There was a multi-choice survey Microsoft did back at launch and "Killer Instinct on PC" was one of the options for it.

Need that.

 

[Turfster]

But how will we experience the true Ryse without Kinect commands?!

[Parsnip]

That Source 2 soft launch is exciting me more than I would have thought.

 

[Stumpokapow]

I did it but Modbot randomly generated a giveaway for Witcher 1 and 2 :l
Dunno why the other user up here make it succesfully, I'm a living file :S

You didn't put a separator between the game name and the key

You put:
The Witcher: Adventure Game LQKEYGOESHERE
The Witcher: Adventure Game LQOTHERKEYGOESHERE

It guessed that The Witcher was the name of the game, and that Adventure Game LQKEYGOESHERE was the key. It's not psychic and doesn't know what you're submitting, so you need to be clear.

Again, your best bet is to put a separator between the game name and the key. For example:
The Witcher: Adventure Game - LQKEYGOESHERE

This information and more is in the ModBot tutorial thread.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Lol, is Ryse coming to PC?
One is losing all its exclusives

oh god....not jumping into that thread.

It's not psychic

yet

 

[Ban Puncher]

Not even in a 5 dollar sale?

I'd rather buy five copies of Bad Rats to give to people and make them miserable.

 

[JustLynx]

I bought Witcher 1 on steam sale...can I activate that copy with GOG?

yeah
follow that link i left
get the cd-key from steam library

 

[NingenJanai]

I don't care about Ryse, though I apreciate the game coming to PC, the more PC games the better.

The voice commands were dumb fun but so pointless.

FIRE THE VOLLEY was the main one I remember and you could just press LB instead to not sound like an idiot.

 

[pahamrick]

This comes out later today, I believe.

Well that's disappointing.

 

[Zia]

That Ryse thread is shaping up to be as terrifying as the Halo one.

"Exclusives add value to my purchase!"

Wha-?

 

[Dr Dogg]

oh god....not jumping into that thread.

It's not too bad yet but there are a few "but my exclusives " posts but that just shows how shitty the practice is for customers on either side really.

 

[Deleted member 98878]

I'm so glad that Ryse is coming to PC. Ancient rome is a great setting.

 

[Atraveller]

That Ryse thread is shaping up to be as terrifying as the Halo one.

"Exclusives add value to my purchase!"

"I'm mad because I'm no longer special!!!!"

I'd rather buy five copies of Bad Rats to give to people and make them miserable.

In a "Ryse or Bad Rats" giveaway

 

[Strazyplus]

Congrats to wetflame!

Theres still a second chance to get a copy HERE!

 

[Strider]

This was my favorite.

Why is MS doing this? Xbox one is just loosing exclusives

So few words. So much wrong.

 

[Wario64]

Bad link

 

[cardinalmind]

Ryse coming to PC still won't get me to give a shit about Ryse.

I would though. As I was impressed by the graphics shown on the Crysis series. This looks like its in the same genre as GOW and Marlow so I might also like it.

Guacamelee! Gold Edition -- MB-89E326E8AEEFCD46 - Taken by FtHTiny

 

[StAidan]

Road Not Taken

It's on my wishlist. Definitely going to grab it at some point.

 

[Volimar]

I think it's cute that Stump still thinks that Modbot isn't psychic.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Well I hope I can try out this Witcher Game.
GOG is taking it's sweet ass time sending me a recover password email and im checking inbox and spam.

 

[KingDirk]

Modbot is how Skynet starts, right?

 

[wilflare]

I would play Ryse and Sunset Overdrive on PC.

 

[iosefe]

Sunset Overdrive on PC.

Insomniac still owns the ip, so why not? no one expected Ryse.

 

[Volimar]

Modbot is how Skynet starts, right?

It's how Skynet started, yes. We're living it right now.

[Dr Dogg]

It's on my wishlist. Definitely going to grab it at some point.

I've only had a quick play around (whilst I was meant to be doing work hehehe) so I will post some further thoughts in here later on when I get back. I got completely blindsided this came out the other day and didn't see it in the coming soon section on the store page (it might well have been there but jumbled in with lots of other stuff). John Walker had some good things to say over at RPS and bizarrely I read the Kotaku review by Stephen Totilo who also seemed to like it. Must be opposite day or something.

 

[VikasNarula]

It's on my wishlist. Definitely going to grab it at some point.

Its free on psn+ this month , i still have to try that.

 

[Atraveller]

Insomniac still owns the ip, so why not? no one expected Ryse.

Crytek is in desperate need of money, it's not exactly unexpected.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Lord Gaben has blessed me tonight.



Let's see.

