This! There are good threads outside the steam thread folks, give it a chancePeople, if you read books with no illustrations, you know we have a thread for it ? Just checking
If pretty pictures are more your thing, we also have a thread for it, by the way.
What will it take for this wonderful community to get out of the steam thread a little ?
You mean Humble Choice (ex-Monthly)?Has HBM been any good?
The current one sucks in my opinion. Lately the Choice bundles are lower qualityHas HBM been any good? I feel I'd end up owning most of the games in the backlog.
Here's some info on the PC port
It seems to be an average port which is the norm for most KT games.It's a fine port, but one clearly anchored to its console origins. The biggest bummer is the 60 fps cap, especially for an animation-heavy action game. Textures that look fine from the slight fuzz inherent to lower console resolutions pop on PC, and in a bad way. Awnings, vending machines, and anything that isn't just lines and color haven't been touched up for higher resolutions. Not devastating, but we like the royal treatment on PC.

Oh that's what the acronym meant. I tend to think it's not worth the $12 so I've spent most of the year paused. I almost always have the good game in the bundle already, then I have to look up the other games, then decide if I'd rather just go to steam and spend the $12 on a game I actually want instead of the 11 whatever choices where I'm not even sure it's worth redeeming the key for ... there has to be a better way to do this bundle thing.Has HBM been any good?

The prepare2play coupon was for 22% off. It was supposed to expire on the 21st but GMG ended the coupon early and just made the base discount 22% off without needing to use a coupon. + Extending the discount to Jan 31st. Which is why the coupon doesn't work anymore. You're getting the same discount either way."PREPARE2PLAY"
But I tried to enter it and while it said it might be invalid it applied the discount.

I suppose Norman Reedus is kinda kawaii [UWSL][/UWSL]Even had an anime game make it in my top 5
We now have 51 votes! :keur:Went ahead and voted in the MetaSteam PC awards.
I work at post office and borrowed your gpu for a couple of weeks to play cyberpunk. Enjoy!
Legend of Kyrandia, what a classic! I remember using several sheets of paper to draw the maze back then, it was such a tedious area. Despite its shortcomings that soundtrack still resonates nowadays. Do you plan to play the trilogy?Halfway through Legend of Kyrandia Book 1. This game has the worst elements of PnC adventure games of the 90s:
1. A friggin' Maze, and not just any maze, one where it's dark if you enter a room without a glowberry you die
2. A bizarre puzzle that eats up the gems you had in your inventory if you do not place gems unto a pedastal in the correct order. The order is randomized every playthrough so you could never know which is the right one unless you save and load, yeesh
Still it has a wonderful soundtrack and beautiful visuals
i missed itDid anyone miss out on the Little Nightmares giveaway? My key finally came through. May only be EU/AUS though (can always try in other locations)
Possibly yeah.Legend of Kyrandia, what a classic! I remember using several sheets of paper to draw the maze back then, it was such a tedious area. Despite its shortcomings that soundtrack still resonates nowadays. Do you plan to play the trilogy?
Did you never finish it ?I was feeling like replaying Disco Elysium, but I also wanted to wait for the Final Cut. So I decided to start Planescape: Torment for the first time instead. Seemed like a good compromise. It's really cool! I'm about 6 hours in, feel like I have made little-to-no real progress on the main quest, and yet I can already tell why this game is considered a classic. The combination of its bizarre setting and great writing is engrossing.
I also love that the combat is easy, at least for now. I've tried several other Infinity Engine games, and I've always bounced off of them because of how brutal their early-game fights were. I may have murdered a comical amount of street thugs in Torment, but at least I haven't had any difficulty doing it.
My favorite moment so far was after Marta gutted me. The text described the sound of one object hitting the floor, but two items were added to my inventory. When I went and looked, I found the ring that had hit the floor, along with my intestines. Nice of her to return them. Using the inventory system in such a gross and unexpected way made it as hilarious as it was macabre.
All I know is that Book 2 is considered the best, so you should have a better time in it.Halfway through Legend of Kyrandia Book 1. This game has the worst elements of PnC adventure games of the 90s:
I played through them a few years ago, and yes IMO Kyrandia 2 is the best.All I know is that Book 2 is considered the best, so you should have a better time in it.
As someone who played (and enjoyed) a whole lot of "eurojank indie" games over the years/decades, and also played (and enjoyed) Cyberpunk, I can say with full confidence that this is simply factually wrong.when your quality control turns out to be worse then some no name eurojank indie
Glad I'm not the only one taking issue with the strength of the statement being made there. Not to mention how absolutely bonkers that game (C77) is from a purely visual and aesthetic perspective.As someone who played (and enjoyed) a whole lot of "eurojank indie" games over the years/decades, and also played (and enjoyed) Cyberpunk, I can say with full confidence that this is simply factually wrong.
At least on PC which should be what we are talking about here.
