Got my first gaming PC (thanks Need a new PC GAF). I've had a Steam account for a bit but haven't really been able to run most of the games I've bought until now. Is this thread used to exchange Steam ID's? Just wanted to add some folk, mainly. My Steam ID is retrobrando.
Been playing Undertale for a few hours today (just had to test my new PC muscle on it) and it's fantastic.
edit: just saw the Steam ID form in the OP, so I'll use that
Welcome!

Reception in a veterinary clinic, I stand most of the day but it's fine.
Thanks. Hoping to get funds lined up for a GAF giveaway later in the month.

Man... I'm really tempted by Stardew Valley. I remember playing the SNES one for a bit when it came out, but it was so long ago, I don't remember much of it at all. Would it be worth it to get Stardew or just play the SNES one that I have kicking around somewhere in my house?
Up top!
Down low!
Too slow!
My fucking main win 2TB drive is fucking dying.
This is after I fucking lost a weekend reinstalling a fucking mac mini after apple helpfully broke the fucking network drivers irreversibly.

I have a 970 and it runs just fine for me, in fact I kinda love the card. Sure the 980 is better but I'm certainly not unhappy with my 970 by any means.

The 970 isn't trash. People are idiots. I have two and a 980ti and my two machines that have the 970s in them are fine. Primal is probably one of the worst games to benchmark a card for. It's a Ubisoft game, and a really bad stop-gap one at that. Remember how bad FarCry 4 was broken at launch... Hell, it's still bad, I have a 980ti and still dips to 40fps randomly. Don't listen to people who don't know what they are talking about. AMD cards are ok, but spend a little extra money and get a much better brand. Nvidia is leaps and bounds better at driver support than AMD (I did hear they are getting better though, but still not able to compete with Nvidia)
If you are looking for a card to get you to play games at 60/1080 and can't wait at all and want the best bang for your buck, the 970 is great. I run my Oculus DK2 on it just fine and has no trouble pushing out 75fps to the rift. If you want something a bit better I'd say wait a bit as the 970 is a little old at this point, and everyone is thinking Nivida will bring out new cards soonish. If you can't wait but want a little more oomph... get a 980ti.
Why is this even being brought up again, I thought we were past this discussion in Sept 2014 when the 970 came out?!
If you don't have much attachment to Harvest Moon you could probably just sell it and play Stardew Valley and everything else you wanted to play right now and for much of the year.

That SNES HM price, holy cow.
Stardew Valley is really good. It scratches a major Harvest Moon itch while adding its own flair and charm.
I've only played HM64 though, so I can't compare the two directly.

Whewww, I was getting worried we wouldn't have a Warhammer game come out this week.
It's really getting ridiculous.

brb, going to check my basement.
edit : no Harvest Moon, but did find Earthbound. Damn. I know what I'm doing over the weekend.
Just thought we could use a play on The White March (Pillars of Eternity expansion) as the thread title, but I guess it's too late. What's up with current title, anyway? Can't say I get it.
Hmm. I usually like Conan, but those jokes about sex toys were kinda bad.

Obviously the sexy Ryu gif was just waiting to entice us.
I hate myself for selling my SNES and Harvest Moon among my library years ago now.

There an ETA on Slain? Anything that remotely resembles Castlevania has my undivided attention, even though games "like" Castlevania are usually generic garbage, especially "roguelike" stuff IMO. I just hope this one turns out better. It certainly looks cool.

All of these Warhammer games and none of them are a sequel to Space Marine.
yeah sci-fi souls is like a great idea but lords of the fallen was such a blegh game that it's hard to think that the ppl that made it 'get it'. i mean, there's potential there, but it fails so critically on the important stuff that it ends up feeling so pointless
also honestly i wish ppl didn't just replicate the mechanics but more importantly they'd try to emulate dark souls' design sensibilities
i think that can be applied to games that aren't melee oriented, or that don't have a stamina bar, or that they're not even action games

i mean, sure, but it's probably ppl being enthusiastic about something they love rather than like something for their own benefit or whatever. i just really don't like that kind of marketing tactic cos it turns ppl into annoying drones and if you're gonna tell me superhot is a cool game use your own words, don't copy pasta some promotional crap

Space Hulk: Deathwing is probably the closest thing to Space Marine.

Actually have it! It's not really bad but not grabbing me much either. The game design feels weird to me in some ways.

It's a bummer because there is such rich lore for them to tap into and I feel like Space Marine didn't even scrape the surface.

Sega can make a space marine 2 happen.
If only there was a way to remind them of the game, like a survey or something.

That would be great, I would remind them about Frame City Killer.

I didn't think it was THAT bad, I quite enjoyed it. I do think the game did try and have you too much and shove in some really bad racetrack segments, but it was about 20 mins out of the whole game (I 120%ed it again last month for the second time with all the DLC too, and it was enjoyable as a podcast game while waiting for Tomb Raider to get released on the PC)
i don't like to give money recommendations cos money means something different to each, so can't really tell you
for me 40 bucks is a lot of money but the witness wasn't really a game i was gonna wait for a sale or whatever. some games i really like playing on release to be part of the conversation and this was definitely one of them, analyzing where it succeeds and where it fails and comparing my experience to others was really important to me personally, and even if i struggled to get a grasp of what the game was really about i feel like i'm there now and i can really appreciate what it's trying to do
so yeah i can't tell you about money but if you like puzzle games and you like critically thinking about games mechanics and game design then it's probably gonna be a really good idea to pick this up. it's not quite as approacheable as braid but i find some things about it are more sophisticated and may be a better reflection of blow as a designer than what braid did. some other things are a bit questionable but even those are a good point of conversation
so yeah idk, it's a game i've been following for a long while and i had a lot of expectations for. ymmv if that's not the case for you
Nah...I'd rather reminds them of Binary Domain, a game that has no chance of existing.
