Ryuga Death posted:How's the newest Wolfenstein game? I'm waiting for a bigger discount on the retail version so I don't have to download all 40 gigs of the game, but just curious about general impressions. I finished it a couple of days ago and had lots of fun playing it. It's a really linear, but extremely pretty game, good story and characters for an FPS, being able to dual-wield almost all weapons is really satisfying. Imagine a set-piece campaign like CoD single player, but actually fun. Of course it's not perfect, but had I bought it at full price, I still wouldn't have felt cheated.

Pros, it's blazing fast compared to the old one, cons, using a fair bit more resources than before. If this means internal flash like in Chrome, I can finally uninstall Adobe's stand alone flash player.

Perhaps it only generates new recommendations after you have made X number of Wishlist/Not Interested marks? No one here really knows, and it might just be that they only collect data right now and implement a real recommendation system later.

Unlucky7 posted:Can someone explain the Wolfenstein New Order tech to me? I month ago I tried upgrading my GTX 560Ti to a 760. Now, the 560 Ti is a great little card, but in that game it struggled whenever there was a battle in a wide open space. Upgrading the video card did not help at all. I was disappointed at the time, as that was kinda my frame of reference, so I decided to return it. I ran it perfectly fine on a GTX 560ti too, but with an i7 860 @ 2.80 GHz with 8 GB RAM. I never noticed any lag and just ran it with whatever settings the game suggested. iuvian posted:The i7 920 @ 2.66 GHz is really ancient, it was released in 2008. It wouldn't surprise me if it choked during a few scenes in New Order that hit the CPU. Yeah, a bit of choking here and there could probably happen, but as far as I can read from this wiki article, there's really not that big of a difference between the 8xx and 9xx series.

I'm perfectly fine with people being credited for the game they have been a part of, but not being able to skip a 30-40 minute credit roll is just stupid and makes no sense at all. Why do I need to watch who was the personal assistant for the localization manager in Hungary, the junior accountant at Ubisoft HQ or see the names of the countless individuals who came from 3rd party tool makers, not to mention the endless list of names of babies being born during production. Make it completely skippable, add a FF and RW for when voice actors and music credits or place the full credits in the Extras section and only have leads from the primary team in the main credits. No HR department are going to play through a game to watch and confirm your CV from each game anyway.

Pierzak posted:Wait, so it's actually unskippable as in "cannot exit to main menu/save new game+", not only for maniacs who want a special achievement for watching a post-credits cameo? Yeah, at least they could throw in a "A spent 30 minutes watching the credits and all I got was this crappy achievement" achievement like some games do. Some of the games do let you exit to menu, but I believe it was on oth the earlier AC games that didn't have a savepoint until after the credits had shown, so if you wanted to try and 100% the game, you'd have to play the endgame again, watch the full credits and only then were you allowed to roam around.

Malek posted:And so on. Either the dev is lying or groupees jumped the gun on them. Either way, the dev should have requested a full written contract (e-mail or not) before agreeing just verbally and saying "OK." I think you skipped over some: http://steamcommunity.com/app/327260/discussions/0/619569340994222690/#c619569341040776726 quote:I have forwarded you the email from Christian where he asked specifically if you were ok with providing Steam keys and the reply was yes. If you misunderstood, well ok, but to suggest we did something wrong here is simply unfair. That said, we appreciate you agreeing to provide Steam keys to supporters of the bundle and the game. http://steamcommunity.com/app/327260/discussions/0/619569340994222690/#c619569341040776726 Groupees posted:It's tough for everyone, and we all make mistakes. If you make a mistake, own it and don't put it on others. That's not right. You were told about the banner, specifically, and you said that was fine and agreed to give Steam keys. That's all in emails. Also, post promotion, we contacted you multiple times about the Steam issue and you never replied to any of the emails, never suggested you did not understand or attempt to address this, rather you simply ignored the emails. And now, in a public forum, you post this nonsense, intimating that we did something wrong here when in fact we did no such thing. Sorry, but that's not ok. Our community supported you, and whether you understand it or not, your presence on Steam is a huge opportunity over time for which you should be grateful and focusing on that. I would strongly encourage you to discontinue replying in the manner that you have. It's unfair, unseemly and unproductive. Focus your energies on your game and future games. That's what everyone would like to see. Seems like they were actually asked if they wanted to give Steam keys.

