That was really fun streaming, glad some people dug Crypt Of The Necrodancer. Finally beat Zone 1 which is awesome. Hopefully i should start streaming more, and maybe next time my mic will be working. Unless people prefer just game audio. I am a man of the people.

Just tried the new watchdogs patch cant believe they finally fixed the stutter on high textures, the game should have shipped this way.

Just got a Evolve key. Today is looking better now.

Has anyone played Eidolon yet? It looks like something I'd enjoy but $15 seems a bit steep (also it's weird that it's exactly $15 and not $14.99).

There are some impressions of it up in the current indie thread I think.

The new artwork for Dysfunctional Systems is looking great. Sure has come a long way.

Anyways, I just saw that Eidolon is out. I recall some Gaffers talking about it. Any impressions from people here yet?

As Haunted said, we are talking about it in the Indie thread:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=866375

My overall gameplay impressions:

Technical issues aside, this is probably among the best and most unique overall experiences I've played this year. Its certainly not for everyone though, and I'll need to play more to really be able to judge how its ranking among some other games I've played this year because its a really, really slow burner. Eidolon is an exploration game with some survival elements in a surprisingly large environment. There are a lot of things to like about the game, as the fantastic ambient sound, the story and minimalistic graphics, the beautiful and diverse night/day locations and mood it creates with weather conditions, the light survival elements which add to the immersion of "being" in the world, while 95% of the time spending just walking around. This creates the issue of the player potentially being easily lost in this huge world, if you need directions or are in a hurry to play, you will not appreciate this game at all. Surprisingly, this is also among its biggest strengths, as that vast wilderness and lack of direction makes you learn to read the surroundings like no other game lately. You get a rudimentary map and a compass (amongst a few other surprises), which helps you navigating across the map once you figure out how to read the map, the approximate distances between certain spots and finding certain landmarks. Very smart design decisions, which all add up to making you to feel being "in" the environment. However, I am a bit wary of the long term perspectives, you really mostly only walk and walking from one end of the map to the other can easily take 20-30 minutes. If the game doesnt change anything this might get old eventually, but even then the game never ceases to put me in awe if I stop a second and look around me. Original and great mood, basically what I wanted Proteus to be <3

No one knows. Fan art seems to suggest that but I'm pretty sure she's wearing pants of some kind.

I played 153 hours and wasn't even sure if that's a screenshot of a to be released sequel or another big update, let alone the fishing lol.

Ok good night now for reals.

 

[StAidan]

Does anyone know if I`ll be able to stream to my laptop that has integrated graphics? Does it affect performance by much?

Late reply, but since no one else answered: It depends on your integrated graphics. I believe anything in the 2nd-gen i-series (or later, obviously) Intel processors have built-in h.264 decoding, which should generally be sufficient for 1080p @ 60fps, assuming your network speed can support it.

I just purchased an Intel NUC box with a 4th-gen i3 proc, and it streams like a charm through my wired gigabit LAN. Before that I was using an old Core 2 laptop with 100mbps LAN, and it was fine for non-twitch games, but for anything with fast action it just wasn't enough.

Thanks for that, guys. I too enjoy slower paced games with exploration and an emphasis on atmosphere, so this game will definitely move up my wishlist. My backlog and cheap nature dictates that I must wait for a sale, but I'll definitely be picking this up sooner rather than later. Thanks again for the impressions!

Yeah, Cheesecake posted his review on steam.

And here some gifs.

Looks very good.

Dammit, too late. This is what happens when you take too much time gifing.

Nah, it's all good. The more good I hear of it the more inclined I am to pick it up. I'm easily influenced and buckle under peer pressure, too.

It was added in the latest update and also a new boss.

Ah, okay. I feel less ignorant now. I haven't played it for a while. Maybe I should pick it back up again. Then again, I started a new game on my Vita a while back. Does that have this update?

Eidolon’s first move is to drop you directly into the game’s world without explaining itself. You are given no goal, no disembodied voice in an earpiece to guide you along a path towards an ending, and no objective marker. Hell, they don’t even give you a map to start with. A scooped out east-Washington valley stretches out in front of you as your red, well, green carpet welcome. For all of the pastel colors and cheery daytime design, Eidolon lets you know from the get go that it is not going to hold your hand in this massive playground. It’s easy to fall into a false sense of warmth and security after a few in-game days. The beautiful sunsets brush a delicate pinkish-orange tint across the trees. Foggy mornings give way to blue skies and occasional rain. The stars come out at night and leave you in awe of the light show. It’s quite jarring to come across the skeletal, wireframe remains of fallen skyscrapers juxtaposed over the lively brush like the violent designs of a Stephen O’Malley album cover.

It is my home state. Also that looks more like the west side of the state than east.

Terrarium didn't have achievements before? I bought it back when it was on sale ages ago and played it for 10 minutes. Thought it had some.

not yet it doesn't.. It has cards tho.. I only idled it for cards I didnt want to get sucked into Terraria but achievments might help give me some direction... when it comes to open world aimless type stuff I get overwhelmed w/o an objective in mind (and I dont know terraria well enough to be able to set my own objective)

it has online co-op I believe... once there was a GAF server iirc

Not gonna lie, I had to look pejorative up.

I guess to some, but it helps me know if it's one of those games where you walk around exploring, which are games I like, so I personally don't think so.

Sorry I don't know how up to date are the console versions.

It's cool. I should stop being lazy and look it up myself. Thanks, anyways!

I just love that art style. Reminds me of Shelter which is a game I enjoyed for its striking visuals and unique gameplay.

Looks like something I will look into. Being a full release, as opposed to Early Access, is a nice plus. Shame no achievements and trading cards of course.

Only in the same way "third person cover based shooter" is.

There have been several major post launch updates to Terraria, so depending on when you played last there could be a lot of new things in the game. I myself haven't played recently enough to know if or when fishing was added though.

Yes! This minimalist aesthetic is simple, yet delivers visual pleasure aplenty.
I'd suggest you take a look at Unturned. Similar style, but more "grounded", traditional gameplay. Doesn't hurt it being very fair free to play either.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Does anyone know if I`ll be able to stream to my laptop that has integrated graphics? Does it affect performance by much?

No issues. My laptop has IG and no problem. What you're streaming FROM does all the heavy lifting. Streaming just takes place over your internet connection.

Seriously people, Murdered: Soul Suspect needs more love. I can't believe it only has 59 metacritic.

It will get more love when it hits that sweet $5. 50% is pretty laughable when GMG had it for 75% a week or so ago

I only idled it for cards I didnt want to get sucked into Terraria but achievments might help give me some direction... when it comes to open world aimless type stuff I get overwhelmed w/o an objective in mind (and I dont know terraria well enough to be able to set my own objective)

See that funny. If I don't have a objective in a game I lose interest pretty quick.

Yeah, I remember looking at that when speevy did a giveaway for it, but I forgot to add it to my wishlist. Doing it now and will pick up with a good sale.

There have been several major post launch updates to Terraria, so depending on when you played last there could be a lot of new things in the game. I myself haven't played recently enough to know if or when fishing was added though.

Yeah, I recall something about that, but they were all after I finished playing. Will definitely go back and play it some more once Achievements come out to experience all the new content.

It will get more love when it hits that sweet $5. 50% is pretty laughable when GMG had it for 75% a week or so ago

I was hoping for a 75% discount on Steam, since it would have meant I could get it for 3 keys from some Russian. The game looks right up my alley, but I'm not gonna play it anytime soon with my backlog, so I play the waiting game, too.

See that funny. If I don't have a objective in a game I lose interest pretty quick.

I'm kinda similar when it comes to open-world games (unless they have nice exploration). Sometimes, I just make mini-goals for myself, like dig a tunnel through a mountain in Terraria. Doesn't really help though if I've already lost interest in the game.

so uh

somehow i've already played 4 hours of tits

i think if the questing system goes too wild i might start skipping some of em like i did with xenoblade but dam if ps1 jrpgs weren't amazing

like holy shit i love this

So you picked the game up? I thought you were in the wait-for-a-sale group. Couldn't resist the allure of some nice TitS, could you?

Spoiler

We're still doing tits jokes, right?

Anyways, if it affects your decision, just know that the save files carry over to the next game, so it might be a good idea to do as much as you can.

In my new job I have to travel a lot, I practically live in hotels. I'm looking for a laptop for work and play occasionally. If i can play Dota 2 very well im happy. But unfortunately I have not enough money to buy a gaming laptop(and because my gaming money is for my next The Witcher 3 PC)

I can get this machine:

14´
Intel (R) HD Graphics 4400
RAM: 6 GB
Intel Core I5 4200U

Will be enough?

Really looking forward to the second episode. I hope it's a bit longer than the first and has more options.

Achievements as well.

Might have to re-download it when it does get achievements and sink another fifty hours into that game.

depend on what you play, should be decent enough for most things, tf2/dota/csgo etc would run fine... some unreal games will probably be in lower settings and it's up to each games optimization of course..,

edit: I would never buy a gaming laptop... for a laptop I'd get something like you would get that gun run most things (except newer AAA games) and save the gaming machine for a desktop

We are getting that class episode before the 2nd I think still. So hopefully that does a good job of hyping people some more.
