Final Fantasy XV will see the release of a Windows Edition on March 6th, 2018. Square-Enix has made a benchmark tool available so that you may get an idea of how FFXV will run on your system once released.  Final Fantasy XV - Windows Edition
The benchmark tool limits one to preset resolutions:
If you run a resolution outside of this, you will need to create a custom shortcut to utilize that resolution. A quick google search will explain how this is done. Now that we have cleared that up; on to the results! Hardware

 Old School LAN Party  Virtual LAN with Discord LAN parties were once the excitement of PC gamers everywhere. The ability to frag your friends in games like Quake, with zero lag, and smack talk afterwards, was the pinnacle of competitive gaming. It was all in good jest of course, not like today's online gaming wasteland full of truly tormented individuals who believe it is their one purpose in life to make others miserable. But I digress.... Over time as broadband became readily available and affordable, LAN parties seemed to quietly fade into the distance. The rise of consoles compounded this as entire generations grew up not experiencing the intangible awesomeness that is a LAN party. We held on to this tradition for many decades, but I fear even TeamTidal cannot continue to keep LAN parties alive as witnessed by the last failed event. So what's a gamer to do? I will not go quietly into that dark night, while "LANny" dies a quiet death......forgotten by those who once held him dear. Nay, I say! Enter Discord, and the virtual LAN Party. Discord is a gamer's voice/chat program, similar to Twitch. However, Discord allows video chat with up to 10 people! The only downside I've discovered thus far is that video chat must occur over group DM; it is not integrated with the "server" functionality. Below I've outlined how this entire process works. Virtual LAN Party with Discord
 Discord - Mobile video chat I've always wanted to try my hand at video animation, but never took the time to learn. A quick google search for "animate my logo" returned a few sites, but only renderforest.com was simple, quick, and free. I highly recommend it! The free version leaves a water mark, but pricing is reasonable for exportable and high quality versions.  ACHTUNG! If you're reading this article, most likely you're a fan of Company of Heroes 2 and are looking for strategies to use with the Oberkommando West (henceforth referred to as OKW). Today's guide will cover the fallschirmjäger squad's usefulness in a Luftwaffe OKW army. We will cover scenarios, pros and cons, and maximum usage of the unit itself. More after the break.
By request, I have decided to upload an LP series of Dark Souls 2 using available mods leading up to the release of the DX11 version. I, Travis (LQD_Consecrated), will be joined by friends Allan and Jair as they attempt to play Dark Souls for their first time. I will NOT be playing in this serious....so anticipate multiple fails and tons of rage....
You can follow progress of the series below 
As some people may know, I'm a huuuuuge fan of the Wolfenstein series. Especially RTCW. This was the 2nd PC fps game I ever played (after Rogue Spear) and it has a special place in my heart as a fun, but stupid, shooter that still hangs on to its roots. Developed by a sister studio of id software, Gray Matter Interactive (well, the SP anyway), RTCW is a fast paced shooter developed using a modified id tech 3. It's a great game if you like fast paced, exploration based shooters, though the story was initially criticized coming off of Valve's Half Life.
But that's a discussion for another time, today I'd like to show you some quick tips to get RTCW working in HD on your PC. Let's begin...  TeamLQD is now active on Google+!
What does that mean for you? Now you have two great places to follow TeamLQD for the latest news, articles, etc. Swing by and give us a follow! Dark Souls 2 is a game that deserves to be modded- after all, I've covered modding the game before. However, getting it all to work together without any guides can be difficult. I've sat down and worked on the mods and have come out victorious, with a (imo) simple way to get all 3 mods to work together. You can watch the video above on our channel for a simple walk through on how to get all 3 working.
It's finally out- the first DLC pack for Dark Souls 2, Crown of the Sunken King, is now available for Xbox 360, PS3, and most importantly Steam. I've put together a quick video that I think captures the feeling of the DLC pretty well. If you're still on the fence, I'll have a review out soon to express my opinions on the expansion. Until then, enjoy :)
 So, some of us here at TeamLQD have caught the Dark Souls bug, and if you've ever looked at my first big piece I wrote on the souls series, then you'll know I'm a huge fan. But, the newest entry in the game is not without its flaws, particularly the graphics department. Today we'll take a look at my mods of choice and how to get them running and looking good.
 Happy New Year! It's been almost 2 months since my last blog but I'm ready to get back to gaming! Today's topic: Dungeon Keeper Gold from GOG.com On Valentine's Day, EA paired up with GOG to release Dungeon Keeper for the 14th and 15th. Well, a whole new generation now has a chance to experience it, and since I couldn't find any other articles with a full break down, I'll make my own! So let's dig in....
Quake- if there was ever a "mascot" for pc gaming, it's Quake. Around since the dawn of 3d graphics, Quake revolutionized 3d virtual space with fast paced action and fully realized worlds. Many would go on to imitate it's appeal, but none would ever match it. So with the Steam holiday sale going on, what better time to buy it? The whole series is 50% off meaning for a couple bucks you can pick them up and get plenty of game time out of them! But hold on there pal, these games are precious relics that need some, adjusting, to our modern operating systems and PCs. Well, thankfully multiple modders and communities have lasted through the decades to make our lives easier. Let's dig in and look at each title individually to understand how to get them working properly.
  In CS:GO's current build, the Terrorist exclusing SG 553 is a sexy gun with the ability to punish unsuspecting players for rushing into open areas. Armed with excellent accuracy, a 6x (figuratively I suppose) scope, and 100% armor penatration, this beast makes CT's cower in fear- well, I like to think it does anyways. So, with an excellent option like the AK-47 for the Ts, arguably the best assault rifle in every rendition of CS, how does the SG 553 hold up in play? Well, thankfully, I've spent several hours experimenting in both Deathmatch and Defuse gameplay....and the results can be found on our YouTube channel!

