Fez Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Have you got a link to that? I'd be very interested in having a look. I loved that game. Here you go. Its often irreverent, so, fair warning on that. I loved the game too though and really enjoyed reading it. He's done some others too. The ones for Drakengard and Drakengard 2 were extremely funny.

Inigima Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 As long as they don't start up another useless Steam competitor, I'm ok with it. Hell, Windows support for the 360 controller is already more then most companies have done for the PC platform. Coming soon: Games For Windows Live One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerenthaClone Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Coming soon: Games For Windows Live One Considering GWFL finally is dying its long-deserved death, I think I'd scream. Especially if DS2 PC uses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shryke Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Yeah, I'm doubtful considering GWFL seems to be abandoned. It's actually killing Bulletstorm. At most, you might see something with the Windows 8 store thingy, but I'm hoping not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 My brother and I loved the hell out of this beast. Ha, that was my one. Still got it, actually, but no way of using it. Annoying, as it'd be handy for Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewJ Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Which of them would be best? And preferrably won't allow me to get permanently stuck, if I miss an item/interaction that subsequently becomes unavaliable? I am not retro-hardcore enough for something like that... Hmmm... it's been far too long since I played them for me to remember for sure. But basically, stick to the later ones. The earlier ones all had that problem for sure. Things like the latter King's Quest games should be ok (and have a lot better graphics and be better games all round). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactus Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'm having a hard time thinking of a "renewed Microsoft focus on PC gaming" that I'd be glad to see.I guess they could bring back the Sidewinder. Freelancer sequel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relic Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 FFX was one of the easiest games I've ever played. Hard to imagine having any issues with it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Freelancer sequel? Sod that, we still need StarLancer 2 (and 3, to bridge the gap to Freelancer). With Chris Roberts making a new space game with more money than any space game he's made before and 100% complete creative control and no publisher restrictions, I think the chances of Microsoft luring him back (or EA trying to get more Wing Commander) are pretty close to zero.

fuseprime Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 FFX was one of the easiest games I've ever played. Hard to imagine having any issues with it at all. Yeah, I'm playing the HD remake now, and it's a very simple system indeed. However, I do recall a couple of the battles being tricky, but then again, that was almost 12 years ago.

Talleyrand Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I've been playing through Rome 2 again (Parthia, now own everything east of Cyprus) but i'm starting to give up on as I've reached that point that i've stopped at every other time as my Empire is now big enough that nothing is even a threat to me. I've got three wars going on and in each my troops massively outnumber and outmatch the enemy. Its been a good decade in game since I lost an army and even I just sent in two armies a few turns later and crushed them. I wasn't the biggest fan of realm divide but at least it made the last third of a campaign challanging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabronius Maximus Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Just a random question, but I'm really wondering after I upgraded to a GTX 770. What games have the best graphics on PC? Outside of Civ 5, Skyrim and a handful of older games, I've only played on consoles. I wanna see some eyecandy for once :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcibiades Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I suppose it's ok. It means that Occulus should have access to more money, and that the technology will be used for none gaming purposes eventually. Judging by the Verge write up, the initial launch of the consumer product should continue as planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBaelish Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Well they canceled Minecraft for Oculus because Facebook creeps them out. I don't know what to make of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabronius Maximus Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I think it could dilute(?) Oculus. From what I was hearing about it before, it was supposed to be primarily a gaming application. Zuck's quote about the acquisition suggests to me they'll take a social media angle on it instead. Not sure how that'll affect its success, but I guess Oculus will have access to more funds, as Alcibiades says (presumably). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfTinyKittens Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I have been trying to get some graphics mods for Skyrim but I seem to be lacking in the installation abilities. What graphics mods do you recommend for Skyrim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless Northman Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Bioshock Infinite was quite good graphically. I mean, Civ5 is very nice, but that's a strategy game, it's nowhere near as impressive as first/third person games. Rome 2 Total War's battles probably look really great as well. What do you guys honk of Facebook buying Oculus Rift?So now you make a Kickstarter just to get bought a few years later for billions by one of the Big Brothers wannabe. Great way of increasing the credibility of kickstarter projects. This crap will just reduce the amount of crowdfunding for any future techie project, because people won't want to be suckers that aren't funding a project but just helping a few people becoming millionaires - and doing the financial groundwork that Facebook should do itself, if it's really interested in that kind of technology. This shit is appalling on so many levels it's not even funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
