That sounds awesome!

I wish DC Universe Online was an arpg. Or a good game. :( I would totally jump on Marvel Heros if not for the fact that I'm not really a big fan of Mavel superheros outside of Deadpool, Spiderman, and half of the Avengers. I'm way too big of a DC nerd!

Whoa whoa what about X-men? :3 I love the X-men

I was going to get you Banner Saga but I guess you beat me to it!
 
I couldn't wait any longer, snapped, and bought it for myself yesterday! I love it WAY too much, omg! None of my abnormally high expectations have been crushed yet.

Great game, glad to see more people enjoying it as much as I did! I couldn't stop playing it haha.

Btw, if you enjoyed GotG (and why wouldn't you) both Starlord and Rocket Raccoon are playable characters in Marvel Heroes. Rocket is a starter hero, one of the ones you can pick when first starting the game. Groot, Gamora and Drax are team up heroes.

Well shoo :3 I don't think I'll be able to do it. I barely play any of my games on time as it is.

You could do what I did. Link your account and just go on with your life. I've got like $2-$3 I think, without even paying attention to what the rewards are.

So I stumbled across this in the Shovel Knight thread and rolled my eyes:

gA0ddq9.png


You released your game 8 months later on Steam with zero hype or interest because all you did was cry about how hard Greenlight was for you (shocker, your game doesn't really stand out in a lineup) and the game itself has one of the ugliest color palettes I have ever seen. No shit it isn't going to make you rich.

Is this the game?

Generic 2D platformer #10919585?

Basically. I bought this game on 3DS and let me tell you one thing: it's exactly what it looks. Art isn't interesting. Music isn't good or memorable. When it comes to the actual gameplay the game does nothing interesting with a few weird and a couple of bad design choices quickly making you want to drop it. It gets hard but not in an interesting way. Renegade Kid games make cash on Nintendo platforms because they have a limited selection.
 
A little something to get us started...

I'm so out of the Marvel loop that I forgot they owned X-Men! X-Men is cool! Magneto is definitely in my top ten favorite villians list, but my favorite thing about the series is the extreme nature in which Professor X and Magneto think they're the hero. And the Avengers cross-overs. Awesome!

Why isn't there a
good
X-Men game?

And omg, you've already spent too much money on me, silly! But thanks! \o/

Question on a Modbot rule :

- You must have given away a game through ModBot to become eligible for this giveaway.


Does that mean from the Moment he came online or is there a cutoff date ?

My last give away was last year somewhere .

That's really weird. Try clearing all of your cookies and data for the site?

If you're using Disconnect and/or an ad blocker, that sometimes screws up websites as well, so try whitelisting Playfire!

Well that worked, I sign in, than the page I linked eariler appears again and tells me my password is wrong...I'll open up a ticket and see what happens. Hunk of god damn junk better give me GMG credits.

How does it fare at 1080p/60fps? Good settings possible and how long do you think it'll be passable?
I planned on x70 series. But if x50/x60 is good for 1080p/60fps at good settings, it would save a lot.

There are tests for the card (Anandtech, Benchmark.pl, Eurogamer), although for some reason most of them are done in the Ultra+4xMSAA presets, which is somewhat stupid.
You don't buy a <$200 GPU and expect to hit 1080p60 @ highest setting.

Works fine so far on my 768p display, hadn't tried everything, but I gather it's possible to hit 60 fps with some IQ moderation here and there on just about every game out there.

The X-Men Legends games were great and would have been phenomenal on the PC. Maybe if they ever bring the series back we'll see a PC version.

Trust me, it's a lot more finnicky on the inside. :X

But both X-Men Legends were good! And you can use Magneto in the second one.

Oh wow, I somehow completely missed this game, lol! I still have a Gamecube and PS2, so maybe I'll check it out if I can find it anywhere.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is held in high regard. Last year there were a couple of reports that it popped up in the registry, but SteamDB says otherwise. I don't think some realise how easy it is to verify registry-related comments.

Nothing special, just a good little game.

Lara Croft 2's CE is a game + Season Pass bundle:

Also, Season Pass confirmed.

I'm curious as to the scope of this as the retail pricing I have seen so far is pointing to a full priced game.

Amazon UK have it at £34.99
To Shops have to at £34.85
Base £37.99 (might be a reseller account though)

That's about it for now so fingers crossed they are ambitious placeholders.

Yeah I was about to say Legends was pretty great.

I'm so out of the Marvel loop that I forgot they owned X-Men! X-Men is cool! Magneto is definitely in my top ten favorite villians list, but my favorite thing about the series is the extreme nature in which Professor X and Magneto think they're the hero. And the Avengers cross-overs. Awesome!

My favorite is still Cyclops, hopefully the next X-men film will have him back in a leadership role.

I doubt we'll see another entry since the developer has unfortunately been doing CoD for the last couple of years.

You definitely should, eBay prices are pretty cheap so you can get both for under $15.
 
Let's keep going, shall we?
(Note: Steam keys but still requires uPlay, I believe.)

It's been a little while since I had played enough to give some impressions. Here we go:

I finished Wolfenstein New Order the other day. On PS4, but it's a steam game too, so whatever. I am in the camp of finding it to be a pretty great first person shooter campaign, but not something that tempts me to give it GOTY status or anything. Got a bit more difficult than I expected, and then when I got to the boss of the game, PS4 error and save corruption meant I had to restart the level (at 1AM :p). Definitely recommended at a good price point.

I've then been meaning to start up Divinity, but since I only had 45 minutes of game time last night, I did another run through of Abyss Odyssey instead. I plan to pick it up for a playthrough each time the mask breaks, adding more content. The boss battle was just a bit different and tougher.

Then I downloaded Shovel Knight last night to play on my work breaks because I procrastinated a bit too much on ordering the sequel to the book I just finished. I played about an hour and a half this morning and I can see why the hype is there, although the movement is a bit slower than I expected. It seems to be very well designed as far as levels, collectibles, checkpoints, etc. And my god, the music. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the game.
