Haha I guess I am in the same boat if I was excited for FO4.

Yeah, I was hoping for a 25-30% off for Fallout but I think this is the best I am going to get if I want to buy it before release (unless I go gray market)

I don't know who thought it was personally.

Midrange should be able to run everything no?
I was expecting it to look like promo materials they have shown, which looked great for such game.
I'm still optimistic about pc version living up to promo stuff.

Not with some of these unoptimized ports and stuff that are out.

I didn't, but apparently from the screenshot thread there are a bunch of people who did. Bethesda games have never been about the graphics for me, and if I did want some sick next-gen cinematic graphics I would just download an ENB.
I don't think anyone expected visuals to look better than in videos Bethesda released. Problem is that they look much worse.

That game's been discounted multiple time over the past few years and months.
How do you miss out on them, you either lurk Humblebundle when it updates or just see if its on sale on Steam lol.
apparently it was a thing of past, now it's - can't run a shit
lowtier? not even worth switching on in the morning
More or less what happened for me aswell, although I never picked up Path to War. I enjoyed the game for a variety of reasons, all of which were entirely different reasons than why I loved Guerilla. It's... Odd. If it wasn't a mainline RF sequel, I don't think it would've been so badly received - But people wanted more of the smashtastic, openworld goodness of Guerilla where you could use the environment as a weapon and handle every engagement differently, so I definitely understand the backlash, but Armageddon is... Still very much a good game, imo.
It's cheaper at Funstock Digital with their coupon. £29~, and they're as legit as GMG.
Which may or may not mean that there's the possibility of grey-ness, lol
I would assume that all officially released media was from the PC version, so until we get third party PC footage it's hard to tell if there was a major downgrade or tomfoolery going on.

It runs everything sure, it just depends on the game but sometimes getting 60fps is kind of a struggle. But yeah there hasn't been a game that I haven't been able to run at console setting or better yet this generation.

Can anyone help me buy some games from Nuuvem?
Turfster would argue otherwise
I had more issues with Black Flag as AC game than i had with AC3. And from technical standpoint AC3 is huge step up from previous games. Also i didn't have that many issues with Connor ether. In my book AC3 is solid game, ending is cliche and some story parts are not that good but it is far from disaster that people are considering it.
Thank you for your impressions. I finished Armageddon a while back, had a good time for the most part, and the film comparison you made is on point. Only major complaint I had back then was the nauseating field of view which prevented me from playing the game for too long.
I see that you're already interested in purchasing Guerrilla and I think that you should definitely get it when you can.
I don't expect much from Bethesda in any department -- certainly not to be impressed -- but, I did honestly expect them to do at least somewhat better than those shots graphically on PS4 at 30 FPS.
You aren't missing much regarding the Path to War but upon reading your post I do wonder if the reception of this game would have been a bit better if it didn't had "Red Faction" labelled on it. I mention this because it seems many people were expecting much more for Armageddon back in the day. Care to share your opinion on this?
Thanks and you're welcome! I was worried I didn't made my explanation clear but I'm glad you understood it.
Well I went ahead and submitted it last night. I don't know who I'm supposed to send a write up to. Hopefully it's jshackles. If not... I'm sorry jshackles.
That's exactly how I feel. If it hadn't been named Red Faction, or if it'd been marketed and made as an explicit spin-off, I'm quite confident it'd been quite well-received, it's not like it's a bad game, it's simply... Vastly different from it's predecessor, and more or less throws everything people loved about Guerrilla right out the window. I think it does a lot of what it focuses on terrifically, though! And I find it to be a pretty great game, even if it's nothing like what I was hoping for.You aren't missing much regarding the Path to War but upon reading your post I do wonder if the reception of this game would have been a bit better if it didn't had "Red Faction" labelled on it.

