Nail'd it.

This makes me so sad that we'll never see DMC5. :\
I want more Nero, dammit.
Aw, just let him. It's endearing, like those videos of puppies fumbling over things.
Talking about the ports:
4 is excellent, the definitive version and all that.
3 is absolute garbage, better off with PCSX2 or the HD collection on console.

listen to the mad man
MRORANGE if you want to tally the postcount between threads a little faster
If you don't have python, you can forward me the list of the thread IDs and I can manually put them in myself.
Code:
import urllib
import bs4
import unicodedata
from collections import OrderedDict
from operator import itemgetter
# put threadids comma separated here
[b]threadids = [794669,825406][/b]
postcounts = {}
for tid in threadids:
print "Reading thread id "+str(tid)
page = urllib.urlopen("http://www.neogaf.com/forum/misc.php?do=whoposted&t="+str(tid))
p = page.read()
chunk = bs4.BeautifulSoup(p,"html5lib")
entries = chunk.find_all('tr',attrs={'class': 'threadbit'})
for e in entries:
poster = unicodedata.normalize('NFKD',e.find_all("td")[0].find("a").contents[0]).encode('ascii','ignore')
posts = int(unicodedata.normalize('NFKD',e.find_all("td")[1].find("a").contents[0]).encode('ascii','ignore'))
priorPosts = postcounts.get(poster) or 0
postcounts[poster] = priorPosts+posts
sorted = OrderedDict(sorted(postcounts.items(), key=itemgetter(1)))
items = sorted.items()
items.reverse()
for s in OrderedDict(items):
print (s+"\t\t"+str(postcounts[s]))If you don't have python, you can forward me the list of the thread IDs and I can manually put them in myself.
eh, I guess i'll try to set the card OC to default and try it out
it'd be a first tho.

But I give great gifts.
So you're one of those people.
*derExperte will remember that*
Truth is it's probably your PC being jealous of your 3DS and going 'so NOW you come crawling back to me? f' that.'
Don't you think that devil bringer is slightly too good? (><)
I think, DMC5 is still not out of the question. Then again, it might be wishful thinking on my part.

I'd honestly rather have Ducktales if I had to choose lol, it's really good.

You made a good choice.
After seeing Jim Sterling's video in the Air Control thread last night, I can see why it got that score.

Cryengine is on Steam now fro $9.00 per month. Don't get it:
1. Don't get access to full source code.
2. Don't get access to shaders source.
3. You can't use engine after you cancel sub.
4. You don't really get any developer support.
5. You don't have daily updates.
6. if you're considering it commercially, have a lawyer look over it.
I have a friend who was an ex Gears of War 3 and ex Crysis 3 developer that got the subscription today and immediately cancelled because the use of Phyiscally based Rendering is very limited and this is the most demanded next-gen feature. I read comments too: everyone is pissed off.

Oh man, Shadow Complex was one of my favourite games the year that came out. Sank so many hours into it, I'd snap it up on PC again day one.
Brings over?

Plus if it wins the current poll, it'll get a bunch of rewards.
You have my attention

Another of those, 'I think Evil Within will look good on PC,' posts. The game is done and just has another 5 months of optimizing and detail-adding, so that should be interesting to see. The build they showed most recently already looks better than the build we saw two months ago, so another five months should do wonders. Hoping they can fix that id Tech 5 engine issue of texture pop-in, but have my doubts.
And as a special thing for my birthday on the 8th, the price of entry will be a game for me. One game per person, unless someone wants to gift me more than that.
Thank you MrOrange, you're so kind for doing that <3

