What's the best method for recording gameplay on PC?

Was thinking of using Geforce Experience. That a good one?

It does the job in a basic way and has enough customisation to be great, but if you use things that don't call the GPU in Direct 3D, it won't work. Like not sure about Fire Pro, but I can't record Wrestling Revolution.

OBS and XSplit are great, just personal preference on either of those. They're designed to stream, but you can just point it to a window to record and do all the streaming overlays and shit if you want, then point it to do a local record to file instead of streaming to Twitch etc.

Ooh, Bethesda getting in on the GoT action.

Got the Telltale game but haven't gotten around to it yet. I wonder how this would play out.

I've already got some wild ideas in my head.

Sepholio 08-28-2017 09:00 PM

Take that Bethesda GOT news with a grain of salt. I've seen reports that say it isn't legit. I'll keep my hopes up though.

Fignuts 08-29-2017 05:07 AM

The Bethesda GOT news was reported back before E3, along with the sci-fi game, and Elder Scrolls 6 & 7. All of which turned out to be bullshit.

Thanks for correcting Fignuts on the pronouns. It's cool if people slip up now and then, so long as it's not forever or intentional.

Also, friendly heads up. Never refer to a trans person as "it". It's considered pretty offensive to call anyone "it", trans or otherwise. Especially bad for trans people as it's used in a discriminatory way.
If you're ever unsure, just say "they" as it's neutral.

Btw I think you'll find being Scottish is always relevant.

No, that's not me, I just have the one GT. My old one was DrakulBites. I think the other Drakul is some Brazilian guy.

Oh my fucking god. In South Park the Fractured But Whole, when creating your character, the difficulty slider and skin colour selection are the same thing. The darker, the more difficult. Cartman actually explains "This doesn't actually affect combat difficulty, just every other aspect of your whole life"

Yeah, it seems pretty cool a game.

Super heroes are much more appealing than LotR type stuff. To me, anyway. A big reason I never picked up TSoT despite it looking pretty good.
I've got my eye on this.
