Great OP. I've been wanting a PC thread for a while. Recently I've been playing more and more PC since Starcraft 2 came out. As long as it doesn't get too [[[[[[H]]]]]]ard, we'll be fine.

Does anyone have experience hooking their PS3 controller to a Win7 machine play games on the PC? I traded in Batman a while ago, but with the Steam sale, I'd like to repurchase it. I can't imagine playing it on a keyboard. I googled ps3 controller on pc, but it gave me a bunch of random software. I'd hate to install shady software ti play it.

Mu Zeta posted:I bought Batman Arkham Asylum because of the Steam sale and I now know the pain of Games for Windows Live. Why is this thing even necessary? Why do I have to input a CD key when I've bought the game online from Steam? Why do I have to put it in twice, and also have to create a GFW account to play a single player game? I tried to play the game and it said if I don't create and account I won't be able to save my game? So I made a GFW account and it kept telling me I had to update GFW. It had to do this like 3 times and I had to restart the game after every patch. It took over 20 minutes after downloading the game to be able to actually start playing the game, and I don't even want to play this lovely thing anymore. gently caress you GFW. I did the same thing as you. I found that loading Batman, downloading the initial software, and getting out of the program as quickly as possible helped. Then, I could upgrade to the newer GFWL software out of the game. You might be able to just download the GFWL software first, then load Batman next. Either way, yeah, I had the same problems as you until I just exited out. Pain in the rear end.

I received my HD555 headphones yesterday and they fit and sound like a dream compared to my old $40 Altec Lansing headset. I know most people recommend a desktop mic, but does anyone have recommendations for a webcam? Is there a big quality difference between webcam mics and normal desktop mics?

Dr Snofeld posted:On the advice of the thread I've gone for the headphones and desktop mic combo as opposed to a headset. These Sennheisers are amazing, but now I'm wondering about the mic part. Does it matter at all what mic I get? I posted a similar question a few pages ago, but never got answered. I got the HD555s too, and was wondering if there was any quality difference between a webcam and one of those Logitech desktop mics for $20? I'd rather get a webcam, but if the voice quality is poo poo, I'll just get the $20 stand mic too.

Did anyone pickup L.A. Noire? Hopefully it is a decent port.

zachol posted:The XBox controller is too big and round for me. I have little girly hands, though. As far as the PS3 controller goes, you can get these bumpers that help support the R2 and L2 buttons. Something like [url=http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/accessories/ps3-real-triggers/90442]this[url]. It helps tremendously. It does suck to have to buy soemthing else to make it work properly, but if you like that controller more, its worth looking into for only $5.

People routinely recommend this logitech mic. They also recommended the HD555s a lot. I don't have experience with the mic, but the headphones are incredible. A much richer sound than cheap headphones and most speakers I've used.

Price on the HD555 skyrocketed. I bought them for about $100 earlier this year. Now Amazon has them for $170ish from vendors. Maybe the 598s replaced the 555s.

notZaar posted:Funny how this discussion came about from Dark Souls, because that game literally saves your provgress every 10 seconds. The only twist is that you cant reload at will. Yeah, it saves after you do anything. If you accidently hit the roll button and roll off a cliff, it saves and you cannot reload to a point before you rolled off.

Foiltha posted:Sooo, remember that petition to bring Dark Souls to PC? Great news! I bought it on PS3, but would certainly buy it for PC again when its on a Steam sale. I can't imagine playing it on anything except a PS3 controller, but I'm sure the XBox controller will suffice.

If you install GFWL before you install the game requiring it, the installation should be painless. I've never had a problem going that route. It sucks if you buy the Steam version it has GFWL and Steam DRM, but all that fades into the background if you're playing a solid game like Arkham Asylum/City or Dark Souls.

Not many people are rushing to upgrade to Windows 8, but have there been any tests with game performance?

I never knew Logitech had a mechanical keyboard before I noticed some sales recently for the G710+ with cherry browns. Does anyone have this keyboard and can compare it to other popular mech boards (Das, etc)?
