is The Crew going to be the fastest Ubisoft game ever to not only get a sale but a base price drop? I think so, and I cant wait

Nice!
PS - why Dark Forces 1-2 don't get remaster like this? =(

Not sure - the first DF is a DOS game, right? It should run in DosBox, but Jedi Knight was a Windows 95 game and I think I've read it's a nightmare to run on modern OS. Hopefully one day it will get a remaster.

Oh, and your avatar tells me you have very good taste. :)

I don't know what some people have against the fighting system in Ys I.
Started playing it yesterday and it's ridiculously fun to bump everything to death.

The soundtrack is great as well.

(first time I'm playing an Ys game, btw)

The Music in ys games get better and better.

Morning GAF. I feel tired and miserable.
Gonna call my friend and ask him if he's free to watch The Hobbit today or tomorrow.

Also Far Cry 4's gunplay/combat is annoying, and gyrocopters need to be in EVERY outpost I take over.

Oh and I have a question about Big Picture Mode;
Does it affect the FPS of the game you're playing on an HDTV? I played Wolf Among us at my friend's HDTV and it capped at 50 FPS, when I swear it ran 60 FPS on my laptop when I played it during the summer.

The only similar issue I've had was with Shadow of Mordor, and it seemed to be due to running the game at above 1080p.

Switching it back down to 1080p cleared it up, though.

EDIT: And, yes, the game ran at above 60 frames per second above 1080p while not streaming.

Perhaps it has to do with his display? Sounds weird to be locked at 50 because that doesn't sound like you're getting performance drop.

err thats $10 more than it has any right to be and they just lost one sale, but I suspect not the only one

edit: the game isnt even showing on steam for me anymore

Maybe they read my post and are trying to fix the price to something a sane person would put such an old version of a game up at.

I can dream.

Yes, its for DOS (like Strife), but i mean enhanced port with widescreen support, additional effects and so on.

They just can't appreciate good things. That's all.

Wow, Continuum Shift Extend is launching at $30? That's at least $15 more than I suspected for such a LTTP port.

Gonna have to say "no thanks" on that one, still looking forward to that Xrd though~
Yeah I'll also be saying "no thanks" on this one. Shame, I was looking forward to it. Oh well only five more days till Xrd.
 
Errr my new rig is up and running and I launched CS:GO to try it out (4690K and 970).

FPS's at everything high is 300 steady but I get these HUUUUUGE input lag/frame stuttering spikes that last for fractions of seconds to even a second, rendering the game un playable. I am installing other games right now but there's a large thread in here:

https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/777475/geforce-900-series/gtx-970-frame-hitching-/1/

Anyone having these kinds of problems? My temps are in the low 50's at max.

edit: Dark Souls doesn't have these problems, running at solid 60 with all settings high
I had this happen a few updates ago I believe and I had to uninstall some audio drivers or something that Nvidia updates installed.
 
According to Enhanced Steam, it is $9 in Putinbucks.

Now that I could do. So how fucked is cross-region trading nowadays? I just have to have the game gifted directly instead of inventory shifted, right?

Correct -- as long as it's gifted to you, there are no restrictions.

If someone owns BBCT, it's an additional 10% off for 20% total, which is why I see it at $8.20.
 
Been a bit since I've given away some games:

IMO this thread has no right to complain about BlazBlue CSE being $30, when it spent more than that amount from all posters combined, on copies of Bad Rats.
