The ingame FPS limiter doesn't work?

For what ever reason in game limiters don't achieve the same frame consistency as Rivatuner does. Durante actually mentioned this in a Witcher 3 article he did for PC gamer when it came out. He had charts showing the effect and everything.

 

[Parsnip]

No one posted the Dark Souls 3 DLC trailer yet, right?

GOG Connect doesn't seem to be going too well

Good games. Dying to go back to DR1 on PC. Wonder how well it holds up. One of my favourite (Xbox) games ever.

MD on a GTX 670 - low/off settings for everything but textures and level of detail. Locked 30fps (I think) for a more consistent experience. The game runs fucking hot. I'm thinking about upping my air conditioner settings during play.

Only one crash so far in the prologue mission, but there was some serious lag during the Prague walk.

Gameplay-wise - enjoyable, but it feels dated in a lot of minor ways. Save-scumming is recommended on "This is Deus Ex" difficulty although it does hurt immersion (you can rely on autosave checkpoints during missions). There are too many objects you can interact with, most of of which are useless. Makes it harder to find items you actually need.

The objective marker can be shit. There's at least one early side mission that points the location of one NPC you have to talk to, but not the other.

Looks like I'm good to wait on the inevitable GOTY edition / complete edition later on

 

[KingKong]

they really love this type of shot don't they

 

[r3n4ud]

Looks like I booked my vacation swimmingly. Of course, I gotta finish the main game first.

Cockroach cameras are really popular these days.

 

[Rhaknar]

I forget if I went into NG+ or not in anticipation of the DLC... I think I did, saying to myself "aw fuck it the DLC is months away and by then ill have finished it again"

...turns out I never touched the game again so /welp

Just ordered Singularity and Dead Rising on Steam.

ordered?

Your post made me buy Singularity..

and Mafia 3 and Klocki and Hooks

In quickly browsing the PC Performance thread, it seems there are a few unoptimized settings like MSAA.

MSAA is not generally not "unoptimized" in a deferred renderer, so there's likely nothing to be fixed. It just is an extremely power hungry way of dealing with aliasing when run in a deferred render and not nearly as effective as it is for a forward renderer.

It's a clear showcase why developers are probably better off not having very high-end features / scaling, because even though mentioned it in their forums (http://steamcommunity.com/app/337000/discussions/0/355043117525800870/) the culture around PC gaming doesn't seem to be fit with dealing with it well. It's more of a future-proof setting than anything, but if the backlash is this strong then I as a developer would never greenlight a enthusiast setting like that.

Really hoping for some sort of discount for Mafia. Perhaps closer to release. If not, I'll pick it up anyways and I'll pout about it

I planned for this, also asked for it.

One of my favorite Xbox games as well, I think it should hold up well.

Bought.

I see, and I completely agree. The PC community has largely become too ignorant to be able to handle the depth they are given.

 

[Ludens]

I'm ready for Obduction, finally a game which will challenge me. I hope it's like Riven and not like Myst 4 anyway, got stucked on that monkey music puzzle for one week, on the spider chair for 5 days.

I planned for this, also asked for it.

You followed my hint.

One steam sale away from glorious 500k~

 

[Rizzi]

And here I am without a decent rig. Dammit.





I know I am a whale. I see several stuff priced for 50€, so I am scared of this game.

Saw the title and for some reason thought there was a new Oddworld game.
lol

 

[Sarcasm]

Hence the asking ^.^

 

[GhostTrick]

One of my favorite Xbox games as well, I think it should hold up well.



Bought.



Nice.

Let's be fair. It'd be easier for devs to just rename settings ultra and people would be happy this way :

Nice! Last time I saw it was lest than 250k.

 

[Grief.exe]

Speaking of Steamspy, No Man's Sky approaching 800,000 sales.

I would be curious to find out what their refund rate was. Possibly between 10-20%, which would put them approaching 1 million sales.

Let's be fair. It'd be easier for devs to just rename settings ultra and people would be happy this way :

I don't think that would fix the issue as people just put things on max then blame the developers unilaterally for poor performance.

It's ignorance.

 

[someguyinahat]

And here I am without a decent rig. Dammit.

I'm getting increasingly confused as to whether my rig is decent or not. The number of SKUs these days is positively baffling.

Edit: And according to these benchmark lists, my CPU doesn't meet the minimum requirements for Obduction. Welp, I knew that day would come, seeing as I got this computer in 2009.

 

[ramoisdead]

Adult Swim Games just announced that they are publishing the new ToeJam & Earl game, Back In The Groove.

Here's the Steam page for it.

GOG Connect doesn't seem to be going too well

How so? I mean how did it fail, in attracting new custmers?

Always felt to me just as a thing for existing customers, making them feel more and more that GOG was a legimate game library. For me they succeeded in that, because I wouldn't mind buing a game there if it was cheaper than Steam.

 

[Ludens]

Why are you talking about GOG Connect? Did Gog release a new statement?

 

[SSPssp]

I assume he means that there are no games on GOG connect right now?

Woah, Dragon's Dogma has 400k owners already?

Not good enough for me unfortunately. £12.99 per month to rent games isn't particularly good enough when they are so old that it may well be more justifiable to buy the games and PS3. More to the point, latency, resolution and bitrate issues are not great to have.

 

[MUnited83]

Hmm, seems you can actually use a Xbox Controller with the Playstation Now app.

I was hoping I could rent individual games

Here are informations regarding the PC Port of Nier

I hope i just misunderstand what they're saying regarding options. :/

Here's the respective thread

Apparently the game will be locked to 1080p/60FPS

ATTN:

Obduction. That is all.

 

[Teggy]

I haven't bought an IndieGala bundle since March. I don't know if that speaks more to me being more disciplined or to them having crappy bundles.

Thanks for the news! I ran to check bestbuy and they don't have it but Amazon does: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KP4ZYGK/?tag=neogaf0e-20

You get 20% off if you have Prime, but I'm going to switch over to Bestbuy if I can since I have credit. Also, no release date delivery on Amazon. Hope that changes.

Im gonna be starting it up myself once its done downloading. Right in the middle of my Deus Ex playing too. Was not expecting this to be good but will be happy to be wrong if thats the case.

Crappy bundles mostly. But this one isn't bad, RFLEX for example is worth a try if you enjoy frustrating twitchy reaction tests with a great soundtrack. Still trying to beat the easiest level.
