If a Mod feels this does not warrant its only thread go ahead and delete.

I was on Amazon(US) earlier today and saw that is up for pre-order GTA V is set for a PC release on the 27th of Jan 2015. It was priced up at $60 which probably means it could be on stream for €60 and cheaper elsewhere.

I feel the 60 mark is a bit steep for a game that will be 1 year and 4 month and 10 days old by the time a PC user can play it. I was expecting maybe it around the 40euro mark.

Saying that it will still sell like hot cakes and ill too pick it up.

Yeah, i've no interest in MOBA's or Hearthstone to be honest, so i'll only be interested in the Starcraft finale. Still haven't played the HotS, but will do once we get closer to the release date of the last part.

Blizzcon is this weekend.

Hopefully they're going to announce Legacy of the Void, ideally to be released around March/April (if Heart of the Swarm is anything to go by).

Rumours that there's going to be a Hearthstone expansion and Heroes of the Storm has been kicking about for a while now so maybe they'll give a release day for that too.

I think I had my fill of Mobas when they were just mods for Warcraft 3.

I've still never played Crysis. Got about an hour in back when it was launched, and it burned out my graphics card iirc. Pretty sure i bought it for a few quid in a Steam sale, so must give it a go.

Initially it wouldn't run for me on Windows 8.1.

I think I found the fix for it on the steam forums though and it's pretty straightforward.

Having a playthrough of Crysis (and Warhead after that) at the moment.

What a masterpiece it is.

You have to replay it to realise why 2 and 3 were seen as such let downs.

Bit puzzled by this.

It's a fan-made version of Halo made in CryEngine.

Not sure what the legal dealy is with it. I would think it'd be the same as Black Mesa but that didn't seem to have too many problems.

Any HD quality setting is crashing the flash player in Firefox for me on the 60fps vids. I know Chrome supports it but ive become very attached to Firefox over the years so i guess ill be waiting till it supports it. Shame cant choose the fps till then.

Good move on googles part though imo,now not only get to play at 60fps but get to watch it as well:)

Anyone still playing Titanfall?

I started playing Skyrim again recently and was wandering around Winterhold when a quest appeared from a long forgotten mod I'd installed ages ago, and had forgotten about. It simply said "The Blue Box". I decided to the do the quest and walked into an old Chapel type building and saw this.

Brilliant!

Modding tools have been released today which reminded me about it... Mostly positive reviews from Steam users too.

Edit: Well scratch that - I don't meet the minimum specs. Boo-urns. Happening a lot now (as is to be expected), but I can't afford to build atm. :rolleyes:

degrassinoel

was thinking about getting that too, teh critics seem to like it but i'm still not sure either

McSasquatch II

Anyone here playing Endless Legend? I like the cut of it's jib, but am afraid to commit having been burned before.

Oh yeah, I'm well used to the standard slowness, but it's been exceptionally slow for me tonight.

Wossack

the store, offers popup page, profile pages etc have always being real slow for me. Funny, cause it downloads updates etc full speed no bother, but just seems like the 'web' stuff is delivered over a 28 baud modem

Sonics2k

Is Steam running slow as hell for anyone else? Not able to load the store page or workshop pages. Same on the website too.

Spilled beer on the Cyborg KB last week, took it apart and cleaned it and left it for a few days. Sweating now trying it.....

Using the cheapest KB Argos had anyone who says KBs dont matter is very wrong

Even just for using in the day to day it's really nice to have all the space.

It's tough to run without modern hardware (ideally, a 3GB graphics card) for the more challenging games (Battlefield, Crysis, etc) but it runs strategy games easily and they look glorious.

There's just so much screen and everything is incredibly sharp.

I've loved mine. Got a Shimian from Korea (see Yamakasi Catleap thread over on the PC Building forum for more details).

can never have too much desktop space

got one of the dell 27inchers, and still wound up extending onto the old 22" lg one

Thanks so much again.
It says VGN-NW20EF (model number) and it's 4 years old.

I'll do a run on that site

Did you use the site?

To be honest i reckon the laptop would struggle to run the game even on very low settings,from a bit of research the laptop has an old dual core processor(Intel t4300) and the integrated graphics are not up to much. The site should show you where it will struggle as can never be exactly sure by just a laptop model number im looking at the right one as there are so many variations. It does meet the minimum requirements for the game but just about.

If I was getting a 27" monitor, I'd definitely be getting a 1440p one. My friend has one of the Dell ultrasharp ones and it's amazing. I'm very jealous.

Yeah, those are really nice monitors. I went from 27" to 2 x 24", I went with two Dell 16:10 monitors and I'm very happy with it.

There is at 27" and above, in my experience. A bit like how there's a noticeable difference between 1080p and 720p at 24" but maybe not at smaller resolutions for some people.

I ran 1440p with a 6970 2GB for a year and a bit. Worked fine for the games I played but I was playing RTS/Strategy/MMO games usually.
