Urgh yuk... Playing Dirt 3 with gyro is a great bit of fun, but that shitty No Man's Sky song is in the game... well it wasn't shitty till I associated it with no man's sky

well i just gotta know what song you're talking about. i thought no man's sky just had ambient music.

The reason I mention it is because right now that number doesn't include PayPal orders I don't think. But hopefully it goes up over time or it may only last a year. I like the idea of it, and if the first game is LIT, I'm personally already happy with my subscription.

Lit's cool, but I have to say I liked the original WiiWare aesthetic more than the rebooted / iOS aesthetic.

100%, I don't think it's clarified (I mean, it might not even be LIT, but certainly seems like it) but I severely hope it's the WiiWare game and not the mobile one. XD; I'd take the mobile one, but I'd be excited if it's the WiiWare one.

The feel when you buy a new PC but Windows 10 doesnt support your Quake 3 Engine games 😭

I am thinking about a virtualisation solution now. Was so excited to play Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Jedi Knight 2 again.

No Man's Sky causes PTSD.

I played Jedi Knight 2 on Windows 10 fairly recently.

I don't remember any specific fixes, but when you're playing a game over a decade old you are going to expect tweaks.

I just talked with Origin Support about Bioware Points. In short they told me to talk with Bioware they can't do anything about it because it is developers decision to do things on Origin how they want to do them. So if somebody wants those ME DLCs go and scream to Bioware XD

BioWare will just defer the matter to Papa EA, resulting in an endless loop that you follow until such a time that you give up and just bite the bullet.

Speaking of which I beat Xanadu Next as well. Thanks again to Nillansan for that.

Enjoyed it a lot. Reminded me a lot of the fun I had with Ys and Ys II. I'm not big on Dungeon Crawlers of the hardcore variety but this was the perfect balance. It never got too hard I felt, and it was easy to continue once you used the right guardians and opened up shortcuts. My only complaint is that I felt the last dungeon (The Castle) was a bit too big. Was very easy to get lost in there, and I felt you're better running through the dungeon and grabbing everything. Then when you unlock the final path level up quickly with the double XP guardian and using spells to quickly kill enemies near the warp pad.

But yeah, fun game. Very surprised. If I had bought it at launch at full price, the $20 dollar tag would have been money well spent. Also it worked quite well with the steam controller, which was how i played it.
 
DLC for Mass Effect 1 and 2 is nice but completely skipable. The DLC for Mass Effect 3 is completely necessary and is a crime that at least From Ashes and Leviathan were not included. The Citadel was amazing as well. Best DLC for the trilogy but it made sense to be separate.

If your romance option is Liara in ME1, the Shadow Broker is mandatory.
Hell even if she isn't, Shadow Broker is easily the best DLC piece aside from The Citadel.
 
enjoy

Does ME1 on steam include the DLC? I can't find it it

And does ME2 include any DLC? I've got the digital deluxe edition

So weird seeing all the complaints about this months Humble. I saw the list and was pretty damn happy. It was worth it for me just for Dragon's Dogma alone, but there are 3 other games that I was already interested in in this one. I am pretty damn happy, but I guess my brain doesn't work the way most others do. :p

Granted, I am a little worried already about next month's bundle. Vermintide looks like it might be fun, but I am not that interested in a game that is mostly multi-player focused.

Doesn't Dirt have music only in replays?

It has music in the menus, pre-race and post race (in career mode anyway). For some reason that is continually the post race song. I had to stop playing.

Maybe Nzyme has a sort of NMS-tinnitus that will likely follow him intermittently until he's dead

Years of being a session musician, and now this is what kills me, and I didn't even buy the game. Geoff Keighley you fucking murderer; this is all your fault. I'm gonna haunt you for eternity!!

The DLC situation is kinda weird.

With Mass Effect 1, you can redeem the key on origin and that for sure has the original DLC. Or install them through other means. The DLC is free though so whichever way works.
http://steamcommunity.com/app/17460/discussions/0/343786195660632443/

Mass Effect 2 you have to buy the DLC from Bioware here, Even on origin it's the same way. It's a really shitty system. The Deluxe is just extra items and such.
http://social.bioware.com/page/me2-dlc

This is why I want a rerelease so bad.
So all the content can be in once place for one price, even if its stuck to origin.

Damn, my first Humble Monthly and I'm disappointed. Luckily I primarily bought it for Dragon's Dogma ($10.80 which is lower than the recent Steam sale) so I'm not particularly burned on it, but I kinda hoped for better/more well-known games. Not saying the current games are bad of course, just never heard of them before and as a result less excited. Still gonna give them a try.

On the other hand, Hacknet seems to be pretty fun though, I'll fire it up next week.

Why is this game so bloody good?
We already received so many great VNs on Steam this year.
Don't make me choose between Umineko, Steins;Gate, Root Double and this for Steam GOTY awards.
Please stop.

I still don't understand how Bioware Points are still a thing. Is there some arcane authentication system in place that only works with a BioWare Social Network account but not with Origin?
