STEAM | April 2016 - HL3 releasing today. Left 4 Dead 3 and Persona 5 this summer

What's everyone looking forward to playing this weekend?

I was just day dreaming about some Dark Souls III when I get home, but then I remembered we have a double date tonight. Pushing my ETS (Estimated Time to Souls) back until tomorrow.
Also will continue to slowly optimize my mega-factorio factory. Seriously, this thing produced around 2000 iron plates per minute. I need to go through and tweak throughputs in certain sections as well as increasing my inputs of resources (ore/copper/oil).

I've had off all week so I've been working on The Walking Dead Season 1 & 2. My saves didn't carry over from Mac to PC when I got my gaming PC so I had to play through Season 1 for the third time to finish off wherever I was in Season 2. One more episode of Season 2 to go.

What class and build are you running in this Souls title?

I basically always do a Str/Faith build on my first play through of Souls with a massive weapon. I actually switched over to a quality build with a faster weapon because the late game enemies and bosses have limited windows for attacks.

Stranger of Sword City seems like it has two different art styles, when I was looking up gameplay. Is this something you can toggle or just a different version of the game?

I planned to rock a Str build, but haven't moved off the fire Uchi. I may respec soon to get those points off str/dex and cap out End/Vig/Luck instead.

I have found that this entry seems to be more skills focused than equipment. Probably since you can't level up armor as you could previously.

Fuck the Silver Knights too.

You can customize character portriats.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet~



IIRC it's a RPG like Eliminage or Wizardry.

Umh, I don't know. How much consistent is the VN part?
Because I don't like VN, so I wouldn't pass on spending hours reading text on static screen and than doing a couple of fights.
I never played Wizardry, so I don't know how the gameplay is.

Also new Groupee bundle:

the Shivah is really good, one of the best Wadjet Eye titles.

The latest version of Sonar came out on Steam today. If you had a previous version registered with Cakewalk, check your email for an upgrade code.

It looks like it has a shiny new tool or two like Rapture Session/Pro.

I actually got through that part without dying somehow. Just sprinted so they were constantly missing their shots, then singled one out where the other ones couldn't fire.

The part just after that is mind blowing for any huge Souls fan.

Will this work still if I didn't register it before?

If you can mix&match the art-style in Stranger of Sword City instead of just toggling between the two types, it's gonna be great.

Steam has been so weird the past 1-2 weeks. Every time I open up Steam from the taskbar, it seems like the loading makes the client freeze for 2-3 seconds. Very annyoing.

My experience was similar, but I got kebob'ed by the last guy. Dick. I'm going to bring more arrows next time. ETS is at about 6 hours for now.

can't see from here, is that the shivah remake?

i played the original not long ago and it is pretty good, would be nice to play the remake too

yea i didn't have much trouble with the archers either. if you played dark souls 1 you know what to do, just take a deep breath and run for it

i died a couple times cos i wanted to parry them like in dks1 but the timing here's a bit different so that was really throwing me off lol

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.
Seeing as we're nearing the end of the month, I hope you all have coordinated with MRORANGE and got recommendations in for next month's thread.

I picked up 5 new tables for Pinball FX 2, probably end up playing them.

I'm hooked on the Aliens table at the moment.

For you.
I'm not sure. I had "Sonar (2015)" in my library and installed + ran it to register a few days back. The email code showed up today. The forum / Cakewalk support people could probably help.
Thanks, will check it out when the download is done . i have the Platinum version and it would nice if I could get the bewest version for free.

I honestly thought that was a fake name for the giveaway looking at that list. But it appears that steam includes everything nowadays.

If you bought / renewed it in the last 12 months I -think- you'll get the update for free. Just make sure to run and register once it downloads.

If it's not automatic, talk to Cakewalk support since they seem reasonably helpful.

Why does he wear the mask!?

Bought it on December so seems I should be fine. Nice.
 
I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this, as it's technically related to Origin, but it seemed like something people in this thread would be familiar with.

When you buy something through Green Man Gaming, do you usually get your key early enough to preload the game beforehand?

I'm superhyped for Mirror's Edge Catalyst and want to play it ASAP. Obviously, it costs $60 on Origin outright, but I can preorder it on Green Man Gaming for just $45. Mirror's Edge is a really special game to me, so I actually think it might be worth paying the extra $15 in order to make sure I can preload, but I don't want to waste money pointlessly either.

Just wrapped up Dark Souls 3 so I'll be starting Danganronpa 2. And I need to play the Witcher 3 DLC before the next one hits. Overwatch, Doom and these games will keep me busy for all of May.

There's no way to know for sure when GMG will send out keys. It could be anywhere between 2 days in advance to 2 days after release. If you don't mind using a VPN, you can pick up the game for $40 in the Mexican Origin store and you'll definitely be able to preload the game if they give the option.
