I'm quite enjoying Narcissu, finished the first game yesterday and started playing the second, so far I find the story of Himeko and Setsumi in the second ep to be more interesting because I didn't quite like the protagonist's perspective of the first game.

The presentation of the game and music is really nice though.

I agree on the music, great stuff.

Still in the middle of the first one, but I'm thinking of holding it off until they've done implementing the steam achievements.

It's a crazy couple of months and finding the free time to squeeze all these releases in is proving somewhat a pain and shifting releases isn't do much to help. Looks like a few things will go on the back burner for the time being. Though just got confirmation my copy of Child of Delight has dispatched and Dark Souls II should be winging it's way to me by the end of the week. Then there's a massive gap towards the end of the month were KiD is squeezed right next to the Dogs of Watchness.

Couple that with my backlog of stuff I'll actually play I'm good for games waaaay up until Beyond Earth.

Well KiD's a short game, so you can beat it in a day or two then move on Dog Watch.

Good lord I feel like Dark Souls 2 is gonna end up my GOTY. The last time I was this thirsty for a game was Dark Souls 1. Co-oping with a friend is absolutely amazing. Even when you aren't summoned to each others worlds and you are just playing in roughly the same area figuring shit out together is amazing.

Haha amazing. Assassin's Creed always has unintentionally memorable glitches. Let me share this one I encountered when I played AC3 on the 360:

My favorite glitch was when
precisely right after I buried Achilles he appeared inside the house putting his family portrait over the fireplace, walked off in silence then said a single "good morning" after the cutscene was done.
Scared the shit out of me because it almost felt like it was intentional, lol.

Agreed. I'm only 8 hours in, but damn. This game. Having the summoning aspect improved from DS1 > DS2 makes SO much difference. I can throw down my sign and get summoned in about 30 seconds.

You might not be on your own there, Stallion - those on my friends list have clocked up some solid hours already (an average of 16 hours each):

PlayFire now tells me to never play games even if I want to unless they have been on Playfire before and expired.

Wonder if Watch_dogs will get PlayFired?

Yeah I kind of put it down on PS3 near the end due to the frame rate and tearing giving me a headache. Nightmare mode sound a lot more compelling though as those QTE finishers where getting a bit tiring. Watch Doggies will be make or break I got the feeling but I'm "believing" real hard that it's going to be awesome.

Hahahaha That's awesome. If he was there all ghostly would have been a bit too freaky. Open world games have the best glitches.

Playfire now dictatces what I play.

I've actually had a blast with Fez, Portal 2 and Dark Souls II so I see no problem.
Click to expand...

Understandable as they are all lauded (even FEZ) and I've had fun with 2 of them, 3 soon! It's when people start buying games for PlayFire rewards regardless of quality. But hey 'free moniezzz'.

It's just the English language data set, but the assumption that this wasn't possible until the distribution rights had changed hands isn't out of the question. As far as SteamDB's crawler is concerned, it's the first non-nondescript update the sub has seen at all.

Just sold a Prototype foil card from Retro/Grade I had on the marked since forever at 3.05€ and I'm like completely touched by such generosity. Today is a sunny day for Retro/Grade devs, for Gaben and for my sudden riches.

Seriously? Is $2 of store credit per game really worth the loss of free will?

If they are great games that I haven't played before, why not?

As I said I really enjoyed my time with Portal 2, Fez, and Dark Souls II, even disconnected from the monetary incentive.

You should just wait, stay patient.

It takes about 24 hours for achievements to register on your profile, more for the transfer to GMG.

The Cat lady is a very good dark point and click game; the puzzles are not very challenging but the storytelling, the humour, the music, the art and the voice acting are top notch, it's well worth the price of the bundle.

Yea, it's one of the best adventures of the past few years. Amazing storytelling.

It's a good excuse to play games you have been putting off or wouldn't normally play. In my case I only got a couple of rewards for Fez, but I wouldn't have tried it otherwise and I ended up loving my experience with the game.
