I finished Blockwick 2 - 30 hours, it looks like a deceptively simple puzzle game which in later levels makes your throw things at walls and yell at clouds and as you can see from my playtime, it's not short.

Started playing Bayonetta yesterday and i am having a blast!

Gameplay is so much fun. All these combos and crazy moves you can do. Bayonetta is awesome character with a lot of sass and charisma. Oh, and there is no open-world.

I can already tell that this will probably end up being my favorite Platinum game.

Is Syberia 3 definitely coming out tomorrow? I think Armikrog got delayed the day before and it turned out to be complete shit. Neverhood was so good :/

I think it will release, it was delayed multiple times already. Regarding the quality, I don't know, can't find anything about it on the web (really strange considering usually games leak a couple of days before on console, but maybe there's simply not so much interest around Syberia 3).

Steam chat message crash explained

Back in the Windows 98 era, the Arial font didn’t support very many Unicode characters, but the Tahoma font (which was brand new) did.
So way back when, maybe 12 years ago, someone who worked at Valve added a bit of logic inside our low-level font rendering to switch from Arial to Tahoma for certain Unicode characters and then switch back.
Click to expand...

I don’t think we have a good reason for the character limit, other than the fact that our text-entry input code is just as old as the Win98 font code, and was written with a bunch of arbitrary limits because that’s how the original author did it. The text-entry code has been on death’s door for as long as I’ve been at Valve (six years) and I hope that this is the year when we finally pull the trigger and delete all it. There have been rumors of a major client UI rewrite, and if that does happen, it will happen with a new web-based framework that uses none of the old legacy code … Or so I hope.

So seems like new Steam Client could be entirely 'browser' based.
Could make it easy to mod/edit assuming Valve allows that.

It's generic "no message" that can be caused by multiple things like free weekend ending or inventory gift being granted.

Boosters won't cause it.

Bought Telltale Guardians Of The Galaxy and played it, but it doesn't show up on my community page at all, like it doesn't exist. Weird. Think that happened a few times before though with other new games.

Well, I beat Route B in Nier Automata...
But at least I get to see a new part of the game now. So that's a positive.

Anyone here who wants a copy of H1Z1: King of the Kill?

I bought it from GMG but found out I already own it, and now I can't get a refund.

Should I skip Zero Time Dilemma? Seemed like a lot of people were let down.
Click to expand...

People were let down because the end to the trilogy has an ending that puts Mass Effect 3 to shame.

The end twist and everything surrounding it is so trash, but in a way that it is fun again.

The puzzles and all the other stuff is pretty good, i'd recommend still giving it a go

Zero Escape 3 and Danganronpa 3 (Not to be confused with V3) are easily up there at the worst videogame endings of all time.

The end twist was just people not getting what they wanted. It had flaws in writing, but it was the perfect ending for this serie.

Between Mindhack. Your. Mind. Got. Hacked! and C O M P L E X M O T I V E S i have to strongly disagree.

Heavy ZTD ending spoilers
That is bad writing I was pointing at, but where I disagree and think it's a good conclusion is the fact that no matter what happens, it doesn't matter. Despite these shifts abilities, they can't run from fate and what happened will still happen. What I liked and thought it was great was, despite all these adventures, you can't change things and just have to deal with it, which was foretold in VLR by Tenmyouji. Weak stuff though, with Mindhack, Complexe Motives which just scream (finish the game on time !!) and that Mira epilogue.

I've been checking out TES Online and the initial impression is good. It feels very much like a single player TES game with DOZENS of other guys running around. I especially like the focus on exploration: you can look for skyshards that give you skill points and then there are landmarks, dungeons etc. There are also hidden skill chains that you can discover by doing specific stuff in the world (the Thieves guild, for example).

It feels like I might eventually grow tired of it, though, because it might start feeling samey after a while. Especially since global level scaling means the challenge should stay roughly the same throughout. That's a common problem for all regular Bethesda game, though.

Anyway, this is a completely different kind of MMO. Worth trying the game just for that.

You can totally play it like a sungle player Elder Scrolls and be done eith it when you finish the campaign / dlc tbh, I barely delved into the end game stuff and I only did the dungeons once really (they are actually really good tho).

I intend to do the same with Marrowind (with the new class)

Just get English Country Tune first. Cheaper, easy to source keys as it was bundled and will give you some insight as to what the devs is capable of.

Seems like 2Dark devs now officially removed Denuvo from the game http://steamcommunity.com/app/435100/discussions/0/135514823817689839/
Click to expand...

Based on recent events and the sheer amount of community feedback we received regarding 2Dark’s use of Denuvo, we have now taken the decision to remove Denuvo from 2Dark.

LMAO, do they really have to lie? They are only removing it because it got cracked, don't pretend like you listened to the community.

Found a two hours gameplay of Syberia 3.

At 1 hour and four minutes mark there's what I think a bug, so better waiting for this, even because it's a Microids game, it will get bundled in no time.

Graphics and framerate are not so good too, with some weird stuff with shadows, but maybe that's the PS4 version only, who knows.
