I should really finish writing my review for that, then!

Commandos Collection is $1.29 over at the humble store.
Offers both Steam keys+DRM free version.

Still dreaming of the day Commandos Strike Force comes to Steam

Not being a fan of Metal Gear, Silent Hill, or Soccer, hearing all this stuff about Konami is like hearing about an uprising in Andorra.

Like, I feel for you guys, but I'm not actualizing it in any way.

I'll have you know that the Principality of Andorra is a semi sort of tax haven for people in the EU to get cheap booze and cigarettes duty free. Any troubles over there would be treated as serious, serious business.

Whatever happened to Puar?

i forgot the little cat even existed. they wiped it out of existence bruh.

That Blackguards Franchise Bundle. So how's Blackguards, I don't see much talk about it.

Blackguards 1 is a decent sRPG. Nothing groundbreaking, but worth a buck (you got it from $1 Humble tier, didn't you?)
Blackguards 2 is very much like DA2 when compared to DA:O.



So, is Melody's Escape a casual version of BIT.TRIP Runner?

 

[cyba89]

Weeklong updated, EA devaluing their properties again

Will bite on Mass Effect, because EA only bothered to put the direct sequel in their humble bundle.

Not all of these messages are going to be from customers. Sure, the more angry and outrageous ones are, but I imagine they're also getting tons of email from the press (both gaming and non-gaming alike) as well as emails from other publishers, other modders, copyright holders, and who knows what else that may be important.

Like any business, they'll have a workflow in place that will require them to respond to a good number of these things for publicity, business, and legal reasons. Then they can ignore all the customer-generated hate mail.

But keep in mind also that they don't just have a single inbox where all of this stuff is getting dumped - it's spread out and has probably reached every mailbox in their organization. Which means everyone that works at Valve is probably dealing with sorting through these emails and finding the important ones that require a response.

I kind of ran the numbers and with 6 people working 4 hours overtime a day, it would take around 27 weeks to go through a million dollar backlog.

Probably already posted but:

RPG Maker 2003 is now on Steam.

All my WHY.jpg isn't it redundant with VX out there?

Isn't Asia (i.e. Japan) still developing tons of games on 2003 ?
Not sure why they don't want to move to VX Ace.
Probably tons of custom made scripts that wouldn't transfer well.

Still dreaming of the day Commandos Strike Force comes to Steam

I e-mailed Merge about the possibility of it having Strike Force returned to the store but was ignored, which was particularly annoying since it publishes the game on GamersGate.

Much like DA2, Blackguards 2 has an amazing review on RPG Codex

suikoden's 108 stars of destiny will always have a special place in my heart

Let me go over the specifics for myself:

• Last entry in series released on PSP in 2012
• Is anime

I don't even think my brain will allow me to process the memory of what we're talking about. Like, I'm the guy from Momento right now except I'm looking at a polaroid and the note to myself is in wingdings.

I'll have you know that the Principality of Andorra is a semi sort of tax haven for people in the EU to get cheap booze and cigarettes duty free. Any troubles over there would be treated as serious, serious business.

Amend my analogy to the Native American reservation of your choice if you're from Europe.

I got? I don't think I have Blackguards. Which bundle was it?

Is "The Four Kings Casino and Slots" some unannounced Dark Souls DLC?

 

[Vazra]

feast your eyes upon this beauty :3

Spoiler

not my screenshots

This looks stunning. Is the game fun?

oh ... it totally is provided you like rally sims ... and you liked the old Colin McRae games

and 100% user rating on steam just speaks for itself (yeah, I know it's 97% now with only 1 negative review ... but that one guy gave a negative because "no co-pilot voice" ... except there IS a co-pilot in the game ... and he has a voice )

you can't hate life, universe and everything, well, technically you can, but it never ends well.

I wish last entry was in 2012... in fact it was in... 2006. (._.)

Sort of relevant, but if anyone's thinking about getting Dragon Age Origins from the Steam weeklong, get the Humble Bundle. It's in the PWYW tier for 24 more hours.
Hell, you can get both tiers for the price of just DA:O

 

[the_firewithin]

that feeling when listening to music at work and HM soundtrack comes on. aw yiss

 

[corrosivefrost]

Wow... that daily is good if you don't have any of the Blackguards games... but if you only want Blackguards 2? It's ridiculous. Blackguards 2 as a standalone purchase is $10 more expensive than the bundle. Ugh.

--

More importantly, Dr. Dogg helped me get acquainted with MSI Afterburner... and now I know that my problems with Sacred 3 come from the fact that it refuses to use my GPU almost at all.

Dungeon Siege 3: 60% power, 22% GPU use
Killing Floor 2: 65% power, 49% GPU use
Sacred 3: 60% power, 5% GPU use

Now if only I had any idea how to force it to actually make use of my gtx 770.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Shit.

I hadn't really put too much thought about the Konami situation, but then I realize MGR2 will most likely never happened.

 

[didamangi]

Now if only I had any idea how to force it to actually make use of my gtx 770.

Try changing power management mode to prefer maximum performance on your nvidia control panel? Better change it in Sacred 3 profile though and not the global settings.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Shit.

I hadn't really put too much thought about the Konami situation, but then I realize MGR2 will most likely never happened.

That's probably too late in to cancel at this point.

 

[corrosivefrost]

I have that set at prefer max already, as Watchdogs was crashing left and right without it set that way.

I don't recall the slowdown when the game came out ... so I have to think maybe the game got a patch after the initial launch week that did something negative to the game? Or something in the nVidia drivers or the fact that I updated my BIOS recently... it's infuriating, whatever the cause.

[BronzeWolf]

damn yo

why all this konami talk all of a sudden?

Silent Hills was officially cancelled.

I think the voice thing may be a bug because someone in the other thread about the game mentioned it too...so probably something they have to patch

Checking out the steam forums and found this post. Looks like a bug, either on nvidia or the game side. You could try downgrading but eh.

 

[zkylon]

hahaha dats amazing

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

why all this konami talk all of a sudden?

They are shitting on Kojima, who was basically their income source, cancelled his Silent Hill game. I think their only big game this year is MGS5.

 

[YianGaruga]

Soon I won't need a dedicated twitter client anymore and can just follow this thread instead.

 

[Turfster]

why all this konami talk all of a sudden?

It's their new attention seeking strategy.
Drop ALL the things so they finally become sort of talked about again.

 

[Dsyndrome]

why all this konami talk all of a sudden?

Silent Hills and the slot division pulling out of the NYSE.

 

[Ozium]

Silent Hills was officially cancelled.

but this was pretty much surmised since the kojima fallout so I don't know why everyone is so shocked

edit: to other people.. who cares about slot machines? I still don't get why people are so surprised given the last few weeks events regarding Konami that all of a sudden now people are making a big deal of it.. I thought this shit had passed... I thought it was known, khaleesi

Tried that -- Dr. Dogg had me downgrade to some Nvidia driver from the week or so prior to Sacred 3's release. Which means it's probably Sacred 3's bug.

 

[TheLetdown]

Silent Hills was officially cancelled.

This + an aspect of their company submitted a request to be de-listed from the New York Stock Exchange.

Still can't wait for MGS V.

 

[the_firewithin]

Fork is just the best

 

[Kagemusha]

Konami forgot to take the quarters out of the hundreds of slot machines they scrapped in Vegas.

Well, technically speaking, their de-list from NYSE means jackshit.
