I have played for about 8 hours so far, and only yesterday did I finish a puzzle and think "I can't be arsed to do one more tonight". The puzzles are fun and there is a real sense of accomplishment when you come across one that perplexes you, but I definitely can see how some may find it repetitive or boring after a while.

I didn't ask for this
He doesn't know any other way to play games
Geralt helps him survive AC-drought.
I've done just that. I'm moments away from travelling to Toussaint; there's nothing for me to do in White Orchid/Velen/Novigrad.

Deus Ex, very nice.
Hm, hm. MCC or just straight putting the original Halo 2 PC port on WinStore?
It totally will happen they way people overhype it. That goes for every overhyped game naturally. I'm excited for NMS.
Orange don't care.

One or two story missions and skin/weapon packs most likely.

I don't know how this month can compete with last month, when a powerhouse game like Inverted debuted:

I'm not surprised Rimworld is doing so well. Building and management games are where the money is being made currently.
I would kill for the former. Always wanted to play the complete Halo series, but my xbox cosnole ownership has been limited at best. I'd even put up with having to buy from the Windows 10 store!

Skellige?
Or are you already starting Blood&Wine?
Deus EX will be another one for the pile of great games released this year that I don't have time for right now...
Now that I'm done with B&W I need to wrap up the jrpgs I'm playing on PS3&4.
EDF!! EDF!! EDF!!
Phantom Brave deserves to do better.
Bad Rats just doesn't work that well when there is so much other trash available on Steam nowadays,
Oh, duh, Skellige, too. The very first thing I did there was loot all of the sunken treasure chests/smuggler caches. It took hours as there are dozens of them and the accelerate function in boats is nigh on completely broken, but I wanted to get most of the sailing out of the way as soon as possible.

Viva Pinata > Halo 2. Just saying
The only thing I'm looking forward to getting this month is the Nuca World DLC for Fallout 4

I could have cared a bit if MCC wasn't the essence of distilled pure shit.
So, I started Suikoden 1 for the fourth time, I'm like two hours into the game and I just passed the point in which I dropped the game during the third time (when you receive the task to find a fortress), when the game exactly becomes interesting?
Because until now it's very boring to play, the plot is pretty much the same stuff you find in a lot of jrpgs, the combat system is nothing great (for now I'm level 19 with the main character, like 16 with others and what I do to win fights it's just attack with everyone, I have sharpened my weapons to level 5 and I don't even know how to find new weapons...there is no one selling them and I found none in chests I believe, while I keep find other defensive equipments, so I'm not sure how to increase my attack power, even if there's no need at the moment), a lot of backtracking for useless stuff (go here passing a mountain just to watch a two minutes cutscene, than go back where you started passing the mountain again...meanwhile, random encounters happen)... I know the "good" one is supposed to be Suikoden 1, but I can't play that without beating this one.

Yeah, going down a few lists of forthcoming releases is a bit grim. Civ 6 might take up a big chunk of my time, but that art-style is really off putting, and it normally takes a few expansions for Civ games to get good anyway.

Sailing is so nice and relaxing, just taking in the view and that beautiful music, good times.
Have fun in Toussaint, B&W is fantastic.
One of the paths even takes you to another location that might be my favorite part of the whole game.

Imagine a good MCC on PC. I would pay 60 euro for that (even without the multiplayer).

I would think they'd port MCC. At this point it's not selling any Xboxes. Though I wonder if perhaps they'd separate the titles since they never fully fixed the matchmaking.
Yeah I don't think the first Suikoden is known for being particularly interesting. It's pretty much your run of the mill JRPG and nothing else, with a terrific sequel (also, are you positive that you need to play this one first? IIRC the two games weren't linked, only some characters were transferred in case you had a save of the first game). I also tried it two years ago but couldn't keep up with the worn out formula.
EDIT: so, seems like I had things straight- the games aren't interconnected directly, they all take place in the same world but in different time frames, with some cameos thrown around here and there. If you want the "full" experience you should keep going through the first game, but if it is such a drag you might as well jump to the good one.

All these look great.
Batman tomorrow! Might wait for reviews instead of pre-ordering, hoping for a Tales from the Borderlands not a GoT!
Many of those copies were likely solid prior to launch.
Disappointing, as it's a really good game if you're a fan of Tetris/Lumines style games
The dev seems to be a great guy, and well into music (he arranges the Marioke karaoke nights). I nabbed an early-access key from his Twitter, so will raffle my Kickstarter key later today. It definitely deserves to sell decently, even if it doesn't set the world on fire.CecilRousso

Would have hoped for higher numbers for Headlander and Quadrilateral Cowboy.
Headlander is a game I know deserves more, and Quadrilateral Cowboy is something that looks to deserve much more. I guess that they're just to weird games for people, and that summer might not be the best time to launch games. Hope they have long tail sales instead.

Quantum Break on a $375 PC - PC vs Xbox One - Quantum Break Graphics Comparison
I must say, I'm very surprised to see such a budget PC with old tech manage to play one of the most technically advanced exclusives so well. Only downside being textures and streaming not being optimized for "only" 2GB of VRAM.
Pretty crazy to see amidst all the new super powerful PC hardware coming out constantly that an old i5-750 and a 760 still to this day manages to be a very solid and powerful for high-end PC gaming.

It deserves success, I just finished the question arc last night and it was brilliant. Waaay better than higurashi i'd say personally

My guess? They think the game is inferior in quality to theirs, that people only bought it because it was 15 bucks, and they wouldn't have bought a new HM/RF/SoS game with high production values for 50 bucks.
I doubt it would even enter their minds to do something like port Friends of Mineral Town to Steam and charge 10 bucks.

I think there should be a rule that we never ever EVER mention the Vita version of Little King's Story because it is NOT the version being ported to PC (the superior Wii version is the one being ported) and therefore, just like the Vita, is buried 6 feet under.

I liked the art style on that one though. Just that performance was gross.

We can always hope. The franchise has such a terrible performance in the west though. I wonder how it would do on PC.
I'll do my part and be there day 1 for Y0 as usual, a lot of the franchise's future in the west is riding on it
Are 4 and 5 really deemed 'old' already?

Yeah I'd pick that up but it's only been like 15% off?
No, and not even 3 honestly.
