Is there *A* definitive Best PC traditional turn-based RPG?
And what's the current best PC traditional turn-based RPG with latest graphics? If I don't have an XBOX can I still buy the cross-buy games? Do they come with a console for G-d mode etc? Thanks! :) I liked the Divinity games and Torment: Tides of Numenera for recent old school CRPGs. Best looking is probably Final Fantasy XV, if youre into the Japanese RPG style. |
Re: PC Gaming Thread
But if I buy an XBOX Anywhere copy I can just play it on the PC without owning the XBOX? I know at first you could just stream and didn't know if there was any "activation" needed.
Thanks for the suggestions keep them coming! :) |

https://www.theverge.com/2015/4/30/8...ing-windows-10 With Xbox Play Anywhere, you're instead getting a license to both the PC and Xbox One versions of a game, linked to the same Microsoft account. |
Re: PC Gaming Thread
So I wanted to download the Final Fantasy XV demo to test it out on this laptop, but seriously, why the hell is it 20gb? That's 7gb larger than Breath of the Wild in its entirety.
Then again, I hear the 4k install is 140gb+. |
Re: PC Gaming Thread
Oh this is pretty nice, EA's Origin Access subscription service is now allowing other publishers.
https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/8/17...d-2-publishers EA has announced that it's opening up its Origin Access PC gaming subscription service to other publishers, with games from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and other publishers set to join the service. First up are a bunch of Batman games from Warner Bros., including Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City, Batman: Arkham Origins, LEGO Batman, LEGO Batman 2, and LEGO Batman 3 that all available now for subscribers. Other games will be added soon, including The Witness, Out of the Park Baseball 19, Lost Castle, Bulletstorm – Lite, and Wasteland 2. |
Re: PC Gaming Thread
Cool :up:
Shame I bought the Batman games and The Witness last week :lol: |
Re: PC Gaming Thread
I always forget that you can even get non-EA games from Origin. Good news though, especially for those who don't have large game collections on Steam.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
This is my first time playing one of these games so I'm not sure how it stacks up against other ones in the genre, but Battletech is really really good.
Scratches that itch for a nice, slow paced game coming off of God of War. |
Re: PC Gaming Thread
I don't imagine most people here don't know of the guy, but John Bain (aka: Total Biscuit, he did a lot of PC gameplay/criticism videos) died today. Dude had been fighting cancer for a few years. He was only 33. I wasn't a fan, but I think he'd been brought up here before. Fuck cancer, man. RIP.

Valve is ending support for Steam on Windows XP and Vista
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...1558-AFCM-4577 Starting on January 1 2019, Steam will officially stop supporting the Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems. This means that after that date the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows. In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of Windows. The newest features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of Windows. In addition, future versions of Steam will require Windows feature and security updates only present in Windows 7 and above. For the remainder of 2018 Steam will continue to run and to launch games on Windows XP and Windows Vista, but other functionality in Steam will be somewhat limited. For example, new features such as the new Steam Chat will not be available. We encourage all users on these operating systems to upgrade to newer versions of Windows in order to have ongoing access to the latest features of Steam, and to ensure future access to all games and other Steam content. |

Re: PC Gaming Thread
I don't do a lot of PC Gaming... none in years, actually. But I have been toying with the idea of getting into VR (Rift or Oculus) and was wondering if anyone can recommend a brand or even a specific laptop that'd get the job done for daily use as well as the occasional VR thing?

https://www.oculus.com/rift/oculus-ready-pcs/ And I think you meant Vive, which has its own lists of "Vive Ready" PCs: https://www.vive.com/us/ready/ However, the PC VR games takes a lot of graphics horsepower, typically more than all but the most expensive gaming laptops can deliver. You might be better off with the Oculus Go or PSVR. Another option might be to get a laptop with a Thunderbolt 3 port and plug in an external GPU when you want to use VR. This is the direction Apple is going with VR on Macs, but there's not many (any?) games available yet. https://www.imore.com/hands-apple-vr-dev-kit https://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/m...u-mac-3673105/ This is also an option for some Windows laptops, but I can't find a good central source listing compatible laptops and results. https://medium.com/@KristianBouw/bui...p-2a8454893a55 |
Re: PC Gaming Thread
Bought the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider from Steam for $2.99. Liking it so far.

Works great with my Rift so far as well (I've only had it for a few days and only own a couple titles, but not so much as a hiccup yet). I actually use it as a travel game console as well (HDMI out + Xbox One or PS4 controller. ), and do some daily work on it, really happy with the purchase. It is a little large, but nothing ridiculous -- but much larger than say a Gigabyte Aero or Razer Blade. |
Re: PC Gaming Thread
Thank you guys... good advice to digest. Was leaning towards a laptop so the wife could use the machine somewhere other than our office. And if I had to get a laptop, I'd like it to do more than surf & Excel.

Re: PC Gaming Thread
Steam summer sale started yesterday. I picked up Fallout 4 and The Forest. I'm going to try to play a game that isnt PUBG or Overwatch, haha.
