Turn-Based Strategy is outdated and archaic. Good that it's done away with by everybody nowadays that the technical limitations are overcome. Who just wants to stand around and see animations happening. instead of being immersive
Dang, still that many people playing at once? That's dope.

Looks like Warframe price mistake will be honored.
Welp, I guess I should download Warframe then.
The FFVII remake threads were a slaughterhouse for TB lovers
The craziest thing is that the game isn't even avilable for cheap anywhere

+ little surprise hidden deep in EULA
I'm not surprised Squeenix would put Denuvo in one of its games. I'm more surprised that they happen to put it on this extremely niche game that is overpriced. I mean, you're not gonna lose any first day sales on this game. I don't think anyone is going to clear their schedule so they can crack this on day one.

I haven't played Temple of Osiris, but isn't the near-universal consensus that Guardian of Light is significantly better?
Yeah, I don't entirely buy it. Seems like someone just selected wrong price while updating price for new currencies.

I wouldn't call Hellblade a horrorgame per se, but it definitely features a good bunch of horror moments

I paint horror very broadly, Hellblade isn't straight-up horror but has a lot of psychological-horror moments. Long Dark is a survival game, but one focused on atmosphere, low supplies, and harsh conditions after a natural disaster (IE, horror in a sort of similar way that the Disaster series is often considered horror).
Horror I view as the opposite side of comedy, it can be attached to any other genre. There are types of games that are typical horror or more what people think of with horror, but I include games with stronger elements to be under horror games even if they are also other things.

Same, I've backed it!
But it's been one of the worst managed crowdfunded campaigns since Shenmue 3

Great list! I downloaded a couple of the free ones and wishlisted some of those that aren't.

Thanks, I'll get it!
I feel sorry for whoever had to write this to justify a decision that is almost certainly coming from Japan.

Yeah, horror is a lot broader than people think. A game doesn't need to be a jumpscareathon to be horror.

Steam Guard is so annoying given it signs me out of the website multiple times a day even when I ask to be signed in, or anytime I buy something.
yep. all the goddamn time.

The worst, this morning I was on here complaining asking if it was just me and it took me an hour to put some cards on the marketplace.

Bought DOS2 today and played for an hour. No idea where I will pull hours to actually finish this though
Gotta get disciplined with how you play I guess. I have the same problem, but I will be settling on only trying to complete one game at a time and not leaving them for so long that I have to feel obliged to start over as I tend to do with these kind of games. PoE is my first target, then DoS, then likely to PoE2 and then DoS2, then Planescape Torment and Tides of Numenera

Im telling yall just dont watch TV. Extra time for games easy.
Finished Original Sin 2. Overall I think it's one of the best games I've ever played, and almost the best RPG. It takes everything OS1 did, and does it even better. I'm sure you've all read what's good about the game so I'll list the stuff I didn't like:
-Bugs: I think one in every 7 or 8 quests is bugged, as in you do the stuff and the game does not acknowledges it, or for some reason the quest doesn't end and it stays open in your journal. Minor spoilers
you find some guys turned into animals and receive a quest to cure them. After you do it the quest is still open. Even if you find the person responsible and kill it, nothing happens.
Some prisoners have been missing, you find them but for some reason you can't tell the NPC that's looking for them.
Also for the ending mild spoilers I guess
you make a choice that decides who do you fight, one of the options is bugged and nothing happens, you have to attack manually to enter combat and in my case it resulted in the same battle as the other choice.
-Consequences: it feels like your actions are not that important. In the first part of the game light spoilers
you are imprisoned, you can escape and kill all the guards but not one NPC reacts to this, you get the same responses as before.
you find a dog that tells you that's sad because someone threw his playing ball away, you can find it nearby but the dog doesn't react at all.
-Combat balance: some builds are ridiculously OP (ranger, summoning, shield tank) and sort of makes it so that other builds are not that attractive. Of course you can use almost everything so it's nitpicking, but a little more balance would've been nice.
I think the bug and the balance can (and will) be addressed in the future so I'm not too worried about it. I want to do another playthrough with the companions I didn't choose, but I'll wait until this is fixed.
To summarize, if you like RPGs you have to play this game, it's simply one of the best of all time. Larian has made an amazing job and I hope they continue making successful games.

So enhanced edition did add waypoints to the original sin 1? Might have to give it another chance then.

Oh wow I had no idea this was coming to PC. I love the PS3 one.

Not sure when it happened but there are waypoints in DOS:EE.

lol it costs R$ 95,99 in Brazil.
I can't stop playing Divinity: Original SIn 2. And when I'm not playing, I'm thinking about it.
This game gives real meaning to freedom for the player. Freedom isn't just being able to wander around a world map. It isn't being restricted to linear quest design via quest markers, following an overly-balanced character progression path, or designing out any possible source of frustration because the developers don't trust the player to find their own way through it. This game allows you to do almost anything you want within the basic mechanical rules. If you want to bring barrels with you and create a wall to take cover from a ranger, why not? Exploration, character progression, and quest design all follow this rule. The game respects your ability to make your own (fun) choices.

so like, finishing Metroid Samus returns made me wanna replay Ori, which I never finished
I feel like I complained about this before but what am I supposed to do with this definitive edition shit
I own the original game. I have no discount for the definitive Ed. (I think I did with a voucher but it was timed? lol)
I'm not gonna pay $20 again, so this weird ass decision is straight up preventing me from playing a game I own
is this just hella dumb or am I

That's what I do, I use my TV as a PC monitor. True story.
lmao at chilean price
Damn, and they are going to implement Argentine peso and surely it will suck.
Not that I wanted purchasing power in Steam anyway...
pretty done
Member
Call me cheap but I'm just waiting till they make it free for Ori owners. Not paying even $5 for the same game.
I mean that's what im saying basically. I'd be fine with $5 but the fact that I have to rebuy the thing is just.. baffling?
and like I said, if they want people to play their game they're promoting the opposite. I have a version of it that I paid full price for and now I just don't want to play it cause there's a "better" version out there which I have to wholly repurchase
what the hell is this

I think I found out that people who say that aren't actually RPG fans. If you take a look at the various GAF essential RPG threads, there are barely any action RPGs on the top 50. The only highlights on action RPGs are Souls, Mass Effect, and Dragon's Dogma.

Square pls
At least the Brazilian price is ok mostly of the time though some publishers always end messing the price. Bethesda is one of them but they lower the prices after some time.
