Why don't I own this game yet?

I think Microsoft's conference was the "best" overall as it was just game after game, whereas Sony waffled on a bit about experiences and visions. What Nintendo showed didn't really pique my interest at all (so much for that Metroid pin being a hint), but I did like the interstitial interviews with developers. From what was shown, I'm looking forward to more details on:

- Cuphead
- Inside
- Ori and the Blind Forest
- ABZU
- Uncharted 4

Edit: Oh, and Grim Fandango HD, duh. I knew I was forgetting something.

Surely you liked this though from Nintendo

Eh, the MS conf was somewhat boring to me. It was neat having game after game considering previous years, but no megatons or anything was meh. Nintendo had the same issue, I liked what I saw and Splatoon looked fun, but nothing truly mindblowing (even if the Robot Chicken skits were fun). Sony "won" because of Grim Fandango, it somewhat took too long and had some filler here and there (talking about Powers when the only thing they had was that mockup drawing, the R&C movie trailer) to make it great overall.

Grim Fandango's one of my favourite games ever but I'm more interested in seeing what happens with Phantom Dust, Crackdown, and Scalebound than I am in a HD remake. I think they're much more legitimate "megatons", especially the Platinum game.

I just purchased Far Cry 3 through GMG given it was cheap and I had the credit and I've now discovered how terrible Uplay is. Trying to download the game pretty much killed me internet, I couldn't even browse the web despite the fact the speed was exactly what I get on Steam. So it looks like I may have just wasted that precious £5 of Playfire rewards.

Not defending uPlay, but it's not like that will be a problem when you actually play the game. The downloader for WoW will do the same thing, for example. Heck, Steam used to do it to me quite a bit.

With the Blizzard downloader it was down to it using a peer to peer system which can be turned off, I've never had this kind of issue with steam. I know it won't affect gameplay but I don't like the idea of something using something that's taking up way more bandwidth than it should.
 
I was looking through GMG deals and found this gem, not on Steam though.


True, but W3 did set a new precedent on preorder time with that insane 9 months.


The phrase that followed removed all hope though.


You are being quite generous, most didn't even last 2.


Because then we can get such funny quips as "I confirmed the vehicles are empty and remote controlled, you can fire now".


It's going to be called "Plead the Fifth" or something like that.


With your new avatar, it was quite funny seeing Sasha Romulan




Nintendo hasn't been "kids only" since the SNES days, when there weren't any age ratings to "protect" them from enraged parents. For example, seems like people forget that BMX XXX was uncensored on the GameCube, or that Conker's Bad Fur Day even existed.


And they do for Playfire rewards only.

I'm guessing you are having some grounding issue. Wasn't your electricity fucked or something?


Right in the middle of the WC, wtf gaben :/


Your hope is too late.


I loved that game back then, will buy again.


Mind that the Stan-tastic achievement takes quite a bit of time, and there are only 3 days left until the period is over.

What's WC?

And I never said that Nintendo was "kids only". Where I was going with this is that Nintendo hasn't catered to what "gamers" want and started going after the more casual market, which kind of fits their IPs and such rather well.

Maybe they're making expanded efforts to try to convince "gamers" that they're more than just casual with these moves to procure games such as Bayonetta 2 and Devil's Third... they're kind of betting that these games will convince those people who did not buy a Wii U for the new Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Spinoff #673, or whatever itereation of their established franchises will win over the people who primarily game on PC/Sony/MS platforms. Nintendo is again reaching for the demographic that they perceive to be their weakness and where they are "missing opportunities for sales".

What they don't realize, as far as I've seen anyway, is that it *should* take more than just an IP or two to get someone to want to invest in your platform and buy software for your system. Sure the "Nintendo Network" is free to use and I'm not super familiar with the changes made for Wii U at this point, but last I knew they were still using friend codes and missing things that the "core gamer" wanted years ago like achievements and a single account system. Just like the "core gamer" wanted HD and Online last gen and Sony stepped up and delivered on HD and struggled but managed to build a decent online competitor to Xbox, Nintendo had barely functional online, no achievement system for those who are interested, and eschewed HD saying that people didn't want or need it and they weren't going to assume the extra development costs to do it. When everyone started emulating Wii games on dolphin to get them in 1080p and Nintendo put out a new console, they finally came to realize they did need HD games. But they still have seemingly learned nothing from previous generations and are still stumbling through online features.

dark souls 2 dlc ep1 has very brightstone cove-like crystals

hmm

hope it doesn't make me too miserable

Where did you find/hear/see this?

For you.
I hope Black Flag goes on 75% off sale so I can grab a cheap Gold Edition from the brazilian store. And might as well pick up all the other games in the franchise.

I just want all the Assassin's Creed games to go on sale. And individual titles like Rust, Banished, Anno 1404, Skyrim, Dishonored, South Park, Resident Evil 4, Fallout: New Vegas etc. I mean, I got 246 games on my wishlist.
 
you can see them in this video: http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/xsk47e/dark-souls-ii--the-lost-crowns-e3-2014--hands-on

you can sort of see the white crystals in this pic but the video is better

there's also tons of spiderwebs in many pictures and spider-like enemies so it wouldn't surprise me if it's related somehow.

What SL character will you use to go through it?
You can always summon Frost to your service, if needed. ;)

Injustice players who use a fight stick... how do you arrange your buttons? (This is part of the reason I don't think the game ever clicked with me.)

So I tried asking The Forest dev when we might see the peaceful mode.

@Good_Old_Voli We’re hoping to get to work on new game modes soon. :)

I know they're a small team, but I wish they'd have had that ready for launch.

i dunno, i'll probably just use my ng++ character since respeccing means i don't really need to start the game from scratch to try new stuff. since this week is free twinkling titanite on the magic chest i've been thinking about starting a new character but i dunno, i'm a bit burned out

also bugs in the video didn't seem too bad, i'll prolly be ok. i'm just more interested about lore than anything what with the duke and seath and all. maybe we'll see where that big ass dragon came from

Good luck zkylon, good luck.
i'm pretty solid at going thru spidercove by now

it's kind of therapeutic and it's been my experience with dealing with this shit for years.

you just expose to it a tiny bit at a time until your mind stops caring so much

that and talking about my parents divorce with my therapist
 
Guess people needed to see my Street Racing Syndicate Screenshots, which are I assume pasted to its hub a thousands of times already.

Thanks once again for this great game JaseC.

Capcom stream said Dead Rising 3 PC is "optimized for 30fps".....
http://www.twitch.tv/capcomunity live now
That doesn't work on us, Capcom.

Talking about animations now and that they're made for 30fps. Oh but you can uncap the framerate! Could lead to weird stuff happening. Very cool imo. Not the weird stuff but that they give the choice.
So uncapping is officially allowed but not officially supported. I get not wanting to reanimate everything since they made the game for 30 on consoles, but not even making sure it doesn't bug out? Fuck off with that noise. This is motherfucking PC you are talking about and these kinds of attitudes are just insulting. I know people think all PC gamers are stingy, but I've seen plenty of people buy well polished games at full price. It's because of insulting shit like this that they don't want to reward your lazy asses and encourage devs to continue giving us shitty ports.

So how do you earn a mysterious card? Is it from buying something or maybe just playing? I haven't gotten one yet.

I got one by crafting a badge. Got it instead of a crappy coupon. We'll probably use them to craft summer badges to get special crappy coupons.
