I have discovered that RPG roguelites are growing to be one of my favorite genres in the current gaming market so figured I'd create a thread dedicated to compiling a list of some of my top picks and collect some recommendations from other fans of the genre. Roguelite is vs Roguelike: Roguelike...

This is likely one of my most anticipated titles of 2024. Finally we are getting a feudal Japan setting for Assassin's Creed! The game will be following in the footsteps of recent RPG based Assassin's Creed such as Odyssey (same development team), which I actually prefer over the traditional...

This one looks like it could be a bit of fun. Releasing in less than a day. Early reviews have been positive.

Many of you older gamers may remember the 90's classics Magic Carpet 1 & 2. Magic Carpet 2 was notorious for being an unstable game that crashed with a fair degree of frequency. I stumbled upon this project on GitHub that is giving Magic Carpet 2 a much needed revamp that will allow it to run...

Seems like it's the year of golf with PGA Tour 2K23 only released a few months back, now EA is back after a long hiatus from the genre. Releasing in a day or so I'm looking forward to seeing how it shapes up against 2K's entry. Some key points: Will be using Frostbite engine Will feature 30...

Now shut up and make a new Soldier of Fortune game Raven :LOL: https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/23/23138412/activision-blizzard-union-vote-game-workers-alliance

I heard a lot of buzz around this app in early 2021 but cannot for the life of me find if it was ever released. Since I just got a new Samsung TV I was quite excited to give this calibration tool a try but I cannot find it anywhere! If the app hasn't been released, are there any worthwhile TV...

Just received my Samsung QN90A 55" yesterday after upgrading from a Sony X900F. Calling it a major upgrade would be an understatement! After dialling in the settings, this TV looks absolutely stunning in 4K 120hz with G-Sync enabled. The brightness is fantastic! Tried out some HDR gaming and...

Stuck with a bit of a dilemma here. I was cloning a hard drive when all of a sudden the PC restarted itself and got stuck in a boot loop. Trying to access recovery options doesn't work, just goes to blue screen. Haven't had much success with USB recovery either. I was able to boot into a USB Win...

Hi all - I have a 4K TV that I use as my monitor and usually I game in 4K 60hz however, my tv also supports 1080p 120hz and there are a few games that I prefer the higher refresh rate over the higher image clarity. To improve the image quality and still be able to use the display in 120hz, I...

From the Shadow Warrior team, Flying Wild Hog.

I have a somewhat strange issue where after a certain length of time, my QNAP nas file server will cause my whole PC to become unresponsive. I have the NAS share set up as a network drive in explorer. When the PC starts becoming unresponsive, turning off the NAS will return performance to...

I just installed my new Gigabyte 3080 RTX Gaming OC and did a couple of before and after benchmarks with a few games. The most impressive performance increase was with Middle Earth: Shadow of War. This is also my first ever benchmark video, I am by no means a professional, just wanted to share...

This game looks like a really fun genre blend. Coming sometime 2020 "The Riftbreaker is a base-building, survival game with Action-RPG elements. You are an elite scientist/commando inside an advanced Mecha-Suit capable of dimensional rift travel. Hack & slash countless enemies. Build up your...

I was kinda surprised to see this pop up. I thought the franchise was dead in the water, but it looks like HB Studios, the developers of The Golf Club have been contracted to develop a new PGA tour game. It will release on PC along side consoles and Switch...

Apologies if there is already a Galaxy 2.0 thread. Didn't see one from a quick search. Just a heads up, the platform has now entered open beta and can be downloaded here. https://www.gogalaxy.com/en/

My work PC has an R7 370 which supposedly supports 4K @ 60hz. I have it connected to a Philips BDM4350UC which also supports 4K @ 60hz. However, I can only get 30hz max with the GPU and monitor over Displayport. I have tried forcing a custom resolution in the AMD settings, but it says the...

Saw this was just released on Steam and is getting pretty good reviews. Some comments on the game: "It's Fallout... In Russia" "For those that loved Fallout 1&2 and just want some more." "Fallout 5 is amazing!" Sounds like it could be pretty decent for someone looking to relive their old...

The space asshole is back in the Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-MARS-tered edition. I couldn't bring myself to include that horrific pun in the thread title. Everyone who owns the original on Steam will get the remaster for free on the July 3rd release date. I haven't seen a full list of what has...

Hi all - A work colleague has inadvertently opened a malicious Excel email document and I am trying to gauge what kind of damage may have been caused and any further measures we need to take. The colleague has already had a good grilling and a crash course in email security 101. When they...

