Support NeoGAF

[toddhunter]

Still curious about all the hype surrounding W3. Did i miss something or does a lot of it seemed to be people thinking it will fill the skyrim void on current gen consoles?

I can't see it filling the Skyrim void. Instead it'll be a long and boring game filled with tedious tasks like collecting herbs in a huge but ultimately empty world....with boobs.

Man if I could go back in time to when GAF was all hype for the XBone and the PS4 just to tell them that the specs of these consoles are gonna be lower than a PC from before the specs were revealed....
Oh how smug I would be~

They would probably point out that all that extra power is only useful in the modern age for crap like Assassins Creed Unity...and wipe the smile right off your face.

 

[Sarcasm]

Specs aren't everything, man. Consoles have the unique feature of being playable from your couch, a feat completely impossible to achieve with a PC. Something about drivers and settings goes here too I think.

Sarcasm is very hard to detect online.

So exactly like skyrim than. Minus boobs.

Sometimes this feels like Game of Thrones and SteamGaf is just pulling strings to release salt.

I'm expecting backlash after a week.

People who couldn't last 20 minutes in W1 & 2 somehow thought Witcher 3 will be the new game of all time and a tech milestone at that.

 

[Uzzy]

We should make a thread for that as well. Sometimes this feels like Game of Thrones and SteamGaf is just pulling strings to release salt.

He who controls the salt, controls the GAF.

Well that's what mods are for.

The thing is, it can be as bad as I'm expecting...and still be loads better than Dragon Age Inquisition or Skyrim.

So... what can you do.

I really need to use wireless when playing PC games with my DS4 already @o@

I'm gonna hazard a guess and say there's a mod for that.

 

[freshVeggie]

Can't use my DS3 wireless on Win8.1 anymore. Always have to have usb cord plugged.
It worked wireless in Win7. Anyone know something?

 

[Chariot]

I don't know about downgrades, but the graphics in that video look very good to me, considering the scale of the game.

GAF is full of exlerts who can judge entire fames by pictures and gifs alone. It's really concerning how that thread is full of assumptions when we have plenty of live video material of the game.

A chunk of people would get a heartattack, like anytime Joe gets a thread

 

[BruteUA]

Thanks, going to order a set of these.

Yeah, I was just watching an Xbone video from the release version, and even that looks really good. Dunno why are they crying havoc like that, but I guess that people need something to keep them busy.

Reading that thread makes me want a Whopper. The local Burger King has been out of commission for a few years, but I drove by, and they appear to be rebuilding it. I need doublestackers in my life again.

 

[wilflare]

:O downsampling seems to make so many games (old ones) look so so soooo much better.

and I really need to go get a new HDD to replace my now dying Steam drive :/

Holy shit the Sir Hammerlock DLC for Borderlands 2 is fucking terrible. And I like Borderlands and I liked the two previous DLC campaigns just fine. This one just doesn't respect the player at all.

 

[toddhunter]

This one just doesn't respect the player at all.

It is DLC for people who purchased Borderlands 2 and want to spend money to buy more. Seems to me whatever lack of respect it is showing is going to be well deserved

I still haven't played that or the Tiny Tina DLC, I was re-installing to finish my Krieg/DLC playthrough. not good to hear.

 

[Shalashaska]

And here we go. W3 downgrade thread

It's times like these that I'm glad that I'm not a graphics whore. It's never been a big thing for me, only time I personally care is changing settings just to get my game playing somewhat smooth on my relatively old PC.

 

[electroflame]

Yeah, it's by far the worst story DLC. The area is bland and uninteresting, far too much back-and-forth and the quests are pretty cookie-cutter, even for Borderlands.

That's what I'm thinking as well.
Bring on the downgrades!

 

[jaundicejuice]

The Witcher 3 is an open world rpg versus The Witcher 2 which is traditional rpg with much smaller environments, you're just not going to get the same level of visual fidelity in an open world game...but those builds they were showing off a year or two ago.

Whatever happened, CD Projekt RED deserves to be taken to task as much as Ubisoft was over the Watch_Dogs bait and switch. Or Gearbox over Aliens Colonial Marines.

 

[Ozium]

so it seems like groupees wont be getting any more boxes with guns keys, they gave some out to some people (allegedly) but many others didnt get a key... what's funny is that this was a free bundle (for people who have already bought from groupees) and those that paid for it don't have keys at all..

thanks turfster

 

[spindoctor]

Finally 'completed' GTA 5

And by 'completed' I mean there's a ton of stuff still left to do. It's a fake 100% as Jasec calls it.

I love this game so much though. Hard to see anything releasing on PC this year that will be better than it.

 

[Atraveller]

19.99 for Wasteland is pretty good considering the GOTY upgrade announcement coming later this year.

Bought it for 10 dollars months ago, am very satisfied.

Agreed, lashman is buying games faster than him these days, we'll soon have a new king.

An invisible king!

... aaaand we're done here

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

no.

 

[Majukun]

is there any way to activate a game that appears on nuuvem as region locked on steam?

 

[lashman]

no.

yes

oh wow not for nothing but those are pretty noticeable upgrades. Its still a really nice game tho

 

[freshVeggie]

Region-locked keys can be activated in the Steam client by using a VPN (FlyVPN). Close Client > Open VPN > Set a South American country > Open Steam and activate key > Close client > Close VPN > Done!

BUT you have to check (or ask here ) specifically which game you are looking to buy. I think there are games which cannot be activated even with VPN. Not sure though.

Tiny Tina DLC is fantastic. Definitely worth a play through.

My steamdb-fu is very limited, so don't hold me on it but I think you should be fine.

Better wait till JaseC or someone else confirms though. I am guessing from looking at packages tbh.

FM2015 keys from South American region don't have run time lock, should work fine.

The key is region-locked but the game itself isn't.

There you have it. I knew more than I thought.

Both Scarlet.Crush and MotioninJoy have worked for me on Windows 8.1. You sure your driver is installed correctly?

I am using SCP. I did normal install, forced install, deleted everything and reinstalled. No clue anymore.

Weird.
Is the controller properly paired with the bluetooth dongle?
Does the bluetooth dongle work with normal bluetooth devices when using normal drivers?
Have you tried the Zadig method of installing the SCP bluetooth driver?

what is this

Same thing as

 

[dreamfall]

All these Witcher 3 graphics complaints, I just want it in my veins.

I didn't have a PC at the time, and played it twice through on 360. Replayed it again this past month on PC after nearly a year and a half, and it's still one of the best games ever. Team Yennefer~!

aw yiss. time to annihilate peeps

 

[DriftedPlanet]

So I've been pushing myself through The Last Tinker, game is solidly boring but its easy and makes me feel better having something I'm "playing" while watching youtube. Came into a area of depressed folks and a catchy song popped in on the video I was watching at pretty much the perfect time.

Here.

 

[iosefe]

would anyone bat an eye if i also grabbed Strife?


*edit* looks like a yes

Anyone have a spare STALKER: Call of Pripyat?
