you should get both, sd can last you around 20 hours and dark souls much, much longer.

isnt any other big hitters coming for a while yet anyway, doit

Yeah planning on getting both. SD was top priority, but since Durante fixed Dark Souls I'm eyeing that game.
 
Needed to wrap up Sleeping Dogs before continuing Transformers. Sleeping Dogs is defiantly one my favourite games of the year so far.

The game only rains just to show off :D

After having played BF3 pretty regularly for the 360 (since launch), for some reason BF3 on ultra doesn't look as mind-blowingly good as I thought it might.

Kudos to DICE for optimizing the engine so well for consoles (I admittedly hadn't played the 360 version -- for which I downloaded the HD textures -- in a long time before playing the PC version for the first time yesterday), or are there some ENB-like tweaks that I could use?

Everything is on ultra and the one thing I can say is that the FPS is buttery smooth. It's incredible how fluid it is. The flare from the lights seems to be much improved as well, but that's about where it ends.

This post is insane. The amount of stuff missing from the 360 version and playing the PC version for the first time, it's REALLY mind blowing. And I'm not even on DX11.

The lack of AA in the 360 version is enough for me to not play it anymore.
 
Man... this game is a looker! Not technically on par with Sleeping Dog or even Dark Souls, but it has incredible vistas at 60fps!

WAT!? Darks Souls doesnt have much of anything going on other than some decent gothic architecture and hint of realism with the look of its armor. Love the game to death but its not a looker.

DX11 doesn't provides you with any immediate graphical features apart from tessellated models, it'll provide you better performance though.

And Mind blowing? Can you list those things? better textures, higher quality post processing (although the PS3 version is close to PC than 360 in this regard) and less aggressive LOD? yes, but what else? I can't recall any effect actually "missing" in the console version compared to PC? Image quality and higher framerate is a given for any game on PC anyways, also consider most people play console games from a distance where aliasing becomes much less of an issue.

I've always thought the difference between console and PC version of Battlefield 3 was made out to be a lot more than what it actually is, the gap is much larger in case of something like Crysis 2 or Metro 2033 where it's even larger and you have features that are actually omitted in the console version when compared to the PC counterpart.

That's what he's saying. He meant that it doesn't even look as good as Dark Souls which is bad looking already.

kind of hard to find a good video comparison that doesnt shrink the video down to a point where comparisons are basically impossible; but this one does help show missing lighting and particle effects. look at explosions, smoke, embers in the air and to a lesser extent tracer fire.

Like I said, I hadn't played the 360 version of BF3 in a long time before playing it on the PC, but the difference wasn't as "in your face" as the transition from 360 to PC for Skyrim. Maybe it's because I've played Skyrim with the ENB, Witcher 2, and Max Payne 3 between playing BF3 for the 360 and then on the PC, but...I dunno.

I simply wasn't really blown away when compared to other currently available PC games.

P.S. - I ran dxdiag to see what version of DX I'm running. I think it's 11 but how can I know for sure and is there anything specific that I can change in game that DX11 offers? Are there any ENB-like tweaks to be made?
 
what a world of difference your mod and some tweaking has made - i know for sure i would have skipped this if i was forced to play how FROM wanted me to, and missed out on a simply brilliant game

take them, take all of the cookies
 
Guild Wars 2 - SMAA + Ambient Occlusion (Yes, I like the sharpening)

Man From Atlantis, you need some SSAA on those screenshots.

Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav looks nice. How's the game in general?

I've only barely started it, so I can't really tell. It seems promising I think. And it's definitely really pretty.
