PC and Console difference?
GAME FREAK with another game on PC in Early Access (courtesy of lashbot)
Forgot to change store name of package, it seems.
They have done many things, like limit number of actions, but sites did find ways around those. So they ruined it themselfes.
I took it from FFXV thread, but the final quality of the game is very shitty, just see the direct feed screens I posted yesterday or so.
GR is only selling post-release keys, anyway. DL Gamer is your best option if you want the pre-order incentives, as far as authorised sellers are concerned.

Hmm yeah their price is OK. Thanks for the link. Playfield.io doesn't have it yet. I might bite on DLGamer after the reviews are out.
So I found out how to change the visual settings and resolution, but where do I go to change the AF through the driver? A guide says: "AnisotropyDegree=1 ;=> AF is broken in the game. Force AF through the driver"
[edit] So after having changed the .ini settings and starting up Double Agent, I am met with a black screen, and this message. I have no idea what it means.

Sad thing is when/if they do release it on pc...the game will still look nothing like the top image. By now everyone should know if someone reveals a game 2-3 years before release it is most likely in-house bullshots.
Here is the tgs video they showed a few years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pgf-Dme7GE4
The final version will look nothing like it.

LOL, you really do have it out for this game, don't you?
Probably still have time left on the warranty, but I don't think I could take the wait for it to be replaced/fixed since I'd end without a usable PC for a while.
And since problems never come alone, now whenever I start a program the HDD reads/writes like crazy and stuff takes long to load. Running tests on the HDD, it comes off clean so it shouldn't be breaking but I can't point out what is the issue. A few internet searches point to Windows Defender/MSE, and I did update MSE yesterday, but even disabling/uninstalling them has solved nothing.

The language from the NieR announcement seems to imply that Square may be shifting strategies to a day and date release strategy with PC.
Intentionally delaying the PC version due to piracy concerns is not only unjustifiable, but it also damages potential revenue as the PC version misses out on marketing and media presence from the console release.
Don't fuck with it.
I doubt Capcom will do anything about the situation, I don't really blame them either as it's not financially viable.

Any recommendations from the Capcom sale? I skipped the PS3/360 gen entirely except for Wii so I never played most of these. How is the new Strider? Apparently it crashes a lot? Most of the reviews for all of these titles are pretty mixed to bad...
Dragon's Dogma for only 17.99 is a damn good deal. Everyone needs to get on it. Not only is the game very good but the pc port is 5 stars. Also most of SteamGAF already has the game and played it for a good amount. So if a lot of your friend list has the game you can get yourself an overpowered pawn and have a ton of fun just steamrolling through everything.

Hmm, it might be interesting, GAME FREAK made an amazing game like Pocket Card Jockey too, so I'd be willing to try it out. How was Tembo the Badass Elephant anyways? I haven't gotten to play it.

Street Fighter X Tekken is good if you can play it offline with friends.
There is an Easy Input option that you can enable using the Gem system.
All Resident Evil games are worth picking up far as I can tell.
SF5 is good too if you like casual play offline or playing with GAFfers online. Has a modding community too.
Dragon's Dogma DA is a great port and you can restore the original main theme.
DMC4SE and DmC '13 are good action games.
DuckTales Remastered is a nice platformer, you can skip cutscenes by pausing the game as well.
Dungeons & Dragons is a duo of Capcom's BEST Beat'em-ups. I strongly recommend giving it a chance.
Lost Planet 3 has a good story and characters, though the gameplay is servicable.
Megaman Legacy collection is an OK compilation of the original 6 games.
Strider 2014 is a decent metroidvania style game.
The Bionic Commando bundle is worth it; you get the 3d action game and remarded is the best 2d bionic commando game to date.
wtf I was going to buy after work
Same... just got fucked =(

Remember that you can refund a game on Steam if your play time is under 2 hours you COULD try them out and if you like them keep them.
I have most of Capcom's games in my Steam library funnily enough XP.

I have one recommendation from the Capcom sale.
Also a little mad that Sfxt is still quite a bit with that DRM.
Edit: I didn't scroll far enough, get the Resident Evil Origins bundle.

