I guess Quantum Break has the shittiest mouse acceleration ever created? Not even Binary Domain was better with a gamepad.
 
Seems that the SOTFS version of dark souls 2 is a bit tougher than the vanilla version. I never played vanilla and I have finished both demon's souls and dark souls and I'm getting my ass handed to me a bunch. I only managed to get to the bonfire with the little lady next to it after 3 hours. Didn't even reach a boss fight before I just decided I had enough for the day.

Shit just seems really rough right now, like I'm playing a new game plus version of the game or something.

Like, when I parry, does the game not do the thing where your attack fucks up the enemy? The enemy just gets stunned and I hit them with regular attacks.

For you.

Yes, that's still in. Dunno how you're missing it. Try hitting the attack button when doing that but don't use the analog while doing it.

You're thinking of the backstab, position yourself behind the guy and normal attack. I don't even bother with parry, too risky.

The mouse acceleration in BD was so bad that I almost played it with a gamepad. Almost.

Sadly I find it frustrating to aim with the analog sticks, too slow and clumsy after playing with KB/M my entire life, so I can't just laid back and relax with a shooter :(

You really can't. The motherboard switch would almost certainly have forced you to do a new windows install anyway, even if you were staying with windows 7. I'd just do the windows 10 install on the new drive and then just dig through the content on the old drive at your leisure. You'll probably find that you can just access everything where it is on the old drive just fine where it is, and just leave it there, that's what I ended up with.

Would My Computer just have another C drive when I install the old HDD into the new comp? From what google says Foobar does save everything but it's saying it's in %APPDATA%\foobar2000 which I'm not sure will display from a different location, I really just need my playlists more than anything.

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.
Checking out the upcoming games. All I see are VR games. Christ.

Embrace the future people.

Well the currently upcoming games are a bit skewed at the moment, since a total of 47 games were targeting the "launch day" release of the Vive, which is tomorrow.

does the vive really come out tomorrow? I haven't seen any fanfare or hype threads... maybe the oculus launch took it all :/

Tomorrow's going to be quite a day. Giant Bomb will be streaming the launch lineup all day; it's going to be glorious. (I don't think they're going home.)

I can't wait to vicariously embrace VR. Y'know, from a safe distance.

Launch thread is here

The hype is pretty low (I think) because VR of this type is such a new gaming paradigm. Most older folks, like myself, typically think of stuff like the VR of the 90s and the Virtual Boy, and new headsets like the Vive are nothing like that. VR is also something that people have to experience for themselves to "get".

If it weren't for the outrageous $800 price tag, I would have loved to pick up a headset and give it a try.

There are several directions you can go in the beginning of the game. If you are having a hard time in that area just go and explore elsewhere. Come back later when you've gotten the hang of things.

The main thing I've learned with all these Microsoft ports, UWP and Windows Store threads is that there are a lot more PC gamers in GAF that I thought.

Or that people are really opinionated about a platform they didn't care about before.

the price is the real killer now, but I have no doubt it will be huge.

2 things I could bet all my saving right now: electric cars and VR. ( I am really thinking about it actually...)

jshackles please help a fellow steamgaffer out and edit that title!

Quantum Break PC has no "Quit" option on Menu. Gotta Alt-F4

Quantum Break PC: No "Quit" option, Gotta Alt-F4 or Use A MOUSE; Possible Dark Souls III Spoilers
 
just say April 5th then

what a weird ass way of putting it if it's just a regular release

"we're trying this new platform thing people kinda dont like so lets just confuse them"

I mean, devs and pubs treat PC gamers like a second class citizen all the time. This kind of thing doesn't surprise me at all.
