I keep forgetting about this game. Still haven't played it, despite buying it at release. Given how much I loved the first game this is weird, but then again I tend to never play 99.9% of the stuff I buy, no matter how hyped I am for it...Finding Paradise is such a strong sequel. Kan Gao can do no wrong.
That art style is really nice and I supposedly bought this in 2016.The art style reminded me of Steredenn. Another good shmup with procedural level generation
we all do .... we all doHell yeah, thanks for the b-day wishes. I want the Epic Store to stop buying exclusives for my b-day.
oh, the retro one isn't a challenge - hence no list ... it's just a suggestion of a cool game for people to playNo one did the Monthly retro challenge? Didn't Tizoc beat it?
I thought that I had Metal Slug, but it seems I missed every time it's been in a bundle
it's funny because i can bet A LOT of Chinese people are buying it to downvote it ... but probably very few are actually refunding it (otherwise volvo would've closed refunds for this game a looong time ago) ... so the devs are getting a shittonne of money nowWell now
I'm just hoping that positive word of mouth from other regions will help this game get more popular.we all do .... we all do
and you're welcome

Dishonored 2 is the challenge

sure hope so .... at least gaming websites FINALLY noticed it - after the bombing ....I'm just hoping that positive word of mouth from other regions will help this game get more popular.
of course i'm accepting everything for next month, including title suggestionsOh, it's not a challenge. I thought it was
Are you accepting new challenges for the next month? May I suggest EDF 4.1? I assume that many will have it since it's in the next Monthly
All I could offer is 'Hot key my Devil Trigger'Do we have a title for next month?
Don't know the reference, but love the innuendo!All I could offer is 'Hot key my Devil Trigger'
Devil May Cry 5 maybe?Don't know the reference, but love the innuendo!
I don't know how difficult the game is, since I haven't played it.of course i'm accepting everything for next month, including title suggestions
as for EDF - sounds good to me ... which achievement, though?
not yet, no ... got a suggestion?Do we have a title for next month?
i don't get it (the "hot key" part, i mean)All I could offer is 'Hot key my Devil Trigger'
has to be a specific achievement, i believeI don't know how difficult the game is, since I haven't played it.
Maybe finish the game in at least normal difficulty? Someone who has played it may give a suggestion.
edit: hmm... it takes around 20 hours to beat the game.
Something about prosthetic hands:Do we have a title for next month?
Is this the first time they use that or did I just miss it previously?

Are you sure you game on PC?
Not only mails but also Sale pages are now reworked with different sections and new background designs, Valve has been adding more and more little parts of the new style lately, slowly but a sure pace.I just saw that there seems to be a new style of "games on your wishlist are on sale" email.

soon™I'm hyped for the new UI too. Hopefully it's soon.
I also hope we'll get an announcement about that Samsung and Valve partnership that was talked about.
Like you said, Dota has had it for what, 5-6 years at least? It's been forever since I last played the game, but it was already fairly expansive around the time of TI 2-3 and they were constantly working on it and expanding the interactions with every big patch. I'm surprised to see so many people call what Apex is doing innovative. Then again I'm also surprised more games haven't copied it until now because it's fantastic for communication.The innovation with Apex's ping system is that it's context based and you can ping everything. The most common use is pinging spots on the map, enemies, and stuff on the ground, but it can also be used for pinging stuff in your inventory to tell team mates you need ammo or weapon parts or whatever.
I'll take VolvoTime over PhilSpencerTime :VA title for next month, "Eagerly waiting in VolvoTime™".
There are four different achievements for beating the gamehas to be a specific achievement, i believe
Could be due to being split to four achievements?There are four different achievements for beating the game
A Walk in the Park
Cleared all stages on Normal difficulty as a Ranger.
Winging It
Cleared all stages on Normal difficulty as a Wing Diver.
Clearing the Air
Cleared all stages on Normal difficulty as an Air Raider.
Fencing Scholar
Cleared all stages on Normal difficulty as a Fencer.
Very little have actually unlocked these achievements. Is the game difficult to beat?
I don't get why they are so automatically defensive about the backlash against EGS?
might be, yeahVery little have actually unlocked these achievements. Is the game difficult to beat?
because EGS is literally Jesus, don't you know?I don't get why they are so automatically defensive about the backlash against EGS?
They release sponsored articles for EGS exclusives too. So EGS is most likely paying them literally. (Galyonkin said they would pay for advertising of exclusive games on other sites)I don't get why they are so automatically defensive about the backlash against EGS?
Doesn't explain why it's low as 2.5 who have unlocked the "easiest" achievementCould be due to being split to four achievements?
And they removed it without mentioning that the article was updated.
looooool, even betterAnd they removed it without mentioning that the article was updated.
Those are not the easiest achievements though? You're likely not going to stick to a single class for every mission (some missions are even substantially more difficult with some classes).There are four different achievements for beating the game

I haven't played the game so I don't know what cleared means in the gameThose are not the easiest achievements though? You're likely not going to stick to a single class for every mission (some missions are even substantially more difficult with some classes).
And single player and multiplayer mission progression isn't shared either. As far as I see it, there is no "simply beat the game" achievement.
AssCreed anywhere in Eastern Europe would be a huge move.The next AssCreed is supposedly set in Rome. Again.
So for me, that's a safe skip. Sorry Ubi. I'm kinda tired of Europe at this point, but especially all this ancient Greek/Rome blah blah. Wouldn't mind seeing medieval Germany or Jeanne d'Arc France though.
Really I want AssCreed in Meiji or fedual Japan, Warring States or later China, and how about Russia around the time of Rasputin? Then I'll come back to the series.
In Siege you still need a mic to clarify what that ping was for. Did you see an enemy? Want me to cover that doorway? Apex gives you a radial menu where you can choose different actions. Also everything in your inventory is ping-able so you can ask for ammo, health items or utility.You can also ping things in R6 Siege. Anywhere you can point your cursor can be pinged. That feature has been in from the start.
I'm confused about what makes Apex's any more impressive or important?
R6S's ping system is just a typical location ping with zero context. Most shooters have that, and even Fortnite has that.You can also ping things in R6 Siege. Anywhere you can point your cursor can be pinged. That feature has been in from the start.
I'm confused about what makes Apex's any more impressive or important?
Oh, that actually does seem really helpful! I'd love it if the pings in R6 were also contextually voiced.In Siege you still need a mic to clarify what that ping was for. Did you see an enemy? Want me to cover that doorway? Apex gives you a radial menu where you can choose different actions. Also everything in your inventory is ping-able so you can ask for ammo, health items or utility.
But the most innovative improvement is that every ping is fully voice-lined so you don't actually need to see the ping in order to react to it.
Oh, I wasn't trying to downplay. I just don't play BR's so I was genuinely curious.R6S's ping system is just a typical location ping with zero context. Most shooters have that, and even Fortnite has that.
If I ping a location in Siege, my teammate has to figure out what I want from them. Am I asking them to reinforce the wall? Am I telling them to barricade a window? Am I telling that that I their Ballistic Shield there? Am I telling them to pick up Rook's trauma plates?
Apex's has way more contextual, useful options than "yellow marker here":
I don't know why everyone is so eager to downplay this system.
Oh I know you were just asking a questionOh, I wasn't trying to downplay. I just don't play BR's so I was genuinely curious.
And this is impressive too: that they forced the people testing it to not use mics so that they could figure out how much could actually be conveyed through pings.Also Respawn did a lot of playtesting to make sure their pinging system would be solid enough to work as the only mode of communication in the game. Other games treat it as a tool to help with communication.
