Is there a significant reason to get the Doom 3: BFG Edition if I already have the original and Resurrection of Evil? I don't want the same situation that DX:HR DC has. If there is a significant reason, can you use old saves on the new version?

Edit: Fuck it, it's $5 and has achievements.

Native controller and widescreen support. Plus, there is an extra expansion that is exclusive to the BFG edition
It should also come with Doom 1 and doom 2 as well, if I recall correctly

Last I heard, the update throws a wrench into some of the more beautiful mods due to the engine change.

Original is still better, the new content is a joke.

Screwing with people in 1v1 is beautiful :')
Or rather, sideswipe aerials feel great

I need to buy this.

But knowing my luck, the moment I'm buying this, its popularity drops down significantly the next week.

Er, this is an exaggeration, of my 5 real life friends who have played souls, only one finds it stressful, two find it challenging, and two find it "okay difficulty" and moreso a thought puzzle.

Lots of people who play games a lot do not shake/ragequit/throw controllers. :x
those were just the extreme examples of the stuff the game elicits in people

you don't have to have a panic attack to be stressed or tense when playing a game

the answers you keep giving are like AMNESIA WASNT SO SCARY like quality, it's not a matter of personal experience of you and your mlg friends, it's combining experiences with an appretiation of the mechanics and situations of the game and drawing a basic conclusion from it

i can't even believe i have to explain it

Just the response I expected to see. :)
it's the only correct response to a game that's CLEARLY meant for people that can't handle the real thing

Rocket league is here to stay.

I had my doubts after the first week.
It still keeps a good record, and i'm talking about steam alone.

ATM it has 28,876players online and the peak was 37k.
This is on a daily basis.
This game is here to stay.

Enjoy it. Wait for a possible christmas promo and buy. Worth every cent.

WET is pretty underrated. Sure the visuals were very PS2 looking and a few gameplay things needed ironing but it was fun.

Kinda sucks there was no PC version.

High five! One of my favorite games of last gen.

BTW am I going to have to lock myself in a windowless room with no internet or tv to make it through the next week without Star Wars spoilers? I'm getting worried.

my problem with rocket league is that i can only handle so many games that take actual effort and practice to enjoy and basically that game is the otherleague soo...

if it was like 7 bucks or something i'd buy it just to try it out but i dunno, much more than that just feels like i could use that money on games i actually gonna play for realsies

Getting insulted by the enemies for playing Illaoi is the best. Yes, yes, hate me more while I wrap you up in my tentacles.

He already mentioned that he had the original, just giving him the heads up on the differences.

Yeah mods not really working is a downer but since he has the OG game anyway I didn't bother to mention it

^RL is here to stay. Buy rocket league. It's $12 in BST often.

My friends are normal people. And I know plenty who dont find Souls hard, chill. Stop trying to take my subjective opinion and say it's objectively wrong, it's needless.

Also, for the sake of discussion: if we're going by a collective group, I hope the average person doesn't "rage" at video games, I always thought that was an extreme exaggeration.
 
4K really cleans just Cause 3 up but then I can't enjoy that sweet 60 FPS+ :/

Need a second 980Ti, sigh.

I need to play the best exclusives, so if I upgraded my PC that far, it'd ruin console games for me.

That's my current justification for not spending the cash to upgrade my 7850 at this moment.

I saw some newbie gamer trying it out on youtube and they had a lot of fun, I guess if you want to win and be super good it need dedication but you can also just play for fun.
 
The 2.0 patch for Star Citizen is available on the live branch now. First test of the persistent universe, multi crew flight and combining the various modules.
 
Just to defend the consoles, Syndicate it kinda difficulty to play on 1080p + 60 FPS.

And btw, people are still calling consoles for potatoes? Isn't that what the lowlife /r/pcmasterrace is doing?
Is that right? I thought potato and toaster were both referring to low power pcs, not that potato was a console.

Anyway I really like this series on YouTube. As someone who only has a pc and no interest in console controls and most exclusives I stay curious about the progression of tech this generation.

Yep, the potato is the low power PC they use for the tests.

Don't talk shit about my new main. She's pretty savage when played well. She doesn't have to conform to your skinny ideal of beauty.
you mean pretty average

nah i'm just making clear you're in the minority here because u were giving me the funny eyes when i said it was a stressful game :p

mark my words witness was hl3 all along

yeah i just think playing just for fun i might bite for less money than like 14 was it?

Playing Driver San Francisco, wtf is this?? o_O

On topic of the game however, it's another fucking open world game that requires you to do side activities to unlock story content, absolutely sick of this shit >_< (yeah, I know it's old, but I didn't know this)

I thought FF13 was supposed to be rubbish? ._.

Nah.

I mean, FF13 isn't amazing but it's definitely not horrible, just flawed in a lot of ways (story is incomprehensible unless you read the ingame codex, dialogue is cringey garbage, super linear). I'm having fun playing it so far.

FF13 LR is a legit good game, full stop.

Haven't played 13-2 but I heard its good.


It is.

You thought correctly.

Hey Pinball Steam GAF

After two (!) years of delays the Ultra Timeshock Kickstarter finally delivered something useful for PC users (the Android and iOS version got released before the PC version...inexcusable)

I just got, after uncountable delays, the first running PC version of the Timeshock remake...

have some screenshots



it runs really well (around 200FPS with max settings 1080x1920 on my 7870) and looks great... so better late than never...

using a vertical monitor is no problem... ands it's Timeshock as we know and love it...

I'm probably the first one to post about this (maybe on the whole internetz...not really), should I make a new thread? I'm to drunk to make decisions...

this should be release soon I think

13's chapter 11 was really good.

So good I believed in the game for a second.

But yeah, mostly rubbish, and the spinoffs just made everything worse, pandering to the exact opposite part of the FF fanbase from myself.
