That would make sense if a 480 would not kill a 1060 so bad, which is usually not the case at all.
Uninstalled that piece of garbage. Wasted almost 20 hours downloading it. Don't do my mistake, there's a reason they give a free week-end for a single-player game.
A friend of mine is trying to play it, the game costantly crashes for him and he is forced to see the same unskippable cutscene each time.
Also do you know what is funny?
This is free for the week-end, right? But the hours you played remain on your account. So in the future, if you will buy the game to see if devs patched it or not, no matter what, if you played two hours, you are out. No refunds.

Dang, that's terrible about the hours played. Guess I'll only buy in bundle or firesale on Amazon or something. I'm not having any problems on my 750 ti actually, but of course my settings are lower.
The game itself is really boring because the story and characters are garbage.
The game runs fine here, it looked very good in the intro, a bit less in the city hub right after. The problem is the gameplay, boring like hell and bugged even more.

Why wouldnt you just buy your games on PC if you cared about mods tho?

Well thanks for saving the me time then. I was planning to do some fascism this weekend, but I guess I will just focus on Tropico 4 then.

I'm annoyed that Humble Store doesn't sell Doom II on its own.
Saw some steam reviews for Mankind Divided claim the game cannot be played offline, is it true?
If so, away to the "buy a year later at a huge discount" discard pile it goes, DRM like that for a single-player game is a shitty practice that can go die painfully in a fire as far as I'm concerned.

I played it offline for a day because my internet went down. (I had Steam restart in offline mode)

I didn't even really get into the gameplay yet with all the cutscene interruptions. The tutorial mission was so stupid too so I just called it a night there. I'm still going to play a little bit more to give it a chance but I'm not hopeful.
But here it's justified: You can't get micro transactions while offline. I mean, at that point you are just playing a totally different game. I respect Square Enix' creative vision.

Oh that's odd I tried to run it now myself and it didn't play.
I guess u need to restart in offline mode as you said before playing.
Speaking of Denuvo, it looks like it's basically been cracked but the group CPY is just pacing their releases. Doom just got released by them. I wonder if my theory that crack groups are in cahoots with Denuvo to only release after their 2 week guarantee is over has any water.
Very interesting watch/listen, thanks! Also includes Trails praise, which is always good
The whole japanese-voices licensing really seems like a pain in the ass.
Working on a game that is being published by someone else, hmm? Interesting.
I guess it's a good time to post this...

So it seems Ghostlight reached Atlus before for PC ports... :")
I guess it's pretty safe to see Atlus ain't coming to PC ever

Makes even less sense with this statement.
Andrew House: PS4's main competitor isn't the Xbox, it's the PC
Only 9 reasons? I think if a journalist tried hard enough they could probably come up with like 100+ reasons for their article.
Its a great time to be a PC gamer. A 200$ gpu like RX 480 stomps the PS4Pro in all sort of ways. The 1080 TI that comes out next year will be doing circles around the Scorpio and most likely it will be around the same price if not cheaper. The prices are just too in favor of PC gaming at the moment.

But checkerboard reconstruction?
I didn't think they would ever come but i also don't think Ghostlight has the pull and the influence to change their minds
At the very least, you could link us to the thread in question so that we can see how we're being badmouthed. Not that anybody should be badmouthing us in the first place. : (

Maybe they are just jealous when they saw what a SteamGAFer's checklist would look like compared to the consoles.
Fellow community member didn't like the talk about consoles and the Pro here. I'm going to have to read back and see what's up lol.

Yet they still come sniffing around for the free game giveaways.
Some devs at Obsidian recreated Mos Eisley to learn UE4. I hope this translates into a new game by them.

Rights situations can be interesting. It's not usually an area I'm involved with though.
To be honest my answer there was more what I'd personally like us to pick up. So I'm not really sure what the situation is there exactly.

