It is just sad because even though it has UPlay Ubisoft started adding Steam features to their games like Cards and Steam Achievements. And if I remember correctly UPlay on Steam today is just one time log in and after that it is just splash window that opens and closes automatically.
Oh wow realised it's less than two weeks till I become essentially homeless, time to download all the games I would want to play. When it comes to offline mode, can I go into it later or do I have to do it while I have internet? Also, achievements and such, do I still get them?
Some games requires that you are online in order to unlock achievements, as they send signals to the server once the requirement of each achievements has been fulfilled.
There are some games that unlock achievements retroactively, not all games do that.
Ah alright, hmh not going to lie, I do like those achievements.XD I'm guessing games will warn if it's a case of not working completely properly in offline mode.
They're very different. The first movie is a philosophical meditation on personal identity, and asks how you can retain continuity of your personal identity in a world that's ever changing, a body/shell that's changing and even a mind/ghost that's changeable. It answers that question too.
You can't, and your efforts to remain what you are is what limits you.
There's some fantastic action scenes in it, but it's closer to an arthouse movie really.
The series, Stand Alone Complex, on the other hand, is more interested in exploring society's reaction to these changes, through the lens of criminal acts using new technology and social movements emerging from those changes. There's more action, more variety and more time to explore the other characters, with episodes focusing on Saito, Togusa and even Pazu.
I love both of them, though SAC takes it by a nose, mostly due to Mary Elizabeth McGlynn taking the lead vocal role.
Absolutely, the movies are great too - I just preferred the series (for some of the reasons you mentioned).
Something I should mention, I never watch anime with dubs - just ruins the 'atmosphere' for me. I know some dubs are amazing, but I've always felt subs is the way to go for anime. It takes some time, but once you get used to it you don't really miss any of the anime whilst reading the subs. The only downside here is if you download bad subs.
The irony of this discussion is that @pantsattack actually wanted to get back into gits because of the English movie - which I thought was terrible. It didn't capture the 'essence' of this world at all. The team was non-existent, the major was...I don't even know. And the villain was a complete shitshow. Maybe he'll realize it too once he watches the series

Steam Direct was a mistake
Yeah, i know it's good, but still i literally have no room for another game, currently I'm playing World in Conflict, Killer Instinct, Cold War, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Dark Matter, Clive Barker's Jericho, Blazing Angels 2 and new South Park. I need to finish at least one of them before diving into the new one.
EA sold rights on Wasteland and System Shock, so there is always a chance. Also, fuck EA and modern AAA market in general, i want my AAA singleplayer games from early 00's to come back. I pray that Wolfenstein 2 would sell well, or this industry is probably doomed, if it's not at the endpoint already. As much as i love indies, i fell in love with gaming because stuff like GTA: Vice City and Chronicles of Riddick, i want to see new Max Payne, Portal, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and not those fucking AAA multiplayer only slot-machines.
better to do it why you still have internet andthen put steam in offline mode and set it to start into it after all is done ... also beware of denuvo-protected games ,they could randomly ask for reauthorization after first offline week.

How the hell did people ever finish The Witcher 3?
I'm apparently 23 hours in and the game shows no sign of stopping (~level 10).
I haven't even really gone out of my way too much to do some the less central side quests (e.g. the treasure hunts and other standard notice board fare) and still, there's a TON of compelling quests that aren't in the main line, let alone the massive map and the dozens, if not hundreds of POIs on it.
Yeah, I could main quest rush, but that's not how I tend to play these types of games, and you'd miss out on a bunch of interesting stuff that seems like it could have an impact later on.
I know it's been said to be a 100+ hour game, but damn. I might have to work on some other games that'll be shorter to complete before trying to deep dive into The Witcher.

Anyone in here with a 1050 Ti? I'm looking at that option for my build and it seems it will do the job just fine for 1080p gaming (which is funny since my TV can't really do 1080p but whatever).
I don't plan on playing online games whatsoever so 60fps at single player would be great for me and I see many games work at that range or around in ultra settings. I'm pairing it with a Ryzen 1600 and 8GB of RAM to get started.
Anyone else can share their impressions with that card? I'm not sure if I should be asking this here or in the PC thread.

It's a good low-range card. I'm playing all games on ultra. I had issues in Witcher 3 (but that's because I forgot to turn off the hair options) and Wildlands (maybe my cpu isn't the best - ryzen 1400).
Just keep in mind that upcoming games (1-2years) will most definitely not work smoothly on ultra (e.g. new Assassin's Creed).
They do send a decent amount of free games through GFE but decent means your chances of actually winning something are still minuscule considering the millions of users they have. Ten thousand games, ten million users, and you have one in thousand chance of winning and that's probably way higher number than the actual chance is. It's a decent size lottery win to get something through GFE.

It really (i mean REALLY) not very good game, beat it in 2017 and wow, some moments (like mandatory challenge arenas) are just inexcusable.

Uh... okay. Does he follow the game industry at all? As a dev? Because that seems like a schtick rather than "just happening". He can't be oblivious about who made that game, right?
I've only seen a bit of his Zelda stream but he seems to be a DSP

While SP was a great SP game, I thought it was a piss poor RPG.
The new one goes a bit deeper on the RPG aspects.
It took me 123 hours to finish the game and 2 xpacs. Without touching any of the openworld busywork!

The main thing I remember about Dante Infernos is the penultimate fight where they shove all the political layers of hell from the source material that they couldnt easily make trashy themed areas out of into a survival arena.
(Hmm, with my vast knowledge of abbreviations, and without looking at the Wikipedia page, I of course can guess what you meant)
A direct support professional?
An officer of the Delaware State Police?
A member of the Demokratik Sol Parti (a leftist party in Turkey)?
Suffering Diarrhetic shellfish poisoning?
A winner of the Deutscher Spiele Preis?

"So, we've finished almost every map except the special areas, like the last dungeon.
Also we still need to make some adjustments, but all the enemies and bosses are functioning. Traps and puzzles are also properly set.
These days we are concentrating on the events and such. "
From October 13th.
There aint no tuition for having no ambition. Apparently even in Germany.

Well, many publishers/developers are sadly not realizing this, and think that Denuvo will help them.

Good. This is also the reason I haven't bought the Stick of Truth either. Why can't all companies release their games on GOG?
