I'm actually a little disappointed it's not just another "best characters from all other Blizzard games" setup.

Really? I don't think Blizz's various IPs really mesh well together at all. It sort of works for one game if they don't take it too seriously, but leaning on that too much would be a mistake.

None of these character designs really mesh well together either.
 
Is GAF not love?

also since I now bought Advanced Warfare, I guess that means I WILL win that raffle thats going on right? thats how it works? >_>
 
The character design of Overwatch reminds me of something but I can't quite put my finger on it. I've never seen LOL character designs so it can't be that. Looks terrible though.

Also the name just reminds me of XCOM and Overstrike (before it became Fuse).

They went for a generic straight from LoL design. Not an upgrade.

I don't deny that creating a new universe is a better basis for a game, but it's not like an online competitive shooter needs a good backstory any more than DOTA does, and Blizzard's previous character design is one of their stronger points. Since they already went that way with their DOTA clone no doubt they would have gotten a lot of flack for doing it again. But while the cinematic video was good (as always), nothing about that universe or characters seems particularly noteworthy anyway, and they are venturing into a market that's arguably even more saturated than MMOs.

It reminded me of a lot of things. Mass Effect, Warhammer, Darksiders, Metal Gear Rising, to name a few.

A Bird Story is pretty good actually I thought, only an hours long but it has the mini feels of To The Moon nevertheless :)

Also, end of the game reveals what To The Moon's sequel will be

Finding Paradise
 
The Humble Store anniversary also has deals on other games, like South park 33% off, or the Sonic Collection 75% off. Too many to list, anyway =p

Bundlestars LEGO Super Heroes Bundle 15$/€ for Batman, Batman 2, Marvel + Asgard & Super packs

GMG has Endless Space Gold 75% off, extra 20% off with NOVEMB-ERGMGX-20XOFF

Retailer power. Who'd have thunk when in most region they are close to non existant and/or irrelevant that there would still be these silly issues most of the time. I mean Valkyria Chronicles is releasing world wide on the same date and time for everyone but AC Unity has about 7 different dates and times for different regions.
 
So I looked through the concept drawings and pdfs. They're kind of okay, I guess.

Though it comes with a map that has the copyright information right in the middle of it, ruining it, and telling me that "the map can be ordered at [software farm's website]."

Turns out that you apparently can't buy the map on its own, but can buy it through their Collector's Edition and Economy Pack of the original version of Gold Rush!

Truly the greatest economy pack of our time. And yes, it apparently does come with the game on floppy disks.

They probably don't want the game launching earlier on PC than for consoles, and console retailers aren't irrelevant yet.
 
you guys saw me say that Advanced Warfare is 25% off on GMG and it works with vouchers right? I know its a meme to shit on COD but thats pretty fucking unprecedented, and on a good COD of all things

Fuck. No gmg coupon works with lords of the fallen :(

vouchers dont work on VIP games, which is why its weird that they took AW out of the VIP section, and then put the 25% discount on it again lol

Well the last COD I tried didn't work here, so I don't want to spend a lot of money on it... but I also don't want to lower everyone's chances by signing up to MakeshiftChef's giveaway =p

Is Makeshift raffling two COD games?

No, he did an extra repost himself before he left for partytime.
 
Must have made a mistake with the first game, given the generic "Call of Duty". But where's Stump to delete the first one ?

Stump hasn't found us in the community yet.

Also, is there a Uplay community thread?
I'm guessing that if there is, it's about as dead as the Origin thread.

Batman Arkham Origins and Rogue Legacy are now €3,49 on the Humble Bundle Store.

My question
s
to SteamGAF: Is Batman AO on the Humble Bundle Store the GOTY version? Or the standard/normal version?

And should I buy Rogue Legacy? Or should I wait until it's included in a bundle?

Thank you very much if someone answers my question

:)

Origins doesn't have a GOTY version, so it's just the standard version.

I don't think there is a goatee version of AO.
 
I wish there was a way to suspend PC games like on Xbox One or portables.
I know I could just leave them on I guess. Would be cool if there was some sort Steam Soft Save that would always remember where you left off.
