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.

Are they really that high though? The minimum processor is 4 years old and the graphics card is 3 years old. The graphics card certainly wasn't top end when it came out.

It's a game that's supposed to be really pushing the hardware after all.

The graphics card was better than the top single GPU graphics card that AMD had 4 years ago. If you bought the top end i5 and the top end AMD (sane) GPU then you'd expect better than minimum now, no? CPU especially.

**** me, those minimum specs for Witcher 3: http://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_witcher_3_wild_hunt_pc_system_requirements_are_here/page1

Minimum doesn't mean "barely runs" here but it's an interestingly high bar nonetheless.

Not that much of a surprise. They've always had really high specs. I still shudder at the Ubersampling setting in Witcher 2.

Yeah, the "old" was tongue in cheek somewhat! I turn 39 in a few weeks.

Greetings boardsies! I'm returning to PC gaming after years away, and thought I'd say hello. I have to say, a lot has changed in the last few years - there was no such thing as early bleeding access back in the day, for a start! There was no PC gaming sub-forum here either iirc, so that's a nice change. Glad I stumbled upon the place

So is this forum active enough? Is there a boards Steam group? Any other oul lads here?

What do you define as old? I'm 35......I think!

A prank call is a prank call but that is a seriously bad thing to do. What happens if they keep getting them type of calls then when someone really needs the police for a serious offence. They be like don't bother going probably another prank call. Boy who called wolf springs to mind.

it is totally a dick move by some gamers doing it, this guy was recording when they invaded his business

Haven't seen any news on it in ages , I guess there putting all there efforts into witcher 3?

I read somewhere the other day that they said they have two teams working on both games independently so 2077 should not be affected but who knows really,id imagine it has to have some effect on the release date.

Not surprising, I had a mate put face down in the dirt in some NY alleyway with a gun to his head by a NYPD officer. He was drunk and singing loudly and the police officer took ACTION!!

The star of the show is the XB270HU, which is a 27" monitor with an IPS panel and a resolution of 2560 x 1440. On top of that, it has an extremely high refresh rate of 144 Hz, with a response time of just 1 ms, and support for Nvidia's G-Sync. As far as IPS screens go, this is unseen territory, and we're curious how Acer has managed to pull this one off.

Is South Park: Stick of Truth any good? I know it is suppose to be funny but that combat really annoys me. I think turn based or something. There are loads of games that were suppose to be brilliant with the same combat system. Why didn't they just make it like a normal game run in with sword or magic or gun or what not.

Nothing to do with being stuck on that **** in the swamp for 2 years or so.

that happened to me too also as well

got stuck in that stupid swamp and came back to the game a year or 2 after playin Witcher 2 and replayed it again to completion, worth it

I really wasn't blown away by The Witcher 2's gameplay but I adore the universe it's set in so I said I'd give the books a go.

I still adore the universe.

The dialogue can be a bit clunky to say the least - it's translated from Polish and some elements don't sound like things that humans say but that aside I love them so far.

I've read the Last Wish which is the first book and The Sword of Destiny, which is chronologically the 2nd but was never officially released in English.
I'm almost certain this fan translation is legit and above board so I'm going to link it for anyone interested. (Feel free to snip if necessary mods - google will find it easily enough anyway).

I'll be getting all the rest of the books at some point in the near future. There's another set to be released some time this year and no doubt it'll drum up my previously waning enthusiasm for the Witcher 3.

It's a bit different to the sword and sorcery stuff you might be used to - it's very much character focused and the world it's in is just the backdrop - it's a fantastical and vibrant backdrop, but it's not overly embroiled in exploring it in a way that Tolkien's work was.
It seems to take it as a given that you know what the deal is with how the universe works and just dives in to give you the story.

Goat Simulator is better than I expected. Absolutely pointless, but so full of little details. Great bit of escapism and physics fun.

Damn Borderlands 2 DLC. Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt is seriously difficult. Damn witches and them feckers with the magical spears. Costs 50 grand+ very time you die. Decided after dying so many times that i will come back later. Dying is costing me too much. Fast traveled back to Santuary.

Does the Xbone controller work perfectly via bluetooth or is wired only?

It's wired only also it is not bluetooth, it's wifi as far as I know. I have the xbox 360 pc wifi adaptor so I'm hoping in the future some update will come out to make the wifi adaptor be compatible with the xbox one controller. Wishfull thinking though, I'd say i could be waiting a long time for that to happen.

Anybody here use the new xbox one controller on PC?

I have it, along with the 360 pad for 2 player fifa (mostly). It's a good pad, and i enjoy using it. The rumble works afaik, though i've not used it that much. Worked perfectly once the driver was installed.

Overall though it's by far my preferred over 1440p and 4k.

Which ultrawide screen did you go for? I sold my one4all voucher, so will be buying either a 27" or a 29" over the next day or so. Max budget of around €400.

Dell U2913WM - €390
LG 29UB55 - €342
or
Acer K272HULBMIIDP - €359

Anybody here use the new xbox one controller on PC? Thinking of getting it, not sure though. I'm used to the xbox 360 controller from playing on xbox and it is fine on pc. But playing Borderlands 2 and in the heat of battle I want to change weapon with the dpad and the wrong weapon opens up, like I would be pressing right and as I am so focused on the game I must press slightly up and the weapon allocated to up will open, not good when you need a shotgun quickly as you are just about to die.

The new xbox one controller has a normal plus dpad and also rubble on the triggers so should be good, don't actually know if they work on PC, so if someone is using one let me know. cheers.

MS have released an official driver for both 32/64 bit systems so you should be good to go if you want one. Same layout as the 360 controller so id presume the button mapping is the same.

I agree,the 360 for PC controller is not cutting it anymore,personally im waiting to see what Valve come up with for there controller before i buy anything.
