I should amend the 'unless you're really lucky part' to also include 'or cheese him good and proper'. My first time was an amature mistake (and considering I had played Demon's Souls countless times before I really should have known better) as I went through the fog gate with my shield down and BLATT!!!
Haha my Souls mantra is ABB: Always Be Blocking.

The fact that they are not in acending alphabetical order from right to left is distracting.
I'd like to note that all the logos which have a non-black background are arranged in a cross around Divinity: OS, and that Might & Magic X has the place of honor in the top left.

At least that's how the ordering came to be :p

how were this lords of xulima and blackguards?
I haven't played Xulima yet. Blackguards is great, a bit like a console SRPG in the way the story progresses, but with a pretty complete implementation of the PnP Dark Eye ruleset underpinning it.
 
Fuck this fucking piece of shit Cuntpra Demon, fuck his family, friends, lovers and everyone from From who had hand in designing this unfair boss fight.

Tip #1: Kill the dogs first.

Tip #2: Use the stairs to your advantage.

Tip #3: If you're a magic user, disregard all previous tips and uninstall the game.

Ehhhh you could go up the stairs move to the right side which you can stand despite being a small space and spam magic. Roll to the lower area when the Capra demon is about to do the jump attack and rinse and repeat.

So that image grid kind of sold me on Lords of Xulima (never had heard of it), and reminded me how much I wanted Blackguards (already on wish list). Thanks for that. Have they been on deep sale yet?

People are morons. What else is new.

I swear, if fucking Steam reviews prevent me from getting M&M XI...

And thanks for mentioning this, I hadn't realized it was a daily deal.

Actually, can anyone explain this? M&M Legacy only shows up as a daily (or 12 hour?) deal if I click into it's store page. It wasn't listed on the main store page at all for me... not even in my 'wishlist' section.

Is there some sale page for temporary deals I don't know about? Because I hate missing out on good sale prices.
 
Lots of people in the gaf goty thread saying it was a mediocre year...
A couple of AAA games that were hyped to hell and back turn out disappointing = bad year.

For AAA it was a bad year with a few exceptions, especially if you look at the fall, like most GOTY awards do for some reason.

I know all the strategies for Capra, really. I beat it once on my earlier playthrough.

Still doesn't help me an iota if I have roughly 0.5 seconds from when I enter through the fog door before the following happens:
1) Dogs gang up on me, breaking my guard
2) Capra uses the downward slash, pining me to the ground and taking off 2/3rds of my health
3) Dogs or Capra finish me off

It's just a total random fight, if you roll a natural 20 at start you might survive more than 1 second. Otherwise, good luck going through all of Lower Undead Burg again.

I've just spent a better part of an hour doing just that. I recall doing exactly the same the last time.

Crossposting from the sale thread because apparently I posted it there while I thought I posted it in here:

Started playing Door Kickers (Thanks Speevy!) and the game feels more difficult than I thought it'd be. It's also quite nice. Only played the first 3/4 solo maps, though I managed to 3 stars the first two and get those no pause/single plan thingies, but those starting maps are easy.

I'm always amused by reading stuff like that.

For me, it was the best year in a decade.

That's how I did it.

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.

Blackguards was in a humble bundle sort of recently, you should be able to find it cheap because of that.

The best part of MGSV:GZ is how it doesn't supports mouse control in the menus and the Mouse 3&4 buttons in-game. For fucks sake, is every Japanese developer this incompetent at basic things?
 
Probably because you can get the game for free on PC with a simple google search, really.

Adsupported freeware? Okay then.

Looks like WB should own the IP.

Noooo.


Sorry for self ad but: I also pushed another small update for the NeoGAF Monkeybot-script that fixes few small things. Tomorrow I'll do something to improve the game recognition between Batman^TM Arkham Oranges / Batman: Arkham Oranges / Batman Arkham Oranges and so on.

Darn, how'd I miss that. Oh well.


Are there are any games besides M&Magic X Legacy that are on some sort of timed / short sale right now that aren't listed on the home sale page?

I've been waiting for that to go on sale during Winter Sale and am extremely glad Durante and co. mentioned it else I would have missed it.

I just got Batman Arkham Origins gifted by an amazing friend, so help me gaf, as my memory is the fucking worst.

Batman Franchise was on sale on Day One, but the Season Pass for origins was cheaper on Nuuvem, right?

Am I remembering that right?

Season Pass on Nuveem is right now around $6.77 USD / £4.33
 
Why do people complain about Valve for the disappointing sale deals. Surely it's the publishers/developers that set the prices for their games?
 
The best order would be DA:O, Awakening, Golems of Amgarrak, then Witch Hunt. I think there might be issues with importing your character if you try to do it in any other order, but it's been ages since I played through them.

Leliana's Song and Darkspawn Chronicles are stand alone, so it doesn't matter. Darkspawn Chronicles should also not be played by anyone.

IIRC it goes DAO, the expansion and then Witch Hunt as the final piece. The rest don't matter story-wise.

alrightie thanks guys. good thing i asked first, i thought awakening was supposed to be played last :p

But didn't nuuvem had a Batman Franchise sale after the November one?

I don't know about about a previous sale, but right now they have a Batman Pack on sale that has Arkham City GOTY, Arkham Origins and Arkham Origins Blackgate for around $6 USD.

Doesn't include the season pass for Origins, though.

Thanks for the list, turfster. This thread turned out more helpful than the sales thread. :O

You're welcome.
It's what I do in this thread, every day ;)

Yes, I guess this is an Origins post, but you are my PC brothers :(

Eh, don't worry about, we're basically "PC gaming, the thread"

Is there some sale page for temporary deals I don't know about? Because I hate missing out on good sale prices.
It was a "12 hour" deal, but like "dailies" last 48 hours, "12 hour" deals 24 hours.
