Pretty much yeah. Beforehand you could set a custom resolution in Nvidia's control panel but that not only relied on having the GPU power to run that resolution but your monitor also had to be able to handle the signal. Most of my 1920x1080 monitors will go to 3200x1800 not problems at 60hz but only 2 will got to 3840x2160 though due to DVI limitations and the bandwidth you get from the copper in the cable it's a bit unreliable and a lower refresh is usually requiered to get it stable, sometikems as low as 30hz. Only one will go above that to 4800x2700 but that again is 30hz but hey that's the beauty of a 120hz there's a big range to play with. But the 2 2560x1440 monitors wont go a pixel over that. GeDoSaTo is a great in that case as it doesn't rely on the hardware limitations just need the power to run that resolution (well on DX9 games for the time being).
What Dynamic Super Resolution does is like the downsampling aspect in Durante's GeDoSaTo (without as much control or option) it takes your monitors hardware capability out of the equation. You can downsample to a factor of 4 of you monitors (or I'm guessing maybe desktop) resolution on any game that supports user defined resolutions (some will need some ini fiddling but should work). This has a slight advantage of GeDoSaTo as it works with DX10, DX11 and OpenGL games (though Durante plans to have GeDoSaTo working with everything but lets be fair Nvidia have much more man power).
The way I see it is that it's another tool in the box for getting a game looking how you want.

Wow, thanks for the write-up. You really know your stuff. Not only that but I also learn a lot from your posts. Much appreciated.
Like you said, I think I'll dabble more with Nvidias downsampling tool first, just because it sounds easier for newcomers and with gedosato-compliant games later on for more in-depth customization.
Now, only the hardware capable of downsampling is needed...

Personally I'd say GeForce Experience is kind of like babies first tuning tool. Sure it has been tested and tested but sometimes it's a little off. It's worth putting the time in to learn what effects are in terms of performance cost and if you can't 'max' a game out what you can live without. Go grab something like MSI Afterburner and have the OSD running to show the GPU load. It will be in % so when you start adjusting things in game take a not of how much it cost in %. I'd start but putting everything to the minimum settings and the set your screen resolution to you monitors and go up from there. Does the game have multiple AA option? Test them out one at a time and see how many extra % you need. Likewise with any other graphical option, test and test and test. You can also monitor you CPU load whilst in game to get an idea if that's what holding you back.
PC Gamer did a nice little intro article as to what different graphics options can mean and about their impact that might serve as a great primer for you and anyone else dipping there toes in.
http://www.pcgamer.com/pc-graphics-options-explained/

Bookmarked and will read PCG article later. Thanks, again.

If you want a reason not to buy Don't Starve, make it the fact that it's really boring after a few hours.

Well, I actually moderately interested in the game. Artstyle is unique and gameplay looks deep as well. Personally don't care about achievements at all, so can't comment on that aspect. But if a game is entertaining for several hours, I can forgive once it becomes stale afterwards. I had many hours of fun after all. Even more so with non-linear games which don't really have an end.
But I'll wait for another time.

Just landed in Ireland, home of the Ronan

Ireland has truly a beautiful nature. Make sure to listen to Celtic music while soaking the green hills! If you're not revolted by Japanese music, I wholeheartedly recommend Zabadak, especially their early stuff.

My Evil Within video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSsf0geyKIE

Only skimmed through it because of spoilers but man, the camera is way too close on the character and both horizontally and vertically the viewing field is way too narrow. You have to move the camera way too much. The game itself looks nice though, very moody. As a Sci-Fi fan, Alien looks more intriguing though.

Another great news for UPlay now you can change your username
http://uplay.ubi.com/#!/en-GB/news/UplayUsername
Also new UPlay page is very nice

Mmh, I am thinking whether I should use my Gaf-name or another one. How do you guys decide across different gaming services, same name or not?

Why the hell haven't I heard anybody talk about this one? Randomly installed it and Im so much making a video of it. Fantastic game!

Wow, looks really cool. There are so many great games on Steam, I constantly find new stuff. Crazy.

OK.
I was writing this down in anticipation of an eventual runthrough when I upgrade my rig, and I'm collating a lot of content because I want to build my own website in the near future and post articles under the banner "A Modder's Guide To..."
Hope this helps.

Bookmarked. Great stuff!

Hello SteamGAF !
It seems that GungHo America is planning to bring more japanese games on Steam:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/gunghoamerica

May I remember you that GungHo owns Grasshoper Manufacture (Suda51 games such as No More Heroes or Killer7), Game Arts (Lunar, Grandia, Dokuro), Acquire (Way of the Samurai, Tenchu) and Gravity ?


And the first one is Dokuro:

[Turfster]

Steam explore queue still gives games that aren't available in my region.

Edit: Damn, 4 unavailable games in a row.

Wait, it does?
It hasn't for me in like, a week and a bit.
Maybe you need to pester Valve too so they add an exception in their code just for you too!

morning. here's something new, my The Evil Within is uninstalled. as in, is gray, I have to redownload it. I did NOT uninstall it, I was just playing last night... anyone ever see that before?

edit: and COD Ghosts aswell, which I just downloaded yesterday...wtf?

Ghostlight actually brings Way of the Samurai 4 on Steam.

 

[Turfster]

Many, many, many, many f2p and zombie games. So many.
(I clicked through almost 2000 games in the discovery queue. No, I don't know why either.)

As far as I can tell, no. If you add an achievement showcase, it will tell you how many perfect games you have, but not which ones.

I know some of the achievement tracking sites will give you that. I've used http://astats.astats.nl/astats/index.php in the past, and that will do it.

You are. Chuck isn't human, he's a murderous plush-doll.

Aww yiss!

To be fair, I'm actually pretty intersted in it. I really like the combat of Dark Souls, but there's so much else in the series I hate, and maybe a western studio can give the concept a good spin.

 

[Corpekata]

Pretty much only sold on Steam and Gamestop. Region locked on Steam, so no real cheap options.

what Corp said.

Jank aside (which im running into more lately, performance wise), The Evil Within is so good. As is Styx, that one is a nice surprise. Good stuff lately

Seems the cheapest I can get are 23€...

i don't think how many people realises how much this demographic has been underrepresented in video games history, it sickens me that this industry is so focused on womyn and race issues when real problems have been under our noses all along
thankfully the general public is smarter than that and has been organizing the resistance for years, you can play as a spoopy skeleton in M&B mod and wreck human scum with your skeletons bros

way of the samurai 4 is actually coming to steam this year, it's being ported by ghostlight

Nah man I also want that game too. Looks pretty fun. Waiting to read some thoughts on it though. I've only seen like 1 gameplay video(mainly cause I don't care enough to look up more. It's nothing against this game though because very VERY rarely do I look up multiple gameplay bids of a game)

 

[MUnited83]

Lords of the Fallen has no OARIC on the retail RU keys so I will just get that and activate with a VPN.

I see. I was thrown off when you said "the first one is." That implies others hadn't made their way yet.

That said, I'd be ready to throw down money for No More Heroes, and SO ready for things like Lunar and Grandia because classic JRPGs like that are so hard to come by on PC (mind you Square is slowly changing that, so the timing would be perfect. Big-name recognition without lots of competition.)

Did they remove prepurchase on Steam? Was thinking about getting it since it looks fun enough after watching some bits of the 5 hours of gameplay video. $28 in my region was a reasonable price for it.

 

[Anteater]

Darksiders is kind of a blast, although the aiming is kind of slow and they make you do that shit every once in a while, combat kind of opens up but I'll probably need to adjust since I can't see shit sometimes when fighting.

Not sure how I feel about those sort of tutorial/challenge levels that you have to do before you open up each area, I think there are enough combat in the game as it is and I don't really think fighting 4-5 arena of enemies before having to move on to the next zone is really necessary.

 

[Glass Rebel]

"Hey guys, we could bring Suda51 games, classic JRPGs, and Way of the Samurai to Steam! So have a puzzle platformer! There aren't that many of those on Steam... r-right?"

To be fair, it isn't entirely clear which franchises GungHo purchased with Grasshopper. They got Grandia when they bought Game Arts but I am not sure if we ever got word on which franchises Grasshopper owned before they were bought.

Darksiders was great until the backtracking, I lost interest then and didn't finish it.

they are by far the worst part of the game. Still one of my favorites from last gen tho

the backtracking, like Zelda, is a 45min-1 hour thing

Most you can do is go to their profile and then look at all their games.
The ones with absolutely no playtime will be at the bottom.
