  1. Game isnt difficult. The controls and fps just make it a chore. If the framerate and camera had kept up with how good the game is I would have loved it. But they dont.

     

    I started gaming 15 years ago and yes the game took me by surprise at first after all these years of corridor hand holding games we get.. but I soon adjusted to it. Sadly though the glitchy movement, weird laggy and snapy camera, awkward trico climbing mechanics, bad fps outdoors etc just make it a chore to find your way in an otherwise well crafted game and some great level design.

     

    Wasnt taking a shot at hope, took a shot at the game because of just how opposite to 'relaxing' my time with it has been.

  2. Lol relaxing my foot.

     

    The camera and framerate of this game are f**king atrocious. Movement, climbing etc is another glitchy mess. Gives me a headache. Has spoiled the whole art, beauty and essence of it for me. For the few moments when its all working- its a treat. Other times its nightmarish.

  3. Um..it looks cool. Thats its whole point. Its for aesthetic purposes. And the whole point is that it is ONLY using any resources(as little as it does) IF you are seeing it. If working or gaming in any fullscreen app it goes to sleep. So I am sorry but I am not seeing the argument here.

     

    Its not for showboating or OCD or any other obnoxious reason. Its for the same reason you wore a blue tshirt today instead of a red one or stressed your gpu for another as useless(or fruitful, depends on perspective) activity like gaming or a movie. Its for feels. Hehe

     

    As for Rainmeter, its point is different(fron videos you shared). With wallpaper engine its right now a dark cozy little fireplace on my desktop. Minimal, tasteful and really HQ. I dont think such a thing was possible before this on PC, atleast not this simply and bug-freely.

     

    Problem is you seem to not have used this app or tried it so you are not able to imagine what and how it is. Once you do, then you can decide whether you do or do not appreciate whats its doing, aesthetically or otherwise. Its not some random aero effect or rotating widgets.

  4. Omg that Rainmeter seems really archaic and convoluted. Both in use and look. Also its totally not what Wallpaper engine is.

     

    @Alpha

    The live wallpaper goes into PAUSE mode whenever ANY app or window is in fullscreen mode. And even when its running the app uses next to nothing PC resources. Its extremely smooth, unbelievaby high quality and the simplest to use.. and that is the reason I am in shock and awe with it.

     

    And its not at all about widgets or info with this one. Its purely for aesthetic purposes. The max you get is some animated clocks(some really creative ones tho) and/or live music equalisers. But thats not the crux of it.. it is the 4k HQ loop video wallpapers and some quirky animated-interactive ones.

  5. Its 200 odd bucks. Get it now why wait on something that can add so much value to your PC. Trust me once you get it you'll be like why didnt I have this sooner! Just sayin :P

     

     

    @Alpha

    Wallpaper engine isnt centered around widgets though. Its more about CG/video/interactive wallpapers.

     

     

     

    P.S. If anyone does end up buyin this make sure to change the fps to 60 and msaa to 8x in options.

  6.  

    Sorry but what's so cool about it?

    Really, REALLY high quality live wallpapers for PC. Many are interactive and really varied.

     

    Strong community with thousands of high quality free downloads.

     

    P.S. Uses next to nothing pc resources.

     

     

    ^ It is like Rainmeter but paid and with achievements for the OCD.

    Didnt know of it. Googled and seems to me rainmeter is for stats and info on desktop but not live wallpalers... or is it?
  7. Guys pls recommend a tablet under 10k. Need it for my mom. Use is only for movies, youtube and web browsing(and sometimes candy crush level games lol). Dont need sim slot. Must have 8 inch or above screen. Should operate smoothly...

     

    I have no idea about the tablet scene, never bought one- never needed one. Thanks in advance.

  8. @Athek

     

    Do you get any slight current/tingling/mild shock while charging your S7 on its metallic sides? Or in your S6 before it?

     

     

     

    @Others

     

    Guys need to know urgently, is a slight current/tingling/mild shock sensation on the sides of a metallic phone WHILE CHARGING-a common place and not harmful?

