It doesn't matter how optimized it was, it was better than any other version of the game. It was the definitive release.It's also the only version of the game that will improve with time.
I had to lock the framerate at 30 with afterburner when using max settings, but AC3 is definitely best on PC for me. Left uncapped, the framerate fluctuates between 35-60 with much more microstuttering.
3570k @ 4.6
7970 GHz 1165/1200
The lowest settings look better than the console versions; your PC should have been a-ok.

You are not going to get this kind of image quality on the PS4 or the bone and will run better than any console version at the same time. The PS4 version of Black Flag doesn't even seem to have a good AA solution.

I'm actually working my way through the game currently. When does the first boss fight pop-up? I just finished the level Revolution. I have shot like 10 mutants and punched a bunch of dudes non-lethally in the face in 5 hours of playing the game lol.
The first hours into the game there are no bosses and then there's suddenly two right after each other. They're both bad for different reasons.
They did nail the atmosphere even more so than 2033 did.
New York was a slideshow on the PS3 version. Which made no sense considering it was smaller than Boston, not that that ran great either. I have a hard time believing it's worse on PC.
At least the consoles didn't have microstuttering. I will say though I was very plesantly suprised how great AC4's IQ was on PS3, and it runs much better than AC3.

I was wondering when microstuttering would get dropped.
Now name check jutter.

So I deleted a bunch of games that I'm never going to play again and my Steam folder is still over a terabyte. :\
Also, AC3 runs fine on PC now. It just took nvidia 6 months to release a driver that fixed it.

listen to the mad man
I gotta be honest. I play a lot of games (I normally finish an average of 1 a week or so throughout the whole year). My whole steamapps folder is 120GB and an enormous amount of that is aspirational stuff I'm never going to get back to

Yeah, they're aware of that and a bunch of other problems. It looks like they've got some of it fixed but not Croc specifically yet: http://community.wbgames.com/t5/Support/Updates-on-support/m-p/8047
The only thing I heard about Call Of Duty: Dogs PC is that it's supposed to have better textures than Xbone and PS4.
And you can run it in FullHD of course.
Define "fine". I haven't touched it in 9 months, and as of January the FPS would heavily fluxiate between 60 and 33 and microstutter all the time.

thanks. damn that's so bad! how do you release a game before even the first friggin boss works properly
. simply screams rushed release. oh well, we did get past it, probably only bc the game was on easy so i could whip through the boss really quick. i had a bunch of 'wtf pc gaming' moments today honestly; couldn't get costume quest open for a minute, WRC crashed on me, one of the worms games crashed on me. some annoying shit. but oh well it's worth it in the end I played through the DLC a couple of months ago. Performance in cities is definitely better but the Frontier in the winter is still awful -- snow deformation is achieved via tessellation and it seems no attention has been paid to optimising this.

I had the same experience, then I saw the patch notes in new nvidia drivers, ran the game and ran around a problematic area for me and it was smooth sailing.
Didn't check it out extensively though.
In Feb nvidia released 314.07 which improved performance ~30%, so that's probably the one I'm thinking of.

I think even my Linux steamapps folder is over 100 GB.
Really liking Defender's Quest. The UI is kind of bleh, but aside from that the game is pretty fun. There's a good deal of freedom in positioning/deploying/buying/upgrading units. And being able to speed up and slow down a battle to your liking is a wonderful idea. Not to mention, the soundtrack is rather nice.

So Valdis Story has skill trees, but also weapon upgrade trees.
I'm taking my sword down the critical/assassin path, apparently.
In addition, the game seems to be pretty open where I am right now, I do have a goal but I'm kind of running around through random other areas finding new mobility upgrades and keys as I please.
Armors are kind of neat too. First of all, they all seem to be behind platform/dash challenges. And they're not simply incremental upgrades, each armor set has unique stats and/or abilities. So new armor is not "better" armor, just different. You can upgrade each armor with materials that enemies drop for incremental upgrades too.
For being so inspired by Igarashi Castlevanias, Endless Fluff has gone to great lengths to take almost every little aspect of the standard formula and put interesting, unique spins to them.
Boss battles remain a highlight. although I could use some new combat or combo abilities to freshen up a bit.
And with the armor I just found, I now have triple skill cancelling/dashing.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Just got back from Ender's Game (awesome).
I wanted to give everyone a heads up - I'm going to start streaming my Extra Life marathon on behalf of Enhanced Steam users on my Twitch channel in about 11 hours.
See you there!

Remember me...
Such a beautiful game with amazing music and a great story with a worthwhile message... but the combat... dear lord, the combat... it drags the game down considerably. By the end, I was just sighing when I walked into a section of the map that gave off an arena vibe.

Even if it was good you would still hate it.
Absolutely cannot wait for the Black Mesa team to release the final Xen levels this coming year. The soundtrack is pure fun, even if Questionable Ethics 1 sounds a little too similar to Jesper Kyd's "Rooftops of Venice"...

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
So uhh... have people tried running Rose and Ragnarok to see if they run and which servers they use?
I'm kinda curious. <_<
I guess it's more to do with how you see it. Personally I think the advantages of PS+ are lost when you play in PC.
In a nutshell, this. The fact that they're also slowly making it insidious but people are "fine" with it is telling.
Yeah but then it always changes, and somehow it feels like it's just a front for something sinister.
PS+ "works" in PS3 due to being an additional stuff. With it being mandatory for online in PS4, we'll see who're the fanatics and who're sensible.

It is my first time. I had two keys for Alan Wake sitting here that I'm not sure if were ever redeemed. The person to who it was supposed to be wasn't very interested on the games.

a bit late, but thanks @Dr. Dogg for Red Alert Uprising.
Deus Ex Collection: Deus Ex, Invisible War, Human Revolution Director's cut for 7.48/$
(The older ones aren't Steam it seems, but still a great deal for the Director's cut if you don't have the vanilla version)

Around 2500 people preordered the game via Kickstarter, so they would have been sent keys on day one...but given that "day one" was less than 72 hours ago*, they may not have gotten around to actually playing much yet. (I fall into that category myself.)
* the Steam version, anyway; Desura's had it since September 8th

I saw that and was tempted.
But then I remembered how often Square Enix drops prices down.

Lol. Couldn't have said it better.
Final Fantasy VII Steam key is 4.79 USD on Amazon. Almost as good as the 3 dollar key on Ubisoft.
I think I'll wait on a Steam sale come winter though.
