I don't understand the Tetris piece line puzzles in The Witness although I thought I did.
also don't understand the black stars.
Having fun with it, I'm 130 puzzles down and keeping on truckin'.
Are you supposed to make the shapes solely with he lines? What's with the slanted ones? There a puzzle in the treehouse with a single block Tetris piece in the middle that's impossible to isolate.
Again at the treehouse, there's a puzzle with a single black star that you can't pair up with anything. No combination seems to work.

Had my yearly dose of uplay with Far Cry 3
i don't discriminate digital services!
but it has a beanie dude just like that new infamous game
and with guuuns
Wh... why does it bother you so much? No one really cares. Adding achievements is one thing, but I don't see anyone getting on your case about removing it. Don't see the point of doing that, though.
Mostly because I don't think I deserve the achievement, since for the playfire reward I used a scenario in game that someone had made to get said achievement. Also since I'm never going to play the game I'm always stuck with a 5% completion rate on it. Of course not a huge issue but since I've thought about it several times for a year seems I just should do it.XD

I have a Quick Look of Golf with Friends up.
Thumbs up from me. Getting an online game going is super simple and worked without a hitch. Right now there isn't a whole bunch of content, but I def recommend it when the game gets out of early access. As it is right now, the game is solid and a lot of fun.
Note: I prefer arcade-y golf games over simgolf games.

I wrote a bunch of stuff, but decided that instead of going into super detail about what I disliked about Uncharted 2 in a Steam thread that I would reduce it to a comparison of simplified overall plot for the two games:
I vastly prefer TR2013's plot where
Lara is shipwrecked by an angry spirit and fights off a cult while learning to survive and find a way off the island
my best friend is a douche who tricked me into stealing some artifact/treasure so we could open a portal to another dimension where humans have gone to get addicted to steroids and became hulking blue smurfs with roid rage

Yeah uncharted 2 still sounds way better.
It kind is to me too. The beta is really short and doesn't offer a lot of content. Skills, perks and base building is locked. Crafting is locked so all the optional stuff you do gives you crafting materials which are useless. Dark Zone is what I expected to happen Day 30 in and happened 5 hours in with people already camping spawn points and extraction points. Pretty game but follows Ubi open world game design with tons of stuff on the map. You run along mostly empty screens but it sure is great looking.
I would if I'm like batman
just look at that avatar
he looks just like James Gordon
Zero interested in the game (but I'm very curious about Snowdrop engine).
I've used SAM to remove achievements, but I'm not sure if it will work for you since you've already synced it up on the server side.

Good day SteamGAF, today's my birthday so I decided to treat myself with some games.
Anyway, a little raffle...
Happy birthday!
She seems to get melee'd by invisible RE characters a lot. Like through walls and when people are talking or when she's walking down stairs.
i kinda don't see in these screenshots what's so mindblowing about tomb raider
maybe it's better in motion but it just looks like a regular hi-res game to me?
why would that be surprising?

music was also pretty good tbhhappy birthday
everyone who don't already own Remember Me should enter the raffle if just for the pretty awesome environment design, game looks hella good visually especially for a last gen game, just fails at everything else but they aren't that bad.

Anyone got any hints for Sunless Sea? I feel so lost playing this 
At least UC2 had memorable and likable characters
TR has a psychopath and an assortment of cannon fodder
And you'll hate RotTR cos it's basically a bad knock off of UC2's plot XD

That's their solution to displaying to the player what is (and is not) interactive. While it's better than the old giant floating arrows that used to point and scream "HERE IDIOT, COME OVER HERE" tthat was frequently used in many older games it's still not as artful as what Naughty Dog does with light, color and camera framing/positioning.
game looks nice and performs well, gameplay wise it's like a typical tps wrapped around a borderlands "rpg" design with some ubi open world stuff
but yeah the game looks hella good
I didn't like the music, a lot of people do tho

i liked it in the context of the game, not my kind of music either

No?
Lots of people use SAM for that. I remember seeing it talked about with regards to F:NV... people getting all achievements then using SAM to reset them all and play again.
In general, the concept of "cheating" with SAM (from my perspective at least), is unlocking achievements you didn't earn legitimately. Removing achievements, fixing glitched achievements, syncing achievements with another platform? I don't personally consider any of that "cheating".

