The PC gaming Thread. Steam/GOG/Origin/Etc. Game/Software/Hardware talk

lol it’s only day 2. Like 9 more days to go. Prepare that wallet : )

Checking out the deals over at gamers gate. They have Kingdoms of Amalur for $7.50. Steam doesn’t even have that game on sale so I’ll have to get it from there.

I’m leaving town in an hour and I’ll be gone till sunday (with no computer or wifi), so I’ll be less ready to buy stuff lol. The bigger issue is the time I’m going to spend playing these games hahaha.

You can still buy stuff using the Steam app on a smart phone.

Shhhhh…

…i know,I’m still going to be checking prices

I have a beta key for final fantasy 14 if anyone wants it.

edit - gone

I have 137 games on my account, I doubt I’ve played half of them… damn you steam

I was gonna buy GTA4 for $5 yesterday, then Steam kept getting errors because fuckers kept hammering their servers. When I could finally get back on, price jumped up to $10.

So far, fuck this Steam sale. This is my first ever Steam sale and it sucks ass :tdown:

The GTA deal was up for 8 hours, and their servers weren’t hammered the entire time : P

What flash deals did I miss overnight? Anything good?

Xcom, i can’t remember any others tbh. I’m hoping system shock gets voted up, though i feel like a lot of people will have it already

I logged onto my PC, saw GTA for $5, added it to my Cart, clicked My Cart, got the error. Tried every 15 to 30 minutes after that until the sale ended. Wasn’t able to get in up to the last 15 mins of the sale, so I said fuck it.

If RPG Maker VX Ace was like 80% off, I’d cop it. I used to be big into the homebrew traditional RPG development scene. Worked on a few games, and it was a blast. I was heavy into the XP version back in 2005/2006, and kinda fell out of the scene right when the original VX came out. The community is kind of crappy, but the RPG Maker software itself if a powerful tool. If you are good at coding/programming and can create your own resources, you can make whatever you want. Even MMOs. And if your final product is a hit, you can go commercial. Maybe even sell that sumbitch on Steam.

This is me:

@SWBeta Hey so GTAIV is on sale again for $5 as a daily deal instead of a flash sale

also not sure I have you on my steam friends list beta

How is dark souls its on sale and wondering if its worth getting.

I would say if you have a passing interest in it you should pick it up. I have it for PS3 (probably like 60ish hours there) and got it when it went on sale for the first time. I think it has the best combat of any ARPG I’ve seen, that’s just an opinion of mine the ‘endurance meter’ makes every fight super tense. If you want to read more we’ve got a thread for it: Demon’s/Dark Souls Thread. Dark Souls II!

Also my buddy, who has some pretty good taste in games imo, messaged me the minute he saw me log onto it saying its his favorite single player game of the last 10 years.

It depends on what you like. Combat and stat&equipment customization are top tier imo. I am still a newb in terms of DS though so I would ask for people’s opinions in the thread

I would get Dark Souls for ten bucks or less, in fact, I did. But I would suggest playing it with a controler and downloading dsfix.

I copped that shit with the quickness as soon as the deals changed :tup:

What’s your Steam ID?

I had no idea about this. Will have to check it out when I get home.

Yo, holy shit, I think I need to upgrade my graphics card. My stock PC can barely run Tomb Raider at Normal settings on fullscreen 1080p.

I don’t know shit about computers and/or upgrading them, but I have a buddy that does. What’s a recommended gfx card to get to run TR buttery smooth at Normal settings at fullscreen 1080p?

Let me know if you need any info. Thanks in advance :china:

What kinda computer you got? Not some dell or something right? Anyhow, there are all kinda graphics cards. Look at newegg and read the feedback and shit.

I need to upgrade my ram.

Exodus - dsfix is great. Game ran like crap then I applied that fix and it runs great.
