Nice! Have fun you two.See you peeps in a few days!
What kind of cover is that though? No name or anything.
I am so pretty sure it will not reach the original.
hold me!!! O_O
On hand I can understand people to see more but on the other hand, just let it go folks. Its time was back then and it's over now. Look for new stuff. It's very hard to be nostalgic and having connections to the original while still trying to have something interesting and fresh. Very hard to please that way.

But Pacaplus still hasn't been translated by Sekai Project, even though it was announced back in June of last year. At this rate, it'll end up bundled with a translation of its sequel, All Humans Will Become Alpacas.
Too bad that'll never happen ;_;
That's okay, there'll always be this photo of Saoirse sitting in front of the Saoirse ad.
I'd guess it's an alternative cover that's printed on the rear side. I'll probably be picking up the game myself tomorrow (Target AU is selling it for $69).
Edit: Uh, fixed.

Torn between giving Konami more of my money than I have to vs. still not having Ground Zeroes in my library.
Wait for 75% off or MGSV pre-order bonus.
Saoirse and Gaben, Steam's two great nobles.

The last third of Evoland is filler, really goes downhill towards the end.

Not sure I'd want to wait that long for the pre-order bonus, and it probably doesn't hit 75% until the Summer sale right?
hold me!!! O_O
Can't wait, I've been looking into watching all the original X files stuff from the beginning too. Gillian Anderson is still hawt

Alternative cover already included? Do many physical games have that? Cool. 69$ seems a bit pricey. How much USD/EUR does that convert to I wonder.
Quick Google: 49,70 € / 54,29 $ That's actually cheaper than here!
JaseC, you should go full console! Looks like that's the place Aussies actually gain something for a change

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.

Evoland gets old far too quickly to be worth considering.
Once it becomes a full-blown (bad) JRPG, the pacing becomes glacial and all of its charm evaporates.

Episode 3 of GoT seems to be out and the game is 25% off: http://steamcommunity.com/games/330840/announcements/detail/133193900423015107
A demo is available on Steam now.

I wouldn't say many but it's not unheard of.
As the philosopher Robert Downey Jr. once said, "You never go full console."
the Payday christmas album is so good. shame you need the game installed to download it

I beat the campaign at exactly 100 minutes. Yeah, there are also the tapes in the main menu that is almost as long as the campaign itself (possibly longer) and, yeah, you can go back into the main area to do other missions.
but for some folks, all they're interested in is the main campaign. And if that's all you're interested in then it's good to know that you might have yourself a short experience with Ground Zeroes.

I guess it is about time to get started with next month's threads recommendations. I'll chat with MMBossTones to see if he wants to continue doing them or not. I'm happy to step up - especially since MRORANGE posted his photoshop templates here.

At $10, i think a 2 hour base experience with the replay stuff is actually fine, that most will feel they'll get their money's worth.
Now, there's a whole 'nother discussion to be had about how they tried to get away with a $40 price at launch. They got shat on for that and that was well deserved.
But $10 is alright. No one should feel scammed at that price. Just be aware that the main game isn't that long.

Play any other 3D GTA while taking your glasses off.
You won't notice any difference.
Wait. The online will most likely be broken at launch and who knows if the game will even run well. It may need a few patches.
wait for a giveaway
I got it for £6 from Nuuvem, which was pretty much the sweet spot for what I thought would be a painfully short game. For whatever reason, I've actually spent about 13hrs messing with the game / modding it etc despite the story and main fun of it being only around 2hrs long max. I think I'd struggle to bite even at the sale price if I still thought of it as before, but knowing that I would find such use for it, £8 isn't bad. Still I doubt many people would have messed with it as long as I have
I have both of these gifted to me, and I think it is going to be amusing to see if either work. GTA V should technically work - except I don't have a true quad core. MKX requires a GTX 460 minimum, which my gt525m is way below. Yet I still haven't found a game to kill this old lappy yet.
Can't wait to be employed and building a better machine

- Click here
- Press F11
- Pretend like you just have a slow computer that's taking forever to load
- Wait until the Steam Summer Sale
You forgot to specify the year, because we all know it won't be out before this year's Summer Seal.
I was hoping for at least one unowned Steam game, but at least there are a handful of Greenlight titles.

Good point. And even if it is: given the recent decline in the general quality of the big Steam sales, we can expect to see this game as a daily deal with a 10-15% discount at best.
hold me!!! O_O
Now I need Night Dive to bring the X-Files adventure game to digital distribution.
Haha. I don't know what it is with those sort of games, but I can always find a way to entertain myself with them. I think we'll both be into triple digit hours with MGS V TPP
Something tells me the people at Rockstar never heard about the value of making a good first impression.
You see, I've been trying to catch up on all the big releases I've been missing out on over the last console generation or so, so I've been playing stuff like Just Cause 2, Red Faction: Guerrilla, Saints Row 3, and Arkham Asylum. All decent stuff so far (some moreso than others, but that's beside the point), so imagine my delight when GMG has the GTA 4 complete pack for a really good price last week. The game finally finishes downloading, and that's when the good times end.
First thing I see is some really amateurish-looking thing prompting me to log in to something called Social Club. Apparently it has something to do with the online, which I'm not really interested in at the moment, so I hit the "Play Offline" button, assuming that that'll, you know, let me play offline.
Moving on, I load the game and notice how oddly chunky the menus and logos look. Sure enough, the game defaulted to 800x600, and wouldn't let me change any of the graphics options, including resolution, to anything above the minimum. After a little research, apparently the game recognizes too much video memory as way too little, and was protecting me from changing the options. After doing the appropriate fix, I get back in and change the options, ready to start finally playing the game.
I get a message telling me that if I don't log in, I can't save the game.
Now, while it's not the end of the world to make some random account with my spam-magnet email account, it's still an annoying hoop to jump through in order to be able to save the damn game. I have seen some references online to being able to work around it, but I haven't looked into it more yet.
Still, with this kind of bullshit orbiting around GTA 4, it really makes me wonder why people are so excited for GTA 5.

I'm still broken up about NOLF.
Rockstar is one of those companies where you worry about the preservation of their games going forward. They are so poorly made and patched together with ludicrous DRM that leaves their future playability in doubt.
The sad part is they continue to make the same mistakes.
- Carry computer and monitor etc in backpack like contraption
- Carry daisy chained ethernet and power cables
- Dig into centre of the Earth (take sunglasses and maybe some water / food, I hear it's warm there)
- Live in all timezones and regions simultaneously
- Buy cheap GTA V via proxy or something
- Download / Play game
- Seek medical attention
Some day, my friend. Some day we'll get NOLF out of the shackles of corporate indifference and legal obfuscation.

If you think GTA is going to be any more than 10% off during the summer seal, you may be high.

Might bite on Evoland. Though apparently it's been $1.99 on the Humble Store. Dat 50 cents.
