Unless you really, really want to play as the crusader class, start off with the base game and decide later on if you want more of it. The expansion isn't going anywhere.

I've been playing it on console and it's kind of a big time sink. I'm pretty sure I'm not anywhere close to reaching the main portion of reaper content after about 15 hours playtime.

I think i will follow your advice and buy the base game... after i've finished darksiders 2 =)

I lost 59, but then I booted it up on my laptop and it WORKED

I was screwed. A few people told me to disable cloud saves so the issue didn't happen again, but the setting wasn't enabled to begin with, so I had nothing to go back to.

Guys I finally got Xenoblade working for the first time ever without sound issues... Im so happy! I just wish I could import my save files from my Wii U now, having to start the game all over haha. Everything is just beautiful at 4X the resolution though.. WOW>
Is there a good guide out there to get this working with Dolphin? I keep screwing up and gave up about 2 weeks ago.

I own the game, but it looks terrible on my Wii/TV, so a higher rez would probably make me actually finish it.

For myself I actually just downloaded the newest build, loaded up my game and put the setting to 4X Resolution (you can set this at whatever you need, 2X is where it starts to look pretty good) and then then change the AA if you need. I used to have alot of sound problems and had to run it LLE sound back in the day, and it still had a problem there where it would be crackling. If you own the game though, check out https://dolphin-emu.org/. Also for help with some settings on Xenoblade specifically they have their own wiki as well https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Xenoblade. I think there is actually a topic dedicated to this stuff also haha.

What sound settings are you using? I've been having a couple of issues recently since I formatted my PC.

By the way, you might be able to import your save file. I managed to get my Skyward Sword save from my Wii U to my PC so that I could play Hero mode on Dolphin. This should help: https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-transfer-gc-wii-memory-card-saves-to-dolphin

I left my sound settings on stock DSP LLE XAudio 2. Also thank you so much for the transfer guide, gonna test it out in a minute, should be awesome since I was like a good 15 hours in on my current playthrough I started a bit back.

Five Nights At Freddy's looks kinda weird with those robot animals or whatever they are. It takes quite a bit to actually scare me, but at 2.49 it's not that bad of a deal (it's still 2.49 at humble?) Don't have a camera to show myself, but this seems like one of those games you stream at night and have others watch your misery.

That sounds horrible... but at the same time high quality leader miniatures would actually look really good.

Still, I could get behind the "ollie to go to the next turn" (using TH Ride's peripheral)

nah ... they'd probably go the Skylanders way with it ... as in: you'd have to buy each and every unit as an actual plastic figurine to use it in-game :p I really wouldn't be surprised at all ... it's activision after all :p

Speaking of skylanders, I'm I the only one in the world that wishes there is a pc version?

I have swap force on Wii U, but the ps4 version almost makes me want to get a ps4.

and I was getting horrified only thinking about map packs, mainstreaming, peripherals and other boring stuff. Now I am petrified.
It can't happen if there is a gaming god with any power at all.
also don't give them ideas!

Hmm. It might be interesting if you could actually use Skylanders figurines in Civ.

On a more serious note, I've always been surprised that Activision hasn't really tried anything against Valve yet... I can already see the name of the DRM... Bobby Blockit.

That Acti will eventually pull an EA turn B.net into its own DD service isn't an entirely uncommon opinion, but I feel that it's something Acti would have done by now -- the merger and Call of Duty's meteoric rise in popularity were seven years ago, after all.

which part of "don't give them ideas" you don't understand?!

people, you scare me, I think I'll take my leave now (><)

Maybe they felt they have not enough going on to pull that, otoh if they manage to acquire Take Two...
it's better not to think about this particular future

edited: on related topic, now when Peggle 2 exclusivity deal is over, what are our chances of getting it released on steam, realistically speaking.

So I went to start up Rogue Legacy just to get my feet wet before going to bed.

It's now 6am and I need to sleep >_>

Fun game, and the way it's set up makes it hard to quit, lol

It's a PopCap game. It'll come to Steam once EA stops pouting.

Didn't Acti embrace Steam quite early? I remember thinking that it was surprising how COD was one of the bigger franchised to fully commit to Steamworks.

Yeah, Steamworks was opened up to third parties in May 2008 and the first Acti-published game to use it was 2009's Modern Warfare 2, however there were a few stragglers that released around the same time or later that weren't Steamworks (Wolf09, James Bond: Blood Stone, Blur, and probably one or two others).

As long as she doesn't turn into Di Caprio, the last point is by far the most likely to happen.