What I wouldn't do for a Guerrilla 2, though... Damn, that'd be a blast, especially with the improvements we've seen to hardware since the last one.
Wasn't the FOV moddable, or some such? I remember not liking it either, and managing to increase it somehow.
... Atleast as far as I remember. You know how my memory is, though.
Oh boy XD

Fallout 4 looks fine to me too, as long as in motion it's a solid framerate with no tearing or anything super distracting like that. Besides, who the hell expects a game about a post-apocalyptic wasteland to be jaw-dropping in terms of graphics? Especially in a game, where as you sort of imply, the focus is on exploration/interactivity as opposed to "looking pretty" while dying of exposure to radiation.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I got the OP updated this morning, sorry for the delay!
Also Happy Halloween everyone! I apologize for having the thread up a day or so early but I won't be around my PC much today and also the October thread was already getting a little long in the tooth.
That'd be fine if dying of exposure to radiation was a part of the game in any way whatsoever
And even then, I'd hardly call 30 fps solid when the game isn't at all a looker nor seems to be a native 1080.
To each their own, though. There's a reason I don't have a console - 30 FPS just... Drives me nuts if it's not 100% locked, and then I really want visual fidelity that can justify that framerate, y'know?
And that sadly isn't the case a lot of the time.

Yeah there is one now it seems. Don't think it was available when I played the game though, I remember looking for a fix and not finding one.

I hope Todd Howard takes out VSync in F4, because I want to play a Bethesda game that runs smooth

Just because framerate is targeted/locked at 30 doesn't mean that a load of extra resources show up that can suddenly be used to jack up the graphical fidelity. Depending on what things the game is calculating/loading/etc. the amount of stuff left for "oooh, pretty graphics" is inversely proportional.
Hell, this is what started killing the gamebryo games on PS3 when you got further into it. All the changes to the world and scripting that it tries to load and recall ended up bogging everything down and clogging up memory to the point where the framerate would become a slideshow (which was a bigger problem on PS3 than x360 because of how the system design with regards to memory).
I mean, I don't fault you for wanting better or not having a console cause 30fps drives you nuts... the good thing about your opinions and the way you voice them is you don't treat them as absolute facts and you don't try to push them on other people or respond negatively to those with differing viewpoints.
still gotta play ass 4, i wasn't that big of a fan of the ship parts in ass 3 so not sure
it's never cheap enough for me to try it
So today Key and Fruitbat Factory (same guys who brought 99 Spirits, 100% Orange Juice, 200% Mixed Juice, to Steam) announced official localizations of Little Busters and Tomoyo After.

Little Busters TLwiki page
Apparently Tomoyo After's official release was already known, so I don't know why VA announced it.
Before anyone asks, yes, these are both Steam releases.

Just Cause Triple - Exactly how far can we fling a cow?
Don't forget to buy it so you can play a game where the devs knowingly didn't care about their shitty plot ( ≖‿≖

Anyone who bought the Disney Infinity 2.0 Starter Pack on Steam and doesn't have their figures on 3.0, you can contact Disney Support in order to fix that (took them a while, but they fixed it for me today)
Also, if you could post in the 3.0 community discussions about the lack of windowed mode support I'd be really grateful, it's truly annoying that we are in 2015 and a game doesn't support windowed mode.

don't be hating ExoSoul
There's a joke to be made about how Fallout 4 compares to Skyrim and the fact that Bethesda literally can't be bothered putting Wolf:ET and Wolf09 back up on Steam.
Oh, right: something something technical issues. If Fallout 4 could look better, it'd look better!

I just hope they patch that damn camera control when using a controller. It's so slow.
Also no Vsync is just what the hell. Thankfully nvidia control panel can fix that issue.

I finally pulled off the <ADHESIVE MEDICAL STRIP> and finished MGSV.
Now I'm all alone and covered in blood.
Now I'm all alone and covered in blood.
It'll likely look exponentially better on PC without mods, though. I mean, if you compare FO3 on highest settings to the console version, there's quite a difference, hopefully it's the same for FO4.
Although there really is no excuse for FO4 to look the way it does on the new-gen.
Or well, there is an excuse, it's called "Bethesda"
Technical reasons, man. Technical... Stuffs is hard!
