Nah, today is Humble IGN Prime Bundle day.
Okay, but will Itsuno create it or will they give it to NT again?
I'm still on AU, how fucked up am I?
I cant decide whether to buy The Witcher 3 Expansion Pass (already have the base) on GOG or The Witcher 3 GOTY on steam. They are the same price in my country because Steam has regional pricing.
I have already finished the base game but I read somewhere I can use the same save files for the Steam game. I guess it doesnt really matter unless I want the Steam trading cards.

I played more Blue Reflection today after having put it aside for DRV3 and Doki Doki Literature Club (which you should totally play if you haven't already) for the past while.
Why is this game soooooo good? Its so incredibly relaxing and mellow. Just walking around the school talking to people is fun because the classrooms and general school atmosphere are all really well put together to the point of being extremely immersive as a highschool environment. The little background chatter, the detail put into each of the classrooms (and character models), the fact that you can get on your phone and text message people...I love it.
And Hinako is adorable.

It makes me sad that this seems to be doing the poorest of the Gust games currently on PC. Its genuine GOTY material.
Yeah, but it's a manual process, which is why even worldwide unlocks at midnight anywhere are rare and rolling unlocks are more limited still to AAA games from select publishers with a multinational presence as somebody has to be around to flip switches. It's archaic.
Here's hoping Ubi's blatant and somewhat successful attempt to steal Steam pre-orders of South Park lights a fire under somebody's arse.

Humble hitting me with the Euro Truck Sim email. I see you. I also bought shit. Whatever. I'll take this free ETS1.
No one knows. This is an exciting time for all of us.

My first watch dogs online hacker is now defeated. That was a really good feeling. I'd been avoiding them for the most part, and truth be told, this one invaded me. There are so many online variations I'm not sure which is which when it pops up, so I let it be.
I have up on avoiding using guns after the motel invasion. Some situations are impossible without. What those media people and other pacifists did had to have been leg shots so you get the "incapacitated" enemy, but not technically a true kill.
My Aiden has become a vehicular manslaughter and explosives expert. It feels cartoony enough and whoopsy you triggered my trap, etc. Makes me feel better about him. I still stealth through the gang hide outs which feels good. Multiple cutscenes refer to you "killing everyone" so the game's narrative is clearly set.
This game is so self serious it's unbelievable. Funny that the dedsec motif was in the first game but not focused on and the second one turned it up to ten and made, what sounds like a better game.

What email? Are they sending free copies of Euro Truck Simulator? Also I have a question. A friend gifted me Amazing Spider-Man, but it's a RU key. The game activated fine, but what is the language? Is there italian here, or at least english?
This seems really usefull, has anyone tried it? Am I lttp?

You get a free copy of ETS if you buy something from the truck sim sale. I've been enjoying ETS2 a bunch, so I bought Going East for 2 bucks. https://www.humblebundle.com/store/promo/truck-simulator-sale/
Valve's historically been against the idea of allowing users to erase playtime, but it'd be a very simple way for users to eliminate noise from their pool of games the recommendation systems draw data from.
It'd probably be less convoluted if instead there was just a "don't factor this game into my recommendations" button.

It has cute girls just get it
And go play doki doki literature club, you're go na like the characters in it
I agree with this. You should play Doki Doki Literature Club zkylon, it's a cute wholesome slice of life visual novel, with lovely characters.
Shrinks it down to the same size as Guild Wars 1 (with all campaigns and expansion installed).

I kinda want playing Cosmic Star Heroine, but I'm already playing 5 games at the same time and would play even more when i'll back home and start new South Park. This year is packed with great games, I'm barely managing to play games from my backlog.
I posted about it yesterday with very little response. I thought it would be great utility for those have small SSD disk with many games installed. Maybe not..
I already almost halfed the size of my games and I have not run into troubles.
Try the game that you reduced the size most and see if you experience performance drop
So which should I use? XPRESS4K, 8K, 16K or LZX?
I'm becoming more interested in Steam Audio with each new beta update.
Steam Audio Beta 10 now supports Unreal Engine integration on Android.
I don't know if it's me or I see a hint hidden there. There's something that suggest a future Valve VR game with Unreal Engine to me. And I wouldn't be surprised to see a game with lootboxes or cosmetics support behind Android.

So apparently Sony Music announced they will be publishing some multiplatform games, including PC:
http://neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1449053
Huh. I didn't even know Sony Music did games too, that's kind of weird.

It warns against using LZX for files that are used regularly so any of the other three should be okay, with 16k being the most compressed.
Went with 8K for Cuphead, I feel like boss battles start faster after compression. Tried it with FF9 also, it feels faster except for a random encounter which took 19 seconds to load compared to 14 seconds before I compressed. But that may be because pre-compression it loaded the frogs and after compression it was an Ionite.
I'm just catching up on some non-PC gaming that's in my backlog....and woah, there's very little actual gameplay in MGS4. Just going through Act 5 now and I can't ever see myself wanting to touch this again, whereas I'd happily replay the others. And I know nano-machines was the key word in the story...but thus far I'm almost bored by it, which again compared to the other games (aside from the portable ones) is shocking for me.
Also, Jawmuncher's rendition of Dino Crisis in MS Paint has touched me deeply....I almost shed a solitary tear....

Played a bit of Warframe yesterday and its totally different from when it launched.
I played it for 2 hours when it launched with my best friend and at that time it was just random missions withou any story sewn together and quite linear. It felt more like a cover shooter at that time.
Now it feels quite different and its fun.
Though from what I heard the longer you play, the more grindey it will get.
I dont get why people even voted that as their GOTY. While the cutscenes and story was presented well, the actual gameplay was a step back from MGS2/3 as in open terrains. Besides Shadow Moses every act felt like linear levels (especially 3, worst act ever).

I feel that even the story isn't that great (granted I've not finished it yet). With distance from it's release and reception I can't believe how lauded it was. At least Act 3 tried something different... my biggest gripe is how boring all the boss battles are, which is incredible for an MGS game.I'm just glad I'm almost done.

That Elex review where reviewer complains about problems with finding Trainers to learn abilities is something else, it actually almost sold me on game
Yeah, that's definitely not something that would bother me. That's a totally fine way to handle character progression. Also doesn't seem like they completely got the system.

I recall that back when Rock Band and Dance Central were still popular, GameTrailers had to open their reviews of those games with a disclaimer about both their site and Harmonix being owned by Viacom. I would imagine that Gamespot would do the same.

The "Psychological Horror" tag for Doki Doki seems to be working.

So Guild of Dungeoneering is really good. Tizoc gave me a copy over the weekend and I put 13 hours into it and finished it. It is frustrating at first but once you get the strategy down it is quite rewarding. I will probably pick up the DLC when they are on sale. I highly recommend it.
