happens. Honestly if this continues I think Queen should just stop it, it not worth the stress.
The whole PM harassment seems like a thing that's always happened with big gifters. I recall it happening to Sub-Zero and possibly Rhaknar in the past as well. Name and shame, weed out the rotten I say.
Don't turn the notification on, otherwise random giveaway might ruin your day!
I discovered something new today that I've never heard of. My performance on Forza Horizon 3 has been much worse than before I reinstalled windows 10 a few days ago. I was almost certain that it would be because of some new drivers fucking something up. Then I started to think what could it possibly be before going through the DDU steps, because I sincerely never had any problems with driver updates from nvidia unlike others. What has changed in the past few days is that I acquired a new case, and remounted my system in it. During the process of remounting it I changed something based on aesthetics that I had absolutely no idea could tank my performance: GPU from slot 1 to slot 2. After fiddling with google for answers that was it: slot 1 is PCIex16 while slot 2 is PCIex4. After searching for it, it turned out that yeah, changing GPU from slot 1 to 2 was reducing my performace.
I've most certainly never heard of it. Interesting. Thankfully tried to think a bit before going through all the hassle of reinstalling older drivers which wouldn't help whatsoever.

Yea pretty easily took look over that not every slot on the mobo is the same.
Yeah, it seems very ordinary, but I didn't know it beforehand. Never really examined my mobo paying close attention to such details
On the Let It Die livestream that's happening now (https://www.twitch.tv/gunghoamerica) they're showing off the No More Heroes crossover event. Starts in 2 days, you can get Travis Touchdown's outfit and beam katana, and there's new NMH themed decals.

I was on my way to work at about that time! I did notice a massive influx into the discord all of a sudden.
Sorry if this was talked about, did anyone get an email about VIP GMG? I've bought just a handful of games from them and they said it's for "super-loyal customers". There's deals on pre orders and games already out but didn't seem like anything stellar.
