Nvidia saying that it's for the user's protection is bogus for many reasons.

Pretty much everything that Nvidia has said lately seems to have been bogus

 

[Lomax]

Melting two mobile graphics cards is enough to make me tentative about overclocking a desktop GPU, much less a mobile one. There's not a laptop form-factor in existence that can dissipate heat well enough for even chronic use, much less overclocked.

Regarding voice-over actors, the only time I've really been disconcerted by one was when the actress that voiced Clementine from Walking Dead popped up as a random character in Puzzle Agent. It just seemed so out of place. Granted she did that part before Walking Dead, but hearing that voice come out of a 20-something blonde was just all wrong.

I can understand if you personally would not want to overclock a GPU.

 

[Atraveller]

The case wasn't opened. I used a different thermal paste on the GPU and CPU then closed it all up.

At the time I played Titanfall, Street Fighter IV, Metro Last Light. But I always recorded my temps.

It's not a ludicrous idea to OC a GPU in a laptop. Also defending a company that prevents a user from controlling their own hardware is weird.

Nvidia saying that it's for the user's protection is bogus for many reasons.

They want to avoid hardware problems so they restrict users from doing it, how is that bogus? I don't see people complaining about not being able to OC every model of Intel CPU.

Holy moly! I read an review and seems like its gpu gets to 90 degrees under load. That's 10 degrees higher than 9mm thinner Acer Aspire V15.

Maybe 660m is just an awful GPU, I don't know.

Pre-order for Agarest 2 is up..



$15.99€

 

[Tizoc]

For anyone thinking of getting a gaming laptop with Nvidia GPU:

That might explain why I'm getting FPS dips in League of Legends, hope there's a work around for that...

 

[MMBosstones86]

haha

best bet is Steam Machines

definitely a better idea to have closed demos for the press then letting them try out the public ones for 10-30mins. Neither CES nor GDC worked well last year.

Any hope of Steam Controller talk? Seems like it's been a while

I'm getting a 33% discount, so 13.39€, possibly because I own the other titles.

 

[Phawx]

Nah, 660m is Kepler. My 670m was Fermi and I managed 25% OC with barely any extra heat.

I'd say it has way more to do with your HSF/paste.

They want to avoid hardware problems so they restrict users from doing it, how is that bogus? I don't see people complaining about not being able to OC every model of Intel CPU.

Mobile GPUs are designed to run at 100C. They have internal protections to shut down if heat gets out of control. Additionally, within the driver set they already have a safety limit with how much extra voltage you can put into it. They don't let you go nuts.

Yeah, it shows up as $13.39 for me.

Valve said to a couple of sites a while ago GDC will be about Steam Machines front and center for them. That should naturally include the controller. Especially after one of their partners said it's supposedly finalized.

"Due to popular feedback we've added two analogue sticks and a d-pad"

Yup, I own one of the Agarest games (not the other one yet) and I have a 33% off discount as well, so a special promotion it seems.

Pre-ordering will give you bunch of dlcs. Will there be more dlcs after release?

 

[dex3108]

Ubisoft said on conference call that even for them PC sales are better and better every year so that is nice to hear

 

[MMBosstones86]

Pre-ordering will give you bunch of dlcs. Will there be more dlcs after release?

Judging by the rest of the titles....yes.

Mini-games: Engage in Bathtub, Shiatsu, and Massage mini-games!

wat.

 

[YianGaruga]

Pre-ordering will give you bunch of dlcs. Will there be more dlcs after release?

Yesh they said there will be a few weekly DLC releases.

After launch we’ll be releasing the remaining Agarest 2 DLC bundles once a week. As with the previous titles in the series, you can expect the bundled DLC to be considerably cheaper than it was when sold as individual items on PSN.

 

[MUnited83]

Pre-ordering will give you bunch of dlcs. Will there be more dlcs after release?

You could read a bit higher on the page . Preordering won't give you any dlcs. All dlcs included will be included with every purchase. It's not a preorder bonus. And yes, of course there will be more DLC for purchase. Is Agarest, after all

Cloud Saves are also supported as are Steam trading cards, backgrounds and icons while a wealth of DLC is included in the game completely free of charge with other packs available to purchase separately following release.

 

[The Red Wizard]

[Dr Dogg]

Blimey even with -33% off on Far Cry 4 my day -1 retail copy was still almost a fiver cheaper.

After playing a bunch of SNK games man do I wish there was a 2D top-down run n' gun where you blow up dinosaurs...is there even an indie game that does that?

 

[Turfster]

Over New Year's, iirc.

Damnit, Milamber...

That's nothing really.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

It's two years I'm waiting for a 75% off on Valdis Story, and the game NEVER get even a 1% discount. I saw it in a community choice in X-Mas 2013 sale, then it disappeared. But we get same discounts on some stuff almost one time per month.

I have a receipt from when I gifted it to a friend in November of last year, it was $3.74. I'd say that's at least over 1% discount~!

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Steam tax.

It had 75% once, 13 months ago. And it also had been in a humble bundle

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Really? Are you sure? I missed that deal, then :l

Ah, I read the email wrong. It was January 1st, 2014.

 

[Dr Dogg]

ubi gonna ubi

Steam tax.

The funny thing is that when Far Cry 3 finally turned up on the UK store it was cheaper than retail and then got discounted to silly levels later on. What a difference a couple of years and some new toys consoles makes

 

[Deques]

So basically two years ago, when the game lost community choice, it went on sale anyway (since that is X-Mas sale 2013).
Lol, I totally missed it and I was waiting for the community choice :\

2014 January is not two years ago

I mean two X-Mas sales ago.

It's still only one X-max between now and then

Edit: you meant x-mas sale >.<

13 months != 2 years

Roundabout is apparently 50% off as a special deal (not weeklong). I own the game, but have yet to try it, but according to other people, it's a super fun game.

Thanks for the heads up!

This will be my first Steam purchase since the winter sale.

It's sad that part of me wants to keep waiting for 75%, but I think I should support the dev and go ahead and bite. I have $15 in card monies, after all.

 

[Jawmuncher]

2 anime games on the same day, holy hell.
No one bought that visual novel yet. I want to know how that one is.

NBA2k15 is also free to play this weekend, with a 50% discount.

there is no stopping it!

now I'll have to buy it... cards and cheevos, too much to resist. (._.)

How would I go about updating the non-Steam ver.?

 

[Chariot]

How would I go about updating the non-Steam ver.?

Here:

It will be updated on Humble and MangaGamer as well as Steam. While Steam will automatically update, you have to manually go download the new build from the other distribution services. Feel free to delete and replace your old game executable. You will not lose your save data.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Why are all my 'Recommended for you' games zombie games? Like 7 one after the other? Ohhhhh because I've been on a RE binge. There really are waay too many zombie based games.

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. Audrey's gonna be my date this Saturday.

I keep repeating it as a broken record, nobody listens, there are made more and more every day!
