Journey - A tale of Strangers, Sands and Scarves
Connorrrr replied to WTF's topic in PlayStation Games
Man, I can't put into words how badly I want to try this game out. It's also going to be a day one purchase for me, I love thatgamecompany. Thanks for telling us your thoughts. It sounds like it's going to be great. -
What the fuck.
-
Well, the steam sales are done. My total spendings including gifts: just under £80... Ouch. ($128)
-
Jeez! I think I spent $10, maybe $20 total? Though that's probably because I already had a bunch of the packs, like the id Pack.
-
About £55 spent but that's cause there's a few titles that I'd forgotten in the previous sales. Steam sales usually take a chunk out of me anyway. I hate December because sales+Steam sales+extra money = gaming getting a huge budget. Not to mention, the past three years I'm always falling ill on or around Christmas (serious flu with stupid hallucinations).
-
I spent about $15USD on three games. <: Honestly, there wasn't much I -had- to have that went on sale anyway.

Puzzle Agent 1 and 2 are great games. A bit short, but for the price I didn't expect much else. Parts of Puzzle Agent 2 did make me laugh out loud, too.

A new English trailer was just released to go with the news of the demo http://www.siliconera.com/2011/07/05/new-catherine-trailer-is-a-sneak-peek-at-next-weeks-demo/
-
Did they mention if it will be in English? I know it's rather popular to play in Japanese with English subtitles, but I prefer entirely English voice overs, and it would be nice to sample the quality of said voice overs. Yep, it'll be in English
-
the American demo is being released next week on both platforms. Hooray!

I quite enjoyed Alpha Protocol too. Despite the many flaws, I think it handled the "choices have consequences" thing very well, and the game changed a great deal depending on your actions. I picked up New Vegas and all it's DLC, and Mount and Blade: Fire and Sword. I've not bought much in the sale so far, as I have everything I'd have wanted.. Hoping some other stuff comes up that interests me.

