Well if you don't mind checking in on the site daily then it's free games if you save up the coins.
This is totally my kind of thing. I love it in mobile games when I have to check in every day, and here I'll get coins every day and chests for streaks, this sounds great! I'll definitely make use of it. When did this service launch?
Haha then you are set. Chrono.gg as a site and strore has been around for awhile but the coin stuff started a month ago.
You had me at sup!!

Interplay continues to add their old backlog to Steam. Anyone remembered M.A.X.: Mechanized Assault & Exploration? It was nice strategy game back then.

You can get MAX 1&2 on GoG with same price though.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I'm still wondering what was troubling Battle Realms being put to Steam. It got through fine in GoG but not there.
Such awesome game. I need to replay it, GOG or Steam doesn't matter for me.
Thanks for reminding me about this

I am pretty sure that i won't be able to do this too.
I can't believe that ppl are playing it for 3rd or 4th time.

Um....
The game isnt finished...
Its like saying "I played FF7 till I am out of Midgard. Finished it!"
The story isn't finished at that point.
People really should stop calling it multiple playthroughs.
NeoRaider
Member
That's ok. I guess i will just watch it on YT or maybe replay it later. I never said that Story is finished afters 1st playthrough. It's just that i don't care so much.
Honestly i don't have enough time and don't want to play same game for 5 times (with some changes in gameplay) just to see the real ending.
Already having hard time finding enjoyment in side-quests of this game.
It's not the same game, that's the point.
Don't think of the routes as separate playthroughs, think of them more like chapters.
You don't read a first chapter of the book and say 'Who has time for this shit, I'm done', do you?

I'm at the beginning of [C] and it's just a chore so far. Doing the same thing all over again, and nothing substantial in the story department.
I guess it'll take off later?
I guess it'll take off later?
I see. Well, I got into my first game, and it seems like I ended up on a Chinese server, so I understood nothing. Didn't encounter a single enemy. It seems to be a very slow-paced battlefield kind of game. Reminds me a bit of the old Operation Flashpoint games.

I watched parts of route B on YT and it's basically the same thing. Only difference is that you are playing as 9S. Same bosses, same enemies, same missions...
Wow you watched some parts on YT? I guess you're more informed then the people who've actually played all the routes.
Things get crazy like five minutes into Route C. So yeah, it does.
I know right. The way some here on SteamGAF talk about Nier Automata makes me wonder if they even played the same game I did.

What's wrong with that? Different opinions. I am not enjoying it as much as i thought i would. I never said that it's a bad game or something. I was just replying to post talking about not being able to play 4 more routes after finishing route A. That's all.
I barely replay games, i only played few games more than once and i know that NieR has to offer more with every playthrough but i would not be able to enjoy it all. That's it.

The thing is that, unlike most of Route B, the other Routes are just continuations...
Its not "replaying the game again"...
Route B is similar to DMC4. Route C+D continue the story....
NeoRaider

I will finish route A then decide what to do. But route B being similar to route A is enough to turn me off from continuing honestly.

Route B is very short though. You can run through it pretty quickly. I played on normal and didn't need to grind or anything. Just had to make sure I had healing items.
ffs I have the controller setup properly in steam but whenever i use it with steam open all the buttons do different things, only happens when steam is open
If you aren't launching the game through Steam it will be using the desktop configuration which is set to mouse and keyboard config by default, have you tried changing the desktop config to a controller layout?
And even if you are launching through Steam, Origin and it's overlay can interfere with Steam and stop it from hooking properly, meaning it will be using the desktop config.

I took a break from NieR:A during Route B as I did think it had cool differences but not enough to distract me from other games out this quarter, but I jumped back in last night and finished B/started C and yes, it's a welcome change and the insanity dial has just been turned even further. I think I will finish off NieR this weekend before diving further into other games because a lot of the story depends on remembering details from previous playthroughs. Definitely recommend anyone that dropped off on Route A/B keep going!

People bothered with Route B can just focus on the story missions and get through it in no time.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Communication is definitely needed. Your squad leader needs to be in touch with the other squad leaders

Why does he wear the mask!?
Honestly, I just don't have the patience for multiple playthoughs of story-rich games anymore. If a dev couldn't be bothered to lay it all out the first time, why would I go back again and again to pick up the remaining bits?
Feels like it's wasting my time.
Not a popular opinion, esp. about the all-coveted Nier. But there it is.
NIER AUTOMATA DOES NOT HAVE MULTIPLE PLAYTHROUGHS IN THE CONVENTIAL SENSE.
They are chapters, arcs, acts, whatever you want to call them.
ffs how often does this have to be said.
Jawmuncher

I agree with what other people are saying though. Yoko Taro could do a better job of laying this out. Like really, what does having multiple "endings" that aren't technically endings, and a bunch of credits throughout the game really accomplish outside some "oh taro, doing things differently, that rapscallion".
I don't blame anyone for doing route A, getting burnt out and then going "wait I gotta do that again?", without knowing what lies ahead.
I think it all could have been pieced together better, Without sacrificing any real artistic vision. I think it's another case where the budget shows, obviously it's much higher than the first game. But you can tell it was still limited, due to how much repetition you could argue is there in numerous forms. Which is a clever way around such a constraint. But some people are going to notice that, and not be impressed.

Yeah if seeing credit rolls and repeating some sections counts as separate playthroughs, I must have played Metal Gear Solid V about 6000 times.

Yep. Route B has some new sidequests that go with the new ability but if that's not your thing you can just do a straight rush of the story. It'll be really quick since you know where to go and you can just skip any enemies that aren't mandatory. Some levels that took a while to explore the first time around are literally just two fights in the subsequent playthrough if you don't want to do anything else. You can even drop the difficulty down to easy and the game will play itself while you run around.
I can understand that repeating the content can feel like a bit of a slog but there are differences, especially in the second half of the game and it opens up to all new content on Route C.

I need help from people frar smarter then me on this Steam issue (at least I think it's an Steam thing).
Out of nowhere, at least to my knowledge, the mouse cursor has decided to show up in the middle of the screen during all of my games. No natter if I run them full screen, borderless or anything in between.
The mouse cursor is just there, and I have to move the cursor out of the screen so it doesn't show up during games. I've tested it in a handful of games and it is a persistent issue across all games I've played.
It's especially annoying when trying to use Steam Streaming as I can't move the cursor with my controller.
Did Valve change something in a Steam update lately that made this happen, or have I done something with my computer without knowing it?

So it seems like the Bulletstorm remastered doesn't even deserve my 1$. The original looks better almost everywhere. Im kinda sad for those who bought it for over 10$.

I'm playing Turok 2 and there's a door in level 4 that won't open when I try to go through the level a second time. That's bad enough, but there's also a point of no return between me and the preceding check point, so I'm stuck until Night Dive fixes this.

The original looks much better, wish they just removed GFWL from the original...
First Batman, then Assassin's Creed now this.
Why do developers fuck up remasters so bad? Do they port them to a new engine or something?
