The Miscellaneous PC & vidya Games Thread

Well, the port of WWE 2k15 is a mixed bag. The matches are capped at 60 FPS, which is ok for fighting games. However, cutscenes are limited to 30 FPS, sometimes dropping to 20 FPS; though I have no idea why - the scenes that drop don't look more complex than some in match scenes, or have more stuff/lights/shadows or whatever, and changing detail levels helps none.

Worst part is that some of the in match TV camera angles also drop to 30 FPS, sometimes creating a slomo effect.

On the plus side, loading times are MUCH better than on console; no more waiting a couple of minutes to get into matches.

SSI's Pacific General and Fantasy General are now on GOG.

If a shitload of SSI stuff appears, they will be able to see my erection from space.

I remember fantasy general.  I could have a unit that was a musketman tied to a balloon.

I bought The Witcher 2 for like 3 bucks on Steam.

Do you get to bang lots of wenches in this game like in the first one? 

[FunkMonk]

From what I remember, yes. A lot.

I'll be interested to read what you think, Cal.  I was really looking forward to Witcher 2 (loved the first one) and probably only played about 30 minutes of the game before giving up in disgust.  It is easily the most disappointing game I can recall.

[Caliga]

I played thru the tutorial and that's pretty much it so far.  At this point not sure how I feel about the game but it feels really 'busy' to me in that there's a million different things to do in combat, etc.  I don't see a way to remap the keyboard controls which is going to be annoying if that's the case, because I'm left handed and don't like 'traditional' WASD movement.

I wanted to like the Witcher series, but I got so bogged down in the opening of the first game (I found the village/Barghest thing so tedious and boring and drawn out that I just stopped - I'm watching Gopher's play through). After that I thought there was no sense checking out 2 (I prefer playing games with narrative focus in order and not jumping into the middle), and I'll likely skip Witcher 3 till I've at least finished watching the first 2. A shame really, because I really liked the short stories this is based on.