 

[iosefe]

this is also true. think they had this on back burner just in case they current situation happened?

 

[KingDirk]

It's how Skynet started, yes. We're living it right now.

http://www.cnet.com/news/robot-learns-to-walk-while-damaged/

This is as distressing as that machine that can eat flies for energy.

 

[CosmicQueso]

But how will we experience the true Ryse without Kinect commands?!

I kinda liked Ryse. Wasn't great, but it was perty and the story was pretty good (I was big on Rome on HBO). Had no idea it had Kinect commands.

 

[HoosTrax]

Ryse coming to PC still won't get me to give a shit about Ryse.

This particular genre is really not my cup of tea either, mainly because the games usually feature meathead bro-tastic main characters or whited-haired stereotypically Japanese leads. A Darksiders game featuring Fury might change my mind, and I still haven't gotten around to playing X-Blades, so there might be hope in the genre for me yet.

That said, I'm still willing to shell out $5-$10 for eye candy games, for some screenshotting goodness.

 

[Levyne]

Is a PC port supporting up to 4k really that noteworthy? Or just trying to throw in some exciting buzzwords.

 

[Zia]

Lord Gaben has blessed me tonight.



Let's see.

I laughed out loud at this. Had the same reaction when I popped into Steam this morning.

 

[Hugstable]

Ohhh cool nice to see Ryse coming to PC/Steam. Will be fun to try the game since it looked so beautiful.

Well, except one...

 

[Stallion Free]

Is a PC port supporting up to 4k really that noteworthy? Or just trying to throw in some exciting buzzwords.

They just mean UI etc will all scale properly since most games support 4k and higher just fine.

 

[Deitus]

This was my favorite.



So few words. So much wrong.

I dunno, is that wrong? I mean I'm not saying it's a bad thing for us that games are coming to the PC, but why would anyone buy an Xbox One at this point except for the exclusives? Microsoft are massively scaling back on their multimedia and Kinect stuff, and the TV integration didn't end up being that big of a deal. The only benefit of buying an Xbox One at this point is "It's the only place to play X game".

So if every Xbox One exclusive comes to PC eventually (which I would love), I'll never have a reason to buy an XBO. Doesn't really sound like a win for Microsoft, assuming they want to stay in the console business.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

This is still the oddest thing to me especially with Fuse.
Pretty sure it's not under EA's discretion anymore so a port would be a interesting way to test the waters a bit I think. Game was actually a lot of fun even when I played it solo. The amount of shit on screen for a console game was pretty impressive.

I was interested in it back when it was overstrike and they were talking it up as basically resistance 2 coop: the game. The coop in R2 was the only really great thing about that game so i was looking forward to it. It tickled my PSO itch in a way that nothing before it or after it has.

Too bad it was focus tested to death and sent out to die. That EA didn't bother to push that onto (or shadows of the damned) onto PCs was and still is a shame.

 

[JaseC]

Insomniac still owns the ip, so why not? no one expected Ryse.

The cynicism there stems from the fact that Insomniac has never made a PC game before, although you could chalk that down to the company previously having close ties to Sony. Fuse was EA-backed yet didn't release on the PC, though.

 

[Atraveller]

this is also true. think they had this on back burner just in case they current situation happened?

Perhaps it was always meant to be a timed exclusive, who knows?

"Graphics are 70% of the game, no need of a story".

The CEO is in the wrong business it seems.

Is a PC port supporting up to 4k really that noteworthy? Or just trying to throw in some exciting buzzwords.

Exciting buzzword, adding another resolution support is not hard.

 

[Casimir]

just wanted to give a public shoutout to corrosivefrost for his awesome killer is dead giveaway! i won overnight and woke up to that very great surprise. thanks again!

If I recall correctly, posters who lost the giveaway were annoyed with you winning because you don't post often or something to that effect.

I've seen you post before so I don't know what they were going on about.

"Graphics are 70% of the game, no need of a story".

That's a terrible position to be taking if they wanna be an MMO/F2P studio. Gotta have low system recs so more people can play yo

Maybe that's why they're failing so hard right now

 

[rtcn63]

no rabbits were harmed while creating this giveaway

I remember back when I played FFVII on my cousin's POS Vaio, I'd manipulate the punch-bunnies near Cid's place to attack my characters, so that I could abuse limit breaks. I'd reach level 3 limit breaks in so many hours.

 

[Shadownet]

If Sunset Overdrive is coming to PC, my interest of buying an Xbox One drop to 5%.

I see the amazing Turf posted several deals going on today. Have anyone played Darksiders 1 & 2?

I only played the 1st one for a bit. Is the 2nd one any good?
