How CPU-dependent is the performance?

 

[Tess3ract]

$25 too much.

Oh man, just yesterday I bought the Serious Sam complete pack. Well, maybe in 2 months it'll be cheap again.

mostly gpu based, a quad core will run better, but I could run it on low settings on my laptop a 2 ghz dual core ati 4570 (laptop gpu ;p) around 20fps at 1280x800

There is a demo btw.

Valve shirts btw

 

[xelios]

Sleeping Dogs is amazing, but I lost my save due to HDD failure (and stupidity of not using Game Save Manager + stupidity of a PC enhanced game not having cloud). Will have to start over but yeah, it's a blast.

DLC not being on sale is a crock though.

Ew yuck. I have a 4890 and I refuse to play at anything but 1920x1200. also 20fps is my minimum, ideally 45 fps

Just starve for a few days, it's well worth it.

"laptop gpu"

Aha. I don't get the connection with the quoted post.

"Create a blossoming fruit farm empire in this tree growing, time and resource management game."

Because when I think of empires, what comes to mind is fruit farms.

You should read this, it's interesting stuff. Maybe not an "empire" but dang close. I'm doubting that Flora's Fruit Farm allows for the option to bribe Colombian army officials to gun down striking workers, though if it did...insta-buy.

 

[kennah]

Aha. I don't get the connection with the quoted post.

He bolded the bit where MRORANGE was talking about how it works on certain GPUs Easy to miss with the picture.

 

[MRORANGE]

laptop gpu's are nowhere the same as the desktop counterparts.

 

[xelios]

Were members previously in cleaned up? I think I'm still in the group but I'm not particularly known in this thread.

I don't think anyone is going to remove members retroactively, no worries.

What laptop would that be? If it can run Sleeping dogs at those settings it sounds like it's just about what I'm looking for to play games like Borderlands/Dota 2 etc.

 

[plc268]

A 4890 is a desktop card (I'm assuming), and a 4570 is a mid/low tier notebook card that is a step above integrated graphics.


Hell, even high end mobile gfx cards still perform under mid tier desktop gfx cards.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Amazon price-matching Sleeping Dogs? 25€ is a bit steep and I hope that code stacks.

Edit: I guess I could ask in the Amazon thread...

it's a old sony vaio sr, although it does dip, when in heavy npc area's although any modern day laptop can run this game very well, mbp 13 should be fine.

There's a TF2 Sandvich shirt mentioned in the update description.

There is a demo on Steam. You should try it.

How big is it? 100mb takes me like 5 minutes.

15mb gifs actually make me happy about that weird Chrome freezing gif problem.

Did anyone else have to completely re-download 15.7gb of The Witcher 2 this morning?

It says they allowed Mac play as of today, but I don't know why I have to re-download FIFTEEN FUCKING GIGABYTES for no reason. It totally sucks.

Just looking for something cheap, but capable of handling less demanding games. Laptop thread isnt very helpful for stuff like that.

I assume MBP is for Macbook? I don't buy apple products.

 

[BoosterDuck]

There's a shirt Wei Shen can wear that's the exact same as this one http://store.valvesoftware.com/product.php?i=C01675

 

[Caerith]

Darksiders II Season Pass for $5 lol, are they ever even going to release any of the content for that? It keeps getting cheaper and cheaper and they keep releasing more and more non-Season Pass DLC.

I finally got around to playing the first Darksiders recently, but I think I'm going to wait for a GOTY edition of Darksiders II. There's just way too much stuff.

 

[Roto13]

Weekend Deal #2 is 75% off Payday: The Heist ($4.99), which is also having a Free Weekend.

That's free on PS+ right now, too. Those guys are trying to get that game into the hands of as many people as possible, I guess.

Oh god I want it now. But my backlog is huge enough as it is >_>

 

[xenoflux2113]

Looks like with The Witcher 2 going to Mac its also on sale again at $22.49 or 25% off.

 

[Adnor]

Agh, 50% discount in Sleeping Dogs just when I can't buy it? Goddamnit

 

[Echoplx]

Anyone elses copy of TW2 just start redownloading itself? ;_;

 

[snoopeasystreet]

The Witcher 2? I got a 500kb update for it today. Maybe something fucked up.

 

[Lingitiz]

I got that too.

 

[scorpscarx]

Now I feel like buying Sleeping Dogs just to get a taste of Cyberpunk 2077 haha.

 

[Hellix]

Tempted to get the Payday Soundtrack...

 

[Metalmurphy]

Were members previously in cleaned up?

No

 

[zkylon]

Didn't know this was released. Since it isn't on sale I'll wait on it, but Payday's OST is awesome, so some day...

Tried to check out the demo, game won't start, just hangs at the ESRB rating screen. Guess no Sleeping Dogs for me.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

I think even with Dishonored and XCOM out, Sleeping Dogs is still my frontrunner for GOTY. Hadn't had so much fun and been so engrossed in a game world for quite some time. Everyone must buy it.

Borderlands 2 would like a word with you

 

[Archie]

And coming out of left field: Dwarfs is now F2P.

 

[Dog Problems]

Borderlands 2 would like a word with you

I've warmed up to that game more with the new character Gaige but I still found myself losing interest in it towards the end. I actually just finished last night and rushed through the last few main story missions, not even bothering with sidequests. The game just didn't hook me like the first did and I thought it was that I couldn't get into the main characters so I figured I'd wait for Gaige and see if things changed. They did a little but I realized it's the game I'm not that into it, not the characters themselves.

I don't think it "sucks" or anything but if I were to pick a "AAA" game of this year as my game of the year it would probably be Dishonored. XCOM would be close. I haven't played Max Payne 3, Sleeping Dogs, Darksiders II.

Is it that good? I might need to get it then.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

Is it that good? I might need to get it then.

I don't want to over-sell it, it's not the "best game ever" or anything. It being the best is probably more of a reflection on how poor this year has been so far. But it is pretty damn good in any case and most importantly FUN.

Update: Steam GAF group now private.

An announcement was made today by Metalmurphy that the new rules are in effect due to issues with scammers/spammers & people only joining the group for giveaways. As a result the group has been made private and you must now be invited by an existing member. Any member may invite another gaffer.

It's in the OP now but thought I would post it here as well.

I'm embarrassed to say this, but we have a NeoGAF Steam group?

Maybe I should "skim" the OP more thoroughly in threads that are several OT's long, LOL.

I'm gonna have to do some reading on groups and see how they work I guess. Never been a member of a Steam group before...

 

[Alexios]

So, my Steam is redownloading Witcher 2 for no reason... Unless they just released a 16GB patch... I hate this shit.

 

[Last Baron]

Sleeping Dogs looks fantastic but I'll wait until I get a better card (GTX 460 768mb).

They are doing the presentation. Did they reveal anything there?
