Are you... talking about Agarest?

Wow. So the Steam logo is already replacing the "PC" logo (and GFWL, but who seriously thought that would stick)

It's been like this for a while.

Kind of a LTTP thread, and I've added tons of information to the OP on optimizing the game

Thanks bro. Hopefully this fixes my CTD when I bring the first big daddy down to zero health, every damn time it CTD.

I really want Cook Serve Delicious: It's a game made by a GAFfer, he pretty much lost any hope that the game would come out on Steam, GiantBomb praised the game back when it was released.

However, it's an indie game in a market that those go 5 for 1 dollar (literally), I already have almost 900 games, I'm not going to play it anytime soon and, on top of that, it's a memorization game that I'm not sure I'll enjoy it that much.

I think I'll have to wait for a bigger than 10% sale..

A little better but still far from great. I have a 2600K @ 4.6GHz, 2 overclocked 2GB 670s and 8GB DDR3-1600 yet when playing through the DLC there were still moments, particularly in the Frontier and in the busier areas of cities, where the game dipped below 30fps because reasons.

Outside of the playing on PS3 part, this was pretty much my thought process and I regret buying this thing for any amount of money. Don't make the same mistake; the game is awful.

I don't have any words of wisdom to offer beyond the obvious recommendation of high-end cooling (I myself use a Noctua NH-D14) as, sadly, and for no apparent reason, I could not get any of my own attempts at overclocking to take and eventually just used ASRock's 4.6GHz preset (which worked just fine despite one of my own attempts using the very same settings). Well, I suppose there's some advice there -- work your way up the presets if you find the manual approach daunting... and if you have any to choose from.

Edit: Here's the overclocking guide I read through as I was planning my upgrade (I hadn't overclocked a processor since the Core2Duo E6420 in 2007). I wouldn't bother adjusting your RAM speeds/timings as the performance benefit this provides is something you'd only notice in benchmarking software rather than any real-world scenarios.

Wow. So the Steam logo is already replacing the "PC" logo (and GFWL, but who seriously thought that would stick)

It seems to be used consistently for games with Steamworks implementation.

Dark Souls II, Arkham Origins, Strider, etc have all used it.

Dark Souls II usage is only on their website.

Thanks bro. Hopefully this fixes my CTD when I bring the first big daddy down to zero health, every damn time it CTD.

If you are playing jump on in and post your impressions and screenshots!

That's a pretty nice rendition of the Strider first stage theme. I never heard this one before.

I still miss the laughter

Touche. It's a pity, too, as all previous AssCreed PC ports are fine from a performance standpoint (Brotherhood and Revelations being the standouts overall). I hope Black Flag is a return to form.

Intel on GTAV exclusivity

“At least with Grand Theft Auto I don’t think it’ll be console exclusive very long. But that’s what happens when you have a brand new launch with two companies that have lots of money trying to make sure they have content.”

Silva has his opinions as to why we haven’t heard hide nor hair about the PC version of this huge franchise. “Somebody paid a lot of money to make sure that title was exclusive,” he suggested.

But the PC gaming market is pretty big too and Rockstar would be crazy not to want to cash in on the money being spent on our platform.

“The PC gaming ecosystem just continues to grow,” said Silva. “If you look at the amount of revenue that is generated by PC gaming it’s in the tens of billions of dollars each year. It’s incredibly diverse and rich and that’s it’s greatest strength.”

So yeah, what about all those reports of the declining numbers of PCs being shipped year-on-year? Businesses may be buying fewer boxes, but PC gamers are still spending on individual components and software. The PC’s in great shape, and will surely support the best version of GTA 5 of any platform, whether current or next-gen. It’s just a question of patience.

Is Dark Sector really that dire? : / Aside from that and Warframe, most of the stuff in that BundleStars bundle I either already have (S.P.A.Z. and Septerra Core, both of which I think are worth playing) or I'm not that interested in. Vaguely curious about Cannon Fodder 3, but I'm kind of 'eh' on the others.

I already own CSD on my phone and I kinda prefer it there I think. Its a good portable game

 

[ashecitism]

So, I've been thinking. In the SteamOS annoucement Valve said we should stay tuned for all the AAA game announcements for 2014 (which might mean new releases or ports of recent games). Realistically which major devs/pubs can we expect to port to Linux?

And what about Japanese? They've been slowly embracing PC gaming and Steam.

 

[jaundicejuice]

A little wary of the Metroidvania aspect of the new Strider but other than that, it looks so damned badass. Gonna be hard not to pre-order that.

SEGA apparently like the controller, so I'd count on FM, Total War and maybe Sonic ports

Infact, just checked, Football Manger 14 already supports Linux

Dark Souls 2 for SteamOS would be neat. I'd install the OS just for that game.

I wonder how metroidvania it actually is. Devs have tricked me into buying games with that line in the past.

Well, if it's Sega, there are two games by a certain Platinum Games that could fit in Steam's livingroom project too

You crazy.

I would've gone with something a little less taller had I known that fans installed into the side of the Eleven Hundred encroach a tiny bit into the NH-D14's space (a few of the top-most fins are bent as a result). On a related note, I decided long ago that I'm going to go the water cooling route with my next upgrade simply due to the decrease in case clutter such a setup would offer -- no more awkwardly manoeuvring around a monstrous HSF.

Cross-posting from the Indie Games thread.

Soundodger is getting released on Steam thanks to Adult Swim games as Soundodger+, an expanded version of the original that is free-to-play on Adult Swim. It should be available on Friday.

Also, if you're feeling generous, vote "Yes" for the developer's previous game BasketBelle.
