Sorry to be a pain but does anyone know off the top of their head's a few games on Steam with decent built in beachmark options?

I've got my numbers head on so a bit dippier than normal but after going through what I've got installed I can vaguely recall these:-

Batman AA & AC
Devil May Cry 4
Mafia II
Resident Evil 5
Sleeping Dogs
SF4 AE

Any others you fine folks recommend?

Tomb Raider 2013 and Bioshock Infinite come to mind.

As the guy above mentioned, Tomb Raider. Just Cause 2 has one as well.

 

[derExperte]

1) You haven't dealt with the enemies that crawl on the ceiling yet

Protip: Shotgun

Protip: Shotgun

Grecotch all the way.

 

[fantomena]

Of course, when I go away from my PC, someone makes a giveaway with one ore more of the games I need from Bundle Stars bundle. Dammit!

 

[Dambrosi]

I don't have that option. Like I said, Steam is showing the game as uninstalled.

Windows is saying i've lost 14GB (ie the game was installed) but I cannot find any files relating to the game anywhere on my PC.

Restart Steam, and if MW3 still shows as not installed, restart your PC and check again.

Cheers guys, these are perfect (Inf especially seeing as it spits out a .csv file).

Tried both. Steam still showing MW3 as uninstalled and after some pretty exhaustive searching, the game also appears to not exist anywhere on my hard drive.

I...think I've just permanently lost some HD space.

Sweet, hope it allows vertical orientation. I need a reason for paying off my swivelly desk arm for my monitor.

Do an exhaustive windows search on files created within the hour of installation.

As a big battle isle fan, Battle Worlds: Kronos looks pretty awesome. Anybody know much about it?

Buying tables through an in-game store? Don't know how I feel about that.

I did, using datemodified:

Nothing there.

edit: So I figured it out! Somehow, for some reason, everything was dumped into the recyle bin. This did not show up in a search, at all. I simply checked it and BOOM.

I know a lot of Enhanced Steam users keep emailing me about the DRM warning.

[toddhunter]

Yeah I just tweeted that to the dev myself Hopefully it becomes a "thing" that they just leave that field blank.

As it is worded it is confusing as hell anyway given it implies an activation limit without DRM.

 

[Grief.exe]

Well they also have the exfgls turned on which is usually something they use to prevent family sharing due to DRM.

There are just a lot of suspicious things in the registry right n ow.

yeah, it's pretty dumb...
and no steam sales for the tables

but i waited years for this finally hitting the PC, so it's better than nothing

(and now the waiting for the updated graphics that will be coming with the PS4 version begins)

WAAAAHOOOO!

I've already spent $100 on this game on PS3/Vita. So worth it though.

It appears the game requires an account with the developers for multi-player. So in a way, it does indeed have 3rd party DRM.

Last I can offer you is reinstalling the game again. Whatever it was doing before, reinstalling may overwrite it, where ever it is, in the end.

EDIT: I'm gonna stop posting on my phone to neogaf. I'm too slow on the responses and can't read quick enough on it.

Of the weekly deals, people should check out Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe. It is a really fun little "match 3"/platformer/shooter

(play for free at http://games.adultswim.com/super-puzzle-platformer-plus-online-puzzle-game.html)

 

[Turfster]

This might contain Blocks That Matter, and some other French games (Syberia, RUSE, Fly'n, Puddle, Hell Yeah, Storm, PixelJunk, Type:Rider, Babel Rising, Wooden Sensey, etc.)

Checking their blog, there'll be more than one bundle over a period of time with some kind of season pass thing?

 

[Robert J. Sullivan]

1) You haven't dealt with the enemies that crawl on the ceiling yet
2) IIRC the PC version is equivalent to the 360's easy mode, so you don't need to put up with spongey combat that requires tons and tons of boring repetition

goddamnit, ceiling enemies are my most hated thing in gaming next to spikes and mine fields

 

[Grief.exe]

DPFix .6 released

0.6 released

The short of it: texture overrides fixed, keybindable actions for screenshots and hudless screenshots added. Not the most nail-bitingly exciting release

 

[The_Monk]

Nice, hoping to see some neat screenshots from this game!

Yeah, they just patched in some free new content, too (and fixed that launch glitch from earlier). The best kind of addictive puzzle game.

Crazy good music, too.

kinda bummed out that the tables are not on Steam itself. I thought Steam didn't allow that? Still, I'll probably buy the tables I like for it, screw it. It's too good of a game for me to care.

 

[pettson3816]

DPFix .6 released

Would it be possible to implement native support for the 360 controller? That's the only gripe keeping me from buying this game.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Durante said the devs would have to do that and told them to concentrate on that in addition to fixing the random crashes when he consulted with them.

King Arthur’s Gold steam keys are up on their website in your panel.

Thanks, appreciated.

Yeah, it sounds interesting and different from the usual sort of bundle we get.
I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this.

The game uses your Steam wallet.

Great to finally get an update. I wonder what the news is.

 

[AngryChinchilla]

One positive thing I will say about Arkham City is that it plays very well in surround (5760x1080). Even with Physx maxed, I was still at a pretty smooth frame rate.

 

[Milamber]

What, that's even weirder.

Steam marketplace shall be dominated by Hats, crates, cards and pinball tables.

We were told that there are simply too many DLC packages/combinations/upgrades available that it would be too hectic to put it on the Steam Store.

Just how many DLC packages are we talking about here? I mean, more than Rocksmith and Train Simulator?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Well, that was roundabout. To redeem my King Arthur's Gold Steam key, here were my steps.

1. Go to GamesRage bundle page.
2. Request a multiplayer key for King Arthur's Gold
3. Go to kag2d.com
4. Register
5. Activate account using email activation link
6. Click "Panel" on kag2d.com
7. Click "Redeem premium code"
8. Input multiplayer key
9. Get Steam key
10. Redeem in Steam client.

Now I'm reading that Frogwares wants Groupees customers to email them if they want Steam keys for Dracula: Love Kills

 

[jshackles]

Not that many actually.

39 currently.

Also, one of the developers of Battle Worlds: Kronos just responded saying

Thanks for the info, will fix it.

What time does the Be Mine X bundle actually go live?

They usually get a countdown timer first.
