I actually paid for it. Plan to play it soon.
I get odd enjoyment from the 6-7 range games
It's a visual novel based on the book.
It really is closest to an audio book with things you can examine and limited interaction pieces.
So if I haven't read the book, and the only visual novels I've played are the Ace Attorney games (love them a lot), do you think I may still enjoy this?
The DLC is... bad tho. I mean unfinished bad, and is lacking the extremely superior Japanese voice acting (which is done by professional voice actors), but not only that, the English VA's couldn't really give a toss about it either, reading out mangled 'english' lines ("I wouldn't want to die here." "Don't worry, they'll kill before that happens." "We must help them up there above.") with no coherence at all.
Still, it's just the (free included I think?) DLC and not the main game.
Oh, it's still enjoyable. Just so you know going into it that you're not getting a classic adventure game.
Go see Here!

Ahhh ok thanks for the heads up.
Still if the DLC portion is that bad might be good for a laugh at least.
The DLC is sort of a side story about other characters, so hold it until you finished the game. Also, I managed to walk out of the world a few times because I made jumps I wasn't supposed to make

edit: second-place finish..XD
I did this in preparation for the Summer sale and got locked out of the market for over a week. So yes, unless they've changed their policy since then.

Oh wow that is bad.
They really wanted to push that out.
Well, it's PC/Mac 'DLC' only (automatically included it seems) and came out after the console releases without any actual input from Konami is my guess (hence the lack of Japanese voice and the rather... shit and unpolished gameplay in it)
Oh god this 'dialogue'... I can't stop laughing... "Oh shit! I cannot find any other words!" "Can't you feel the true taste of life?" "No, I feel I need a manicure." "We'll quarrel again now!" and yeah, I'm pretty sure this was all the Russian devs. This 'gameplay' reminds me way too much of what I played of the original Metro.
Walk walk walk, HORDE EVENT THAT GOES ON WAY TOO LONG, walk walk walk, HORDE EVENT THAT GOES ON WAY TOO LONG, etc...
Edit: And done. Yeah, the DLC is only worth it for the hilarious dialogue and total deadpan and tonally inconsistent delivery. The actual gameplay is extremely boring and repetitive.
Yeah, there are some pesky time limited scenes in the camp that are very easy to miss, one right after the first Brain Tumbler section and two after Milla's dance party. Fortunately the rest is more manageable stuff that you just have to make sure you do before the point of no return by the end of the game (the one involving

Made a post in the OT but no one responded, I've been on a 4X kick lately and was wondering if Sword of the Stars II was worth giving a go now that the enhanced edition is out and it's had a good while to become playable/fixed.
Edit: Thanks! Shame but I suppose they want you to buy it all after finding out how amazing the base game is

I'm wondering if it will be added to the humbly weekly sale (do they add games on those?)
It probably doesn't help, but since picking it up in the Indie Gala bundle I did a bit of research into if I should be playing it. Everything I read suggested that a lot of the bugs are fixed, but the game still isn't any fun.
So I haven't bothered (the ~7GB download doesn't help).

I may be wrong, but I don't believe we've seen any additions to the Humble weekly sales in the past.

I havn't picked up Dark Souls in a few weeks and this sonovabitch is the reason I don't want to start a new game. Fuck man.

You know what would be cool? If they could give us badges for backing games on Kickstarter.
I would love to have a Broken Age backer badge on my profile.

Don't let JaseC hear you say that.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
You take that back, Cate Blanchette is lovely in everything she does.

Is he talking about Cate or Saoirse Ronan?

Considering the running gag of the thread, I assumed he was talking about Saoirse.

Don't drop the soap.
You gotta be tougher on them, you pinko commie hippie liberal!
This is cracking me up.
I just imagine you going, 'oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.' As the prisoners shank each other and burn down your prison complex.

The new Ubisoft pricing scheme puts me off, maybe I'll pick it up in a sale.

When did steam update the design of the screenshot boxes? They're more square now than the rectangles used before.
That's exactly how it goes. I always quit out before complete destruction though

Everything starts off okay, I get a decent layout up and running. Usually one of the prisoners gets pissed off in the mess hall and all hell breaks loose. Before long 1 or 2 of my guards are dead or unconscious and the prisoners are murdering each other and/or escaping with the fallen guards' keys. Ends the same every time lol
They get minimum cell space allowed, could be that, or the cooks make shitty food.
Disclaimer: I don't actually have the game.
I want it, but I'm afraid I'll spend too much time playing it...

listen to the mad man
Yes. There's some excellent cinematography (Hanna's disorienting escape, the long-take with Bana in the mdidle of the film, most of the ending sequence). The main characters are very interesting. It's a little light and underdeveloped in terms of script and story--which actually stands to reason given that it's basically a dark fairy tale--but very slick. Well worth watching. And yes, Saoirse is good in it. Also great score.

Got to play the wolf among us. Good stuff. Playing around more with camera angles during dialogue and cutscenes. A lot of combat but they did a better job of putting the button prompts on relevant parts of the enemy. The dialogue system seemed identical though as far as being timed, having a silence option and the warning that says they'll remember stuff.
Is the animation still looks wonky like TWD?
Question to anyone who knows, will the game story be enjoyable for someone who bored of these adult "fairy tales"??

My current prison in Prison Architect is awesome, however, as I've allowed more prisoners in and expanded, the game has become unplayable. It lags big time. I'm going to wait until they've fixed the memory leak (or whatever is causing it), to get back to it.
My original prison was an absolute disaster, because I didn't stop the prisoners from entering before I had the main facilities up. They got pissed off waiting in the holding cell, started to riot, killed some guards, etc. lol.

Got DMC3 working perfectly.
Running right now at 60 fps with forced MSAA and AF through Nvidia Inspector. As always with console games, the pre-rendered and compressed cut scenes look very jarring next to gameplay and in-engine cut scenes.
I have the controller working, but prompts still show up in the keyboard format they had before. Press 6, while holding 3, and hitting S....
And my hands are seriously cramping up all ready!

I hope that with Microsoft using blu-ray this time around uncompressed videos and CGs become the norm without exceptions this gen. Many PS3 games featured uncompressed video and it was wonderful, was annoying that the PC versions often used the 360 versions or some weird half compressed version inbetween the two.
