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

those night maps on insurgency are OD fun.

The Witcher 2 does sound very interesting. I may pick it up during the Winter Sale.

Gog had it for free last week… You just had to go to the site each day during the fall sale.

GoG has Freedom Planet on sale, 50% off ^^^v

Telling you bruvs, get on this Witcher 2 if you haven’t before the Steam sale ends. I’m playing on it with low-end/medium graphics settings and the game is still gorgeous.
Also, the things some of these npc says is downright legendary; fukin’ Zoltan man

. Sometimes I’d just wait next to a bunch of soldiers just to hear em crack jokes. Some of the ones I remember so far as of Chapter 2:

Spoiler

Iorveth: "Vernon Roche! Special Forces Commander for the last four years; servant of the Temerian King. Responsible for the pacification of the Mahakaman foothills. Hunter of Elves, murderer of women and children!"
Roche: ā€œIorveth! A regular son of a bitch!ā€

Geralt<after entering the local camp’s whore house>: ā€œIm looking for a whoreā€.

King Henselt: ā€œThere’s an old Kaedwen saying - a bitch will never bite another bitch.ā€

Zoltan: ā€œAh, my favorite type of magic. Lesbomancy.ā€

The script on this game is really something else - it just fits the characters. At one point, I was laughing so hard my gf gave me that wtf look. She just doesn’t understand.
Zoltan is my homey!

Best $10 bucks I’ve spent this year. I can see why this game receive so many accolades last year.

It’s an absolute must play type of game.

agreed with all said about the witcher series. & it seem like its always on sale. gifted a few friends the witcher 2 when it was .99 cents.

Reading all the rave reviews about Witcher 2…I was checking to see how much it costs now.

Then I see this:

I don’t remember when or why I got this game…the Steam Sale is too strong.

Will try this game out soon.

I didn’t know EA charges tax on their digital games via Origin.

If you change your state/location to one without OST(online sales tax) you can completely avoid it.

This goes for any platform.

As always.

Dragon Age Inquisition runs terribly on my rig. Not a surprise, but wow… Wasn’t expecting quite this level of bad. All low settings with the resolution scaled back just to get a consistent game rate. No fault of the game though.

It’s basically a mix of origins and da2 on an open world. Not too far into it, but I’m enjoying it a lot so far. Terrified of the timesink it represents (reportedly 80 hour-ish campaign), but it’s definitely a step in the right direction.

Edit: Witcher 1 and 2 for a few dollars. Get it http://www.gog.com/promo/big_winter_witcher_bundle_041214

Dead On Arrival 5 will not launch will online functionality; to be patched in 3 months later.

Can’t always say it’s not a fault of the game. Optimization is on them as well. Some games can get way more out of their mid range settings on mid range computers than other games can. Developers/publishers with proper QA departments (ie NOT EA or Ubisoft) will have their games perform better on mid range hardware.

Also sucks to hear about DOA5 not having netplay at launch. They woulda had my preorder, but not now.

Hopefully the online patch will arrive when the Summer Sale does…

I hope it arrives sooner than that honestly. We need more solid, hassle free online releases for 3D fighters on steam.

This is the same kind of fuckery that this new Halo collection is going through. Only one mode has ranking…
I’m a little hurt because I was hype to play some DOA on my computer.

crimzon clover is downright amazing. i put so many hours into the game when it was first released. i want to say i 1CCed all difficulties but i can remember, it’s been a while. i will probably pick world ignition during the christmas sale, i hear it has an extra ship and such.

also, witcher 2 is so amazing, one of the most important games of the last generation. it’s scope is so absurd, not sure many games can touch it in that regard. the first boss fight with the main villain was so epic.

on another note i beat Risk of Rain on Monsoon difficulty (hardest available) with the engineer, pretty baller. double and triple jump is probably the most important power ups you can get on monsoon imo.

Speaking of the Witcher series, GoG is having a daily deal with you can get both Witcher 1 and 2 for $5.
Edit: Someone beat me to it lol. Still got it though.

At least we get this:

DOA5 really was a pretty fun game though, much better than part 4.
