Well they needed to give Strife gameplay SOMEHOW :p

Anyways is it true that Scarlet Grace's OP video doesn't play when you run the game?

Also, you can't buy Rocket League DLC anymore, thanks Dim Swiney :V Ah well maybe someone will use the workshop to let people get them.

From my understanding there is an in-game shop where you can purchase the skins

So, no real endgame. More like a co-op friendly, 15hr tops Dungeon Siege like game. Sounds good on sale.
What makes it like Dungeon Siege, that wasn't even an action game, just point & click stuff (and not even like Diablo clicking, due to the party nature)?

This just looks like Darksiders but isometric. Like the Lara Croft top down games were to normal Tomb Raider. Not turned to Diablo just cos of the camera.

I left the video play in another tab and the dialogue made me think it had switched to some Sengoku Basara 3+ video, is War's actor also Ieyasu's or what?

Edit: yes, Liam O'Brien. Funny I picked that up, I usually don't notice such stuff, I guess Ieyasu's voice was pretty distinctive after all (and I replayed recently).

goood ... gimme 15h adventure and pretty much isometric take on danksiders

fuck what has become from certain genres with mah mah engame and similar gaas shit
Loot hunting in ARPGs is not mah mah endgame gaas shit. For most of the genre offerings it's basically the whole point, and many games manage to do it just fine with base game + meaty expansions or mods, like Grim Dawn, Torchlight or Titan Quest. There is room for both, but some people prefer one over the other and that's fine, just gotta know where each game stands.

Darksiders 3 followed Fury's story and it didn't have any GASS silliness.

Long as the DC comics DLCs return that is fine by me, I don't mind buying them as premium DLC kinda thing.

Gonna play a few more matches later against a bot to unlock some more customization stuff.

Bought RDR2 and I think I am done buying games until Lunar sale. Valve would have to do something really crazy during the winter sale for me to add something to my cart. And even if Beth stealth drops Fallout 76 I am not buying that because fuck off Todd. You took too long.

Got so much play the next couple months :)

Started a hardcore run after beating RE2.

Plus I have a bunch of things in my backlog I need to get around to like AssOdyssey and Tyranny.

I'm playing as Urpina, since that was what the game suggested after going through the initial questionaire.
Please tell me your questionnaire answers which lead you to her. I did it twice and got Leonard both times. :02sad:

Anyways is it true that Scarlet Grace's OP video doesn't play when you run the game?
It's true. The OP is just an mp4 video in the game directory and it's meant to be played externally. :dana_disgust:

Really? The game actually fudges the rolls to try to give you Urpina the first time through since she's the most straightforward campaign. It's more honest on subsequent playthroughs. And yeah, the external video for the intro is just bizzare. If you want to watch it, the very first part of this video is the intro movie in English.

My impressions about Halo: Reach on PC:

It did some stuff right, like unlocked FPS and no anti-cheat option, but shitty audio quality and graphics options only as presets is not what I expected to see after 9 months of waiting. Also, I hope they are going to release the next games faster because waiting another year just to get Combat Evolved would be ridiculous.

Bummer, looks like they fixed the price error for Scarlet Grace on SE's site.


It's now the same as Steam's price. Hope everyone who wanted it was able to get it.

It's baffling how they use Unity for all target platforms and there shouldn't be any technical limitation on PC which could prevent playing a video before the main menu. But here we are.

Looks like I got a few answers right but I did the opposite for the last 3 questions. Thanks! :02love:

no use for everyone else, sadly
Yeah, I better get start used to pay close to U$60 (or more) as it's the standard now if I want to play any upcoming game. I won't be sad if we get some price errors like this one every now and then though, you know, with so many 9s and 0s, can't blame anyone for forgetting a number here or there.

And DQ Builders 2. I've wanted to play one of those so bad.

Agreed! Not every Diablo-like needs to be 40+ hours.

Don't get me wrong, I love those too, but my backlog is already filled with enough games that can clock in at 100 hours. :LOL:

I agree, the audio is shitty, thanksfully, it's a known bug their are trying to fix.

