Metal Gear Rising Bugs?

PC Gamers reporting problems playing Metal Gear Rising : Revengeance

Metal Gear Rising Bugs?

"Eager PC owners who’ve already downloaded Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance have discovered that the game has significant problems should you lose your internet connection.

Over on the Steam forums users are complaining that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance immediately crashes to desktop should they lose their internet connection even for a moment…


Steam user “Howl” said "[W]henever I lau[n]ch the game while I'm connected to the internet, if my internet goes down (which is often because it's pretty bad) the game will just immediat[e]ly crash." The responses to his comment are pretty much unanimous, with users nearly all reporting this flaw with the Steam release of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

A fan tweeted Platinum Games’ producer JP Kellams who seemed to be totally unaware of the problem, replying “No idea. I’ll ask first thing.” Many users immediately jumped to the conclusion that it was some form of DRM at work, but it appears that it may well be an issue with Steam’s API. NeoGAF user Guess Who said “I can't say whether it's a bug or deliberate implementation, but it's not any other sort of DRM, all Steam."

Metal Gear Rising : Revengeance, I've waited the release date for this one. But still, I need a super spec PC to play it, since it asking for 9 GD rates VGA, CPU, and RAM. That's just impossible for me. Anyway, it's a shame that Metal Gear Rising still has some bugs in it. I;ve watched the trailer on July 2013, but it haven't even completed yet in 2014.

"A batch of screenshots have been released ahead of Assassin’s Creed: Liberation HD’s imminent launch, showcasing the visual differences between the Playstation Vita version and the upcoming PC remake.

Those afraid of an up-ressed version of the Playstation Vita game will be pleased that Assassin’s Creed: Liberation HD has been given a fresh lick of pain, with new character models and textures, as well as an extended draw distance.

The download-only release for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 will be using the same AnvilNext engine as Assassin’s Creed III, replete with improved facial animations and AI in comparison to the handheld original.




Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD tells the tale of the series' first ever female protagonist, Aveline de Grandpre, in 18th century New Orleans. Set at the end of the French and Indian war, the Louisina bayou provides the backdrop for the usual sneaky shenanigans.

Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD is set to release on January 15th for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360."

Not much to say, basically, it's just a visual improvisation, from mid level quality to High Definition (HD). I haven't played it yet (Assasin creed : Liberation) even though my PC's strong enough to play it. Maybe one day I'll play it.

Twelve Steam Machines to be Unveiled at CES 2014

"No less than twelve companies will be wading into the Steam Machine ring at CES 2014 this week, ready to knock-out the other competitors in their quest to belong under your telly.

Back in the mists of time when the Steam Box was first rumoured most assumed it would be a proprietary machine of sorts, but now its clear that everyone wants a piece of small-form factor action…

Steam Machine has a concept has evolved to a state where it can now be almost anything, provided it’s smaller than a traditional hulking great PC and it makes use of the extremely basic Steam OS and the intriguing controller.

We brought you the news last month of iBuyPower and Digital Storm’s entries into the Steam Machine world but we now know a total of ten other Valve partners will be presenting their wares at this weeks CES 2014.

Everyone involved so far includes Alienware, Alternate, CyberPower PC, Gigabyte, Falcon Northwest, Materiel.net, Next, Origin PC, Scan Computers, Webhallen and Zotac. This dirty dozen represents the initial batch of Steam Machines, although it’s still largely unknown what exactly is going to appear inside many of them.

We do know so far that Digital Storm’s model will start at $1500+, making this a top-end device, while iBuyPower will be coming in at a far more consumer friendly $499 price point. You might not expect much for a sum like that but it seems an AMD Radeon R9 270 has been promised, a $200 cost alone that already makes this machine seem like a great value option."

I'm a gamer, but non steam gamer. I live in Indonesia, and to get an original STEAM support video games I need to spend Rp. 600.000,- or $ 60.0 for Battlefield 4. And that's a huge amount of money for me. Anyway, about STEAM machines, I don't know what to say, I don't really understand this. But personally, I disappointed with this gaming evolution from years to years, which it's burden us, the low spec, from poor family gamers like me. This steam machine, will dominate almost 86% of released games over 2014, I just can feel it. And the PC's producer will invest their money and technology in this steam machine, which will cost more and more expensive. As you can see, my favorite PC producer, Alienware has joined this project, and ten all Alienware pc's and laptops will cost even more.
