So about Sonic Forces- Is the P5 outfit region specific? I asked in the Sonic thread mainly because I don't see the P5 outfit in any of the retailers i frequent eg Gamesplanet, and someone posted that it'd be region specific so some regions may not get access to it.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Eh I just skip this sorry excuse of a fanfic and just go about slaughtering orcs and building my army.
Sometimes you just gotta settle for the gameplay and enjoy the game for that.

I recently finished Agents of Mayhem, took me around 40 hours to complete everything on 100% according to in-game stats. I was thinking what next big game i should play next, seriously considered buying ELEX, but friend suddenly gifted me new South Park, so i guess i have new game to play until Wolf2 release. Sorry Piranha Bytes, maybe next time. I played first South Park and kinda enjoyed it, but this season was so packed with games that i didn't even considered buying new one on release, so i don't know what to expect from it, hope Ubisoft won't screw up.
Maybe at retail, but not digitally.

Don't need to change to pounds, 27.07 anyway. And I've finally ordered it.
The story is actively damaging my sanity.

Looking at videos of alternate choices in I Have No Mouth:
Holy shit, offering to eat the kid instead of taking his place in the sacrifice counts as a good ending. Bwahaha, what the fuck, game?

Look at it this way: Skip whenever you can and once you realize you are putting more hours into the gameplay than story, you'll not care for it anymore and it won't affect you!
Just make sure to listen to Shrek-sensei when he joins your army in Act/Chapter 2 since his teachings are very effective!
Mind you I've read Grant Morrison, watched Twin Peaks, and read through the entire JoJo series about half a dozen times, so my sanity can handle meh-quality fan fiction a lot easier

Haven't played this game in months now, and this reveal isn't making me want to go back, either. Think I might boot it back up and update just to buy Abigail, though.
Have they fixed the online yet or am I still doomed over here since I really only care for online features? :")
Physical copies are still sold here and there, but they don't come with a Steam key.
That would be sweeeet!

Godddamn I'm hyped to begin this game tonight! Gotta study some and then..
OT is pretty dead, and there's nothing in their OP, but you can try your luck and post.
Oh, they're in the Morrowind one. Nvm.

The Evil Within 2 has been a ride and a half and I have a love/hate with the fact that a stealth kill is no longer a guaranteed one.

Anyone know when Elex unlocks? Will it be worldwide unlock or VPN saavy unlock?

Seems only the L4D witch looking characters you can kill in one hit with a sneak. Unless you can sneak on bigger enemies. Havent bothered to sneak on say the one that drops acid

Ah, too bad. Thanks for letting me know.
So, turns out i played The Evil Within 2 on the highest difficulty afterall, dunno what happened, but when i lowered it it must have not registered the fact huh.
So maybe that was the reason i never had any ammunition, figures.
Anyways, a pretty cool but also disappointing game.
I felt throughout most of the game TWE2 didn't even attempted to be scary or horror, instead it was much more straightforward action mostly. I've also been missing the surrealism of the first game, other than at the beginning and occasionally in between, you'll mostly be walking through generic suburbs and evil science laboratories.
Like, PsychoBreak already got a premise that allows the devs to do literally anything and have it make sense within the story, but for some reason they decided to go with settings and enemies that could fit into pretty much any other zombie game for the most part.
I hope they'll get a bit more creative with the next game again

Has anyone played the puzzle game Kairo? I completed the first part yesterday, but there was a weird optional puzzle based on sound (standing on tiles) that I couldn't seem to solve based on the info in the room. Is there a hint elsewhere? I looked at a guide on Steam and it just stated the solution, not the actual reasoning behind it.
That's disappointing to hear because that's what I loved about TEW: RE4 gameplay with actual horror. Still plan on playing it though.

I mean one of the biggest complaints of the first game was how disjointed all of those environments felt. Even with a story reason for being able to have them. Though I agree I'd like some more variety i'd rather take what TEW2 has been offering than the whiplash TEW1 gave me as I progressed through it's story.
Also who knows about a next game. Three days and it's only sold about 40K. Not terrible but that's vastly under the first game. Which I think managed 100K in that same sort of time frame. Would not be surprised if we don't see another TEW. Considering we were worried about Dishonored and Prey which did more (But were still under expectations)
I'm sure the next one is bringing back

Tomb Raider '13 and its sequel take the UC formula and just expand on it....with some uninspired modern game mechanics (open world-like hub, some poorly thought out upgrades, silly story progressing mechanics or items)
The UC games are very linear and offer nothing much in terms of gameplay outside of cover shooting to gun down hordes and hordes of enemy waves. The initial games have not aged well at all IMO and I 've just beaten UC2 which is considered the best in the series.
I beg to differ; it is as uninspired as its predecessor far as game design goes.
The shooting is good but that alone didn't save its single player campaign from being a slog and snoozefest.
If they were shorter games I may have liked them more.
Lovely graphics though.
It's really sad comparing SFV to MvsCI.
I would buy the second one, but really, it's like forcing myself to support a greedy company which milk the already small user base. SFV offers new characters and the possibility to get them for free, if you put enough time into the game. You can always buy them. Marvel otherwise offers you just a 30 season pass (and since it's called First Year or something like that I guess there will be a second pass too), and considering some characters were simply cut to be offered as season pass characters (and the roster is disappointing and...well, small in my opinion), it feels like a total rip-off.

There's hope yet.
Yeah, same here.
It still baffles me that no other dev tried to shoehorn the nemesis system into their games.
Though I guess of the top of my head I can't really think of games that might gel with that kind of system, I guess no one else could either.

The good thing about PC gaming is that more often than not you can find cheap prices for games and get them as legally as possible.
Like MvC I for GBP 15 over @ CDKEYS~
Capcom and Marvel (Marvel released a statement that they want their games to be of good quality, but MvC I leaves much to be desired at best) dropped the ball with this game; the Season 1 DLC characters should've been in the main roster for one thing.
I like MvC I's gameplay and it is a solid game overall but its roster isn't all that impressive atm, and the visuals, while passable IMO, lack that artistic or thematic feel that UMvC3 had.

Mad Max using it for vehicle combat is the only game I could really think of that would work mechanically within the story with baddies coming back with rebuilt war rigs after being defeated.
Yeah I absolutely love the game. Of course now there is all the extra content to go through too.
Anything dealing with crime and gangs would probably be a great fit for the nemesis system. Procedurally generated crime families, with capos that you need to either take out or turn, leading to underbosses, leading to the boss at the top of the whole family.
Mafia/Pirates games would be a perfect fit for the system imo.
I would take it just for the story mode and for fighting in local games against my brother, since I'm not so good in multiplayer.
I liked SFV campaign, and from the demo Marvel is pretty much on the same tone, only with Marvel characters.
What franchise does WB have the rights to use that could possibly have crime families?
I can't think of any.
As someone who rates the first game very highly this concerns me about getting the sequel. I loved the surrealism and shifting between environments in the original. I did fear from the start that they would listen to certain complaints too much and produce a much more generic horror action game.
I'll get round to trying it eventually though. I fear it'll run like shit on my system right now anyway so I'll wait.
I can see the Nemesis system working with something like Borderlands 3. Make it funny and it an being an FPS would make it refreshing.
Also Bethesda could spruce up their next rpg with some similar type of system. Tho Bethesda's take on Nemesis would probably make the game collapse on itself with bugs n stuff.

I think it's way too early to be using SteamSpy stats, pal.

Most important Prey achievement unlocked
It really is.
Same here, I'm constantly impressed with the game and then considering that their asking price is only 15 it makes it so damn sweet.
