The retail release includes the season pass and some small DLC.

Picking this up today on PS4. Looking at early reviews it would appear my concerns above were unfounded. Anybody else getting it? It's one of my favourite games of last gen and now it's on PS4 the Sony boys can get in on this fantastic series.
-
I like the new leveling system. Faith stacks fire and lightning attack, and I've just hit 50 faith. The fire sword you get early on leveled up to +5 is a beast with a faith build. I've had several invaders and 2 hit killed most of them. Looking forward to seeing what a divine greatsword can do!
-
Faith build for me. Going for high miracle damage and healer. Plus looking for a decent weapon that stacks. My mace does but base is a bit low now.
-
Can't wait. It's currently sat pre-installed on my Steam list. Just got to finish Thief this week.
-
Got a spare key for The Elder Scrolls Online beta if anybody is interested.
-
I have some Steam Gifts for the upcoming MOBA (ZOMBA?) Dead Island: Epidemic. Add me on Steam or let me know and I'll gift a copy to whoever wants one.
-
Not a fan of the multiplayer?
-
Yeah I will install high quality texture mods to games that support them, Skyrim and Sleeping Dogs spring to mind. I'm like a kid in sweet shop at the moment.

About £600 not including monitor or peripherals. Although a similar specced PC could be built for less. I just went with some premium quality parts, and also mini ITX stuff generally is a little more expensive. That makes sense about the graphics, and I did connect the monitor to the card via HDMI and it worked fine. The power cable to the GPU also works fine, although I am a little worried about the current through one cable causing heat. I may run another cable, but for the time being I'll just monitor temps. After gaming on laptop for so long, this feels so good..........

I'm amazed I've actually done this without much grief, the trickiest part was identifying the headers for the small connections, and getting the Windows ISO file loaded without a DVD drive. I would highly recommend anyone considering a new PC to build there own. Loving the colour scheme. All in place with covers on. I'll load up some games and perhaps do some benchmarking tomorrow.
-
The voltage is the same @ ~240v. Only the pins on the plug are different.
-
Yeah I would imagine I would need to use the Integrated graphics until I download the GPU drivers? This is the same type of cable I have run at the moment: Like this one, mine has two connectors on one cable daisy chain, I am thinking that it doesn't really matter if I use both connectors on the GPU, as it would still come off the same PSU internal rail as if I had run two separate cables.
-
That is a good tip, a friend was supposed to give me a hand but he was tied up with work stuff. Question: my graphics card uses 2 x 6 pin power connectors, can they come off the same power lead or will I need to run two separate power cables from the PSU? Also, on initial boot up to BIOS, shoul I connect monitor to GPU or Motherboard output?
-
Me too. I bought the case first then decided on the parts based on it. It's not without problems, and it does cause issues due to form factor and size. I haven't installed the DVD drive because it will probably leave insufficient room for the graphics card. Not a huge deal for me, I can't remember the last time I used a DVD-ROM, and I can install windows from a flash drive. This is my first PC build so hopefully everything works when I turn it on next week. It's also kinda amusing that this rig will probably play most games at max settings, yet I'll mostly be playing Hearthstone.

Just started building my new mid-range PC, everything is done apart from the graphics card which I'm picking up on Tuesday. I also need a case fan power splitter. Specs: Bit Fenix Prodigy Mini ITX Case Intel I5 4570 Haswell CPU MSI H87I Motherboard Corsair CX500M PSU Corsair Vengeance 8Gb RAM Seagate 7200 1TB HDD Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Graphics LG 22" 1080p LED Monitor Roccat KONE Mouse Future upgrades when budget allows: CPU Water Cooler (depending on noise levels) 258G SSD Boot/App drive Roccat Keyboard Some more pics of the build:

Not a Steam game, but Hearthstone is out in open beta, and I'm hopelessly addicted.
-
Platinum get! Now to try and beat Rez's high scores.
-

Yep, just checked my inbox and the email from DPD is there. Delivery tomorrow. I doubt I will get it though, it's probably a mistake. Although fingers crossed!

Every race has been nerfed in terms of money given, I believe xp is still the same unless it's a replay - where it halves. I'm not sure because friends who I play with always pick different races. I'm also not one for spamming the same race. I'm particularly looking forward to the custom game creator, and any single player story DLC. Rumour has it that there is reference in the new update for casino and horse racing gambling, in the form of audio logs from the NCP's.

I wouldn't bother buying a helicopter. Once you hit rank 50 a buzzard spawns at the airport and sandy shores airstrip. At your rank I think a cargo bob spawns. I still play a lot on 360, mainly land races and free roam. Level 124. So most of my money goes on custom cars. I now have every type of vehicle maxed out performance - all in a lovely shade of orange. Although I'm getting a little bored, even with the extra races in the beach bum update. Also the patch has drastically reduced the amount of money you earn after completing races and missions.
