Fullscreen borderless windowed mode should be standard for every game.

I hate when new games get released and STILL don't have it.

What exactly is the benefit?

 

[Miguel81]

Hey I just realized I have a copy of Cho Dengeki Stryker from the sale. I think I got it for someone but they ended up not contacting me. If you want it. PM me. It was on sale for $20. I can't remember what the Russian price is.

Oh, why did I look that up in google? First, it was Regina and now this. Damn you, deviant artists!

 

[Echoplx]

What exactly is the benefit?

No screen tearing and no input lag. basically the best of both worlds.

If only those were from Deviantart...

 

[Rhaknar]

What exactly is the benefit?

it looks like fullscreen but its still in windows, you dont have to tab out?

No screen tearing and no input lag. basically the best of both worlds.

or something actually useful

So would turning Vsync off when in fullscreen borderless mean anything?

 

[Ozium]

so I've been drinking whiskey and I just bought that Indieroyale bundle even tho I already have sun at night..

oh well, apparently 9/10 of the games are steam keys with the last on greenlight so I hope I'm good... otherwise modbot will be busy

 

[MayMay]

Come on guys, do giveaways of stuff thats actually useful instead of all those games - like http://store.steampowered.com/sub/52190/

Wish ppl on TF2Outpost would sell software like that xD Its not locked, and 65% cheaper in Russia. 70$ instead of what it costs now. Wish I could buy Russian stuff myself. lol

Nice thread btw.

Shadow of Mordor is so much fun 0_o

 

[Wolf Akela]

I wonder how much this is worth, just for the novelty of the item. Don't know how rare it is (as an item).

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

When my Joystick award comes in, I plan on raffling it here. Get ready for an XCOM EU giveaway guys!

You can't actually sell it on the market, so...
I also doubt anyone would give you anything for it

If only Shadow of Mordor was co-op. I wanna kill some orcs with you. So much bloodshed.

I definitely think Coop would have been great for this.

Tradeable as gift though.

Well yeah, but there's been other things like that, from various betas and whatnot, that were totally worthless and people were stuck with them

There are still quite a few spares floating around on TF2 Outpost and such, but I'll take it off your hands just for the sake of having it -- this guy is throwing spares away for a key so I'll give you one if you'd like.

I really hate how the taskbar icon of Steam doesn't change to show that it's updating/downloading unlike the old icon. Please telly me there's a way to make the icon show that it's downloading something?

Mine still does this.

 

[Bubbavelli]

Im feeling really really really REALLY REALLY fucking shitty so I bought 6180 the moon for the soundtrack alone. Its at least putting a smile on my face

it's a good little game... hope u feel better

woot another dead state update

i don't really like early access as an idea but i find it really enjoyable to see a game get constant updates, even if they're filling it with missing content, maybe it's cos i like the base game so much heh

 

[donny2112]

I'm okay if we want to ride this thread into October. With the threads creeping to multiple per month, maybe having a quarterly thread that had 5 or 6 parts would be fine.

early access will allow you to enjoy games before they add spiders to them

You can back those up. (sharedconfig.vdf I think?)

They are, but it sometimes derps.


Man, waifu cards are in freefall.

Hey guys.

Can you recommend me a good antivirus for Win 8.1. My Malwarebytes was silently disabled and don't want to take any chances. Any experience with Avira? Or any other paid versions?

Thanks,

 

[Miguel81]

Alien Isolation will be perfect to test out some new headphones. The 35th Anniversay Blu Ray's are also coming out soon(picking up Alien and Aliens). Good times!!

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Hey guys.

Just the built-in Windows Defender is pretty good. It's just Microsoft Security Essentials, basically.

Avira is okay-ish on 7.
It's a good scanner, but it uses a lot of system resources and the free version is an annoying daily popup affair.

Bitdefender is pretty good under 8.1
The free version is kinda bare-bones, though. It protects you, but there's hardly any settings.

AVG is a retarded POS that thinks its own freshly downloaded updates are malware, so...

 

[BiggNife]

Yeah, you dont need an external antivirus with 8.1 because Microsoft finally made MSE built-in instead of something you had to download manually for some reason.

I've been using MSE for a long time now and I haven't had a virus in 5 years or so.

 

[Shadownet]

stuff stuff

I use Avast! Its not amazing but the free version does it job.

Man I thought I was 75% through with Shadow of Mordor and now I'm pretty sure I'm barely 50%. Man this game has a lot of stuff to do.

 

[Salsa]

But is it good I-want-to-do stuff or why-doesn't-it-end boring stuff?
Can't wait to grab my copy at the end of the month!

 

[Milamber]

I said it once and I'll say it again, SoM enemies respawn like Far Cry 2.

 

[Shadownet]

Well in my opinion it'd stuff I want to do. I thought the story was about to end and then bam. Theres more to the story! Beside you can never get too tired of killing orcs.

I do hope there will be mods for this though. I want red blood. The orcs blood in the game even if its faithful to the franchise (orc bloods are dull green/gray) red blood would make the kills so much more rewarding.

 

[AngryChinchilla]

Ubisoft's server is down so I can't continue playing assassin's creed III, or at least not in online mode. I hate this kind of stuff.

How about some purple mist?

Something I came across on Kotaku. Lol Dat Dark Souls 2 roll.

 

[AsfaeksBR]

How big is the map? I see no problem in respawning enemies if the combat is good, but it's awful when they appear when you gotta deal with huge map/driving/fixing car/jamming weapons/malaria and all

Any wors on how many hours to 100% it? I've read somewhere that one guy played 23hrs, finished the game and some sidequests and only did around 35%

 

[Stallion Free]

They are significantly easier to escape in this game though.

Must be through Steam only, because SCBlacklist and ACIV are working on my(

[Shadownet]

Any word on how many hours to 100% it? I've read somewhere that one guy played 23hrs, finished the game and some sidequests and only did around 35%

I'm about 11 and a half hours in. I'm pretty sure I'm only about 50% into the main story mode. Maybe 60% at most. I did most of the sidequests as well. My completion screen said I'm about 48% done.

 

[Atraveller]

I've been using MSE for a long time now and I haven't had a virus in 5 years or so.

Or maybe, it wasn't able to detect anything therefore you think your PC is virus-free.

 

[Milamber]

Not as big as FC2's first map. I'd say 1/4th that. But it is annoying destroying a camp, turning around a small hill to pick up some health or intel and turning around again to find it immediately filled with enemies again.

 

[JaseC]

It may not count as a +1 or even appear in my library, but a "game" is a game.

But, compared to FC2 - its actually fun to kill them over and over again imo lol

 

[Jawmuncher]

After beating the first mission.
The first thing I decided to do with such a big map was get to all the towers.
Being able to fast travel between them is nice. I like the sneaking during missions. But sneaking around when just going from place to place and what not just aint for me.

I had to do some relearning of the sneaking because of all the AssCreed's.

It has become a collectors item? I have one in my inventory
