I'm going to be setting up a youtube channel because I might as well be productive while looking for a job, SO out of this list of games which would you guys be most interested in watching a lets-play of first?
Hotline Miami
Shovel Knight
Mark of the Ninja
Bastion
Transistor
Limbo
I was also considering doing a little video of Nidhogg, because that game is crazy fun!

Hotline Miami for the sheer frustration it causes.

Shovel Knight
My mate has almost platinum'd Shovel Knight . Not my kind of game tbh.
Has anyone else been drooling over the Fallout 4 footage from E3 ? That will be the game that finally prompts me to upgrade to a PS4.

I dunno, Shovel Knight could surprise you. I haven't played it yet but I'm a sucker for platformers. Plus the soundtrack is apparently awesome.
And yeah Fallout 4 looks amazing. I have no reason to assume it wouldn't be. And Mods will always make it better. The fact that the consoles are getting mods too is also pretty awesome, but I'm sure they'll be a lot more restricted.

Re: Computer Games Thread
i have been playing about with the backwards compatibility on xbox one a little bit, and i have discovered and interesting perk that they will probably fix. basically it emulates an xbox 360 within your xbox one, so your games are not played from disc they have to be installed. when you put a disc in, it does its thing and installs a digital copy of the game. you can then just go ahead and get rid of the disc, as there is no distinction between a copy purchased digitally and one installed from disc. i can see them trying to sort that one out before it releases to the general public.

So the steam sales have been shit this time around. According to Steam's tracker, I've only spent $11.90 this sale. None of the big names seem to be getting good deals, just the indy games (which I already own shit tonnes of).

Re: Computer Games Thread
Bungie are charging £40 for the taken king expansion. It's expensive but whatever.
But wait, there's an edition that includes the base game, dark below, house of wolves AND the taken king? That'll cost a fortune surely. Oh, its £55...
What a slap in the face to people who paid £40-£50 for the game then £35 for the expansion pass...stupid pricing. They can't justify charging £40 for the taken king when they're throwing in content worth at least £75 for just £15 extra, fucking rip off if ever I saw one. Won't be buying it unless they change the price.

Re: Computer Games Thread
Picked up Dark Souls in the Steam sales and actually getting on pretty well with it surprisingly, just ringing the first bell and taking the two gargoyles out first time. Also picked up Arkham Knight today which should be fun.
Tried playing Far Cry 4, but may not finish it. It's just so boring, I have no desire to do much of anything in it and the sandbox is unnecessarily large for what's there.

Re: Computer Games Thread
Almost predictably, Batman Arkham Knight is an absolute mess on PC. What a joke.

Runs like a dream on console. It's seamless, no loading and it is beautiful. ps4 version is meant to be better but really, I can't see it being a noticeable difference from the Xbox one.

Not all, but way too many do this. Why can't every developer be like CD Projekt RED?
Re: Computer Games Thread
Yeah, there's tons of AAA games that run like a dream on PC (See Shadow of Mordor, Dying Light, etcetc)
However this one has been so bad it's now been pulled from Steam till they can fix it.
