Most open-world games bore me, especially empty collection driven ones.
I haven't found a vehicle driven game I could enjoy since Burnout Paradise.
I have no experience with or knowledge about it's source material.

Why the hell am I enjoying Mad Max so much?

Whenever I see a ramp or something I could use as one, I have to jump from it full throttle. I can't seem to be able to make progress in the main-story 'cause I keep running into shit I want to see go "boom".

Exploding cars are pretty.

Don't ever use VPN on Steam gifts.

Stop! Using VPNs for buying or activating gifts will get your account banned pretty quick.

Just use VPNs to activate keys.

Edit: too slow

Crap, thanks for the warning. Will avoid it.

EDIT: Bought Endless Legend for £7 off steam, will check it out later. Seems good though.

Yeah, I checked and they're just activation locked.

Do I just connect a VPN, accept the gift and redeem? Because it still shows my currency as pounds when I connect to a VPN on the site and client

Steam gifts are always runtime locked. Although that limit seems to be lifted after three months.

A hahaha that big dark souls news is an ugly as sin clothing collection

The Dark Souls of meme shirts.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Those seem like clothes big fans of dark souls would wear. They know their audience.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

That feel when someone would actually prefer someone to idle, rather than play their damn video games.

I know, right?

a treat for you players

Sweet. Wonder how much it'll cost.

what is this madness? Bejeweled 3 is one of the best games ever! As is Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, as is M&M: Clash of Heroes.

Anyway, I hope Dang is rated 18+, because it totally should be, it would have had scared me as a child.
I also find

Spoiler

colour

of blood to be rather strange choice.

Bejeweled is fun stuff, a classic of the match-three genre.

And I can't imagine that Danganronpa would be rated anything lower that the regional equivalent to ESRB's M. Way too violent and sexual.

 

[Lain]

But where's sword art online? We need the game from the best anime in the last decade.

Yeah, Bamco got to port those PSV/PS4 SAO games to PC. I'd double dip on those too.

[shortsFortallPeople]

I only figured out how illusory walls work in Dark Souls 2 now and I think i'm about halfway through it (just got to the saltfort). I thought it was like DS1 where you have to slash at a wall but nooooooooooooooooo it's instead like fucking wolfenstein where you mash a button against walls and hope for the best. And, of course, half of the messages that state that a wall is an illusory wall are just BS so people can get easy ratings.

How many estus upgrades have i missed? how much cool loot have i passed on? dammit. I think i can go back to at least the fire near no man's wharf and find some of them.

For the most part, they are fairly inessential.

Pharros Lockstone doors on the other hand...

I guess putting the word Amazing on a shirt would make it too hipster.

Hipster Souls is unacceptable.

I've seen that face on the floors and walls a couple of times already and just shrugged. Also, i have like half a dozen smooth & silky stone and I need to figure out what their deal is.

I guess i should check a guide out already, it's not like im having any issues with the game right now as im stupidly overleveled

edit: well, i missed one maybe two estus shards. Got some work to do

speaking of amazing chests, just found this in ETG

Tip: Go back and explore

Spoiler

the room where you fought the three sentinels. I can't remember if there's anything usefull to be found, but there are a lot of illusory walls there.

Smooth! Smooth! Silky smooth!
Yah-yah, so nice, so smooth.
Bwahk!

I've heard those voices so many times they became cute instead of annoying.
The Souls games have some strange and wonderfull voice-acting.

Some walls you do strike. Like this one.

[Maxwood]

Smooth and silky stuff you take to the birds nest.

Edit: Maxwood beat me there.

No, I didn't.

I hope the bird returns in DSIII. She's a souls regular, so she has to.
Missed her/them in Bloodborne. I don't care about Patches, gimme smooth!

Just four more day's.

 

[TheLetdown]

Another option for the smooth and silkies:

Hoard hordes of them. "I'll get around to doing something with these one day." One day comes. "Eh, fuck it."

Confession: to date, have not beaten

Spoiler

the Ancient Dragon

Failed so, so many times. I even got close on a few of those times!

I was so traumatized from trying to kill the sentinels early in the game that I just wanted to get out of that room ASAP once i won.

Which, of course, i beat them on my first try when I fought them after going through the Tower of Flames and No Man's Wharf instead of going straight there from when the bird dropped me off earlier in the game. I'll check it out!

It's a very obvious wall in No Mans Wharf. You probably found it.

I've played DSII enough to 100% the achievements and haven't beaten that sucker either.

Spoiler

Skipped Kalameet in the Dark Souls DLC as well. Dragons are the series most frustrating bosses. I don't like them.
Except for the gaping dragon. That fight was cool. And freaky.

For me the Sinh fight was like the better bossfight in the series. But yeah, dragons can get a bit frustrating.

 

[Ludens]

Completed D4. I loved it. I need to replay Episode 1 because I missed some extra cases, but the game is really good and interesting. It's weird as hell, but it's ok, it's exactly what I expected from Swery.
The only thing that sucks is the ending...really? I hope we'll get season 2, eventually.

Also, is there a way to check missing collectibles? I see you get a recap when you end a chapter, but it's only for that chapter.

 

[Balthuk]

a treat for you players

Does this mean that skullgirls financially turned out fine? I was a bit worried about these guys. And they worked on the upgrade and Indivisible at the same time? Cool

 

[freshVeggie]

How's mad max on pc? Thinking about picking it up.

A very, very solid experience. Never encountered any issues even at max settings and 1440p. It even stays well above 40fps at 4K and max settings (GTX970). All the while looking plain stunning. Devs did a magical job.
Since I assume they used the same engine for Just Cause 3, I'm only that more weirded to hear JC3 has performance issues. Very weird.

I didn't even bother buying it or anything since my laptop wouldn't be able to run it anywhere near decently.

I always imagined you play on a proper desktop PC. Any plans to get one?

400k Steam Controllers with users, revision in the works with better look and feel

I'm OK with trading keyboard (for most games at least) but I'll have to try to feel how it fares to mouse. It's really the mouse that makes me go kb/m so often.

 

[Jawmuncher]

The mouse is in dire need of a update. It's a relic of the past.

Out of curiosity, what CPU are you running? (Happy Birthday, too.)

I agree

legodude also playing ETG... good, good. All according to plan.

I want to make a Mighty Mouse joke but I can't think of any.

 

[freshVeggie]

Intel i5-4690. Non-K, no overclock. (thanks)

Whaaat? I love the mouse. It's such a good input device. Truly passed the test of time with flying colors.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

a lot of people continue to be upset about waiting 3 weeks for a Souls game?

welcome to being a souls fan on the PC! We've been doing that sort of waiting for years now!

To be fair, JC3 is doing more than Mad Max (localised global illumination, for one). I think the game would be in better shape across all platforms had it been developed by Avalanche Sweden, but definitely not to the degree that it'd be comparable to Mad Max -- it'd still be quite demanding (the fact that the latter is set in a barren wasteland versus a Mediterranean paradise definitely helps ). The PC version is fine if your system ticks all of the boxes, though.

 

[TheAutomator]

You lucky son of a lego

Haha, yes. An empty wasteland mostly devoid of people and buildings is probably an attributing factor.
An overclocked CPU with hyper-threading though... oof

Yeah. 12 GB RAM at the VERY least. I cannot imagine going through explosions or several things going on in this game without stuttering otherwise.

Which is weird because the game isn't that much of a looker, even on High. Could probably benefit from better coding.

Nice. Finally Veggie can get to play a good game instead of Dark Souls games.
