Ok, so after trying all the tweaked maps in Speedrunners, I really like the changes. The bottom path in the beginning of Amusement Park (the big swing over the pit with the items) seems to be the much better option now, and the two routes in the large room on the right of Factory seem a lot more balanced out now. Doing swings is still faster, but doing the climb on the right is still viable.

I would only bother upgrading to 980 if I had 4 series card or worse.
I also do this often but lately on PC most of the games I play take a long time to finish. Not that I mind and it's usually those games that I love to play only on PC, like strategy games and similar genres. Having great fun is all that matters in the end.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
In short, Hell Yes. Both of them add some much needed meat to the game that make it a much, MUCH better experience overall. When I first got Civ 5 I liked it but not as much as Civ 4 with BTS. Now, after both expansions, I can say that I like Civ 5 a lot more than even Civ 4: BTS. They improve the game a lot, in both some very subtle ways and some very grand ways.
I went full SSD about 2 years ago and never looked back. (Both on desktop and laptop)
I first solely had a 128 GB SSD on my desktop. So everything went onto it: OS, software, docs, and games.
Yes, this was hard. But I'm glad I did this: I had to force myself into the complete & delete mechanic. I was a "semi completionist" anyway so I had no issues with this.
But now with games that are getting 30+ GB that would be impossible.
More so if you want to keep some Multiplayer games on your SSD at all times.
So a few months ago I bought a 500 GB SSD.
Now my 128 GB SSD holds the OS and some smaller games.
While my 500 GB SSD will hold all my games. I still use the complete & delete system though. I will never download something simply because I have space.

Also, don't be afraid that your SSD would die anytime soon because of any of the writes.
That is old, very old information.
The SSD technology has been mature enough for a quite some time now that installing all your games on it, wouldn't impact you at all.
I have yet to hear reports of gamers which' SSD died because they installed all their games on it.
--
Finally, a remark to the Windows 8 users who claim "Win 8 is soo much faster than Win 7. It's well worth the install!" and then still place their games on an old HDD:
If you care so much about "faster" you would install all your games on an SSD.
I don't try to sound elitist, but my - in your eyes "slower" - Windows 7 installation combined with an SSD, will still feel faster while gaming, compared to your Windows 8 installation on an old HDD.
So claiming a certain OS will benefit you in games since it feels "faster", while you still use old HDD technology for your games, is silly.

I cheated my add off to beat it on ios.
You can move in a dungeon exit out and continue where you were with the battle not loaded. I basically grinded and ran through dungeons straight to the boss. I tried to play it seriously up until getting the sub. Still was way more work than it was worth.
why does ppl make those threads in the first place -_-
actually my dad's super afraid of roaches like me and one of those flying ones once got into his apartment so now we never open the windows and we're kind of slowly killing my baby brother by asphyxiaWhy people are so afraid of flying cockroaches? Just use one of these to kill it.
I'm somewhat shocked by SE pricing policy of FF13, it's nothing like their behaviour on consoles. I'm even considering some conspiracy theories, like they sell the first game of trilogy dirty cheap, to get everyone buy it, and then go sky high with other two games (><)

I guess I'll only play Endless Legend for the next days, these games have something that I get so hooked that I don't want to play any other games in the meantime.

the total for the trilogy will be ~$50, which is probably the price they plan on selling the lightning trilogy remaster on the consoles. That's the only reason that this pricing makes sense to me seeing as that SE is known for overcharging for everything final fantasy.
Well, Lightning Returns is still £40, 60 on PS3
no way in hell I'm going to pay $80 for that game, even if port is good and game runs smoothly.
it does, both from my mom and my dad's side everyone's got phobias. cats, birds, spiders, roaches, you name it, someone's got it

Transformers: War for Cybertron is...ok, it's a bland third person shooter in tight corridors, wouldn't spend more time on it.
Since this is an older game who, one can only hope, recouped the development cost already, they can do a sort of experiment with it.
They must have taken into account the sale data for previous FF titles into account when setting the price.
Also, notice how there was no advertisement for the port, it just came out of the blue. Yet it still is the top seller (or in top 5) on Steam, and I suppose it will stay there for a while. Win-win for Squeenix - no cost for them, just bundles of cash.

the fan service is pretty good if your a Transformers fan, which helps to make up for the game play. Just about everything is improved in Fall of Cybertron.

Yeah I played it because so many people were raving about it.
Was very unimpressed.

War is ok. Fall of Cybertron is much better.
Well it is a 4 year old game (5 in Asia's case come December) and Squenix are the masters at dropping digital prices to nothing after release. I'd say it's fair and even more so when you look at the prices they are charging for their DiveIn service. I wonder what XIII-2 and Lighting Returns will come in at and if the DLC will be included, separate purchases or ignored altogether.

Not sure if I should check it out, but Acti's silly notion of a sale price is keeping me from trying.
It's just that I didn't like any of the 3 or 4 FF titles I started, so I never paid further attention to the series. I may keep an eye on it, if the HD version ever goes on sale again on PS3.

It's not the best FF game, but it surely is pretty and has amazing soundtrack, if you like pretty games, it's worth to try for that alone.

Because it's a piece of shit. Won't even look at the steam page for more than a second with scores like that.
if i had to guess i'd say bugs, interface, not being a aaa game?
no first person mode wtf is this shit
dam that sounds like pure hentai for me

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Well this is disturbing: I got a "verify your new location/computer" email from Greenmangaming that I definitely did not request. Changed my password as a precaution.
Would have lost all of my playfire credit if my account had been compromised.
Glad they have two step verification for things like this.

Maybe they aim is not only on profit, but you know, doing goddess works.
Honestly, I never played FF13 before and have zero interest (minus, joined hate bandwagon), but then it's on steam, and cheap. No reason to not give it a shot then.
Ah well, now he's Blocked 2: Electric Boogaloo.

I have just had an epiphany.
I am here spending all my time thinking about whether to upgrade my GPU. I spend 90% reading about games or staring at my Steam library. An integrated chip would therefore suffice; I don't even need the 670.
Anyway, I am stuck as to whether to play episode 4 of The Walking Dead Season 2 or Lego Marvel. Or read GAF all afternoon. Whilst still trying to decide about the card.

Currently playing it. It's definitely a puzzle game. No hard core lua things so far. Still, the menu is toggles and setting values. Simple stuff.
I also know nothing of lua

Wasteland 2 is region locked where it matters right? So the best deal is going to 20-25 dollars right depending on who you can find selling backer keys?

It helps to like Transformers and to be playing in co-op with a bro who also likes Transformers. Then it's a fantastic experience 10/10 would play again.
