Is there any way to all to tell the difference between a brownout related reboot or some hardware-level issue? Happened today on my PC when under light load. There are thunderstorms in the wider area and brownouts do occur sometimes. Windows log just says unexpected reboot. I don't have a UPS.

Speaking of games published by 505 Games.


Reviews went Mostly Negative, was interested but apparently the devs break more than they fix with each update and who knows when they'll abandon it completely.

Better this than NOLF.
You should tweet him to pick up Kajko & Kokosz point and click as well.

pretty sure he wouldn't be interested, lol

also - there's a MUCH bigger chance of GOG getting that one, you know that ... speaking of which, Sołtys on GOG when?

 

[Myradeer]

damn, yeah ... that sucks

still - i'm gonna play it anyway ... might as well since i already bought it

plus - the fact that it's 5h long is acutally a plus for me

Probably not relevant, but I do also have to mention that Truberbrook's Asian translation is outright unplayable with nonsense and frequently outright wrong dialogues.

They released way more crappier games already.
I don't think GOG cares for Polish games anymore, they are being run by the American branch.
Maybe on next Independence Day....

Not really. If your PSU stopped sending the juice for your board, that's all we will be knowing. Why it did stop will be a mystery unless you test it.

 

[Tizoc]

Worth a watch

I've really come to appreciate SA1 more than SA2. The only things I like about SA2 are the Sonic and Shadow stages which make up 1/3 of the game.

damn, that sucks ... we're still missing so many ...

oh well ... guess i can always find them online if i REALLY want to play them again ... still - would be nice to have it in one place

 

[Nabs]

This would be nice. The whole 4-disc thing that needs a special fan made installer gets old whenever I want to pretend that I am going to play through it.

 

[lashman]

This would be nice.

it would be, yeah ... hope it actually happens!

speaking of things actually happening - wasn't Blood supposed to be out in April?

 

[Mivey]

Blaerunner is such a great game. Getting to play it without hassle on modern PCs would be amazing, and ensure it's preserved for decades to come.

damn , thats said i heard it wa oretty good around the v1.0 launch

Stories Untold is the next free Egg game. I wonder if you have to give up your first born to get an exclusivity deal?

we already pretty much knew it would be once devolver announced the exclusivity

 

[Alextended]

Fired up EGS to see. It's doing a 300MB update to Fortnite. It's still going crazy slow with crazy HDD activity for such a tiny patch, EGS is such a mess :/

How is this still acceptable? Steam unlocking the preloads for games of tens of gigs is faster than this bs >_>

Edit: aaand it just finished as I edit this. Note the time difference between posting (it took me a while to notice too though I could hear my HDD). Wtf...

No time for old games when Halo 3 is coming to PC

I've never understood the appeal of the Lego games. I remember being interested in the first Lego Star Wars when it was announced, but I lost interest after actually playing the game on a demo kiosk. I can't see how they're engaging for anyone who's not a child or playing with their child.

I do respect the graphics of the Lego Movie game where everything actually looks like it's made out of Lego. That's cool.

 

[MJunioR]

Motorbikes

I never played a MotoGP game, but considering that is by the same devs of Ride you can't blame me for not being excited.

 

[sk2k]

Yeah, combat is vastly different. I was talking about the story telling, linear exploration, and the dynamic duo focus.

What?! There is combat in A Plague Tale? I was under the impression that the game is a stealth game.

Blame Sega releasing games i wanna giveaway

There's a thread about SCUMMVM supporting Bladerunner here: News - ScummVM has an actively developed Blade Runner engine reimplementation

To be fair, Let It Die on Steam does the same. It takes more than 10 minutes for a few hundred MBs worth of patches each time it gets updated. I wonder if it has something to do with the way the game stores its files.

Yea but that's just boring then lol

Neither has Virtua Fighter 5, so you just best wait for Y6 to land on PC.

 

[Alextended]

Kiwami 2 will have Virtua Fighter 2 though. So soon that will be the best.

VF2 is already on PC tho.

Spoiler

Last Bronx was a better game of the 1st Sega PC port batch

 

[Theswweet]

waiting for Yakuza 6 so we can finally have VF5 on PC

 

[lashman]

watch SEGA deliberately not port 6 precisely because it has VF5

But you can't buy it digitally/easily and even if you manage to run it well on a modern PC it's not arcade perfect, like the Saturn port it has 2D backgrounds etc.

I liked LB but it was VF with weapons and had too small a roster, sequels would have been great though.

Kiwami 2 also has Virtual On

Yakuza preload is up!

35 gigs.

Nice, pre-loading now. Still wondering why SEGA hasn't made Team Sonic available for pre-order though.

[Dragon1893]

I'm really intrigued by A Plague Tale, the game seems to be right up my alley.
I wish I could afford games at full price, fucking hell.

I knew about that actually, but it still be nice to have it natively, perhaps with improved UI, such as higher resolution fonts.

I think you have to really like the IP and playing through the stories of them. I generally buy them when they are $5 and play for a few hours until I get my fill and move on.
