The biggest fault for AMD is they always create these things that they expect third parties to accomplish. You want 3D? Well we support it, but buy some software from a third party to get it working. You want video recording? We do have something that we offer, but it's pretty limited.

Nvidia makes you pay extra to get their 3D stuff working too, so it evens out.
Also, 3D sucks.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Its for only one game out of the 600+ that I own. I've never really look at the page (on steam) and now that I have I need something that CTRL+F finds.

or something that actually lists all of them on onepage. I couldn't find one I even earned.

Wowzers guys!

The steam page should, unless some are "hidden".
ctrl+f should work in your browser if you visit the page... (should work in the steam browser too)

Well Steam Controller certainly does what I expected a little bit more. Makes Mass Effect 3 handled better for me that either a controller did on 360 or what kb&m does on OC, even Dark Souls II has a sort of best of both worlds touch about it as you can whip the camera round from direction to direction really fast as well as having every button you'd want combat wise right under your finger tips. Bulletstorm and Titanfall are two other great examples where having a fast camera and not have to move your fingers to have access to the core controls feel really good. Got something decent set up for Diablo III but can feel me tinkering this away to death before I'm happy but certainly very serviceable though not as efficient as I'd like (I'd imagine MMO's would have the same nonstop tinkering obsession).

Also is it opposite day? EA: HD Remakes Happen ‘When You’ve Run Out of Ideas’. I'm actually agreeing with something Peter Moore says? *shudder*

Yeah but when was the last time EA released something that isn't sequel/prequel? For me that means lack of ideas, remakes are quick money.

Dont feel bad, every dog has its day and today happens to bet that day for peter. I fully agree with him too, but really he shouldnt be saying that since all they do are sequels.

 

[Atraveller]

It's because they didn't see most of that sweet rehash money. Most likely because it killed off so many devs, there is no one left to do remasters.

And it's not like EA sequels are super original or anything.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Yeah but when was the last time EA released something that isn't sequel/prequel? For me that means lack of ideas, remakes are quick money.

To be fair when they took a chance and tried to make original IP nobody bloody bought them. They make sequels because they are safe. Not saying I agree with it but there's a reason.

APB – Realtime Worlds
Brütal Legend – Double Fine Productions
Bulletstorm – Epic Games
Crysis series – Crytek
DeathSpank – Hothead Games
Fuse – Insomniac Games[62]
Hellgate: London – Flagship Studios
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning – 38 Studios, Big Huge Games
Rock Band series – Harmonix and MTV Games
The Secret World – Funcom[63]
Shadows of the Damned – Grasshopper Manufacture
Shank – Klei Entertainment
Syndicate – Starbreeze Studios
Titanfall – Respawn Entertainment
Warp – Trapdoor

EA Partners games. You can see why they don't take chances anymore, almost all of these sold poorly or were completely forgotten about even though a lot of them are great games.

I can understand that there is too much remasters/remakes and that is not an issue. And I can understand that sequels are safer than new IP but to be honest their new IPs were bad that is why they were accepted poorly. But he really shouldn't talk about lack of ideas.

I like 3D. It's just too much of a hassle and kills performance.

Is the Deus Ex Revision mod worth it? I wanted to download it but then I read it adds quite a bit of its own, which defeats the whole purpose of a (visual) mod for me. Unless it was never meant to be a visual mod in the first place.

IMO they had as many cool games as bad ones and most of the bad ones had neat ideas that weren't pulled off well. Either way they sold poorly, so now they take less chances. Mirror's Edge 2 is still quite a risk and definitely something worth looking at. At least they aren't just rereleasing old games like every other pub.

I've been hearing quite a lot of bad things about it, really.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Well I'll agree it's a bit rich coming from EA who primarily make their money from franchises that are irritative rather than evolutionary but as much as people want to rag on them for only releasing incremental updates for their sports titles since the very early 90's onwards they're still pulling in the punters every year. But then again so are all these pubs making rehashes as peeps are happily gobbling them up despite probably already owning the game once already at least. Both are cheap to produce and have potential for high ROI if you don't muck them up (heya NBA Live and wonky 'remasters').

That's too bad. I remember anticipating it until I settled with New Vision, glad I stuck with it.

From what I remember they made only Mirrors Edge, Army of Two, Spore and Fuse in last couple of years and only Mirrors Edge was decent one. And Dragon Age is onl newy IP that was successful for them.

"Mugen Souls will be released on PC via Steam on the 22nd October, priced at just $19.99 with a stunning 40% launch discount."

"The week after launch, on the 29th October, we will be releasing the console DLC, which will again have a mighty 40% launch discount in addition to some substantial savings over the console release. In addition to this we will also be including a massive 30 items of DLC* from the console version as part of the base game for free."