     

    Have anyone of you ever had personal experience? And if yes, is it more to do with a faulty phone or bad earthing in one's house?

  12. Went to Samsung store today and there is a great deal on S7 and edge.

     

    Basically same price as online.. 43400 & 51000 respectively with these added bonus:

     

    -Samsung gear vr 2 for 2000(mrp 8000)

    -1 year screen replacement in case of damage at just 1000 instead of 16000mrp.

     

    Is this deal really as good as it sounds? Athek u got this? Seems too good to be true :s especially interested in gear vr to get a taste of virtual reality at just 2k extra is great condiderong all other vr alternatives cost 10's of thousands...

  13. Moto Z play doesnt have OIS in camera. Thats the only and big downside for it.

     

    Guys should i go for galaxy s7, s6 edge or iphone 7 32gb? Will buy one of the 3, but only if i get a great discount, currently There is none.

     

    Also how exactly does paytm cashback work? Can i pay by card n still get cashback or only if i pay via paytm credits will i get it?

  14. Out of the 3 I think the Moto Z looks the best. As I said Unique and stand out design yet in good taste and elegant. S6 I think again takes a risk with the glass body and looks a bit different than plastic bodies. One plus 3 looks like a HTC M8 clone. Which isnt bad, but just seems a bit boring to me. Bland-ish. Plus I really need that 2k display.

     

    It just comes to personal preference I think. That and I am really burnt out on generic looking spec sheet endorsing phones.

     

    Ah well I guess I will just have to stretch my budget a bit upto 40k for more options to open up. That or wait for the next sale.

  15. ^ What does the MOTO Z and the Galaxy S line do to excite you, apart from the superlative camera on the latter.

     

    And if specifications do not matter get a MOTO G or an iPhone and be done with it.

    I think Moto Z and Galaxy S line both stand out right now in terms of design. Unique yet elegant. One plus 3 looks good too but very generic to me.

     

    The only reason I would even consider an Iphone is just for a visual change in UI. Nothing else excites me about its overpriced tech.

     

    And specs matter, upto a certain extent, then its just numbers on a chart and tech that most will never make full use of in day to day usage.

     

    For ex. I just dropped the idea of Moto X Force cuz its camera doesnt have OIS. Would trade that for 1 less gb of ram.

     

    never had a single issue with s6 OTA, though will agree on the battery part.

     

    @Mango_Man - Phone is a very personal choice, if 2K is on your mind you have limited choices. Android has evolved now, and is a very good OS, all latest phone should serve you well.

    Ya right now the only good choice seems to be the Galaxy S6 edge. Would prefer the non edge for under 30k if I can find a deal with warranty though. I find the edge thingy gimmicky and actually a hindrance.

     

    Edit-

     

    See this-

     

  16. Why not look at the One Plus 3 / 3T?

    It doesnt have a 2k display. It is amoled though I think. Also I am not a fan of its design and feel per say. It doesnt excite like the Galaxy S series phones or even the new Moto Z. Specs dont mean and matter much these days anyway. If I am getting a new phone and shilling out 30kish and still not excited about the device then whats the point...

  17. Get the S6 edge for around 34k.

    Tempting. Although how about Moto X Force? Its going for 26k and seems like a steal. Weirdly I cant find any big mainstream international reviews for it, guess its called something else outside inside.

     

    Also, if edge is 34k I thought S6 non edge would be under 30k but no luck finding that deal. Weird.

  18. Guys please suggest a phone around 30k. Havent been following the mobile phone scene for a while. No Xiaomis and Asuses and such brands.

     

    Not looking for anything in particular but it must have a 2k amoled screen and a good camera and great battery and physical Home and back keys and a good looker. :P

     

    Did slight research and late 2015 moto x force matched almost all criteria. Even galaxy s6 should fit i guess. How are these phones? Any others?

  19. So controller use isnt mandatory for PC players in crossplay lobbies? If not, will fail. Guess they want it to if they dont even have this basic foresight. Just make controller a must and all lobbies crossplay. And may be a mix mode PC only lobby option for PC players that cant use a controller.
