Yeah they're all ticked already, just nothing there in the steam folder. Very strange. Maybe the switch hasn't been hit for them yet ? Not too worried or anything as I'm playing Bloodborne first, was just curious
I decided to go with BB first and it's fucking killing me.
EDIT: I presume you meant which you're going to play first. You should obviously buy the shit out of both, if you haven't already.
I'm going to slay some puppies to get my badass card back.
Yep. Journal is grat.

Female version of harlequin. Sorta.I see what you did there ... I think?
Edit: I just checked what "lecchina" means by itself. LOOOOL.

Yeah, I know, haven't heard much about it since the reveal. But then, I haven't been following it too closely. I like keeping my games managed myself without a client.
And, I've never given Valve a penny >.>
Disgraceful.
Pickpocketing?
This is so fucking good. It's basically exactly what was promised - an Infinity Engine style game remade with the experience and knowledge of modern development and catering to current hardware and interface needs. Everything about it just feels so... honest for lack of a better word. Good old fashioned fantasy with a high level of polish in all the areas where fans would care about. Just looked at item descriptions, going through the options, the journal, etc, everything just is so cohesive and just feels right.
It's funny because for over a decade I've been in love with Matsuno's games because they gave the same sort of feeling, and there aren't many creators who has had as much freedom has he had while also being inspired by this sort of fantasy gaming from the past. Now, we have the real thing again. A brand new game, brand new setting, brand new story. Feels surreal.

I'm not that far in but it's already exceeded all expectations. Absolutely amazing.
"I originally preloaded this to my mechanical hard drive but now I'm second guessing. Does this benefit from a SSD? Should I move the game?"
Yes. There are a lot of loading screens and minimizing it through an SSD does wonders.

Literally in tears here. I've been waiting this game for over ten years and now it's here. Still in the beginning of course but completely addicted, hooked and so on. How on earth am I going to get any sleep and do any work tomorrow lol.

That is odd. They should be available now. I just finished downloading mine. Maybe you can try checking your downloads to see if they are in queue or restart Steam.
Split your time. 2 hours of Bloodborne, 2 hours of PoE.
Of course, I've already played BB for around 12 hours, so for the next 9 hours, I'm gonna play PoE.
Even though it's 9pm and I have a very important class 8am tomorrow. Lol.
I mean fuck, I'm even loving the battles! I've never enjoyed a RTwP battle system before! This game is fucking amazing, BB is fucking amazing, goddamn this week is insane

The game should be terrible until I get home to play it when it magically becomes GOAT.
It is INSANELY immersive.
Imagine Baldurs Gate between different chapters. You have text and then suddenly a pause with ability checks, choices and consequences.
BOOM!

Don't know whether to get this on Steam or GOG...

Before I start playing, knowing basically nothing about the game, I'm going to make a hailmary call about a twist in the story, either half way through or at the end:
Don't click me just in case I'm right!
Don't click me just in case I'm right!
The main character is either a piece of the god that was killed by the Godhammer bomb, or we are his reincarnation.
This is my guess.
This is my guess.

I tend to recommend steam unless you have a specific aversion to it.

so far combat is massively improved from the initials beta builds

I did the same thing. Playing a souls game upon release is the best time to play it.
Fucking hell, arkon-chan. Don't do this to me. I'm having a hard time as it is.
At least it's Bloodborne pulling you away. That's a somewhat respectable choice. <3
I'm trying to find a solution. Besides that, everything is running smoothly and I'm loving this game.

This install time....
I picked Native American because I read it was non indo european and they were the first thing that popped for plains people. I got close.
Mmh, I'm considering what Expert options to enable (or rather disable considering that that's what it does).
I didn't start with it because I went in pretty damn blind and already playing Hard I wasn't sure what the impact would have been but now I'm thinking that Stash being accessible anywhere makes inventory space basically pointless, so I may take that out.
Could also disable advanced tips in the quest log and maybe the dialogue options that tell you what the options you can't use and what is enabling what option, not sure about the second one, however.
I don't think I'll enable the harder death option, however. May have to get a little bit further into the game to see how manageable it is for me.

We shall be rivals.
The writing in this game is blowing me away so far. I wanted to like D:OS, but I think the goofy atmosphere, music, and writing kinda put me off of it, which is weird cause I usually love goofy. This is just on a whole other level though...incredible.
I'm also having to split my time between this and bloodborne. I feel the pain.

So, first thing I noticed when having the first conversation with the trader... I gotta turn of the personality/reputation thingy, it makes me feel conflicted between what I want to say and what it actually does. Turning it off!
Next time though, I still want weird fantasy or science fiction.

I'm an older gamer now (37), but this is how I imagined rpgs were going to evolve since BG2. It's been almost two decades since, but this everything I've wanted. I'm utterly in love with this game.
This...this is something very special. I'm so happy I backed this game so that I played a very small part in making something this good come to fruition.

It is funny to think now that I kickstarted the Project Eternity and then I ended up working on it. Life is completely unpredictable. Anyway, I can confess now that I worked on Pillars of Eternity as Localisation Test Lead. So if you are playing Pillars of Eternity in French, Italian, German, Spanish, Polish and Russian language, you can hate me

I think the major complain with GOG is that it doesn't update like Steam. Haven't personally used it though.

Yeah, it even happens if I change it to fullscreen mode, and have to tab out and back in for it to stay in bounds. Pretty annoying :<
