And as you said, it's great for websites, word/excel and of course vertical gaming

Wow, that is amazing! I would like to play Ikaruga - or any other shoot'em upon or pinball simulator for that matter - a screen like that.

What is a sub?

Someone who likes to be dominated.

International Snooker looks cool.

Plays awful though, still uses a 'select power % and click to shoot' system, which should have been killed off 10 years ago in favour of 'pull back push forward on the mouse' system.

edit: GEARCRACK Arena keys are up on desura/collection (client) from indieroyale debut 12 bundle. Crack my head with a gear if old

Collection won't give me a key, tells me to get the key through the Indie Royale bundle I bought (which I can't do).

[Snakethesniper]

It's probably a noob question, but is SweetFX VAC bannable? I've read topics on steam community and there are people who say yes and people who say no, so I'm confused

 

[JakeD]

Is there any reason to upgrade from fraps to afterburner if all I'm using it for is to check FPS?

Hi, all. First post in Steam thread, lurked for a while though. Brought a little something to show my appreciation.

Was supposed to be a 15min raffle but the girlfriend asked me to make her a cuppa before I could post it, so I guess it's a "first come first served" job now... sorry.

RE6 shooting feels kinda loose compared to the previous games..

also, Jake's campaign is the worst.. right? cause geez it's like 2 minutes of actual shooting gameplay then run section then QTE fest then cutscene

just let me walk around with a gun like a resident evil game

The shooting is very tight, it's just a much faster paced game given all the mobility options and subsequently it feels very different. Combat is paced around being able to throw yourself around. The enemies also don't stop before coming at you anymore, everyone is quite fast.

And not really, it has no more qtes than any of the other games. First chapter is the heaviest on them though. Also depends based on the character you play, Sherry has barely any but some of Jake's alternate paths require you to do a brief qte to vault a pole for example. Jake's campaign is really weird in general, easily the most varied in the game for better and worse. Chapter 3 is really neat.

Thanks.

That's not Chandler Bing

Hmm. You're obviously right as to were the joke comes from but when someone talk about a third nipple I personally think about Scaramanga. Guess I'm truly old :-/

Oh and I'm maybe late to the party but since it's desk time, here's my monstrosity. Not sure you could kill it with fire, or I would have tried.

- I'm in dire need of a NAS.
- We had to scan some official documents while moving house, hence the second printer.
- I'm really organized when it comes to cable management.

This whole thing is my shame, but as soon as I clean it up... some stuff magically appear on it out of nowhere. My desk is a horn of plenty. Of shit.

Well what do you know? (not to you)

Ubisoft Working On PC Patch For Watch Dogs, Offers Advice To Boost Performance

If you’re one of many disheartened gamers playing Watch Dogs on PC, there’s hope on the horizon. Ubisoft‘s Sebastien Viard, the game’s Graphics Technical Director, took to Twitter this morning to address concerns, update players on an impending patch, and dish out some technical advice for getting the best performance.

Regardless of your preferred graphics card maker, Watch Dogs isn’t living up to performance expectations on PC. Benchmarks across the internet have varied dramatically, and my sources at Nvidia suggest that even they can’t get consistent back-to-back benchmark runs. Nvidia explains that Ubisoft’s Disrupt engine is quite complex, and that the way the game streams in data may be a potential bottleneck. If you think about the open world variables and the metadata that must be randomly assigned to every individual roaming the streets of Chicago (for the purpose of Aiden’s profiler tool), it stands to reason that’s at least one factor impacting performance.

Nvidia says that AMD was free to approach Ubisoft at any time to suggest tweaks and improvements to the game for their hardware.

Ubisoft’s Sebastien Viard explains that “Making an open world run on [next-generation] and [current-generation] consoles plus supporting PC is an incredibly complex task.” He goes on to to say that Watch Dogs can use 3GB or more of RAM on next-gen consoles for graphics, and that “your PC GPU needs enough Video Ram for Ultra options due to the lack of unified memory.” Indeed, Video RAM requirements are hefty on PC, especially when cranking up the resolution beyond 1080p. (This is why I knew Sony was on the right track using unified GDDR5 memory for the PlayStation 4.)

While recent driver updates from Nvidia and AMD should improve general performance, Viard promises that their PC programmers are “currently working on a patch to improve your experience,” and thanks both his team and users for diligently reporting performance issues. The most perplexing thing about the PC version of Watch Dogs is how divided user experiences actually are. I saw at most 30% scaling when using Nvidia GPUs in SLI, while others with near-identical hardware see upwards of 75%. Some users see stutter and artifacting while others report no problems using even older generations of AMD and Nvidia cards.

In the meantime, Ubisoft’s Viard offers some technical advice for boosting performance, especially if you’re experiencing stuttering or drastic framerate drops: Reduce your texture quality, level of Anti-Aliasing (FXAA is the least taxing in my experience), and/or resolution. Unless you have 4GB of Video RAM, playing at 1440p or 4K will be problematic, at least for now.

Watch Dogs is an important release for Ubisoft, and it’s reassuring to see their team working on improving the game for PC users. Nvidia is also continuing to consult with Ubisoft engineers on optimizing drivers for the game.

I did. Don't let the MMORPG label scares you, It's a really awesome RPG.

That's the new issue btw, which will open up a new area----Tokyo. Issues works like a new dlc contents. If you buy the Massive Edition on steam, you'll get Issue 1-7.

Did they ever follow through on the idea of an evolving world with NPC that can die and storylines evolve with each updates ? To this day, my OCD is still shell shocked.

I'm not showing the whole desk. I only cleaned it because I bought the monitor recently, before there were unused condoms and plush ducks strewn about.

Ok, who is this now ? The people need to know.

Yup, not really following music these days. Except for 70's songs to fuel a project that I won't write. On a side note, a google image search about her was like the most hardcore rollercoaster ride ever.

I fell through the world once during a mission. I had a checkpoint from like 10 seconds prior that I just reloaded.

It’s time for rehabilitation! You’re a recovering amputee, fitted with the latest modern technology. The KS-001 Robo-arm is capable of delicate tasks – if used efficiently.

What better challenge for the son of an Earl than to make tea for his father?

Good luck son.

You'll need it.

Yesterday I watched the teaser, from what I see it seems a sort of Surgeon simulator game - I have played neither of them, I am just basing on the gameplay I can figure out from the trailers.

You know. Where I live in the UK, people drink coffee more than tea these days. The stereotype has been broken.

Wouldn't know, never tried it. It was just too good to pass up an occasion to reminisce about some fun SteamGAF moments ^_^

Now that I think about it, wouldn't it be rad if Croteam took the dev duty on Sexy Beach but made it an episodic series consisting of 54 parts each a +1 to our library ? I think SteamGAF would implode. We would need medical assistance ASAP.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Say have you played Rayman Legends?

Got it for free on Wii U (well, on a gift card that I won't be able to use in a month or two and needed to get rid of). Will try it at some point. Wouldn't buy it on PC for obvious reasons. I do own Rayman Origins on both PC and 360 though. I'm also done with AC at this point and it doesn't look like I'm going to play Watch_Dogs, so I think I'm pretty much checked out of Ubisoft in general.

It's unlikely to see a higher discount. In fact, larger publishers tend to discount by less on Steam since the sheer size of its userbase means they get away with it.

I'm waiting for 75% and I would bet it gets that low during summer sale. But then I played it already on PS3 so I'm in no hurry.
