I've been playing the crap out of Transistor over the last couple of days, and I have 6 hours in it now. The game is great, but the challenge is really cranked up in the NG+.

I'm at a point now where if I lose one of my 4 abilities, I'm toast. I'm almost level 20, and the bad guys are really just kicking my butt most of the time.

While I enjoy the challenge, the game's difficulty seems to just crank up higher and higher as you go along, even without using the limiters.

I'm afraid that after another few hours, the game is going to lose all of it's fun, which is a shame.

For some reason I find Tier 3: 1 Plex hilarious

I find the whole "bundle" hilarious!

 

[Copons]

Everybody has their tipping point! I was like you myself until the closing days of the 2012 Summer Sale.

As long as the economic crisis keeps rocking I should be in safe waters.

But if I'll land a decent job, tho... OMG I don't even want to think about it

At this rate there's gonna be something like humble steam wallet bundle, pay $20 and get $5 steam wallet credit.

 

[Majukun]

Dust 75% off is the daily

just finished the game 2 days ago.

really good game..the action part is a bit shallow but is enough to keep you entertained..good level design,secrets,and it's also pretty long for his genre..I 100% it in around 14 hours

20$: 15$ STEAM WALLET!

Hang on, isn't 1 PLEX $20 anyway? Seems like a shady way to get someone to signup to a recurring EVE sub to me.

I'm sure the GDP of Italy is through the roof right now as due to one of the barmy things we do at work we have spent a small fortune on Panini World Cup stickers.

WOAH
I didn't know it was a thing outside Italy!

I don't give a damn about football nowadays, but oooooh when I was a kid... I guess without Panini stickers now I'd have a Steam library that would put JaseC's one to shame, or like I'd be one of the major shareholders of Apple or something.

Apparently it's a thing here in the US, too. Who knew?

Call me skeptical, but I am going to play the wait and see approach with Watch_Dogs. The price and the Uplay integration don't make the proposition any better.

Replaying Sleeping Dogs sounds more appealing anyways.

Fantastic picture!

I know I will not like Watch_Dogs at all and will probably uninstall but I will give it a go.

Oh_how_I_hate_sequel_experimentation_with_different_lead_characters_

That is why I was never a "Final Fantasy fan". Only like FFX-9-7 and crisis core.

Of course Watch_Dogs is not a sequel but I really would have preferred a sequel to Sleeping Dogs and the third one connecting it with Watch_Dogs. I find it extremely hard to detach myself from what I have played and re-invest into something new right away.

Lifeless Planet

Just checked to see what this game was about, and... holy shit. Officially on my radar now. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, man.

 

[fantomena]

Wolfenstein was a really fun game. 3 chapters left and i have heavily enjoyed it.

 

[VikasNarula]

No, and even if you could it's not as though you'd be able to activate it because the key is already tied to your account. If you bought the game from Uplay hoping to be able to skip ahead a couple of days then you went the worst possible way about it since Uplay doesn't even support pre-loading.

Want to play the game early? Find a physical copy. Want to pre-load? Grab it on Steam. Want to wait? Stick with your Uplay version.

[RionaaM]

I finally managed to fix my little GFWL problem. And by "little" I mean that any game that used it crashed to desktop as soon as I launched it. Turns out I had to log in on the Xbox Live site and accept the new terms and conditions; otherwise GFWL would refuse to log in and bring down the game with it.

So yeah, thank you Microsoft, thank you for not letting me know I had to do this, for not putting a button as soon as GFWL launches that says "Click here to accept the new terms and conditions so you can continue playing this DRM-infested game." and instead forcing me to search through some random forums for the solution. I really appreciate that. Looks like you worked extremely hard to make the very worst piece of DRM that mankind ever saw, and the only thing you lacked was a hardware-damaging feature a la Starforce (I'm not blaming you; you probably were short on time and already overbudget, so you couldn't add it).

Of course, I already uninstalled Dark Souls and erased my save games, so I'll have to start it from scratch once again. But at least I can play it now. Not thanks to you, Microsoft.

The updated TOS catches another. Such bullshit.

Ask for a refund and rebuy it on steam.

I guess this guy gets a pass, but for some reason I can't help but beat the crap out of NPCs in open-world games peeing on buildings and such. I'd roll up to my apartment in Sleeping Dogs, a guy would be there peeing on the wall, he'd walk up and say hi and I'd knock him the f out. I gotta have some morals, as twisted as they may be.

WD doesn't even look that much better than Watch Dogs on PC and the highest settings. At least from the screenshots that have been posted. Maybe it's better in motion.

June 20th: Residue
June 26th: Unrest

I still can't believe how useless GFWL is, when it doesn't even tell you the ToS changed. It's like... No, I can't find an appropriate analogy for that. It's unique.

Divinity could be very good, I am saving myself for Wasteland 2 in August though.

Keep your eye on early access games H1Z1 and The Forest (essentially comes out in June).

...so I just went ahead and picked up SSF4AE with my Playfire credit. Hopefully I did the right thing.

Autosport is Arcade+Simulation, I want to get it but I'm worried it has more Simulation, I just want to play a racing game where I drive at crazy ass speeds bursting through the race tracks.
I've gotten a few based on recommendations from GAF which I am thankful for =)

Maybe I should get Mad Racers next time it goes on sale; does it run at 60 FPS on PC?

 

[Li Kao]

Nope. DDE owners should be eligible for a small discount considering it includes all but one of the fluff pieces.



Happy day of birth!

Err, so which version should I buy if I want to have the maximum stuff ? Yeah sorry it seems simple with the link but for one my brain freezes when I try to make sense of all the shit listed (I still want the shit) and when you have to ask something ubisoft, region, price related, you ask Jase ;-)

Have you played Race Driver: Grid? I wouldn't call it exactly a simulation, with all driving aids on and using the flashback system it was pretty easy and fun game to play like an arcade racer. I think Autosport is going to feature toggleable driving aids, so it is pretty much an arcade racer with the option for more finesse with a steering wheel controller. I don't think Codemasters would want to alienate the arcade racer crowd, even though theres a vocal part of the fanbase of the series calling for more realism.

 

[Skyzard]

Cloudbuilt is 50% for the week. I have had this one on my wishlist for some time now, but never actually read any impressions about it. Has someone here played the game?

Yep, only played a bit but it's awesome! Buy.
