so basically 8-bit commando is to Contra what Oniken is to Ninja Gaiden

which is to say; the same game

I haven't played it yet but it seems so...

 

[wetflame]

Get it and make your dream Hawkguy Visual Novel game.

God, don't even joke. That's a fantastic idea. BRO.

 

[Gibbo]

How do the old call of duty games fare? Thinking of buying the warchest on Amazon. Played cod 1 years ago on a shifty pc, but have never played United offensive. I'm guessing there aren't any texture mods around?

 

[pahamrick]

Going commando...

Thanks for this! I regretted not snagging this in a bundle the couple times I saw it.

 

[danielcw]

For the last 24 hours I had the problem,
that Steam shows wrong offline times of my friends.

They all show the same time, and it is usually a very short one, like x minutes ago.

Using regular Windows Steam client, and mobile Android client.

I dreamed about Steam family sharing this night.

Going commando...

Thanks for the giveaway.

Murdered: Soul Suspect IOTI Murderded by Metacritic.

Almost the same score as Alpha Protocol.

I started up RE5 for the first time recently and now I'm debating just holding off hoping for a Steamworks patch. Not because GFWL is screwing up, but more for maybe playing when there are more people because the game is definitely missing something playing alone. It's pretty much a worse version of RE4 in every way so far other than the tension of not being able to pause to go into the inventory. That doesn't make up for lack of inventory tetris or babysitting the AI though.

Almost the same score as Alpha Protocol.

Oh right. Didn't know.

Anycan can reccommend me the optimal settings for AMD HD 7790 with reso 1440x900?

I think they have aged pretty nicely on their own. Widescreen is easy to implement as is anti-aliasing.

Leave as system controlled and modify as you go per game is fine.

 

[Durante]

Almost the same score as Alpha Protocol.

Alpha Protocol sits at 72 though.

Anyway, I'm interested in Murdered.

 

[Milamber]

Honestly, from watching some videos, Murdered doesn't seem that bad. I really would like to know how it'll perform on PC though.

I'm actually excited to check out Murdered once it hits that $10 price point.

According to teokrazia in the Review Topic (who wrote a Spanish review, giving the game a 7/10 and liked it), he says that the PC version is pretty solid, but has a few flaws. You can't rebind keys in-game (ini file rebinding) and using V-Sync will cap the FPS at 30.

they're goin after that filmic feel

The question being, is it Arkham Asylum/DmC UE3 or BioInf/Enslaved UE3?

 

[Servizio]

Wait...Which ones are the good ones?

 

[Knurek]

Wait...Which ones are the good ones?

Engine-wise? AA and DmC run 60 fps on a toaster. BioInf has stuttering/texture load issues for other folks, Enslaved has periods of extreme (0 fps) stutter.

 

[kurahador]

Alpha Protocol sits at 72 though.

Only the PC version.

 

[Salsa]

every time I think about alpha protocol I miss that crouch walk animation

I've really been wanting to do another playthrough as just Archer: The Game

 

[Tizoc]

Can I port beg in here?

DmC 2013 at 60 FPS with maxed out settings is like a work of art hnnnnnnnnnnng.

 

[Knurek]

Can I port beg in here?

Well, we're all pretty much guilty of that here.

 

[kurahador]

lol...it was the reason I stopped playing.
Glad I gave it a chance.

 

[Falexandre]

Anyone?

Since the last beta update I can't seem to be able to set my library grid view to "gap less mode".
Altering the gamespage_grid.layout file to values below 10 just causes Steam to re download the file.
Any ideas? Anyone with the same problem?

 

[Knurek]

Anyone?

Maybe Steam changed the way it handled the file, previous versions just checked filesize.
Make sure you add spaces/remove comments after modifying to match the original filesize, if that doesn't help, sorry...

 

[Authority]

Thanks.

This is a stupid question but if I want to lock a game at a specific frame rate I must always have VSync as always on and tribble buffering on right?

