Yes. ME1, Crisis, Bad Company 2, Dragon Age, Dead Space, and Dragon Age 2 were all released just before Origin.

Is there any technical reason why Valve hasn't solved the scaling issue of the overlay when using downsampling games? It kinda blows.

well, but how is that valves fault? you trick your PC so that the games run in a higher resolution than your monitor. And so the Steam overlay thinks the same and scales appropriate.
They could maybe just ad a slider to change the UI size...
Or are we talking about build in game super sampling?
A friend damaged one of my DS4 sticks, peeled the gum a bit - I'm contemplating whether to try a protector, they're, like, €.50 a piece. I've seen what has to be done to replace the whole stick, doesn't look like something I'd be capable of doing... But I should be okay with putting a rubber protector. 
Anyone had any experience with those? Worth the money?

The Steam overlay should be fairly resolution independent anyway. There's no reason for it to get super tiny when you're playing at 4K.
Uh.... maybe. I got bored of it after an hour or two, though admittedly I mostly deleted it to free up space to install The Division, which was... a very obviously bad series of choices

Something like that would be good.

thats true, so adding size options seems like a good idea

While using DSR etc switch to desktop to find out this is not a steam issue.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Is there any easy way to turn off the Big Picture Mode UI running in the background when I'm playing something'?
It's so annoying to launch Rocket League (not in Big Picture) and then go to type something to my teammate or opponent, or to shift tab to message someone, and have the giant blue shitty UI pop up.

It has nothing to do with DSR. UI content shouldn't shrink like crazy at a higher resolution. Good desktop apps will handle this. Bad desktop apps will get unusable.

Ditto for why the Steam client looks like garbage on high DPI displays. You have two options: hilariously tiny and unreadable, or normal sized but at a garbage resolution. Sure, there are some janky skins that try to fix the issue, but it's dissapointing that Steam doesn't play better with W10's higher DPI options.

What's more probable: using RSS or using the Windows Store?
I use RSS but not the store myself.

Oh man, I'm starting to see why people don't like Lords of the Fallen.
It's not so much hard as it is tedious, largely because the combat is so damn slow.
And given how slow the combat is handling more than one enemy at a time is a chore.
I'm at the second boss and he keeps summoning extra enemies and also has a huge shield that blocks attacks so you need to wait for openings. Ok, but this means it's taking bloody forever =/
It's like 10 whole minutes a go of circle strafing repeated each time before dying, dull.

Yeah. I stopped a little while after a boss or two after that one.
There's this feel to the game that makes it seem unresponsive, and I think it's mostly due to the fact that there are no i-frames like in the Souls. So, you're forced into pre-emptively dodging all of the time.
It wasn't the difficulty. It just wasn't fun to play.
Chairmanchuck
Member
Yeah. I stopped exactly at that point too, because the whole gameplay is slow, but the enemies are fast. It doesnt even make sense like that.
Was kinda sad that its like that, because the atmosphere and graphics were really great.

I don't want Rhaknar to come for my neck, so I'll stay quiet.
I will say that all bosses are basically dmg sponges. You should keep playing because I know you like pain, and I enjoy reading it.

Yeah, I played it a little on PS4 since it was free on plus but got annoyed rapidly with the first boss, combat is inferior to the dark soul series.

The combat speed pretty ridiculous in that game.
I played it for a bit, and remember finding a regular, not very good axe early on. Attacks with that axe took longer than attacks with Ultra Greatswords in the Souls games that I've played. And that was regular attacks, not even the expectedly slower, heavy attacks. I don't actually remember finding an enemy that was slow enough that they didn't recover in time to block the heavy attacks.
It's a shame though, since I felt that the fact that you can dodge-cancel out of almost everything gave the combat a pretty smooth feel.

Just beat the second boss now, switched my armour to a light set and made me faster. The fight wasn't even challenging, just boring.
You know that dread you get when facing a boss in Dark Souls? Yeah, nothing here.

Gunmetal Arcadia Zero is now out on Steam. Itch.io keys are now up, hit the download button to find it.
Game was part of May Monthly bundle which I bought. Seems keys for it aren't up on there yet.
You don't know real pain until you have to go up against Pontiff in an SL1 run. He basically kills you in 1.5 hits. 1 hit depending on what move he does. There is no one to summon for help either. Just you and your shitty little fire axe against that mean bastard.
