This game looks so much like Dredmor, I find it hard to believe it's not by the same dev.

 

[Vuze]

So... yeah. (Obviously it was a display bug, Fraps shows locked 60 as it was supposed to be)

 

[arts&crafts]

So... yeah.

Thats a lot of FPS i wonder if my eye can see it.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

So... yeah.

260kfps? that's next gen as fuck.

 

[Sajjaja]

260kfps? that's next gen as fuck.

it's not even real life anymore

 

[lucebuce12]

So... yeah.

But can it run Crysis?

God, we really need a new benchmark game for the PC.

Spoiler

Judging from the threads, Shadow of Mordor may just be that game /s

 

[Fantastapotamus]

260kfps? that's next gen as fuck.

Well, the human eye can't really process anything above 30 FPS so you probably don't even see it.

Also, and this might be slightly offtopic, am I the only one getting ads for some korean online game that just stole Dragonball characters?
Just asking.

Isn't Ryse basically just a benchmark tool? SoM doesn't look THAT great, does it?

Yeah, that SoM comment was mostly just an attempt at a joke on my part.

Ryse really is looking up to be the new Crysis, in terms of hardware requirements, but hey, you never know, it may actually be well-optimized.

Steam changing its store isn't going to suddenly change how much money people have to spend. All heavy users know the major sales are only 2 months away and casual users don't generally buy random indie games. Increased page views has value to all games that are actually good in the long term one way or another so if this update serves only that function then it is beneficial to developers.

All real roguelikes look alike. They all look like Rogue.

The spritework in Crypt of the NecroDancer is nice, more pixel than Dredmor. The gameplay is also very unique, as far as Roguelikes go.

Just played a 20 minutes of it and liked it very much. Was worried I wouldn't but it delivers on its concept and has good replayability.

The only thing it's changed is how much I look at the front page. It's a damn mess.

Looks like I'll finally pick it up. I love Roguelikes but not sure about the beat to the music game play.

 

[Braag]

I'm not a fan of the Vsync implementation in both Far Cry 3 or Watch Dogs and even more so Black Flag. D3DOverider sorts Black Flag and Far Cry 3 out by forcing triple buffering but due to Watch Dogs being a 64bit application it doesn't work with that. Though thankfully there is a borderless windowed display option so combining that with capping the framerate with RivaTuner Statisitcs Server (a core part of MSI Afterburner) at your desired limit works like a peach.

huh, I gotta try that out cause all the tearing is starting to make my eyes bleed.

Edit: Holy shit it actually worked, no more tearing and it doesn't kill my fps. Thanks man!

 

[jblank83]

It's definitely an adjustment. There's nothing as complex as Theatrhythm or Guitar Hero, though. It's always a very simple timing. The entire ground lights up in a checkerboard pattern as well, also helping you with the timing.

However, you can change characters to "Bard". When you do that, you no longer have a beat counter and the game plays like a traditional Rogue clone.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Did anyone here back Republique on Kickstarter? If so, would you mind screenshotting the most recent backers-only update and sending it to me? If you feel gross about that, then could you just let me know what the status is of Episode 3 and/or PC/Mac stuff?

Sure.
edit: Done.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

It could be that Sekai Project might work together with Eushully.

Huh, I still don't know about all these eroge devs using sex to promote miniature strategy games. These screens remind me of late Kogado products, like Geotail and Gadget Trial, which are similar in scope and quality of polish. Definitely would get the all-ages releases on Steam, if not GOG.

 

[FloatOn]

I haven't played a match 3 in forever. I bought bejeweled 3 because it's 5 dollars.

It's crack pretty much. Feels pretty good to just turn off your brain and match colors like an idiot.

edit: Also I've resolved to purchase Pier Solar on tuesday. I'm pretty excited about it.

It's free on Origin, why would you pay 5 bucks for it?

 

[freshVeggie]

See EviLore's post here. You can opt out.

