I just can't take anyone saying Revelations is a better game than 5 overall.
Maybe if you want something scarier but that's about the only avenue it wins out at.
5 had the better story and far better action even with the lack of being able to move and shoot.

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.
Sorry if asked a bunch already...but have the store page backgrounds always been broken since the update or just this morning? *scratches head*

Are you referring to the jpg artifacting or to the hard lines between transitions? Because those have both been present since the new update went live.

5 is an amazing game. Not the best Resident Evil, but a fantastic game overall.
Not as good as 4, but way better than 6 and Revelations!

Those two and the opacity of what should be the store background...it's like 5% or something. Weird! Ok, glad it's not just me.

Any users of a Samsung 840 EVO (like me) or non-Evo but non-Pro here?

Then you should be aware that the firmware has a bug that degrades performance significantly over time which has been known since a while but now Samsung has responded and they'll be issuing a firmware fix in October.

I'll post again as soon as it's live since everyone should update asap.

Here's a loooong thread about the issue: http://www.overclock.net/t/1507897/samsung-840-evo-read-speed-drops-on-old-written-data-in-the-drive

Oh weird, I have had some issues with that. Thanks for posting! Didn't know it was a widespread thing.
 
godammit, i pulled up the old Batman Blackgate thread to read people's impressions of the game when it came out (a thing i always do when i finish a game) and when i clicked on a spoiler, it happened that the spoiler was for Origins and that person had decided to post their criticisms for Oranges in the wrong thread.

I guess I know that game's twist now : /

It's alright, it's the worst part of the game. Now you just get to be mad early, there's still good story beats to enjoy after it though.

Well, at the very least one achievement requires if I recall correctly a second playthrough and in order to achieve one or two of the other ones you should have to know what to do during your playthrough.
There's a chapter select, so I don't think it's that tough. For the hats, you don't have to play anything over again, once you find them and check them, it's recorded.

Yeah this is true. Its better than my when my best friend ruined the ending for Batman Arkham City for me before I got a chance to beat it.

Now we're not even friends.

This is getting ridiculous, I got 17 coupons in a span of couple days, 3 I think. Isn't that a bit too much? At least one could have been booster pack (._.)

That's a relief. I guess I can't still look forward to a decent adventure. Thanks!

Can I call my dragon "Trogdor"?

Thanks for posting, this will no doubt save me from headaches in the future.
 
In case anyone isn't paying attention to Greenlight, Keen Dreams was posted a few days ago. Basically, this is a "lost episode" of the Commander Keen series. It takes places between the first 3 Keen games and the second set of 3 Keen games, it has a theme about vegetables, it has no ray gun and is also missing a number of normal series features, it was published by a different publisher... everything about it is kind of weird. It's not my favourite Keen, but the whole series deserves to be made available. The dev is also promising to look into achievements and other bonus content.

Moreover, the dev, who is just a random guy who licensed the game specifically for release and preservation, uploaded the game's entire source code to GitHub. So, that's pretty badass.

Even if you're not a fan of the series, I think this definitely meets the threshold to be Greenlit, so maybe lend it your vote?

This was the first part of the series I ever played back in the 90's - not sure it was ever "lost", but IIRC it was freeware. It was a decent platformer. The vegetable-throwing mechanic was amusing, although I didn't find it to be too difficult.

Still, I'm all for seeing it on Greenlight.

Thanks for the info, didn't knew about that. I use a non-EVO 840 as my system drive.
 
I finally got my hands on a Xbone controller, the handling is great, however the vibration feels weaker than my X360 wireless controller.

Bumping this to the next page, because I just saw it. Keen rules.

Word of warning: the indie royale price has increased by a cent every 5 minutes in the last 20 minutes, apparently.
It's BTA-style now?

For some reason I find it slightly amusing that the GeForce Experience program wants to optimize South Park and the only option is downsampling from 3840x2160. Well okay then.

Really? Is this Proto-Babil a new addition to DS version? I can't remember if I beat it or not on SNES. I usually do all the available stuff on each FF, so if it was there, I beat it. But sure I completed the game only once.
EDIT: This is Proto-Babil.
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Proto-Babil
And yes, is exclusive of DS version. Reading the description, you need an item to summon him...I wonder if I edit my savegame to change the id of a potion to Dark Matter...I can summon it, right?

You should be able to if you can get the item in there. Now actually being able to beat him on a first playthrough... that might be a bit tough in itself. Read up into what augments work best on everyone and it'll really help in that fight, cause I fought him along time ago in the DS version and he is no joke.

But why, levels stuck if you do a new play?
Is like New Game +?
Now I need to find a way to discover id of Dark Materia and replacing it.

Also:

We all lost this:

http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/VSo...steam-giveaway-at-plantronics-facebook/page/2

:(

NG+, as well as getting more augments which always help. You might be able to do it in the first playthrough, just level up alot and get used to the game because it's much much harder than FFIV on the SNES or any other version of the game. Going through the game, Protect/Shell and Blink are gonna be your best friends as well as haste.

Oooookkkkk.
So after some really fun hours swapping my 560ti for the 970, seeing that one of my power cable is dead, and generally trying to make sense of the cable management in here...

3d Mark test - Before / After
Fire Strike - 3025 / 8998
Sky Diver - 9033 / 19747
Cloud Gate - 12243 / 16603
Ice Storm - 121305 / 136128
All of these with a 2500k non-OC, 3.3ghz

At a glance, the card is a beast on the more demanding test.
What do you think of the results ? Anything that scream 'defect card, flee the building asap' ?

I, too, loved the Keen games as a child and remember getting one of them for free with my Gamepad (you know the one)

I remember Keen Dreams.. and now I hear it was lost? Was it truly ever lost or was I just a hipster child?

Yeah, that's what I figured but honestly there's little you can do to give everything exposure.

Time to oc that 2500, you can get to 9500 easily.
