It isn't, story-wise at least.
One could argue BaW is better in the gameplay deprartment, especially with the hanse cleanups, but HoS beats it easily when it comes to story. Hell, HoS beats W3 main campaign in that regard.

Mad Max is repetitive, but beautiful looking game, i recommend to try it. Just don't try to do every sidequest and grind stuff, and you'll be fine.
It feels like a nice epilogue to the main game. Geralt, after all the hard work in W3, finally relaxing a bit with more traditional Witchering and getting an awesome villa. As such, while not as powerful as story of Olgierd, it feels much more rewarding.
Thanks, looks like I've got some reading to do before my controller arrives, so many awesome features have been added.

Hmm should I buy BF1 premium?
Doing the new game+ in Oxenfree emphasizes the slow movements of the game. I didn't get bothered on my first run because it was a "walking + talking" game but on a new game+ the slow walking and the constant backtracking of the game on the second half become annoying.
So I started the Room and... got stucked on the tutorial hahaha I'll need to focus for this game if I want to beat it because yesterday I was a little distracted and didn't find anything

Is it on sale somewhere? I'd get BF1 for the single player personally so my preferred price point is $20 or less at this point of time.

If i get bored with MM i will switch to ES.
Cheers!

I was waiting for the winter sale to buy the beamdog enhanced edition games.. then found out that the gog versions come bundled with the originals, so I bit the bullet on that within the last hour. So happy!
I agree it probably should have been around 40 bucks because I feel if you go higher than that you're moving out of impulse buying price range.
Still going to buy it because A) I want it, and B) I want to support these games coming to PC.
At least it was only half a year compared to a full year for Xrd SIGN.
Also, Shini tweeted this:
Which I'm interpreting as meaning there won't be another GG revision/sequel for another year. I'm guessing they're working on something new to replace Blazblue as a series.
I recommend Endless Space and advise you against Mad Max

The offline mode isn't ideal. At some point, for something, you'll need the client in online mode. Be it for installing a different game, some purchase, etc. Boom, it'll detect the update and become unplayable it until it's current. There's no real escape from updates.
Easy enough to avoid, that: "Only Update This Game When I Launch It", and make sure you don't launch it in online mode.

Bought BF1 on cdkeys for 35 and premium also for 35 on origin with the discount code yesterday.
70 for the ultimate edition is a good price imo. It was 100 during the origin sale and its normal price is 120.
If the game was on Steam I would gladly have paid the full price.

This doesn't work for me. Just tested again now. I have around six games that detected an update, but were set to 'only update when the game is launched', and upon relaunching in offline mode the games—all of them that detected updates were available—fail to play without the update.
Even the 'only update when I launch it' setting isn't reliable. Oniken was downloading an update despite the setting the last two times I launched the client.
It's plain ineffective.

I have Wasteland 2 installed for a long time. I spent near an hour just creating my char but never started the campaign. Definitely will give it a go soon.
Too late.

Ah, that's a shame.
Maybe file a bug report/tell Valve? I wouldn't have thought that's how it's supposed to work.That's a great price if you get into the multiplayer. Premium will keep the game fresh for a solid year+. I thought for me BF1 would be the odd man out between Call of Duty & Call of Duty, BF1 and Titanfall 2. In reality it's the one that I still play daily.
I mean to play Titanfall 2 all the time but at best I launch it few times a week, play exactly one match and I'm done. It's great but it just doesn't have staying power, same issue with Titanfall 1. Also BF4 remained relevant for me up until the launch of BF1 so there's something in the (DICE) Battlefield formula that just works. On the other hand DICE Battlefront lasted roughly the same as both Titanfall games, 10 hours or so.

Not that it's not stupid to force you to update games, but I think the problem here is that Steam found updates before you went offline. If you install a game and go offline without it checking for an update at all, then it should work. I suppose. I can't imagine it would even be able to know there is an update available in offline mode that way.
Edit: and yes, even if you have "only update when i launch it" checked, it still searches for updates, though I've never had it DL automatically. Maybe it's actually better to use "always keep updated" for games you wanna play offline if you often switch between on-/offline.

That post was a response originally a reply above where I mention the problem with this, which is that you will need to be in online mode for various things and when that happens it will detect the updates.
It takes the option out of the hands of those who've paid for the game. If I want to play it now, or just not update it at all (for example the poster above needed a specific version for mods), I'd prefer to have that option. GOG provides it, standalone games used to provide it, and that's why I've moved to buy everything on GOG from now on unless it's exclusively available on Steam.

A bit late, but I feel I should clarify this one.
Rather than having 4 projects planned, I was talking about having received 4 evaluation copies. Evaluation copies are games we're sent to look at, before we decide whether we're going to try and pick them up for release. Sometimes we request them, and sometimes we're sent them to see if we might be interested in a game.
Also if you look at the Tweet I'm replying to in this Tweet, I was saying that I enjoyed one of the evaluation games about as much as the run of games we had on PSP a few years back.
Sorry if I was a bit unclear

Really Ross, you should look at the Disaster Report/SOS Escape series. Especially the upcoming one. I'm telling you'd be having something unique here.

So if you got Beholder for free from Indie Game Stand it's been revoked but the publisher is saying in the Steam forums you can email them with your old key for a new one. I don't understand why they would revoke the keys if they're just going to send you a new one.

No worries, the nature of Twitter leads to things being a bit unclear on there sometimes
As for our next project, we've just finished a project for another publisher, http://blog.ghostlight.uk.com/post/agarest-generations-of-war-gets-a-chinese-language-release, and we're also working on a few more projects for someone else to publish, so we've got plenty on our plate, but I'm hoping to be able to announce the next one we're going to publisher ourselves early next year.
How long it will be depends on how long it takes to get all the contracts sorted.
I will look into it when I get a bit of time

To revoke new ones too.
Possibly. No rumours, though. You're probably thinking of the store redesign.
I'll have to get a ps4pro for that.

To make it harder for resellers, I guess?
More like a PS5. that game is wayyy off. Or I missed something.
If you got the key from IndieGameStand, go to https://indiegamestand.com/wallet.php copy the key and send it to keys@beholder-game.com
tell them it got revoked and ask for a new key,
I got a new key after like 5 minutes.

I somehow have almost all S-E games I could want on Steam already.
Yes, there's a revamp in the works.
Unfortunately Valve has decided if you want to use the new client, you will have to pay an 'upgrade' fee for each of the tiles you have, about $1 or more.
Seriously, how the fuck is this still a thing in 2016?
8k Millia Rage though.
