Given Games Workshop's tendency to just fling its IPs to anyone and everyone these days I just automatically assume any games based on their stuff that are coming out are going to be crap until proven otherwise, but TB's recent look at Battlefleet Gothic has got me genuinely excited. Looks like some serious effort has gone into it.

Seemed odd that to have this coming along and then have GW announce the return of specialist games but it looks different enough to have both coexist.

As the proud owner of a lovely Imperial Navy fleet, thus is getting me very excited. Hopefully it'll take off and we'll see more races added.

There's a lot of specialist games that would convert well over to PC I feel. Necromunda would be great, XCOM style combat, building up your gang and scrabbling to survive the horrors of hive life. And someone should make an Inquisition RPG already.

I genuinely hope someone can help with this issue. It's maddening and making me pull my hair out in frustration. I've googled and found lots of different answers, none of which have helped.

Has anyone else running Windows 10 had issues with Steam games randomly minimizing themselves while playing full screen? It isn't particular to a certain game and seems to occur at random times.

I've tried to look at Event Viewer with no luck. I don't see any sort of pop-up stealing attention, it just aimless dumps me back to the desktop.

Is it minimizing, or a crash just without error report. You'd be better off in the game's log files if they have them.

Have had the issue sometimes but it was generally game specific rather than an OS or hardware issue.

look, people, i'm just a lonely farmer wanting to make friends

yes, sometimes i hang out around people's houses waiting for them to come out to learn about their daily patterns

and yes sometimes i sneak in their beds in the middle of the night to gift them an apricot

and maybe i've been caught once or twice digging through their garbage

and i may have tried to milk a chicken

but all i do i do for love

God yes, there's a heck of a lot of potential content that could be added!

I remember a very long time ago at a Gamesday seeing a video for a proposed Necromunda game. Just had Van Saar and Delaque, but weirdly it was the Van Saar doing the sneaking and they also looked a bit like freaky bat people. Probably just as well it never appeared but I'd definitely be interested in a game now. With regards an Inquisition game, I don't think it's an rpg but it looks like one is coming. Looks a bit ropey though.

Time to play Hyper Light Drifter again with the Kickstarter character. I can't believe they took the time to flesh her moveset and mechanics out. What an awesome game.

They should be making the Alternate Drifter available to everyone later this year from what I understand.

Also, I did not find the game to be all to difficult after. It had some difficulty to it, but not frustrating at all. The boss fights were pretty fun too. Man this game was worth it for me.

I'm really tempted to buy the Steam controller, but I should know better than to buy 1st gen hardware from a company with no hardware cred.

It's very likely the best controller ever but you may need to spend some time tinkering with the settings for certain games. Like PC gaming itself, the results are definitely worth the effort you put in.

It's been almost two years since Kentucky Route Zero Act III got released. Let us relive the memories of that day.

Anyway, it does look like each new act takes twice as much time as its predecessor:

January 7, 2013 (Act I)
May 31, 2013 (Act II)
May 6, 2014 (Act III)

They said it was almost done back in November, so maybe it releases this year at least (which would probably mean we'd be playing Act V as early as 2020)? They also posted this thing on their Twitter a few weeks back, looks pretty good.

One of my (many) hopes is that I get to play this game before I die. It should be pretty good, or so I hear.

(already own the season pass, but never play episodic games before their full release).

Mad Max doesn't even manage Arkham combat. It's like, the prototype before Arkham Asylmum combat. It's a total bore in MM and you basically get no new moves in the game, just a few "easier win situation instant kill button" upgrades.

Even Hand of Fate, a 20 dollar indie game had better Arkham style combat.

It was indeed Bad Rats. I already own it so I've re-raffled it but included a copy of Oceanhorn to try to entice gamblers. Good luck and may The Goddess of Law be in your favour!

i feel like the arkham combat worked pretty well as one side of the batman games but it doesn't hold up well enough on its own that if that other side (stealth in the batman games, open world driving in mad max, collecting feathers in ass creed) is not good enough it just becomes kind of monotonous

it was great in the batman games tho, i didn't play the latter two but i loved those multi-man moves in city

also god damnit harvey no wonder you keep complaining about having no patients, you work like 3 hours a day and take two breaks in that time

wtf dude

Wow.

The FF15 demo drops to 1568x882, the Aliasing looks horrible, the textures look bad and it really looks more like a PS3 game than a current gen game and some people still say "It really looks great."

Yesterday someone even said it looks better than Witcher 3... Yeah...

Guys I need help. I moved my Xbox 360 wireless receiver to another USB port so I had to install the drivers again and right after that the controller disappeared from the Device Manager and it doesn't show up anymore. I tried other USB ports and nothing, it lights up but my PC doesn't recognize its plugged in. Any ideas?

EDIT: I'm on Windows 10 64bit btw.

It's probably under unknown device or something if it's one of those cheap third party ones from China. You have to assign the device as what it is manually, when I had mine. There were often instructions on the product's review pages on Amazon and the like.

That's what I always do, but after installing the drivers this time it disappeared. It doesn't show up anywhere. Even Windows doesn't make a sound when I plug it in.

Wow just based on the name I never bothered to look at it, but I've been on a real Warhammer frenzy lately (finally got around to playing Space Marine and loved it, now I'm getting back to Dawn of War 2 with Vermintide on the side). That video sold me on it.

Like a PS3 game? woot. Headache-inducing performance and resolution issues aside, I think it looked pretty at times.

I was looking at the screens yesterday and it really is not a looker, even more so with the downgrade and whatever. Squeenix must be kicking themselves for investing in Luminous and crap.

Not that I particularly care about graphics, but the 10 year dev cycle is super interesting.
