Yeah. He had a ridiculous level in the summer sale badge too.
Why, all my friends said it's their best game?
You did good.

Anyone down for some Killing Floor 2 or Duck Game? One of these days someone will say yes 
Eh, at least he can jam that poledance animation into every telltale game now.

Emma would've been a much better choice than Sylvaria for Weird-Ass Character Action Game Spinoff In A JRPG. Especially considering the actions of both characters. But, oh well.
This is my monthly reminder to go back and finish TLR one of these days.
It's so bizarre.
"Guys, where do we put an extra chapter in!?"
"Let's say in the first 20% of the game?"
"Okay. What else can we do?"
"I KNOW! LET'S MAKE SURE THE PLAYER CAN'T CONTINUE TO GET POWERFUL ENOUGH TO BLOW THROUGH IT OR AT LEAST GET THE FULL STORY BEFORE REACHING THIS EPILOGUE 'CHAPTER'!"
"BRILLIANT! SHIP IT NOW!"
Why, all my friends said it's their best game?
Wolf Among Us is amazing.

Pretty sure he hated the game. In fact I don't think it was very well received in general over here.
BTW, welcome back fool

oh really? I thought everyone is loving Fallout 4. GOTY and all that. I mean it's not mine... but it seems like everyone else is loving it.
that's actually
edit: omg i watched the rest of that video
that's awesome lol
CS mode is a nice experience for a bit until you get further into more areas. Then the game starts bringing the pain. I haven't tried too much AC mode.
Unlocking areas and ships along with new music is such a joy in this game.

I think my review said pretty much the same thing, 40 levels of tutorials and 10 levels of the interesting stuff. Still a nice little puzzler and only takes an hour or so. Also easy 100% cheeves, only one for finishing it.

Wolf is amazing, equal fave with borderlands for me.

Because that was before Tales From The Borderlands happen.

The Talos PrincipleGot a $50 gift card from my brother-in-law!
Was thinking of Fallout 4, but ... man, those reviews are disappointing. It's fallen down to my "$20 or less" list.
So!
Here's what I've got in my cart so far:
Any other must-haves in the under-$10 range?

Looks neat. Is this what you people call a Jawmuncher alert?
Have had my eye on this one awhile. Really like the concept, hope they keep at it.

You could also check out the humble monthly thread or the B/S/T thread and pick up Talos Principle for cheap.
yeah tales from the boredlands is probably gonna be top 3 this year for me.
absolutely a must have for anyone that wants to go on an adventure
i like grieving mother, durance and eder the best (in that order). they each have really interesting internal struggles and deal with very profound themes that i don't think i've seen tackled this way in any game (if ever). grieving mother in particular is probably one of my favorite companions in a long time, she's so damn good
tits is pretty light hearted and has some really fun characters but it's also very safe and pretty much a whole lot of i've-seen-befores
talos is a bit more ambitious but it has a very pretentious feel that i didn't particularly appreciate. the story's pretty good and it's interesting to figure it out through bits and pieces through archived emails and literal writing on the wall. but i didn't really connect much to talos in the way i've connected to other stories dealing with the same themes, so i'm not sure if i'd recommend it on its story merits
talos is a pretty good puzzle game tho and it's a lot shorter so i'd probably recommend that
that being said if you're a jrpg fan you're probably gonna love tits so go for it

Grieving Mother was my favourite. I loved how all the other companions thought she
was just some old woman following them around. They never saw how she helped them in battle and the like, they just never noticed her. Pretty interesting parallels with major depression, feeling like you're part of the background not participating in the group manifests itself in a physical way in the game.
Question about that, I know you can create your own party if you want but I read that you miss out on a lot of great content if you do. How many can you have in your party? Can you make say, like 2 party members and the rest companions and do those stories too?

Been enjoying my winter break--and thus not really posting, been lurking gaf as a whole. Got a few things (Like finally got Trails SC).
Also the Steam controller is pretty amazing after you adjust.

Zyklon, don't hurt me like this.
Just because it's not GOOD gameplay doesn't make it NOT gameplay.

Resident Evil 6 for $10. Dive in or save my money?
yeah, grieving mother is my favorite too. the writing on her character is great
it works like this, inkeepers let you create partymembers of your same level for a fee that you can swap for like written companions and such
you can have any combination of player-created and "real" companions you want (up to 5 in your party + your own character)
personally i've just been using the obs-written companions but i could see a case for using player-created ones in harder difficulties or if you want to try some of the other classes in the game. say, there's no monk to recruit in the main story, at least that i've found, so you could just create one of those (or buy the dlc, i think there's a monk companion in the dlc)
ok, you're right
just don't call me zyklon

That's half a Resident Evil 0 pre-order which is a much better game.

That's what I paid for it a couple years and I liked it and thought it was worth the money, I found the campaigns to be pretty fun.
Listen to this man, he's wise.
Though Biohazard 0 isn't much better. :x, put that money toward REbirth.
Not really a bullet-hell kinda guy, but Talos Principle looks interesting. Thanks for the suggestion!

Resident Evil 6 is one of the best action games of all time so it was worth the 100 I paid for the collector's edition on the PS3
Although that came with all of the other RE games on the PS3 which I didn't have at the time.Playing New Vegas is heartbreaking, such a better game than 4 but the shooting is so poor in comparison. Oh well.

If you want a pretty good action game (seriously, it's almost like a character action game with guns), with a fuckton of content, go for it.
If you'd rather go for a more classic Resident Evil, refer to Man Puncher's post.

really can't wait till it's available here in Australia.

Yeah. I didn't think I'd come away with much this sale but a couple purchases and trading got me:
Neon Struct
The Masterplan
Towerfall Ascension
Fistful of Gun
Grim Fandango
and Tomb Raider 13
That'll keep me at it for while. Happy.

Trackpad + Gyro combo is seriously amazing. I'm not even thinking about it anymore. Aim slightly off? Gyro.
There's an option in the menu screen to go back to proper universe.
I played a bit of Tales of Zestiria earlier with the 60fps fix.
Amazing, ain't it. Can't wait for someone to devise Symphonia unlock.
Also, and this can't be overstated, make sure to enable 4x SGSSAA if your GPU allows it. The FXAA used in the game introduces an ungodly amount of shimmering, that isn't resolved even by downsampling from 4k. :\
I didn't really like Contagion all that much. The ending was terrible.
Also, make sure not to play with the Developer's Commentary. There's simply too much of it, breaking up the game's progression, and most of it doesn't give you any decent info.
