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

It’s rather fun. Way less Mirror’s Edge than I thought it would be, but the climbing addition to the Dead Island aspects of the game (I say aspects, but really, I mean that the entire way that Dead Island plays has been transplanted into a dense urban setting) really puts the game together. Co-op is cool as well. It’s the drop in/drop out kind, and you can set the game so that you either have randoms drop in, have friends drop in, or play alone. Haven’t put any time into the Be the Zombie mode, but I’ll get around to it eventually.

^ DX12. Looks like CPU optimization is better than ever before and will benefit everybody.

^ Dat 8GB memory. This card gets really appealing when high VRAM games come into play. I wonder if NVidia is going to do any higher memory variants of the 970/980? Especially with new AMD cards coming soon, it makes me wonder what NVidia is going to do.

Does anyone here have experience with recovering data off a damaged HDD that turned everything into RAW file formats?

I am trying to save money by avoiding retrieval specialists, or purchasing some bogus program. Help would be appreciated.

I’ve seen some gameplay of it, I’m told it fixes a lot of issues that Dead Island suffered from, but not all of them. Looks cute though if you have a party of people to play with. Looks boring for a solo run.

I just went over this in class this past week. Manually you would have to open the file in the hex editor and find the file signatures and all that good shit ( pain in the fucking ass). Or you would have to download a file carver program.

Did it change the partition type to the RAW file system, or do the files literally have a .RAW extension?

Sunless Sea looks like my jam. Anyone play it or any other games by Failbetter Games?

Tomb Raider is $6 on Steam. Is it worth it?

Oh shit FFVIII, FFIV, and FFIII are on sale, too, ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

in progress?

I was legit finishing up my whiskey to head to the bar near me and now I’m debating whether or not to use that money for Steam instead.

The steam wallet memes are timeless

Is there any decent free to play fps game out there besides TF2? In a random mood to shoot something with an AK-47

Loadout looks like a decent third person shooter.

Gah dammit Steam! Why you make me buy all these Square games!

I got FFVIII, Tomb Raider(Reboot), Underworld, and Hitman: Contracts. Still debating on FFIV and Just Cause collection.

I uhh… I also got XIII grabs MiB Memory Eraser >_>

The hell… you don’t have CSGO?

I’d recommend that Tom Clancy f2p shooter. It has solid mechanics and rather fun gameplay. I’ve never played a Tom Clancy game, though, so take that opinion with a grain of salt.

I can say that Just Cause 2 in particular is amazing if you like sandbox games. The sheer amount of destruction and creativity you can cause in that game is insane. If you’re willing to mod the game and give yourself even more powerful tools to mess around with, that adds to the fun.

I’ll most likely get it when it’s on sale =P

For free FPS games try out Arkham City Imposters. I played it a while back, it’s pretty fun and was way better than I thought it was going to be.

Battlefield: Hardline beta is still going up until tomorrow sometime.

I hit 0 dollars recently cause of school costs and Steam has this sale?
Wow Steam, learn to work your schedule around mine, jerk!!!
