So The 39 Steps is the next bonus in the Groupees Be Mine bundle. Actually looks pretty interesting to me, and is a pretty recent title.
I think this.
While it's true that graphics and especially music is great, the whole "world creating as you go" is astounding at first but eventually it grow tiresome.
And the game itself is pretty linear and repetitive, even if you use every weapon and stuff.
I don't know. At first it really seemed something else, but shortly it grew weary on me.

Morning, RE. Hope your day turns out to be a good one.
I've just waded into Alan Wake (at the beginning of the second act now) - liking it so far.
A very kind soul gifted me a copy of To the Moon today, so I hope to play through that on the weekend - very much looking forward to it, too.
Zero gaming progress today, though - just finished a 15-hour work day. :/
Almost time for everyone to start planning their gaming weekend! (or do people, like, do... other things then?)

Niiice, this bundle gets better and better.
Oh man, Alan Wake is so damn good. I rented it from red box back when I had my xbox and played through the whole thing in like 3 days.
I hardly ever get through games that fast anymore. I hope you love the game as much as I did.
I intend to play it on PC again some time since I never went through the DLC.
The DLC is very good, some of the best "episodes" in the game. Make sure to play it when you've got the chance.
That reminds me, I should really get around to playing The Missing Link =/

I've read a few reviews that say it's a beautiful adventure game. The main downside is that it is quite linear. It takes 4.5 hours on average to complete it 100% according to a few reviewers.
Just found it in my Steam library, seems they added it because I registered the free key for that awful War of the Roses game. Let's hope this one ends up a bit better.Just received an alpha key for War of the Vikings. Think I signed up for the alpha 2-3 days ago.

Good, I'm finishing Rayman Origins on PS3 in preparation for Legends and I'm almost done. But not going for 100%, some levels are hard enough to get through without picking everything up. And those speed- and chestruns...
CSGO seems to be where the money is these days, I think have to look into that. How did you get the weapon, opening these chests? And I would recommend the new Amnesia for 12,79€. But it isn't out yet.
Last night I dreamt that I sold one for $56. I awoke disappointed.
I've found that the chest levels are less of a hassle than the time trials.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadows PC |OT| Objectively Tops God of War
Sounds about right.
To open the crates you need to purchase a key, so there's an element of risk/reward. They're ~$1.96 at the moment.
Nah, nothing can top GoW.

I think we've been pretty clear that in every objective metric, Castlevania: Lords of Shadows is better than GoW.
It's funny how New Game + is less than an hour long given how overpowered you get.
Nope. What's better then?

Working for Game Trailers, are we?

1) LoS renders in a higher native resolution.
2) LoS displays at a higher frame rate.
3) LoS will be forwards-compatible with new hardware for the foreseeable future.
There. LoS is objectively better than GoW.
Haha, no. I have played every single GoW game (can't wait for the next one) also Castlevania: LoS (rented from a friend on PS3). GoW is still way better, but LoS was also incredible.
Ahh, technology. Of coruse LoS will be better than GoW on PC, I thought we were walking about gameplay and the game itself.
Nah, not God of War 2.
A few weeks back when they were tweaking Steam Trading Cards, they changed the way Steam calculated games because of the XP it gives you. In the past it even counted DLCs as separate games.

Those are entirely subjective opinions. We're talking about objective superiority.
We are not talking about Ayn Rand
I always speak the truth, even when it is masked by my sardonic smile.
Beat Ass Creed Relevations last night, while not as good as the other 2, still somewhat enjoyable. The credits popped, i figured i'd go back and do some stuff i missed, so i tried to skip the credits by exiting and reloading, but nope back at credits. After waiting 20 minutes (i tracked the time) the credits ended, I promptly exited and uninstalled the game.
Thinking KotOR 2 for my next game.

So, I finally got around to playing Weird Worlds, since someone asked earlier in the thread..
It has Roguelike elements (randomized worlds, expect to die, etc) but in a weird way it's also geared toward casual gameplay. It's a short game, but it's fun and random to try and top your previous scores, so there's that.
3 styles of gameplay (exploration, military, pirate).. different styles of ships that can be customized as you trade/buy/find new equipment.
Random events like black holes appearing, stars going supernova requiring you to escape, etc. Honestly I've avoided combat for the most part so far, as I died more often than not.
The menu has an option to simulate combat between 4 races and fleets.
Here's how my last two games went:
- Explored the galaxy, rescued a guy who joined his ship with my fleet. Went into enemy territory and was warned off. Fled to a nebula slowing my progress. System I arrived in started to go supernova - thankfully it warned me letting me flee before the explosion reached my ship. Traded with a species, found some random equipment and aliens on a planet. Went home to complete my ten year mission.
- Found a derelict ship and approached it. As soon as I got close, it unleashed unholy hell and destroyed my ship

I theorized that was the reason as well, but I figured they would have shown back up on our games list by now.

Oh god the endless credits, they do the same thing in every AssCreed. Whyyy?
And it looks like I'll be getting AC3 for free through PS+ but I think I will completely skip that and go straight to the new one.
Wall of shame.

You cant do this. You will miss the best storyline in the history of gaming.
Valve fucked up something during last maintenance and F2P games (and demo, mods, and whatever) now behave weirdly. AFAIK they are aware of this problem, so it shouldn't take that long to fix it.
Because Janet the secretary to the junior assistant to the VP of the South-East-Asian branch of the Law/Marketing division needs to get credited too damn it!
Only if you have it installed - you are playing it regularly.
Thanks. I actually had it installed on my PC once, but it was kinda annoying and didn't need it any longer so I removed it and completely forgot the name. That will do, thanks a lot!
Tunnelbear is awesome.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
So uh, where can one find a guide/tutorial for Guild 2: Renaissance? The video tutorial feels awkward.
Seriously!!! The only people who should be credited are those that ACTUALLY worked on the game. I don't care about the vp of marketing in Europe. No offense to you marketing guy.
