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

Ya those loading times are crap compared to the PS2 version for dragon quest 8. Seems to run pretty choppy as well.

My monitor was dying, I tried to fix it myself and well, it’s no longer fixable. Any suggestions on a buying a new one?

Black Friday is near.

GOG.com is having a massive sale right now. They’re also giving away free copies of Mount & Blade for the next 48 hours.

Oh, and you can also get The Witcher 2 for free by visiting the site and collecting stamps for each day.

But that’s like… A whole 2 weeks… With no pc!

That’s what I’m looking at, because my wife will kill me if I get another monitor in the 27" range. Not sure how much better I’ll be able to grab on black Friday for about the same price.

Oh shit. That was my main squad too. This port is so freaking great. Love the in-game graphics. Plus, this game will always bring back fond memories of Beta getting killed repeated by Musaad.

Too bad FF13 only goes up to 720P, at least it’s 60 FPS though. There’s a few hiccups in the port as well, but if you never played it on 360, i guess it’s not that bad. My sister had the game and FF13-2, for years, but now i might take the lunge into the 13 series and just play it on PC. (save me the stories, i’m fully aware of how these games have been perceived by fans)

So Sega is like ā€œholy shit I didn’t think VC would sellā€ attitude, we PC may have a bright future for Weeaboo island. Hopefully they bring DQ10… Ya know… The better version of ff14!! Fuck!

VC sold because it was a reasonably well done PC port of a cult classic. If they’d sort out their issues porting games properly, they’d sell more too.

Virtua Fighter 5, for instance. Hint hint.

EDIT: just started tonight. Apparently turning vsync on makes my game run in slow motion. With it off, no issues, resolution and frame rate are perfectly fine. No tearing at all. Whatever, vsync.

Also for all I’ve heard about this game not being typical anime tropes, it’s anime as FUCK. You get into the awkward romantic subplot with the emotionally vulnerable tomboy before you even get to the main story, and you’ve got an ā€œadoptedā€ sister? In a Japanese game? If this DOESN’T go where everyone knows it’s already going, it gets 10/10 best anime game ever JUST for not doing that. Because fuck that shit. I don’t play that oni chan bullshit.

Aside from the typical anime gripes, it seems like a cool game so far. We’ll see if it really does get more serious down the line. Just had everyone I know personally who’s played it tellin me it’s not all typical anime shit, and so far a good chunk of it is.

Lol, well my bad if I had any hand in giving ya that impression. I was gauging the desu-levels to stuff like visual novels and Hyperdimension Nip-tunia.

My favorite thing about VC is that people with blue hair = black people. Fuckin Japan!

…I hope they put the other VC games on there, too.
VC 3, though.

Goddamn, I can’t run ACU on sli gtx 480. This is intense.

Binding of Isaac:Rebirth is crack

My finished build.
Graphics card will fit nicely until I see the 770 go under 200 then I will switch the card over to a mini media center build.
Hell I might even keep it and just get another for the media build since it will play all my games without problems and the games my friends want to play.

For all that helped answer my questions along the way, thanks.

It was more people I know personally that I was talking about, who ought to know full well that my animu tolerance is FAR less than the stuff you just listed lol.

The system seems cool though, still not anywhere dangerous yet. Although I did find out that when they said engineers have poor combat skills, they REALLY meant it. Didn’t lose mans, but still. I can see why people are so high on it, especially if they actually LIKE anime.

Could say the same for Rogue Legacy. I’m not sure why I’m so late to the party as it pertains to games like that, but I just got it yesterday on sale and I’m hooked…

Rouge Legacy is awesome too

Why oh why whenever I join a game and we agree to do a stealth mission in Payday 2…some fuck just HAS to shoot a civilian/guard?

Payday 2 is the business though…drills are still crocks of shit.

I gotta unlock my main Hoxton.

I’m still waiting for a humble bundle with rogue legacy. It’s not that I doubt it’s worth the money, but if I’m going to buy more indies at this point I need to beat some first.

If it’s a humble bundle at least I feel like I did something good with my money when I see my 100+ indie collection that I haven’t touched yet.
