Support NeoGAF

[Portugeezer]

I know 99% of you guys are on Windows, is it time to upgrade to Windows 10 yet? I've been holding off mainly because I didn't want to go through the hassle with no real benefit in upgrading. How long is the update? Is it annoying?

Games' wise, is there a reason to upgrade now or in near future?

Far Cry Primal and Far Cry 4 map comparison - how similar are they?

- water ways eerily similar
- some impassable mountains changed
- looks like same template with certain places changed slightly to keep production cost down

Scalebound on PC, still no Halo.

Feck off.

 

[thesaucetastic]

One of the StarMade devs is on GAF I think, so hop on that giveaway^

Anyway, it's disappointing that the Final Fantasy games are only 50% off. Oh well, I wasn't expecting much in the first place.

played street fighter II on a building last night

This kind of thing is so fun, I went to like an art museum exhibit that was sort of like this.

There is always the Russia only Halo 3 online only thing to fall back on.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I guess I could try pinball for a $1? :/

I never understood why new tables were so expensive though

 

[Turfster]

Any source for that?

They sent out an email?

what exactly was wrong with them?

The current keys are for the lifetime edition

How do I get the music to play?

If/When either TMCC or Halo 5 comes to PC i cant wait to see the salt out of that announcement

I mean it's the last big MS franchise to not have a recent announcement for PC, right?

Yeah but I want all the Halo games without having to jump through legal hoops.

Despite MS's latest policy regards exclusivity, MCC I lost hope for somehow. Unrelated to MS but same goes for RDR. RPCS3 save us.

if rumors that Halo 5 seriously underperformed are true, i think that might force their hand.

if anything, i can see TMCC not coming over because it was cobbled together by like 5 studios and is likely a fucking coding nightmare to bring to another platform

Wouldn't buying games like Scalebound or Halo 5 on the PC require the Win10 store though?

I ain't throwing a dime at that piece of crap.

 

[William Bonney]

Looks like B is leading at 61%.

A shame really, A looks so much better. B looks exactly the same as the old 1996 cover art.

They should just ditch the original idea and use both A and B.

You guys didn't enjoy that HOT Windows Vista port of Halo 2? That probably might still be able to run in Win7, and almost certainly doesn't run at all in Win10.

I may as well since I'm only gonna play it on one or the other and between the two I'd rather play Platinum on PC.

I do not want to run the game at Platinum 30fps.

it might, yeah.

I wouldn't buy it day one or day 600 or whatever but if i could get it for around $10 at some point then why not? at that price, it's like a rental that i might keep

I don't recall it actually being that bad at the time. It just was weird seeing a console game ported the other way. And then looking at those textures and stuff compared to Farcry1 and the like was just... sad.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

it might, yeah.

I wouldn't buy it day one or day 600 or whatever but if i could get it for around $10 at some point then why not?

Well, I already own an Xbox One. I figure that if I can make the time for it, I'll just grab Scalebound on console. Then in a decade when I finally upgrade my computer, I'll get the PC version for practically nothing.

But I'm not convinced the Win10 store will last that long.

MS probably should have just went with Steam, but then again, Steam is too big already. Valve needs something that sorta resembles competition, their service is just going to get worse.

 

[Wok]

Any tip on what is the cheapest way to get a No Man's Sky Steam key so far?

Maybe there is a better discount than the -10% on Humble Store for Humble Monthly subscribers?

 

[corrosivefrost]

Exactly.

 

[Dsyndrome]

Was the current thread title always what it is now?

I plan to get the HB when I get home, I like pinball enough to get them since I'm missing all those tables.

Games' wise, is there a reason to upgrade now or in near future?

DirectX 12 will be exclusive to Windows 10, so you'll want to at least in the near future.

The update was pretty hassle free. I was going to do a clean install, but then just opted for the lazy way. Haven't had any issues since.

You must really hate things like much better performance with every single thing, better Windows Explorer, even better search and whatnot.

Scalebound on PC, still no Halo.

Feck off.

Not really suprising. Hurts me, since i have no intention of buying anything on the Win10 store anytime soon, yet i so want to play that game.

 

[Hero Prinny]

There is always the Russia only Halo 3 online only thing to fall back on.

its actually pretty fun too.

 

[Momentary]

Shit, I'm buying Scalebound Day 1.

Killer Instinct as well.

AND I'll be gettin dem Forzas.

Get a Canadian to get it for you.

And if you find one willing to, let me know.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

anyone here remember 3DMark03? I mustve run that thing dozens of times back in the day.

i miss awesome benchmark tools. SteamVR scratched that itch for a minute there though

tempted to find it somewhere and see how my 980 holds up lol

 

[Rhaknar]

Black Desert Online is doing absolutely nothing for me. I really am done with MMOs I guess /shrug

 

[Rhaknar]

I thought it was strange that I had a new sunless sea key in the page when I was getting the next games, I guess thats why

so...whoever won the sunless sea from my giveaway, hit me up I guess? :/

fspm claimed your Door Kickers key. There were 7 entrants.
yoshizzle claimed your Retro City Rampage DX key. There were 2 entrants.
Avinexus claimed your Sunless Sea key. There were 10 entrants.

Thanks again for being generous.

Avinexus I guess

edit: double poooooooooooooooooooost

Black Desert Online is doing absolutely nothing for me. I really am done with MMOs I guess /shrug

I'm still hoping someone sends me a guest pass code to see how it is. Game gives me some UO vibes, but some other things really don't make me feel like putting the money down.

Care to detail why the game does nothing for you?

 

[Black Soma]

I remember someone comparing Black Desert combat to Dragon's Dogma, I think? Are they really similar?

err no, not at all, at least not from what ive seen so far. Its like Tera or Blade and Soul. Its "targetless" mmo basically

How would someone with Windows 7 go about upgrading to Windows 10? Do I plug my Windows 7 key on some website or something, and follow some prompts?

 

[Dr Dogg]

Well you have to admit both Black Desert and Dragon's Dogma both have pretty sweet character creators.

i think you just use windows update?

Is it up to date? You should have recieved an annoying notification to update in your taskbar ages ago.

Anyone have any experience with using two monitors, one an Ultrawide/21:9 and the other just a standard monitor? Any tips on making that work out well.

Oh and yes, I'm a graphic artist, so I will be using all of the screen size.