I run the game just fine ^^;
this self perpetuated prophecy downgrade stuff is more than anything just really boring
people did the exact same thing with witcha 3 ffs, it's such a tiring, cynical, neverending cycle
hey, i get it, publishers are scummy and use vertical slice footage as final game material, but man i find people gloating on the look of the final result is almost as depressing
i would love a version of the world in which gamers gave publishers less reasons to market their games around polygons and shaders and shit and shit
i always wait until the last day cos whatever, why give publishers my money in advance

the game got its amount of flak about boss fights or LOL ZOMBIES at the time, but it also was a pretty good version of what a deus ex of this age looks like, all things considered
preordering games is always stupid, that's for sure, but that's a real bummer that gmg went super random price drop on release

"Portal Stories: Mel" team are now an Indie studio - making a new VR game:
The future of Prism Studios and our next game!
18 AUGUST - ANNA
Hey everyone!
We're incredibly excited to announce that we've made the leap from mod team to an indie studio!
Recently we've started to work on our first brand new game!
The game is called DR01D!
DR01D is a VR first person puzzle game with a strong narrative, based around solving puzzles simultaneously alongside robot companions who you direct about the map to help you complete tasks, retrieve objects etc. The game takes place in the future, you are part of an advanced AI tasked with fixing your space station after it suffered damage during a meteor storm that has wiped out life on Earth. You will do training puzzles before going down to and fix the station. We're still very early in production so we don't have too many more details to share with you!
We did an interview with Games NI, where you can get a bit more information about DR01D and the team:

I played through the new Strider with little issue. It's a service title. It feels good, plays good, but I still thought it was pretty meh. The level design, bosses, and enemy encounters were lacking. Great speed though.
My recommendations.
DMC4SE - Still the most indepth action title to date. I won't say it's better than DMC3SE, but the mechanics in there are far more refined than DMC3SE. You don't need to be overly skilled to beat the title, but it offers a Quake like skill gap so you can continue to grow well after 100's of hours of play.
Lost Planet - Go with the original over the sequels. LP2 is a fantastic game, the issue is you need coop for it to be a fantastic game and it's dead. LP3 has a serviceable story, but the gameplay is amazingly poor in comparison to the previous two. LP1 has a great single player campaign. Understand this though, it's more designed to be a score attack game. You're always rushing against the clock.
Resident Evil 4 - Any of them are great. 4,5,6,REmake, Zero. And each one is wildly different than the next. 4 is still the best action adventure game to date. It's a 20 hour campaign with great levels, encounters, puzzles, and combat. It's still the most universally loved game on Gaf, or as close too.
Dragon's Dogma - Watch this. You can buy it now
Think Elder Scrolls with a focus on gameplay and an amazing combat system.
Psh, you've got mobile companies looking to buy you out. You should be throwing a SteamGAF party on your mega yacht and buying us all Ferraris as party favors. ; )
Seriously, though, happy birthday, man. : )

Is Ducktales Remastered still plagued with crashing issues?

I'll say DMC4SE is way better than 3 on PC because even with mods 3 is garbage on Steam.
Tizoc
Member
Haven't noticed any crashing issues on my end.
Well, to be honest the ending(s) nailed the original's ending(s) pretty well. lol
I don't even remember the zombies TBH.
3 was a half ass port done by a shit company. Same ones that did Chaos Legion and the original RE4 port.
DMC4 was done by in house Capcom, whose only mistake with their PC titles has been having GFWL in a few. But they switched a while back.
If the title is an MF Framework engine(Their in house), it was designed first on PC and ported down to consoles. Hence why titles using it run beautiful.
Crimsonclaw111
Member
Yeah, I know. DMC4SE is beautiful.
A shame they never redid the HD Collection on PC :/
I just don't get the joy some people seem to take in pointing out how certain titles aren't going to live up to expectations. Okay, so it doesn't look as good as the promos. So? The lesson is that maybe people ought to pay less attention to alpha and concept footage and hold off judgment until the game's actually close to dropping. I just look stuff like this and think, "You'd think everybody would've learned by now".
