You think this is some sort of game, Seahorse?

Sick of these early access zombie games.

This made my week! Let's
ZZ
GO!


Holy crap, I just discovered The Bard's Tale on Gog and Steam (which has images of the remake) actually also includes the original trilogy. Hrm. Hard to bite at 10 when it's been far cheaper on both, though. Even though it's worth 10.

Questions:

1) I know Gog ensures all 'old' games work on modern systems. At least, that's what I've been led to believe. Does Steam do this too?

2) I see I can pick up all the games on IOS for only $3. It's $10 for the Steam/GOG versions... do touch controls modernize the game in any way? I've played them all back in the day so know what I'm in for... I'm more wondering if playing on an iphone is actually superior in any way, or is as hellish as I imagine it might be. Can anyone weigh in?

Man. I hate that I missed sales on this. Just can't justify $10 right now.
 
For those interested, this mod really is super simple to have Playstation button prompts in Dark Souls instead of Xbos ones. So much better with my DS3.

I also went ahead, bought Artorias Crest and opened the Forrest. Not gonna lie. After the beauty that was Sen's Fortress tail end and the whole of Anor Londo this really feels super flat and bland :/
I also to my own surprise managed to defeat Sif on my first try! He is actually pretty easy in that his attacks have some good build-up time and just becoming practically invulnerable by dodging underneath him helped to get some time for spells and Eastus.

Kinda felt bad for the little guy at the end when he started limping and didn't pose any real threat to me anymore. But I did take him out of his misery :(
It's the second time actually when I found a liking in a boss - kinda.

Now I'll either buy some arrows and snipe the Hydra from above, head to the painting (for the first time), go down the Catacombs or New Londo Ruins.

Probably Painting.

+1 to the family count is complete.

Hell of a week, SteamBros. Hell of a week.
Congrats buddy and glad everything went smooth :)
Now to teach mini-bosstone about what he is going to inherit in games ;)
That 21:9 thread got me feeling some type of way right now.

No worries! It's what I've been doing since gawping over Nabs' and Stall's pics all last year. Here's just a taste of a few more...
No way... NO WAY! Is that how Dark Souls can look like??? :O
It's like.. like a whole different game :(
For those wondering AMD does support hardware encoding via their VCE block. I have an R9 290 and I use the forked build of OBS to record using VCE quite easily with zero issues.

At this point, I would wait before buying anything as 22/20nm parts are right on the horizon but I'm not mad at all with the $230 I spent on my R9 290.

Crazy value.
Only 230$ ? Wow, that is like almost the highest tier AMD GPU! What a great deal.
I was mainly because of better driver support and game optimization settled on getting an Nvidia but AMD really has better prices + the rumored new ram makes me all undecided again :/
Could you please tell me if gaming with AMD really is a pain or overblown?
I've found JaseC in Talos XD
I always knew JaseC was a bit off in the "being human" department.
Now it all makes sense. He collects all form of gaming entertainment to learn human behavior better. Either he wants to become more human or it is a way to determine a more effective way of extermination.
 

A Fish Aficionado

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Really cool. Like how they went all out with different artstyles for different tracks.
But the car itself, its constant wobble and the smokes are kinda nagging.
Tire marks would be better aesthetically, plus the sound gets irritating and this is coming from someone who enjoys going to professional drift racing.
 
Man, I miss Prey. Really wish I had it on Steam :/

Am jelly, congratulations. Atraveller is a beast. ;p
I still have one key left, thinking about what to do with it.
It costs about $35 USD in the China store, and for a while it wasn't region locked. It is now
Was 29.99.
Now I'm wondering how often do people do that.
No, not that, I'm talking about hiding things in their posts.
Someone got punished for doing that to a lot of his posts, then all of his posts automatically got turned into "We warned you.", and people needed to quote them to see the real content.
 
