Happy Birday Crazy Rabbey

i don't think the formula needs to change so much, they just need good writing and kind of better controls. if the engine didn't constantly erase ppl's saves i'd say there's not all that much to complain about it either (tho it is annoying for sure)

like tales from the boredlands totally made me a telltale believer, you can see in that game that the telltale formula + good writing and direction just works really well

it's why i liked it a lot more than life is strange, lis handled much better and looked great and was super polished in those aspects but the writing fell apart way too often and the "season" doesn't really pay off in the end as much as it should at least

But just playing somewhat interactive tvshows just gets stale. The games consist solely of two things, decisions and QTE's.

The decisions already lost their impact (For me) because i know they ultimately won't matter, due to my past experience with Telltale games.

And if we're talking about QTE's (which i never really found to be that interesting) then this game looks like it's coming from the past century compared to games like Asuras Wrath and Naruto Storm 4.

The formular could need some good shake ups and it wouldn't even be very hard. You could corporate this telltale kind of thing into virtually every genre.

Shooters, Racing Games, Fighting games, you can implement that telltale thing into everything. Imagine a Rocky game, working like your usually telltale adventure, but with an actual combat system for the boxing parts of the story every now and then.

Or how borderlans tried to do it at one moment and implementing a shooting passage. That would make the games feel a lot more different than now, where all games feel the same with a different color of paint.

And for that you also would have to develop a new engine, because the current one absolutely wouldn't work for that. Like said, they tried to go for a shooter segment in Borderlands and it absolutely didn't work because they did it through their QTE overlay thingy, which made the segment not very fun.

Humble redeeming themselves after that awful bundle with a new bundle out of nowhere :D

Also I now have 2 horror games I don't want to play in my backlog. Outlast and Condemned.

Hmm, really tempted to get that Humble for Sunless Sea and Else Heart.Break(). Think I'll wait to see if the average drops a bit. Would be nice if one of the bonus games was the Outlast DLC.

Doubt it, since the bundle gives you a coupon for 80% off the Outlast DLC. That'd cause a bunch of DIS-BEAR, right Tizoc?

I hope next week's games are better in that bundle. Not interested in anything there.

It's about the only way I'll be grabbing it. At least if better means "I don't own it and it looks interesting for the BTA or BTA+$2 price as a charitable donation."

Cross-posting because I think it is another advantage for subscribers.

If I understand correctly, the $1 tier is basically free for Humble Monthly subscribers: the 10% coupon offered with the bundle applies to the next subscription payment.

Always found it odd that the antagonist of Dead Space 3 is Elton John. "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" was playing throughout the entire intro city section.
 
I need some advice. My son wants to buy a pair of comfortable fairly decent over the ear head phones for his pc. He does not want a mic or anything with a fancy amp. His budget is $30. Any suggestions?

My advice is never buy anything as there is a chance it might go free someday.

Look for a deal on some Koss PortaPro's, they cost like $40 normally and are great, I've been using them for a few years and they has great sound and are really comfortable.

Amazon's got them for $36 at the moment.

idk about Rocket League's report function man

this one brazilian dude has been insulting me and saying whatever racist homophobic shit he wants during whole games

I reported him three times. I basically said to him last game "you know you can report people now right? enjoy your ban I guess"

sends me this

"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU STUPID CHILD"

and now he's straight up mocking the fact that nothing will happen on Steam

I only owned Outlast and Retro City in this bundle, so pretty easy to jump in at tier 3. Got it at $8 as it's slowly creeping up. Not enough ppl grabbing the dollar tier it seems :p

Back from the Dark Souls III event in Hamburg, where I played the game for 3-4 hours. Impressions coming when the embargo lifts!

The Matador.
The Claw.
The Beautiful.

Vega.


E: I should say I'm in no way attracted to Vega and if I chose subjectively rather than canonically, it'd have probably been Cammy or Ibuki*

*I'm still not sexually attracted to a Street Fighter character, let me just say that, too.

What happened with that trivia raffle then? Did it break somehow?
 
I don't know what is wrong but it seems it is only me who didin't get the email with War Bundle 3. All of muy freinds got it and even got spare ones but not even one for me. If anyone ahs a spare key for it it would be very nice from him to let me join the party.
