Quick question, how well is FFXIII optimized for PC? Am I better off getting a PS3 version of it, or does it run well without the bells and whistles of modding the graphics?

I'm just looking for the cheap, and close to console version option. My TV is 720p anyways, not really looking for insane floor tesselation or whatever.

It has issues running at 60fps.

If you're not even at 1080p, then there's really not gonna be much difference. Loading times are probably a lot quicker on PC, which might make it a better choice?

 

[GoodMorningPluto]

How is FF8 PC version compared to the PSX release? Any reason to pick the PC version over PSX?

You can mod HD backgrounds and hard difficulty into it.

 

[Heigic]

So WWE... Haven't played since the PS2 kinda tempted are they any good these days?

 

[Trouble]

Oh good, maybe you can answer my concerns about the game. I really wanted to like SE, and I was thrilled when they had a free weekend for it a while back, but the more I tried the survival aspect of the game, the less I was enjoying myself. I tried the scenario where they start you on a platform attached to an asteroid with some very basic stuff at your disposal, and for the life of me I couldn't get anywhere near enough resources to build anything. All of the various components that I needed required so many resources, and I could hold such a small amount, that it was taking forever to mine things. Not to mention the fact that I kept burning through my meager supply of fuel and couldn't find any more. I would jet over to other asteroids, but they didn't seem to have much more either. I actually never made a single ship before I ended up getting frustrated and uninstalling the game.

The game's advertised as having a survival mode where you have to scrounge for all your parts, and that's really what I would like to play. Is it at all possible to play SE in this way?

It is and there are tons of "survival ready" ship blueprints in the Steam workshop.

They've added an oxygen mechanic as well, so now you have to manage two critical resources.

The main thing for survival is you need to pick one of the infinite world types, otherwise you'll exhaust the few local asteroids and won't be able to progress.

My typical survival technique is to hand mine enough resources to build a small mining ship or drone, then mine and build successively larger ships. I like to design ships in creative and then test their viability in survival. Right now I'm working on a large ship that is designed to be built in stages and viable as a primary base of operations from the beginning.

Guys :

GRAV or Life is Feudal ?

I really like minecraft and just like wandering around mindlessly and craft here and there. Explore new places caves etc. Do GRAV give these ?

Careful with Life is Feudal. From what I heard, the development is basically stuck for a year already.

 

[Ultrabum]

Man, I thought today was gonna be the day for Dark souls 2 sale. Come on steam, don't do this to me!

 

[Kid Ska]

No, you can turn it off if you want.

Go to Edit Profile -> My Privacy Settings and disable it.

Thank you!

 

[AlexBasch]

The game has a weird framerate issue where it'll randomly drop frames, even in not so demanding areas. Still, if you have decent computer, you can make it look waaay better than the ps3 version, while running at the same speed (or even at 60fps in most areas). So, PC easily wins.

You're still better off getting the PC version, but Square really botched the port.

Is there a PS3 movie mod yet?

It has issues running at 60fps.

If you're not even at 1080p, then there's really not gonna be much difference. Loading times are probably a lot quicker on PC, which might make it a better choice?

I'm good playing the game at less than 60FPS, most of my games are in locked 30 and it's enough for me.

However, the fps drop is something that would bother me, but unless it happens too often, the price is good. What do you mean with "PS3 movie mod" though?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Read the manual, it has a tutorial inside.

Ask me in this thread whatever you want.

yessir

You'll have to lock the FPS to 30 with a third-party program, like RTSS. Otherwise, the drops will drive you absolutely crazy.

And, AFAIK, the PC version has the lower-quality Xbox 360 videos, instead of the higher-definition video of the PS4 (based Blu-Ray non-compression).

 

[Clearos]

Grav looks pretty damn good. For $10, I will take the dive.

..Still yet to purchase a game on my wish list damn you random interesting games.

 

[Sch1sm]

Man, I thought today was gonna be the day for Dark souls 2 sale. Come on steam, don't do this to me!

Shh. Remember. Patience. There's many days left.




So if I were to get into Total War, outside of Attila because my wallet isn't that great and I'd like to buy some other things later on, which one would you all suggest? Friend's have pointed at Shogun 2, but there's two of 'em. The only game I've played of the genre lately is Civ V.

 

[sleepykyo]

How's Contagion as a single player game?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Age of Wonders III hasn't gone on flash or daily yet right

Everyone really should bookmark this site, though. It'll give you as much price history for a game as you want.

 

[Benedict]

I can play Nep 2 without 1 right?

