yeah i really enjoy dead state gameplay, probably a lot more than i have any right to. just the whole mix of management and talking to people and fallout combat, it's just a lot of stuff i like combined
unfortunately right now it's kind of clunky as hell and i dunno if those things will get fixed/improved. it's tolerable for a short playthrough but it might get super annoying over 30 hours of play. kinda like shadowrun really, i could stand it for like 8 hours or whatever the first campaign lasted but by campaign 2 i wasn't having any of it.
but yeah this game having the exact same fallout combat is like no fair. just wins me over on heart alone.

11,99 freedom Dollars.
It still sounds like a hell of a lot to me! I can't even find the motivation to launch a game most nights, much less finishing several 100 hours long games. 2012 was special to me due to finishing all three Mass Effects (40 hours each) in about two months, but that's the only time I managed to do something like that.
Besides, I often stop playing games midway through and never come back, so that is some time wasted.

Where and When was it 5? Did I miss a bomba sale/ glitch somewhere?
Traders are selling AMD codes for 3-4 keys
It's definitely doable (I'm personally nearing 100 this year), you just need to concentrate on games that don't take 50+ hours to finish (basically, none or close to none RPGs/strategy games). If you like PnC adventure games, platformers or puzzle games, you're good to go.
Probably counted with the AMD radeon rewards split.

Thanks for the replies. I honestly haven't delved into that part of Steam trading so I really don't know that.
is it steam? if it is that's actually a very tempting deal
uplay.
The only two DD stores that sell Steam keys for Uplay games are Amazon (Assassin's Creed 3, Far Cry 3, Black Flag) and Mac Game Store (Black Flag, Might & Magic X).

Man, these past few weeks have been brutal. I haven't had time to game or post much. But I think I'm settling into my new routine.
I finally got to play some more Killer is Dead. That game is a lot of fun and I find myself enjoying it quite a bit. How's things, SteamGAF?
I got a new job three weeks ago and this week my sons went back to school from summer break. This gives me some time to play.
i guess i'll wait then
tbh i may end up buying ass unity just to support ubi actually trying something new for a change so i think i might just skip 4
still not 100% sold on unity cos what i watched from it didn't look particularly impressive

Fuck tomorrow.
What an awesome game. It has some flaws (most of them probably due the small budget/team I guess), but they are outshined by the rest of the game. Outstanding artwork, great music, some fantastic characters, pretty nice writing... I even loved the combat, which for what I know was kinda controversial.
Has been a long time since a game sucked me this much to its world. Not even Divinity: OS, which is a fantastic game by itself. Is amazing the atmosphere these guys are capable to create with just some gorgeous backgrounds, almost static 2D portraits, music and some fine writing. The game does a great job making you to feel the burden of leadership. It was painful to see something bad happening because of my decisions in a caravan event. And the ending, oh god the endingnot giving the arrow to AletteBEST DECISION IN MY LIFE EVER.
The Banner Saga 2, I'll see you on Day 1.
And thank you again StAidan for giving away this game.
That avatar. Thanks for not using a pic of
Onef, who single-handedly locked me out of 2 achievements that I later learned would have been guaranteed by all of the choices I made.
I, too, recently played through the game. I agree with the sentiments. It captured my imagination and really pulled me in. I liked the combat, but I would have loved to see Abilities in a different resource pool than Exertion, or at least buffed abilities. As is, I could never bring myself to spend Willpower 90% of the time on anything other than boosting attacks.
My number 1, and really the only, complaint is that
the caravan has literally no impact on the story or endgame. I lost characters (good ones!) to decisions I made to keep my caravan safe and satiated. Characters I could have used in fights. Having a ton of Clansmen, Varl and Fighters pull in at the end was effectively the same as pulling in with them all starved to death.
I felt terrible.
And I wanted Alette to know I had full confidence in her, so the Silver Arrow went with her...
I really liked the first two (even though the first one was really almost a tutorial compared to how hard the second one gets), so this is great news. What's even better is that apparently this one will support mid-level saving. I can't even remember how many times that I got halfway through a puzzle in Plus and needed to stop. I eventually was just saving screenshots of my progress so I could re-complete what I had done the next time I loaded the game.
Yeah, Hexcells Plus really ramps the difficulty up, but it's always fair. You never have to guess on any cells, and I was frequently surprised at some of the clever ways I had to use the clues given to figure stuff out.
Holy fuck, how did you play all that? It would take me a lifetime to reach 100 titles, wow.
Also, was this your first time playing the Ace Attorney games? I hope you liked them! Today I found out the crossover with Professor Layton will be out tomorrow, so I'm very excited for that (never played a PL game before).

