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

ugh! A lot of these reboots/sequels screw up winning formulas. I saw Ys games on Steam. I shall check those out. I remember Mask of the Sun being quite challenging.

Only just seeing this now. The Shadow Warrior reboot looks cool, but it doesnā€™t get me nearly as hype as Rise of the Triad 2013 does.

New interview with the developers of ROTT 2013:

Oh, and lol @ 02:38 :

MK9 on PC is amazing. I just wish they added the Vita costumes to it.

These guys get it. Watch this video, then watch the one about Shadow Warrior. These guys have an amazing design philosophy of keeping this game oldschool and preserving the ā€œsoulā€ of Rise of the Triad.

In the Shadow Warrior video, one of the developer straight-up says they canā€™t make the modern Shadow Warrior game like the original. Once you see the gameplay video of Shadow Warrior, it honestly looks nothing like the original in any way, especially the run speed. Flying Wild Hog doesnā€™t know whatā€™s up, they only have a small amount of knowledge of how to make an oldschool FPS game, and their game ā€œHard Resetā€ is proof. Slow-ass walk/run speeds=ass.

Oh god, I donĀ“t know, what should I preorder at Steam. Lost Planet 3, Payday 2, the new Splinter Cell, Saints Row 4, the new XCOM, wonder what should I get.

I would hold off on Lost Planet 3 until people get their hands on it. Spark Unlimited has a shitty track record.

ā€œWe have our own back end multiplayer system so no matter where you buy the game you will see the same servers and players online.ā€

Ahh yeah, ROTT devs are bringing me back. In-game matchmaking to a point where you donā€™t need no fucking Gamespy/All Seeing Eye/reliance on Steam servers for matchmaking/servers themselves.

You should pre-order Rise of the Triad.

^Rise of the Triad looks like a game, which will turn out really good imo. Found a few traders, who sell this game for 5 TF2 keys(8ā‚¬), will for sure get it,

Elsword on steam

the summer steam sale was just alright this time around. the game i wanted most didnt go on sale at all (resident evil revelations) and metro last light didnt discount enough for me to buy it. but i save a few bucks here and there selling a lot of steam cards. i ended up purchasing:

FTL: 1.20$
The Swapper: 7.99$ (i think?)
Far Cry3 Blood Dragon: 8.99 (i think?)
Dues Ex:HR 1.50$

during the sale i voted for kentucky route zero to be the community choice but i think something else won, but this week it went on sale so i picked that up as well.

ROTT doesnā€™t look that interesting. If the mplayer is fast paced and fun like unreal and quake series iā€™ll buy it.

I just built my first gaming pc yesterday, right on time to miss the summer steam sale. Are their any other dates I should look out for that have great sales for pc games?

Steam has sales around Xmas, Halloween(Mainly horror games like L4D or Killing Floor) and also Thanksgiving(Think about Cyber Monday or Black Friday, they called it Autumn Sale last year), those will come after a few months. Sometimes, there are also a few publisher sales.
Link for checking prices:



They had, beside the Summer Sale, also a Spring sale with mainly Indie games on sale, not sure, if they will also do it in the following years.

You gonna be playing Rise of the Triad?

It is.

GOG.com is worth checking out, and things like the humble indie bundle can snag you games for next to nothing.

A bunch of Deep Silver games are up a dollar to $5. Saints Row 2 and 3, Sacred 2: Gold, Risen 2 are all ONE DOLLAR in a bundle and Saints Row 3 complete+Dead Island(all DLC) are $5 for both.

Iā€™ll be playing Rise of the Triad later today or tomorrow. Iā€™ll be Streaming it, too.

PSN darling Guacamelee is coming to steam withā€¦

  • Costume Pack
  • The Devilā€™s Playground DLC

Itā€™ll be 10% off during itā€™s first week and Tales of Space: Mutant Blobs Attack comes free with it. Iā€™ll think Iā€™ll buy it early to show my support even if my computer might have trouble running it.

Speaking of platformers who is getting Rayman Legends on PC?

Damn canā€™t wait for Rise of the Triad to be unlocked on steam so I can play it, oh well another 4 hours to go at least I already got the game preloaded at least so I donā€™t have to download it.

People who got it off of GOG.com are already playing it.

Spoiler

My copy is still downloading.

I saw they were releasing a Naruto game on Steam, too bad its the fighting series I donā€™t really like

Shadowrun Returns is pretty fun, its definitely Indie, but enjoyable. I like the idea of user generated content too
