Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
My son thought it was stupid and thought I was stupid for liking it when I was his age. Oh well.
I'm actually looking forward to playing this - but I know it'll be cringe-worthy especially knowing they'll probably have a lot of in-game tutorials on how to do things.
Well, we live in an age where Dark Souls is considered a very difficult game.
I mean, Dark Souls is challenging if you don't know what a certain boss will do or what will happen in the next room, but it's actually quite easy compared to older games. Hell, Dark Souls in specific is very easy if you know what to do imho.
Why bash Skyrim? Best game this gen by far.
Yeah I hate when that happens. Usually the full patch notes of games in general are in the official forums though (not the Steam forum, but sometimes there as well).
Got it all nice and downloaded, will fire it up tomorrow
Here's one piece of advice: the shield is useless, even when maxed out. Focus your upgrades elsewhere. Assuming you're one for exploring, you'll be able to max out your health and salts while still having a few upgrades left over to add a few notches to your shield.
I mean
looks-wise, you either get this WayForward:
or this 2D-art-on-3D-backgrounds WayForward:
Ducktales got the latter. And it's sad.
Tinypic is banned here. But that's okay, you're a junior and you didn't know!
How do I get there from the Detailed view inside Steam?
Community Hub/Announcements?
It should be under News.
Yeah, that's mostly it. I'm sure there's a changelog somewhere. It should be more prominent on the game area of Steam. you know, maybe in the News section, that's always linking to useless Kotaku stories or whatever...

Rehost your images, dog.
Imgur extension for chrome is really handy!
What version of Shantae is that? The PC one that's never coming out?

It's on the store page. In order for them to get it on the news feed they'd have to send it into Valve. I do think it should get filtered there automatically, but eh.
You may be able to join the group to get the updates in your activity feed, but I haven't been able to get it to work with Skullgirls. http://steamcommunity.com/app/218820/announcements
Ducktales got the latter. And it's sad.
That's... kind of jarring. It's like someone just plopped a Colorforms cartoon cutout duck on top of an airbrushed background. At least they could've used a cel-shading filter on the 3D or something. :s

Shhhhhhhh.
And why is Tinypic banned by the way? Never really used them.
Also, are the Rise of the Triad servers down for everyone else? "Connection cannot be established"
Tinypic URLs don't have a particularly long life before they're recycled and there were a few cases where previously-innocent images became porn.

wayforward being so great at marketing its presence there
Maybe Valve will select it once Ducktales has been released.

Maybe they'll actually put some effort into the pc port/campaign after they release Ducktales.

Well, what were you expecting from a procedurally generated platformer? Admittedly, most people will just go to free play, turn the difficulty up to maximum and then laugh at the results.
Maybe Ubi will add Rayman Forever to the Rayman Legends Pre-purchase sub.

Man, I totally forgot about this being a thing for Steam.
Ah well, getting a 3DSXL soon so I'll get it anyway.
I already preordered REvelations and COD Gunslinger and still didn't touch any of them, why the hell do I keep buying things at launch?
Oh, yeah, I also bought Splinter Cell Blacklist.
SPLINTER CELL BLACKLIST.
Someone stop me.

And I didn't know it was a thing either! Voted.
Dammit, man. That interview led me to this one:

I'm going to have to nod in agreement as my laptop's display driver crashed, which completely breaks video playback. The title is familiar though, so I've seen it before.
It'll look kinda bad on the 3DS: IT's a DSi Game, so it's resolution is lower.
Good news is that a non-stretched DSi software on the 3DSXL is bigger than the regular DS or DSLite screen area.
I'm actually just thinking about buying the original GBC Shantae for my 3DS...
You need to be stopped.
I even try to talk to myself before buying, it goes like this:
"Do I need this game?"
No
"Am I gonna play it?"
No
"Do I even want this game at all?"
No
Bought.

So, did anyone else not get their pre-order pack for Rise of the Triad?
Edit: Found it, didn't realize it listed every game included as part of the same thing. Weird.

Sick Skyrim burn.
Ubi doesn't force Uplay upon its external development partners. Plus, it was in development under THQ for quite a while as a Steamworks game.
I have no more budget, stop doing this to me Jase
You can go without lunch for a couple of days.
I'm ok with Uplay actually, what kinda bothers me in Ubisoft games is their performance at launch, usually if you wait a few months and buy it on a sale it'll run a lot better, have more content for no additional cost and stuff like that.
I'm glad I didn't buy Far Cry 3 before I did, there were ton of cool aditions and performance improvements. I doubt South Park will suffer from performance issues though.
EDIT: Additional free content doesn't bother me, of course, it's mostly the performance.

I better be able to run South Park at 4K, 60 FPS
Thank God.
Uhh hate to burst your bubble but the AC3 performance issues are still not fixed on most PCs; Ubisoft doesn't much care for it's customers after release. Theres like a hundred page thread on the official AC forums about it.
Stare at your library then go to sleep.

Really? Still random dips? Wow.
Then I guess Far Cry 3 is actually the good exception since at least they bothered to make it better.
Idle for cards while you sleep.
