You still need to play this
everyone does
That's awesome. BT's a true bro.
Finished Prey.
It's really damn good and very worthwhile. The way sidequests are implemented and impact your playthrough throughout the game is very well done. The story takes some time to get going tho, and only the ending really brigns something interesting to the table.
My face when people refer to it as "Bioshock in Space"

how long did it take you?
nice
20.5 Hours, tho two of those where spend searching an NPC without making any progress
Wait... when did Kingdom Come get delayed (for the 3rd time)?
Oh sorry, I stand corrected. It was delayed last year, till this year. How time flies.
Call of Duty: WWII probably won't be any cheaper than it is now on GMG before release right?
Have to set the file to read only.

what FOV do you normally use? it's defaulted to 85
Weird how it is resetting though, I changed mine to 90, which I normally use, and it hasn't shifted back at all..
I hadn't set mine to read only and it still saved it, well. it changed it from "90" to "90.00000"
wonder if it's an issue with a different aspect ratio or a higher fov change

Speaking of modbot, I still have an open key for Galactic Civilizations Ultimate Edition in this post
Boop.
edit: assuming modbot keeps those open. It's been a long time since I've used it and posted in these threads.

How is the controller support in Cities Skylines?
Finished Alice: Madness Returns.
I wonder if it was mandated that every chapter has to have at least one slide and at least one unique (and often poor) gimmick section.
As I recall, the main reason why I moved on from it some 3 years ago was that the chapters felt like they are just one thirds too long. Not surprisingly, they still feel like that.
I'm glad I finished it in the end, but it's a bit of a bummer since in parts it feels like it was so close to being really good, but now it just feels a bit eh.
As an aside, as I was watching the credits and saw the EA Partners name, it reminded me that EA Originals is a thing. I don't think I've seen anything about that Fe game since they revealed it. And apparently EA also signed Sea of Solitude for their thing at some point.

Steam Controller support is great. I cant imagine other controllers working well with skylines since Tropico 5 is horrible with my Xbox 360 controller.

If I remember correctly, EA Partners was closed down almost right after they got Alice 2 and Shadows of the Damned out, and not coincidentally those two games have a lot of similarities (same 2D segment, slides and geometry, etc) to where I do suspect that the EA manager (credited in both) more than made a few extra demands.
Alice 2 may also be the only game
It's kind of weird how they both exist to make a point about gamers before Gamergate was even a thing though. Whether that may have been an EA demand too cannot be deduced from the design, which can only tell what was transplanted between the two games. Maybe there is a great postmortem somewhere that can tell.
They're both flawed in different ways, but I got a lot from their story reasons to exist, if you will. Also in SotD, main character Garcia Hotspur not being able to read good -with skull demon cringing at every line he fucks up- was funny.
(too bad it's console only)

to have DLC that exists to prove a point.

Nvidia control panel is not showing up for me. Has anyone here run into that problem before? I never had issues with it but today drops me the NVIDIA Display Settings Are Not Available which Ive never seen before. I read something about uninstalling the driver and using some tools to fix itbut I wonder if its possible to do something else

Happened to me the other day I just did a clean install and it started showing up again. Very odd.

So, the Steam page for the sequel got approved, so I think that it's time for me to waste some more keys.
Maybe one of these keys is actually Pillars of Eternity.
One of these is not Pillars of Eternity. Because that's apparently not how Steam works anymore. You only have Gabe Newell to blame.

I'm about halfway through The Room Two. The music and effects make things seem a lot more unsettling than they really are. Press a button, and you get this Lost-esque violin swell...skreeeeee.....you're missing a light bulb. Oh. Turn this dial...skreeeee....WHAM! Oh God, what the fuck did I do now? Oh, a desk opened. It's a game where you're half-expecting a jump scare at every turn, but it doesn't seem to ever happen. Which I guess I'm thankful for, since I hate jumpscares, but it still keeps me on edge.

I haven't gotten too far into Prey thus far, right now I'm just a little past
-- but this game is looking like the real deal to me, it's just checking so many of my boxes. This is the game that I wanted BioShock to be all those years back but it was too dumb and too far up its own ass to be. This game, right now, is giving me renewed hope in what games of this style can be in the modern day.
the first time you enter microgravity
Are you using a value higher than 110?

Clean install of Windows or Nvidia drivers? >.>
that's depressing

My face when people refer to it as "Bioshock in Space"
But... isn't it Bioshock in space?
Don't know if it was posted but the last chapter of The Dream Machine is coming out next week!

Expeditions: Viking hardlocked during a load... or just took a super long time (I never gave it time to find out). And after my first camping adventure, too.
EV pls.
EV pls.
When you're installing the Nvidia drivers, select custom install and then tick the box for clean install.
What is the state of the bugs? I've read some troubling posts on the Codex.
I bought the game already, and I'm really looking forward to playing it. I've just been playing way too much Battle Brothers. Should I continue to wait for a patch or two?

all my loli wolf companions are so moe

I haven't had any hard crashes but I ran into an early scripting error where if you did the quest about
getting the wood for the longship
raid the tomb for valuables
Most of the problems seem like scripting errors.
Gotcha. It actually updated today and its working fine now

I'm one patch behind because 'cuz of GOG, but yeah maybe wait for another patch if you want a smooth experience. There's enough hardlocks and minor errors to mar the experience. It's not fundamentally broken or anything, but there's some very obvious rough edges in the UI and stability of the game that suggest it released before it was ready.
EV could end up to be quite a gem, provided it gets some more polish via patches. The foundation is definitely there. It's like Expeditions: Conquistador with a lot more ambition/budget behind it--like, it has solid writing and a lot of cool systems to back it up, plus dat setting.
