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

I rented ME2 because at the time the entire gaming community was shitting in their pants over the game.

“This is it?” I thought to myself while playing. The same thoughts I had when I played the janky-ass Bethesda games.

Cleanse your soul with some Alpha Protocol.

Alpha Protocol? More like Alpha BORING-call.

AM I RITE, GUYZ?

I never played Alpha Protocal but I was under the impression that it’s fairly janky too.

Damnit…you guys are making me look at my Steam backlog with regrets.

Don’t talk bout my baby like that.

Turn away Liara don’t look at him.

It IS an Obsidian game, so there’s going to be jank, but it’s a very underrated game, and one of my favorites from last gen. Basically it did everything RPG-wise that Mass Effect utterly failed at.

I have Mass Effect 1 & 2 on my Steam backlog. No regrets.

Mass effect 2 as a standalone experience is pretty good , but i think it’s a “pointless” game to play.
Those who know what i mean , they know.

Shit isn’t pointless once you hit the Shadow Broker DLC!!!

But let’s be honest, Mass Effect 3 was the real pointless game plot-wise.
I love how all the questions in 2 never got answered in 3. And the part 3’s DLC to explain the plot further only conflicted with the story for part 1, creating massive plot holes.

I dunno, shit was a mess.

ME3 was just a poorly written mess. Apparently the original story they had for it was fucking gdlk and for some reason they changed everything to the shit we got.

that’s what happens when EA gets involved. Everything they touch will turn into diarrhea.

BioWare sucked ass before and after they got bought out by EA.

Except for the D&D games.

New Witcher patch is godlike. So many good changes and more graphic options. I now have hairworks on (low), foliage distance high, shadow quality high, rest ultra. Locked in at 60 FPS.

56 hours in, still living the game.

I don’t like those style of isometric RPG’s. Old Baldur’s Gate, Obsidian’s Pillars of Eternity, Planescape Torment, etc. etc.

I don’t like that movement is in real time but everything else isn’t. The pacing is too slow for me and the gameplay in this genre is boring. Games like Diablo and Path of Exile are a 1000000000000000X more fun and interesting to play imo.

We tell this joke among our friends all the time. We get a good laugh.
Glad to read this joke on SRK as well :smiley:

Alpha Protocol has the best dialogue system I’ve seen, as well as the best ally trust/distrust mechanic I’ve seen. It also has a fun plot with crazy characters, as well as lots of variables that can influence missions and endgame situations.

The gunplay is so clunky though. Play it on Easy and breeze through it, or at least find creative ways to be broken.

…also play Witcher 3 guys. Whoever has access to it, play it. Bestest.

Windows 10 out next week. Excited to see gaming performance increases, even if it’s small.

… What?

He’s referring to DirectX 12.
Supposed to have some crazy optimization capabilities for most video cards and AMD processors.
