Blackman Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Avoid the console versions.. Its just an exercise in holding down a bumper to pedal and watching cyclists phase through each other Yeah. I wrote a review on gamefaqs years ago to warn everyone. I made it a thing to finish a TdF in this horrid game. I got the green jersey with a puncher (Cance), all because I can mash buttons like a beast. Laughable. And boring... so boring... At least now it's a bumper button. As for Rollercoaster Tycoon: are you seriously listing that with sports management games? It's not sports and it's definately not management. You have to 'manage' a couple of bogus parameters that hardly matter. Just rake in some cash and build a ride now and then. That's it. Cities: Skylines is good but I stopped playing rather quickly as it was a little too difficult and required too much planning. Kinda like the Requiem mod for Skyrim. I love that thing but I just suck at it. Not being able to 'warp' and being as unprepared as I am, I often choke and die rather horribly. Of course WMMA and TEW require planning as well, but I like to take my time there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Nection Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I just got my platinum trophy in Destiny a week ago and made a video to mark the occasion. If anyone has a PS4 I would be glad to help them accomplish this too... Check out the video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 For some reason my Destiny didn't come with any trophies. It was digital, I deleted it some time ago because I thought it was pretty boring. Yet, I'm still confused to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Destiny is digital too if your playing on XBOX then it is achievements for you that you earn not trophies. I do agree that before the DLCs the content on destiny was....yuck.

I do agree that before the DLCs the content on destiny was....yuck. After the DLC, they have kinda screwed things up.. It was going dirt cheap so I picked up an XB1 copy of it. Got to Lv4 and running through the Cosmodrone and back to the point where you find your ship. Suddenly.. Bamm. I've been one-shotted by a ?? Queenbreaker Captain. I respawn and try sneak past.. dead. My only option is to sprint through the entire area and hope he doesn't get me. Then in another area of the Cosmodrone, an entire hunting party of ?? wolves drop in.. Also.. I don't even have that DLC What the hell.. Its a newbie area.. Couldn't they have segregated people that wanted to do that somewhere else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole Walking Dead collection is 11€, but it's still somewhat too much for me, even though it's probably worth it. I don't like the zombie setting, but I might end up buying it somewhere along the road as I did appreciate Game of Thrones (-ep4) and Wolf Among Us. Good games, and worth 9€ as you basically pay a movie ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjb000 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Attention all PC gamers! I am in need of another opinion. Here's the situation... A coupe months ago I upgraded my GPU to a GTX 970. It was the best bang for the buck and at the time, I only had a 1080p / 60hz monitor so I didn't need the extra power of the 980. But now, I have JUST purchased a new monitor that is rocking a 1440p resolution and 144hz refresh rate. While my 970 is still a capable card, I'm sort of wondering if it's already time to upgrade since I got the extra cash at the moment. I was wondering if it would be wiser to buy another GTX 970 and SLI it up with my current 970 or if I should sell my current 970 and go for the newer 980ti??? My main concern is VRAM as the 970 only has ~4GB (3.5 usable or something lie that) and the 980ti has 6GB. I hear DirectX 12 will support stackable VRAM for SLI, but I think that will only work if the game was made using DirectX 12. Am I wrong? I would love to restart playing The Witcher 3 in 1440p with more than 60 fps if possible. Also, I should note that I have a 1000w power supply, so I'm sure I could handle SLI. Any help from my fellow PC gamers/nerds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 If you got the extra cash: why not? Just ask yourself what else you're going to do with it. I wouldn't upgrade so soon, but I'm not u. Would you keep the 970 (great card btw) as a second GPU or would you sell it? I assume it still fetches a nice price. As for the Humble Telltales bundle: if you only want 3 games, just add some of the 1$-games to the bucket and you'll pay even less than the 3-game amount. Walking Dead bundle would be about 10,6€, but with 2 random 1€-games it's actually 9,4€. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help from my fellow PC gamers/nerds? If power consumption is no object, then go for SLI every time. In all the benchmarks I've seen, 970 SLI slays a single 980 every time. People say that video games aren't optimised for SLI and it makes no difference, but they're the ones who can't afford two video cards.

Good games, and worth 9€ as you basically pay a movie ticket. I believe you can play the first episode or so for free on Android/IOS, if you want to get a taste of those games. I personally love most games by Telltale (Jurassic Park being the exception, that game was quite a stinker) and have had an amazing time playing The Walking Dead 1+2, Back to The Future and The Wolf Among Us. And I can't wait to give Game of Thrones and Tales from The Borderlands a spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Yes, I played the first episode for free back on Xbox 360, so I know they're good games. Ended up buying the whole zit for 10$ which is fine, though there's bound to be a humblebundle for it at one time, but since this action was on humblebundle, it should take half a year at the very least. Too bad they're not DRM-free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packerman120 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Yup, I threw in three one dollar games and ended up saving huge on GoT and Borderlands. Also, woke up this morning and saw this in my e-mail. Looks like I shall be busy! https://gyazo.com/6193de0391d51e2cfef306d619a90e3c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjb000 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Thanks for the response fellas! I decided to buy another GTX 970 and SLI with my current 970. If I run into SLI issues, I can always disable the second card. It might be a little bit of a hassle, but hopefully worth it. The card should be here tomorrow it looks like! Just in time for Phantom Pain! Looks like it's time for me to finally play MGS5: Grounds Zeroes to prep for Phantom Pain! I hear it only takes a couple hours to beat, so hopefully I'll have it done tonight. Also, the early reviews for Mad Max are very mixed from the ones I've read so far. I really wanted the game to be good, especially after seeing Fury Road. Think I might hold out a little bit longer for more reviews before I even consider getting it. I'm a little bit worried about the PC port too. Like I said, I'll wait to see what some of the Steam user reviews say and go from there. EDIT: Looks like Mad Max is actually very well optimized for PC. I'm tempted to get it now... Got my new 970 hooked up and SLI'd. Got quite a big improvement in The Witcher 3. I can play with just about everything maxed out at 1440p and I can get a little over 60 fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarity Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Played a little of Metal Gear Solid V. What the hell is that opening!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleisch Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I've just started playing Mad Max (figured Batman Arkham Knight needed a break) and have got to say I am actually really enjoying it. I'm not too far in at the moment but from what I have played I have to say I'm most impressed with the combat. It is very Batman-esque and for the most part uses the same fighting style (Y to counter, X to attack etc). Firing your weapon is something I'm still getting used to (LB then B doesn't feel right to me yet) The handling of the vehicles are a bit similar to each other, but then apart from my car I've only driven 3 others that I may or may not have hijacked using my trusty harpoon to pull the driver out of the moving vehicle.
