STEAM | April 2016 - HL3 releasing today. Left 4 Dead 3 and Persona 5 this summer

well it did take 2 and a half years to make
I am curious how much there is to it though. It is probably the next super indie that I'll wait three years for it to be in the top tier of a Humble Bundle. It would have headlined the Summer of Xbox Live in an alternate universe.

It was an X360 only title.
And speaking of Xbox Live, it's odd how bit by bit all the console games I wanted last gen came to PC. Alan Wake, Fez, Castle Crashers, Deadly Premonition, Braid, Mark of the Ninja, Dark Souls, Valkyria Chronilcles.

The only holdouts I still want on console only are the universally desired ones, Red Dead, Vanquish, MGS4. That's a short list.

I guess my point is, PC is a beast.

Hyper Light Drifter is good. If you have the money or the chance to win it in a giveaway, go right ahead and buy/win it.
Just be ready to get your ass handed to you, at least if you plan to play with KB/M.

I do wish they would add patch notes with those patches. 2nd patch and I have no clue what they're fixing.

Well one of those 2 seems to be a fix for controllers.

"Only" $20 heh. How times have changed.

So it's got a nice difficulty to it? Good

Thanks a lot to Jonathan Blow for ruining indie game prices.

Kidding of course
but I'll still probably wait for a sale to pick up The Witness
. $20 is a great price for Hyper Light Drifter. Look forward to playing it.

The thread title, oh my.

Kinda disappointed to see only one recommendation, tho. There are some really nice releases this month.

I figured. I could change my mind later and pick it up for full price, but right now I'm not feeling it at that price. That's okay though, there are other games.

I have another 980ti but it's for another PC so I'm gonna have to take it out but, should I let myself experience it in SLI even though I'm gonna have to tear myself away from it?

yeah, it's a tricky one

and it's also not a game u can just play for an hour and refund if u don't like, it took me like 30 hours to finally 'get it'

it's a really good game tho so if u find urself having the money to spare go for it

All I know about April is that it's the month before Stellaris releases.

Yep, it's going to be a long month, LP - if I had the option to hibernate and be woken in early May (or 'The Month of Stellaris', as it should be known), I would gladly. April is just a hindrance at this point, although it will bring with it more Stellaris streams and dev diaries, etc... so there's that. Should see more press and streamers and the like blessed with copies very soon.

B-b-but we must do something while Stellairs isn't released and make the month pass as quickly as possible!

The Banner Saga 2 release (19th) will do wonders for me on this.

April can do one.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?

If you have the gear to get it running SLI, it'd probably be fun to take them for a spin on a few bench marks and whatnot. I have no idea what makes for good SLI fodder though, I was going to suggest Star Citizen but I'm not sure that takes advantage of SLI yet and it's not like everyone keeps an updated copy of it around.

Witcher 3 in Novigrad with the PhysX turned up?
 
Wait, Dark Souls 3 releases in April doesn't it? It feels like such a non-event after the Japanese launch. I'd swear the hype for it went from 0-60-0 in record time.

I'm guessing Banner Saga 2 will use the same combat system as the first? I could never dig its unsatisfying mechanics.

In any case, backlogging is a rare and precious opportunity that is only getting rarer. Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut won't finish itself.

Fuck man you're that guy that could convince me to take my Uncle's expensive car out for a spin.

I'm going for it.

Are you april foolsing me? With timezone shenanigans I can't be certain.

Im more hyped for it than any game recently that I can remember. Sorry Lurker, I know the internet is just giddy to turn on the Souls games like they do to every franchise that gets too popular, but I cant join on that particular crusade. Not on this one.

i'm pretty hype cos demons and dks1 i played many years after release, so when i was super hyped for dks2 i watched tons of videos and playthroughs and stuff and by the time i played it i knew so much it wasn't too surprising

for dks3 i went the other way around, i know almost nothing about it and that's super scary but really exciting too
 
I wonder how risque Huniestuff can get before Valve pulls it. HunieCam seems pretty close to the imaginary line, to me.

Just wondering.

Mostly because I legitimately forgot about DS3 when I made that Stellaris post earlier.
