Wow, there's even more than I initially thought :eek:
All those similar, so soon to each other. Can't think at least some of them will fail not by being bad but only due bad timing.

Actually gameplay wise they're not that similar from what I heard and saw, but people group them together. Hell, a couple of them are labeled as Overwatch clones when they were announced before that lol. We only have concrete release dates for two. Battleborn in May and Overwatch in June. The latter will eat the former, I'm sure. Battleborn has the least excitement surrounding it, while Overwatch has the most. We don't have concrete dates for the others, but they are planned for next year. Overwatch will find the most success, but I can see some carving a good niche out for themselves.

and the award for the Evolve of 2016 goes to Battleborn! 2k wins it for the second consecutive year in a row!

There's been more hype in the month or so that Overwatch has been shown than the entire time we've known that Battleborn exists. If Battleborn didn't really have a chance before it certainly doesn't stand much of a chance now.

OK that didn't take too long, easier than hexcells, which is good because I tended to guess much more in hexcells. Good price for easy achievements at least.:D

It won't be terrible if Code Mystics who worked on KoF 98UM and 2002UM. Problem is they can't perform miracles. It still won't work outside of your continent more than likely :(.

I guess all those years playing all the variations of picross has helped.:D I never encountered that frustration being stuck and failing at guessing as I did in Hexcells. Even if I had to restart often it was much easier to memorize the board.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Last I heard, Mozilla is still targeting the Dec 14th nightly release to fix the bug I'm running into while porting the extension. With any luck we'll have something workable early next year.

I've bought Dark Souls 2 but haven't really played it.XD Did play Dark Souls 1 on Xbox with a friend which was fun and kind of the only way I could play, because whenever I would start to get frustrated we would just switch player.

I'm actually more excited for Ni-oh than Dark Souls 3, since it looks to be the change up and fresh take on the formula I have been wanting.

I'm ready for more souls. Dark Souls 1 ruined gaming for me, so here's hoping this one can do the same.

Honestly, you're better expecting DS2.5, not a DeS or DaS. That's what I'm doing. Second game had it's problems but it's still a great game. Better than most stuff really. If you accept getting more of the same of the "worst" of the series, than you'll end up positively surprised in the best case and not disappointed in the worst case.

NiOh does seem able to scratch that itch of specialty but we've only seen seconds and nothing deeper about mechanics. I go the same approach there as well. Expecting a let-down, hoping for a sleeper hit.

Such is life.

It's just a shame, I didn't find DS2 bad neither did I for BB. I just didn't feel they were very special like Demons or Dark 1. For me the last two games just lost that spark which made the earlier ones special. Dunno if that's because i'm just so used to the formula now or what.

True dat. On the flip-side, I've been watching a lot of DeS videos and playing DaS lately. I realize that both - especially DeS - feel a lot more compact. Not that many bosses and different areas as well. But I still love the atmosphere in DeS most. I think you'd be surprised how much good lore and worldbuilding and memorable characters can do wonders to your excitement.

I mean when you put it at only 4 months, 2 weeks and 20 hours from release Dark Souls III doesn't seem that far off. That will fly by right? :(

The Souls series started on playstation and that's where it should be played, doing so elsewhere is betraying the creator's intentions.

Anyone playing Helldivers? Good port and fun game? I bought the PS4 version when it came out and literally never launched it, lol.

So in AC Syndicate, to find all the Secrets and Glitches you have to buy the maps with Helix credits ala real money? I've gotten enough for one map through gameplay but just have to make sure it's the only way to obtain the maps?

Time is just an illusion, an artificial construct of human consciousness. It's not real. So 4 months, 4 years, 4 galactic years.. it's all meaningless.
