A new year, another Easter Surprise box from Square Enix
I got burned last time because half the Square bundle was also in the Humble Square Enix Bundle 3 for cheaper a couple days later. I'd rather use the money for the Humble Monthly bundles.
Lol, I remember that so well
"Hey guys, preorder this mistery box of awesome games for cheap!"
*like on day or two later a Humble Bundle with most of the games included in the mistery box happens and costs half the price :lol
Anyone that preorders a mistery box from them after that deserves the dissapointment

I know, but I can hope
Also, FFXIII was in the last bundle, so maybe this one will at least have FFXIII-2. I would be ok with that.Large Professor

I suppose there isn't a way to make the characters in Trails look less blurry?

Furi: Full Boss Fight Gameplay
Gunjack hitting Rift and Vive soon (trailer)
A "stationary" shooter. Don't understand why they didn't release a 60fps video seeing how quick the movement is.

Excellent music, I would love to have the entire soundtrack composed by Carpenter Brut.

How is the new DX12 patch for TROTT performing especially with VXAO?

Is adventures of Pip worth it for 3$?
... Fatal Frame?
Maybe ? Be aware that offline is a completely different save tho. I didn't think loadings were bad though , I have it installed on a HDD and its pretty decent.

tHANKS Again everyone
I've made a huge mistake
It is 1 AM
I was half asleep
I decided to play Deathsmiles, that new BULLET HELL game, anyways
Had a blast
but still
It was a huge mistake
Never play bullet hell games whether you are drunk or half sleep/groggy
That is not an experience you want to put yourself in.

Yes it is! It's one of my 2015 GotY contenders and is a fun 2D platformer.
Look past the graphics and go in for the gameplay and you may enjoy it.
Plus, stages are short allowing for short bursts, so you could beat 1-2 stages a day at least for example

Do you need to send the email with just that subject line or do you need to copy paste that email too?

Happy Birthday, Tizoc. Today's a good day for a birthday
VXAO doesn't work with DX12. DX12 perfomance is worse than DX11 for Nvidia at least.
Also Happy Birthday, Tizoc!

The game looks and sounds really nice, but that battle just felt way too long. I'm not sure I would actually want to play a game where a boss has 6 phases, unless there is some generous check-pointing in place.

The $375 Rise of the Tomb Raider PC - PC vs Xbox - Rise of the Tomb Raider Graphics Comparison
I am very surprised how the Potato Masher managed to trump the Xbox version with RotTR of all games.
- on Xbox: shaky 30fps, 1080p ingame, 1440x1080 during cutscenes
- AMD TressFX on Xbox (likely) and Nvidia PureHair on PC look identical
- on PM: 1080p@30fps, very high settings, apart texture quality on high
- similar visuals to Xbox besides HBAO+, more tessellation, sun-soft shadows, very stable 30fps
- impossible to get 60fps@1080p at very low settings, at 900p 60fps possible on low settings apart cutscenes
- 60fps with high settings at 720p very possible, difficult to tell apart high settings from very high ones
- 1440p@30fps with medium settings stable, 4K unplayable
For such a visually impressive game like RotTR to have a good showing on the Potato Masher surprised me when I think of the other recent games it struggled at.
I do have to say that even with my fairly powerful PC, attaining a stable 60fps throughout all areas was very inconsistent. Maybe the Xbox was primary focus during dev and LODs and whatnot didn't get optimized enough for a consistent 60fps experience on PC. I didn't mind it much though since pegging a few settings a notch down solved my issues.

Until he shows Geothermal Valley stable at 30FPS i don't believe him
30 shouldn't be hard there. It's 60 that's impossible, from my experience.

Big Steam Controller update. It adds user definable action sets that you can switch to at any time. It'll be like having multiple configs in one, where you jump to one by pressing a button. They also give you the ability to add the keyboard and screenshot key to any button.

The dialogue doesn't have any voice acting in english and I do believe it was the same for the japanese version.
And the limited voice acting was good.

Guys, Miracle Fly is a good game, ok?
Own it, but I'm too scared to play it. Last time I tried to stream Amnesia I whimpered so much I was asked if I was crying. ;_;
I had drops on my GTX 760 there even on medium settings.

Not Steam related but good visuals are an overlapping theme I'd say. Ratchet and Clank looks incredible. The animations and colorful world. Wow.
That's interesting since the Potato Masher has also a 760 but with a - I assume - much older CPU than yours.
Ah thanks. I'll just play FC as it is and see what it's about.
I hope somebody comes up with a really great config for Final Fantasy XIV.

Ah, I was speaking from my experience with a 970. It definitely drops the most in the hub areas, specifically being worst in geothermal valley. I was getting mid to high 40s in there. normally it wouldn't bother much much, but it was a jarring transition to suddenly be at 43, 47 or whatever when it had been running so smoothly at 60 before that.
This didn't happen enough to make me want to lock it at 30, but it was still something I found rather annoying...
Seeing you have a potato masher of your own, or at least something similar, I'll defer to you on the 30fps drops.
I had a 770, but it was upgraded long before RotTR actually released.
I wonder if they'll ever add xinput for non-Steam (or even just non-Steam overlay) games
That's really the only thing keeping it from being my perfect controller
I bet

There are still problems with the latest Nvidia drivers? Just installed it early this morning and no trouble so far. Running on a solo monitor setup though.

They patched the issues and released a new one yesterday I believe. So you already got the well working drivers
Directly? How did he install the drivers another way? Updating through Geforce Experience can lead to issues and it's best advised to check "new installation" during driver installation.
That's what my friend used to remove the nvidia stuff. Deleted nvidia folders too along with trying to download the drivers directly. Windows 10 also attempts to update the drivers but it fails

Geforce Experience was failing. So was downloading it from the website

I would not be surprised.
