Godammit. There goes 30 bucks down the toilet. 30 dollars? I thought it was on sale. What's your current computer setup/specs? Have you tried upgrading your drivers, etc? While I'm here in this thread, I guess I'd also like to add that Mario Kart 8 is the bombdiggity. 1080p 60fps arcade racing, so good!

The 30 bucks was for the game and all the DLC released with it; I don't recall what the original price for that package was but, I couldn't resist. Drivers and everything I've got are up to date. My laptop is not up to par, though.

If it's any consolation, here's a Steam Sale Mindfuck: Two Worlds II ~$4.99 Two Worlds II Expansion ~$2.50OR Two Worlds II: VELVET EDITION!!! - Two Worlds II - Two Worlds II Expansion ~$25.00= YAY MATHS!!! *Bonus Mindfuck: Amazon Two Worlds II: VELVET EDITION BUT FOR REAL LIFE THIS TIME =$17.99And you know some poor sod fell for that bullshit, no less. As of late Steam Sales have been looking like a lineup of prostitutes with increasingly severe cases of crabs up to the last one which is an actual crab in fishnets. I've said it once. I've said it twice. I've said it sipping chicken soup with rice: FUCK YOUR INDIE SHIT, STEAM!!! I'm not being facetious, what the hell is this--> store.steampowered.com/app/305472/?snr=1_4_4__106Has it gotten so bad that some indie devs throw their arms up yelling "fuck it" and Valve just says "Sounds like a good business plan to us!" Some of this shit looks like it would cost fifteen bucks about three decades ago, and seeing it on a "steam sale" is like Verizon trying to sell a mobile the size of a brick. Hell, look at this: "About the Game The arcade-style FPS returns! Play as Kain Sager - the one man prepared for a crisis in a utopian future. Battle your way past hordes of monsters, traps, and bosses as you single-handedly take down an invading alien empire, and save mankind from certain doom!" $15.00... EARLY ACCESS.
Wow. That would have sounded badass! ... in the twentieth goddamn century. What really blows my mind is that this shit is EARLY ACCESS. Because it's not like Doom, Wolfenstein, Duke-Nukem, and every off-brand piece of coin-eating shitware beat this son of a whore to the punch a few decades ago; they need to TEST THIS SHIT FOR YOUR MONEY.
As much as I now cannot ever go back to a console, anyone trying to throw about that whole "PC Master Race" bullshit can just sit back and look at the stupid motherfuckers paying to be beta testers for a bunch of monocle-wearing twats trying to reinvent the Ford Pinto. It's almost starting to make sense in some backwards manner as to why people started creaming their cookies about EA's ("Yeah, that EA!") $60 plus additional online and Xbox Live fees, multiplayer only, 6 vs 6 + Bots shooter. It's a damn shame, too, but with all of those factors I can only see it as more Titanfuck-you-over-a-barrel just from EA being involved, let alone the fact it's full priced and can't even bother with a bloody single player mode because it had to be streamlined for Call of Dumbasses who weren't biting on Battlefield 12 or Halo 8 and a half.
I only bring the latter example up because I've been looking into even multiplayer games that DO have bots - mod-added or already included - like Hawken (from what I've read at least) which has added a new bots training type of mode or maybe something else if I can find it more on the shooty side. I've heard Team Fortress 2 has something like that with bots as well, but I'm not too big on the cartoony visuals. That said, I'm not averse to cel-shaded (I liked Wind Waker's graphics and wouldn't mind trying Borderlands 2 when it drops), but games like TF2 and Torchlight 2 start to cross my tolerance line and games like WoW look downright fucktarded silly to me.
For those who DO like the animated look, though, some Naruto (am I spelling that shit right?) game is on sale, but as far as I know it's stupid by its own merits (or not, never watched it so I don't know). Also, Injustice is on a 75% sale on Steam and I'm fucking jealous for having not waited, but the PC is rather devoid of actual fighting games that aren't cartoon, indie hipster shits exclusively dominated by half-naked anime slap-fighters.