I played piano in school, haven't played in a long time though, I'm very rusty.
-
Well the SSD was just an idea to make Windows and other bits and pieces faster but in all honesty I like that I'm under budget and may just aim to keep it where it is.
-
I have no intention of downgrading the processor, I'm definitely getting an i7. I could downgrade the video card I suppose, I will do more research. Thanks again. EDIT: I've decided I'm just gonna downgrade the video card to a Radeon HD 6950. Apparently there's not much difference in it and the 6970 and it saves me almost £200, putting me 200 under budget, which is perfect. I can now do things like get a better case and maybe even an SSD if I can stretch that far.
-
Alright, I swapped the motherboard for a P67 so hopefully that's now taken care of. I'm currently over budget by a good 100-200 gbp, but I'm willing to stretch for it, I suppose. I don't really see anywhere I can cut costs more than I have other than the video card and that's the one thing I really don't want to move on if I can help it. I also opted for the cheaper ram from G Skill. Hopefully they're okay. I guess we'll see. So, here's what I'm looking at now: Intel Core i7 960 3.2 ghz Casecom 6788(somewhat worried if this is okay, wanted to cut costs on my last case idea. It's here Nvidia GTX 580 Coolermaster 750w 1tb spinpoint HDD Asrock P67 PRO (Is this okay?) G-skill 8gb RAM Thanks for all the help you guys have been giving me.
-
I'm not too interested in SLI, partly because I'm not totally sure what it is. As long as I'm not going to NEED it, I think I can get by. Well, I've been wanting to get into PC gaming for a while anyway, this is just the motivator I suppose. I might end up taking my consoles after some time living away but I don't want to pack it all in at once.
-
Alright, well I'm liking the look of the Nvidia GTX 580. Is this a good choice that will still be a good card in a couple years? I don't want to have to upgrade for at least two years, but even that is too early, really. I took yours and Masterdex's advice and swapped out for a 1tb Samsung spinpoint, thanks for the tip. Do you have any recommendations? Going off of my new plans to get a GTX 580, what sort of motherboard should I be looking for? That's the component I'm most worried about messing up on, and the one I know the least about, so any and all advice on that would be greatly appreciated.
-
Having done some research on a lot of different nvidia cards just now after reading your post, I've got to say that the 580 is very tempting. It'd push my budget up by around £90 but I think I can push for that and it would be worth it, it looks like a better card that will run the newest games for a lot longer and a lot better than the 6970 I was looking at. Is it worth the swap?
-
I watched Source Code last night. Pretty good film. I wasn't blown away but it had an interesting premise and Jake Gylenhall (sp) was very good.
-
Yeah I see your point but I'd rather have one just on the off chance I need it, never know what I might end up doing with it and they cost a pittance. Yeah that is an issue. I've settled for 800w corsair, since that's a brand I hear thrown around quite often. I know even 800w is high, but rather safe than sorry, and I won't have to worry about when I upgrade something (hopefully)
-
Really? Jeez, some other site I was using was telling me I'd need 750 with less than what I put in so I went for a safe option. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I'll check out the calculator thing and correct that, I'll be able to save a little bit from doing that.
-
Okay, thanks for the help guys. Here's what I have bookmarked at the moment, if you can tell me if I've gone wrong anywhere that would be great, but I think it's all okay. RAM: Corsair 8gb (2x4gb) DDR3 Motherboard: Intel DH67BL H67 Socket 1155 DVI HDMI Out ATX Motherboard(Not sure this is good?) Video Card: Sapphire HD 6970 2GB (not sure why it says sapphire rather than AMD/ATI) Case: Coolermaster Mid tower case PSU: Coolermaster Silent Pro 1000w Processor: Intel Core i7 3.2 ghz DVD Drive: Any old random one HDD: Seagate 1tb 7200 RPM So yeah, how is it looking to you guys? I picked a 1tb instead of a 2tb because I wanted to put some money aside for a monitor, Windows, and all the other things.
-
Yeah, I'm planning to buy it late august/early September, really. Definitely before October at the very latest. Hopefully nothing changes too drastically in that short time.
-
Thanks, I'd really appreciate that. On the site I was using they really over-complicated things by making you choose everything, really, so I was confused as to whether or not I'd need more than what I listed.
-
Who wants to help me join the master race of gaming? http://board.pressxordie.com/topic/1245-console-gamer-seeking-help-joining-the-master-race/
-
In September, I'm moving out of my parents' place and going to live in a student flat when I go to university... As such my room is gonna be really small and I can't take my consoles and 40" tv, so I'm looking to change to PC gaming. I've been messing around on a website that has you pick out the parts and then it builds it for you, but it seems like it's gonna be far too expensive for what I'm going to end up getting, and I think I'd rather just buy the parts and attempt to build it myself. Okay, on to business. What I really need to know is what I need to buy. I know the obvious stuff like a case, power supply, motherboard, processor, RAM, DVD-Drive, HDD, etc. What else do I need, and what are your recommendations for them? I'm sorry I'm being really vague, I'm just totally clueless. Help me become a gaming God like you are! PS: Budget is undecided, but I'm looking under £1000 GBP (1107 euros, 1607 usd) With the limited amount of research I've been doing, I like the look of the ATI Radeon HD 6950, it seems like it'd run new games for a while to come (I could be wrong about this, please correct me if I am). Processor I'm looking at is intel core i7. Everything else, I'm looking for help with. Thanks in advance.

To those of you who bought Recettear in the sale: You're late to an awesome party, but you're gonna love it. Awesome game.
-
If only I could get past the 200,000 mark.
-
A trick I had to rely on was to fail and return to the beginning but with all my awesome stuff.. Then I walked it.
-
The demo was fun and now that I have the full version I hope to have some time to get into it more. I wish it worked in WINE, though as I hate having to boot into XP just for that.
