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

so, from looking over the 70+ steam games in my library…and I mean just briefly looking over their min specs regarding ram…

  • these are the games I can play on my tablet.
    Ys origin
    Ys oath of felghana
    Dust an elysian tail
    the bridge
    Bloodrayne betrayal
    Fairy Bloom Freesia
    Vanguard Princess
    Closure
    Dustforce
    Elsworld
    jet set radio
    Portal
    blade kitten
    Chantelise
    Kung Fu strike
    Papo y Yo
    Psychonauts
    Sideway
    Velvet Assassin
    Mirrors Edge

keep in mind there’s other important specs that affect if the game can be played or not on this tablet. like velvet assassin only plays using a very very old PhysX legacy driver which needs to be downloaded.

uh, oh and i’d mention Rusty Hearts since it has 1gb ram minimum…then I realized, this mmorpg …its being shut down.
I never got to play it other than for a few days tops.
I kept grinding through other games leaving it for later.
now I cant ever play it!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

other games like Tomb Raider underworld has 1gb ram minimum if its xp but 2gb ram if vista.
so i’ll just count those few games out.

my sandisk sd card is 64gb which the tablet accepts…since it officially takes up to 32gb but still recognizes 64gb cards…but my sandisk class 10 I’m using got fried when I used it long ago on my phone where it got permanently damaged so I cant install on sd card yet. not till I get a new one. says read only, no write. :-/

the windows store has a STEAM TILES app that lets you connect to your steam account and add each game as a tile to your tablets homescreen tiles. Which is pretty cool. can launch game from there.

UltraSF4 has 1gb minimum which is crazy. but I’d never dare play that on tablet form

lastly, I cant believe Transistor needs at least 4gb ram.
O.o

the guy is named Risitas.
he tells him when he was young he had a job as an errand boy working for a restaurant on a beach in spain.
the boss of the place tells him to clean 20 huge bread trays by tying them to something on the beach and letting the salt water dissolve the grease on them.
he didn’t. well not exactly.
he put the 20 trays in between 3 or four huge rocks or something like that but didn’t tie them down. but still marked their location with sticks to pick them up next morning.
when he woke up he found that the tide had come in and took all 20 bread trays away and into the sea with the tide.
not a single tray was left and the restaurant needed them to serve bread and whatever type food.
the boss billed him for the loss to the restaurant.
he ended up owing more than he got ever payed for working there and left in debt.

Yeah, Nvidia had been droppin the ball lately. Most notable failure was the GTX 750ti.

:expressionless: you mouth be writing checks your body cant cash mr ross, your on notice dawg.

Still better performance than a PS4 on third-party games paired with a half-decent processor.

Pretty decent for a $150 budget card.

If you look at the 750ti’s specification page on the Geforce website, you’ll see that it has the same data transfer rate that the Xbone is pushing; the_jump_is_not_negligible.gif. The only advantage a 750ti has over the Bone and Quats GPU is higher core clock rates; otherwise it’s identical to current gen. You don’t even need these 8 cores to prevent bottlenecking with the card. Any CPU in the 4XXX line of FX processors (plus the Intel equivalent) can get full power out of it.

I have been using the card since Spring of 2014. It is more than perfect for getting games to run @ 60+ FPS on my dinky 1440x900 monitor. Even better if you’re on dat CRT life. But it will not stand the tests of time; I don’t even know if it will be compatible with DX12!

Darkest Dungeon is looking perty fuckin gud.

Downside… it’s FUCKIN’ EARLY ACCESS!!
Backers of the game got it early and are currently playing it, however once it’s released on Feb 3rd, it’ll remain on EA. But it’s been said the game will come out this year, so who knows.

One of the indie games I played at PAX East last year. Really came away impressed with it, I’ve been waiting for a crack at it for a while now.

Thought I was nice keepin my party healthy until the boss, but my torch ran out, affecting both parties accuracy and crit chances I think? IDK shit changed and the boss started wailing on my dudes, narrowly escaped when my Crusader passed a resolve check and went beast mode to clutch it out. It’s RNG and that’s not fun sometimes, but sometimes it is. And it looks like it’s working in really engaging ways here.

get this.
so I found a virtual gamepad called Gestureworks that works for steam games running in fullscreen mode. which is exactly what I want.
problem is it negates unlocking any steam achievements for the game. essentially making it useless.

then I discovered you could stream a game from your laptop/desktop to your tablet.
ie, I don’t need to download the game onto the tablet, just install on the laptop.
cool.
but again, cant use the virtual gamepad cuz when it streams either the gamepad shuts off or the game shuts off.
ugh.
frustrating.

back to windowed mode for me.
:-/

I might have to grab that Darkest Dungeon, with my next pay.

Star wars. Beat the average includes battlefront 2. More than $12 for force unleashed 1+2 plus everything else.

Man… I can’t help it… I need Darkest Dungeon. It looks so fun.
Getting it.

I’m hearing a rumor that the game may be fully out by Summer, which is quiet soon.
2015 is looking like another good year for gaming… ONE I’LL MISS OUT ON!!
sobs

Man, shit snowballs out of hand so quickly in Darkest Dungeon. It’s still basically a roguelike, so duh? But damnnnnn…

isn’t darkest dungeon out already? it looks like it was released yesterday

Early access is out now, 3 out of 5 areas unlocked, 10 out of I forget how many classes available.

Im grabbing darkest dungeon this weekend.

Anybody played Grey Goo, and able to lemme know how it is?

I’ve seen it around, it looks like a poor man’s Starcraft. If I had the funds, I would’ve already bought it.

Square Enix weekend on Steam. Bought Sleeping Dogs: Def Edition for 75% off

So not quite that poor a man’s starcraft?

Divinity is 40% off as well… Super tempting