I don't wrong them when it comes to graphic settings. At first, it was weird, but Reach is a 9 year old game made for the 360 that was never suppose to see a PC release.

That doesn't mean it can't get a transparency AA setting :p
(Really, it's been a while since I last saw the "great MSAA but all transparency testing has no AA" look)

Play SaGa, folks. SCARLET GRACE IS SO GOOD.
I will. Eventually.
After I beat Trails of Cold Steel 3, which turns out to be the longest in the series (some 75 hours and still not done with Chapter 4).
And then I want to finish Death Stranding. And play Disco Elysium. So many games, so little time.

Did anyone buy the Jingle Jam bundle, and doesn't own Two Point Hospital?

I would like to get the Two Point Hospital Jingle Jimjams DLC, so if anyone doesn't want that DLC, I can trade something for it. ;)

Please send me a PM if you have it.
Sorry for "bumping" my comment, but in case anyone missed my post on the previous page, here it is again. ;)

Horizon was boring. Just a middle of the road by the numbers AAA game. I dropped it after like 7 or 8hrs.

I don't even think I would have the willpower to wishlist it on Steam. Assuming it even comes to steam because if Sony starts this approach they would be very dumb not to release their own PC client. Or at the very least turn the PSnow app into both a streaming and local client.

Also GG pls Remaster Killzone 1-3 and release them on Steam. I would pay in a heartbeat. Straight cash homie.
I liked Horizon and felt like it actually got better the further the game went. A rare open world where the filler felt reasonable. Still, I don't think I'd double dip.

But the Killzones on Steam? I'd preorder just for the multiplayer in KZ2 alone!

RDR2 regional pricing is decent here. Not great, but still better than some other big games.

I'll wait for that first 25% off on Steam though. It was just discounted on R* & EGS, there's no reason to buy it full price.

I jumped on that Saga Scarlet error, I risked my SE account for it since I don't live in NA, and you know how terrible SE is with their accounts system :p

Guess it'll be my first Saga game.

I'm jumping on your boat, but I'm looking for Invisible Inc from the Jingle bundle

I posted about it on the BTS thread, but got no luck there

Did you know that the Saga game got a PC CE in Japan that included a Steam key. I wanted one but this was around the time that I lost my Pizza delivery job and was jobless for about a month.

I feel like I should have gotten the price error Saga game but knowing SE that game at some point will at least be 50% off in the future and I don't think I will play it anytime soon.

I feel like just buying RDR2 just to test it and see how well my PC can run the game before refunding the game.

So it looks like tommorow is when my PSU will be coming in and when I will be putting in my extra storage in my PC (I'm adding 3+TB of storage to my PC).

So since I will now have much faster drives should I just move my OS? My OS is currently installed on my 500 GB Samsung 840 Evo that I got back in 2014 (the thing cost me about $250USD at the time!!!) I now have a 1TB Samsung 860 Evo and a 2TB Intel 660p. Which of those two should I put my OS on and how should I got about it, I have a lot of files on my computer but I also want to do a "fresh" Windows install without deleting a lot of stuff.

Didn't people have an issue with the Super Monkey Ball game or something? Will the PC version possible also have those issues as well?

I think I have done all of the upgrading that I need for my PC for now, I do plan to get something like a Samsung 970 plus and a "good" gaming keyboard at some point.

If things go well and if I save up money I might be able to use some of my Tax refund to helps twords getting a Valve Index next year for Alyx.
Sekiro OST on sale Amazon product
I have the PC CE of the game so I got the full digital OST already
===



Human heads Studio is getting sued by their publisher and I guess even though there were plans by some team members to keep supporting the game it does not seem like the original team wants to give them the source code.

Tax dollars well spent /s

Well, although I already bought MCC when they put the pre-orders up, I started with my monthly purchases, so far my December acquisitions:





I'm sticking to my buy list pretty well, so expect the few left to be bought too:
