Yeah, fast-forwarding through existing routes in the original 999 version -- and especially redoing the puzzles! -- was quite annoying. I guess you could argue that it lent a bit more weight to the choices, but overall I'd say give me the flowchart any day.
Was the flowchart on the Vita version ? Memory is hazy but I know I ended dropping the game just before the true route because of the annoying replay.

I had to take so many notes for this game for this reason. One of the few games I recall ever being in the situation where I had to do anything like that. Still loved the game overall.

Allyouplay fixed their pricing errors D;
Oh well I'll keep them in mind in case they have an interesting deal in the future.

Dunno about you peeps, but I wouldn't mind Volvo doing the grand prix concept again only uuuuh
Less convoluted, and have the first $5 coupon be more easier to obtain or such?

You must have gotten tokens corresponding to your lifetime spendings.

As a fellow poor person, how?!?!?
i literally have no idea ... i certainly didn't spend that much, i can tell you that

You can check, the pit stop page has a detailed overview from where you got your tokens.

Jokes aside, you should really use those lash, you never know, even if they do the tokens and discount thing again for Christmas they might reset the whole thing instead of keeping them like they did with the Lunar sale. It would be a shame.

Maybe you won the Grand Prize. You received $200 in coupons, which is could be for purchasing the top 3 most expensive games on your wishlist.
it was less than that, lol :p remember those coupons follow volvo's regional pricing (unlike most publishers) ;)

seems like another indie soulsy project is going on

video from first half a year of development, very work in progress
Third Omen is an old-school third person action-adventure video game, in which we tell a deep and engaging story about the conscious decision of personal destruction in the name of exaltation. But in order to achieve it you have to learn how to fully embrace cold emptiness, void and death.
* single-player, narrative driven experience – you play as Eve, a primordial force, the very concept of humanity. Together you will seek revenge on the demons of her past and make a choice to avenge the evil they did to her or keep the balance. But what if you are making a terrible mistake the consequences of which lead to total annihilation?

“one sole desire, one passion for revenge that will remain till the day …”

* tense surrealistic dark fantasy atmosphere – in Third Omen you will immerse yourself into a mind-blowing, shattered world, populated by powerful and distorted enemies, that seek to destroy you.

“Cold emptiness, hunger, void and pain surrounding us constantly. In The Realm of Death the only thing we crave is the abyss. Our thirst for blood is neverending, our thoughts are shrouded with chaos and insanity. Аs long as She walks, we won’t find piece…”

* timing-based combat system that puts you in control of your own actions – to deal with the creatures in Third Omen, we have created a precise fast-paced timing-based combat system that gives you full control of your actions. This combat system is at the core of the Third Omen experience.

* elements of an RPG – you will acquire new powers and abilities through battle and reveal a lot of deeply kept secrets about yourself.

* an emphasis on true psychological horror, rather than cheap jump scares – dare yourself to dip into an intense gameplay in а vast world with masterfully crafted psychological twists.

* music – specially composed music the rhythm of which will play some tricks with your emotional state.

* no subscriptions, no loot boxes and definitely no pay to win – we truly respect the games of old and strongly believe that Third Omen should give you the exact same engaging experience.

Third Omen is much more than a game for us – it will be the first released game of our studio which will show the world who we are as game developers and what our core values and beliefs are.

Third Omen will be available for PC, PS and Xbox in Q4 2020.
BETA sign up Incineration Productions – We at Incineration Productions are an indie studio currently developing а dark fantasy action-adventure video game with a unique world, filled with its own mythology and characters.


releasing soon



According to Bilbey, the increase in the number of EA Originals titles can be attributed to the “quality of opportunities” and EA isn’t opposed to further growth. He said:

It’s scaled up due to the quality of the opportunities from the independent development scene that we saw. As we look ahead to the next one or two years, I could see us scaling up to more.

It was just the volume of quality ideas, and if that continues I could see [EA Originals] continuing to grow. What is important is every game that we have, we assign a producer within EA that acts as the tentacle limb to Electronic Arts. We don’t want to get to the point where one producer’s looking after 10 or 15 different developers because that’s when we’ll lose the real uniqueness of what EA Originals is.

Bilbey added that there are “absolutely no boundaries of creativity” when it comes to EA Originals and referred to Hazelight Studios’ upcoming game as “Project Nuts.”

I'm seriously thinking about dropping RE6. It is not good.
I think that in RE6 the key is to play with a friend. I had the same thoughts after finishing the first campaign on my own . Then I talked with a friend and we finished it together, suddenly the game starts to shine and I have good memories of the experience.

In my opinion it's an underrated coop game :D

Maybe I can get someone to play with me, but I think I'm done with the game now. Will play REmaster instead :3

Which campaign? I started with Leon and it was painfully mediocre but once I accepted that the game was just complete shit the other campaigns became much more fun in that dumb "so bad it's good" kinda way. It's a garbage game but it can definitely be fun if you stop expecting a good Resident Evil. Booze also helps.

So, currently playing a bit of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag which is awesome.
I also got Unity and Syndicate already lined up.
If one would get Rogue as well, were does that fit into the timeline?
And does it really matter anymore since they left Desmond and the numbered games behind?
You'll want to play Rogue after 4 and before Unity, as the former's ending ties directly into the latter's beginning. It's very short, so if you stick to the main missions you'll go through it quickly. Besides, in my opinion it closes the pirate/American trilogy (tetralogy if you coubt Liberation) in a good way, taking elements from all of them, kinda like Revelations did with Altair and Ezio's games. Plus I love that they named many missions after Rush songs and albums (no idea why, guess someone at Ubi was a fan of the Canadian prog rock trio).

Unity is mostly standalone, with only the beginning being connected to Rogue's final moments and a couple of references to the previous entries here and there. Missions are kinda boring, but it looks beautiful. They changed the parkour mechanics, with some additions being nice (parkour down), and some not (having to press an extra button to start climbing, like in the first games).

Syndicate is my favorite of them all (haven't played Origins or Odyssey yet), and it has several connections to 4. Totally worth playing if you like the series. The grappling hook is fantastic, and adds a lot to the series.

I beat Leon's yesterday and was going through Chris'.

I'd be willing to suffer through it again if you ever want the help. No worries if you just drop the game though. Can't say I would blame you. :LOL:
I'll take that offer, but maybe in a few weeks, I'm mad at the game now lol. But sure! :dmcblob:
