PC Gaming Era | December 2018 - We got 99 problems, but 76 ain't one

Well, PubG and Ubisoft as well plus bunch of others. Tencent is ginormous.
Edit: Waifu conversations don't belong in our "epic" PC Wars threads. Get it, "epic"... I'll show myself out, try the Veal.
yup
also all companies suck, tencent deserves special attention because of its size but it's not like idk fucking activision isn't the worst either
I don't have anything against waifu's but we probably shouldn't be posting pictures with visible "cameltoe" eh?
Well, Tencent is involved in some pretty bad shit for CCP in China. Unless Ubisoft is actively helping oppress Fench society and monitor/police all their online (and offline with Citizen Score) activities, not quite the same.
Eternal does pretty good on this front too I've been told.
Genuinely do enjoy Shadowverse though. It was my main digital card game before Artifact showed up.
lol didn't notice
you people
yeah but people aren't actually meaningfully discussing that stuff, they're just latching into the china crap to be angry at rito or epic or whatever
also like ubisoft publishes tom fucking clancy games so i reckon they're not the best people either hehe
I miss Marvel Heroes though it was heavily mismanaged the last year or so.
Yeah they fucking ruined it, but what a game man.
Made me love Mondays.
I stopped playing it a while back. I just play draft in Artifact now.
I was moreso thinking about how RIOT tried to bring exclusivty contracts into esports, among other things.
I'd like to read about how horrible a game is now please or how awesome
The Missing is a masterpiece, great characters, great story, buy it
Seems like i have missed someone posting Mass Effect 3 screenshots again
So as I continue to setup a massive local library and check out games that would not run well on my older laptop, few questions:
1. How many games do you all keep downloaded locally at once?
2. Going try Assasin Creed Rogue, never hear anyone talk about it. Any thoughts on it? Anything to know about the PC port in particular? Paging JaseC
Thanks !

I once had about 40-50 games downloaded locally at once when I was testing Steam play compatibility, but usually just keep ~10.
Going to join the parade of lurkers in saying thanks to the regular posters and specially users like JaseC , Durante and so on that are always extremely helpful and informative.
As for everyone doing the great service of fighting in all these threads... I don't know what to say... so many times I almost posted responses but decided not to because it would be hard to keep it civil after seeing the same arguments every single time: "Steam didn't have that 15 years ago", "how are you going to compete without money-hatting?", "you don't need new hardware", "monopoly! monopoly!!!!" and so on.
And that is my personal frustration with the moderation right now. I can't even imagine how hard it is to keep a place like here civil while trying not to repeat past mistakes, but at this point the pattern has become clear in all those threads where these "arguments" that have been completely debunked always come back again and again, several times from the same users and sometimes with the traditional "I'm just asking".
Well... I'm not going to repeat everything everyone else wrote... just wanted to express a "lurker appreciation" to all of those banging their heads against all these walls.

I've had friends try and ask me to get into Siege but at the time I was going "Ehhh" but with all of Ubisofts updates for stuff I'm sort of leaning towards looking into it to at least give it a try!
WiIIIISH LISTED
I dunno about everyone else but I have 257 games installed at the moment but I do the SSD / HD situation for games
Not if you wanted all the heroes you love. They were devious with their packs and sales, getting you to buy stuff.
What's that? Keep on HD until you want to play, then move to SSD?
Any downsides to this?
Fair point, I think I had everyone unlocked, bought a few but I did play a lot.
Also, you couldn't get the best character unless you paid, I believe.
That would be Kate Bishop, of course.
Since I switched to a 1TB SSD I keep a dumb amount of games installed (I also have two standard drives installed). If a game is going to have DLC released later I'll just leave it installed.
Yeah that's what i do, there's no downside at all (That I know of? It used to be a LOT harder but you can choose where to install stuff with most programs anymore so it's pretty simple)
Some games I don't bother changing around what's on what for the drive just because I'm lazy but I know the ones with insane load times love being on a SSD
my problem with games is similar to my problem with movies, i have a ton i want to watch but that are usually depressing/hard tow atch so i keep putting them off and they keep piling up to the point where all my options are like that and i don-t watch anything
games are pretty similar, i really want to give this war of mine or that dragon cancer a chance but i think i-ll end up playing the little witch academia game instead cos that-s much easier to digest and i think i-m at a point in my life where i need games to make me happy

Scarlet Witch was my main, next to Dr. Doom.
Rocket was my first
Might start doing this too
I have about ~100 games installed. ... but I'm fortunate enough to have three SSD's and a mechanical drive for games where load time is inconsequential.
My thing is I'm heavily into modding, so I like to have the game files locally to modify at whim. And also when something get's patched I'll know and can check to see if things got broke.

I have no real pattern. But I only keep about 3 or 4. Sometimes it grows.
My internet is fast enough that even the biggest games take only a few minutes to download. I'm actually more limited by my SSD than anything else.
4 or 5 at most, stuff I play every day like CSGO or Dota, and then a couple of single player games I'm currently playing
I have like eight games installed currently, but apparently all I really need anymore is Stellaris. The new update is rough around many edges but it's gaming crack like I haven't experienced in quite some time.
Just to make a useful post and add a datapoint:
I have about 22 games o Steam plus I think 3 on others services, but move what I'm actually playing to one the two my fairly small SSDs, unless it's a really small game. The HDD is more a "this game is on my list and I will probably play it soon".
Generally works well, with the occasional hiccups, like reinstalling Shadow of War to play the last DLC that I forgot about, and seeing it was 150 GB now... need to find a good and cheap 1TB SSD over here.

Artifact
Shadowverse
Rocket League
Into The Breach
I have less installed than I usually do as this is mostly a work laptop and I did a new OS install fairly recently.

It says I have 457 games installed right now, a fifth of my library. Most being on my hdd and maybe 3 or 4 games on the ssd. I don't know why I have so many, I think about 10 are probably like VR entries or map tools or goofy other things that.
Before I had fibre/unlimited Internet I used to keep hundreds of games installed because Australian internet is shite and download takes forever. Now I didn't even think twice about redownloading FF XV if I need to /humblebrag :-P
The modded games stays in my SSDs, though. It's a pain to rearrange those Dragon's Dogma or XCOM/XCOM2 mods, for example.

Absolutely agree with all of the post, but the bolded... I don't even know if Amazon had a Wishlist in 2004. And, right now, Steam's Wishlist is actually more fully featured and flexible than Amazon's to a large degree. Amazon supports multiple Wishlists, but Steam's is easier to use in so many ways, with more sorting options, and an easier way of moving products up-and-down.
Hey man, Activision cares about PC now. So much so, they seemly pushed aside their excellent PC team for an external dev. I have a 1060 6gb and I get good frames, but the game doesn't feel as smooth as a COD should. I had to lower a bunch of settings, like, a ton of 'em, to get it feeling right.
I have two pc's. On the new one, I have about 120 games installed. That pc is connected to a tv and 95% of the games support a controller. My older pc is in the office, connected to a bunch of monitors. I usually just keep 10 or so games installed. Games like diablo 3, path of exile, cs go, and a few other ones.