We all know monitors are all the rage with that technology, seems a shame it would be limited to such small scale displays. Obviously demand is a major factor and not a lot of PC gamers use TVs as their main displays. I would like to see this happen though. Plausible?

I picked this up last night after reading the glowing reviews on the game, and I am not disappointed! Old school shoot 'em up action with a great RPG-lite upgrade progression system, collectibles with temporary and permanent bonuses, multiple ship types with unique bonuses, great graphics and...

I noticed this pop up on steam, but was surprised to see no reviews or even a forum for it? I've heard Elder Scrolls Online has had it's fair share of criticism in the past.. Is the criticism warranted, or is ESO just the victim of mob mentality? I got an uneasy feeling in the back of my head...

Hi all - I've got the sound card in title and have recently brought a new AVR and sound system. However, I am unable to get subwoofer playback with MP3s and other stereo sources. Games and movies all have full 5.1 surround. Apparently a setting called Bass Redirection resolves this on other...

After years of dutiful service my z5500's are slowly dying. Since there are no comparable computer speakers available I am opting to upgrade to the AV receiver / standalone speaker route.This is the set up I am considering. Q Acoustics Q7000i Marantz SR6009 I am looking at the Q Acoustics...

I had completely forgotten about backing the kickstarter for this game and had a pleasant surprise this morning when I noticed it was added to my Steam library. Essentially the game aims to be a close replica to the old 4X, Master of Magic. I haven't had a chance to play it yet, but so far it...

Anyone given this title a try yet? Seems to be getting good reviews. Looks like an interesting mix of deck building game and twin stick shooter. Graphics and art style seem nice. Steam Page

Upcoming dungeon crawler in the same vein as Dungeon Master, Legend of Grimrock, Might & Magic etc. Apparently it is more battle focused than puzzle focused. Looks like it could be good. Will probably pick it up on launch day and will report back with impressions. Due Nov 6th Steam...

Anyone else looking forward to this one? It's from the creators of Torchlight and is a space exploration sandbox/RPG. The devs call it a space western and is cross between Freelancer/Privateer + AC:Black Flag + Sid Meier's Pirates! + Star Control 2 with a healthy dose of Firefly. Due for...

The kickstarter has already been funded after 72 hours. Always been a fan of good JRPGs. "Classic JRPG combat meets action packed dungeons and stylish storytelling. Use skills and strategy to survive a lush, brutal landscape."...

We've had a large spike in bandwidth usage over the past couple of months and I'm trying to find some software that will report bandwidth statistics for each workstation in our network. Is there a good solution that doesn't require software to be installed on each machine?

Hi all - We recently had a brazen idiot walk in and steal a laptop from an unsecured office. We're looking at installing security software on our workstations and laptops that has features such as remote data deletion, system locking and remote tracking. Are there any solutions that come as...

I've done some googling and hunting around the web store and client store but can't find any option for hiding Early Access titles from areas such as "All New Releases" and "All Upcoming" titles. Personally I never buy early access games and they kinda clog up the search results! Has anyone...

I've got a free copy of The Witcher 3 to give away since I own a Titan X and already bought the game. So, the deal is, I'll give the code to the person who can come up with the best "I deserve a free copy of The Witcher 3 because..." within 24 hours of the posting of this thread. Top rated...

I was surpised to see the 24gb RAM requirement for Titan X on the nVidia website. Some users have scratched this up as a typo, but apparently nVidia & EVGA reps have confirmed the 24gb requirement is correct. This is supposedly due to the large 12gb VRAM. It seemed odd as I don't recall...

We all know that the Titan X is currently the best single card available for 4K gaming. For those of us with lowly 1080p displays, does the Titan X 4K performance still translate well whilst using DSR? Real world example. Watch-Dogs or Crysis 3 @ 1080p with DSR 4K downsampling? Will that 12gb...

Has anyone grabbed Deathtrap yet? It's from Neocore, the makers of The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing. Essentially they have taken the tower defense aspect from Val Helsing and developed an entire game around it. User reviews sound very promising. Steam Page

Well isn't this a pleasant surprise! Publisher Nordic Games who acquired the rights to the Red Faction franchise when THQ went bust, has removed the much despised Games For Windows Live and replaced it with Steamworks. Matchmaking and multiplayer, along with leaderboards, voice chat, and...

The recent dev diary focusing on the gore engine for the upcoming Killing Floor 2, gave a nod to fan favorite, Soldier of Fortune. Looks.. :cool: bloody good. Killing Floor 2 Dev Diary 2: The Gore Part 1
