Is Transistor any good?

Loving the art style..

Second opinion. I really love this game. Great setting, really nice battle system and the story telling is awesome, it looks gorgeous too. It's pretty short, but I played it 3 times and got 100% the achievements, go for it.
 
I've only bought 10,000,000 & You Must Build A Boat so far but these are in my cart awaiting freedom...


Lots of cheap stuff there but i've been "off" my AAA games for a while now and i am addicted to the Hidden Object games but only in sales and i'm after games i can play while podcasts are on or at lunch hour. Good job it's pay day soon!

I suggest Pixel Piracy, highly fun stuff. I also say pick up Downwell, I just picked it up purely based on Jim Sterling youtube video. Look like a blast to me and its like 2 dollars. Instabought it.

Great art style, great music, interesting story, deep mechanics that allow surprisingly different play styles.

The first time I played through the game, I played it as an SRPG, pausing before every move and considering my options. The second time I played through the game, it was more of an ARPG, where I played it fully real time, only pausing to execute some ridiculous damage.
It's interesting that the skills can have that kind of interaction to support two separate play styles.

I echo this.

The combination of skills and differences of playstyles + modes makes it an amazing and unique experience on the gameplay front.

Story was okay, I personally didn't care much about it. The background info was neat though.
 
Overrated, it's an okay game, but couldn't force myself to finish it.

Ok, thanks! I'm going to give it a try :-)
 
I just completed Her Story and...dunno, I can't understand why some people marked this as GOTY (and of course I recognize each person is different with different tastes).
But let's proceed in order:

-the game has not a real gameplay. You just watch some videos and you need to look for other videos by searching for specific terms. Pretty easy and mindless, and this is the only gameplay element available, an element you can break in a very stupid way (
each video is labeled with BLANK tag: if you search for BLANK, the game will give you istant access to all available videos
: I didn't use this way to unlock all videos, in fact I pretty much completed all the game in the "legit" way: but I was missing something like ten videos, I used this method and remaining videos were stuff like the main actress asking for sugar or saying "Yes/No" by using the truth machine, really useless stuff if not for game's completion.)
-the acting is very good. The actress here gives a great performance. But again, even if the plot is interesting, is really nothing special. Let's say the way the story is builded is more interesting then the plot itself (
you never hear questions, you only see answers, and you need to figure out what happened based on this
), very common trope already seen in plenty of movies and books. I saw a lot of people in steam community hub don't understand what happens in the game, looking for an interpretation...but if you see all the videos, is very clear what happened, no explanation needed honestly.

In the end, Her Story is worth its full price, if you take it as "non-game" (at least it's like this for me). But gameplay side, there's really nothing here.
 
Also what's up with Steam? I browse Top Sellers and get "no results from your query"

I think they are still flipping servers on and off, i had a "Login to check your queue" appear on the banner strip within the client just before i lost my cart and my client was logged in fine. It's a bit squiffy at the moment for anything related to Community, Wishlists etc it seems.
 
Even with a GFWL crutch? That's impressive.
Well, when they released the game, GFWL wasn't a huge issue. In hindsight it obviously is.

I was talking more about the performance/controls/graphical options. It was one of the first games to make good use of DX11, including tesselation, all exclusively for the PC version!
 
I'm about to start playing Witcher 3 and now I'm wondering what's the best way to enhance the graphics. I'll use HD reworked Project, Increased LOD, Lore-friendly Witcher and No Dirty Lens Effect. I just have to decide between E3FX and Super turbo Lighting. Which of those two will get me the better experience?

Have a 980, i5 4670k @4.7 and 16GB RAM.
 
I got Murdered: Soul Suspect and The Last Remnant from giving a friend X-Blades. Also, bought Diehard Dungeon as a gift for another friend.

I haven't had a chance yet. It's way too early for that.

Here's a bit from Cyan's GOTY post:
(...)
And it's surprisingly tricky to divide one number by another when you only have addition and subtraction!

What, no shifting?
I mean, it's easy to divide with subtraction and shift, but only with the former... Hmm, hmm...

I prefer Super Turbo Lighting over sweetfx profiles. I would also suggest 'ImmersiveCam' mod, brings Geralt closer to the screen, like in the E3 demos.
 
What kind of case? Planning a mATX build myself right now and looking at the Jonsbo/Cooltek UMX3. Doesn't need to be fanless, just a nice gaming HTPC for my TV (anything is better than the PS4 fans during gameplay).

rvz02 from silverstone

What are the specs? That interests me. I want to do a quiet mITX build.

gtx 970 + i5 4670k + 8gb ddr3 @ 1600mz
also managed to squeeze in 4 tb of storage along with an ssd

you'd think they'd be used to big server loads, though I guess the attack yesterday made them cautious
 
Welp. Just bought TIS-100.

#RIP #PROGRAMMING #BLESSED

(I still need to buy it myself. But I've already spent $100 and dunno when I'm going to get around to the numerous other titles I've bought over the past three years. Maybe in the summer sale.)
 
Lost Planet 2 isn't available in my region :(
Anyone know where I can find it for $5 outside of Steam?

Unless you're getting it for a free 1000 on X-box Live/GfWL, you're not missing much. The short time I dicked around with it to see the PC port the online was dead dead dead. So the whole main point of the outing (the co-op) was entirely pointless there.

If you're looking to run through it, just get a PS360 copy. You can finish it in a day or so.

Is Lost Planet 2 still available on steam?

Yes??????

I still want it on Steam though since that's the system I game on mainly. It has local co-op like what Durante said and that's a reason for me to get it.

Best to see if other people chime in, but personally I would reconsider Type:Rider. It's an interesting idea, but as a platformer I found it frustrating to control because of how inherently unstable your character is. Maybe someone who's better at platformers would feel differently.

Thanks, i'll take another look and have a shufty at the Giant Bomb Quick Look again.

I though the levels are forgiving enough that the controls aren't a problem, they're not precise but predictable enough. Plus enough check points, the only level that gave me trouble was the secret one
