Seems it's a bad port.

It's awesome!
It's no where near as bad as people were expecting. Steady 30 FPS at 3200x1800, 60 FPS seems undesirable though because it fluctuates like mad. Sure wish the RoG Swift would come in stock, gsync would help >_> I just don't know why they said all that nonsense about needing a 4GB card, it's total bullshit. My 780Ti only has 3 and I'm running far above 1080P with no issues.
And Ryse is only like 6 hours long, given the short length and variation in locales I enjoyed my time with the game. If nothing else it is gorgeous, and an exciting look into the future of tech.

Great game. Bad port to a degree apparently, I went with PS4 because iDTech5 isn't the greatest and the couch with friends is where I have spent the first 4 hours. When I say great game I mean the most fun I've had all year, it's hard, it has open level design and it's awesome.
I'm playing it right now and I think people are exaggerating the bad port thing. I'm liking it a lot.
Ubisoft is really preparing for all of those seamless games they are launching. They are doing server load test, server maintenance couple of times per week. I hope that it is worth and we won't have issues on launch.
P.S. Morning SteamGAF sun is up day is beautiful and i hope you will have a nice day

Probably not much to see. Valve stealth launching that shit so that reviewers get it the same moment as everyone else.

Just remember, if it doesn't run at 4K 120 Hz Ultra on an Integrated Intel CPU, it's a bad port, according to the PC community. Sounds like it's a fine port, people are just upset about the VRAM standard changing (as we knew it would even since before BF4), and that it was developed for 30 FPS.
You cracked the code.
I'm holding on Ryse until Bayo releases on steam, yes
(><)
bold part is true, I think.

Do people honestly believe this? Valve might prefer to be low key, but they aren't going to launch an SP game just like that. Unless...

If Half Life 3 is follows Half Life 2's gameplay standards it will flop. Half Life's game play does not hold up at all. The bullet spongey enemies, weak weapons and lack of movement are all apparent when revisiting it. Half Life 3 has likely been restarted multiple times because of the challanges of making it modern while keeping it's roots. I think we'll see L4D3 Q4 2015 or Q1 2016 and Half Life 3 in 2017/8

Just beat chapter 6 of The Evil Within. Been taking my time and so far loving it. PC performance has been perfect for me, but idtech5 so sure some variation.
60 fps works with no hitches so far, and load times on PC are great, even only some pop-in (very little to what I've seen on consoles).

I'm not sure we'll ever see it. It's been about a decade since HL2, and seven years since Episode 2. If we were going to get a traditional sequel, we probably would have by now. My guess is they might eventually finish the story by continuing down the Portal 2 path of putting different types of games in the same universe.

It holds up well, when utilized well. Ep2 and Minerva showed that. The simple run and gun gameplay can feel refreshing.
But yes, this should be one of the reasons and Valve having different focus.
oh god no
2016 tops
Wait for it to finish writing to disk. That's Steam unpacking whatever game you've downloaded. Happened to me with the pre-load for Alien Isolation.
If you've not downloaded anything recently then I have no idea.
Well that just killed my hype.. Hahahahah.
I bought it for $40 AU via STEAM.. Surely the user reviews on Steam saying ''Very Positive'' means something!

Episode 2 has it's moments but long range combat can be a drag, mostly due to the lack of hit reactions and ragdoll deaths. I just don't see them releasing two major games within a year (L4D3 will likely be launched first looking at the leaks that have came out). I can see L4D3 having a beta for Half Life 3 Deathmatch.

I'm knee deep into chapter 3 and I'm pretty much in love with The Evil Within. It might lack some of the polish of either but so far it's somewhat like Resident Evil 4 meets The Last of Us plus some unique elements of its own. It's certainly been more terrifying than either were in their entirety.

Chapter 3 made me fall in love with the game. Took me and friends an hour and a half of attempting it to beat it.
What specs are we talking about here? If 60fps is no issue then i might get that game sooner than i thought.
Just played a quick round of CSGO, a case dropped and once again i was inclined to open it. Started the case opening simulator, simulated 10 openings and reconsidered once more
I'll probably never open a single case because i would regret it immediately. I like Dota 2s approach way more but i guess the implementation in CS:GO and the thirst for knives nets them a lot more money?

60 FPS maxed you are looking at a 970/780 and some get drops. No idea how AMD fares as ID Tech has always had issues with them.
oh that's great
i was trying out dark souls 1 today at like 30 fps and man that was rough
can't believe i beat that game like 4 times or something
good to know evil within is pretty alright then
hope it's cheap at one point
Wait, I was just about to buy Grimrock 2 from their official page, but then I remembered hearing that it's region-locked. Does that mean I can't buy it directly from Almost Human since the price is in USD and there's no option to change it to EU?
I purchased and activated it just fine (Finland).
It's region-locked on the Steam Store, not elsewhere.
Looks like it's only Steam gifts that are region locked. Keys are not locked
Edit: Beaten several times
Honestly I'm almost done with chapter 4 and I hardly notice it anymore. I'm too scared to notice. >__<

My specs aren't that impressive. I am playing 720p though and not 1080p, not because it wasn't running fine but wanted to run windowed for streaming.
But 2 GB Video Ram, AMD Radeon HD 7700 graphics card, and have had absolutely no performance hitches or technical problems or crashing or anything for close to seven hours of play, max settings on everything, perfect frame rate.

Yeah, chapter 3 is great so far. Reminded me of the intro village part in RE4, just more expansive and dangerous.
ex-Clover month is starting on a high note.
I just played chapter 1, will play more when it's getting dark. I think I will get used to the bars too, still sucks that 33% of my monitor are without use.
The texture pop-ins in the car sequence were hilariously bad.
Just like you've been playing Alien
I'm in agreement with HL3 being a long way off. 2017/18 seems about right. I think L4D3 is probably something that will appear along side those Steam Machines at some point mid or late 2015. I also continue my tin foil hat theory that Valve will release the game with a biometric data sensing wearable - they researched it for ages and then went all coy, and L4D seems ideal for something like that

Well depends. If it's actually rendering at that aspect ratio and a lower resolution that selected could be for performance. If it's just obscured to create that aspect ratio then it's still going to render a full 16:9 frame so would be for artistic reasons. Looks like the former due to some of the super wide shots I've seen.
Easiest way to lower rendering resolution.
funny that you mention it, because DD looks like really low res fairly often (><)

I always stretch to fit my movies too, there's no reason why movie makers don't make their films 16:9 in this digital day and age
