Kind of odd timing on the Fallout sale, they're usually part of the Halloween sale, I assume they either won't be included this year or won't be any cheaper than they are now or there's going to be some refunds.

Some people were talking about Unity engine a few pages ago.
Dreamfall Chapters are having some issues porting from Unity 4 to Unity 5. Sounds like 5.2.2 is buggy.


Anyone already got the X1 wireless adapter already? Amazon.de is telling me it's not available, shows no price anymore and they haven't shipped.

No sign of it here in Finland. We don't have local amazon, but couple local retailers are still selling it and listing the release date as either 3rd of November or 26th of October. I noticed that Finnish xbox.com also doesn't have it on their accessories page yet. Keeping in mind that Microsoft put Finland in the tier 2 who got the console almost a year later, I'm kind of little worried actually that Finland's going to get fucked again.

:\

The steam app on iOS just got a huge update, adds new features based on their responsive web beta.

Wanted to post link but on mobile
 

I've always thought you were an alright guy.
This shoots you past amazing and into bloody fucking saint territory.

I understand your frustration, but as the "victim" of one of your previous non-answers haha, I have to say that you doing that only shits up the thread just as much, if not more. Just some food for thought, man. No offense intended (I enjoy your posts in general).

That's the point. ;)
 
3/4's of the way through Saints Row IV. Cleared all of the openworld activities, collected almost every collectible and just have campaign and DLC missions left to complete. SRIV has been such a fun ride. Kinda worried about what I'll play after I burn through this and Gat Out Of Hell.

Yeah, it was happening to me for awhile today. A little bit yesterday.

Edit: And now it's happening again.

This is happening to me now. I'm on the store and the client itself seems to see me as logged in, but the discovery queue tells me to Sign In, and randomly the store turns into a sign in page.

Doesn't look like a widespread problem but it's still affecting others, I'll take some comfort in that, I guess.

What's New in Version 2.0.0
Added Community Market, Trading, Game Hubs, Discussions, and more to the app. The profile views have been updated with showcases, badges, and more. The Store views have also been updated with new personalization features and user reviews. The new Support site can also be accessed from the app for help with your Steam account and games.
Added a new confirmations feature for confirming trades and market activity.

I checked to see if the activity feed would load and it totally did. :O

a photo from history , taken from the official playstation magazine in saudi arabia


nothing important to translate here , peter lowton was just praising the sales of EA games in the area ( even most of the games in that time was pirated version that can be sold for $3 )

peter lowton the sales manger of electronics art was talking about games localization in arabic , in 1998

17 years later , EA finally released FIFA game that has Arabic language

I'm level 26 on the great new uplay club, how do you'll compare on the hotest new social destination for PC gamers?

how do I check? the only uplay thing I play is rocksmith and that just has me log into my uplay account that I made for ass crud goodies on the consoles

22, but I don't think uplay has ever really grabbed all my 360 data for some reason. Just you wait until I start replaying all AC games on PC.


I should look into the whole Steam account linking thing, I have like 2 uplay friends.
And the friend activity feed is just Dr Dogg doing his things.
I don't even know who the other person is.

Great updates for the Steam Controller

UPDATE:

  • Added support for custom controller configurations for Desktop mode
    [*]Added options to configure the suggestion modes of the dualtouch keyboard
    [*]Added Legacy configuration option for games with In Game Actions, allowing users to access advanced settings.


This.

Cannot wait for the submarine expansion....

Yeah, looking forward to that so much. A great plus of grabbing the game before its early access period ended, is getting the expansion for free!

Lol Assassin's Creed is a month after console versions.

Yet more reasons for me not to pay attention to another Assassin's Creed, let alone more uplay fun

And a week after Fallout 4, pretty much guaranteed I don't get Syndicate until next summer sale.

Why would anyone play a Bethesda game on launch? Why would you do that to yourself?


I'll rather wait for at least a handful of patches and two handfuls of mods.

Your hidden comment almost made me joke on my drink.

Anyway, Bethesda games just scratch a certain itch for me. Regardless of how bug and issue prone they are, they're one of the few games I can sink hundreds of hours into exploring and screwing around, sometimes not even completing the main quest. I've got hundreds of hours in Skyrim (not all counted, sadly) and I've never even beaten the main quest line, which can be done in a few hours. So I don't mind playing them day 1, issues and all. Did it for Oblivion, Fallout 3, Skyrim and will do it again for Fallout 4.

Makes going back months later with mods and expansions that much better to see how it's been improved.
 
GMG Credits will expire on November 24th since a new system is coming based on reviews and other stuff.
Any hidden gem I can get with less than 3 bucks?

If you rank posters in this thread on most likely to buy Assassin's Creed games, hell rank most likely to buy UniSoft games, I am probably dead last.

That would explain my delay.

I think the new South Park game will be the only Ubi game to get a purchase from me despite the uplay integration.
 
Lazy man's repost. Follow the quote to find your reward, your eternal reward
Thanks for Rebel Galaxy, yo.

The only games I have from Ubi are Rayman Legends and M&MX. Nothing else they make seems even remotely interesting.

Legends is amazing though.
 
I finally finished Black Flag last night, after owning it launch day for PS4 and getting around 60% then restarting last year on PC. I really enjoyed it, I got a free copy of Unity when I bought a hard drive last year, but I think I'll skip that and just wait for Syndicate since it seems to be getting great reviews. I would like to try Rouge but I wish it was on sale... it seems weird that it's not, right?
 
That Deus Ex trailer made me want to replay Human Revolution. Is the Director's Cut worth it if I already played through both the main game and the dlc?
 
i mean, yes and no. it's kind of annoying to have to have this discussion in spoilertags, but

basically i think it's time to stop thinking these games in terms of "how much your decisions matter to the ending". like, i don't think expecting alpha protocol levels of reactivity is unreasonable, but i also think it's ok if a game overrides your decisions when it provides a good enough reason. like, your choices were made, being incapable to save kate or feeling like i was gonna get victoria killed affected me in that moment, even if kate is magically alive at the end or whatever it doesn't really mean that i lost what i felt, and since the whole chloe thing is presented in a way that's believable and emotional and works within the rules of the story, i'm ok with forgiving that. you kind of "knew" it could come to this, because it's a time travel story and resets are part of time travel. it just works. i don't disagree that it would be cooler if your choices 'stuck', but it's not like i needed the fallout ending sildes for this game

similarly in the walking dead, even if i don't think that game's very good, some of the overriding makes sense within the context of the game. it's a zombie apocalypse, of course some of the people you think you're saving will end up dead regardless.

in comparison me3 really botched everything about how it presented those overriding choices, the rgb endings were introduced like 5 minutes before you get to make the decision and make no sense when put next to the rest of the series and what it was building up to. and the writing was nonsensical garbage.

so yeah, i know what you mean, but i think it's important to make the distinction of why lis should get away with it and why me3 shouldn't.

anyways, i don't tend to replay games, but i might goof around for the extra screenshots, at least to hang out in that world a little bit more
It's not exactly just the lack of choice that I dislike, I personally am fine with The Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands,
the fifth episode of these two moved the plot forward, while they don't have "ending slides", even though your choices weren't showed, the player knows the choices took place and did have a influence to characters in that universe.
What LiS did is
a full reset, I don't like the idea of coming so far for nothing, that's why I didn't even entertain the idea of sacrificing Chloe, but what I got is still depressing as fuck. #baebeforebay
