I personally find Dark Souls 3 to be a disappointment in terms of lack on replayability, no hard mode covenant, no enemy placement changes for NG+, reliance on Dark Souls 1 nostalgia, no invasions or friendly summoning in areas where you've beaten the boss, no PVP arena. Its just overall missing a lot of the things that kept me playing Dark Souls 2 for 781 hours, which is a damn shame because I like it more than the first game because of the boss fights.
yeah that's fair, for me the mp portion of the game has always been more of a bonus so even if i enjoyed it more in dks2 i'm fine with the tradeoff i got in 3

replayability sure is something i'm annoyed about, ng+ seems to be exactly the same so between that and my controller disconnecting if i make sudden moves for the first time in the souls series i didn't feel super compelled to go for ng+ it

but i think dks2 is underrated for sure

that moment you want to try out the shield lady and your team has 3 supports >_>

and none of them change so we lost of course lol
 
Is it just me or does this guy just literally spaz out on his controller buttons? That random barrel-roll into the boss was just retarded.

Or is that how you fight that boss?
Rolling directly into a boss/enemy is actually a good tactic if you know what to do next. The invisibility frames make it a safe task when timed well.

I need to find a dps I like for these situtions. All the characters I like or think ill like are defensive (in theory) :(

You don't have to be into it, but it's a very well liked game so I don't really know if you're trying to say something or just had to tell someone that it didn't interest you.

I would have bought the humble monthly rather than RL separate if I knew about it.
But yeah not throwing 12 a month for a random assortment of games still. At a least GWG and PS+ are mandatory if you want to play online, so the games are a "bonus". And it's also cheaper.

oh, sorry if I sounded that way, didn't even check the game's Steam page, it's just that, from the screenshots it seems to be full of gore and graphic violence, and I can't stomach that :p

Is there any chance rockstar would put back gta 2 ? i miss that game i got the gta games individually on steam and missed out on the collection.

I checked their site and there is some odd timer going on , does it mean anything ? wrote in a mail asking if there will be a gta 2 re-release on steam no reply....

Nope, it's just old leftover.

Basically it should show time in two weeks, but it's broken (date doesn't show) and it messes up timezone, too.

Yeah, owning main game makes it too risky for me. But for both Mad Max and Rocket League $12 is good price. Other games would be just an extra.

never a bad time to play tracer love

I was going to say this. At first, I thought Tracer was just too much glass for me. And then I learned how to effectively use Recall. She's bad to the fucking bone.

And I'm really liking D.Va a lot for some reason. Her defense is great if you time it right. Don't expect it to be a meatshield; it's more like a buy you a few seconds shield. The Boosters are some of the best map traversal I've experienced in the game. Other than that, play her from cover. And don't be afraid to hang out outside of the mech; her mid-range gun holds its own.

Another idea for a DPS character is to play Junkrat offensively. Nade spam like you used to do with the Demoman. Steel Trap and run when you're getting rushed.

The ninja guy always seems to wreck me, though. It doesn't matter who I play.

Ah, gotcha. After responding the thought that maybe you were just not into horror crossed my mind.

The timer's always been like that; the tagline/pitch for GTA2 was 'three weeks into the future'... It's been borked for years.

Was gonna say GTA 1 and 2 were free on their website but it appears they're not anymore? I guess the only way to get them is to grab an old GTA complete pack steam gift from someone else. I imagine they're going to want to charge you pretty penny for it.

So far there has only been one humble monthly that I would have been slightly interested and I ended up buying the two games I wanted from someone in the BST thread for less than $12.

Next month the early unlock is Rocket League which I already own.

Pretty much don't think I'll ever sign up for this service, just not for me

Rocket League at Humble Monthly? For fuck sake, I only bought it last week on Steam for €12 :( I'm about to make a dick move, I've requested a refund but I don't really expect to get it, haha. It's still less than 2 weeks, but I've already clocked 23 hours. And ~15 of which were during the free weekend, but that'd still make 8 hours without the free weekend. And that's probably too much for them honour it.

Oh well, there's no harm in trying, right?

From what I can tell, doesn't look like you can get GTA 1 & 2 at all now, unless you already own them from the older collection that was on Steam, or when they used to give it out for free. Seems both the Steam and free version from Rockstar went away at the same time. Perhaps music licencing issues?

and somehow without really realizing it we all bought into the dark dystopian drm future

how can you tell the range on the Symetria sentries? im not sure where to put them, im trying just where they would be in LOS but i donmt know the range

i don't think you can tell, range isn't too long, like it won't reach from one end of a medium sized room to the other. i don't like symmetra much, she's boring, but i try to place turrets in doorways and places where you have to turn around to see them, so at least they waste some time looking for them


gross

That's a dick move. You had fun and you still want to refund the game? What the fuck.
