When is the release date for Oddworld: New and Tasty?

TBA.

Should I look for any graphics mods for Mirror's Edge? I've seen some screens of it on Steam and it looks amazing, but I can't tell if it's vanilla or not.

I don't think there are many graphic mods, the game looks amazing as it is but there's something you could do to improve performance for nvidia gpus:

The game runs really well with the performance tweak so you could probably downsample the game from a higher resolution too.

 

[Easton Dark]

But shouldn't DLC only be considered when you have completed the base game and want more?

Not in Bethesda games where who knows which DLC that mod you want to use requires. Neither in Bethesda games where it will end up costing you significantly more buying the DLC later than if you got it all at once.

Some games, yes, treat DLC as extra. Bethesda games, nah. Besides, Bethesda DLC post-horse armor has all been pretty good except for Hearthfire.

Some of the latter Unreal Engines have been difficult to get mods going in. If you just downsample the game it still looks amazing.

Thanks JaseC and Turfster.

I guess I rather wait till GMG has a 50% sale on that and then I can finally use my credits

Looks like I'll be downsampling for the first time then!

Yeah, it's basically "do I want this? Eh. Maybe at 75% off... or when it's free on PS+" at the moment. AC3 totally torpedoed my interest in the franchise. Good job, Ubi.

That Worms giveaway is the greatest giveaway in the history of giveaways.

Game looks stunning as is (maybe try downsampling if you can as Grief mentioned). You could use generic ENB or SFX but since the game is really color-sensitive you would probably have to tweak it alot to look better than vanilla in all levels.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Thats the same for me. But wanted to try the new one then, since Unity is coming out soon.

Btw. anyone knows the price for the Tropico 4 Bundle? A ToD ticket or is that already too much?

The deals don't change on the AU store for another 2.5 hours. FlyVPN has a free server in Australia (use the "vpnu" account).

I haven't been able to buy anything from Uplay when using VPN since last year, even tried a new account, I think they plugged a few holes.

Found "The Cat Lady" in my library and looked at some videos to check it out. This game is really creepy, but the soundtrack is pretty good though.

It's really good and interesting. If you're OK with the subject matter (depression and suicide), it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it a try.

Honestly, here parents would have and have supported the clerk in situations like these. I have seen it many times. Brat behaves very rude/stupid -> clerk threatens -> parents side with clerk. I don't see anything wrong with that.
Anyhow, dude I fell asleep yesterday; total knock-out I think it's the meds I take. They make me sleepy. Sorry, really wanted to play CS:GO

There's another story I should tell you guys.

Spoiler

Months ago. There was a little 10 years old girl that came in with her father. Apparently they were going to get a 3DS game.She was adorable. They spent a good amount of time looking at the selection. Nothing is wrong with that, I even help recommended some stuff. Anyway near the end before I ring them up. The girl started asking to get 2 games instead of 1. Her dad was kinda looking like he might comply. But he was still saying no. She grab the 2nd game and put it on the table and said.

"Oh don't mind my daddy, ring this out for me. He's just being a little ____" (she just cut off right there and give him the *you're a bitch* look.)

I kid you not. I stood there in disbelief at what was going on. I didn't say anything and waited for the father response. He finally caved and they ended up getting both and walked out. She was super happy. And before the dad left I look at him and gave him a (dude...your child is a demon) look. He smile a bit nod in agreement and left.

She was completely spoiled by him and wow she was mean.

I notice such behaviour a lot in China. Since most people are only-childs, they get spoiled so much by their parents, that they think they can get anything.
And they do.

Even when they have a job and are like 26/27, they can still get whatever they want...

People were buying Tropico 5 for 14c earlier in the year. Disabling Javascript being a requirement seems like a "maybe" judging from the comments.

How's Cave Story+? Only saw videos of the 3DS version and I liked the style. But the steam version looks very different. I am not shallow but I'd prefer the 3DS visuals.
How does it play, is it fun?

It's a very competent (sigh) Metroidvania. Totally worth playing. Also the inspiration of many many many many many many


many current indie games.

Some of the latter Unreal Engines have been difficult to get mods going in. If you just downsample the game it still looks amazing.

Mirrors Edge looks absolutely amazing at times, then they ruin it with super low quality textures/decals and awful cutscenes.

Can you give me some impressions? I've been wanting to get it. But haven't pull the trigger yet.

Sure.. I've never done impressions before but here it goes lol.

So you basically are just in prison. There's not really any tutorial. They just tell you how to move, how to toggle whether you want to attack someone, etc.

You go along with your day. Morning roll call, morning breakfast, free time or work time (if you have a job), and so on. During free time you can go to the gym and work on your strength/speed or go to the library and work on your intelligence.

You'll also notice prisoners with a green icon on their head and prisoners with a yellow icon on their head. If it's green it means they need a favor (like Gregg stole my watch, can you get it back for me? I'll pay you $13). If it's yellow it means they have things for sale (screwdriver, guard outfit, crafting notes, etc).

So of course you can craft items. You can buy items, steal from other prisoners cells, etc. They don't tell you what goes together to craft things. So you can either just try different combinations or get crafting notes. If you get frustrated you can always look at the crafting guide online.

So far I've chipped away a wall panel in my cell at night. I'm trying to save up to buy a step ladder because I have no idea how to get up in the vents lol. I got fired from my laundry job. I might either try to get it back or keep doing favors.

You can tell I'm nowhere near close to breaking out. I'm only on day 11 and I still have a lot of things I need to do. If you have anymore questions though... just ask.

Tip: Before fighting someone make sure you have more strength/speed than them and make sure you have a weapon. I've been getting my ass kicked lol.