What little I played of
Was nice, though the game clearly looks like it was designed for mobile/tablets, non the less it's a nice adventure game with simple puzzles.

Gonna make a thread about this, thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for the heads up, just picked up a copy for my brother. Once I get over my Souls phase I need to jump back in and finish this game, the art and overall style was pretty neat so far, and the whole move finishing stuff was pretty fun.

Got a question regarding some of the Sonic games-
1- How's the emulation on Sonic 1, 2, 3 and 3&K? Are Knuckles in Sonic 2 and stand alone Knuckles available too?
2- How's Sonic Adventure DX now? Has SEGA gotten around to updating it?
3- Amazon has a Sonic pack for $13ish, and based on its description, the games are separate keys correct?

I almost don't watch TV, don't have much of a social life, no children yet and bouts of insomnia to boot.
Also, I needed something to take my mind off of pre-marriage stress. Before I knew it I was over the 52 line...
Nah, just the Gyakuten Keiji 2 and AA5 I'm playing at the moment are new. Rest was replays (although from a clear save, so no text skipping).
I like the games, true, although I can't help but feel the formula is getting a bit old in the tooth.

Shit,i thought i easily had the 52 games challenge met but it appears that i'm about 6 short, depending on how you count each game.
It's a pain in the ass to go looking through my trophies, then looking at my download list for games i've finished that don't have trophies (PSP GAMES I HATE YOU), then checking Steam cheevos, then realizing how many steam games i finished that didn't have cheevos, then trying to remember my non-steam games (origins/Uplay nonsense), then remembering that I also owned a WiiU, then remembering if i played anything on it in the last 8 months, then while doing that remember that I actually played a couple of things on my ipad...
Also, how are people approaching DLC on that thing? I finished 3 sleeping dawgs DLCs. Does that count as 3 separate entries? Last, what about games i played but said, naw fuck it this shit stinks and I'm never, ever going back to? For me, i'm "finished" with that game but technically I didn't complete it.
Maybe the wrong thread for this but since i've being seeing some steambros doing this i figured i'd try asking about this stuff here first.

Yeah, I don't think I would be able to play all the Ace Attorney games back to back like that, I love them but they are all very similar and each game was like 20 hours long (at least for me). Speaking of DS VN have you played the Zero Escape series (999)? Also congrats on so many games finished this year, once I start my tally up I'll be joining in on the fun, but it's gonna be tough to finish around another 20 games before years end haha.
Personally I would count DLC myself if they are longer than an 2 hours atleast since that's atleast some gametime more than some other games require at times haha. Also myself I would count a game as being "finished" when completed, but I don't worry about trophies or achievements in that. If I can start a game, not like it and not beat it and call it "finished" I'd probably be at 100 games done this year lol.
Use backloggery to keep track of your games.
It will be my first time playing the Ace Attorney games when I pick up the Trilogy this Fall.
Looks like Capcom is putting some effort into this port.

I was gone for a week on Vacation I hope I didn't miss too much
Is it just me, or does it feel like "the Crew"'s cars have no grip? Like I can take corners but it's a 50/50 chance if I'm going to "drift" or actually be able to hold the corner with speed. It's kinda crazy.

Well hot damn, its a Christmas miracle!
Isn't it more of an arcade style racer anyway? Physics on those games, especially when it comes to drifting and grip are always pretty wonky.

Well, when i mean "finished" i don't mean a couple of minutes of play, messing around, and then moving on. I mean that i put at least a couple of hours into it before walking away after making a serious attempt at playing the game and going in with the intention of completing it. With the Witcher 1, for example, i put 16-17 hours into it before i hit a wall in the game that just left me no longer wanting to play it. To me, that game is done, i have scratched it off my personal backlog, and will never again try to finish it.
ok, gonna check it out. Thanks!
keeping track of backlog (using backloggery too) is too much work in itself and takes time that can be dedicated to playing games, just telling. It's OK if you like to do it, but it's certainly not for everyone.
Just will poke my nose into this to say, that BoF4 is great, only it doesn't run all that well for me, but some steamgafer said they had no problems with it.

I have the Mega Man X collection on PS2 for emulation, but Capcom should remaster the games for PC/current-gen.
Not that I really trust Capcom to do it faithfully at this point.
That's interesting.
