If they continue to treat their fans like shit (especially those who pay $110 for premium editions) they will lose those fans. Gamers turn their back on companies faster than anyone else. It will backfire on them eventually. One way or another.

They may turn their backs quickly but that doesn't mean that they stay resilient.

yo that's not how spoilers work

you just ruined my life

that's kind of disingenous but yeah, as long as they keep making a thing that a lot of ppl like "details" won't matter all that much

like call of duty might be slowly losing playerbase every year but it's still huge

This is a reminder that spoiler tagged images don't work on mobile. ;)

Also, man, the Street Fighter story is straight up garbo and I'm always surprised to see people so invested in it when a new game comes out. Hopefully their cinematic story mode in June changes that, though!

Who ever wins this should play it

Should I buy H1Z1 because it's doubling in price soon or not buy it at all because they are doubling the price of it soon?

They've added drops that sell on the Community Market, so there's a chance at recouping the cost of entry. That's literally the one thing that had me thinking about picking it up.

I've made far more on CS:GO than I paid for the game. I don't know how the drops work in H1Z1, though.

Has anyone bought from DLgamer before? I'm about to pick up SF5 and I was wondering if they deliver the steam code asap or when it releases. also if the site is legit.

DLGamer is legit, but I think it was jshackles who said he was asked to jump through some ridiculous anti-fraud hoops after payment had been processed.

Edit:
Looks like DLGamer is getting removed from Enhanced Steam. They're not leaving a good enough impression for me to recommend them to 1.6 million people.

Nothing like trying to purchase something on a Friday night and not being able to because they're supposed to call you(?) with some sort of access code then never do...

EDIT: well, looks like it finally went through. Not a good impression though, but it looks like the code they sent worked.
 

dave is ok

aztek is ok

I ended up passing. The way they went from "eventually F2P with 20 dollar early access" to "now it's two separate $20 dollar games!" is kind of shitty.

I was wondering why it kept showing! Such a pain editing things on a mobile.

Edit:

Yeaaa I'll just pay the extra 4$ at GMG to not deal with that. Thanks for the help.

Aww... why does the Bunny Lord have to speak gibberish in Not A Hero.
That's a negative right off the bat. :\

not a hero had the most instantaneous turn off humor for me ever

i bought it on a cheap bundle and figured i'll try it and i think i lasted ilke 10 minutes before going nope, this humor is not for me

Just skip the humorous parts then. The gameplay and the music are amazing.

Umbrella Corps unveils its Resident Evil 5 themed map

Although it was revealed in Umbrella Corps' last trailer, Capcom is now officially sharing details regarding its Resident Evil 5-style Kijuju map. It's the biggest map in the game, and will also sport underground passages in addition to its open style. The Majini will return as enemies in the arena.

Capcom reminds us that Umbrella is still set for a May release, and is still only available on PC and PS4. I doubt this will sell well enough for an Xbox One release, but at the very least, this looks better than the awful Operation Raccoon City.

i could've but i had at the time much more interesting games to play and still do so i guess that was it for not a hero. cool other ppl liked it and i might give it another shot someday but not terribly pressed to do so

i like whole packages, i never play games "just for the story" or "just for the gameplay", so if i don't like one i'll probably won't care enough to do much of the other. there's exceptions, like ass creed where i don't really like the gameplay but i really enjoy the exploration and the story is intriguing enough that i get hooked, but generally speaking i'll try to play games that have a little bit of both i ilke

and before anyone says anything about league, league's got an awesome set of characters i really like so u know, it's not just "gameplay"

and i have so many issues with general gameplay vs story distinctions, ugh

That's because it's British Humour. The 'u' makes all the difference.

Thank you tax season.

You'll enjoy it. Or not, I don't know what you're into.


I got an email from GMG with a voucher for 23% off the Resistance Pack that give 3 upcoming DLC. Went ahead and pulled the trigger. I'd rather get a massive story mode DLC though.

Edit:

I can confirm I got this from DLgamer too. I bought Heroes of the Storm starter from them since they had it before the street date and they send you an automated call with numbers spoken that are supposed to be in your language. I'm in Canada and had chosen french and the call was half french and half something else so I had to guess and retry until I got the last 2 numbers right in the text box.

tax season is going to cost me about a gfx card worth of money.

I need to talk to HR, they aren't taking enough money out : /

Ouch. Had that happen with my first job, ever since I always have the most amount of taxes taken out just in case.

I loved XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within, so I'm pretty confident I'll enjoy it.

Yeah, that's really not cool. I wasn't ever really sold on the game, and I didn't have much interest at all, but the crates sparked a sliver of it.

Not enough to actually get the game, though.

Are you playing with a controller? I came back to the game, having played controller exclusively before, and there's this weird delay now. They might have borked it.

I'm like 2 levels away from beating the game but I don't think I feel like forcing myself to.

Just skip the humorous parts then. The gameplay and the music are amazing.

It's a little harder than that, since even the levels interject some of that humor. I really wish the game skipped that shitty self-awareness and really pushed the 2.5D gameplay into something direct and honest.

There's a kernel of something solid here. I don't know that I'd completely recommend the game, though.

Could be June. They always said 2nd-3rd quarter, didnt they?

Nvidia hasn't given given a release window, unless I've missed something. Nothing but the rumour mill has Pascal's launched pencilled in for some point in the back half of the year.

I see. Always thought they were aiming for Q2/3, but seems these were just rumors.

I bought The Secret World Ultimate Edition
I hope this isn't too grindy

It isnt. Its a great MMO you can play solo.
