idk why but some of the dark souls mechanics kind of elluded me in hollow knight

maybe cos i wasn't expecting it to be a dark souls game, so for me the benches were just benches instead of bonfires, so for most of the game i didn't understand what was triggering enemy respawns

anyways, i wish i could remember where the bank lady was cos i've been running around with like 4k geos for like hours now and while the game is not super hard, it's still stressful to carry all that money around

not much else to add, except fuck the part with the crusher thingies

i fucking hate that part lol

Agents of Mayhem is one of those games where everyone not involved on it knew it was going to fail. This is their punishment for pushing Kinzie and killing off the cooler characters.

Is AoM literally just Saint's Row? The Steam page screams that.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Best buy fucked up. They're offering the corsair yellow jacket wireless headset for $9.99 if you use their normal sales price ($70) and then log into your account and use the $60 off coupon (which wasn't meant to stack). I'm gonna give them a go, though the yellow is very... Uh, gamer gear.

Saints Row 4 without most of traversal superpowers, none of the story bits and with general aesthetics copied of Overwatch.

She's at the bottom of the Fog Canyon, I think by Queen's Station.

Yep.

Spoiler

Go to Queen's Station, take the top-left exit, and then just continue left.

The game is not hard although I found some difficulty spikes here and there, mainly in some optional bosses and an optional platforming section in the later stage of the game.

The banker is located in the southern part of the Fog Canyon. If you enter from the Mantis town side, it's the door on the left.

 

[Large Professor]

i get what you mean, but this feels kind of problematic

like the idea that indies are competing for your impulse buy instead of a conscious buy is weird. like you put the choice of buying hollow knight next to discounted nier 2 or whatever for no reason other than money

i see myself doing this all the time and it feels real icky

I can't disagree.

Also, some recent examples of cheap and excellent indie games (they exist):

You get the skill back by reaching access points after the fight.

No, it's only temporarily removed.

Nice, that's good. I was afraid of losing skills, so I restarted a boss fight

Just signed up for a best buy account and it looks like the coupon isn't there.

 

[deejay]

Damn i somehow though its aleady out :-( i rememmber them alking about early 2017 date

Bought this game 4 years ago, I checked yesterday. It's getting ridiculous.

cmon, kinzie is great!

Saints Row 4 without most of traversal superpowers, none of the story bits and with general aesthetics copied of Overwatch.

i disagree about it sharing aesthetics with overwatch

i mean there's super soldiers with guns but the approach is pretty different (and way lamer imo)

oh nice

i was actually gonna ask for no one to tell me cos i wanted to randomly stumble upon her but it's no biggie haha

yeah the game's totally doable, nothing has given me much trouble. most difficult stuff was the egg bug thing that spit the flying piranhas and i came up with a pretty solid strategy to beat that one so it was ok

worst so far was those fucking crusher blocks, i fucking hate that part so much

I can't disagree.

Also, some recent examples of cheap and excellent indie games (they exist):

+1 to fidel! (nothing against the other one, just haven't played it)

but yeah, doesn't take much to find a wealth of cheap and excellent indie games

i just think they should charge a little more (and aaa a little less)

and they all should do regional pricing (i'm told argieland will get the ability to have regional pricing on steam soon-ish)

its the usual stuff when we have one huge popular game with certain look to it ... so everyone who uses even remotely similar aestetic is automatically copying it

GOTY 2011.

White Day a Labyrinth Named School remake releases VERY soon, it's a remake of one of my favorite horror games ever and releasing on August 22nd..

Early review & impressions also are looking good.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Capcom sale huh?

...

we're not getting RE3 anytime soon huh

 

[Large Professor]

I wish Enter The Gungeon had daily challenges.

 

[Rizzi]

I didn't think Saints Row 4 was very good. Maybe that's why I like Agents of Mayhem?

 

[zkylon]

its the usual stuff when we have one huge popular game with certain look to it ... so everyone who uses even remotely similar aestetic is automatically copying it

i can see where the comparisons come from but i feel they're mostly superficial and comparing everything to overwatch is not always conductive to a useful conversation i feel

anyways, very much unlike overwatch i think neither the setting nor the characters have managed to inspire people, so that's a shame

the coop confusion also seems like they didn't really market the game super well

it's a really confusing game lol

 

[prudislav]

yeah the marketing was really weird and confuding for it ... most of my friends thought its just another hero shooter and were surprised its actually SR_esque openworld game

yeah they explained quite well in the streams what the game is (but only fraction of people watches them) and trailers were mostly aimed at the agents

Who was saying indie games were too cheap?

It must have cost a lot to develop that full screen mode.

Somehow the game has almost 100k owners.

I assume it was bundled at some point.

It used to cost no more than $2 up until a few days ago, and was regularly on sale for $0.75.

 

[Jim_Cacher]

Built my gaming PC on last Saturday, and I am here playing Hitman 2016. Such a great game, oh my god. The Paris level is overwhelmingly big (in a good way), and after walking around several times, I can still discover new dialogues from NPCs. Although the game only consists of 6 main levels (and some bonus levels based on the same map), I am pretty sure I will pour over 100 hours into this game.

This is such a great opener to entering PC gaming. Awesome.

 

[Lain]

You could say that Agents of Maybe bombed really hard. After 4 days only 22K owners. To put it into the perspective LawBreakers had around 50K after the same time on the market.

Selling a for 60€ what should have been priced lower brings those kind of results. Add in the lukewarm to negative reviews and it can only perform badly. If it wasn't for cdkeys having it for 33€ I wouldn't have bought it and even if what I've played of it is fun, crashing because of lack of memory with 8GB isn't a good experience.

Speaking of memory, what are good resources to see what kind of memory I should try to find to upgrade mine? I'm still using an i5-2500k with a P8Z68-V MB and I'd like to get some better ram than what I'm using.

 

[zkylon]

if they did suddenly raise the price like that it sounds like they're abusing the system

probably worth reporting if there's evidence that's what they're doing?

I guess you are joking, but some variance is unavoidable with the methods used by SteamSpy. Furthermore, you should understand that the actual value given by SteamSpy is a range You have to consider the +- part as well.

It goes up and down from 810K to 890K constantly and i understand that there will be variance but i never saw it go like this.

Got a new GPU last month after years of being on integrated and just playing on consoles. Still 86 games on my account. Enabled Steam Guard/Authenticator, the one that sends you a code to login with. This is all that's needed to be secure, right?

Anyway, glad to be part of the community. I won't sell my Xbox, but you know how it goes once you see the light. Again.

Children of Morta will include online co-op when it launches

Great news.

partnered with 11 bit studios (the creators of This War of Mine) as the publisher for the game [...] Currently planning to launch in early 2018.

The stretch goal that we had missed during the Kickstarter campaign was the Xbox One version. Partnering with 11 bit studios and their support enabled us to bring back Xbox One to the plans and today we're glad to tell all you Xbox owners out there that the game will also be made for the platform!

We will be attending Gamescom and PAX West and you guys are welcome to come to 11 bit studios booth to see us, try the game (co-op with your best buddy or one of us and also get some Children of Morta goodies like this here!

We have a brand new website: http://childrenofmorta.com and don't forget to follow us on twitter: http://twitter.com/childrenofmorta and http://twitter.com/deadmagestudio

A brand new trailer:

[Ludens]

Well, Origin Access is really a good value if you use it well: with 4€ I played Titanfall 2, Battlefield 1, Aragami and The Saboteur, basically 1€ each.
