I believe the dx11 system they used is the culprit for the poor performance at max settings. Specifically Tesselation, but I am a few years removed from that discussion.
Why didn't you just turn down some settings to achieve 60 FPS? Honestly, you may just of had to turn down one setting and would have been fine.
Also, the library is an intense cat and mouse affair. Excellent way to end a game.
Speaking of which: is there known cases of Valve merging accounts when requested? I have CSS on my other account and would love to have it on my main one.

A random old-ass Sierra adventure appears.
And they're working on a remake: http://www.goldrush-game.com/en/remake/
It was mentioned before, but when it arrives on Steam, it'll be one of the oldest games on the store. It's really great to see a game this old go up for sale.
The violent, difficult choice aspect of the game works out really well sometimes. There's two specific parts of chapter two that made me a little squeamish because of the gore.
Two reasons for that. One, I thought that was still on Greenlight. Two, it's a Winter Wolves game, so I would only mention it to warn people that it's probably bad.
At least I'm not the only one that remembers fucking Break Record. Atlus pls.
Preemptive happy birthday!
It looks good, but if I do buy it in a bundle, events will likely go:
1. Buy bundle, 2. Maybe install Super Trench Attack, 3. Never actually get around to playing it.
Sad truth :/
"taken by ModBot"
ModBot is truly a machine of mercy
Oh I did turn down. And the library was glitched for me.
They weren't at their spawn points and would insta attack even if I wasn't looking. Than like 25 loads latter they spawned normally and I was able to just run all the way to the end lol.
Haven't logged into community in quite a while. Aside from that weird inventory thing, the past week or so, steam never stays logged in after I close my browser.
I don't have that problem with GAF or anywhere else. This is even with clearing out all the cookies, etc.
Maybe I'll just do a fresh FF install and see what happens. Pretty annoying.
And still waiting for Super Time Force!

It was good for a mobile title, I can't see it translating as well to pc; it's not a terribly difficult or deep puzzle game.
15 hours into Fallout New Vegas and I am so bored with it. These quests feel like chores and nothing about the games appeals to me anymore. At first I was excited getting new quests and exploring unknown locations, but now everything just blends together into one grey mush. Doesn't help that I don't like the gameplay anymore either. Oh well, I tried and it was fun for a while.

Steam is going down a similar path of ios/android right now, so don't get too preachy about it
oh, i know. I've seen the rise of terrible bundles just like the rest. The only difference is that while we still get things like bad rats and meh ios games, we also get stuff like the Witcher 3 and alien isolation. I don't mind more games (regardless of their origins) so long as we still get the hot shit along with them, too. The more the merrier!
Naw, it was the DOF setting in DX11. It chewed up frames and spit them out with no regard for life. Turn that off and the game plays buttery smooth.
And the library loses something once you realized that those enemies can actually be killed. Just get your shotty going and then you can walk around with no fears, like those sweet tshirts from the 90s.
Theif doesn't run that bad on Nvidia hardware now after their latest diver updates.
. It does have some hideous frame pacing issues that are present in every single version and effect any GPU vendor due to being a fault of the game itself. Plus the texture flicker with SLI set ups is a bit of a pain now and then as well as shadow depth rendering getting a little screwy sometimes.
Did you get to New Vegas proper, as in the main city? That's when things really start opening up and branching off. Also did you stumble upon the quest Come Fly With Me? That was a highlight for me when I first played FNV but really the writing, world and characters within felt massively better than what Bethesda did with Fallout 3 for me. Never was a fan of the gameplay elements and mechanics of either but the other points I mentioned more than made up for it for me. Though 15 hours is a bloody good go so I'm sure you know what you like or don't like.
That is if you spend a small fortune on GPUs mind

Its okay I will start play through 4 just so the world balances out and there is no rapture.
I have a 4690k and a GTX780 and 2033 is the only game that has dropped frames for me so far.
Actually, Betrayer also has some tearing issues when maxed, and loses frames when I turn on vsync. Guess I should've mentioned that in my little review...

Metro 2033 was crazy. I expect the Redux version to be a lot more optimized though.

I'm glad you posted this. It makes me feel better about giving up on it a few hours into it. I beat Fallout 3, but this one just didn't grab me.
There is an option that you are specifically supposed to turn off or else it always runs like that. I'm on a 4670k and a GTX770 and I was having problems with the game at first also (Metro 2033). I don't have the game installed right now so it's hard to check, but mess around and look in the graphics options and you should definitely find the answer to your problem. I'll look online see if I can find it also.
Edit: Disable Advanced Physics. Should work perfect after that.

You act like it wasn't published by Square Enix...

