I played timeshift on the 360 and didn't really like it . Though I was in the minority. If you like older FPS you'll probably get a kick from it. Plays a lot like HL2 in some ways.

Why not enter my giveaway first?
Sorry... Eidolon did not make the cut as game #2000... and I cannot enter in good conscience knowing that I would not redeem it immediately.

For some reason when I hear Timeshift, I get reminded of Singularity. Singularity is awesome.

Nah, not unless Man Puncher and I swap avatars or something.
If milestones are such a big deal to you, then you can enter and not redeem it immediately. Unless you somehow forget to activate games like our dear friend zeroOman did

Oddly enough the games are kind of similar. When I hear one I think of the other. Singularity is miles better in my book though.
Actually, your past broadcasts of stuff will probably just get deleted instead. Anything over 14 days old is getting removed, or 60 days if you're a turbo subscriber/partner.

Definitely taking Dusks suggestion and going to hitbox if I ever decide to stream anything.
I never understood the criticism towards MGR's length. Everyone says it's really short, but it took me over 16 hours to finish my first playthrough (on Hard). I know I suck a lot, but that's still more than double the time.I'm sure the game could be finished on someone's first playthrough in 6/6 and a half hours if they speed through it and skip cutscenes.I've actually seen two speedruns of the game, one at just under 1 hour 30 minutes and another one at a little under 57 minutes, both on hard difficulty
Either way, it's a fantastic game. Sadly the tutorial doesn't explain the most useful things, and key features such as dodging are locked at first, which is a baffling decision to me.

I only had one old broadcast saved indefinitely, so that doesn't hurt me too much. If there was some sort of grace period so I could export the clean video before the contentID muted shit all over the place I wouldn't mind it nearly as much.

I'm about to finish Enemy Within and want to get more turn based alien killing action. Do the old x-com games hold up or is something like xenonauts worth picking up? Anyone here have experience with both? I do have all the old x-com games already
Huh, Eidolon sort of looks like the visual style of our next game (hopefully).
The older X-Com games definitely hold up, in my view.

I think that might be the worst part, they even say "get to exporting those videos" in the announcement as if they hadn't already started deleting past videos. Surprise mother fuckers!

I hope that Netherealm hires real artists one day, Mortal Kombat and particularly Injustice just look so bland and ugly artistically.
Calm your wallet, mate!

Just like air-parry, the dodge isn't a "core" ability. Sure, it's useful, but so are a lot of the other moves you can buy.
As for the "tutorial", they explain a lot of it, but what people don't realize is that you're supposed to play the VR missions as you find them. :lol
Yeah, and their exporter is currently unavailable due to the mass shift of people trying to move things off.

they're imo better than the 2012(?) release/2013 expansion pack but they've aged very, very badly. It's going to take a while to get adjusted to the older games as they're I think close to ~20 years old at this point. I was honestly facepalming when 2k added these to the 2k humble bundle and people were talking how garbage the games were when they probably didn't even play the games for more than 5 minutes, even if they downloaded them at all.
God damn, you weren't joking about cleaning out the vault!

It felt like the perfect length to me. If the main story had been longer, it might have begun to feel like a bit of a drag, and if it had been shorter, it would have felt like there was stuff missing. But it managed to hit that sweet spot between the two for me.
I can't comment on Xenonauts, but the original, X-Com: UFO Defense, holds up really well once you figure out how to play the game.

Thanks, I'll try out X-Com and see if I can get into it, since I got it as part of the 2k humble bundle

Another solid giveaway, but nothing that tempts me for #500 since M&MX since I already have it.
Alright so I was able to invite Hugs to my friends list on FF14 but can't invite to the Free Company unless you buy the game :/ At least I can add you all who are playing as friends for now! Just message me here, PM, or on Steam if you're on Gigglemesh and online
Once I get the full list of people I'll toss you all some Gil if it allows me to trade with you.

I wanna say Yaiba but it reminds me of that one PS4 exclusive that everyone got excited about and forgot about in a day.
The electricity hero game, ya know the one.
If you're having trouble, there's a "manual" link on the library page for a reason

Part of it is just shader configuration:

The stars have aligned.Why not enter my giveaway first?
I have given a game since winning, even before you posted this.
And Eidolon looks so, so riveting.
*praying intensifies
It also reminds me visually of your previous game.
Well, Eidolon and a mix of Shelter.

Hahahahahaha. Bunch of idiots. This will probably get tweaked to be less heavy-handed than it currently is. And judging by how big the backlash is and who it is affecting, it will probably happen fairly quickly.
Didn't know that about the VR missions, I thought they were bonus stuff that was meant to be played once the main game was completed. I should try them and play the DLC someday.
And regarding the dodge, it saved my ass several times, and was my best friend in the final boss. But if you say it's not necessary I believe you, especially after having seen your mindblowing .gifs.
