No, I'm dead serious. There isn't a game I disliked more than Toki Tori.

It's an innocuous cute little puzzle game. I mean, different strokes and all, but I can't see how it could possibly inspire such strong feelings.

Aside from being really bored when playing it, I hated the music and visuals. I'm not even sure why, but everything about it rubbed me the wrong way. To each their own, of course.

Actually, on this note, I recall there being some talk like...uh...half a year ago, in the old thread...regarding new Geforce recommendations. Is the GTX 760 still the way to go? Or was it the 780? The more RAM the better (within reason/cost)?

I bought a 760 for myself after my 465 died and it's worlds better. The card runs quieter, cooler and with less power draw. I can play with shadows in my games now!

This feels to be future-proofed for quite a number of years.

Except Sunrider is an actually pretty goddamned good strategy board game with a fun enough story about space pirates and revenge by any definition, not to mention that it's free. It's really nicely done.

I might theoretically be interested in a Gas Guzzlers 4-pack. Maybe. I dunno. I see there's a demo, I'll have to check that out first. I find it hard to believe that a game I've never heard of before right now is as good as Twisted Metal 2. But if there is, by God I want that game.

There is. Twisted Metal (2012) on PS3, but it sold like poo poo and now the franchise is dead. Really hope Carmageddon Reincarnation is completed soon. All they have to do is not gently caress up the original, that's it.

Has anyone here bought Life is Feudal? It must be insanely popular for a EA title to be a top 2 seller, especially at $40.

I've been playing it a bit.. it's got a rough grind like darkfall 1.0 did, and PvP isn't really working so all you can do is farm/craft. That said it's actually fairly fun.

Even in its current EA state, it feels like the original game with a fresh coat of paint and some sweet new powerups. I'm really optimistic.

Because the My Queue page already had some immediately after the update.

The 760 just had a price cut and is a pretty good deal now, everyone over in SH/SC are buying 970's right now however because it's an amazing deal.

$220 for the 760 is about as good as it gets to my knowledge, and amazing deal or no, a 970(?) sounds like absolute beastly overkill for somebody who doesn't care about playing at 4k levels of pixel.

I was able to sell watchdogs for a little bit, too, when I got it before it was overly known watchdogs was lovely.

Geezus, what the hell is going on with GreenManGaming today? I've tried to log in with my primary email, failed every time, then it tells me that email isn't registered with GMG. Then I try with my PayPal address, still nothing. Then I even try to re-register and then it tells me that my email is, in fact, already in use.

Is that bad news? Was my account hacked?

There's already mods for the console versions of the previous game that improve the crappier character models.

(Original model on left, mod on right)

I'd imagine they'll be a lot more prolific now that you won't need to painstakingly move stuff over to a modded console manually to test your work.

Yeah, I'm finding the overwhelmingly negative response in this thread kind of baffling. I mean, it's ugly and kind of a mess, but Steam's always been ugly and kind of a mess and I'm hard pressed to think of any storefronts that are actually good. Like, does anyone here actually make use of the recommendation sections on Amazon or wherever? It seems like a lot of people just really, really hate ever having to see stuff that they're not interested in.

I have destroyed more of your kind than I can count.



After fiddling with it a bit more, there doesn't actually seem to be that many options for customizing the storefront. I think the biggest change here might just be the messaging. The old storefront said "Here is popular game X". The new storefront says "Based on some unspecified bullshit, we think you want popular game X".

I'm not sure why the question mark after 970 - unless I made a grammatical error?

It's on the high end for 1920*1080. On a pure performance/price curve is better value than a 760 (fps/$) right now. Whether you care enough about turning more options up or on or not is a personal evaluation. Personally I have one on the way for 2560*1440, where some people will argue it's not actually good enough. And for most people it is way too weak for 4k still.
