Waiting for my steam key since I bought the 18+ edition, which I haven't even opened. Those buy physical and get also a digital download editions are the best.

Origin misreports download speeds:

They're not. Origin fudges the numbers by calculating download speed using unpacked file size rather than download size. For example, if you downloaded a 200MB chunk at 2MBps but it unpacked to twice that size, Origin would say you're downloading at 4MBps because you've downloaded 400MB worth of data in that 100 seconds.

There's an "EA gonna EA" joke in there somewhere. ;)
 
Oh, didn't know that, I will try it later than.

Anyway, I want post this:

Obligatory it's an animation issue + low ADP stat (the hit does connect and DkS2 doesn't let you pass connected hits like in DkS until ADP is around 20).

Started playing Scholar, it's beautiful + scary. Got rekt by the new enemies in Heide's
 
Not sure if this was posted earlier, but I just got done listening to a pretty interesting GDC talk by Josh Mosqueira who is the current game director of Diablo 3. He talks at length about all the mistakes they made with the game when it launched, the philosophies behind their choices and what they did to fix the problems.

Fairly interesting for anyone who is/was interested in the game.

Tried the Titan Souls demo, died 10 times to the cube thing and decided to stop.
I feel like I understand what I'd need to do to hit and kill that thing but I suck at executing it.
Nice atmosphere for a pixel-based game anyways.

So, DA:I is 50% off.
Is it a good game for someone who liked Mass Effect 2/3?

It's basically Bioware's version of Kingdoms of Amalur, minus the action combat. Single player MMO with Bioware's writing to try and hold it up. Didn't work for me, but might be different for you!

Keep at it, I died more times than I want to admit against the boss with the laser ray but then everything clicked, I got him and the other two were easy.

Mass Effect 2&3 is like the furthest thing from Dragon Age Inquistion. You won't be getting a strong main campaign since the game is more about side quests. There's like 5 story missions total. If you like screwing around in areas of different size just exploring then you'll like it.

According to that Rebellion post, fullgames.com.br are authorised resellers.


They have the preorder for Magicka 2 for around 7$

I can confirm FullGames is legit. They've been around selling magazines with physical copies of PC games for a long time in Brazil. I'm not sure it accepts international credit cards as a payment method, though, or if their keys are region-locked. Buy at your own risk.

They have DmC for 8 USD, RE4 HD for 4.80 USD, Remember Me for 4.15 USD, RE6 for 5.75 USD. All of these are Steamworks.

So.... where the hell do I go on the Titan Souls demo? My character starts on completely dark world and I'm always hitting invisible walls o_O

I played Titan Souls demo too and really liked what I played. It feels better than the image I had in my head. I like these kind of action puzzle type of games. Not sure if the final game is a day 1 purchase but it's certainly seems much more likely now.

Was there really only 3 bosses in the demo? Those 4 circles in the middle of the map confused me since only 3 of them lit up and that would indicate to me that there's one more to go.

Completely dark world? Sounds like a bug.

Valve's random number generator for deciding whose links to block chose me today :(

Fuck off Valve. This is ridiculous.

Dropbox could have aaall kinds of nasty stuff! Like, porn! Adware and remote-controlled malware to annoy friends with! Pirated games! The files for Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne including tons of great LAN maps / mods / modes! My favourite albums! And all the programs I need to clean a computer of virus' and crap registry errors!

... Wait, I'm just describing my own Dropbox now, aren't I?
You could say that he's a maniac.

Sorry, I'm gone.

Don't know about that... But I am one on the flo-ooooor

I'm almost inclined to liking that silly joke. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Better edit that. Like now.

You saw nothing

Yeah, just restarted the game and it fixed itself.

I'm not saying that they did something wrong with that! It's just that I played 6 hours and felt like I was just doing stuff mechanically, without any enjoyment. So when I saw that I'd have to download those 7gb I just deleted it.

And here I am, liking what I've played of it and wishing I'd bought it with the pricemistake and all that jazz. :/

You should totally get Valve to uncouple it from your account and give it to me...

Nice post btw, or something like that. :p

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I went to download Sumatra PDF reader, and the download failed the first time. Now I'm paranoid, even though it's most likely Firefox being shit as usual. :D

Hey, atleast it's not as shit as the alternatives!

I'm legitimately hoping MS does well with Spartan. Cause just about all browsers seem to be shit atm.
10.3 hours and I'm still in Act 1 :l

Took me around 16 hours to beat act 1. And I still had atleast 6-7 unfinished, awesome quests left.

And fuck I love my Stronghold. It's... Really one of my favourite concepts for RPGs, having your own place, be it a house, stronghold or god damn castle, as long as you can upgrade it and have some fun with it. So gut.
Not the first time he said that. Be careful Maniac :/

I do my best not to be an offensive cunt, but sometimes I slip up and verbal diarrhea comes pouring out of my mouth. My bad.

Atleast I've not said the "F" word in several months now... So I'm getting there!

Can people on PC play with people on PS4 or Xbox One? I think most of my friends are getting the PS4 version.

Probably not. That would require putting actual work into this, uh, 'remaster' thingiemajig.

I was interested in it.

Then I played it. Lost all interest.

If only Vivendi hadn't fucked over Blizz North. RIP.
Glad I wasn't the only one.

Edit: wait, we're talking about my dick not working, right?

We're always talking about your beautiful, wrinkled, hairless, jasmine-scented limp dick
Lord, I thoroughly dislike errant signal. He bases all of his reviews on how coherent and political a games story is. It's like the annoying guys in my high school who wouldn't like any music if it wasn't making a statement on the state of the world.

This is one of the most intelligent things I've ever heard come out of an anus.

;'D

Seriously though, I thoroughly agree. That's precisely what Errant Signal is.

Should be called Arrogant Signal amirite
I'll see myself out.

Complete, I'm betting, tweaks the AI to make things far less hopeless, which misses the point of the game entirely.



I got excited 'cause I thought the SP part was out, but apparently it isn't, so I'm holding off. The MP was baaad last I tried almost a year ago.

Complete still manages to fuck you over to a great extent, however it doesn't actually break the game as vanilla CS did. Having played it and twice lost a main-mission NPC without any saves in sight put me off it quite a lot... Complete doesn't allow those to die though.

It's still a bitch to play though! Which I kind of love. The NPC simulations are great, if not a bit wonky and janky.

Yessir, I was aware of that and I was joking.
Also I kinda didn't expect to see almost the DOUBLE of the speed I'm supposed to get.
I mean, if they're gonna lie, at least do that in a more humble fashion.

Lol, I thought you finished it because you wrote you restarted the game!

Eh, I'm kinda crazy that way :p

But no, it'll probably take me all April to actually finish the game. At least I hope so. I can't still play PoE in May, as I need to be totally dedicated to The Witcher! :D

So, DA:I is 50% off.
Is it a good game for someone who liked Mass Effect 2/3?

It's not really the same genre as ME2 and 3, but it reminds me a lot of them both. Origins is still the best game in the series and I personally liked DA2 more than DAI as well.

I've been playing PoE and I'm sure about 60% of the moves I have I don't even know what they do. I still haven't figured out what the green bar on the side of the portraits is.

It's a problem when you like RPGs but you're lazy.
