I'm pretty dumb. I'm playing through Uncharted 1 right now. The first "puzzle" that you come across is not bad and I was able to solve it right away (even though I brain was telling me to explore more). I have maybe spent 20 minutes on this one other section wondering how I solve the puzzle. It says push triangle and it doesn't work, I had to look up a guide and then it hit me. What if I need to do more then just press triangle? What if this is one of those "dumb" QTE type of things where they want you to mash a button in order to simulate stuff and ya it was just that..... The rest of the series has a lot of these doesn't it?.......

Humble brand manager guy on reddit is saying it's a fake, but as someone else also pointed out in the initial twitter screenshot the Void bastards reference in the first half is typed out complete different in comparison to the actual link that would go to the humble website
Sargasso Nebula as opposed to Sargosso

Sooo... #teamfake

Reddit with another lie. Wow, how surprising. Although, the "brand manager" also posted on Reddit, what if we're stuck in a lie-ception.

Lol possibly
But the guy who said it's fake and "im the brand manager" is this guy

and all his posts are about working for humble and about launching Temtem and stuff/working with the devs so that's some pretty dedicated shit posting

Forager being in a choice is still possible

Void b. Would be a curious pick as it was already in a bundle, so i could see it in a future bundle but not necessarily a choice bundle

Forager is ace! Such a great game 👌
I bought it on friday, started playing and wasn't able to put it down for 8 hours. EIGHT HOURS.

I mean, I've played my fair share of engaging games, but this was "unealthy levels of addictiveness" .

With that said, the game is plagued with bugs that seem rather easy to fix.

For example, in k/m mode, if you select an item in your inventory and then click on "use" it'll often switch to another item after the first click. The fix is to select the item and then reach the "use" button by moving your pointer around the inventory. The game seems to be storing a reference to the last item over which your cursor was hovering.

Finished Chimera Squad. It is a pretty good strategy game. Missions are faster, I like exploiting synergies, the initiative system works very well.
Would love to start a new playthrough on the highest difficulty, but the game needs a patch. Too many crashes, too many corrupted savegames.
Will give Gears Tactics a try now, on game pass. Not confident enough to spend 70€ on Steam. And why the f* does the game only cost $60 in the u.s. to begin with?

Uncharted 1 is from 2007...
But yes the franchise has a lot of reactionary button presses. It will get tiring, even the constant climbing will eventually get tiring imo.
Still enjoyed the games, though I played them close to release. Not sure if they really aged well.

Still not sure how assviking is going to work, asscreed is about climbing tall buildings and vikings didn't have that, well unless its about vikings going to other countries to pillage then it could work;
I fully expect to be able to gather a crew and to raid villages and cities. Everything else would not deserve the Vikings name.
If they think they can get away with another AC:Odyssey but with a Viking skin I'll be disappointed.
And I liked AC:Odyssey

"AssViking" is a strange nickname for the game btw.

Highly doubt that Ubi will allow you to raid cities, rob churches and rape citizens.

No need for the rape stuff tbh. But there was always a lot of killing in or around churches in the series. Bishops were also sometimes the assassination goals.

We will see, i hope its will be not another attempt in romanticization of vikings (because they were secretly Assassins :face-with-tears-of-joy:)

My first completed monthly challenge!



In honor of such an occasion I decided to document my adventures with my one and only companion.



































CONGRATS! :) added

same ... even though i love AssCreed i'm not going to buy a new one on udontplay ... i don't own a single game directly on there and i don't plan on changing that ... ever

Our very own @lashman ( :mad::mad::mad:) also said stuff is happening soon.
i didn't say it's happening soon :p only that it's happening ... unfortunately i don't know anything about the timing of announcements :(

don't blame us ... blame ubi ;)

New Madoka season is coming soon, @lashman is pretty excited about it.
:disapproval-blob:

:blobnoanime:

This pleases me.

It was just a tweet from SteamDB announcing tomorrow's Golden Week sale with a picture of the banner. No idea why it got deleted.

Thanks, indeed no idea :(

That's correct, this year is not wise to give any glimpse of potential dates due to covid and potential internal delays, however, things are looking exciting.
(Yes, I know what lash knows too)

Less than 24h until the release of Streets of Rage 4!

There's a lot I don't like in what I've seen in the game so far (like the art-style, and the tracks from the new contributors, both of which I feel don't fit with the "tradition" of past games), but I'm keeping an open mind, and on the plus side:

-1: it's a new beat'em up, and a sequel to my favourite series in the genre, 26 years later!
-2: since this is a series so "attached" to its soundtracks, I can't wait to hear the new tracks from the composers of the original trilogy, Yuzo Koshiro, and Motohiro Kawashima, who really should have done the full soundtrack to 4, instead of being called late in the game to make a few tracks.

And so far, their tracks do not disappoint.

Here's one of the new Koshiro tracks:



And here is one from Kawashima, the "madman" behind much of the insanity featured in Streets of Rage 3:

8 hour stream what. That's like a full day's work.
...I'm not 100% sure if you're referencing my post...
Yup. I'm not particularly proud of it :sick:. Although I had nothing better to do so... whatevs :dabblob:.

My longest gaming session ever is far longer, by the way. I finished MGS2 the day it came out (in a single 16h session). It also ended up being my most played game ever (I think I've finished it about 34 times).

But these long-ass sessions are exceptionnally rare... 99% of the time I tend to completely drop games well before 2 hours of playtime... and even when I really like a specific game I can't do more than 2 hours at a time (you know... too much of a good thing).

Wanted to download Gears Tactics but then I saw my Gamepass subscription lapses in two days. Had that thing for almost half a year and played one game on it. For all the value it gives I don't have any interest in it unless I get several months for 1€
Yeah same here, had it maybe 5 months but only fully played two games and just tried out a few.
