The PAYDAY 2 developers now own the franchise, ditching microtransactions, PAYDAY 3 looks like it's a thing

Nice. I dunno, maybe I'm too harsch with the unlock system, since I didn't tried it (yet, maybe). But in other games with such a system, I really hated it.

Cool, was interessted in this one, but the microtransactions really turned me down, and the COD/BF like unlock system bs. Is both gone? Or at least the microtransactions completly? Can pls someone, who has this game, report about the current state?

Thx

Is it really that hard to play a video in Unity without that Bink. One could think a gameengine this size can do that...

Ok the boxed fans that came with the CPUs always where bs, loud and inefficient and I had a few overheating issues too. Untill i learned that i must buy a real fan with the CPU and throw the original one away as soon as i'm home xD But since then....

Quoting: mr-egg[...]They haven’t made a good CPU line since the Phenom II, when was that ? 2008 - 2009 [...]
Are the AMD CPUs really that bad? I use AMD since the Athlon64 series and atm an FX-8150 and can't complain but tbh never benchmarked against a Intel with the same price-tag.

But their GPUs are a real pain. I have one in my laptop. It took 4 years till i could control the backlight after a hibernate-resume. Still crashes when there was attached a VGA-Monitor at some point and then hibernate-resume and takes always two tries to change the resolution after connecting a VGA-Monitor. It always gets it wrong on the first try. Nearly always crashes on resume when i watched a fullscreen YT-Video less then 10 mins before hibernate. And of course the mandatory performance problems.

And even on the windows side it was horrible. The driver was as bad as possible. Visual glitches in nearly every Game newer than 2010. And the official driver installer refused to install a newer version for 3 years because of the Toshiba-brand. Ok with some tricks it was possible but newer bothered about that because i have the PC for serious stuff....

So on the GPU side i really agree with you thats totally their fault.

[EDIT]
In the old days of LAN-Partys i can remember there where always two groups of people. The people playing games and the ATI owners xD
So ATI/AMD worked for several years hard for the mistrust that i would never buy a AMD GPU again.

Quoting: Beamboom@melkemind: May I remind you of Ferals own comment here:

"Somehow" is definitely the key word here. You're all so good at figuring these things out that we decided to make this one ridiculously tricky...6
So if anything, I'd say the safest guess of ALL is that this hint has nothing whatsoever to do with "A Thousand and One Nights" or theories directly related to that. We have to look wider!

... But where? Now that's anyones guess :)
The Elder Scrolls?
