Did they bother to pack the scripts and "art" "assets" in RPA files this time? I remember hearing with the Desura demo they didn't bother to pack or encrypt anything and you could just read through the entire existing game via the RPY scripts.

It was only on sale for 24 hours, and as far as I can tell I never got an email from the humble bundle people like I do for literally every single big bundle, weekly bundle and android bundle ad infinitum. Probably most of the people that buy humble bundles never even saw the sale, just the weirdos that check it constantly or read game forum steam threads.

I remember hearing with the Desura demo they didn't bother to pack or encrypt anything and you could just read through the entire existing game via the RPY scripts. I don't know about the demo but yes, just like every other build of the game I've had access to, the assets are raw .rpy (so, text files), .pngs for all the graphics, and .mp3s. I've done some simple mods to really egregious poo poo in the build just to make it more fun to play. One exceedingly awful song has been replaced with a disco cover of the Star Trek theme. Made the big pop idol scene a lot more fun. Another character is probably going to be turned into George Costanza just because their art is so atrocious. Fun fact: for the first two I saw they just had a file in the game install labeled "Desura Tier 3 keys" with a lot of backer names/emails kicking around in there. A lot of people with "chocobo" email names paid a lot of money for this game!

I'm quite pleasantly surprised with how much I'm enjoying Far Cry 3 so far, though just like the Assassin's Creed games it's just a bit too packed with various different items to collect. You need to strike a fine balance with these things and I always feel like Ubisoft's games seem to just go a bit too overboard in that regard. Sneaking around an enemy stronghold and taking them out one by one without being spotted was pretty drat satisfying too. The dogs knew where I was but they didn't let them out of the cage... they're my dogs now

I still say Far Cry 3 blows in comparison to Far Cry 2. That did a much better job of making the point Far Cry 3 wants to make without forcing it down your throat. There's a heightened realism mod which I highly recommend... makes taking out outposts incredibly dangerous if you don't go prepared. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gMEsdwqLtM Rush Limbo fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Sep 8, 2014 |

I know it's hardly a unique complaint, but Farcry 2's forever respawning checkpoints and enemies who instantly HATED YOU FOREVER and chased you down across half the map when you were just trying to get from point a to b made playing the game an exercise in frustration. Which is a drat shame because it looked great, and driving roughly through the jungle holding a map in one hand was a blast.

You need to subscribe individually to each bundle type (main, books, mobile, weekly etc.) in order to get an email. Maybe that's why you didn't see it.

The respawning outposts are hardcoded in the engine, but Dylan's mod makes the enemies not chase you for anywhere near as long in an effort to make them more bearable.

I finally gave Mirrors Edge a real chance yesterday after owning it for several years. I'm a little bit past the half way point and the games pretty fun! It took me about an hour to warm up to it and it still occasionally pisses me off with grabbing ledges and pipes not working as well as it should, but aside from that it's neat. So far there doesn't seem to be much variety in the levels, it's been jumping around on roof tops and then running through building interiors. The only gripe I really have is some times it's not clear where I should be going and when I press the objective button Faith turns in that direction instead of the game just making her head turn. It's caused me to stumble off roof tops or smack into a wall and lose momentum several times. Overall I'm enjoying the game and am curious to see how the story pans out.

Last page, but The 39 Steps is essentially what you are describing here.

I would like Far Cry 3 about a trillion times more if it had quicksave. In fact, that goes for every game. Quicksave is loving awesome and it's absence from modern games makes me very sad.

New Indiegala weekly bundle for $1.89. Five Nights at Freddy's (STEAM) Memories of a Vagabond (STEAM) Stonerid (STEAM) Eschalon: Book I (STEAM) Eschalon: Book II (STEAM) Me and PostApocalypse 2: Scraping (DESURA) Really nice of them to put Eschalon Book I&II in it since the third game was in a bundle recently.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Why does a genre need a point that everything must adhere to? That sounds really boring and lovely. I have started reading Umineko recently and it's actually kind of rad even though there are no choices. It's as good as many actual mystery novels but with art and (surprisingly good) music. If someone wants to make something like this, I see nothing wrong with that.
