This Thief feels just as janky as deadly shadows was on arrival, that said I'm enjoying it about the same, spent 4 hours just messing around and doing the starting side quests. So sick of jamming the E key to open windows though, that mechanic is the worst.
Immersion!
But yeah, fuck whichever console designer thought of the stupid "jam this button 5000000 times in 1 second to do something" bullshit first. Thanks for ruining gameplay and innovation, reducing every action that isn't "shoot that dude" to having a toddler's tantrum on your gamepad or keyboard.
 
I went and got Go Go Nippon. I don't why I did it.

You know why just like the rest of us.

Do your parents know you're posting on NeoGAF? Now eat your spinach and go to bed.

You probably answered the question about your age wrong.

N-no! But they don't kare they let me do kool cid things like smoke and stay up past 8pm!



It started after the most recent update.... I figured it was happening to everyone. I had it set to 1990.
 
I think it's these three folders.

- appcache\httpcache\
- config\htmlcache\
- config\overlayhtmlcache\

There's another for big picture.

However, I haven't manually checked in years, just use ccleaner and ccenhancer.

Warning, use at your own risk, can fuck shit up ;).

I haven't played Jade Empire since the original Xbox release.

From what I remember it is very similar to KOTOR in many ways. The combat is more real-time, but the dialogue, party members, and story are all presented similarly.

Today is a good day:

I hope they have an option to allow specific games to be shared instead of the full library. If it's really designed for "family" sharing, then it should allow some form of parental controls, I'd think.

Well, parental controls were rolled out to everybody last month, but at this juncture the feature doesn't factor in shared games.

Edit: AllowCrossRegionTradingAndGifting was re-added to the ROW Injustice sub.

I just got bored with JE. When it turned in a top down space invader clone, I just zoned out. Doesn't help that it has a very cookie cutter cast.
 
Enjoy

so... when did steam start letting you connect to it on two different PC at the same time... I haven't done it for a few months... but before that it would spit out a message someone logged into your account thus you were logged out here, but on my main pc it didn't do that this time when i logged in on my laptop o_O;?

When in-home streaming went live. It requires concurrent log-ins.

well either way it's nice... now I can play some smaller games on my laptop while watching and chatting on my PC (darn lack of dual monitors due to having a huge tv as my monitor instead >.>)
 
Random observation about Jade Empire: The way you dodge got changed from the Xbox version, and I'm not sure I like it. On Xbox, you pressed the block button and a direction to dodge/roll, but on PC you double tap the direction you want to dodge in. Might work on a keyboard, but I'm not sure I like doing it on a controller too much. How am I gonna roll everywhere outside of battle now? :p

Native 360 pad support is nice though.

All that new Wolfenstein footage got me excited, and then I thought- hell, let's play that 2009 version.

Nowhere to be found, eh? Pulled before I built a PC. Sadness.

I have a 360 copy of 2009 wolfenstein somewhere, but 360 is boxed up and would like to just have the game in my library. Shame.
