Keys are out, no preload tho :/

Looks pretty nice.
I remember seeing the Kickstarter and thinking that I should pick it up at some point.
Please post impressions if you got it, I'd love to hear how it turned out.

I don't have Onimusha 3 or DMC 3 in my Steam library just yet, waiting for steam cheevos and cards.

Advent Rising in the category of shitty games and Mark Eko's is in the apathy category.

Among the games I don't play in my library.

The Steam version of Onimusha 3 was yanked almost a year-and-a-half ago now.

 

[Rhaknar]

oh shit that 2d rpg style game is out tomorow?

 

[MadGear]

Advent Rising is on Steam, so is Mark Eko's Contents Under Pressure as well.

I have both in my Steam library for various stupid reasons and I will never play either of them.

So is DMC 3 and Onimusha 3 as well, but there's no Steam cheevos for either of them.

lol no Xbox 360 controller on any of them.

Steam sales make me do dumb things for no good reason.

Do you actually not play games without achievements? I'm not judging but I somehow thought the achievement craze is a thing of the past.
Also for DMC3 you might want to look for the PS2 version instead. Looks and plays much better on an emulator.

Anyone else get this occasional frame hitching in Dark Souls 3?

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

Aaaawww, this sucks.

@MadGear, nah it's all right, you can judge.

Steam cheevos and cards give me incentive to play game :0

I'M currently hoarding some cards.

I refuse to sell my cards until all my inventory is filled up.

I noticed many games I have wishlisted coming out tomorrow (and in the coming days), this being one of them.

oh booooooooo, i held off because of a lack of proper controller support but in this post Steam Controller world I would've totally picked it up for cheap : /

It seems like a lot of people (myself included) get a slight hitch whenever there's an autosave.

The bigger issue to me is the ambient sound constantly dropping when things are loading, such as when scrolling through inventory.

If you put a dollar away each day for 114 days, you can buy it from G2A.

Someone in the PC performance thread said updating his Realtek audio drivers fixed the ambient audio dropouts.

 

[dex3108]

I am now trying to do 100% in GTA V and do all missions (you don;t need to do everything to get 100%). An i just found out that there is bug with Stock Car Races. There is no icon or guy you need to approach to start them at all. And yeas i have all other returning player missions including Monkey Mosaic, Murder Mystery, Dodo random event... And there is no solution for now

Now i know how you feel Jase

Is there even a limit for the Steam inventory? I know that there is a limit for these game specific inventories (TF2/CSGO/...) and there should probably be one for the steam one, but so far I have never read of anyone running out of space. I guess you will keep your cards then

I'm currently messing around with the Vivaldi Browser. Tab grouping and the tiled view is actually pretty handy. I know there are other ways to achieve this but I like it. I just wish you could resize the tabs.

If there is a limit, nobody's found it yet that I'm aware of. I've seen people with several thousand pages of inventory.

*laughs
that's like saying that loot whoring craze will go away, or catch 'em all, or 100%-ing, or collecting, etc. It's going away as surely as gaming is, meaning never until there are humans around that is.

hmm i think GMG remove FF IX now :-?

Good tip, Jase. Thanks!

I've updated and we'll see how it goes.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Time to see if this is truly better or if almost everyone's a baby like every other time they compare controllers.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

hope you got the 3.5 jack one with the better bumpers

Yeah it says so on the box.

 

[Arthea]

I have all Telltale games in that HB, I haven't finished a single one in upper tiers yet.
Who's with me?

hmm i think GMG remove FF IX now :-?

no worries, is going to release this month without a fail

Spoiler

because I already spent FF9 money

 

[zkylon]

yup, it's an issue with the game's autosave

it's pretty annoying but u get used to it

the game's been super stable outside of that, i had one crash and pretty steady performance (60 fps on medium for the most part with dips into 50 in some areas with a lot of fog, water surfaces, long draw distances)

Cos I thought it was my PC at first

Call me crazy but I really am not much of a fan of the DS4 at all =/

 

[InfiniteNine]

I already have one of these I figured I'd give the bone controller a spin as well since I wanted a controller to dedicate to my PC. DS4 will be with the PS4 for now.

Should have gotten a steam controller! I like mines a lot

i was thinking of buying a new controller, ps4 controller is compatible with everything and charges through usb, right?

cos i don't wanna be buying batteries

 

[rtcn63]

Rechargeable AAs are cheap.

But get whatever fits your functional and comfort needs.

 

[Jawmuncher]

It is but you will have to use software for it. Only some games have native DS4 Dinput like Transistor and I think Grim Fandango

Should have gotten a steam controller! I like mines a lot

I like having a lot of options on PC. It's the best part of the platform. Oh this game feels better with the steam controller, this with the DS4, this with the X1 controller, etc.

Though I do need to get me a wireless adapter for my X1 controller. Tired of the USB coming out while I play if I move a little too much.

 

[Ludens]

Did someone lost exp points in Hitman? I was level 20, when I booted the game again it showed me as level 19, I leveled up again to 20, did another level and in the end it showed me as level 18, now I leveled up again to 20 but I'm afraid to boot the game again.
Level 20 has no purpose, but it unlocks an explosive I need to complete a challenge.
All challenges I did are still here, only exp is missing.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Dammit, even after 3 games (De, DkS, DkS2 and the DLCs) there's still no game that can match Dark Souls for me. I had to grind 4 levels to get a bit better stats, but the feel when you use your instincts to navigate to some direction despite having tons of souls and no flasks and finding a shortcut back home just cannot be beat.

[InfiniteNine]

Nah, Nabs spiel on it painted it as something I would never use. When I went to go pick it up I got to try out some mechanical keyboards though and the G720 feels nice so I'd probably get that over a Steam controller.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

I am playing Dark Souls 3 right now with a Steam Controller with fairly normal configuration and it feels great. Best thing is having mouse controls on right touchpad which makes the camera the most fastest and accurate thing on the planet AND you can use mouse to navigate menus

 

[Baron_Calamity]

No kidding.

The setting sounds interesting, though the movement looks a little janky but if it control well I can ignore it.

That is a paid DLC? I only saw the image/name and by reading "Workshop" I believed it was Steam Workshop Mod Integration.

I was under the same impression until I saw it was just DLC.

 

[InfiniteNine]

If you hate yourself and your hands

Hyperbolic stuff like this is why I find it hard to take controller recommendations.

 

[rtcn63]

I find the DS4 comfortable, the buttons are easier to hit for my shorter fingers. And I use it wired so battery life isn't an issue, and the lighter weight is a plus if you have fucked up hands.

Analog sticks protrude a bit too much though.

the battery life and the peeling sticks are a real bummer though.

Especially coming off the steam controller which lasts me like 80 hours on a pair of AAs whereas my PS4 pad has like 6 hours of life at the most

 

[Shalashaska]

I've played mostly the Playstation over the years so I'm most comfortable with the Dualshock.

 

[Jawmuncher]

It just depends. Some people really aren't very adaptable to other controllers. For me as long as it ain't the N64 controller I'm good.

The peeling analogs are fixed for any of the new batch of controllers. However the peeing of the back sticker is still a thing. Depending on how you hold it.

Well the only first party controllers I've tried that I hate are the Dreamcast's and the N64. Dreamcast one in particular is confusing since the Saturn 3D controller was great.
