I have spent some time to make it not run at 640x480 but at 1440x900 and now I regret spending it. :D
Thanks once again for this great game JaseC.

Pretty sure we'll find a way to get DR3 to run at 60 FPS or higher. Then again isn't a lot of stuff going on in the game that 30 FPS manages to make it not freak out on the XBone at least?

They give you the option to uncap it.

Most stuff like animations etc. is tied to 30 tho, so this will probably be a mess.

Didn't it start as as 360 game? Can't really blame them imo.

Oh, talking about kb/m and how it wasn't very good in the old games but they've put work into it. Switching on the fly works.

Pretty sure that it will be a worse port than RE4.

Watching the stream gives me the impression that they actually give a fuck. And RE4 isn't bad.

I still don't understand how this game is still for sale. All the cars are licensed and take damage, the game is about street racing, and it sucks. Not to mention this additional "content." How do they still have licenses and things like OutRun don't?
 
Yep. You have to do the girlfriend challenges and you will receive videos of the models dancing. The more challenges you do the less they will wear.

Was Batman Arkham City really good? I've only played Arkham Asylum and I really enjoyed it. $4.99 for AC -15% coupon discount seems too good to miss.

Apart from Dynasty Warriors 8 XL, the stuff I'm most interested in this year is pretty small. I'm hoping Platformines goes on sale. (I don't know anyone who's actually played it, but it looks like my kind of thing.) Aces Wild is another one I'm interested in - it reminds me of something Treasure might have done back in the Saturn days. I'd like to snag Starbound if it dips to -75%, though I'm not holding my breath for that, at least not this sale. Same thing for Broforce - I figure it'll get a deep cut eventually, but probably not for awhile yet.

Both games look really fun; added them to my WL. Let's hope this Summer Sale delivers the good.

How in this day and age aren't they doing frame-independent animations?
Seriously Capcpom.

The boxart looks fantastic.

I just love how the "PC CD-ROM" logo is a ripoff of Samsung's.

It's a brilliant load-balancing mechanic!
The more people watch the stupid footy, the less people are trying to hammer Valve's servers to death ;)
You may be right, I'll constantly reload the Steam pages during matches just to spite you :p

Turdminator, Buttman, Cheek Appeal, Happy Buttock...

Why don't I own this game yet?
Because it's not on Steam?

SteamGAF has been waiting for a Fils-Aime Simulator for ages, it's not gonna happen
I'm just waiting for Simulator Simulator at this point.

Grim Fandango's one of my favourite games ever but I'm more interested in seeing what happens with Phantom Dust, Crackdown, and Scalebound than I am in a HD remake. I think they're much more legitimate "megatons", especially the Platinum game.
Phantom Dust was a surprise, but a new Crackdown was eventually coming and I believe PG's game was rumoured for a while. GF HD came out of fucking nowhere, and something that people assumed (myself included) that would never happen due to the cancelled Day of the Tentacle Remake and the gutting of LucasArts by Disney.

What's WC?
Water closet
FIFA World Cup, one of the most watched events of the planet (I think it's THE most actually) and it starts tomorrow.

And I never said that Nintendo was "kids only". Where I was going with this is that Nintendo hasn't catered to what "gamers" want and started going after the more casual market, which kind of fits their IPs and such rather well.

Maybe they're making expanded efforts to try to convince "gamers" that they're more than just casual with these moves to procure games such as Bayonetta 2 and Devil's Third... they're kind of betting that these games will convince those people who did not buy a Wii U for the new Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Spinoff #673, or whatever itereation of their established franchises will win over the people who primarily game on PC/Sony/MS platforms. Nintendo is again reaching for the demographic that they perceive to be their weakness and where they are "missing opportunities for sales".
I know you didn't say that, but got grouped due to the point being made.
Having said that, what's your definition of "casual" exactly?
In any case, I think they are aware that said market is not within Wii U's reach anymore, what with 3rd parties abandoning the thing and all that, and just trying to get the people that are on the fence about it to finally buy it (like myself and several GAFers apparently).

