Hand of Fate purchased now. Played through the tutorial & first quest. It's really interesting and fun so far. I got very lucky with the cards/shops that came up during the first main quest. I like how all of your equipment and enemies appear before the battle. It honestly is a living card game.

just ran into a payday game in which a guy says he's cheating and starts creating bags with like $2m each out of nowhere and literally has like a big, red CHEATER sign on his head. like during the game creation a message thing would pop up and say "X cheated and gave himself an invalid weapon or asset"

ended up quitting the game but so weird that the game detects that you're cheating and doesn't stop you

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

wtf

Yeah, they seem to be more concerned with just building up a community that looks down on it, and will play on honor rules. Cheaters are easy to avoid, and there's no real competitive nature to the game, so it's not really hurting anyone else when they cheat. Just leave the game in the future, as you did here.

Yeah, the anti-cheat system is really strange for Payday 2. I actually got marked as a cheater once on HoxHUD when the Free Hoxton heist first came out. I apparently threw the server bag to the car too quickly. It detected the action as a cheat, deleted the bag entity and we were stuck fighting the cops forever while we tried to figure out what happened.

Turns out, I wasn't the only one with that bug. It was the first time I'd ever seen either layer of "anti-cheat" in action, and it seemed so unusual that it wouldn't just kick the offending player.

I played Payday 2 for a while and never came across someone who was cheating. Or at least I didn't notice. But then again I only played with gafers.

Also. LOL

just played through the first dungeon in EVOLAND and wow this game is great... definitely going to be completed for da fifty two

Just sunk a little bit of time into that - lots of fun!!

Gather, All.

I would like to take a moment to pay respects to Turfster and Servizio.

Servizio was braver than most. someone needed to call in the air strike. She gallantly volunteered. she had hope that she could run, but onfortunately, she was cornered by Chrysallids.
Likewise, Turf was unable to outrun the Chrysallids. But before they could take her down, she made sure that the other could escape by distracting the Chrysallids.

Both of these women died to further the progress of the XCOM bureau, and as a service to humankind

Sucks for my brothers in arms. Hope I can survive another tour of duty.

It's not very long so you'll have no problem finishing but it goes downhill towards the end and just becomes your regular 2000s jrpg.

yeah like i think i would've made like 60m or something if i stayed but i kinda don't want to ruin all the progression since i'm sure i'll get bored of it as soon as i stop quickly getting levels

, so it's perfectly acceptable to spend money on myself. I need a new headset, +100 points if it's XONE compatible, too, but I'll settle for PC alone. Preferably wireless if the latter ends up the case. I need suggestions. Which do you have? Which ones have you had and hated? Which one do you currently love?

It's a community-ran mod that Overkill keeps tabs on. Adds a lot of information to your screen without cluttering up the UI too much, as well as general quality of life improvements like not needing to hold down a button to pick locks, answer pagers, etc. There's also a lot of toys in there to tweak, like changing laser colors.

Been playing Of Orcs and Men about 10h, bought from Bundlestars week ago, and imo it's very charming game. Technically... Well, it's not masterpiece let put it that way. Combat system is not the best. But otherwise, i enjoy it. Setting is unique, you play as a goblin and orc and humans are evildoers, in general. Dialogue and voice acting varies from cheesy to good. But the most important roles are good, especially Styx, no wonder he got his own game, character with black humour and lot of self confident. I enjoy listening dialogue between him and Arkail, even it's cheesy sometimes. Story is interesting, i think i am about half away through, game indeed success in giving a feeling that these two characters are on a big, important mission. World feels interesting, shame game is so linear. Have to get Styx: Master of Shadows at some point.

I dont know why i like this so much. It feels cozy, it have a heart, i can forgive technical flaws.

The charm falls apart later on in the game, once you reach

Spoiler

the 3D areas, and especially the Final Fantasy 7-esque phase.

At that point it's just an uninspired drag.

Cthulhu Saves the World is waaay better at being a retro-throwback/homage while also bringing a lot of its own ideas to the table. I'd recommend it (highly) over Evoland, the latter of which lives and dies on its through-the-eras gimmick.

The new wooden poles are great. Way lighter than regular blocks.

I saw some Edge of Tomorrow talk a few pages back so I'm using that as an excuse to post this gif again.

I played the alpha and if the alpha is anything to go by, the final product will be a masterpiece.

I expect it to be about the same as the two souls games Miyazaki directed.
Really really good overall with spots of brilliance but also kind of flawed in some aspects.

It starts strong, but felt like it devolves into a really bad version of the games it "emulates" by the end.

I've never been partial to headphones to be honest.

If you're lucky and not picky, you might check your local Target. I found a pair of Turtle Beach Titanfall headphones on clearance for $25 (down from 150 or something)

It came with adapters for XB1, and works with PC/PS4. I've always opted for cheap headphones because inevitably the cushions would break down or a speaker would blow out..

That being said, holy crap these headphones are amazing.. completely blocks out the outside noise, extremely loud even without being powered.. etc. Durable, fairly lightweight, although they can be tight on the head (which is good to block out sound)

Even after being able to try a "high end" headphones, I still think I wouldn't pay more than $50 for a pair in the future.

Yeah LP3 is a lot better than one would think. Maybe not 60 worth but not the betrayal many thought it would be.

I just finished There Came an Echo, and I had a lot of fun.

The story was sometimes a bit over the top, and the strategy was not very deep, but was always fun.

Leading your men is very enjoyable, thanks to a perfect voice recognition, and it really makes the game feel special. It also creates some intimacy with the character, which I liked.

You made me have a very good time, thanks Feep!

LP3 is a surprise to me as well. Rough around the edges, but the The Thing meets Aliens vibe it gives off is grand. Spark did a good job with the atmosphere and story(so far as I've played).
