Support NeoGAF

[JaseC]

good morning steamgaf.

how's progress going on whatever it is you might be playing?

I'm gradually working my way through Rayman Origins. The time trials can be frustrating as, while the end point is usually around the midpoint of the level itself, there are no checkpoints -- if you die during a run, you have to start again, and it's easy to make a silly mistake or be a victim of bum luck.

There's still a week until Legends releases, though, so I think I'll get through the game in time.

I like watching the Japanese commercials that used Twin Peaks to advertise a type of canned coffee to get hype for Deadly Premonition.

This is amazing. But I don't know, Cherry Pie, Coffee it's normal BUT this is coming from a fellow GAFfer named Cheesecake? We might be on to something here... Hmmm.

Good morning fellow GAFfer. I've been without Internet/PC for something like10 days and when this happens It's harder for me to get back to something or starting a new game. I need to dig something different for now.

 

[Atraveller]

The problem here is that Microsoft doesn't care about the consumer, especially if it is a PC user.

Is it legal for MS to drop support and not do anything?

 

[Krusenstern]

So, the GFWL market place will shut down today. Any last words of condolence and sympathy?

Wrapped up Mass Effect 2, taking a short break to do Sleeping Dog's Year of the Dragon DLC, and then off to Mass Effect 3 I guess.

JaseC, keep at it - the time trials for Origins aren't that bad for the most part. Teeth hunting runs were much more infuriating, since you need zen-like precision to clear most of them.

I think the terms of service state as much but it's been a while since I've read them. In terms of actual legality I don't know, especially since terms of service aren't legally binding in a lot of countries/courts.

I have scrolled up and down my library several times deciding what I should play but I'm just hamletting it all day long

I'll mourn the 1 cent I spent on that AoEIII deal.

Great to see another fellow GAFfer enjoying the game. Please let me know/post when you are done with the game good sir, it was such a big surprise for me when I finished the game. I enjoyed it more than I was expecting.

I play this from time to time. I'm a little over half way through.

It's good to just play a few levels here and there. I can't marathon platformer games likes I used to.

Good luck though.

I'm trying to finish The Witcher, after a year is about time.

I finished 400 days today after leaving it for a long time.

It was... Decent enough. It'll be interesting if season 2 makes me care about anybody. For now I'm very much stuck in "to hell with everybody" mode as I choose to stay silent.

I'm also trying to open the last tunnel in spelunky. Damn that last tunnel.

Oh, I intend to. 100%ing the AssCreed games has infinitely strengthened my resolve in the face of frustration.

You've found me out, The_Monk!

When two separate events occur simultaneously pertaining to the same object in inquiry we must always pay strict attention.

I'm now playing Tiny Tina's assault on dragon keep, quite enjoyable, and I'm waiting my SR4 to unlock.

Yeah, they did a really great job with it. You are in for a real treat towards the end.

If the series had more "gameplay" moments it could have been something even more special. I'm not talking about putting on wonky systems just to have them like LA Noire but those moments where you actually have to aim and shoot were pretty exciting.

100% the AssCreed games? Sounds a lot like torment to me. Are you gonna do 100% mission sync?

 

[Fireblend]

About halfway done with Tomb Raider. It sure is taking me a while

Other than that, I've only been playing Spelunky and I should probably resume FLY'N soon. Then I'm thinking I'll do Pid.

 

[JaseC]

Oh, I've already completed the AssCreed games (100% sync all the way through) and am now waiting on Black Flag to pop up on the Steam store. The AssCreed 3 DLC actually wasn't as bad I'd assumed it would be.

Wow, I could never force myself to do that.

 

[DrTeflon]

Fellow Gaffers, any thoughts on SC Blacklist PC? How's performance? Should I go for it, get xcom or wait for a sale?

 

[Stallion Free]

Wait, you collected all the flags in AC1?

[C00kie M0nster]

I have and have done 100% in the Assassin's Creed 2 trilogy as well. I haven't bought the third game however.

 

[Turfster]

Great, so my friends whom I recommended they buy through nuuvem are getting their NA/EU Saints Row keys, but my sure bet turned out to be a total wash.
What the fuck did I do in a previous life that my karma is so fucking bad?

 

[NingenJanai]

AssCreed 3 is the worst of all, finishing it felt like a chore, no chance I'd even try 100%ing it.

