BTW Dungeon of the Endless (Crystal Pack) is still only $7.99 on Amazon. Pretty good deal for a neat little game.

Yep, I picked this up. Better price than the Steam Winter Sale if I'm remembering right.

Now when I'll have time to play it ... that's another question.

 

[freshVeggie]

And now Aliens vs. Predator 2010 is back http://store.steampowered.com/app/10680/

[...] let's wait and see. maybe pes and avp games will return shortly like walking dead survival instinct did.

Feels good to be right.

Hmm. Meet the minimum reqs for TW3, and I'd be at recommended if not for the 750 Ti. Not sure if I could upgrade that further though without a new case - as it is I had a hard time fitting the 750 Ti in (Dell case). Would need a new power supply too.

Though I might be looking at building a whole new rig in the next year, so who knows. Still playing through the original game, and have TW2 on the plate as well.

I am wondering how a 750Ti can not serve well for Witcher 3 when I read on Gaf that it is more powerful than even the PS4?
And supposedly that is going to be able to handle the game at 900p afair.

That guy tried to add me the other day too.

Damn. A couple months ago a person with the same description added me as well. I clearly remember him being into turtles.

No joke. Being patient is probably one of the most useful traits. Glad I ain't getting overhyped and impatient.

Yeah, I picked it up for 9.99 iirc. Got my money's worth out of it though. Will eventually revisit to beat again, but for now I'm happy.

The hell why are the gems so expensive now? Now I can't bank on my animu games anymore ;___;

I bought about 50 sacks when they bottomed out at .48 hoping to sell them uguu~ cards

Here's hoping to auctions this summer or winter.

I sure hope I will be able to coast for a few more years with the combo of 750TI and 768p.

 

[drizzle]

I know the original You Don't Know Jack games only have local multiplayer, as opposed to the Jackbox, that has internet multiplayer, but...

Are the original Steam YDKJ Games in this Bundlestars Bundle in the new Jackbox Party Pack?

Party Pack includes YDKJ 2015, does that have all those games/expansions/questions, or it's a different set of questions?

 

[Annubis]

If I don't own any of their other games and don't care about the added 'hero', wouldn't the pixel pack be fine?

 

[tj hazuki]

sweet that looks a blast(literally)

Wow... Talk about a blast from the past.

Warbird 4 life

You guys should defiantly play it again/start. I've been playing since 2002. Lots of fun things to do.

There are now still a few 0.48s left, I bought them. Even if it is limits my income, I can still make some money.

 

[Lomax]

They are dropping back down now. They have been periodically uncraftable for the last day or so. Seems like Valve is messing with the system in some fashion.

How are you even making any money these days? Even my most expensive booster would make me 2 cents tops profit!

While I think 750Ti has enough grunt, I do believe the low ram will force your hand a lot earlier :/

Also, where is Turfster ?

That's a pretty decent price, so I'll bite. It seems like something I'd like, whenever I get around to it, anyway.

Also, where is Turfster ?

He's probably doing PT for his arm right now.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

I think that when the 750ti is matching console performance or barely beating it in new games, I think that it will do just fine for witcher 3. I mean... It runs unity just as well as the consoles do for Chrissakes.

RAM or VRAM?

Hadn't had a problem with my 8GB of RAM yet (although CoDAW required me shutting down browser to free 1.5 GB), but that's easily expandable if needed.

Can't help about VRAM, but still, 2GB should be enough for 768p I think. Texture detail might need some tweaking depening on engine used.
(It's not like consoles have a vastly larger pool when you include the stuff their OS/rest of data takes).

Yeah, I was meaning VRAM. It is 2GB? Oh, I thought only 1GB. 2 sounds good these days but don't consoles have a bit over 5GB for games alone? That's why I am holding out with getting a PC. 970 has only 4GB. I think 6GB would be way more futureproof.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

You can get the pixel pack for $6.79 from GMG after using one of their codes, though.

Consoles have unified memory. In the case of the PS4 a bit over 5GB for games alone, however that's not just VRAM. It's for everything.

Yeah but /r/patientgamers/
I'd wait for Summer sale =P

 

[billmcdougal]

I'm reading a Witcher novel and one part specifically mentioned that he doesn't take trophies. They must have forgotten about that line when developing Witcher 2

 

[autoduelist]

If I don't own any of their other games and don't care about the added 'hero', wouldn't the pixel pack be fine?

Well, yeah, as you said you don't want anything else. The extra character is very nice though, probably best in game. You don't need him though.

 

[Knurek]

Yeah, I was meaning VRAM. It is 2GB? Oh, I thought only 1GB. 2 sounds good these days but doesn't consoles have a bit over 5GB for games alone?

Yeah. 5 GB for texture, meshes, audio, game logic, look up tables and everything else.

 

[Phinor]

Man the Witcher Adventure Game is kinda confusing... At first.

I find most board game digital adaptations do a poor job at explaining the game. Witcher wasn't an exception to this rule.

He does have at least one trophy though.

Yeah really, I think they need to include a tutorial mode instead of just a bunch of tutorial videos.

Not sure you can receive 3 keys like before if you sign up now.

Oh I thought the 2,5GB reserved for OS is comparable to what PC uses the DDR3 RAM for and the rest 5,5GB what the GPU on a PC would use.

 

[Madn]

I've just completed Cave story+.
I found the game really good. The bosses are easy once you figure out the one trick you have to do to beat them but I don't think that's a problem. I really liked all the different and weapons and how shooting downward with a machinegun lets you float. Reading some comments online I've discovered that I've barely scratched the surface of the game, but I don't think I'll be going back to get the real ending any time soon because of my backlog.
The music is top notch.

Also, is it true that the original was made by just one guy? If so, that's definitely impressive!

 

[ashecitism]

That's not how it works on PC either, haha. Games on PC use both system and video memory.

Yeah. 5 GB for texture, meshes, audio, game logic, look up tables and everything else.

Basically.

There is still more than a month left and I assume there will be a little boost of last-minute buyers. No need to hurry

I'd say it's worth it to run through the game again to try to get the real ending (there's also a "bad" third ending that you can get before the real end of the game if you choose a certain dialogue choice). Still, do it using a walkthrough, as it's one of those things I really don't see how anybody could just stumble upon doing.

Also, is it true that the original was made by just one guy? If so, that's definitely impressive!

I believe it was.

It is quite unimpressive VN. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad or anything, it's just not good enough. *sighs*

or maybe I expected too much.

I think Watch_Dogs just dropped in price to $39.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

So this just happened (two free games)

I think Watch_Dogs just dropped in price to $39.

Aww yiss, next time it's 90% off it's just the right price

 

[Arthea]

I think Watch_Dogs just dropped in price to $39.

it has to, as I plan to $5 it at some point in not so distant future, like 2 years from now max, probably less.

 

[Sch1sm]

I bought Watch Dogs on release and still haven't gotten through Act 2 at all. Not even worth 4.99, IMO. 2.49 is the right price for any platform - it's only value is being on a disc for PS/XB. ;.;