I like the 2.35:1 ratio, but that's more that I think it can do well with a horror game. If the game was always fast-paced, then it wouldn't work as well, as the angel gives more of a wide-spread and larger look at the immediate environment than a more vertical look. I think it looks good on slower-paced games, though.
My good people, here I was looking at my backlog when I started to think, while many people are joining PC gaming for the first time, many are also returning. It doesn't matter if they are not happy with the new consoles, finally saw the light, the long-term savings, etc. What I was thinking is that for those returning to PC gaming it's important to know that there are many great titles that still hold up. I'm thinking about older titles, let's say from 3-5 years ago (or more) that still manage to look good.
I know that "looking good" is really, really subjective considering that there are all sorts of GAFfers playing on all sorts of specs, monitors and so on but there might be some titles that we can all agree that still can deliver a satisfying experience to the eye as well to the gameplay itself.
Let me give you an example, I remember playing Dirt 2 with a family member on the PS3 back in the day but when I played it last November from start to finish on PC I was amazed at how good it still looks. This game was released in 2009, same with Mirror's Edge and it can look great. Alpha Protocol was released 4 years ago, Fallout 3, Dead Space is from 2008, Crysis and Bioshock are from 2007.
So I started to think what games I may have missed when I was temporary absent from PC Gaming and I was thinking if some of you would like to recommend some sort of "must play" for all those people returning to PC Gaming. The other reason is that I see every now and then newcomers joining the thread for the ultimate gaming experience but I believe that such thing can also happen with older titles because while they can still be very enjoyable they are often forgotten.

Is Flawless Widescreen recommended for Dark Souls 2? I'm thinking of running with a 21:9 resolution.
I'm a big fan of that 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Racers and 3rd person games really benefit from the added field of view.

I wish all my games had this soundtrack - DmC: Devil May Cry Soundtrack Selection (Full - 15 Tracks) Noisia and Combichrist
Haven't heard the rest but DMC's one is something else.

We sort of have a thread like that, though it focuses on newer games as well. It could definitely be more comprehensive than it is.
I'm thinking of a thread on par with the DS recommendations thread.

Same boat as you. I'm really enjoying skyrim so far. With mods on pc it's head and shoulders better than the 360 version I played years ago. Also, as a recent convert from console I am now addicted to Civ V

I think you mean 2009... Those are from the Dark Athena version.
Edit: Although I guess that isn't the point.

Enjoy game
Okay so I started playing Ravensword, which nightstorm gifted me.
In a word, this game is "rough." I understand it's a mobile port, but on PC it feels like an early access game. I actually went into the steam store to check if it was, but nope, it's full access. It's like Skyrim with a budget of two shoelaces and a button. The graphics feel about on par with Gothic 1. It's done in the Unity engine so I'm not sure exactly how much it's capable of, graphics-wise, and thus not sure how much I can complain in that regard. Left click to attack, right click to block, space to jump (and yes I managed to jump on top of my enemies and stay there for a good while. It's possibly the best goblin-surfing simulator I've played.) Pixel hunt to get in the right spot to search the bodies. Hit the button to search when you're not in the sweet spot? You just ate some food in your inventory.
When it comes to skills, there's an opening tutorial section where you're fighting with a sword and shield, and you build up your blade and defense skills. Then time passes to the start of the game, where you're handed a free sword. So when you start out on your quest, your sword skill is something like 18 and you have a sword, but if you want you can buy an axe or blunt weapon where your skill is 10. It would have been better if they'd allowed you to start out with a wepon of choice. That said, I eventually started using a club just because I'd maxed out my blade skill until the next level. They've also included a stealth system, which I have yet to succeed in once. You're sneaking around, and when you get close to an enemy, suddenly "You are no longer hidden" and you stand up. I thought i was out of energy to sneak, but it took me a while to figure out what they really meant was I was detected.
Apparently, there's one save file. You hit "save game"? It says "Game saved." If you quit to the menu, there's a button that reads "Continue" and a button that reads "Load Game", and I'm seriously hard-pressed to understand what the difference is.
And yet, despite all that, I'm still not sure I can call it a "bad" game. It feels like there's a little hidden potential in there, but it just needed time for people to work on it. However, It's 15 bucks in the Steam store. If you really have your heart set on a dated-feeling 3D RPG, the Bard's Tale is available for 10.
So thanks, nightstorm. So far it's been an experience.

Yep, they overhauled the visuals when they moved it to the Dark Athena engine.

Yup, and I feel like the one man alive who prefers the look of the original.
