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

Caved and preordered 98 UM. Nostalgia bug got the better of me, now that I did that the online will be shit. Still, 98 never ends.

As far as buying from amazon, its mostly because i’m from hawaii and amazon handles the shipping free usually. I go on new egg for a fractal design case and they’d charge upwards towards $68~ for the case. Shipping charges would kill me if most of my parts werent free shipping, so yeah fuck hawaii lol.

As for my fractal design case, i’d probably have to order it from best buy and do instore pick up at this rate unless amazon does another great sale and it doesnt cancel on me like before.

Gonna be digging across sites for a second chance at better deals for my parts.

Caved and bought dragon age inquisition ($45 on amazon right now). I have no idea how it will run on my gts 250… But now I’m really crossing my fingers on getting that new gpu this holiday season.

If you got a group of buddies, the best online team game I’ve played on steam has to be Guns of Icarus Online

75% off, go go go!

Bough about $75+ worth of Steam games this past weekend. Let’s see…

  • Company of Heroes 1 and 2
  • Evil Within
  • Transistor
  • Shadow Returns
  • Witcher 2
  • Broken Sword(1-3)
  • This War of Mine
  • Divinity Original Sin

I’ve never played Skyrim nor Witcher 1 but yoOoo Witcher 2 is the truth! This rpg is insane! Excellent story so far, great graphics, voice overs/dialogues, adult contents up the wazoo etc. Here’s the shenanigans I’ve encountered so far and I’m only in chapter 1 of the game!

Spoiler

-I had to sabotage a catapult but a prick guard is on it. So what do i do? Hire a local prostitute for ā€˜distraction’ for the guard while I do my sabotaging

-Spent my startup money at the local brothel.

-With no money to buy the bombs needed to complete one of the side quest, had to arm wrestle and Fight club local bar bums to earn back some of the money that I burned at said local brothel establishment.
-Banged an npc sorceress.
-Defeated a giant fuckin kraken with the help of a well-endowed sorceress.
-Resolve a troll issue w/o resorting to violence.

The game starts slowly but once you get the hang of things, the game really opens up. It’s like I’m controlling one of the characters in Games of Thrones! The best part? The game is only 10 bucks! I highly recommend it. I can only imagine what awaits after this chapter ends.

So many games, so little damn time! This Christmas break is going to be awesome!

The best part is, Witcher 2 is worth a second play through. Your choices really matter and have weight. Can’t wait until 3.

Witcher 2 story and lore is the best I’ve seen in any video game. But they cheated since their using source from an actual novels. PHONIES!!

But yeah, listen to AreEyeSeaKay, playing the game again and picking different choices you literally see another part of a game. Kinda nuts.

I’m happy to run through Stick of Truth again. I thought it wouldn’t be as funny since I knew the jokes but glad to see I forgot a lot of them.

Crimzon Clover WORLD IGNITION…hot damn!

My only gripe so far is the limited controller setup.
It would be nice to make ā€œLock-onā€ one of the triggers on my controller…easier for me to lock-on and shoot at the same time.

I bought Witcher 2 but my PC can’t handle it, and I don’t feel like setting up my Alienware just to play it. Sucks, because I liked Witcher 1.

Steam has broadcasting now: http://steamcommunity.com/updates/broadcasting

It’s not straight to Twitch, though, is it?
That’s the one feature Origin had (besides refunds) that I think Steam should steal: Built-in streaming to 3rd party sites.

You watch streams in Steam itself. It doesn’t link to Twitch.

A twitch-less stream related to gaming? Interesting…
What are you up to, Gabe!

Sonic generations just got added to the humble Sega bundle list. Steam and humble bundles make having a pc so very lovely

Good to see people finding the Witcher games after all this time. Aside from what you’ve already seen, shit CONTINUES to get real. And I mean with the actual story too, not just the brothels. Although spoiler alert:

That part doesn’t quit, he pretty much continues to bang everyone like a stone cold pimp all game long. Obviously you don’t have to, but still.

you guys make me wanna play witcher 2

might get shadow of mordor for that 60fps

If you haven’t yet, you REALLY need to. All pimp jokes aside, it’s got an amazing combat system and a great story, with branching paths that actually matter. Like, completely different parts of the game, matter.

Yall making me more excited about my pc fuck.

I got all those games and i’ve been holding steadfast.

Witcher 2 is amazing.

If you haven’t already, switch off Ubersampling unless you have a Rig from the Heavensā„¢.

I think they wanna try something new with the International, possibly giving more interactivity to it. I’m not sure.
I tried it a bit with my dad, but the broadcasting made him lag while playing Left 4 Dead, so I didn’t do too much.