 Every now and then you get an urge to play a game from the past; whether you missed it during the initial launch or you want to go back to relive fond memories. However, nothing is more frustrating than a classic game NOT working when you launch it! One of those titles happens to be Manhunt, the 2003 Stalker/Thriller from Rockstar for the PC. Even the Steam page says you should not buy if you run Windows Vista or 7. However, eventually someone would figure out how to get this game to work- and thanks to RockStarWatch.net you can get a patcher here. It works beautifully and will get you past the first encounter crash that always stops gamers dead in their tracks! Happy Hunting everyone.
Posted by: Consecrated  Every now and then a game comes out that shamelessly rips off another game. They steal all the fun parts and make them shitty, they come out with some cutesy artwork to sell to children, they advertise the crap out of it, and they make tons of big promises that they can't possibly meet. Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed is not one of those games. Here's my first review of a PC game- you can find the video here: Posted by: Consecrated
 Smite is a multiplayer online battle arena game (MOBA) that is being developed by Hi-Rez studios; the makers of Tribes Ascend and Global Agenda. What differentiates Smite from other MOBA's such as League of Legends or Heroes of Newerth is the perspective. Smite takes place at ground level through a 3rd person view. Smite utilizes the Unreal Engine which provides amazing visuals and offers fast paced skill based combat. Combat in SMITE is action/skill based meaning that each attack must be aimed, movement is controlled similar to that of a first person shooter game.  The best part about SMITE is that it's absolutely FREE! SMITE is free to play, not pay to win. While you can spend real money in game it doesn't afford you any advantages over a non paying player. Head on over to the account sign up page to create your free account.

 Finally. FINALLY! The ARPG, Grim Dawn, from Crate Entertainment is finally out.....in the form of an early access alpha available on Steam. There's not a lot of gameplay or footage up yet, but you can watch me fail and miserably stumble through the game on our youtube channel here: Posted by: Consecrated
 Today the new Nvidia R331 drivers released which allows all 600 and 700 series Nvidia card's to use 2 exciting new features: Shadowplay and Game Streaming. Shadowplay is a new feature being tested by Nvidia which will allow screen capture directly from the GPU, bypassing CPU processing and allowing for exact capture. What this means for us is better capture, better audio/video, and overall better performance. Having an alternative is a godsend for FRAPS users trying to capture the latest games at max settings.

Posted by: Consecrated  As the Battlefield 4 Open Beta comes to a close, I feel it's about to time to start sharing my thoughts on the latest entry in the franchise and what I think lies in its future. There is no doubt in my mind that Battlefield 4 will pan out much better than 3 did, and I'm excited for the full release. But, that's another post for another time. Today, I'm going to go over some basic tips to help tide the battle in your favor no batter how bad the situation (or your teammates) are.
Editor's note: AA in this article stands for Anti-Armor not Anti-Air Posted by: Consecrated  I'd like to take a minute today to discuss what I consider the greatest ARPG series to come out during the last generation. Games come and go, as our steam libraries can surely attest to, or they release annual full price expansions like Call of Duty. But, we all have those games that never get uninstalled, or we keep it on our PC shelf because you never know when the urge to play through it just one more damn time will arise. While for the most part my ADD leaves my games feeling like $10 whores from China Town, there're a select few games that always have me crawling back for more. Let me introduce you to the Souls series.
Posted by: Consecrated  Today both Crysis 3 and its first DLC map pack, The Lost Island, are on sale for 1/2 off through the Origin store today. You'll need to have an Origin account, which can be created here. Crysis 3 is a futuristic first person shooter set in the ruined remains of New York after an evil government agency, C.E.L.L., issues a total lock-down of the city after pushing back the invasion of a mysterious alien force. You play as Prophet, a super soldier in high tech armor who's here to stop both the alien Ceph and the C.E.L.L. operatives for good.
The sale is part of E.A.'s "Action Sale", in which multiple titles on Origin are up to 50% off including their entire Battlefield franchise. You can find more information on the E.A. webpage. Teamlqd avidly plays both Battlefield 3 and Crysis 3! It's definitely worth checking out if you're a FPS fan who enjoys a mix of scifi action with Call of Duty style gameplay.