It still is and I am still wondering whether I should buy it.
Now that China has its own sub, Rockstar can geo-lock it in the future without affecting the ROW crowd. Buy if you think it's worth it, at worst you won't be able to play it when you return to Germany when Rockstar does lock it.

I'm replaying (once again) the X-Wing series using the GOG release as excuse, and while playing modded Alliance I can't stop wondering what crazy non-Star Citizen things modders will create for Star Citizen.

I mean, we went from this:

I'm pretty sure somewhere there is an insane guy already planning to create an X-Wing or TIE Fighter remake for SC.
Because Disney won't do shit :(
 
I don't get all the fuss over Sakura Spirit. I did one playthrough a couple weeks back and was underwhelmed.

It's the kind of game that hits the "I can find better hentai than waste my time playing this" threshold. Not even good spank material, to be honest. Don't understand all the pithy reviews on its Steam store page.

Isn't Star Citizen an MMO... or at least, always online? There won't be any mods.

Chronology is a very nice and entertaining little timey-wimey puzzle platformer.
It's not very long or too difficult, but I had fun.

Nice relaxing game after the adrenaline rush of Alien ;)

Thank you everyone for the best wishes, be it in the thread, PMs or on Steam.
Hopefully those of you that won games will have fun with them.

I decided to buy Venetica earlier today. For some reason I got interested in it when it was on Greenlight. Most likely it's because it has a female protag. More games need them to diversify more. Now I just need to find the time to start it up.

It's more of a Multiplayer game with tons of people, but not a traditional MMO. It'll have modding, it'll have an SDK of sorts and it'll also have a vast singleplayer mode. And it's not always online.

Edit: Well... This entire post was supposed to be an edit, oops.

An interesting variation of echolocation games. There is too much of a pause between being able to ping and fire one of your abilities, which work like Portal 2 paint abilities, for my liking. But the build I have is still super early. I think I need to wait until this gets developed a little bit more because I'm not a fan of it right now. The game bills itself as a stealth game, and while there are stealthy things that need doing, you can just barrel through some places without incident.​
Woah. I usually am hardened to visual stimuli but this gave me headache after a couple minutes. It's a nice technique but the constant light changes, darkness gets heavy on eyes and mind.
It has some interesting mechanics though.

Now this is a great game even early on. Game is buttery smooth, looks great and is a fantastic physics puzzler. It's essentially just the meta part of Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, (i.e. The Fun Part) with simple objectives. Building is also SUPER simple, in terms of building not of making something work XD. I had a ton of fun playing and genuine laughs from seeing the random stuff happening. Forgot to mention how immensely easy it is to move around. Middle-clicking on a point of reference and having the camera pan to that area is a game-changer.

Good Lord, this looks really fun. Had some real good laughs watching this. Especially when contraptions worked in not an intended way XD
Effects are also really nice. Looks quality. Great that it will come to Steam.

Star Citizen is a "massive" multiplayer game on a persistent universe.

Star Citizen is also a multiplayer game on personal servers.

Star Citizen is also a single player/coop campaign.

For the official servers there won't be any mods, yeah. But for the rest, there will be plenty. Actually, being mod friendly is something CiG has always featured, as you can see on the Kickstarter.

How will modding work?

Players will be given full control of their game! When operating private servers, players will be able and encouraged to mod the game. It doesn’t stop there, though: we hope to institute a ‘mod approval’ process that will allow the best of the best player created ships and other additions to be integrated into the central persistent world as well.

I mean, we even have a modding section on the official forums.

As someone who bought it for similar reasons (though I bought a hard copy), it's an okay story, and repetitive gameplay mechanics. Not a terrible RPG, but not top tier either.

Anybody had this issue or know how to fix this issue

most of the time I open a steam game and while im playing it, chrome browser opens up and the browser is mostly offscreen I have to drag it over to close. Its web pages I never even been to.

This only happens when i'm playing a steam game, when ever I exit out or hit atl + tap I can see the pages popped up.

If anybody know a fix for this let me know thanks.
