Bought Dragon Age: Inquisition from the Ukrainian store! Thanks for posting that!

Hope EA doesn't get mad at me ;p

 

[JaseC]

Act of War: Direct Action was pulled. Not sure if its due to the compatibility issues or if Atari sold the rights back to Eugen or someone else.

I'd guess the former. If it were due to the rights changing hands High Treason would have been yanked also, although maybe it's supposed to be gone as well and someone just didn't do their job properly.

They might get Madden at you, but since you are on PC you should be safe

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week

 

[Hero Prinny]

Hmmm. Maybe I should just wait for dragon age instead... I recently installed the original and I still haven't staeted bayo 2(nearly done with the 1st) and just got smash for Wii u.

 

[fantomena]

Will do. When it's on Steam.

Origin isn' that bad.

 

[Annubis]

I'm calling Nabs and any other fighting game fan out

I just found out about Pocket Rumble and this my friends is the next Lethal League. This has to see release. It has neo geo pocket style and ggpo online. Not only that it has some fucking awesome training modes like Skullgirls to help people that are new to fighting games.

Do the right thing and vote for this on greenlight.

This looks like the perfect introduction to fighting games.

Is Lone Survivor cheap anywhere or on a bundle? I've seen a few giveaways on steamgifts and I missed the game when it was bundled previously.

 

[denx]

Bit of a noob question: what program do you recommend to get FPS displayed on the screen while playing a game?

This reminds me I haven't yet tried the Director's Cut. I loved the game when I played it yonks ago, so I should give it a try.

I use Fraps, it's pretty bad.

You could use msi afterburner. It shows more than just fps.

 

[JaseC]

Origin isn' that bad.

It's not that I hate Origin, it's that I haven't played the preceding entries in the series. Contrary to what my Steam purchasing habits may suggest, I'm not averse to using other DD services if need be.

 

[brotkasten]

Have there been any news on a remastered version of Rise of Legends for Steam?

MSI Afterburner

Thanks, gonna try that.

But since you are buying games all the time no matter what, what's the problem to buy Inqusition?

 

[JaseC]

But since you are buying games all the time no matter what, what's the problem to buy Inqusition?

I don't use/care enough about Origin (or B.net or GOG or Uplay*) to buy a game just to have it. I'll buy Inquisition when I'm ready to play it.

* Well, Tintin is something of an exception because, being a licensed game, it's a ticking time bomb. It was better to buy the game sooner and get to it later than wait and miss out entirely.

 

[fantomena]

Btw, if I use steam family sharing. Can both be logged into the account on the same time, but not play the same game?

 

[JaseC]

Btw, iif I use steam faimly sharing. Can both be logged into the account on the same time, but not play the same game?

You can't be both playing a game from the one library full-stop. Concurrent logins are fine, though.

Edit: The only way around the lack of concurrent game access is for the library owner to go offline when playing something. Obviously this is only practical when it comes to single-player titles or games that use a third-party MP solution, though (e.g. playing CS:GO online isn't possible when using Offline Mode).

 

[fantomena]

You can't be both playing a game from the one library full-stop. Concurrent logins are fine, though.

So we can both be logged in, but we can't play even different games from that library?

 

[JaseC]

Correct. I expect Valve to eventually relax that rule a little bit, though.

Your joke make me sad. Cause I actually want Madden on Steam :/

 

[Vuze]

Bit of a noob question: what program do you recommend to get FPS displayed on the screen while playing a game?

I use ShadowPlays FPS counter (if you have a Nvidia GPU), since I have it running anyway.

I'm game. See me the end of May.

Late to the party, but I finally got Bayonetta 1 and 2 for my birthday.
(Also got Legend of Korra blu-ray's since I really enjoyed the game and want to watch it again)

Happy Birthday?
Happy Birthday!

Steam is really good and has the most games I want but man those few titles they are missing... they stick like a needle.
What I would give to get Mercenaries 2 on Steam. And I have at least 30 games wishlisted on GOG. And no matter how stupid it may sound, I'd like to have everything at one place :/
I'd buy much more from GOG if purchases there would have Steam-keys as well.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

That's cause my jokes are deep and full of meaning. Like a crying clown.

Why is there no Madden on PC anyway?

I would take the one with 21 reviews vs the one with 2. Only difference i see, is the weight.

Thanks, I was wondering why there was 2 listings!

If someone does the whole rigamarole and gets me an origin key, I will paypal them the money for it, how's that =p

Nope, it just means that I have a certification that would be one more way I could be useful to Valve.

so....what kind of CPU is needed to see benefits from AMD's Mantle? I enabled it for Dragon Age and it crushed my FPS even on the menus. Didn't change any settings (everything High).

I have a 2500k, not powerful enough?

Mantle is all about reducing CPU overheads. Basically, the better your CPU = the less CPU-limited you are = the less useful Mantle is.

Mantle uses AMD GPUs, I don't think the CPU matters much and 2500k should be fine.

Both are great games and get the Ningen seal of aproval.

Oh didn't know that. Was still expecting something other than worse than DX11 hah.

I have AMD, just was wondering why performance is worse with it enabled.

I did a scheme on how FFXIII works:

If you find the boss battles and cutscenes boring, then why are you even playing the game? Nobody is forcing you to.

 

[onionfrog]

I did a scheme on how FFXIII works:

This is pretty accurate.

I find all the game boring
But I hope it will be better after I'll reach the open world. I NEED to play this because I never played FFXIII-2 and XIII-3, and it seems they are good games, or at least better then this one

How far are you now?
I'm playing the game for the first time as well. I'm at chapter 10 right now and it's getting better. The battle system is actually pretty interesting once you get some freedom in choosing your party.

This chapter 10 boss is hard though!
