maybe tomorrow it rains
14$ for a improved game, why you mad? Use a custom image if it bothers you :p

It's going to make it a difficult wait.


Also, it seems I have an icon for it now. Much better.

EDIT: It appeared without me having to use the one you posted, Grief. Appreciate it, though. I can't stand a grey spot in my grid.

Well Team Fortress 2 was in development for 9 years and had at least 3 different known versions (a realistic, almost battlefield style version, a Half Life 2 version and the one we have today) and that turned out pretty well.

I don't think anyone left Valve over TF2 though


Still I hope Xcom is good, it looks interesting.

Viktor Antonov did, sort of, as Valve had no "epic, triple-A" titles in development at the time of his departure (~2005).

grid view would be so much better if it kept your categories

I have a "hide me" category for all the betas and alien shooters, if only grid view would care about it T_T
 
Let's just say that I've heard from various parts of the grapevine that, due to the engine being used for Celceta, a PC (or even PS3) port might not be entirely out of the question. I think the only hurdle might be the resolution of all the assets - it was designed with the Vita in mind and so some interface and texture clean-up work might be needed for an A+ port.

Seven's more of a non-starter, though. Engine's proprietary, designed for the PSP (along with the low-rez assets) and the existing PC port is... not up to the standards consumers here expect.

Interesting. Guess that's something that they might release down the line, since it wouldn't be surprising if they decide to first release a touched-up Ys AoN.

Hunting down these final few vehicles in JC2 -- boats, to be specific -- is proving to be a pain in the arse thanks to my utterly crap luck in having them spawn. Once they're out of the way, though, I can smash through the main missions and then I'll be done with the game.

Welp, all those Saoirse gifs are starting to make me like her.

You're way more dedicated than me. I stopped caring about hitting 100% in the game after powering through a hundred or so (mostly) copy-pasted outposts...

Can't say I didn't have fun doing it, but I'd enjoy the game much more if it didn't recycle locations so damn much. :\

I'm not going to bother chasing the non-settlement collectables and structures since that'd require blindly exploring every nook and cranny, though I have found a few of the stragglers since I've resumed my pursuit to drive all of the game's vehicles.

Hitting 100% completion actually requires a mod that reinstates the missing water tower into the game world; apparently it was sitting in an unfinished settlement that nobody went back to complete and implement into the world proper.

Thanks for Organ Trail xelios

Oops didn't read the bit about sending you a PM!

Well to make the post relevant I started Dark Souls again last night. I only played for an hour but I already feel like I understand the game much better than the last time I played. I really paid attention the the mechanics tutorial and it feels much easier.

In saying that the first black knight still murdered me, lol.

There should be a rule that says if you thank the person you gifted you something in the thread instead of via PM like they asked, the gift goes to someone else

Pancakes

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
First hour of FF7:

"Pfft, I don't see the big deal."

6 hours later at 5AM:

"Oh god, I need more!"

I doubt Bayonetta will go out on Steam, the sequel is exclusive to WiiU and be published by Nintendo ...

The sequel is decidedly unlikely to do so but the original isn't -- it's Sega's IP, after all, and as per the above image there's an in-house PC build in a playable state.

Never again. I had to repeat the last few as the game crashed and partially reset my progress.

This vehicle is the biggest bastard in the whole game:

Its spawn rate has to be 0.01%.
 
Huh... Take On Mars store page seems to have disappeared, still in my wishlist though. Is that normal for an imminent release?

Dev comment in the Steam Community page:

"Hello everyone, no need for alarm, the game is being released 1pm GMT. The steam entry was being updated, an issue must have arisen and should be up as soon as possible. Again, sorry for the errors."

only if Nintendo make sure to secure the franchise rights?...;), and most games are developed in PC environment before being ported to consoles, so this is not indicative of anything ..

And now you only have to beat the game on extreme difficulty to get the remaining achievements.

I'm not achievement hunting, they just happen to be tied to the game's completion statistics. That said, it does bother me a little that I'll be two achievements short of unlocking the lot once I've finished the campaign.
