Played half of it in VR now and its great, but thanks to the style, it feels like the same over and over again.
Unlike Dear Esther or other Walking Sims where you visit different areas, even the areas you are visiting inside the cave all look the same thanks to the style.
Its a pretty great experience in VR though.
Spoiling (finished half of the game it seems):
You have areas like a Lake or a Monastery, but due to the lights the areas dont actually feel different. There are different sound effects, but from the looks every area is similar.
yea but i'm disappointed at the low amount of ppl i've spooked compared to previous years ;_;

How can you tell? Maybe too many people are too frozen with fear to comment on it. (For the record, I like it more than the others.)yea but i'm disappointed at the low amount of ppl i've spooked compared to previous years ;_;

Why the hell is Steam updated games at 1kb a second or slower? My internet is fine.

Oh? I haven't had any luck downloading a game this whole evening, maybe it's just not me?

Same thing here, I have trouble downloading anything from Steam for the last 5-6 hours, but I can download just fine from GOG/Origin and my internet's fine.

Yeah, no problem with anything else other than Steam here too.
Well that's good to hear then, guess I was panicking for no reason.

Yeah it has been a problem for the last 4 hours or so. Valve is working on it.

I got a message saying a download had timed out earlier but it's been downloading fine since then.
Good, it's not like my apartment people are being jerks or anything like that. It still sucks... I want my Ruiner now that they fixed the DS4 issues.

You can try different download servers to see if you get better speeds. Maybe choose a potentially low traffic server in Africa or something.
EDIT - I just started the Hat in Time download from the Malaysian server and I'm getting 5-7MBps. Not max speed but it's still decent and it'll get the job done.
I'm not seeing this on my store page. The top review is the one where the guy says that the game upset Neogaf which is... true. The next one I see is the nice in-depth review from Dusk Golem that has a 100% rating and will probably rise to the very top soon.

Yeah....download speeds are currently fucked. Barely a trickle right now. My speed test shows I get something like 600+ Mbps down too (university internet, WOO!)
I WAS gonna try out Elder Scrolls Online (caved and paid for early unlock of Humble Monthly), but now I'm not sure what I want to play the rest of tonight.
Currently installed games I might be interested in are as follows:
-Dead Cells
-Skyrim Special Edition (though TBH I'm still waiting on SKSE/more mods to be ported to return to this - even simple modding is probably too much for one night)
-Endless Space 2
-Fallout 4
-Halycon 6: Lightspeed Edition
-Hyper Light Drifter
-Pillars of Eternity
-Civilization VI
-Stardew Valley
-Stellaris
-The Witcher 3
Those are all the ones I'm potentially up for playing that I either haven't started at all, or haven't finished (e.g. 19 hours into The Witcher 3).
Any particular recommendations SteamGAF?

Dead Cells and Stardew are the best games on your list. Get to it!
i sure hope so!
those are a lot of huge games, so i'm just gonna recommend my favorite out of the list, pillars of eternity
if u can swallow the real time with pause combat, it's got some of my favorite crpg writing and it has really good companions and i really enjoy how grounded and believable its world is, as well as the themes it covers
the combat is also pretty fun, even if it's rtwp which is like the worst type of rpg combat
Sure. The fans are working hard at re-translating it.
Oh, you meant officially? Avanlaugh.

Price isn't listed on it but it's $17.99 USD according to their website/forums becomes purchasable on October 11th
Also Purchasable on GOG, Humble but they haven't put it up on those sites yet

Oh cool the download size for shadow of war is going around, wonder how big it.....
I guess some developers are saying screw data caps and download speeds at this point, give them that uncompressed goodness!!

Is it too late to vote Momodora 4 on this year's GOTY list? Cos otherwise, I've only got 2 that qualify (hopefully 3 if I can get my hands on a switch for Mario Odyssey).

That 100gb is still a preload? Yeah lol better don't do that.
Well, theres a screenshot of a steam download - I guess it could be from a journalist with a review copy. Still has to be big regardless.
Get some.
If you win Elder Scrolls Online shoot me a PM. I have a secondary code for some in game goodies.

Every single thing I hear about Wardor makes it sound worse. It's incredible.
I can't think of another game that has so consistently brought forth negative news like this.
30 minutes to an hour depending on your HD/SSD speed.
~40 GB took me like ten or twenty minutes, when Total Warhammer 2 unlocked. (non-SSD)

I think it depends on your CPU since it has to decrypt the files, but longer than you'd like for sure.
Could you elaborate? I didn't really look much into the first game. It looked like another AAA action game albeit with an interesting (nemesis) system.

I might have to go back and play Banished to whet my appetite after learning of Frostpunk (This War of Mine developers, supposedly releasing later this year) and Industries of Titan (estimated for 2018).
Holy shit I did not realize how much I needed fresh takes on the city-builder genre in my life.
Also, I ended up starting a new file in Stardew as the game of choice for this weekend, but I didnt actually play any yet since it got too late. My real problem is too many damn good games to play though.

Real ending is walled behind a very grindy mode you need invest money in if you don't wanna waste 60 hours of your life.
the only real tip I have is for late in the game, there are some ridiculous hidden walls that lead to entire zones (well one at least) that no sane person would ever find unless it was by blind luck.
But no point in saying now if youre just starting.

Worst part is definitely the loot boxes. But the download size, sexy Shelob, the sexy Shelob justification/"she's actually a hero, better than Galadriel"/etc, the true ending, and probably more I'm forgettable have been an unrelenting hellfire of bad news.
Like, the nemesis system was a cool idea, and a pokemon-esque system of collecting minions could be awesome... but not when it's twisted into monetisation targetting whales. It is a piece of mobile game design at the core of a AAA game; this should be a Dungeon Keeper iOS moment for the industry.
A cold, sobering look needs to be taken at the poisonous loot box craze sweeping video games.
Ah yeah I accidentally found a secret in the first five minutes haha, so I will probably be running around looking close to anything and everything.
Hah! Not that I see you all as my personal google, more like I do want to hear what you have to say.
