STEAM | November 2014 - Ride of the Valkyries

I know, right?
It also apparently no longer autoselects a random choice when skipping dialog.



It was half a joke. Bioware games haven't had jump buttons, even when they really could use them.
Come join us!

Also last nvidia driver made the game run a lot better, it's like black magic.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Also, I'm rolling AMD on the main gaming system =p

Its running about the same for me on my nvidia 660.
Never goes below 30 but it fluctuates. However it seems to stay at 45fps.
This is with the "optimal" setting from the nvidia Geforce Experience.
Think I just need to mess around with it. Hate how you have to reset the game.

At least it's not on CoD:AW's level.

Yeah the stuff I heard there made me pass it.
While I would like a steady 60FPS expierence, i'm still really enjoying the game so i'm fine with how it is. Will be nice to play later with a better Graphics Card. Hopefully I have one by the time the DLC hits.

Journal is kind of gloomy. It does a good job of providing you with an authentic experience of talking to a rude homeless man on the street out of desperation after you've lost the very few friends you had despite trying to do your best.

You guys seriously think the new REREmake screens look good?

All I see are badly upscaled backgrounds, and it makes me sad.

Some of the shots in the post linked earlier looked fine, if obviously not how it was originally intended. That shot in particular did not fare very well. I've had the unpopular opinion since the start that it looked ugly as sin. Some of the more recent shots have come out looking far better though, so I haven't written it entirely off yet.

The game untouched looks great to me so anything they do to improve it is just icing.

I never asked for a remaster in the first place, I would've been happy with just a port.

I posted about this earlier, based on some side-by-side comparisons I saw, I really prefer the original even despite that it's in inferior resolution.

Can't answer your question as I'm wondering the same thing too.

But since it is the same subject, what are the inherent disadvantages to using a TV as a monitor instead of an actual monitor itself?

EDIT: It's Chariot's birthday? Happy birthday Chariot!

I'm just curious... trying to see how playing Aliens on the big screen would be like

and Happy Birthday Chariot :D

I wish they'd just leave the backgrounds untouched rather than this whatever god awful filter they are using. It's especially jarring when a part of the scene is obviously had a new 3d modeled blob inserted in there, but the rest looks like poop. It's such an uneven and half-assed look. REmake deserves better.

Though like I said in the other thread as well, they still have some times until the pc etc versions come out, so maybe they are still working on some of the worst rooms. But they really should have a nearest-neighbor scaled backgrounds in there as an option.

Wrapped up game #101 of the year:

Pretty much the Call of Duty experience without shooting, explosions and jingoism.
So, way, way better than Call of Duty.
 
Today is pretty much the 19th so it's my 20th birthday and one year anniversary on NeoGAF!

It's been around five months since I found the Steam thread and as a result, I gained 750+ games to my Steam library (haven't been able to play much though, why did I have to take seven courses this term OTL). Thank you all for the game recommendations and reviews! I really enjoy my time here! :D

Here's something back. Mostly bundle stuff, but hopefully there's something for everyone.

Also, please be my friend. :)

Woah. I'm only at 36, which is less that last year's 45. Then again, it's been a very busy year for me.

Happy Birthday Chariot and WinterDemons.

Come to think about it, I don't have a very clear idea of what the average age of people in this community is. I'm 21, for example.

Happy Birthday, WinterDemons (and congrats on the anniversary!) - hope you can spoil yourself with yet another new game today, or have some quality gaming time.

Great giveaway, too - thanks. Some great titles in there.

Alright SteamGAF, headin out for a road trip til next tuesday. I'll be at the mercy of shitty hotel wifi and unstable cell phone signal til then so if I can't keep up with you, don't get us moved into Gaming or anything while I'm gone. I'll be back, assuming the state of Florida doesn't kill me while I'm down there. Stay lovely <3.

Wow. I just played 7 hours of Far Cry 3 instead of sleeping :D
I didn't know this was the game I've apparently been longing for all month. I'm so happy I got Far Cry 4 too so I can keep playing when it's over :D

Today is pretty much the 19th so it's my 20th birthday and one year anniversary on NeoGAF!
Many conga rats to you! Happy birthday!

Florida has zombies. Be careful.
 
Does it have Optimus? That thing is still screwy.

I dont think so? It mostly has to do with my cpu, my video card is evidently okay.

I have a i7 4700HQ at 2.4Ghz while the minimum is an i5-750 2.6 Ghz

Oh well this laptop is doing me well although its a big fucking distraction when i take it to class. When it dies, I'll get myself a rig. That'll give me some time to save up haha

divinity's crafting system is pretty mindblowingly half-baked, there's like hundreds of recipes and uses requiring different skills and anvils and shit but then it's just a mess to actually do it, it's crazy

i wonder if they'll do a big patch some day and actually finish it some day

i really wish divinity was over already, it definitely didn't manage to keep me hooked this long, tho i think the way it develops its story is really good and new spells are cool and all that, but i think quest design has lost quality and the combat is not getting much more interesting. plus there are ton of these annoying ass pixel hunting puzzles

i really wanna run play valkyria but i need to finish this first -__-

Bummer... was actually looking to get this. :(

how could you
