And if that's not an option for whatever reason I'll host it on my account for a 5% cut.
That's a fantastic idea. Get us Steam keys while you're at it.
I don't think you're ready for this jelly.

I do have like 13$ just sitting in my Steam wallet. 13$ that was intended for nothing in particular really.

11 yes, 4 no. Yep, sure looks like Steam won't let those poor little indies on their service.

I wouldn't. I doubt the DE is going to add anything to PC substantial. And Botox Lara, etc.
Thats pretty hilarious. Hope EA is taking notice.

Hmm I was playing Enslaved and the girl floated off in a Christ in a Cross pose. Didn't expect that.
Played an hour, seems nice as far as these auto-jump action games go. Except those insta-kill mines were a bummer. Last game I finished was Metal Gear Rising so I can't really give an unbiased opinion on the fighting system.

Yep.
Damn that looks pretty sweet. Plus sounds like another great Disasterpiece soundtrack.
To be fair to the guy at the time Greenlight selection had some odd choices and somewhat convoluted process. It's a touch better now but think even Gabe commented on moving away for a curated store (within reason of course). But it is 6 of one, half a dozen of the other.
Booh, I was considering buying the DC version with the loyalty discount, which is 3.99 euro. But now the daily deal raised the price instead of discounting it further
I haven't played the original Deus Ex (or the sequel that is really bad I always read)
Is this game stand alone or is playing the first 1 (2) required pretty much?

I should play it soon. What settings do I need to change to avoid that?
I did not play any of the previous games before. So I would say that you can play this game as standalone. I think there were some references from the older games.
Correct me if I am wrong, but HR takes place before the first game
It's a prequel, so standalone.
You should really play the first one eventually, though. It's still a fantastic game.

She's made of wood, that's what happens!
It's a prequel of sorts, so it's pretty standalone.
Well, like I said, I haven't really gotten it fixed either.
You need to edit BaseEngine.ini
Check the community forum for a couple of threads with suggestions. Most of them didn't really make it better for me, tho.

It's standalone, its story connections to the earlier games are little more than a few light references. You should still check out the original because if you can deal with late '90s early aughts level of visuals and world fidelity I think it's easily the better game of the bunch.

Works fine to me.
Yea I'll play the first one too at some point. Judging by the screenshots it looks a bit like a sci-fi KOTOR. And I loved KOTOR 1 and 2.

Ready to start playing Dark Souls. Do you guys recommend any mods?
DSfix and use a controller.

What version of DSfix?
PetriP-TNT

Just DSFix. DS Connection Fix is nice if you want to play with your friends but I wouldn't really recommend that for the first time. Playing with randoms is the best thing there is in the world of Dark Souls.
The newest there is.
Yikes! Is that your pic? If so have you changed anything in the BaseEngine.ini or MonekyEngine.ini? Only way the shadows are going to get that bad is if you bump up their resolution (as per that guide on SPUF) which is going to make the situation worse.
This is what it should look like
You can tighten things up by adjusting the direction and the LOD bias the shadows render at but this will effect them in other way during gameplay. It's certainly not great but that is one or 2 or 3 scenes where it's at its worst the rest of the time I've not noticed it at all.

Steam is down again?
The first game is required playing by law. You better get on that quick now that you just outed yourself.
I don't know what to make of the effect and it's increasingly common usage. I guess I kind of get the urge to find a pair of those paper red/cyan glasses, to see if it's really in faux 3D, or if the developer just randomly added nonsensical red/blue auras. I think XCOM EU has this effect as well, especially on the Skyranger cut scenes.
Yeah mine didn't look like that out of the box... at all.
It was more like Lord British's.
Is this aggravated by having an AMD card?
I just started playing Enslaved and had that issue in that cutscene as well. Luckily it doesn't seem to happen in any of the other cutscenes so it doesn't really matter.

Just saw a trailer for The Forest. Looks interesting.

Can someone confirm getting Hero Siege steam key from Royale (debut 8 bundle)? Wiki keys added has it in the list, but I haven't gotten the steam key. It's not in the bundle, or e-mail or desura.
nah, lots of people were complaining in their forums about not getting, and I myself haven't gotten some. I just gave away all idea. It might work some day, but now it's not really working.

Yeah, it's mine, and it's without editing config - on High settings. AMD card.
Come on Square Enix, if I haven't updated yet for $5, keeping the price $5 when it's on sale probably ain't going to get me to either
I am as well. It will only say "Oops, sorry!" any time I try to add something.
I just wanted to add The Dream Machine DLC, but instead I have this slightly unimportant and only minor annoyance nightmare instead.

The Rust vs. DayZ war is heating up.
Handball away, either way I'm happy.
Hmmm don't know, I doubt it would be vendor specific (I'm using an Nvidia card by the way) but before the 1.2gb patch came out the game had no options to tweak it at all. The ones patched in are a massive mixed bag. I'll go dig through my .ini files and see what mine are set to. You can disable dynamic shadows altogether but you lose character shadows.
That cutscene and one at around chapter 7 really highlight it I think due to the direction of the global lighting. Thankfully that's the only couple of times I've noticed but it's still a bit off putting.
The LTTP Dark Souls' Adventure of Copons
Season 2 Premiere
Long story short: in October or something, happened that Great Grey Wolf Sif had too much hair going on that he kicked my laptop GPU's ass. This kicked in my weak consumerism mind the idea of buying a gaming rig. After several months of stressing out the build a PC thread, I finally bought it, and of course the first thing I tried wasn't Dark Souls, despite saying it would have totally been the first game I'd have played.
BUT!
Today was kinda the perfect day to launch it again, so I did, spawning just in front of the smoky door before Sif.
Bearing in mind that after all this time I completely forgot not only how to play but also the basic controls (and here I am pushing X to swing my sword, wasting a perfectly good flask instead), I entered the door and got my ass kicked so brutally, no really, sooooooo brutally by Sif, over and over again, that I felt completely clueless.
So I just started farming around the Parish, just to get the hang of this game back. And again, Sif kicked my ass. Apparently, farming super weak mobs isn't really the best way of practicing for a boss, because it gives you the false idea that you're actually powerful, while in Dark Souls you just ain't.
So, after several other tries, I decided to stop it and I launched X3, another game where I'm clueless, but at least there is no giant wolf jumping around you when I just want to enjoy the view of Uranus, laughing because, c'mon, Uranus ehhehehhe

Pretty fascinating, and I wonder what happened to cause Rust to overtake DayZ in the first place.
