wait... you mean you gonna play it? that can't be it... that's just wrong (><)

I thought about it, but no, I need to finish Talos... and by then, with any luck, AssCreed Rogue will be out. I intend to make the PC perf. thread for Dying Light, though, so I'll be giving that a whirl.

Edit: I thought DL was unlocking in Australia first but it seems we're just sharing the US unlock date, so I'll probably be beaten to the punch.

I'm enjoying DS2 so far, but yeah, it's not as much as a lived-in, atmospheric world as I would like.

As much as they have worked to balance certain gameplay systems and cut down on cheating, the meat of a good Souls game consists of those beautifully grimy worlds and creative boss battles.

Without those, you won't care what your badass character can do. It's less fun to do it.

to me it was just a less creative game and a less exciting one, even if pretty much all the streamlining (inventory, weapon upgrades, covenants) except soul memory were healthy additions.

it's too iterative and i'm not sure if the souls series can allow itself to be iterative because its design relies on accomplishing things you thought impossible.

That god damn kikimore cave in Witcher 1! The control is so fucking shit!
did you try using oils? i think there's on to deal with those things (kikimore were the spider thingies, right?)

beaten a story about my uncle. doesn't overstay its welcome, tho felt like it lacked a bit of closure. i liked the game, the controls were pretty enjoyable and it was just fun to go swinging yourself about, specially after you unlock all your abilities and you're no longer super restrained by "the right way" to go through areas.

i didn't care too much for the story because it felt a bit too understated, and also the guy doing the narrating sounded super bored and monotone.

cute little game, nothing too mindblowing but entertaining enough to dedicate it the two sittings it asks of you

does Talos tend to overheat your videocard and CPU too? Just curious. I haven't tried it running on other PC yet, but I plan to, it is a tad older but less prone to overheating than my new one.
I also probably will upgrade to quadcore i7, 970(4GB) and SSD (small one) some time this year, although I dread the thought, seems such a waste, I upgrade too often but I somehow always end with slightly faulty hardware, just my luck. On second thought, maybe I need to wait at least a year longer, not that I can't run all games, except Talos (which I still probably be able to run on my other PC) (><)

Haven't had any issues.
damn, you are all around lucky, aren't you?
not jelly, no

Woah, did Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2009 ("2011" to SteamDB) get achievements? I totally don't remember the PC version ever having them and strolling through the client today they're there now.

Steam DB says it got an update 4 days ago but no fanfare about this?

Isn't 2012 oldest one year numbered on steam? Your post is confusing 2009? 2011? The one you are referring to probably is just Duels of the Planeswalkers, with no number?
According to store page it has no achievements.

edited: wait a moment, expansions have? That's confusing

That update isn't related to achievements. Achievements changes look like this:

I like SanctuaryRPG dev reasoning too: It's a whole new game! only looks the same, plays the same and it is called the same (><)

Yeah, that was low. Especially since the game was free on itch.io for a long time and had a 'vote for us on greenlight' button there IIRC.

edited: bundlestars are hyping something that is to happen today, probably some new bundle?

New Bundlestars today, new Humble tomorrow?

Puyo Puyo Tetris on PS4 came today to satisfy me in a way Steam cannot.

Set Tetris free, Ubisoft.

I'm not sure I even want Ubisoft tetris (my fl I wouldn't let me to run it at even 1 fps (¬&#8255;¬), but I would take Puyo Puyo one on steam gladly. It's a travesty we still don't have Tetris on steam.

At least we have Lumines, if only it got discounted some time (·_·)

aren't we tired of waiting?
I so regret not buying it from RU people full price, now it's too late for that too...

Damn, you guys weren't kidding about Hexcells. I juts wanted to beat some time while waiting in the League of Legends match-making queue, but I actually closed the queue after the first levels of Hexcells and played until I now arrived in 6-2.

of course we weren't kidding! we never kid about puzzle games!

The interesting tale of Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms is continuing unabated.

For those that don't know, at some point during early access and without warning some of the content was removed without telling anyone about it and partitioned off to only those who bought a physical copy in Europe. You enter a dungeon and there is a locked gate, so stupid me goes looking for a key or a lever etc... but of course there is no way for me to open it and there is no explanation anywhere that I can't. Probably the most popular topic on the forum is people asking about how to open this gate. Of course when buying the game there is no mention that you can't access this content, 3 quests in total, or get the associated achievements.

Now all of a sudden a digital deluxe edition appears with the 3 quests added but of course there is no way to upgrade a basic copy to deluxe! To be fair, the devs seem to be just as exasperated at the publisher, Bitcomposer, as buyers but as good as the game is, shit like this has really put me off the game.

It's definitely something that will put a lot of people off though. I know that the jumping mechanics in Castlevania on the NES were a big factor in my not getting into the series back then. But for this game it just clicked... eventually.

it reminds me a little of the old Rick Dangerous games you just need to put a little in to get a lot back!!

I wanted to hear the acoustic version. My bad.

:)

It is rather good init!!

played a bit of ys oath in felghana on punished snake's insistence and it's a pretty neat game so far

i guess i'm easy to win over with the ps1-esque jrpg graphics

i wanna know how to long jump tho. i wanna grab that thing over the broken bridge back at the mine and can't figure out how T_T

double tapping move doesn't seem to dash or anything

You can't get it at the start of the game, you will need to come back later.
