ShredsYouSay posted:Huh, those ubisoft titles are still gone in the UK. Ubisoft always do this with their bigger titles in the UK, and have done for years. They usually eventually come to Steam, but not until it's out on Uplay. Sometimes they come to Steam at the same time, sometimes it takes a month or so. Either way, you can't preorder any of their stuff on Steam in the UK. No idea why they do that here and nowhere else, but hey.

After watching that cinematic trailer - Overwatch: Welcome to the superhero world where everyone has guns but the guns don't actually do anything to anybody.

Quest For Glory II posted:It looks pretty cool and I'm glad people are trying other aesthetics than just NES graphics. There's a demo on Steam too. I gave it a try and it's a neat idea. Your basic mechanic is a motorized lance you can charge up, which lets you move faster, jump higher, and deal more damage. Pretty much anything you do besides walking and jumping will deplete the charge, but you can build it up pretty fast, and it also blocks enemy attacks so you don't get hit if you need to do it in combat. I might give it a shot once I beat some of the platformers I already have around.

GAME's whined a ton about steam hurting their sales and managed to wrangle Ubisoft into their ideas, likely though contractual means.

Motherfucker that Overwatch game looks fun as gently caress. I want to be the gundam dude and spam rockets everywhere. It's also Pixar as hell, love it. Actually, more like Dreamworks Animation maybe? Deakul fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Nov 7, 2014 |

6v6 combat, everything is an objective map (hi TF2), I'm really liking this concept.

Update on the coupon code I posted earlier. It looks like (by which I mean I know for a fact) it works with both Killer is Dead and Valkyria Chronicles http://www.ricedigital.co.uk/killer-is-dead-with-funstock-rice-coupon-code/ So that makes Killer is Dead £5.59 and Valkyria Chronicles £12.39. Not the cheapest I've seen either but they're pretty good prices for the moment I think? Be sure to comment on that article about how great the price and/or deal is and how cool I am because then I look good at work. e: I usually write funny stuff on that website if anyone cares.

I'd also appreciate a new freeware games thread 'cause I'm all over that poo poo. I have so many games that I've never played more than 2 hours but will never delete because I think I'll get around to them some day.

I finally got around to play some LEGO games and started out with LEGO Batman: The Videogame and had a blast. How would you rate the LEGO games, either compared to each other or within groups like First Ones, Open World etc.? Are there any DLCs that are essential for any of the games? This goes for all that are on sale now, but also the Disney ones, that are not (ever?) on sale: Batman Batman 2 The Hobbit Lord of the Rings Harry Potter Harry Potter: Years 5-7 Marvel Super Heroes The LEGO Movie Star Wars Saga Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures Indiana Jones 2 Pirates of the Caribbean

It's totally fine as the kids friendly difficulty level suits me fine. I was just under the impression that some were better than others story-wise and that at some point they changed from rather linear platformers to open world platformers.

Speaking of LEGO games since I know people have been talking about them, you can get all of the current Lego Marvel and Batman games (Except 3) for 15 bucks right now. http://www.bundlestars.com/all-bundles/lego-superheroes-bundle/

The ones that have original stories are the super hero ones and they're just standard comic book stuff.

Hopefully this doesn't have Blizzard's really slow pace of releasing things, especially something tailor after TF2. [edit] Thinking now, this is really the real successor to Super Monday Night Combat. Which I liked that game before the company behind it became really awful and tried to hide a bitcoin mining exe in the game. Rirse fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Nov 7, 2014 |

The Harry Potter years 4-7 game is quite obviously aimed at a much younger audience than The Hobbit, and it's also older, unless you really love Harry Potter or have a young child, I'd avoid it. It doesn't even have any narration in the cutscenes!

No hope they'll ever revert the San Andreas patch probably. Not only did they remove songs, they took out the 1080p option (worked fine before) and also old saves don't work. People are saying the controls are hosed too.

I got excited when they mentioned fixing controller support, but unfortunately it's PS2 styled, so no analog accelerator/brakes, it's all or nothing on the triggers.

They also pulled the PS2 classics version from PSN store, and are apparently planning to replace it with an HD release of the mobile port. At least I get to keep the old version intact in my downloads list.