So glad I beat it when I bought it for 15$. I feel bad for anyone who got suckered into paying 50$ for it though.
I finished both games (as well as the originals) and although lots of people will say New Vegas is the better game next to Fallout 3 I have to disagree. There's very few "wow" moments, most of the vaults are terrible and the majority of the map is homogeneous nothingness. Fallout 3 had its problems but it a much more exciting world IMO. In a lot of ways Fallout 3 feels like Fallout 2 whereas New Vegas feels more like Fallout 1.
Western Squeinx title so was going to hit 75% off eventually but within two months is a first I think. It's an ok game if you're a fan of adventure games or games where interaction with the environment is more of a focus than combat encounters.
Myself, Dusk, Stallion and a couple of others wrote about our experiences with Murdered in this thread and this is really going to make me wish I finished posting the bloody PM to Knurek now about having other peoples impressions easily to hand to show people

as soon as it was a pack-in with certain video cards anyone with a good head on their shoulders would've known better than to pay full price for that game. Plus, it's published by Square Enix, famous for rapidly dropping the prices of their western-developed games and is currently hosting a humble bundle.
Yeah, it'll be $5 before the year is over.
Thanks for the heads up. Sold!
Halloween sale.
I'm still uncertain if Far Cry 3's story is a really bad drama or a selfaware comedy. The dialogue and characters are so ridiculously developed. Good thing is that the island is great to explore and has some interesting secrets and details. Like now, I loved that I was running to a tower and heard two cars coming and my heart started racing "hope they aren't enemies and come after me right now."
Yeah I did, I actually just killed

To each his own
There is no sane world in which FO 3's vaults are more interesting than New Vegas's. FO 3's vaults are empty crawls with scatterings of random enemies. The only good vault is a joke vault whose joke wears thin after 30 seconds. New Vegas's vaults actually have stories, well crafted encounters, a variety of obstacles and solutions to those obstacles, and good rewards.
The rest I won't argue about, as it's a tired discussion at this point.

Yes, metro wasn't much optimized, I remember sub 10 fps during bubbles on the floor sequence with the previous gpu.
Gurumin is on greenlight and if you vote yes and join their group you'll get the game for free when it's greenlit. A shameless tactic, but the game looks okay (for a PSX game!) and it's made by Falcom.
Hypership Out of Control is also on greenlight. A pretty good score attack game. Remember playing it on the 360.

What the fuck, where was this a few days ago when I had to wait 72h for no response from Steam support followed by a refund to my Steam wallet as "a one time courtesy"?
That's really sad.
Where's grief.exe lately? Need him to put up those shots of Dark Souls 2 and Resident Evil 4 HD.
Happy birthday Turfster!
Wish for you to get your hands back to snuff and that someday you'll post about your game in this thread
I can't get over how creepy the faces look. The gameplay looks interesting though. A mix of third person cast spelling and first person, too.
Here's a webm and some pics from the match we had last night. Gonna upload the whole session to youtube, but encoding takes time. I'll post some more webms/images in the meantime.

You recorded that whole fiasco? Wow.
What a jank fest. And why are you looking up my skirt in that one photo?
VERTICAL DROP HEROES HD out on Steam in 11 hours! Procedural platformer RPG made by me, a one man developer.
And to celebrate, here's a raffle for one free Steam key.
Looks really cool. Entered, thank you, and good luck on your release!
Really sucks for people who paid full price for it. Fuckedup.
This is why everyone should have went and got an AMD silver or gold code.
It's a PSP game. And as anyone from the Vita thread will know, Totobeni swears by it's awesomeness. He made a believer out of me...
I'm not going to argue either as it's been a long time since I played Fallout 3, that's just the takeaway I had after finishing New Vegas. Might be rose tinted glasses, but overall the experience of New Vegas didn't have as much impact as Fallout 3 did with me. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed New Vegas and spent a stupid amount of time playing it, finishing it multiple times as I have every Fallout game, but it just doesn't stick in my mind like Fallout 3 did.

Damn I'm so good at Gods Will Be Watching, I can fail the first mission faster than anyone, I've got it down to a science, but seriously, this game is hard as hell, but fun to play and figure out how to handle the situation.
Had to take a break for lunch, but the whole time I was thinking of what I could do differently to beat the first mission, not many games make me do that. Look forward to seeing what else this games got in store.

does Fallout NV suffer from sewer dungeons as much as FO3? Because sewer dungeons got pretty tiresome after a while.
Nyet. F3 was nothing but sewers IIRC. NV is more about wandering about on a linear, restricted path as not to die by caldazore. Not much better, really.

You can manually add the games by using their storeid number i.e. http://store.steampowered.com/app/230230/, but you know, using SAM for Playfire stuff not the best idea in general.

There is one sewer section in New Vegas, if I remember correctly.
Good to read some positive views! I'm tempted. Love me a point and click adventure.

No, Fallout 3 was 50% subway system. I didn't mind it because it was like a real city / metro 2033, but NV takes place in a desert so only a few select sewers.
That's about the point where the main quest can diverge one of four ways. Though you don't quite lock in your end path as you still have the chance to cross, double cross and double double cross before heading out on the final stretch. I think my first time through was in and around 30 hours (I should stop being lazy and go check Steam) but I played through it with a mate whilst we were both suffering from a hangover and finished it in just under 5 hours in Hardcore mode. Once you know what you're doing you can knock the game out in no time but it does become a little tricky towards the end unless you grab a companion. Boone makes the game a cake walk even with the difficulty turned right up plus he has a sweet beret.
I've still got one ending to do and a couple of the DLCs to have a look out but as with everything I spend more than I play these days. I guess there really is a little JaseC in all of us.

I never liked FO3's "metro dungeons", too many copied assets.
Hm, that works. Weird, cause i've been trying to put in the steam id's that are listed in Steamdb, which always seemed to work before.
I don't see any wrong using SAM for play for the first time credits. Saves downloading lots of data just so you can boot the game, have a minute logged in, quit and uninstall. Shouldn't matter to anyone involved.

True, New Vegas does have a lot more Unique locations and NPCs. I am looking at the game through rose-colored glasses though
