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.

Or we could all move to Jupiter. A day there is only about 9 hours. Atmosphere is a bit lacking though.

DARK SOULS III

Is he doing a thumbs up?

 

[jshackles]

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?

Yep, basically. You can buy glitch maps from vendors but there are usually 2-3 missing from each section of the city that you'll have to find on your own. The glitches and secrets will show up on your map if you're very close-by, but I mean very close-by. Some of the "hidden" glitches can be revealed through the "Social Glitch" system built into Uplay (you do have Uplay friends, right?).

So they're by no means required, but it will save you a considerable amount of time if you buy the maps from the Helix store.

 

[Nyteshade517]

Is he doing a thumbs up?

looks more like he's letting dirt or ashes go from his hand but the angle makes it look like a thumbs up

 

[Knurek]

these are games of the video variety

Incitement is actually decent, for an RPG Maker game.
Comes with Incitement 1 & 2 as free DLC.

It's fine, we'll wave our British passports around and claim it in the name of Imperialism. Just need to find a way to float the Union Flag.

 

[Salsa]

that DSIII header image is hilarious

thumbs up

You can just find them running around / with internet images too =p

 

[Buraindo]

It's hard to imagine how a game could be even better than Dark Souls 2.

It really isn't all that hard. Don't even need to look too far from it either.

 

[Crab Milk Mickey]

Helldivers looks really cool tbh.

Best co-op driven game in years. Also helps that all of the DLC packs are superfluous additions to one's loadout, regardless of the comical pricing.

Maybe Dark Souls 3 will be better than Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2.

"Being better than Dark Souls 2" wouldn't pose much of a task, really.

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

It's a pretty decent port. Low on PC options, but it supports resolutions past 1080p and goes higher than 60 fps for what it's worth.

Ah yeah I thought I bought some maps but as you say there are a bunch of clitches missing and saw that there was a map to buy for Helix points. Yeah I thought first that I would just go around with eagle vision to find the secrets, while glitches do show up kind of easily the secrets do not, you have to be really close, easier to hear them but I don't know if I have the energy to search for them without a map.XD I do have uplay friends! A couple but none who play AC.XD

You can just find them running around / with internet images too =p

Haha yeah that was my first though but without knowing which ones I've already picked up would mean I would have to run to all of them.XD

 

[bbd23]

battleborn is 80 canadian dollars?

oh.

 

[Chance Hale]

Cross your fingers for hot 144 FPS action in the Dark Souls 3 port.

I regret getting drunk and buying Just Cause 3, it was only 28 dollars but the desire is just not there at all. Lol.

 

[jaundicejuice]

battleborn is 80 canadian dollars?

oh.

Like pretty much everything.

Just look at it this way, don't buy anything new and on release and eventually Steam sales might not be so shit for you.

 

[pantsattack]

Battleborn doesn't have near as good style as the other Hero shooters, and of those maybe one will stick.

DARK SOULS III

Day 0

 

[KenOD]

Amongst all those leaks, or any other source of news, do we know if the remastered version of Turok is coming to Steam?

 

[someguyinahat]

My first thought was "What? They're FMV games?" until I realized what you were getting at.

 

[Jawmuncher]

It's coming. Dunno if it'll make this year though.

 

[Uzzy]

Hans, are we the baddies?

 

[L.O.R.D]

that dark souls artwork looks like he is giving a thumbs up

Yab, there a mock up photo with another game they are too giving a thumb up to another game that have anime girl on the poster.

 

[kagamin]

OK then, I wonder if Dark Souls III's PVP will match up to Dark Souls II, Bloodborne wasn't that great really... and Dark Souls was way too exploitable in terms of toggling which completely negated the need for poise (and I'm not going back to play Demon's Souls). I would love more balanced PVP like DkS2.

Spoiler

Yes there is broken stuff in the PVP, but in comparison to the other its much better

 

[AHA-Lambda]

About to fight him. Any tips?

Nope, he's fucking crushing me

The last one was pretty easy compaired to the first one iyam. that one made me wanna hurt something cute.

Nah, other way for me =/

 

[Salsa]

can someone still gift you a fourpack without gettin any of the copies for himself?


edit: uh nvm Helldivers doesnt even have a fourpack wtf

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Hans, are we the baddies?

I just watched the sketch the other day.

 

[Chance Hale]

I feel like Just Cause 3 has the worst AA/IQ I've seen in a pc game in a long time. Playing at 1440P and it looks like 720 or something.

 

[Dsyndrome]

DARK SOULS III

If I knew I could play co-op with my younger brother on PS4, it'd make getting it on PC that much easier.

Then again, he's deployed for most of next year, so it may not matter.

If he even manages to play online from over though, it would be laggy as all hell.
If you could even connect.

The concept of four packs is strange to Sony.

 

[Chance Hale]

Everyone buy the latest PC exclusive Yakuza 5 please.

 

[Adnor]

The Bozak Horde DLC for Dying Light is hard as hell, but more than that it's looooooooong. And you just have three tries or you start from the beginning.

That bow better be the most amazing weapon in the game.

[Stallion Free]

I think those two have to be purchased with the Helix points. It's shitty and they did it in Unity too.

Amongst all those leaks, or any other source of news, do we know if the remastered version of Turok is coming to Steam?

Both were in the leak.

 

[Corvo Jensen]

REFUND THAT MOTHERFUCKER

put it towards dark souls 3

 

[Annubis]

Everyone buy the latest PC exclusive Yakuza 5 please.

But I want Yakuza Ishin =/

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

REFUND THAT MOTHERFUCKER

put it towards dark souls 3

If he paid less than $30 for it then I kinda doubt he can get a refund.

 

[Chance Hale]

REFUND THAT MOTHERFUCKER

put it towards dark souls 3

I didn't buy it through steam so I can't

Dark Souls 3 will be a day one purchase of course, hoping it has the same texture quality as Bloodborne. So many great assets in that game ruined by some of the worst IQ of the current gen.

 

[Corvo Jensen]

If he paid less than $30 for it then I kinda doubt he can get a refund.

how come? you can ask a refund whatever the price was, only demand is that he hasn't played it more than 2 hours

 

[Chance Hale]

I bought the game from a trader, not through steam. You have to have purchased directly through steam to refund a game.

Plus I believe in living with your mistakes, haven't refunded yet

I was going to buy EDF 4.1 but I guess I'll wait now given it's coming to the PC at some point hopefully with that listing leak. Still picking up EDF 2 Vita though.

ooh that's a bummer man. i suppose you can try asking for a refund but i doubt "i was drunk" qualifies as a good reason, haha.

same here, if miyazaki directing it wasn't the main reason of hype, i don't have a ps4 but bloodborne looks finger licking delicious

I'm getting that How to Survive vibe, but this time with dinosaurs. Too bad it's a mobile game though.

Looks pretty good for a mobile game, I need a new time waster anyway.
Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Turfster]

Hans, are we the baddies?

What game is this?

 

[Kurt Russell]

What game is this?

Helldivers.

 

[Vibranium]

Gearbox should have been making Borderlands 3.

You must mean Brothers in Arms 4.

I hope that's what Furious 4 turned into after they realized their mistake.

 

[Turfster]

Helldivers.

Thanks.



Also, I'm laughing so hard.
The PS2-on-PS4-"remasters" in Europe are 50Hz locked.
So basically, lazy ass emu+iso release, and not "remastered" at all.

And I think Metropopolis is a made up genre.
