Some people will use Crysis or Witcher 3 as an example of how PC can offer you a better experience.
I will just show them these.
EDIT: Wait, JPG compression? IS THAT YOUR BEST, I DON'T THINK SO.
Awwh, I can only do 4K with my 970 without drops in framerate :/

don't worry it's real
But the question is are they going to be half-assed ports (again)?
Square should seriously have eidos handle their pc ports they always screw something up
Isn't all Eidos ports handled by Nixxes though? lol
I saw that and was disappointed. I need to beat imgur to death now, or find something better. Suggestions while I go higher on Xrd pls.

I never understood why they seem to let Japanese port the games instead of contracting/outsourcing the port to another western studio with a better track record of PC ports. That should even be cheaper...
Edit:
Yeah. Minecraft VN whatever on GL.
Going forward the ports shouldn't be a problem anymore since they adopted Unreal Engine 4. The main issue is probably their own proprietary engine they've used. Eidos wouldn't probably know much to do better with them.

To my surprisal, it's "only" a 760 and it still gets almost all "newgen" (when is it ok not to call them newgen anymore?) games at 1080p/60fps with higher quality settings than consoles. Pretty powerful stuff. If there had been a 960Ti, I'd have jumped on that.
Very high expectations or better "hype" leads to even good but flawed games being stamped as "garbage/shit" sadly. If you stay realistic and don't get too caught in hype culture, I believe FFXIII can be judged better and enjoyment can be had.
On your question, I'm interested in playing FFXIII trilogy, now that it is completely available on PC but I haven't entered for the giveaways. Waiting for a good deal on all three.
Oooh so pretty, Oooh so gorgeous.
Like I said earlier, I'd be all over a GG Xrd themed action brawler.
Not my intention to make you jelly but I got this little gem on my Win8.1
T'was a bit of work but worth the nostalgia alone

Aw yiss! Only Kalameet's tail left :')
So fun fighting him. Dodging at the nick of time so good. Dude got some major punch behind his air-spin attack
Pretty gorgeous vistas in this place. A bit empty and lifeless the woods but it's very atmospheric and unique, I'll give 'em that.
Soon 
Which is why I put them up on dropbox. Here's the album. A mix of 7680x4320 and 5760x3240 in there. I'd say 56k warning but I don't think that's enough of a warning given how big those screenshots are.
Sadly, 7680x4320 caused Xrd to drop down to 40fps. So I guess I need a new graphics card.

The User has returned to Tron!
There's a standard arcade mode (fight 8 people --> end credits), a story mode that's about five hours long, and M.O.M mode that's a survival mode in which you can earn medals for your character to give them slight bonuses while fighting other characters with their own bonuses (Plus defense, cannot move, weak to poison).
Leftover from bundle.

listen to the mad man
it's that time of year again where i install a bunch of games on my laptop before i go on vacation and play mini metro for 15 minutes on the plane and don't touch the rest of the games the whole time!

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
You make it seem like that's a bad thing.

I do the same thing when I travel as well. "I gotta get ready for this trip!". Just end up sleeping the entire time on the plane.

I can't sleep on planes. I just end up listening to audiobooks/podcasts.

I sleep like a baby on planes. They knock me out, even with the uncomfortable seats.

I think I just lost all my recent Witcher 2 saves.
So the Witcher 2 and its predecessor the Witcher have this brillant mechanic where there are no rolling autosaves. So everytime the game autosaves a new file is created. Which is great when you want over a gig of save files you will never use.
But apparently the engine doesn't like that and the game will start crashing out when you try and reload after you have 800 or so saves floating around. And if fills up your Steam Cloud allotment as well.
So I disabled Cloud and deleted the oldest saves and went about my merry way. And since the game was actually stable I was able to get to Chapter 3. And then I quit and came back and the latest save is the last one before I disabled the cloud which is like 2/3 into Chapter 2. And the non-cloud savefile location is empty.
So I have been saving games for like 5 hours that either went into the void or are hidden somewhere. I feel like Youtubing this shit.

Star Citizen is so crazy, some random dude at the station port caught a ride in my ship as I was taking off(he was hiding in my ship's bed) and then jumped out the back as I was going into hyper drive and I saw him fly off into oblivion.
I got a crowdfunding campaign where giving me games from this list gets you pictures of me playing said games.
or I can always make a potato salad kickstarter.

Okay here's my "Games I Will* Play on Vacation" list (* won't)
Mini Metro
Cinders
1849
Contradiction Spot the Liar (have about 30 minutes left of this)

Do I get a Twilight Princess type game without Wii-mote requirements and does it have achievements?
______________________
Played some of the BFG Doom 1 and 2 games, they look better than I would've expected. Definitely not anything groundbreaking, but definitely up-res'd. May actually push through them once again for old time's sake.
You've been talking about Contradiction for months now and still haven't played it? Get on that!
Yes, Fig.co; I don't care about the return on investment part of it, it's essentially their own Kickstarter thing.

I really liked the 5 hours I've played of Lisa, I should get back to it. Game does some really interesting thing with npc companions.
This is surprisingly long.
