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

Got my new computer up and running now its time to go through my steam library and bask in the glow of max settings

I got it for that and thief. Gave all the money to charity.

Soul Suspect is all I’m interested in. I own the other games and I don’t care for Hitman and Supreme Commander.

Looking a for a dungeon crawler with controller support. Any suggestions?

Are there also fighting games not on steam worth playing? Not emulator tho.

I played Dungeon Siege 3 on ps3 so I assume it has controller support.

Hammerwatch is a top down pixelated version of gauntlet meets diablo and I used a controller for that.

Get a load of this god damn game. Already met its goal, hit a couple stretch goals, 21 days to go. As a short breakdown, it’s basically God Hand with a Dark Souls fringe. No exploration, you’re basically dumped into an arena and fight waves of enemies with a slightly more expansive movelist than you’d typically find in a beat em up. Has a stamina bar that prevents you from running and jumping away all the time to keep you fighting, but if you want to do the cool stuff you need to charge up your magic while blocking, so you need to find a middleground between going all out and building up your magic so you can continue to go all out. Also features adaptive AI that gets harder as you play it. And that’s just the base game that’s already out. The kickstarter expansion if you will adds more weapons and gear, more customization, PvP, which sounds sick, and co-op.

If you have a PS3 you can try out the original for $5, otherwise I suggest checking out some videos, because from the enemy design to attack patterns, to the art style and visual design, this game is cool as hell.

Got the bundle. Worth it for Tomb Raider and Thief. Going to install now.

The 750ti you posted? I have one, and it is pretty good if you have a lower resolution monitor and okay with a 1080p monitor. It will become outdated by 2016. My suggestion is skip it.

You currently have an AMD card, right? I would suggest against getting anything from Nvidia, since AMD leaves a shitload redundant files on their video card drivers. Aside from that, you can find better prices on AMD cards: one of their best 3GB cards is like $199.99 <-- amazing price. They also have their answer to the 970 coming out later this year.

OOoooooh, that’s right in my price range. You’re a better fat fuck than Santa, Rick.

Oh man Shadowrun Hong Kong got over 1000% funded, fuck yeah. Even pledged some money myself

Pillars of eternity and Shadowrun Hong Kong out this year, good time for rpgs

Guess I was little bit wrong about the price tag http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16814150678

Dunno if $250 is not in your price range, but believe me when I say it is worth the extra money. You’re making a long term investment that will last beyond this generation. If you’re patient, you can find deals on this card for $189.99 <-- won’t happen until tax season or summer doe…

I’m definitely in no rush right now. MGS5 is what I want it for and even then I think my card can handle it for now. But you’re right, I’m looking to prolong my PC since I JUST invested money into putting more RAM into my shit. Damn LGA1156s being dead also make it hard to find better processors. My mobo is solid as fuck so I"m not looking to replace it, either.

I don’t pay much attention so hopefully you’re still around in the summer when I need help again.

Do you have a decent power supply? You will want to make sure the wattage / quality can handle a new gpu, or you’ll have to tack another expense. But I agree, the 280x is a great card at its price point.

I personally bought a gold rated 650w corsair psu months before I knew I’d be buying a gpu just so that I could split up the cost a little bit.

I think my current PSU is 650 watt but I have to check. Surely no less than 600w, either way.

Just checked. It’s 600. It’s been great for me for 5 years, though. Never had a problem pumping juice in my shit.

Hey, a minor sidestep of a topic, but for those using an SSD, what brand are you people using/prefer/is most reliable?

Cause I had a PNY XLR8… that fucking DIED on me like a little bitch. Yeah, I had the thing RMA’d, but I’m already thinking of just saying ‘fuck it’ and finding another one. Keep hearing all the Samsung ones are top-notch.

Samsungs as far as I can tell are the ones everyone loves.

I owed a Kingston 128GB that I sold to a friend that performed wonderfully. Pretty decent speed and shit. Right now I use a Crucial 256GB that’s not as fast as the Kingston but still no slouch. I had no problem with either brands.

Is H1Z1 worth it at the moment? I am a big fan of DayZ/Rust/The Forest/Don’t Starve.

If you like shit games like those, guess you’ll shit like H1Shit1!
Shitty shit shit!!

Yeah, I might just look into a Samsung. Specifically Samsung 850 Pro 256GB.