 

[Hagi]

Is the street fighter IV sale for real? I was expecting it to be sub £10 and they have only knocked like £2 off what it was when the sale started. D:

Guess the rest of my budget is going towards a Final Fantasy game.

 

[inm8num2]

Hopefully the Monkey Island 1+2 pack goes on a daily/flash/monster sale at some point. It's been 75% off ($3.75) before - that would be a great deal for both games together.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Still waiting for a Dark Souls 2 deal. It will happen. IT WILL.

Yeah, I decided against picking it up. I already have Super Street Fighter on console, I figured maybe get ultra on PC, but the price, especially with the Canadian dollar. It's not like it's got airtight netcode. The lag is too real.

 

[blahness]

Still waiting for a Dark Souls 2 deal. It will happen. IT WILL.

Yes! holding out on the base game non-DLC upgrade to get a deeper discount.

 

[Tenebrous]

Still waiting for a Dark Souls 2 deal. It will happen. IT WILL.

I've almost given up on multiple occasions, but damnit, I shall not let Valve win. It will go 66% or better!

 

[shandy706]

Completely forgot about the Steam sale with E3 going on..doh.

I'm back, need to see what's up for today!

Yup SF daily is pretty lame. So-so discounts on the games/upgrades, and none of the Ultra DLC on sale.

 

[Etria]

Wow, I got into a room where 3000 levels have passed already in 4 minutes. What is this madness? :O

 

[Uthred]

Any thoughts on Mordheim? Looks interesting and I do enjoy the Warhammer setting

 

[shandy706]

Ummm.....not sure if I found a glitch or what...

If I'm dead and use the 100k treasure perk, it gives me $1 Million coins.

 

[Anoregon]

So are we all buying this $0.50 nazi/dinosaurs game or what?

 

[LuffyZoro]

So are we all buying this $0.50 nazi/dinosaurs game or what?

It's not even worth that much.

 

[Danielsan]

Thinking about picking up Tallos as one of my last sale games.

 

[ghst]

It's not even worth that much.

fucking is.

Thanks, will wait for it then.

My only gripe is that it doesn't cover my country's pricing lol

 

[Artofwar420]

Wow, I got into a room where 3000 levels have passed already in 4 minutes. What is this madness? :O

It's crazy, same here. I can't even hit the regular monsters for more than a second.

 

[Anoregon]

I've actually never played either Icewind Dale game despite Baldur's Gate 2 being one of my favorites games of all time, so I will definitely be grabbing the enhanced for 7 bucks.

 

[irriadin]

How good is Republique Remastered? I like stealth based games and settings like that.

 

[Durante]

By far the most expensive day so far for me, bought both Lords of Xulima and Talos Principle.

Probably both will be on sale even cheaper before I get to them, but both seem like games that deserve support.

 

[Muffin Awesome]

Just re bought ff4/AY, 7, and 8...

At least they were 50% off.

All I have left are Ruse and TitS... Come on TitS, need something better than 30% off.

That is the greediest and creepiest sentence I may have ever written.

 

[holygeesus]

Same here. First £20 spend today. Talos seems to be a 20 hour campaign though, from what I've read, so it seems fair enough to me.

 

[Bytes]

Breaking the bank today my expensive purchase of The Fall for $1.99 and nothing else.

 

[hypernima]

Since the Final Fantasies are a Daily Deal this is the lowest they'll get right?

 

[scoobidoo112]

What an amazing deal!

 

[Matty8787]

So I have requested a refund for Dishonored upon hearing about the definitive edition.

 

[Durante]

Since the Final Fantasies are a Daily Deal this is the lowest they'll get right?

Yes.

 

[Corpekata]

How good is Republique Remastered? I like stealth based games and settings like that.

It's a cool and unique game. It still has mobile origins though, and still has episodes coming so it isn't totally finished.

 

[Salsa]

the decision between this and doorkickers was hard

 

[hypernima]

Yes.

Ah well, This is as good as it gets.

 

[Shepard]

I'm still waiting for the old Ubisoft games to get a deeper discount (Prince of persia, Rayman Origins, Beyong G&E, Tom Clancys...), but I doubt it is going to happen :\

 

[Branson]

Thoughts on The Crew? Will be playing it with a wheel.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Spelunky ($3) and Distance ($10) for $13 combined is a good way to spend some money.

 

[dreamstation]

Only 66% off Baldur's Gate 2. I was hoping for 75%, now I'm torn.

I want to grab both Baldur's Gate I and II as well as Icewind Dale but as you said, was hoping for 75% off across the board. Decisions decisions :/