Huh, that's good to know. Thanks.

So I just put in a shift doing the first mission in the Watch Dogs Bad Blood DLC and out of curiosity I though I'd check how things were running seeing as it's a big update and bar the first patch performance has improved...
Yeah that's pretty rock solid and was from indoor, outdoor and driving footage at most settings turn up to how I had it at launch with only texture brought down to high.
For comparisons sake here's what I was getting just walking and driving around the starting area a launch (no vsync mind) and absolute minimum settings as well.
Yeah so I can safely say Watch Dogs runs way, way better than it ever has. Might just be the DLC playing smooth but it's the same map as the base game and the same locations so might be worth having a playaround, especially new 970 owners here.

I am not that versed in the technicality behind the figures but do I read this right that the game at release - locked at 60fps - did also have stable framerate? Only the frametimes are much more stable post-patch and fluctuating pre. I don't know how this manifests in the game though? I thought framerate and frametime are directly connected so this leaves me asking for more details, please?!

Bejeweled is the original match 3. It's good stuff, the colors and sounds. I agree: good mindless fun.

As far as non-traditional match games, I highly recommend Might and Magic Clash of Heroes.

The android puzzle quest style games like Doctor Who Legacy are great, but just plain bejeweled I can't stand because it quickly becomes obvious that it's all just random luck.

I dislike Origin because reasons. Also I'm a baller with 5 dollars to spare.

I love Clash of Heroes sooo much. I played it quite a bit on 360 but have only logged an hour or so on steam. I should fix that soon.

I'd rather it be simple and to the point rather than try to hide it under layers of bull. I bought some scifi match 3 game with an overworld map and missions and whatnot. It quickly became tedious. Better just to load up simple Bejeweled and go bling bling bling splurt for awhile, then be done with it.

Not that a complex match game can't be good. Might and Magic Clash of Heroes is insanely good.

Just to get a better read on your preferences, what do you think of Puzzle Quest?

Oh dear. It's a joke, right? D:

Never played it. Maybe some day.

Puzzle Quest is good too.

I wonder if the sequel will work well on my tablet.

[Arthea]

On the point of bejeweled 3 being purely luck based, that's not true, actually. All match 3 games are partly luck based, partly skill, b3 isn't any exception, especially if we include all modes, not classic alone, as classic is more luck based than others.

 

[Kaleinc]

60 fps is nothing when you wield the power of Alt+F4.

This.

 

[Arthea]

I'm not sure my eyes

and ears

can handle even that much in certain games, like for example erotic super joy, btw anybody wants 90% coupon for Groove City still, these seems to be popular and I have one.

edited: hey, it's true, I got Give back bundle free, is it full bundle as in includes all bonuses?

Sarcasm doesn't travel well over the internet, especially when you put no indication of it in your statement. Maybe that's why? Every. Single. Time?

cant wait til someone imports to TTS

30 and 60 fps both look the same. I've seen enough Youtube comparisons to understand even this.

The Treasures of Montezuma 4 is also a pretty good Match 3 game

And speaking of Puzzle Quest and the like, there is a nice looking game on Kickstarter that looks like a mix between Puzzle Quest and Dungeon Raid meets Victorian steampunk mechs!

Ironcast

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/526832900/ironcast-turn-based-steampunk-mech-combat

I backed it, seems like it's going to be a good game

That's cheating, guys =p

 

[Anteater]

I have a friend that can't tell between 30 and 60fps, yet still participate in the framerate wars

 

[BinaryPork2737]

So I'm playing more of X-Com: Terror From the Deep. I don't know why, but it still hasn't clicked with me yet like UFO Defense did.

30 and 60 fps both look the same. I've seen enough Youtube comparisons to understand even this.

The only way to truly compare 30 and 60 fps is through gifs though, everyone knows this.

Since we've opened this can of worms, allow me to correct any 30 FPS idiocy with this link.