I like when I get lumped into a "fanbase" despite owning every console of this gen, and playing on everything.
Everything has an advantage or disadvantage over the other. Though something will always have more advantages than others. Nothing is ever going to be 100% equal.
I think the PS4 pro isn't that worthy of an upgrade, it's also one hell of an ugly design.
The scorpio seems interesting, but with MS push on PC it's not really needed if you have a decent PC.
WiiU didn't have much to play on it for my tastes, and nintendo want's to take their sweet time showing what the NX is.
I'm more than a bit annoyed with Steam having such a monopoly and still taking ages on fixing basic stuff.
Despite all that i'll play games where ever I want. But I call shit out on every single one of them.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
PC gaming is getting cheaper and more accessible ($200 graphics cards available now are almost as powerful as next year's Xbox console) while console gaming is getting more expensive and less "stable" (mid-generation console iterations, multiplayer subscription services, etc). It makes sense that at some point, probably soon, we'll reach the tipping point - as the article mentions, gaming on PCs has become a lot easier in recent years and provides a much better upgrade path.
I'm still rocking the same AMD CPU I bought in 2011 (FX-8150) which is a 3.6 GHz 8-core that probably still has a few years of life left in it and it was $179. Keep in mind that it's been in use since before the original Binding of Isaac was released, and has yet to be a major performance bottleneck for gaming. The same is true of my 32GB of DDR3-1866 RAM I purchased back when I put this box together.
(Thankfully, all this stuff still works after my recent fire)
There are extra "addon purchases" you can make with PC gaming, but the same can be said of console gaming as well. I bought a nice 27-inch 1440p monitor a while back for $279. I didn't really need it, but 1440p is nice, especially for the games that support it. With the PS4Pro / Scorpio announcements, people are rushing out like mad to spend thousands of dollars on 4K / HDR TVs - same thing. I also bought a Steam Controller (with card monies) and earlier this year I upgraded my Radeon HD7850 from 2012 with a Radeon R390X, meaning I got about 4 years out of my old card and I feel I got a good value from it. Meanwhile, I bought a PS4 almost 2 years ago, and I'm already faced with the choice on whether or not to completely scrap it in favor of an upgraded model.
Don't get me wrong, I'm also firmly in the "buy and enjoy whatever you'd like" camp - I own a gaming PC, Xbox One, PS4, Vita, 3DS, etc (back to the Atari 2600) - but I would say that PC gaming easily offers one of the best value propositions for entertainment I've ever taken part in.

I use my PS4 for Youtube and Xbox for RockBand. Everything else is PC.
Damn those are some slim pickings.
Oh and I just bought Dead Rising, give it to me Capcom. Okami next.
Its all a trap. Don't fall for the marketing buzzwords. All these companies want is for you to buy a 1500$ 4K HDR TV so that you can see some extra bright lighting on your 4K (1440p checkerboarded) textures in games.
Sony sells these tv sets too. Coincidence? I think not.

You'll always be lumped in the dinosaur fanbase. Always.

That's one fanbase I don't mind.
Yeah, it seems like a really complex/convoluted area. I always find it weird when a japanese game gets ported to Steam and is available everywhere - except Japan. Hearing that this might partly be because the voices weren't licensed for PC in Japan is.... weird. (I'm sure there are other reasons as well).
The Atlus PC situation is so strange. I cannot think of a single reason from a business perspective where it woulnd't make sense for some of their games to get ported to PC. It's amusing when I think back to when people thought there would be a possibility for this after they got acquired by Sega and nothing changed. Should have probably been obvious though when you think about it. I mean, it's Sega Europe who does all the PC stuff and you know how it is with Atlus and Europe.

Since Steam is having a Focus Interactive sale going on atm I figured now is a good time to remind people to play Styx: Master of Shadows! At 75% off ($7.49) this game is a must buy! One of the best stealth action games to come out in awhile, this game is great for fans of Metal Gear, Theif, Dishonored, or even Deus Ex. Alot of the devs are ex Assassins Creed guys and it really shows with the traversal mechanics. Seriously worth checking out if you are in the mood for a stealth game. Only disclaimer I have is that this isnt a game where you can just kill everyone once your spotted. Its pretty much all stealth kills only. You can take on 1 maybe 2 guys if spotted but its really not that type of game.

What did they expect? Discussions about consoles in a PC thread is generally about comparison, pros and cons, and PS4 Pro didn't measure up.
