I might be interested. I'm just waiting on my house mate to try the first one, to see if he's interested too. Not definite, but possibly the two of us.

I love getting new hardward. I systematically try every game i own to see how much better it looks and runs! hours of fun in the settings menus :)

That way can lie depression, though, because usually when I do an upgrade it's a big one, so I crank everything up to full. If new kit struggles *then* - because the game scales up to or beyond the absolute bleeding edge - I get unhappy that I'm going to need to upgrade again at some point.

I love wallowing in the blissful ignorance that is believing in a 'future-proof' PC.

Played some more Orcs Must Die! that I bought from last(?) sale. Not getting 5 skulls is the worst feeling in the world and will probably make me hate this game, since about a third of the way through it's starting to get sort of hard.

Just woke up.. Looks like Torchlight won. The Outsider and LuuKyK. Check your PMs.

I voted for Driver (missed it earlier for $5.74). I'm buying the winner either way.

Well, gotta use whatever that's available. :) Actually netbooks with amd fusion cpu is pretty ok for gaming (for older games).
Copying my steam games over now. Can't wait!

Ah, that's not as bad. The netbooks I'm used to are those really junk HP Mini ones. I've personally wanted to get that one HP netbook with the dedicated Nvidia chip at one point though, can't recall it's name.

Damn, I wouldn't mind all of those community choice games, specifically NFS and Driver though. Saying that, I really wish I got NFS when it came out as no one I know plays it anymore so it doesn't seem worth it. Totally voting for Driver. Please say everyone else is?

In case anyone is wondering when Crysis 2 inevitably goes on sale again, the game looks fucking awesome and runs amazingly on my old PC (full graphics...directx 9 though)

hey guys so might as well throw a quick offtopic question:

I have some money coming my way and im thinking about going from my 26 inch HDTV (720p) that ive been using for gaming since my monitor broke (have a second one but 19 inches is too small) to a new one.

Im thinking 23 inches, LED, 1080p.

Now: my setup is a gtx560ti and an i5 2500k at stock without the possibility to do hardware OC (damn motherboard).

so my question is: do you think games will get a big noticeable drop in performance going from my old res (1360x768) to 1080p with that setup? and if so, will the extra res still be worth it? ive been doing fine with my TV but the grays are kinda freaking out on me somtimes, and it's about time I go 1920x1080 anyway, but yeah.. the concept of games running worse doesnt really excite me since I wont be able to do a hardware upgrade for a while.

probably cross-posting on the PC thread if I dont get a response here, since it's not the best place to ask but way more active.

I have the same card, but with a much older CPU(Q6600), and I can max out most games at 1900x1200 with ease. I have a 27 inch monitor, I dont think I could go any smaller in the future though, it is so nice.

LastRemnant1.jpg


Guys, The Last Remnant is $8.99 over at Green Man Gaming. Buy this if you have any interest in RPGs at all. It's probably the best RPG Square Enix has done in a long time. Play it for the great battle system (turn-based) and fuckawesome music. The story is not why you should be playing this, but it does have its moments. Also, no random battles for those whose panties get in a twist over that.

The PC version is so godly compared to the bad 360 version. Lots of tweaks, improvements, and so on. The best one being a Turbo feature that doubles the speed of battles.

And, yes, it will activate on Steam!

Understandable, but you should be fine with that resolution, you have a good computer right now. Also, its not like a lot of games are pushing hardware that hard right now.
Click to expand...

on the plus side i'll still have the old one (will probably replace my 19 inch one as the second monitor), wich i'll probably keep using for comfy couch games to play from afar with my 360 controller

I got it yesterday, thanks to your post. Still got a 3,00€ trade-in, as well as the 20% Voucher, so I only payed 3,69€ or so.

Thanks~

Not sure how the prices are at your end, but I just made the plunge and ordered a Samsung 27" monitor which arrived yesterday (and is fantastic!). It cost me around €50 more then the 23", but do keep in mind that this is a long term investment. It's worth the extra cash, especially to prevent you from regretting not getting a bigger monitor somewhere down the line.

The Last Remnant is also the second best-selling game on GMG right now, too--after the free game that gives you the 20% voucher :p It must be selling pretty well, which is awesome.

It can be pretty long depending on your playstyle. Play it if the itch strikes and you have nothing else you want to play too seriously. TLR will suck you in.

XBOX - RECORD ME LOVING DOWN MY WOMAN GOOD
Dagnabbit. I woke up to see Torchlight won the community vote. I don't think there has been a single game that I wanted that has won the vote. Torchlight is such a common game that most people own it by now. I remember people giving out dozens of keys because preordering T2 got a copy of T1 with it. I personally have never bought it, but I was given a key for free.

The most frequently discounted games seem to be winning the poll. It's rigged! Ballot stuffing!
