Yeah I was really disappointed that Bound by Flame went the generic fantasy route, and even more disappointed that it seemed to be more successful as a result. Mars War Logs was hardly perfect but it was good fun and got good post release support (hell they redid the whole dialog translation), and Of Orcs and Men was a unique take on the genre. Bound by Flame just looks like a mediocre Dragon Age spinoff to me. The last thing we need is more janky fantasy rpgs.

So did it get mommy or daddy's minimal gameplay?
I did as you instructed and then I found this image and now I can't stop laughing at the possibilities for where it comes from. I don't even want to know the truth.

If it truly is due to particles, it's most likely a fill-rate issue with your graphics card (as most particles are at least partially transparent).
You can get quite a bit of performance back by lowering your resolution, if that is indeed the problem. If you're using DSFix you can render even lower than usual. (It may be due to the sheer number of particles, though, which would be a CPU problem that wouldn't be easily fixed by DSFix.)
Alternatively, there may be some lower-res texture mods that may improve your performance.
it's important to mention that life is strange (what a fucking shitty name that is) is made by the remember me devs and features as a central mechanic a rewind thing similar to the memory jacking or whatever in remember me
it sounds like a good match, something like radiant historia mixed with telltale (sigh) gameplay might be pretty decent. like a heavy rain where you can rewind time but also maybe do puzzle solving with it and maybe actually a good story and characters
yeah, one of the big things that mars had going for it was the setting and this is pretty unoriginal

They also mentioned Heavy Rain so probably minimal.
Its the truth. DOA breast were less realistic in terms of proportions and worked more as balloons in the Xtreme 2 game. DOA5 went and used more realistic proportions which is what they are proving there. Youtube you can write nude mod and you can see quick on results.
how did you came to that conclusion, zky? Seriously... your post made me understand that I'm more interested in Mars, and I decided to forget BbF for the time being. jeez, you are touchy.
i don't mind walking simulator or just decisionmaking games
i just hate the way telltale does the whole SARAH WILL REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID and then 5 seconds later she gets eaten by a zombie. or like i choose to save john! and then john gets eaten anyways on the next scene cos they wouldn't actually do branching paths
so yeah i really hope it's a lot more gone home than the walking dead

why do i bother adding exclamation marks to posts -___-
We'll see how it goes. I hope they don't mess it up.
they chose worst possible way to advertize that game, mentioning Gone Home and Walking dead and Heavy Rain, that's like triple overkill (><)
Then again maybe it is a clear message: stay away! don't come near! dangerous to health and life, no fun allowed! It's nice of them, isn't it?
It's okay if its not your type of game. Move along and play what you like and may the ones who enjoy those types of games enjoy it. I find it funny how some trash this style of game while some play visual novels now that shit is golden.

gone home is one of my favorite story-driven games in recent memory so yea, magic words for me
not a big fan of the like teenager scrapbook thing since i feel like it's a bit derivative from what gone home's aesthetics have already done but we'll see
also i hope the superpowers thing doesn't go in like an outrageous beyond two souls direction

Yeah, I think a well done adventure game based primarily on the memory rewrite ability could be really great actually and bring something truly new to the genre. Especially if there's some real agency and consequence in the choices you make, rather than just cool but meaningless variants and only one true "win" state.
Hopefully the writing isnt as weak as Remember Me. Interesting plot but the writing let that part down. At least the game looked pretty and had a bitching OST.
That's funny way to put it, as those 3 games basically are VNs, not good ones at that, you know that don't you?
Yeah but 2 out of 3 ain't bad
not in my universe, they aren't

You're funny they're more like point and click games. *shakes you*
They are more like interactive movies than Visual Novels as visual novels normally have less environment exploration and interaction and to some point they remind me more of point and click games than Visual Novels.
yeah, i really think radiant historia was onto something
i hope more games try that sort of stuff in the future
i'm not sure if the writing (as in screenplay) was it. i played like half of it before being bored to death and i felt like the game was pretty aimless with its plot. i mean, the whole game felt aimless in general, with like the multiple gameplay systems and that weird combo maker thing and the rewinding puzzles
i really hope for some likable characters. i feel like remember me really suffered from a pretty obnoxious protagonist that kept whining and whining but then tried to act cool in random situations. it was annoying as hell. too bad cos her visual design was great
i really don't get how people can hate gone home
it's like one of the most earnest games i've ever played
but whatever

Is there a community on gaf for buying/splitting 4 packs?
Also -- Rise of Nations or Age of Mythology? There's a bundle with both (plus Age of Empires), but $25 is more than I want to spend.

I will be opening a Rise of Nations 4pack if anyone is interested. It's 3$ each.
I stopped playing The Walking Dead when I realized and heard that my actions had barely any meaning. Visual Novels with choices have fewer ones but most of the time they have in pact. Of course there is turd like Sakura Spirit, but you all know how much I hate that one.
And Kinetic Novels at least don't lie to me that I have inpact.
inpact sounds like an interesting word.
Which of the new Space Hulks?
Space Hulk, not Ascension
yeah that's a big part of what it bothered me about twd
also i feel like games like that that just throw you awful choices (hey! which child do you want to be left to die??) one after the other really lack the subtlety needed to make those choices feel important
it desensitizes you which is the opposite effect to what's intended
I'm no good with the phone, don't judge me bakanetta!
Definitely Age of Mythology.
Gameplaywise they are very similar but VF has tighter mechanics but DOA has more interesting characters and stages. IMO DOA is more fun to play but VF is technically speaking better. Both great fun tho (VF characters in DOA play exactly like VF)
Even if it were available on Steam at some point it wouldn't be available now as it's a licensed game. It's is one of the (relatively) few titles that GOG has lost over time.

People in the GOTY thread thought that there was a Bayonetta 2 secret agenda to overthrow Dragon Age: Inquisition as the game with the most votes.
I don't think the GOTY thread is entirely reasonable.
I didn't know that Nilin was made out of plastic.
What a shame >.< Luckily I have a game CD lying around here somewhere, but its so bad that future generations will have trouble to ever enjoy the great game.

I was playing KoF '98 UM FE locally earlier today and was having so much fun, the game had some slowdowns but it may be related to my old ass laptop.

I enjoyed Radiant Historia, even though the battles...hmm...let's say they take getting used to. But when it comes to the choices you make, even screwing up and hitting a bad end is basically a learning experience and goes toward full completion of the game. Also, you CAN get bad ends that don't involve failing QTEs.
The online is crap so if you were playing online most likely it was the online.
Age of Mythology is amazing.
1 spot left. AND DONE
Would you take tf2 keys? If so, how many for the split?

Hay guys, Ive given things alot of thought and next year I am planning to go on a videogame and internet hiatus for a whole year. Ill still be playing games, but im not going to be active in forums etc nor will I be buying anything new/playing multi-player anything. I'm also cutting my home Internet off and will only have my phones data plan for emergencies.
I'm hording a bunch of games in this steam sale, but it just occurred to me :- Can you even be in steam offline mode for a full year? If not, when doing a occasional "check-in" with steam via my phone tethered, how much MB is steam going to need for verification?
