I'm still thinking about That Dragon, Cancer creator's incredibly powerful speech. I literally had tears in my eyes. Only few cards left to drop and I'll buy copy for myself and few of my friends.
Now that game had some serious pacing issues. It took me year and a half to complete two routes because I was always falling asleep at that fascinating beginning. It really felt like 999 alpha version. Is Root Double any better?
Was 50% off during the sale, quite a bunch of people mentioned it in the sale thread.
Has Durante's Seal of Approval.
Other than slight pacing issues in the second, slice of life route, it's a ride and a half.
Pretty much a spiritual sequel to Ever 17.

I swear I saw this as Damon Wayans several times.
The more interesting part of that rumor is imho, that it's supposedly using the Nemesis system.
The only good thing to come out of Shadow of Mordor. Would be cool to see it in a good videogame.
It was about 100k before humble monthly wasn't it?
We need more Damon Wayans in our games

Meh, give me a Batman Beyond game instead and I'll be in.

No, as I remember it, it was 400k ish.
Pacing-wise? Infinitely better than E17.
Story-wise? The payout is slightly weaker than Coco Route from Ever17, but overall I'd say RD is on par with 999.

Who the hell wants to Nemesis a 100 Joker knock offs?
I have to say, Watch Dogs 2 is such an improvement over the first game. While I liked the first one just fine but I didn't feel much of a hacker, going around killing everyone. Now in two, I'm going strickly non-leathal and I often don't even personally enter areas that I try to inflintrate, I just use the drone and RC. If I have to use combat I just use the tazer and melee takedowns.
Really liking the game!

Anyone knows a good adblock alternative? It really went to shit in the last few months and some sites really open new tabs all the time...

uBlock Origin is the way to go these days.

I'm using uBlock Origin, it's a very good plugin - also available for most browsers if i'm not mistaken.
EDIT: ^i guess that proves it's a good alternative

I found it in the wiki. Basically it's the extension of your factory, but blocks in vertical only count as 1, no matter how many are. If you press P, I think, yellow marks will appear on the blocks that count towards your footprint.
Also, I want to know how to use "Blockers" effectively, I can't find a good use for them.

How is that even possible?
This is what I use for Firefox. For some reasons, what was most effective against pop-ups for me is Pop-up Controller.
Don't forget to whitelist Gaf =)

Yup, GAF is certainly one of the sites I whitelist. It helps that they work hard to make sure the ads aren't obtrusive and have the whole report ad system.

The Uncertain: Episode 1 is 53% on chrono.gg. This is the game which was featured as a demo in a recent Humble Monthly bundle. Historical low.
If you have missed the Autum Steam sale, you can still grab Furi on BundleStars for a very good price. Historical low for a GOTY contender.

I took inspiration from yours and just used the "C" approach. I actually stuffed it up initially and made it 1 too big and only realised when it was too big for the exit! I assumed it would be easy to trim one block of the sides but no, I went mad trying to get it to work. If it worked at 6x6, it must work at 5x5, right? I had to iterate it from scratch again.
Blocks is the obviously the number of blocks not counting concrete blocks. Footprint is the horizontal space your solution takes up. If you imagine the bird's eye view looking straight down, that is the footprint.

Regarding flopping indie sequels. What are the best options for a developer when their indie sequel bombs?
- Get into a regular bundle. Advantages: revenue + owners. Disadvantages: very low revenue per game sold and the value perception of your game tanks.
- Get into a humble monthly. Advantages: revenue + owners and you only sell a limited amount of games for a very low price. Disadvantages: the value perception of your game declines (probably less damaging than a regular bundle though).
- Send discount coupons to the owners of your previous game. To me, this seems like the best solution. You lose some revenue from people who would have bought your game anyway, but that should be easily compensated by the buyers who weren't even aware of your game's existence.
- Give a big discount in the next steam sale.
- Lower the regular price or your game. This probably isn't a good idea. With a relatively high price it's much easier to give sizable discounts.
- Wait and and hope for the best. Maybe your game will be featured prominently by a big youtuber and sales will finally take off.
Obviously with the first five options, you will need to think of something to compensate the day one buyers (so as the avoid a bad rep/negative reviews), maybe give them a giftable copy or something.

Discount and/or Steam sales is better because people will be able to give Steam reviews that increase the Steam score and help sell more for the next sales.

If they did it right though, one of those knockoffs could *become* the Joker. Would be a truly unique take on villian origin stories, you could even explore the idea that the presence of Batman is what caused the emergence of all these super crazies. It would really need to be a completely original new story to be done, but the potential is there.
The nemesis system in SoM was fantastic, *if* you played recklessly *and* didn't get overpowered too quickly *and* allowed yourself to die more than most of us like to. The early stages of the Batman game would need you to be pretty weak and have some sort of forced retreat rather than death.
Do I think it will happen? No, of course not, you'd basically need it to be Isaaclike in terms of difficulty, and no mainstream game would do that. Maybe as an optional game mode.
I will watch it mostly for PC related stuff. Haven't been using my PS4 in a long time. I did get FFXV yesterday, but I have to download that big-ass patch first.
As long as you can revert back to the original art style we're good.

Yeah, I'm hoping there's more to the mimics than just suddenly transforming from a random object into a shadow monster you've seen dozens of times before. I get the impression that the "play your way" philosophy Arkane has abided by thus far will be less prevalent in the game and it'll be action-oriented regardless of your approach, but the gameplay systems do seem interesting. Arkane's take isn't the open-world alien bounty hunting game everyone wants, however I'm optimistic the end product will be solid in its own right.

I saw the artwork in the November thread and was like "what's that?" and then came across it on the Featured titles. Only made it halfway through the trailer.
Can someone comment on the gameplay/combat? Is it JRPG or ... ?

Why would they reveal PC version of their (ex-)exclusives in their own event?
I mean, most of their fans will be watching it, right. There'll be lots of disappointments and that'll be the last thing they want to do.
And of course it'll be a midnight show here. I guess I'll just see the summary later in the morning.
RDR2 gameplay please...
PSX has essentially been a massive PC showcase since the PS4 released. Just have to be aware of the language used.
They won't necessarily mention PC. The news about PC versions will come from press releases and all that. That's what people are talking about.

I see. I don't quite remember past PSX events. That's pretty interesting.
I might as well stay a bit late tonight then. I have El Classico to keep me accompanied for the next 2 hours anyway.
In short, it's a dungeon-crawling action-RPG of sorts
It features pretty simple, but very slick combat system, a pretty good story, exploration and some puzzles. Personally, i think i liked the level design in this game the most out of all it's aspects.For a more detailed answer, i suggest you check out it's OT here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1306499