Also and reposting,

Spoiler

PC Master race FTW.

I wonder how come users in consoles rate it so low while users on PC praise it. This is odd.

Have this happened before with user scores? The difference seems significant.

 

[JaseC]

Anyone?

For values below 10 you want to to place a 0 in front of the number. 09, 08, etc. Steam's re-downloading the file because you're replacing two numbers with one, thus changing the file size.

It's also worth noting that you don't have to change the spacing value in the skin's own layout file -- just Steam's general one in resource\layout is enough.

I had it like this for months, I have no idea why it started doing this now.
And the changing the skin file doesn't seem to do anything.

 

[fantomena]

I wish you will apologise to RadMonkey, and request (not wait for a punishment to be meted out, but to actively approach him) that your steam account be unlinked from your GMG/PlayFire account, that all your credits be removed, and that you be banned from the PlayFire service. After all, you have demonstrated that you cannot be trusted with this service, which is in part based on trust that you are not using SAM.

I wish you also apologise to Copons and r3n4ud, who asked that we stop admonishing you and to move on. You have failed their trust.

Thank you for reading.

I'll do that. Sorry for using it on Prototype 2 though. Already suggested an unlinking.

Btw, what does that have to do with my reviewing anyway?

 

[JaseC]

The margin setting isn't tied to the absolute lowest zoom level. Fiddle with the slider if you're not seeing any effect.

Edit: Oh, derp, I got it the wrong way around. What I meant to say is that you don't need to change the value in the skin's layout file since Steam's general one overrules it.

This is not a post to flame someone, nor is it a post to drive someone out of Gaf. It serves to highlight an issue of integrity, and it is something some of Gaf (which includes me) feel quite strongly about. Please do not send hate mail or flame said person in question. Please be gentlemen/ladylike.

I'd say I'm surprised. But i'm not surprised.

I probably shouldn't say anything, but whatever:

We have people who enjoy Bioshock Infinite

come at me, Todd

Honestly, from watching some videos, Murdered doesn't seem that bad. I really would like to know how it'll perform on PC though.

I'm pretty interested in it, looks pretty 'Heavy Rain'-y.

I'll do that. Sorry for using it on Prototype 2 though. Already suggested an unlinking.

he's just questioning your integrity, nbd.

I really liked how he equated BioInf fans with people who actually do scummy things.

I guess I'm the scum of the earth.

If you really can't differentiate between moralities, then you got a problem.

See what I'm saying?

Oh God. I'm nearly caught up on Archer and hadn't even considered this. Guess thats Watch_Dogs out the window tonight so I can restart AP.

So far I have PMd radmonkey to unlink my Steam account and delete my credits.

Welp, there goes Batman into 2015. I guess WB won't have to worry about it cannibalizing Shadow of Mordor sales at least.

That's scummy

Damn.

Welp, there goes Batman into 2015. I guess WB won't have to worry about it cannibalizing Shadow of Mordor sales at least.

I had a feeling it'd slip. I found it odd that Mordor went up for pre-purchase but Knight didn't even though they were just a week apart.

 

[Knurek]

Welp, there goes Batman into 2015.

Good, this way it won't cannibalize the proper Batman game releasing this year.

 

[Sub Zero]

I can't seem to find any traders doing Rise of Nations 4-pack openings. Is there a region lock or something?

 

[JaseC]

Yes:

- Rise of Nations: Similar to the above, only the four-pack is region-locked, but this has been the case since it went up on the store

 

[RavenValor95]

Bye bye batman
I'll see you and Witcher 3 in 2015. ;-;

For those that care, apparently the Payday 2 developers got Gus from Breaking Bad to be their new contact for the next set of heists (first one comes out on June 17th). Don't worry, it's he'll be still pretty corny if the announcement/teaser trailer is anything to go by. Hopefully this means some more substantial DLC like the Shadow Raid and Election Day heists and less weapon packs.
