No idea. Honestly didn't notice any issues with shadow quality myself. Was too busy enjoying the game to take any notice. It's still graphically impressive though in my opinion, but surely grainy shadows shouldn't be a reason to not go and play the game?
I've played the game, Broche path only.
Shadows were really off putting though.

I wished Peggle 2 releases on PC. Game is on sale on Xbone at 5$, but there is no sign of any PC-version.
I don't understand why after the timed Xbox exclusivity that game isn't on every available platform including mobile by now. And I certainly won't double dip, played enough on PS4.

After a 12+ hour shift, what did I come home to?
Steam gifts locked.
Possible DS2 new version for PC.
Welp, I was just about to buy keys to buy DS2 in a cheaper price. Not sure if I should be happy or not.

I know why, EA can't be bothered to port it. Times when Peggle was on every platform known to man are over (._.)

I don't really see a problem with half of Metro Redux since the original Metro had glaring performance issues no matter how beefy your PC was for a while, so a spreuced up version with alterations that its sequel brought forth is the right way to do it. Including Last Light in the package was pointless though, and a downgrade from what I've seen. GTA V also has noteable new content and largely justified by the PS3 / Xbox 360 versions being inadequate when it comes to overall picture quality and framerate. Still a questionable business call, but at least they put the time to good use for the PC version (extra delays notwithstanding). The new Pokémon doesn't fall in the same camp either since it's a straight-up remake with numerous large-scale changes from a game released what, over a decade ago?
Remasters of the shitty Tomb Raider and Sleepy Dawgs' being a negligible 'upgrade' are the worst offenders for me. The Last of Us also leaves me indifferent; convenient that the majority (not all) of the content is included I suppose as is it receiving a proper framerate, but it doesn't really sit well with me regardless. The one for Dark Souls II falls in the same camp for me with the confirmation that all of the minor content additions will be patched in for the older versions and everything else they announced for it is easily ignorable with how small of a step up it is.
It won't, the trailer still showed some of the ugly parts (of which there are many) being virtually untouched. Mirror Knight remaining exactly the same says it all. I wouldn't hold out much hope for this "visual upgrade" beyond superficial tweaks.

Okay, I'll just delay my entry to the series for a few more months, or a few more days if the pesky GFWL attached to Dark Souls is removed.
Very sour indeed...
I am not purchasing the new DX11 variant for the PC at all, Namco can beg some other person to purchase it (instead of me).

There doesn't seem to be a significant visual upgrade compared to the existing PC version. Could this be a sleeping dogs type situation where the upgrade is only really justified for last gen console owners?
Saves not carrying over to the new version is very lame.
I dunno, since I still haven't bought any dlc it will depend on the price, a discount for owners of the old version would be nice.

Honestly, I thought it was fine, I beat that boss first try, was a good challenge though.

First Geometry Wars 3 reviews and impressions (it's already available on consoles in the US) are very positive, more positive than I expected after some lukewarm comments about preview versions. But no preorder discount and the looming sale....
There was a debate yesterday about whether Deathstroke was a cheap QTE boss in Batman: Arkham Origins. I felt like the boss fight relied on rote memorisation of when to attack/block and was essentially a QTE without the button prompts with little freedom, there was opposition to this. I imagine I was probably either a) not very good or b) completely missed what I was supposed to be doing, because I spent an hour or so on that boss getting increasingly frustrated.

Did I miss something or do you have to pay money to upgrade DS2 to DX11?

You have to pay to the Scamco overlords.
bros to the end. It's lame when people are so blinded by their love of a franchise that they can't recognize when it falls from grace.
I want to buy this game. It's been too long since I've rocked pacifism.
I get the feeling though that the people who love the franchise are going to be much better at combat, free-flow combos etc so that particular boss fight will be less of a challenge and therefore they don't notice that it's structured to their particular style of play. I'm not great at that sort of thing (I'm not terrible at the game, I just haven't sunk a lot of time getting deep into the combat) so I had a much harder time with it and it was much more apparently how inflexible that boss fight was. Compared to something like the Mr Freeze boss fight from the first game where you had to use different methods to attack each time but had a lot more freedom to choose how to attack next (without timing requirements) it's incredibly poor design.
Looks like it, pretty lame.
You get the content for free in an update if you have the original, but the better graphics you have to pay it seems.
I'm right there with you. I might try to find someone with access to it in the Russian store. I've gotten an offer for $10, which isn't bad.
Can you imagine 2025's remaster of 2025's seminal hit Dumapic Souls? In only 3 months, developer FromSoftware was able to slightly tweak AO settings, resulting in a completely different experience. $90 for +1 privilege!!!
Glad I was a bit burnt out on DS around the time of II's release. Now I get to enjoy a newer version fresh. Are current owners gonna go for the DX11 version or waiting to see how it will perform(like Sleeping Dogs)?
A much more populated version of Lordran should be a treat in the coming weeks. Looking forward to jumping back into DS.
Edit: I see DoA 5 Last Round PC is inching ever closer to being official. Why must they tease us like this, and so often?

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Paying for a slight graphical upgrade of a game released last year? Finally I can experience the magic of next gen consoles on my PC as well.
Freedom = $1.05

Great news about DSII. I've only just gotten around to playing DS this year so this gives me more breathing room till I play the next one.
Also, I finished South Park. Overall, it's a decent paper Mario clone that feels tied to a kinda ok episode of South Park. It took me ten hours, which really makes you wonder why the fine folks over at obsidian took so long to ship the game outside of major development issues they encountered. It'd be fun to read a post mortem on the game's development.

I'll be waiting to see how it performs, what price point it's at, if saves can carry over (officially or unofficially) etc. There's a lot of information I'm lacking to make an informed decision yet. So I'll wait.
As for DOA5 Last Round coming to PC, I'm really glad to see it. More and more fighting game franchises are coming to PC, and that can only be good for the community on PC.

So are we expecting the Sega Humble Bundle today?
I never got into DOA that much but I think Soul Calibur and/or Tekken is only a matter of time considering that Namco has basically embraced the f2p style for those games.

If my heart had wings has a giftinglock, right?
after some thinking ...
it probably good for me about DS2 news
i may not buy the DX11 version , maybe my PC wont get 60 FPS
i'll stick with the DX9 version
but i really hope they make cross platform online with the DX11 version
i mean , its on the same platform , why its separated is really bugging me out

That's a biggie right if Namco want people to double dip on the PC side.
The fighting game resurgence on PC is a great thing to see happening. The other big 3(SC, Tekken, and VF) would be welcome.

Bullshit. Going to deinstall the game when I arrive at home.

What is this game?
volvo's tyranny knows no bounds.
I don't have a computer that can play it. Really choppy on lowest settings. Skyrim runs better than this game.
It also has a really small font and interface which I can't see, so I'm not sure if I can play it. It might work on the larger monitor I bought recently and I've heard there's patches for larger text. Not sure about the interface though.
