I will not be updating every Daily/Weekly/etc. sale. The tools to help individuals become a smarter shopper will be provided below.

Thanks, Foxhack! It was only $3, but I thought I should ask before I open it. Also, it said Collector's Edition on the box, but the only thing in the box was the disc, a code, and a collector's edition art print which was a piece of paper with a drawing of a car on it. Not much of a collector's edition if you ask me, but hey, I'll take it!

Wow. Read his update. I don't think I even want him to get the 35 cents that buying the Indiegala bundle would give him.

So... who's going to be the one to tell him that there's no way he's getting 35 cents for each bundle?

For the first 24 hours it is $3.49 / 10 = .35.

Tomorrow it'll go up to $3.99 and they'll sell 2 bundles.

Then it'll be happy hour and he'll be lucky to get a dime.

In addition to being naturally bad at PR, apparently all developers are bad at math.

So Ubisoft sent out a survey, and they start asking about how I feel about certain publishers.

First question;

I know I'm a few months late on this, but  fuck Dishonored 2.

Took me forever to get it running at a steady 60 FPS while avoiding screen tearing, and the awful blurriness of FXAA/TXAA. I haven't even left the first room yet, I hope the framerate holds up when I go outside.

I hardly want to play anymore.

Don't even expect 60FPS with Dishonored 2, if you want it to look really good.

As great as the game itself actually is, to get it running + looking worth a damn + actually stable to avoid framerates from bouncing all over the place, up and down and all over like a roller coaster ride - you're likely going to need + use either the 45FPS in-game cap, 30FPS in-game cap, or lock it down to some FPS you decide on your own w/ some external program like MSI Afterburner.

I ran it on Medium settings w/ FXAA w/ 45FPS cap at 1440p myself on my rig (i7 950 Bloomfield, 16 GB RAM DDR3, GTX 970).

Also, when did the RAGE Engine games (i.e. games based off the horribly un-optimized Id Tech 5) ever run great?

PC versions of RAGE, Wolf: TNO, and The Evil Within all had stiff requirements and ran like console-like crap upon release (i.e. don't expect 60FPS unless you're sacrificing something majorly here).

Dishonored 2 can join that list, as their Void Engine is doomed (pun intended) since it is on Id Tech 5 (RAGE's Engine) and isn't on Id Tech 6 (which Doom 2016 is on - and that game runs great).

Anyone know what time Tremor usually restocks their Humble Bundle games? I've been trying to grab Shadowrun Hong Kong but it seems like they update the site in the middle of the night.

My blurriness is usually caused by non-AA methods.

If one has enough performance + power, one can always double-up on the AA.

Mix in-game TXAA + video card's software Control Panel FXAA or use other AA methods (MSAA, if you have the power), set it to "Enhance" each other.

That can help to try to get rid of the blur, Vaseline-look, and smearing-look that comes when only using TXAA.

are GOG keys worth anything? I got a key for Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's cut thats collecting dust. would like to give it away around x-mas time or at least trade it for something else (i already own it on steam & gog).

Depends on who you talk to.

I think most here on CAG especially in this thread prefer Steam. As a service, it's Light Years better than every other service (GOG, UPlay, Origin, etc) on PC.

Though, personally - I also really love the "No DRM" attitude that comes w/ GoG.

I already have Dragonfall DC on Steam + DRM-Free download from HB, BTW.

dragonfall has Steam Workshop support. GoG version is .. not recommended unless u got someone dumb enough or just want to get the GoG version for collection purpose

 
catsxcradle said:
well you can use nexusmods with the drm-free version but I can see how the integration of steamworkshop would give steam the leg up as far as convenience goes. Thanks for the input, i'll just hold on to the key till whenever.

the nexusmods integration was a pain in a butt. The mods there were either outdated, incompatible or just broke the game whenever there was a new update for Dragonfall. Ppl has attempted to write automatic scripts to convert Steam WS module to work with GoG in the past but I think the effort fell through (at least it was, last I looked). I was so tired of dealing with these craps so I got the Steam version for a little peace of mind.

These problems are not found with Steam version. just an FYI for ppl who are on the fence between GoG and Steam version.

It's also worth bearing in mind that some GOG keys, especially giveaway freebies or keys from bundles, have a tendency to expire, so you may want to ensure that yours doesn't have an expiration date before you toss it in a spreadsheet and forget about it.

Actually I'm pretty sure VRAM won't help with a hangover, but, yeah. . . .

You guys should drown your sorrows in bronights.  We've been getting them started back up for the new year.  This week we had a good Rainbow Six Siege session and last night did Project Cars (looks great but had to switch because only Bah and I showed up) and then switched to Battlefield 1 which was a lot of fun once I stopped being a shitty sniper and became an average support.  

Will probably try to do some The Secret World soon if anyone wants to shake the rust off their bundle copy.
