BTW, someone bitched at me on Steam for spoiling the ending to 10000000. 10000000, the match-3 game, it doesn't even have a story!
Well now I've been spoiled that it doesn't have a story.

I would buy xelios a 'I am an evil evil man worthy of death, please accept this game instead' gift but he has almost every game there is =/
note to self: stay away from the community section for a good weakyou are the worst of the bunch cloving
the worst
I mean even if there wasnt an option: don't fucking post it! dont mean to single you out for the sake of being evil but just as an example
I open up community today and right there and then there's a fucking screenshot of THE MOMENT SHOWING THE ENTIRE TWIST ENDING by "ClovingWestbrook(GAF)". I keep looking through them and there's screenshots of every single reveal during the last minutes of the game, the exact moments.
I would have murdered you, cold blood.

Anyone can help me buy Hospital Tycoon for steam from GMG?
I keep getting "Your Payment Provider has not authorised your purchase. This may be because some banks (incorrectly) believe that Green Man Gaming is a gambling website. Please contact your bank to discuss your order. We are working with these banks to resolve this issue." error on GMG.
Willing to pay 3 bucks for it via paypal.
I forgot I made it and I'd only used it once.
Cheers. I think I own most of those, but the earlier F1 games stand out, and they're literally cheap as chips.

Don't worry, I'll sacrifice in the name of Xelios and I will accept it, that gift will redeem your soul!

I didn't even find an option to turn off respawn (like turning off vita-chambers in BioShock). Is there one?
don't think so
IDK if you do, every time i died I reloaded the checkpoint, but they are so poorly spaced you end up getting frustrated.

Have fun going back 15 minutes.
It's utterly stupid that checkpoints aren't placed at moments where your objective changes. Who thought that was a good idea? (Also, something something manual saving.)
.. why would you do that
you get taken a chunk of money and the enemies recover almost all of their health
at least in Hard
game is much clever on how it handles that than the Vita chambers. It also makes it harder than that.
Respwaning is basically like reloading a better checkpoint that the one the game gives you.
It's depressing that more people don't know this. I'm pretty much always worried about checking out friends activity when some big game comes out.

It's pretty hard to die on hard though. I mean you have to be playing pretty poorly to die in the game apart from 1999 mode it seems.
Would be cool if Valve made it so newly released games were spoiler tagged by default for x amount of time.
there's a certain "loop" that XANDER CAGE (I felt equally bad and great saying that) also felt into
one particular boss is a bit hard on Hard, mostly because the game doesnt explain a particular mechanic involving one of the salts.
Anyway: if you die on that boss, when you respawn you can find yourself in the situation where you dont have enough ammo, and there's no place to recharge it.
that became kinda hard in an unfair sorta way. It feels like an oversight but it kinda put a different spin on the difficulty of the game for me.
It was definetly hard to die if you controlled yourself but going head on towards the enemy really just doesnt work and you gotta think around that, that's all I want.
Even if there's no spoiler option, why did you upload it in the first place? Can't you just keep the screenshots to yourself?
He gifted me me Mark of the Ninja a while back and to this day I can't find a damn thing he doesn't own yet to say thanks

The Hitman games are 75% off on Steam right now. I haven't played any of these games. Are they any good? What about Absolution? That's the latest right?
If it's any help, I like stealth-based games. Tempted to buy them all for $15 but I don't want to throw my money at crap games.

buy either just Blood Money, wich is the best, or all of them for $15
Just buy Blood Money which is the best of the bunch and one of the best stealth games ever. Absolution controls well and looks good like most modern big budget games but it plays like shit and spits on the franchise....like most modern big budget games.

Thanks for the recs, guys. Blood Money it is then. Only $2.49! Woohoo!
Interestingly, in the page for Hitman Absolution is this notice:
Lame. So if I ever move out of my country to another that doesn't include the ones in this list, I won't be able to play the game anymore? Not cool.
If you only want to play one, Blood Money is the only right choice. Codename 47 feels TOO dated now, while Silent Assassin is way unforgiving, and Absolution isn't a Hitman game.

No. I believe that has to do with buying said game. Once you buy a game it's added to your account which follows you wherever you go.

I hope that's true. The wording makes it sound otherwise.
It's just odd to think why people would upload spoiler-esque screenshots. I've had people upload Walking Dead screenshots and just send a friendly reminder to them to spoiler tag them and say maybe it's not the best idea to upload screenshots of a story heavy game? *shrug*
I can't wait to spoil Half-Life 3 for everybody.
He's right: there's an Asia-specific sub and it has the dreaded onlyallowrunincountries restriction. Still, that's nothing a VPN couldn't fix.

I would rather reply the entire encounter.
take the consequences of dying you puss!
I really pretty much did at the end, player skill goes completely out the window when they just continuously throw bullet sponge enemies at you that aren't susceptible to headshots.
It was kind of a joke to be honest with you, you had to really start 'cheesing' the encounters rather than worrying about positioning, ammo, or headshots.

Idk, headshots stayed pretty relevant for me on hard.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
IndieGameStand's latest, coincidentally enough, is Waking Mars. Pay a dollar or above to get a code for Steam, Desura, and GOG.
Yeah, that's what I do. I don't like the respawn system at all. Then I'm only playing on hard so I don't die unless I've screwed up the encounter anyway.

New MGSV interview, Kojima repeatedly states that it is running on PC, and he couldn't comment on next gen release.
He was then asked if they could expect those kind of visuals on current gen platforms, he basically said no and everything shown is running on a PC.
For bullet sponge enemies, they really didn't. For regular enemies, ya no problem.
By bullet sponge enemies I mean those guys with the helmets that didn't seem to get knocked off, or the guys
.
Headshots were pretty much irrelevant, you had to cheese them to win in that situation.
And to a lesser extent the mechanical patriots, but these could be taken care of in other ways.

Never had a crash.
If you check the PC performance thread its actually seems to be pretty common.
I probably crashed 4-5 times.
Its funny because Dark Souls gets a lot of bad rap, but I never crashed once.
playing Tomb Raider on my TV so im more comfy while using the controller
native res is 1360x768, so I can either pull off constant 60 with SSAAx2 + TressFX, or SSAAx4 with regular hair. Otherwise I get some drops.
decisions decisions
I dont really like how TressFX looks, but im interested in seeing more of it throughout the game since its the "new" thang. Might stick with it.

because imma graphics bitch
I can still see some jaggies even from where im at shut up
also the game chugs at in-game cutscenes even when they are less demanding that the sections you're playing, so uh yeah that's weird

Maybe it's hitching on masked loading?
Ugh, I might have to stay away from the entire internet until I buy it. I'm pretty sure I was like 2 words away of being spoiled in an unrelated forum, and I'm the kind of person who usually shrugs spoilers off.
