I think we're a few years away from easily affordable tracking of individual limbs like that.

Here's a video of a guy doing something like that in Doom 3 BFG, but he's using a motion tracking system that costs around $70,000

Thanks for the video.

I was kinda hoping for a way, where you can see you real hardware, augmented to fit the game.

Well Star Citizen has the entire cockpit modeled. So when you move the Joystick, the character will in game.

One problem I see with Oculus Rift is taht you can't look down, to see how keyboard, and look up a button.

If you could include your real world equipment in Oculus Rift view, that woul help imho.

A combination of Oculus Rift and kinect could work, but I would hate to loose the feedback and habtick of real world controls.
(& lag from Kinect)

Thanks guys, I like the way you think.

FTL can last you a lifetime, but play sessions can be maybe 20-40 minutes.

Second that, FTL is a game that you will come back to for (short) intervals regularely

 

[Prophane33]

Then those bullets perfectly succeed on their job, because I always end up crashing into something!

Those tips seem useful, I didn't realize there were patterns here. And yeah, it's important to avoid getting cornered without a way out, which happened to me a couple of times.

Memorizing patterns is one of the most important parts of being good at danmaku shooters Especially against bosses because they regularly use the same patterns that may only change up depending on forms/dificulty.

Edit: Oh, and luck, you'll need plenty of that sometimes.

I just noticed Lost Planet 3 is from the dev that made Legendary, lol.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Equally amazing are Scientifically Accurate Spider-Man and Scientifically Accurate Ninja Turtles

Prepare yourself

Let me repeat: his dick falls off.

I wasn't aware it was outsourced. I'm surprised they actually made an LP3, especially after the lukewarm reception the 2nd one received. Never played more than the demo for 1 and 2 and they seemed like pretty cool games; but I'm someone who has always found the (much maligned) Dynasty Warriors series to be one of the greatest franchises in gaming, so my tastes may be questionable.

 

[denx]

It's weird. I played FTL for a little while some time ago. I thought it was fun, but haven't really wanted to go back to it since then. I guess the random aspect of it puts me off a bit. In my last playthrough I was doing pretty damn well, then I got to the next-to-last section and the game completely screwed me over throwing ridiculous ship encounters and random events that pretty much undid everything cool that was going on so far. I survived, but then I died pretty quickly in the last sector, before I even encountered the final boss ship. Haven't found the will to go back to the game since then.

Does anyone want any of these coupons?

This is true for a lot of rogue likes, I believe. You could be having one of your best runs ever and then you're screwed over by something and you get frustrated and don't touch the game for awhile (if ever). Luckily, the majority of my runs have been just a bit longer than the others. I dislike how absolutely nothing carries between runs -- I know that's the RIGHT way, but I can't believe anyone could beat this game with the default ship and crew in one run without a heaping helping of luck. I haven't been super motivated to go back either, personally. I think the game is great, but it hasn't got it's hooks into me like a lot of other rogue likes. Good game though, don't get me wrong.

Well you get new ships, so that carries over. I didn't really like the default ship, but the Rockmen ship are awesome, and I have like 4 clears with them, one with the Mantis, and I think one with the default. Finally unlocked the Crystal Ship too.

 

[Nabs]

So I played a bit of Aztaka and I'm liking it. I just hope the one person who beat it (hltb) was just completely horrible at it.

 

[denx]

I don't like how you have to "grind" achievements to unlock new ships in FTL. Not a fan of that.

This. Althought I had fun with the game, I didn't feel like it was OMFGWTF AMAZING like other people do. It didn't grab me that much, and I don't really feel the compulsion to go back to it. I'll give it another try eventually though.

I played a bit a long time ago and liked it too, unfortunately got derailed with my massive backlog, but I still plan to finish it sometime.

I wish the port royale 3 cards were cheaper so I could buy batches of them and try to craft :weed:

Around $11 for the whole set?! Looks like it's the second most expensive non-foil set

 

[Dice]

Costume Quest cards only worth 8 cents. How am I supposed to afford RE6 cards with drops like these?

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Funny thing is that Science Advisor dropped 3 times for me and I didn't notice that they weren't bug eyes until this thread

that's some amateur idler business, everyone knows you idle cards in this order:

1) least popular game (less people own it, less cards, more money)
2) most expensive game (less people own it, less cards, more money)
3) everything else

But I have to redownload the other games and they are so many GB.

 

[Dawg]

So, I was checking out this game on steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/238870/

and then, out of nowhere, it was added to my wish list. I didn't add it, noticed it by accident on activity log. Funny part is that a lot of you guys on my friend list seem to have done the same thing.

 

[bronson]

Not sure where else to put this, but I think some dude is trolling Dunder Hassan's friendslist for free cards.

Guy named "President Freeday" messaged me and asked for my System Shock cards "for freeeeeeeeee" and said that Dunder "sed i wuz cool". I called him out and he said that Dunder isn't on his friendslist anymore because one of them deleted the other for more room.

Anyway, I know most of you guys know better than to fall for stupid crap like that, but I thought I'd just put a warning out there.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

I thank god for Steam's compressed downloads these days. They can still be massive, but at least I'm not downloading all 23GB~ data for Hitman: Absolution to make about 14 cents per card.

Red Orchestra though fuck that for real

Download SAM and use it to idle games you don't want to download.

The Steam Achievement let's you idle in games you don't have installed.

This is relevant to my interests.

there's some steam card idle tool that exits one game and launches another queued up once you get all the cards making the rounds out there, but it asks for steam username, password, and steamguard code

no thx

Edit: Nevermind. I see it shows me as active just by being on this menu.

Edit 2: I'm thinking of buying Darksiders 2 now but playing it later for Halloween. Is the DLC worth it?

Just wait then, it will be cheaper by Halloween.

the game is barely worth it, so the DLC clearly isnt

Anyone have a -90% Krater coupon that they're not using? Will happily take them off your hands

Huh, all this time I'd thought that Tiberian Sun was on Steam. It's my favourite of the bunch.

[The Illiterati]

I hate the Desmond stuff and just rush through it as quickly as possible to get back to the period stuff which I love and inhale like a crackhead.

And no one is forcing people to play these games on a yearly basis. I essentially took a two year break after Revelations since I didn't want to wear myself out. Since I waited almost a year to play 3 I was actually really looking forward to getting back into the series.

I'm really glad you played and enjoyed it. I was one of the people who encouraged you to, because I also don't understand the hate it gets. The games are flawed, but AC3 is no more flawed than the others, and for those of us who keep loving them, I don't mind the rough edges. AC4 looks fantastic IMO.

Shame you can't pay with blue coins in conjunction with cash. Looks like I'm only 2 bucks worth off

Iirc it's free by now.

Come to think of it, I do have a C&C Ultimate Collection key that I bought from Amazon a month or two ago but haven't yet registered.

You can buy 1000 blue coins twice if you want though for $2.

edit: Nvm, they removed the buy 1000 blue coins option. Boo.

I'mma craft the Costume Quest and Alan Wake badges on Halloween because of reasons.

anyone know if there's any reason i shouldn't uninstall human revolution if i still plan to play missing link some time? it's standalone right, wouldn't require the original game's files?

going on a bit of an uninstallin' spree, always feels good

It's not standalone, it just has a separate library entry.
