Are there any games that take advantage of having two or more monitors?
What I mean is, one screen has the main gameplay going on and the other has like item management, chat, mission accepting, some sort of interface use, etc.
If these exist, I'd love to know.

I was honestly so excited to see the (1) on my watch list user.

Bridge Commander Sims? That's all I can think of that's a PC game.
Nothing like Shadowrun? Even a Diablo-esk or Mechwarrior game?
Not that I know of. I sometimes play local Coop games with a friend and it would be amazing if some games could utilize both screens instead of splitting one monitor in the middle, but so far I haven't found a game with that functionality.
Nope. It's stupid to design a game around something most people don't have. It takes 1-10 seconds to switch/read a inventory screen.
Local Co-op is dead. Lazy devs and no one uses it outside of a minority so...
The Div:OS games might be able to do this. Have to test. it.
For aurora, the more monitors you have the better.
I thought the first Supreme Commander let you do it
Driving sims you retards
The Battlefield games on PC if you count Battlelog. If you have a web browser running, you can look at your stats.
World in Conflict
you can also bring up a live map in browser and have that on your second monitor
googled the names and only found weird shit, can you both link me please? :)
That's an RTS right?
Supreme commander was the only one I can recall when I briefly had 2 monitors. I'd just keep one monitor on my base at all times while the other was on my attacking force.
What would a driving sim have for the other screen?
Does this include older games? I only have BF: Vietnam

>What would a driving sim have for the other screen?
have you ever been in a car you underaged b&?
Only the newer ones that support Battlelog, which I think are BF3 and forward.
I always wanted to do this with WoW, but it ended up being a huge hassle. Basically you used an add-on to change the viewport to half of your full multi monitor resolution which left you with a blank black screen. You could then position chat, maps, quest trackers, damage meters, inventory, etc. in this space. I ended up giving up on it thought because of I recall tooltips got all fucked up.
There's software that lets you take part of your screen and replicate it on a 2nd monitor. Pic related.
That's pretty useful. Thanks user.
It's almost essential for Dariusburst
>the other has like item management, chat, mission accepting, some sort of interface use, etc.
>have you ever been in a car
I'm not going to check my phone in a driving sim am I? I can't think of doing anything other than looking around which I clearly said in OP that I wanted it to have a separate function
Eve Online
does it? I haven't played in ages. I could see it being super useful in EVE.
bro suggested i get into it yesterday. I just don't want to play a game that I end up spending heaps on or get to a point where I count up all the money I just lost by being bad at games

Yeah idk why I said that becaue I even googled it. I was just trying to express that I didnt know what it was
It's not that expensive to play at all, It just sucks up ALL your time and becomes a job if you want to get into it.
Game on main, shitposting on Sup Forums on other monitor.
Best actual use of secondary display for me was Xenoblade Chronicles X on Wii U.
Various terrain maps with info overlays, detailed HQ map, management of resource mining probes (that shit worked even if you did something that triggered a long loading), 'multiplayer' info / rewards indicators.
I'm a NEET in denial, I'm thinking of starting a YouTube channel just so I don't kill myself so time isn't really that much important to me, I just don't have an income atm
Love that game but I've got like 60 hours on it and I'm still at the start. Actually, is it available on a GOOD emulation with mouse input?
Past the first month I hear you can work and buy in-game time. I hear EVE vets say it's not hard. Me? Fuck that noise I'm not WORKING to have fun.
You can try playing with Eyefinity/Surround features. Me and my buddy played Rocket League on two monitors. Basically, you set vertical splitscreen and then use Eyefinity or, in that case, we set window resolution as (W1 + W2)xH. Much more fun than splitscreen on one monitor
>work and buy in-game time
What does that mean? I don't get it.
1 month Premium time is a item you can buy in-game, It's very expensive but doable if you work for it. I think it's called a PLEX.
Divinity Original Sin
eve-central.com
These are the stations that sell it, Also it's a way of making IRL money into EVE dosh.
The Division has dual monitor support, game on one and hud on the other and stuff like that.
>Ubisoft
Not even once.
Buy the 30 day premium using in-game money.
Obviously it's going to be grind to get that money but if you find a method that you enjoy and you're smart about it, it's possible to do it.
I would make just over half of that amount each month just from exploring low security and player owned space. I wasn't just doing the 'exploration' content, it was also just hobo-ing around in a dirt cheap ship, scavenging from battles and shit-talking in the local chat.
Mix that with playing the market and you could start to make enough after a month or two of playing.
yeah that's not for me
see
I think I'm going to look at space sims or something, games like Xenoblade Chronicle X, Mechwarrior, even Destiny could do could with this.
wish I thought of this before the steam sale ended
Wanting to play a game on two monitors is silliness anyway. Not sure why you give a damn.
I don't think desume supports that unfortunately
That's interesting. Now I wish I had picked it up on Steam.