Malek posted:Also, on that argument, if Groupees sent him E-Mails asking and received no response, isn't it presumptuous of Groupees to think it implies "yes" at no response? Anyway, it seems like he gave in and wants to fix the situation now, which I believe is the only way to put out the fire. He might even get some goodwill back if he sorts it out fast. I'm still amazed at how many indie developers are messing up when it comes to bundles and keys. It's as if they live in a bubble and don't look at anything else but their game and do a bit research first. At least network around and talk to other indie devs about their experiences. I guess they are just blinded by the fact that if they can get on Steam, they'll be "counting their stacks of money" as someone famously said.

Lonely Rolling Star posted:So I just received a completely random Steam key for The Road Redemption from the devs, on account that I seem like an influential Steam account holder. Which does make me worry that things aren't going well on their end of development that they have to ask individual users for goodwill and playtime. But then again, I do know I've gotten at least 20 people to play Payday 2, so maybe there is some merit to that. I actually thought the game might have been out of early access, on account that I don't even want to wade through the poo poo that is Steam's front page anymore, but it isn't. Then the rep and I had a nice ranty conversation about the Steam front page. I got a friend request too, and since it wasn't one of those russian hidden-profile people, and you a friend of his too, I accepted it and chatted him up. I asked politely what he wanted, if there was something I could help him with and he didn't answer or anything so I just removed him again. I could have had a free game for my backlog...

Zombie Samurai posted:These weeklong deals are a god damned atrocity, and this is coming from someone who looks forward to them every Monday. Instead of following the games like Pinball FX2 does, where the main program is free, but basically useless, and all content is done via DLCs, the Influent developers made it so the first language is attached to the main program and you then have to buy the rest as DLCs. Pretty drat stupid, and I can't even defend it as multiplatform issue, as both Android and iOS has in-app purchases for this exact thing.

Xaris posted:Anyone ever get into a funk where you have a bunch of stuff that you could play, but just don't really feel like it, can't decide on anything, or ADHD it back to the shelf after 10 minutes? Last game I actually sat down and played for awhile was Shadow of Mordor. Maybe I just don't have the patience for a game that doesn't absolutely captivate me right off the bat or maybe it's just the weather This is me every time I have just finished a game. When your backlog is massive it can be an almost overwhelming task to try and find something good to play. And if you also have a busy day at work/school and have a limited amount of free time to play games, it's frustrating to start a game only to find that it's really lovely. So what I did was just accept that in my backlog there is a gigantic amount of turds and only a few gold nuggets: Install a few games (use Backloggery or Steam Completionist to select for you if you can't decide). If a game doesn't work for you withing 15-30 minutes, just uninstall, categorize it as a turd and never look back. You'll then at least know there are less games in the backlog, won't feel guilty about not finishing games and have a larger chance of finding a good game to play again.

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

Drifter posted:The lego games are literally all the same. If you're going to play more than one, I guess go for the Batman 2, Marvel, or Lord of the Rings. 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.

To be honest, these new Telltale "games" are really nothing more than extremely polished Visual Novels with a few quick time events thrown in. I enjoyed both the first season of Walking Dead and Wolf, especially Dead had some really good writing, but I'll probably not get another one as they are just not that interesting compared to classic adventures in my opinion.

The White Dragon posted:Is it finished? I remember playing it in Early Access last year, but while it was functioning, it was also extremely barebones. I had a blast playing it (Full Mojo Rampage) and they just kept adding on until they got out of Early Access. I keep comparing it to Hero Siege more than Binding of Isaac, as your character keeps some of the stuff you earn through a game and can level up that way. Never tried coop but for someone who is not all that into roguelites, I had a good time playing it and will probably revisit it some day.