What they don't realize, as far as I've seen anyway, is that it *should* take more than just an IP or two to get someone to want to invest in your platform and buy software for your system. Sure the "Nintendo Network" is free to use and I'm not super familiar with the changes made for Wii U at this point, but last I knew they were still using friend codes and missing things that the "core gamer" wanted years ago like achievements and a single account system. Just like the "core gamer" wanted HD and Online last gen and Sony stepped up and delivered on HD and struggled but managed to build a decent online competitor to Xbox, Nintendo had barely functional online, no achievement system for those who are interested, and eschewed HD saying that people didn't want or need it and they weren't going to assume the extra development costs to do it. When everyone started emulating Wii games on dolphin to get them in 1080p and Nintendo put out a new console, they finally came to realize they did need HD games. But they still have seemingly learned nothing from previous generations and are still stumbling through online features.
And Nintendo has a gazillion IPs.
The 3DS does have system-based Friendcodes for online play, but has support for NNID for eShop and such, which is unified so the same user works on Wii U and has optional "accomplishments" and everything (the true limit of Nintendo's system is that purchases are locked to hardware which is fucking terrible).
Also it's easy to shit on Nintendo for the lack of HD support on the Wii, without remembering that HDTVs were a rarity back then (and expensive as fuck too), they even admitted to doing that because they assumed the HD adoption would be far slower and that they were wrong on that. In any case the Wii's biggest problem was not the lack of HD, but the lack of a proper, updateable OS.

Looks like Gatling Gears is coming back to Steam soon as it now has Steam achievements. Used to be EA/Origin login on Steam before it was delisted.

I can't stop listening to that damn song, I don't think I ever even heard it when playing the PS3 version.

You should listen this one it's full of something I can't really describe.

...I'm tired, after a long day, I just sit for a bit, think about my life, close my eyes and decide to meditate for awhile. It feels empty but it's all good. This song is very simple but I found it to be deep.

Yeah that's definitely one of my favorites too, this one is another I really like too. Played during a pretty cool scene in the game.

not really digging how Injustice controls. you can't queue up a combo after a dash nor do it automatically. im really used to dashing ahead and back and doing 3-4 hit combos in games like MK but there's an annoying delay here

There's an update coming later today that'll fix a few things and make the achievements active! If you've gotten them already in game you can expect lots of pop ups when you play it after the update :)

well that DR3 talk sucks

specially about the canned animations. I initially took the 30fps comment as "it's gonna be hard as shit to run at 60 consistently" but if he's saying there's 30fps animations but you can uncap the framerate then yeah idk man

sounds lazy. dead rising 2 was alright as a port, i'd be disappointed with less
 

Sub Zero

his body's cold as ice, but he's got a heart of gold
Good luck. It obviously requires the base game to work

Good to know I won't need to play the game again from the start since I've already beaten the game, for sure there are still a lots of things that I've missed.

Oh god. There's going to be an achievement for Veni Vidi Vici, isn't there.

Is that that hard as f*** extra level with spikes everywhere? I have tried it like over a hundred times to no avail, I reckon I will never get that achievement *_*
 


Played for about an hour. Oddly enough, I didn't like the demo of the original that much when I played, but some reason, I'm really enjoying this new version. There's a layer of strategy underneath the run and gun gameplay that I'm finding really cool. Which gun is best for the current situation, should I rush for that power-up but risk having to run through a horde to reach it, which order should I use power-ups, which perks should I choose? The visuals are great, the effects and weapons are cool, and screen just gets flooded with enemies. Seeing the screen literally turn red with blood and gore is very satisfying. I only think Infested Planet tops this game in terms of enemies on-screen at one time.
---
I think the coolest aspect is how the varied enemies require you to totally change your tactics and influences the weapons and perks you'd want to use. It's not like some shooters where you can just get the most powerful weapon and kill everything.

If you're facing fast spiders that replicate when they die, then you're going to want a weapon that's accurate and precise but that fires and reloads fast enough that they won't close the gap, and power-ups that focus on crowd control and defense. Hordes of zombies? You'll want to go for the spray and pray type weapons or explosives and all-out offensive power-ups.

I haven't even touched the survival modes that much so I haven't really tested out any perks. The campaign alone is fun and difficult and constantly throwing fresh challenges at you, with interesting combinations of enemies
 
i dunno, i'll probably just use my ng++ character since respeccing means i don't really need to start the game from scratch to try new stuff. since this week is free twinkling titanite on the magic chest i've been thinking about starting a new character but i dunno, i'm a bit burned out

also bugs in the video didn't seem too bad, i'll prolly be ok. i'm just more interested about lore than anything what with the duke and seath and all. maybe we'll see where that big ass dragon came from


i'm pretty solid at going thru spidercove by now

it's kind of therapeutic and it's been my experience with dealing with this shit for years.

you just expose to it a tiny bit at a time until your mind stops caring so much

that and talking about my parents divorce with my therapist

magic chest? twinkling titanite? who who with the what now?

Wouldn't it be simpler to say "Dead Rising 3 PC is not optimized" instead to save a few characters?

HAHAHA

Well it took two years, but I might finally be able to finish the Final Challenge level after my checkpoint glitched.

Oh god. There's going to be an achievement for Veni Vidi Vici, isn't there.

Of course there is.

Played a bit of LEGO Marvel, the game is pretty good. And FYI, playfire's achievements aren't that hard to get at least the .10 ones and one .50.