 

[SparkTR]

I love how M&MX Early Access is still lingering around the top 5 while Splinter Cell Blacklist has dropped off. Not that I dislike Splinter Cell, but it looks like a good demonstration for Ubisoft and other publishers that there's a good market for PC-ass PC games that console ports can't capture.

EDIT: Just noticed the banner is wrong, Warhammer 40k is the FIRST Dawn of War, not Dawn of War II.

Won Nightsky. Thanks much.

Haha, there are only four unfortunately.

A Mystery of "G"
Cherry Pie
Lost
The Rescue

They go in order, following Cooper's attempts to help this Japanese man get into the Black Lodge to save his girl.

 

[Fuu]

good morning steamgaf.

Almost done with everything in Aquaria (I'll post about it later), then I'll focus on Max Payne 3 (just started chapter 7).

 

[haikira]

The store page for Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut should go up soon. The PC version is coming along nicely according to their latest update. They are also teasing some surprises for the launch.

Just bought this on the PS3 a few weeks ago, despite being off put by reading about performance problems. Hadn't got around to playing it yet. Very happy it's hitting steam though and I'm definitely going to double dip. I'd give away my PS3 game if I hadn't bought it on PSN.

good morning steamgaf.

Good morning to you too. =D

Couple of missions into Blacklist, being very very sneaky. Loving it so far.

Bit. Trip Runner is still killing me inside, thanks for asking.

AC1 has like 400 flags to collect that unlock literally nothing on PC.AC3 doesn't even come close to that level of tedium.

 

[Turfster]

Thanks for not going for one of the obvious ones there

Actually, going by the Japanese:
Lost is Chapter 1
Cherry Pie is Chapter 2
A mystery of G is Chapter 3
The rescue is The Final Chapter

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Bah, I kept reading Outlast as Outland got really hyped...well whatever, I can buy it on PS3 now, but it would've been glorius on PC.

I totally forgot about this game; watched the trailer on Steam and realized that the building in it is most definitely based off a famous mental hospital here in Buffalo. It's eerie:

I'm now very excited for this game.

Yeah, there are no achievements in the PC version, and while completing a set does increase your sync/health bar, you max it out as you progress through the main missions, anyway -- they are utterly and completely useless and unnecessary, even for a completionist. If AssCreed's sync rate wasn't tied to the health bar, I would have collected them, but there was absolutely no reason for me to go out of my way to do so.

Edit: Oh, the answer to your question above is "no". I maxed out the sync bar, though, so it counts.

AC2 had the feathers, which were quite nasty as well. But I just loved that game. Not so much the campaign, but the free exploration of the secret ruins made it feel special, adventurous. Loved it. However, after completing AC2 I felt like I had enough AC in my veins for some years.

 

[Nillansan]

Good morning.

I am doing a third playthrough of Bastion in order to get all the achievements, I rarely do this, but I am having a good time.

Great game. I've been meaning to do a new game plus for it and Mark of the Ninja. I might do that next month.

Is it just me that find Bastion extremely overrated?

 

[O Tavares]

The gameplay is nothing special, but the narrator along with the art style are one of a kind.

 

[Stallion Free]

Is it just me that find Bastion extremely overrated?

Nah, it's underrated if anything. I blew it off because it came in with way too much hype, but I never should have betrayed based Kasavin. The game is a magical experience.

 

[Fuu]

The only issue I had with AC1 flags is that they don't get marked on the map, neither before with map purchasing or after you get them.

I like all sorts of useless collectibles but if the game doesn't offer any way for me to know where I already grabbed one I completely lose interest. Thankfully they fixed that in the maps of the following games.

Even in Prototype I tried going after those orbs (if anything, that game had great movement), until I realized it was a fool's errand because I'd have to revisit all the spots if I wanted to make sure I nabbed them. Terrible design.

Doesn't this happen with almost every game with the same type of item hunting?

 

[Fuu]

Doesn't this happen with almost every game with the same type of item hunting?

Yep, but thankfully less and less so these days. Most devs are realizing there's no reason the in-game map needs to be crap and that it can have markers for this kind of thing.

I don't even need the map to show where's the next item, I just want it to at least check where I already got one.

 

[FloatOn]

Is it just me that find Bastion extremely overrated?

No way man. I loved the way all the weapons behaved.

Sniping in an action rpg is actually a thing in this game and it worked great.
