Do you need to have played LIS 1 to play 2? Does the story carry over?
nope ... completely separate story

there are like 2 minor references to the first game for fans ... but that's about it ... think: a headline in a newspaper mentioning a location from the first game ... that kind of stuff ... completely inconsequential

Is this enough to stop lashman on Twitter once and for all?
no, it is not :p

but i really do hope you'll enjoy it as much as i did ... it's an incredible game

Is this good?
Good question. Im interested in it too.
it is :) no jump scares or anything like that ... it's not a horror game

but it IS pretty cool :)

This better be good, I only bought it because a certain SOMEBODY kept bothering people about it page, after page, after page.
:wd_heart:

i'm sure you'll love it :) and remember - in this one your decisions DO matter ... a lot, in fact (and not just the ones that are clearly marked, where you have to choose between a few options ... it also extends to dialogues, and even in-game actions)

Hope so!
Also hope I'll get around to play it before the next Steam sale. I've played the first with my SO back then, and would like to do the same for LIS2. But now with a baby it's 10000x harder to find time. :(
awwww ... well i hope you can get to it soon

Children of Morta
Yooka Laylkee and The Impossible Lair

Yes or No? I have heard The Impossible Lair remidns people of Donkey Kong Country, which I love.

Or maybe I should play the first Yooka Laylee before buying Impossible Lair. Deciding to not buy a new game in a game series before finishing the other game(s) can spare me a lot of money. It's why I have yet to buy many games like Dirt rally 2, Total Warhammer 2 and AoW Planetfall.

Is there a way to check how much will my Steam items be if I sell them all?
No.

Usually you have to wait a long time for anyone to pick up your item at the "starting at" price and you'll need to lower it to the "sell order" price. So while you might see that your card starts at .70 on the market in reality, the only buy order is like .20 lol.

After reading this, I had to see some gameplay on Youtube. And after that... well, so far my decision to buy NOTHING during the Steam sales :p

Edit: €17.45 on 2game.com

Holy fuck, DJMAX apparently has 161 songs.

I mean, the regional pricing is bad, but the high standard US price is more understandable now.
And they'll be adding more songs as free DLC, so there's a lot of value for money if you don't live in one of the regions that are getting shafted by the poor regional pricing.

A bigger problem than the high standard price is the fact that they are not going to add a input-delay options, since they are afraid of getting sued by Konami (again). So if you have problems with the input being out of sync with the audio, and cant fix it by tweaking your Windows settings, then all you can do is refund the game.

Currently still eyeing these are the ones Im currently very interested in getting, only problem is the low discount on them, but these are the ones im VERY interested in getting:

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair - not sure as I haven't played the first game and Im trying to follow my rule of not playing games if I haven't played the first game in the "series" yet, I do really enjoy side-scroll plattformers

Children of Morta

Code Vein

Void Bastards - I really wanted this to be in the Humble Choice, dammit

DJMAX Respect V - I love rhythm games

Valfaris

Greedfall

So I played more RDR2; a few issues.

1. This game throws so much at you to manage. "Your horse is dirty, you can't take stew more than once a couple of days, you have to eat to keep your weight, you got a deer but its low quality, your horse is dirty and its health will go down, manage your honor stats..." Oh boy...
2. Controls sometimes causing problems. Like when on horseback, make the mistake of holding the right trigger for a second and suddenly I have to run away because my gun went off and the law is after me and now I have to wait until the next day to start a mission. :/

RDR1 was smoother than this.

I'm going to see if I can meet this thing halfway.

I'd definitely would get Impossible Lair

The new game is way better than the first one though. The first one, if we take away the nostalgia factor, is an extremely lame title imo. Impossibile Lair is an amazing platform and probably the closest thing to DK Country Tropical Freeze you can get on PC.

What is causing the input delay? I suppose it's the monitor/Tv config but I am just curious if there is anything else to consider...
