Update 42 was posted for Divinity: Original Sin 2 announcing full voice acting at release (which was not expected given the games vast size) and showing off some of the excellent orchestrated score. Next week we can expect a number of previews from Gamescom and them showing off the Undead race/origin.

GOTY 2017 just getting GOTYer

Is it being released this year?
 
oh lord

just in case

meanwhile, Paladins is sitting here in the corner, I assume giddy aboutt their situation because they keep putting out new heroes and shit (just released another one), with the devs never once mentioning Overwatch (as far as I know).

I used to follow Cliff on twitter in fact, but his constant retweets of anyone shitting on Overwatch during the Lawbreakers betas and shit looked so desperate I had to unfollow the dude.

Is there any active voucher that is usable on cdkeys right now? Thinking about picking up Tyranny, while not really on sale, the regular price over there is 13 euros, might be playable on low 720p, either way will be the first I play once I get a new computer.

Hmh no don't think I've ever used that one, was that the one gotten through their facebook?
yup like them on their facebook page and u'll get a 5% code.
If an account uses the 5% code a lot, then they won't be able to use it; a new account must be created to use any further 5% codes.

New Steam Beta:

The Steam Client Beta has been updated with the following changes:

General
Optimized logic for selecting the best local server to connect to on initial Steam connection or reconnect after a disconnect
Steam will now use library folders on other drives to download game updates in case the primary drive doesn’t have enough space left

Big Picture
Fixed a bug where if you had set Big Picture to use a monitor that is no longer connected to your computer it may fail to start

So, Survive will release in "Early 2018", probably during the first three months of the year.
Plenty of games release during the same window, like Secret of Mana, Yakuza 6, Dissidia NT and those are just the first titles I remember, You can pre-ourchase all those titles, there are plenty of videos, even beta and demo.

And Konami just released like 6 new screenshot showing the same enviroment we saw the last year for Survive, with only some Metal Gear fanboy claiming the game is very good, wonderful etc. on Youtube.

It smells bad.

Mm I have mostly been buying cheap games, so figured 5% wouldn't do much, it only saved me 60 cents now also haha. But 13 euro versus 40 euro on Steam is pretty sweet. Almost as warm and fuzzy as the russian bear was.
 
Got stuck with my first bullshit kills in Dishonored 2.

Took out a group of 4 with Domino, the one I attacked out cold but the other 3 died for some reason. And then the game decides to burn both autosaves in the next 5 minutes before I can notice.

I had a weird experience yesterday. My brother in law is in town so I installed Left 4 Dead 2 to play it with him. First, Left 4 Dead 2 does not seem to natively support split-screen. There's a Steam Workshop thing that kinda implements it (you still need to change a .cfg file manually for the second controller to be able to aim, and also toggle an option under Keyboard Settings, and it only works with two Xbox 360 controllers, and the second player is called "unnamed" because Steam doesn't have sane profile support, and menuing didn't work properly because i got some double input issues so I had a really hard time selecting what I wanted, and the mouse cursor still appeared on loads and stuff). But even when you get it working, since the game doesn't have any auto-aim* and is balanced for a mouse, it ends up being pretty frustrating even on a reasonable difficulty. Also, I had a glitch with my character's shadow texture. And the AI is strangely deficient -- on Normal, they won't use any molotovs or throwables.

* it does seem like there's aim assist when someone is pinned down by a Hunter and you are trying to shoot the hunter

It's a pity Valve didn't give enough of a shit to get the game to a level of basic competency and parity with the console version, because it's actually a very solid game to return to. The Director AI stuff is really cool.

Yeah, when Portal 2 was updated to support native split-screen play, I figured similar updates for the L4D games would follow, but they never materialised.

Speaking of Portal 2 and Valve being oddly bad at doing basic quality of life stuff, does Portal 1 still not have proper Steam controller support?

I've always been curious about this - how much does the AI Director really change from play to play? Like you definitely noticed it? I only ever played it once (offline... by myself... *cries*) so I never had a comparison.

So i just finished the Danganronpa V3 Demo


None of the following is a spoiler as the demo is its own made-up thing seperate from the actual game

Some good news:
It runs at 60FPS, tho is also locked at that framerate a sit looks
The assets are all designed with fullhd screens in mind, so now low-texture upres.
(Still some ugly corners here and there due to it being lowbudget tho)


To the game itself:

It was typical Danganronpa fun, and in on itself pretty much about what you'd expect, which is a great thing.

The minigames are even more bullshit than ever before, which is fanatstic


I already know that the new mass panic debates are going to be confusing AF


The character art and style of the game is even better than ever before, the soundtrack is fantastic as well.


Absolutely can not wait to play this.


Also: You get a special reward if you load a demo save into the main game once released

Lol for some reason I thought I had more time to decide whether I wanted the Humble Monthly or not. Oh well... Not particularly interested in Killing Floor 2, so hopefully there's at least a couple good games in it.
 
That HL script... Yeah, I'm going to buy Wolfenstein 2 day one, i love AAA singleplayer FPS with meaty campaign and couldn't care less about multiplayer stuff in most cases, so i don't want them to die just like immersive sims. I'll never understand why Valve couldn't just keep doing both SP and online games, I'm not a big fan of HL universe, but it's still sucks when developers abandoning their legacy for something completely different.
20$? Square is nuts, nobody is going to pay AAA price for it in my region.

Why do all the danganronpa characters look the same. I'm not talking art style either. I played 1 and 2 so I know there is some ideas as to why. But some of this stuff is starting to feel like their out of ideas for character designs

I felt the same way when I first saw the character art.

Anyway, all this Yakuza goodness is amazing, what a time to be alive.
On the other hand, no news of PC versions is just baffling.

There's something in there that would appear to be a DR2 spoiler if you haven't played it, altho it's not.

Some facial features are being reused here and there, but i would't say they look the same. They all have fairly distinct designs imho

Holy shit at that price!!!!!! Why won't you just release FF6 in my region already...

Do keys bought in Humble Bundle or Square Enix site work on Steam if the game is not available for purchase in your region? I want to buy FF6 from them.
