Devastation is 50% off on Steam right now.

Feel free to gift me Dark Souls III Mr. Moneybags. But seriously I can't believe how high the system requirements are for DSIII it doesn't look like a massive visual upgrade. Guess I'll retire my 670 when the new series comes out.

i'm assuming it's poorly optimised console port, but i've never played any of them.

"Poorly optimised" is one way to put it. Giant Bomb had the PC version crash the PC on every PC they tried it on when they walked up to the first Bonfire (save point). They reported it to the devs but they didn't fix it for launch and there is now a very long thread on the Steam forums about it.

Shame since DSII had a great PC version (other than the 60fps durability bug that took ages to fix)

nice haha
I bought Devastation. Game starts windowed, no option for 1440p, graphics options are presets only, no mouse in the main menu, good job.

I get the feeling XCOM 2 is never going to be fixed. It's still has as many annoying delays in loading and between moves as it did day one. Zip mode doesn't help, it just speeds up the animation.

Intel 6600k, Nvidia 970, Samsung 950 Pro, 16gb DDR4, Windows 10 Pro. Unless there is an odd comparability with one of my parts hardware is not the issue.