I wouldn't agree with that. Uncharted 2 had the same 3 "memorable and likeable characters" that the other console versions had (Drake, Sully, Elena) and added a bunch of annoying/throwaway characters in the mix which only really one of made a return appearance and it was in a pretty minor role.
As far as RotTR? As long as it keeps the gameplay feel/mechanics of the first and has a decent method of conveying the story without the end part of Uncharted 2, I'll be fine with it. And it will probably be better than Uncharted 2 as well.
Anyway...
anybody tried the HORI RAP Hayabusa Silent? Is it really quiet or is it just the name?
If there is such a think as "silent", I would think that you could buy and/or mod that into your existing sticks.
I'll agree with the cliffhanger bit... I really didn't like that part of it considering that the books haven't really ventured into anything of that sort at this time. The closest being Bran and his arc, but still, that's far from having any actual implications such as the ending here did.
I felt there was a balance to the characters where there were those I couldn't stand and secretly hoped would die, those I grew to like and wanted to survive/succeed/etc. and I thought they did a good job with the plotting and suspicions and all of those aspects that came over from the books.
Amazing that you've managed to write all that without mentioning "Dragon's Dogma" even once
Fiiiinnneee.... fixed.
This makes me wan to play it only that much more.
I sense the presence of an AMD user
Noted.
I loved Chun-Li's dress outfit in USF4, so it's no surprise it's my favorite here. I'll definitely be rocking that if/when I put time into Chun next month.

Bless your soul Dragon Punch for quoting Black Dynamite in that Hilary Clinton/NY Times thread.
Because someone told me to furghetabaht it and play The Witness instead.
To be honest though I've seen enough so far to leave a decent impression that I'll probably grab a cheapo copy via an Nvidia promo at launch (99.99% chance this is getting bundled with new GPUs). Also there's fuck all to do in the beta that if the game does turn out to be Destiny 2.0 in regards to lack of content with enough variation, then I'd rather not blow throw 20% of the full game before it's out like everyone did in Destiny's beta.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Anyone got any hints for Sunless Sea? I feel so lost playing this
I didn't really get very far in it, but the main way you get fuel and cash for supplies is by turning in Port Reports to the admiralty back at Fallen London. You get those for each location you visit, and you can get one each time you visit and turn it in. Except for Station 3?
The map is randomized, but each location is in relatively the same spot. Vanderbright is north of FL, the Iron Republic is South, Hunter's Island is a tiny ways east. Everything has a generalized location, probably within a certain grid range.
The first easy-ish quests are to bring a Tomb Colonist to Vanderbright, and to get Strategic Intelligence for the admiralty. Your starting officer will also have a desire if you talk to them and you'll get a decent reward for fulfilling it. The easiest one I ran into was the Shady Cook for the Campaign/Irons background, where you just had to bring him to the prison in the Sea of Lillies which isn't too far to the east. Other than that, it's kind of a crapshoot what quests will apparently pop for you? I got a really good one for...Uhh. Monster Santa? Mister Sacks, I think? But it never showed up again afterwards.
Not to discourage you, but;
I'm not sure I'd really recommend Sunless Sea. It's so slow, and frankly tedious. I think it's aiming for a gradually building dread, which it occasionally accomplishes. But most of the time it's just sailing through empty sea, slowly. I was hoping it would actually be a change of pace from the browser game, which also deliberately drip feeds you content. Which is understandable for a browser game, but a lot less so for a stand alone title. I wanted them to go in the exact opposite direction of Fallen London and have a discrete narrative with a beginning, middle, and end. With developed characters and locations and actual role playing. But it's basically nothing but flavor text, and a super simple ship mechanic that didn't really seem to improve with buying shiny new upgrades. I'm not really sure who it's for except for hardcore fans of the browser game, which doesn't seem like a great way to grow your audience.
