This thread will attempt to provide a place to discuss past/present/future PC gaming deals. While mainly focusing on Steam games, any standout sales may also be presented. I will not be updating every Daily/Weekly/etc. sale. The tools to help individuals become a smarter shopper will be provided below.

I pay around $60 (£40 in proper money) for a 12mb/s service. It's capped at 350g per month and I get charged £2 for every gig I go over. Although they don't count anything downloaded between midnight and 8am towards the cap.

Yay for competitive pricing! (I have no choice, KC has a monopoly in Hull).

I think the concept of data caps is fair - if you use a shit ton of data, you pay a little more. It's just that the caps are way too low and the prices too high. It's price gouging due to the limited competition the major telecoms face in their markets.

I guess we know where you work at.

I'm in a third world country and I have no data cap.

You guys are supposed to live in modern countries. Why the hell do you get stuck with data caps? It's not like TRANSMITTING DATA COSTS ANYTHING. Most companies have enough hardware to deal with everyone's needs.

Damn greed.

At least we pay for our internet and don't steal it by running a cable across the river to the Wal-Mart across the border.

It's a third world country, so hardly anyone lives there to use the service. No need to impose data caps if no one's using the service!

 
Not to get too political, but those of you who (like me) are stuck with Comcast and nothing else, I encourage you to take the few minutes and write to your elected officials and the FCC about your desire for rate regulation.  See here:

You can check who reps you using this site: http://act.commoncause.org/site/PageServer?pagename=sunlight_advocacy_list_page

The US is already behind most of the world in broadband speed and we pay more for what we do get.  I know the common feeling is that this won't make a difference, but we're going to get pounded by ISPs and cable companies if this trend continues, especially as they see their cable customers erode as more people cut the cord and stream.  They gotta pay for those private jets and hookers somehow.  I sure as hell don't want my home Internet access to be throttled like we see with cell data plans.

TL;DR:

I don't really want to whore out to get the games.....esp since Dino Run never looked amazing and Potatoman was OK but nothing great and extremely short (beat it in 40 minutes I believe) of course one of the options is I don't retweet or post anything which is correct.

Takes like 2 minutes or less to fill out the survey they sent out.. it's not really whoring out. I spent more time watching a man talk about eating pussy on thursdays

Yeah I sent it out and mentioned that I was talking about the games on message boards...facebook/twitter....I don't mess with those very often.

Has anyone here played Dino Run DX or just Dino Run?

So what is the fun of a MP racing game where everyone is racing separately?  Seems pointless.  Might as well just do time trials by yourself.  

That's like hosting an orgy and then telling everyone to go to a room by themselves and fap.

We are still playing, but I have no clue what max players or a room is. I don't check any of that, I just schedule and show up. Usually spoder will check behind me and be all like "um, bro, Sakura Clicker doesn't have MP" except that one time he scheduled a game with no MP and everyone showed up and laughed at him.

 
for those who wants to paritcipate in the divison beta this weekend, u can just preorder the game on amazon.com and cancel the preorder after u redeem ur beta access code on ubisoft.

i received the redeemption code for ubisoft.com instantly. but u might want to do it fast. before they run low on keys like last time with the rainbow six siege beta

Don't worry Rallycross is still there. Regardless it can still be crashy if one person in the front wants. Like I have one friend who would routinely sit at the front of the starting gate and hold reverse so as it released each car no one could get out as we all pushed against each other in one writhing mass of steel. Or if you're in the front you can slow up and start wrecking people. That works best when it's one crash and you're out.

I do this....did it for SFV beta as well. I play on PS4, but yeah with so many games these days playing in the betas is sometimes necessary or watching people playing it. Should have seen that Destiny Beta was kind of lame and that's how the game turned out (though I still played many hours of it). I'm not as dumb now....though I should have known better for the Evolve beta (which I only got to play like 2 matches...oh such a mistake to buy that one).

It depends on the game. The Trackmania games are really fun but everyone races separately. You can make your own tracks in those though which is where half the fun comes from. I might do another Trackmania event sometime, the last one we did in BGCQ was great.

I'm actually surprise this haven't happen yet.

Isn't the pc version of the game completely empty?

It sounds like Squeenix did a good job on the PC version of Rise of the Tomb Raider based on these:

http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/rise-of-the-tomb-raider-geforce-gtx-970-recommended

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-rise-of-the-tomb-raider-pc-face-off

http://www.pcgamer.com/rise-of-the-tomb-raider-review/

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/01/27/rise-of-the-tomb-raider-pc-review/

Nvidia also released a game ready driver for it already. The same driver applies to The Division beta which hits on Friday.

Negatively, Destructoid reports some port issues

In Nixxes, I trust.

Nixxes - who pretty much mostly does PC ports and nothing much else - often handles PC versions of the big AAA Square Enix titles (i.e. all of the TR games since Legend; Deus Ex: HR; Hitman: Absolution; etc). And for the most part, they've done a very good job porting many of Square's titles, technically.

And yes, Nixxes handled Rise of the TR PC version:

http://www.nixxes.com/nixxes/newsdetail/20-uk/news/184-rotr-news-2016

They're also working on Deus Ex: Mankind Divided PC port.

So, I am a silly bastard and bought CoD:BLOPS3 from amazon when it hit $27 and change. I got it on Friday & didn't bother trying to play it until Sunday. Installed the game and went to launch it. Black Screen. Hmnn... Ctrl-alt-del. Re-launch... ok good Activision logo.. black screen. Alt-tab out to see that the game has crashed.. great! Spend the next couple hours trying to fix it. Tried everything google says, modified my config file, reinstalled all my drivers, ran Dxdiag, checked integrity, uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled and reinstalled from the goddam DISCS... etc etc etc. Tried again Monday night and Tuesday.. if I don't get this thing working today I am going to be mighty pissed.

The only option I can think of is actually taking advantage of the free win7 > 10 upgrade a little sooner than I had planned. Ad yes, my computer is well over the min specs for the game so it's not that.

All that said - yes I bought a CoD game and I probably deserve it. I was looking for a high-production value FPS and it was a pretty good discount and I used up some of my free amazon$ ... ok!??!

If anyone has had this problem and manged to fix it, please let me know.

Add more VRAM. :p

On a serious note, though...

Check this thread about "black screen" solutions:

http://steamcommunity.com/app/311210/discussions/0/485623406959344057/

One suggests to dig into the game-folders and give the EXE's for both Steam + BO3 and gave admin rights to both.

Another suggests to mess w/ Dynamic Lighting and AO settings - i.e. turn them down or off.

I don't have the game, but seems this thread has some solutions.

Seems like this game can be hit + miss to get going; and can be a pain to keep running properly, though.

Good luck.

I would have no problem crashing myself without any help, this game is hard plus I don't like to look at the directions it gives you. I just kind of approach every turn blindly and hope for the best. Usually I end up in a tree.
