didn't do much in rocket league than relax in training mode a bit in between other league matches but man that game looks super pretty, i'd seen videos of it but it's something else when you're playing it yourself, the grass is the best grass i've ever seen i think lol.

i haven't done much more than "kick" the ball around a bit and that was pretty alright

should i do the tutorial or something like that or just jump into games?

i got the basic controls just from pressing everying

I haven't seen anything about the Deadpool movie, I don't even know if I'm going to see it. But still, the only thing I want of that movie is to be better than Way's Deadpool.

That shouldn't be too hard.

W-why can't I mod animegaf ;~;

I'd be the worst mod I'd go off at people when they did bad stuff but unless it was terrible I wouldn't ban.

Tunnel Bear or FlyVPN or something, unless it's a 2K game, then iirc there's a PayPal check and you're SOL.

just requested a refund for my Rust 4-pack. will they refund the 2 copies that I gave to my friends too? it didn't run well on any of our systems. my refund request has the full amount of the full pack, so i'm hopeful right now. will my friends have to do anything additional on their end? we only tried to play for like 30 minutes before we just gave up.

Remember when our digital steam games were cheaper than retail console copies.

Now we're just saving tax. :steamsalty:

On the plus side, our dollar went up a little! A whole 73c to the US dollar.

Trails SC & FC Ending Spoilers!!
What I liked about the
Trails
FC ending was that the villains ambition wasn't something you see in every second JRPG. SC however
is
pretty much JRPG 101: Super villain wants to change the whole world, fuses with a magical artifact to transform into a
great
god-like being before I kill him. I've just
play
ed some variation of that too many times and have grown quite bored with
it
, so that was a little dissappointing. Also, the fact that you had to go back to your base everytime to change party members to see the proper ending to the pre-boss-fights felt too annoying to me at this point of the game, where you were supposed to rush to stop Weissmann. So I just kept my normal party and looked up the real ending to those fights on youtube.

You're wrong about SC's ending part.

His goal was to force mankind to evolve and gain absolute knowledge and intelligence. Also, he was used by the other members of Ouroboros to advance their Orpheus project to its first step, a reason why gospels were of great importance, and also why Campanella stole the wand from him during his death as its an important artifact to serve Ouroboros.

The games continue on, it doesn't end here. Hell the Third chapter gives more exposition and explanations, but several more questions like Ourboros' Grandmaster is a female because we hear her voice.

You simplify and reduce his role too much. I don't think you've paid much attention.

I did pay attention and know all of those things you mentioned, that's exactly what I was talking about :) (except for the stuff about the third game, as I haven't played that.
I liked FC because the villains ambition was more low key and local, which you don't see often in JRPGs, instead of this whole "we have to change all of mankind"-stuff.

Has anyone gotten the Steam Overlay to work in Need for Speed Most Wanted? It doesn't work for me, which means I can't use the Steam Controller with it.

I've played more of The Bureau XCOM Declassified. I'm having lot of fun with it. Like I read up on here it plays very similarly to Mass Effect but in a XCOM universe. It's a squad based third person shooter with cooldown abilities.

[...]

Frankly it's not a bad game and you can do much worse for 4$. Even at full price I don't understand why it was panned so much. My guess is that fans didn't want this and chose the real XCOM instead.
Click to expand...


The Bureau: XCOM Declassified's biggest problem is probably that it was an XCOM game, but not one following the classical formula, when people were hungry for a "real" XCOM game. It's not even the worst XCOM spin-off, by far; I dare anyone who thinks so to try to play X-COM: Enforcer.

But despite being a spin-off, and a bit mediocre in execution, I also enjoyed this game. I did find that enemies could be extremely bullet spongey on normal and ended up dropping it down to easy because of this. But even on this difficulty, some enemies could take a huge amount amount of punishment before they went down.

I also really liked The Bureau's take on player agency (massive spoilers ahead, for anyone who hasn't played the game):
Contrary to what you are led to believe in the game, the player is not Agent Carter whom you control for most of the game. Rather, the player represents an alien entity (this XCOM's version of the Ethereal), who is subtly controlling and aiding Carter, and who is in fact the source of Carter's special abilities, which are initially explained as being due to contact with an alien artifact. I found this to be a pretty interesting take on the issue, though it felt a bit jarring when you no longer control Carter, and he turns out to be exactly the broken person he is described as in the dossiers.

Did you play the DLC? I found that the "Hangar 6 R&D" DLC was pretty entertaining, even if the premise was kind of ludicrous (even in the context of the game world), so I'd recommend that you pick it up if you feel like playing a bit more of The Bureau. The other DLC ("Code Breakers") was absurdly short, however. I think it took me less than 20 minutes to beat it, and it was rather uninteresting to boot. I'm happy that I got that one extremely cheap.

It could be a hardware problem but not likely.

Maybe some automatic updates thingie kicked in. If it keeps up check the task manager and see what is eating up performance.

Are there any recommended mods for Enemy Within? I just had the game crash on me during the tutorial but I don't remember that happening with Enemy Unknown. I'm wondering if there are any stability mods out there.
Click to expand...
It turns out that switching to borderless fullscreen stops it crashing. I haven't switched back to see if it was just a problem at that point or in general but at least it's working.
