Does The Witness have a preload up? I'm trying to avoid as much as possible about the game so I don't want to even enter the OT.

Not yet. I think someone posted earlier that they were considering it and would update later on twitter if anything changed.

I'm pretty sure Street Fighter V, the franchise known for as fighting and not something for an expansive story mode that no one should have expected just because Netherealm made some hokey B movie plot that will be rebooted again 5 years, comes out on the 19th of February.

I'll quit being harsh, I just find it silly people expected so much outof SF plot when Capcom clearly doesn't care about as other fighting games have had good to great plots for years, like from Arcsys.

I wish they did and I hope it's good V though.

I don't blame anyone for expecting more out of Capcom. When you're the second biggest fighter sales wise and the biggest FGC wise, people will expect more than the bare minimum from you. Though I will say after all we got was the Art Stills, no expectations for a story mode should have even been there. I legit thought that was all we would get. So having a actual cinematic story mode even later on is great. As was said if you want the story mode wait for it to come out. You'll get it and probably at a cheaper price too.

it's basically just a new chapter of xcom enemy unknown. so yes, it should scratch your itch until you get xcom 2 later on. (assuming you enjoyed xcom eu)

No preload for The Witness or a key from GMG/SE for ROTR pretty much cement them as backlog for me, too busy this week to load 50+GB of stuff tomorrow afternoon. Talos Principle it will be.

The Witness says it needs 4GB of space on the store page and the download for RotTR is around 18GB...so not really 50+GB of stuff

Melee in RE6 becomes unnecessary in the campaign due to ammo leniency. The risk/reward just isn't there on Veteran (this may not be true on Pro/No Hope). There don't seem to be i-frames (or as many) during things like stomps or the fancier maneuvers, leaving you open to a bum rush. I kinda get why that is, as if this weren't the case, you'd be effectively immortal by just spamming R2 over and over. And with enough skill this probably is a minor issue, but still it asks why use melee/QTE's at all when just unloading bullets from a distance is satisfactory in most situations. (I utilize it because it would be too boring otherwise)

Although when your partner is "reviving" you, you do appear to be immune to damage during the animation. Had dynamite go off and it didn't hurt.

Mod turns Jedi Academy into a fighting game

When LucasArts was devoured by the House of Mouse, Jedi Academy developer Raven released the game's source code as a memorial of sorts. The result of their gift is mods of unusual ambition. Sure, you can add Thomas the Tank Engine to Fallout, but can you make Thomas a character in a 2D fighting game variant of Fallout? Skew's Jedi Fighter for Jedi Academy does the Star Wars equivalent.

Jedi Fighter turns five key locations from Jedi Academy sideways, from the aftermath of the battle of Hoth to turbolifts in the Death Star, and tweaks them to serve as ideal arenas for 10 expanded universe characters to duke it out it, each with their own moveset.

To play, you'll need to install Jedi Academy, the OpenJK engine and the Jedi Fighter beta 2 mod. It's a work in progress, scheduled for completion in June, with new characters including the cast of The Force Awakens to come before it's done.

I mean not including Steam/PC on initial marketing materials. Could swear that happened with Korra and Transformers.
Click to expand...

Don't think they've ever had a Steam logo (hence a few speculating about retail copies of Transformers Devastation on PC being Steamworks or not) but they have usually contained the generic North America PC logo. You can see it on Devestations website

http://www.transformersgame.com/

and at the end of the Korra trailer

Guess wait until the 'proper' reveal but as said there's something possibly like it in the DB anyways.