I won't be home for a while but does anyone know an easy game plan for fixing my computer?

Get a "a disk read error occurred. Press Ctrl+alt+del to restart" and when I unplug the drive that's been having issues it switches to ""reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" but that's not my OS drive. Given that I imagine my OS drive has failed so what is the best process for reinstalling windows? That drive must be toast so I don't want to install it on there. Should I transfer everything on my 1 TB ssd to an external hard drive and then reinstall windows using a recovery disk to it, erasing everything, and then move the transferred files back over?

Also, Dead Space 3 is

Spoiler

great and the second game already abandoned all pretense of horror.

 

[gelf]

I was wondering, do you people understand that "anime hate" is still xenophobia at its core, even if it's not named as such because it isn't truly harmful, but that's what it is.
Overly sexualization can be a legit complain if you are a prude, true and it can be pretty disgusting even if you are not, but aside from that... it's xenophobia. Not that xenophobia is rare but it's rather amazing that people seem to be proud of it or freely admit it on daily basis.
just saying

How it xenophobic? It's just not liking a certain art direction and/or story focus. I fucking love a lot of Japanese games its just that very few of those games look overly anime.

Am I anti American/Western too for not liking the standard fantasy eleves and orcs stuff too?

They also published these under EA partners. Most of which were fairly risky (Shadows of the Damned like wtf) but a lot of them were good and sold poorly.

I ment games that EA made because they can control that. But even from that list most of these games are not good.

 

[Leafhopper]

But didn't DS2 began shifting towards more action instead of horror?

Yes but it was still an okay mix. Meanwhile 3 just didn't give a shit anymore.

 

[Khronico]

The Crew mystery continues...

Just tested the beta for the new expansion Wild Run (which overhauls the base game graphics and stuff) and... unless the freezing issue runs on a different, longer interval in which it decides to show up, I think they fixed it? So odd.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

I disagree. I think most of the games I quoted were good to great but obviously we have a difference of opinion. Point is, EA have taken chances and failed - whether the games are good are not they are obviously done with that. Even Titanfall just fell off the map completely but that's probably because of their stupid marketing. "HAVE YOU SEEN TITANFALL?!"

↓ That too

 

[Atraveller]

^Also being a full priced multiplayer game with lackluster community features that couldn't keep players around

NFS popularity in decline, BF suffered from rough launches, Sim City and The Sims ran into the ground, Dragon Age is commercially successful but it's dead to me.

But didn't DS2 began shifting towards more action instead of horror?

Eh, I'd say the combat control is improved from the first game, it's still scary.

 

[Uzzy]

From what I remember they made only Mirrors Edge, Army of Two, Spore and Fuse in last couple of years and only Mirrors Edge was decent one. And Dragon Age is onl newy IP that was successful for them.

Dragon Age wasn't an EA IP at first. And it shows too. Dragon Age: Origins is a fantastic RPG, while 2 and Inquisition are just nails in the coffin of a once great developer.

Perhaps I'm not being fair though. I mean, I'd sooner burn my pc and quit gaming than install Origin.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Eh, I'd say the combat control is improved from the first game, it's still scary.

DS2 on hardcore is one of the most tense things I've ever experienced.

Somewhere, at some point, I saw a website that would let you convert a GOG key for TW3: Hearts of Stone to a Steam key (or a key on a 3rd service that I don't remember).

(1) I can no longer find the URL... anyone know?
(2) Does it work with all GOG keys or only GOG keys from physical editions?
And most importantly:
(3) Is there a similar URL for conversion of an expansion pass key from GOG to Steam if the answer to (2) is yes?

I have to agree with him, tho i got to say, EA definitely isnt the first Pub that comes to my mind when thinking of New and original games.

EA made Dead Space a franchise then killed it within the same generation.

DS released 2008, DS3 released 2013, one could say that they only needed half the generation to accomplish that.

Witcher 3 Dev "Amazed" at Its Success, Has "No Idea" Where Series Goes Next

The studio thought the game's hardcore focus might have limited its appeal, but that wasn't the case.

The game, which cost about $81 million to develop [...]

Wow, that is a load of money. They made a shit ton more back, so good for them the investment paid off. Really crazy when I think about the first game. Some aspects impressive but it never felt triple-a. Very nice to see how the studio evolved.

I'm open to hearing how we should describe the tropes that turn us off about this subset of games.

How Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is still dominating Steam

The big thing GO has compared to Dota is consistency. Even if Valve is slow with balancing, tweaking maps etc there's always something to look forward to after every 2-3 months. Compared to that Dota has been very inconsistent these last years save for TI.
