Less QTE, more sneaky-stabby.

 

[Grief.exe]

BTW, who is this guy?

 

[Deques]

What does QTE mean?

 

[Cyberquake]

What does QTE mean?

Quick Time Events. Ew.

Hats?

No... ;__;
I'm at college right now, the connection to steam servers is suffering traffic shaping, I'm downloading at a lousy bitrate.

What does QTE mean?

Quick Time Events. Disgusting

 

[Stallion Free]

What does QTE mean?

Quick-Time Event: A game scenario in which something dope happens and the players only interaction is pressing a series of buttons as they appear on the screen. See: Resident Evil 4.

 

[morningbus]

BTW, who is this guy?

Trap card activated, all according to keikaku, blahblahmemebullshitblahblah

He's Lee Won Jong, one of the stars of the show Vampire Prosecutor (Season 1 / Season 2; Also available on Hulu (S1/S2))

Questionable, terrible entertainment¡

With an opensarcmark on entertainment.

 

[Varg]

I bought it from the Humble Store and I got the TF2 items.

Would you be so kind as to link to where you bought this? I can't seem to find it.

 

[Chronoja]

Quick Time Events. Disgusting

Sorta off topic but something I was pondering. Do people who hate QTE's also hate games like Bit.Trip.Runner which are essentially QTE:The game except without on screen button prompts?

People like the hate on them because the devs were too lazy to find a way to make you look that cool in actual gameplay.

False alarm, it was a regular 140MB update afterall. Steam tricked me.

 

[nexen]

Quick, Turgid Erection

Juffo-Wup fills in my fibers and I grow turgid. Violent action ensues.

It's super cool to have a lootwhore ARPG set in a big open world with non-linear quests. In that sense it feels like the janky cousin of the ghost of what Diablo 3 should have been. It has a ton of rough edges, though, to the point that it can get in the way of the fun. It follows the basic rule that everything is fun in co-op, of course, so if you can LAN or tunnel it now that the servers are down, you can have a great time with it. If you're looking for AAA polish it will be an exercise in frustration and maybe Titan Quest would be more your thing.

Thanks. I liked Titan Quest. Still on the fence on Sacred 2. I co-op nothing, have no friends

To be honest, I enjoyed them in Shenmue because they were fairly well implemented.

QTEs now are mostly used as boring filler that gives the illusion of gameplay.

I'm terribly inconsistent about hating them. I wanted to punch someone in the mouth for most of the QTEs in Jericho, but thought Ninja Blade was hysterical even though it was 90% QTEs. Haven't played Tomb Raider yet, but I suspect I will like it because horrifying death.

Mostly I don't mind QTEs if they are very quick, one-off things that don't take too long and are hard to fail. Oh and they should have some resemblance to the current control scheme and the action going on on the screen.

To the ones who were asking about don't starve it's 20% off here http://www.dontstarvegame.com/blog/landing/buynow.html

and they give you en extra copy both chrome and steam(plus beta). If you are from europe this is even more a steal compared to steam(USD to euro conversion).Plus you get the TF2 items.

And the developers get a larger cut of the profits from the Humble Store than on Steam.

Game of Thrones games from Cyanide are the Daily Deal

You can get the RTS or the RPG for $10 each, or $17.50 for both.

Wait hold up am I missing something here? Doesn't the store usually update an hour from now? Is this because of time savings?

You would be incorrect. Even the brutal death scenes can't save QTE's in this game. I think you get about .2 seconds to press the correct button or spear in the face.

Oh, well that's unfortunate.

I can't speak for the RPG but the RTS really is not worth that price. I managed to buy it at £2.99 and at that price it was barely worth it. Who knows, maybe other people will have better experiences with it.

 

[RionaaM]

That you're playing a digital version of Simon.

No, that's not a boring or lazy game. QTEs in regular games usually are.

Also, I can't hate a game with Runner's sountrack.

Ah I see, in this case the store updates at 9 PM in mi country now.

If someone were to get a copy of Don't Starve from someone who already bought it, would they get TF2 items as well? If so, I wouldn't mind paying $6 for a copy.

You get the items, yes.

 

[nexen]

Without co-op, I can't imagine it would be nearly as enjoyable. A lot of the fun for me was laughing about the ridiculous quests (a goofy power metal band shows up in one and plays a song!) with a friend. With the amount of solid loot games that have released in the last year or so, it's hard to send people to this game.

Me, I'm waiting on Grim Dawn.

I just remembered that I haven't played Path of Exile yet.
Will wait on Sacred 2.

 

[Sajjaja]

Oh nice. Would anyone be willing to part with there 2nd copy? I could trade a copy of Civ 5 for it.

How dare you refer to Blind Guardian as "goofy" (if that's who you were referring to)

Was going to post this very same thing my good man.

Blind Guardian is probably the best power metal band ever man.

Sorry I am holding on to mine so I can trade it with "The Cave" + preorder stuffs in case anybody still has one.

 

[Chronoja]

I don't know why anybody would buy this when A Game of Thrones for Crusader Kings 2 exists. It covers both bases, really. You're managing wars and doing heavy roleplaying with the game's robust social options. Bless Cyanide for their boardgame adaptations but they fail at most other things.

Well, 2 reasons easily. 1: Crusader Kings obviously lacks A Song of Ice and Fire branding, so forget commanding dragons and the like. 2: Grand Strategy is infinitely harder to get into for most people than a general R.T.S.
edit: misread the "A game of thrones FOR crusader Kings 2 exists". That does take care of the branding thing

To be fair, Game of Thrones: Genesis has some really neat ideas, it just fails to implement them in compellingly fun ways. Diplomacy for example feels very crucial to the series, but in the game ends up being a slow exchange of envoy units as you send them to villages and hope to scare away any enemy envoys who seek to do the same.

I was going to grab the Grimrock code and put one of my own up I have a duplicate of, but some lurker took it.

Does Valve usually do some sort of Spring sale for games, or is it still just summer?

 

[HoosTrax]

Isn't there a GoT mod for Crusader Kings II?

Man even the The Cave pre-order TF2 items are worth 6 dollars alone.

Don't believe so, think the next one is Summer. (MAY be wrong)
