Emasher Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 65, however, my "all games" page lists 71 due to a few source betas and the odd game where the Mac version is counted as a separate game. On a similar note, would anyone say Sniper:Ghost Warrior is worth $5.00 (~£2.50)?
Cube Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Here's a question for y'all, just wondering if anyone has me topped. How many games have you got on your Steam account? http://www.steamcalculator.com Calculator based on the standard values of the games. I have 75 games worth £615.27.
drahkon Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 On a similar note, would anyone say Sniper:Ghost Warrior is worth $5.00 (~£2.50)? Haven't played the game but looked up some reviews. Doesn't look like it's a good game. I won't get it.
Nolan Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 100 Steam Games found worth 1436.01 USD...Steamcalculator is goddamn depressing.... 108 game by my count though...
Wesley Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 120. My account is private and I can't be bothered to change it.
Daft Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Found 41 Games with a value of $706.59 USD/£467.59 GBP Steam sales are evil. I must have spent just over £100. I got given Portal 2, which helped.
drahkon Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) R.U.S.E. and The Settlers 7 are for sale on Steam (20€ each). Anyone care to tell me if one of them is good? Edited May 24, 2011 by drahkon
The Bard Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) I'm getting sick of waiting for Black Mesa to come out, and have decided I might just try and play through the first Half Life as it is. Got a good way through HL: Source, until it got fucking ridiculously hard. Edited June 21, 2011 by The Bard
Cube Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 I'm getting sick of waiting for Black Mesa to come out, and have decided I might just try and play through the first Half Life as it is. Got a good way through HL: Source, until it got fucking ridiculously hard. I found that it runs ridiculously fast on my PC. I got to a part where there are loads of enemies with shotguns and due to the speed of the game there's nothing you can do to avoid getting lasted to pieces.
The Bard Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 What, you mean access the console and enable god mode?
Shorty Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 I found that it runs ridiculously fast on my PC. I got to a part where there are loads of enemies with shotguns and due to the speed of the game there's nothing you can do to avoid getting lasted to pieces. I'm sure you will be able to forcibly add a frame rate limit.
Shorty Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 I have to turn V-Sync on most games I play to stop horizontal screen tear. What is the negative of having this function enabled, that most ultra-settings leave it deselected by default?
McPhee Posted June 22, 2011 Author Posted June 22, 2011 Essentially this means that with double-buffered VSync, the framerate can only be equal to a discrete set of values equal to Refresh / N where N is some positive integer. That means if you're talking about 60Hz refresh rate, the only framerates you can get are 60, 30, 20, 15, 12, 10, etc etc. You can see the big gap between 60 and 30 there. Any framerate between 60 and 30 your video card would normally put out would get dropped to 30. Now maybe you can see why people loathe it. Let's go back to the original example. You're playing your favorite game at 75Hz refresh and 100FPS. You turn VSync on, and the game limits you to 60FPS. No problem, right? Fixed the tearing issue, it looks better. You get to an area that's particularly graphically intensive, an area that would drop your FPS down to about 50 without VSync. Now your card cannot do the 60FPS it was doing before, and since VSync is on, it has to do the next highest one on the list, which is 30FPS. So now your game which was running at 75FPS just halved it's framerate to 30 instantly. Whether or not you find 30FPS smooth doesn't change the fact that the framerate just cut in half suddenly, which you would notice. This is what people hate about it. I guess it's off by default on higher settings because those are the settings most likely to pull a framerate under 60fps.
Wesley Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Indeed it is. Commence people complaining about a noob swarm.
The Bard Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Bullshit man, its like a dream come true for achievement harvesting schemes, just get a server full of noobs and watch the fucking headshots pile. Geniose.
Sméagol Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Steam summer sale has just started. I am looking at Borderland (GotY ed.), but I don’t think I’ll be buying at the moment. Still, if something good comes along..
The Bard Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Borderlands is incredible. I pumped 60+ hours into that game, and I haven't even played it co-op yet.
Mandalore Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Only day 1 of the Steam sale and already there's a deal I just can't refuse - The Witcher 2. I also grabbed the Dawn of War II achievement for my first prize booth ticket. There are a couple of prizes there I wouldn't mind getting.
The Bard Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Borderlands isn't a single player game. True, but back when I got it, the PC online multiplayer was so borked. They fixed it now though, so if anyone fancies shootin some shit, hook me uuuup.
The Bard Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Sure thang man, or we could run through the second playthrough with our beefed up characters. Although, I've been meaning to try out the siren and berzerker characters, so new characters is just as good =D
