basically this.
I know I can run most games. It may not be fully maxed, but that isn't a problem. I'm also in the camp that most 'system requirements' are shit.

That's because lock-on wasn't necessary when using the more precise and snappier kb/m combo. And I felt it ruined my 'flow' when I tapped on the screen. Also holding a Vita for hours isn't the most comfortable thing.
Why wouldn't they believe the truth?. Personal opinion of course, but I thought the Vita controls were the best ones. I played the PC version first, then the PS3 and the Vita one and I vastly prefer it on the Vita.
Probably because you were still feeling the pain caused by using the DS3. Compared to that the Vita is infinitely superior.
Something like the .hack//gu one?
You (really) don't need the pro controller and there are a lot more great games on the system. There are more games worth playing on Wii U than there are on PS4 or Xbox 1 right now.
Ignore the message board haters and use the GamePad for awhile. It's as comfortable as any regular controller. Then buy/rent...
Wonderful 101
Super Mario 3D World
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
Nintendo Land
Lego City Undercover
Mario Kart 8
Hyrule Warriors
NSMB U and NSL U
Pikmin 3
Zombi U
and Wind Waker HD if you've never played that game.
Some good games on the eShop as well.

I could see people that have low end to mid range PC's that want to see if they can slip by, I'm in the upper mid range of PC parts and I've never not been able to run a game regardless of how crazy the specs are, but most people that don't PC game think that it's some cryptic thing you have to study in order for your games to work.

I check them but I don't pay one bit of attention to them. Some games get a fairly high profile conversation on forums (Mordor & TEW) so this will alert me to potential problems.
I have a decent spec PC that runs games at high to ultra without too many problems so I don't see the point in concerning myself with specs. By the time it is an issue I would have upgraded the GPU.
This is exactly why I prefer it. It's a more fluid game when lock on isn't required.
Vita controls are the best with lock on in mind and I enjoyed playing it there as well, though!
Yes. I was using it with my Sapphire Tri-X 290. There are some caveats. You have to disable CCC overdrive, if you have Catalyst Control Center installed.

I found it way snappier that way, the nubs worked really good and it just felt better to me. The only game on Vita were I can say that.
Or you could play one at a time, sell it back once you're done and maybe end up spending $30-50 max.
So, I've been out of the PC loop for almost a year, long story..
Since last weekend it's up and running again and ofcourse my Steam client has been installed as well.
Did I miss any great (turnbased) strategy games in these past 9 months? Indies f.e.? Early access?
Noticed Sorcerer King f.e. from Stardock, is that worth it already?

Yeah it will work on anything, regardless of brand, regardless of GPU Vendor. It either reads sensors on your hardware, reports by the OS or intercepts activity at the driver level to report its statistics. It's a good monitoring tool as well as an GPU overclocking utility and allows you to limit framerates more smoothly than in drivers and has good screenshot and video recording capabilities.
In my case, I'd drop cash for a Wii U but lately I've been playing mainly on my Laptop.
There are so many games I want on the Wii U, but am not in the zone to get one
Brah, get a Wii U. You know you want to

you never now, capcpom does some weird things sometimes
for example here in france to promote dragon's dogma they hired joueur du grenier which is our jontron/avgn, if you understand french it's also worth a watch since it's kinda funny :

I actually only used the lock-on on the Vita once, at the Uzi boss guy.
Yeah, with the DS3 was pretty bad. I since replayed the PC version though and still hold the opinion that the Vita where it's controlled best. Personal preference of course.
that's... interesting, I think they also promoted dragon's dogma in Japan with some comedians or something. They didn't do anything in NA other than hosting a tumblr and a twitter account though, lol
The Banner Saga is a really cool indie turn-based RPG! The art style is absolutely gorgeous, and the sountrack was made my the guy who composed the music for Journey. The Banner Saga is basically Oregon Trail meets Advance Wars with vikings.
Selling the consoles, peripherals (arcade stick), and games back... I would lose way more than 30-50 bucks.

Did I miss something? Why are we talking about the Wii U in steam thread?
I do love the people who say "Come on, this game deserves at least a 9" without even playing it. Dat blind fanboyism.

Love this gif
I'm finally starting to see why the OT and Review are separated. not a pretty sight.
I'm sad that Captain Toad got delayed. Hope it's to clear some space for other titles and some final polish as I loved those segments in SM3DW.
Oh dear, what's happened? Reviews aren't even out yet?

One that hasn't been mentioned, probably due to the forced Uplay integration, is Might and Magic X. I always see Durante rave about it.
Unless you want Shadowplay.
Review threads are just all-around awful indeed.
I run both and they never conflict with each other. Though GeForce Experience bugs out on me every now and then but it would do it on its own. But hey the good thing about PCs is we get lots of toys to play with.
I sure hope there isn't outrage over 1 review. Although I do find it funny how a site can get a copy before general release and a publisher enforced embargo and get something out.

let me extend that claim to OTs before release and a couple of months after release
do like me, 100% media blackout
the game is released and you get to enjoy it (or not)
i mean i went into Chrono Trigger or RE4 or even MGS2 wihout any sort of expectation and they became my favourite games of all time, i don't understand the need people have to know everything about a game or the need to have everyone enjoy it like you are before the game is even out
there's the concern that you don't know if you'll like a game before you've seen a lot but personally i only need at most a couple of minutes of gameplay and at least a screenshot to know if i'll like a game or not but then again maybe i'm just weird
Likely they have friends at somewhere that already received stock?
Those bound by embargo must love this.
Well, some people might want to find out more about a game before making a purchase, but there's probably a middle ground between knowing nothing and going on a massive media binge. Some people can't afford to buy games they won't enjoy, and some people get excited and want to find more stuff out. It's nice that you were able to play those games without spoiling anything for yourself, but imagine if you'd gone full media blackout on something like Alien: Colonial Marines and then realised how terrible it was when you started playing.

Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly. I love to be surprised by games, so I only tend to watch reveal trailers/Nintendo Directs/read Game Informer details. Overhyping yourself is just begging to be disappointed, lowered expectations FTW!
