Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Forgot a step.

A lot of my time in Steam is spent looking at my library trying to figure out which of the dozens of games in my backlog to play. I get crippled by the choice and just play Hearthstone instead.

I've been in that state since I built my rig in November. Only instead of Hearthstone make it World of Warcraft

Forgot a step.

I have the same problem with my PS4 games.

I have so little free time as it is and I'm starting to work on my website and portfolio in what little down time I have here.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Is there a graph or chart somewhere that will help me see how I stack up against other graphics cards, processors,
etc ?

I don't want to buy a game and not be able to run it smoothly.

I love that site. Find your gpu on the right pane. It'll tell you how it compares.

This is exactly what I do.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I'm finally exploring the world of PC gaming.

Steam is totally overwhelming and I don't know what to buy.. lol.

I'm not even sure what my laptop can play. It's nothing special.

GTX 850, 8gb memory, i7 processor, etc..

Like papernut said, join the OS Steam Group and start adding friends from here. Someone is always online and I know we've all played together a few times (a recent Borderlands 2 co-op comes to mind).

Welcome to the fun!

Hey guys, if you purchase a game take it off your wishlist. Lol.

I was going to buy Chicken Dipper OS Rome 2 for him with extra funds since it was on his wish list and a good sale. Luckily when you purchase a gift it tells you if that person owns the game already. Lol.

This can happen because of varying editions of the game, but usually when you buy a game it's then in your library and no longer on your wishlist. Buying a deluxe, limited or some specific edition can make it look like someone doesn't own the base game. Just Steam being kinda sloppy in this regard, think they could handle or communicate this better somehow.

I have Rome 2 on my wish list??? LOL I think I got the first one back when it was a dollar, but never played it. The offer is MUCH appreciated though.

I thought Steam took things off your wishlist if you purchased it?

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Yeah no harm, no foul. Like I said steam tells you who has the game before you purchase it so it's not like I'm stuck with it. Lol

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Yea steam can be a bit funny. For instance I bought Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault. Well it comes with only two armies, the US and Oberkommando. I wanted to get the entire original COH2 which has the Soviets and Germans. Well when COH2 went on sale for 75% off it was the best opportunity, yet when I went to purchase it steam kept telling me I already owned the game. Anyone else would of assumed they already owned it but I went back to my purchase history just to double check, sure enough I only owned COH2 AA. I then went ahead and purchased COH2 and it gave me some message about additional copies of a game. Yet now when I play the game it shows I own all the armies and both the campaigns. So long story short, steam was wrong obviously and luckily me forcing the purchase was the right move.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Speaking of co-op, anyone still playing Dayz or got anything regular going on late nights thru the week with another game? Looking to pick something up next week.

I play DayZ, Insurgency, ARMA3, Rising Storm, and Company of Heroes 2 almost every day after work(One of those, not all every night lol). So pick your poison and give me a shout

I also host a TeamSpeak server if anyone is ever interested in getting on the mics. PM for password.

Side Note: Lord I wish everyone OS name was the same as their steam name because I honestly have no clue who is who except a couple.

Some make it easy lol
SkyBoxerOS = SkyBoxer
AuburnAlumni = AuburnAlumni

Some hard (yes I have to call out both of you)
Prophesy15 = 23
EtherealVortex = Cyros

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

RE differing Steam/OS names: I have that same problem. I'll get a friend request and spend five to ten minutes trying to figure out who the hell that person is.
