That bad, uh? I mean, from what I've heard the premise sounds incredibly stupid but, honestly, the story in SV was tolerable at best for me. Not offensively bad or anything but hardly what kept me playing. I kinda wished the game had less story and longer missions. Would've made it a pretty good podcast game.

I seem to be in the minority that feels it was a big step back. So take that as you will.
If you were to want to use it as a podcast game, it's definitely good for that.

Hey all. Have some video games in celebration of me being one year closer to my inevitable demise. Enjoy them because time is fleeting! Also thank you to anyone who contributed to the Humble Bundle today.

Heads up for anyone who likes Metroid Metroidvania-style games, keep an eye out for Exile's End-
header.jpg

Now granted calling it a Metroidvania is misleading, what little I played of it could give off a vibe of that style fo gameplay at first, but it's more of an Adventure game with platforming. Heck the first weapon you get? 2 rocks which you throw at a fixed arc.

Even though I am early in the game I've heard good things about it and it is a short game (5ish hours accoridng to How Long to Beat), so anyone who likes Action Adventure games should def. check it out once it appears in a bundle/goes for cheap.

I was wondering why it looked familiar, it's a remake of Inescapable with new cutscenes and music and such.

to make sure no tones are cut off. And this:

Seems like For Honour is going full on with its PC support, even going full on with Steam Controller API support, which basically means you can use any old controller and rebind controls however you want, with multiple sets for the situations that the game requires

The beta had a good Steam Controller config (not native, but just as good to me). I just had to change the right pad to mouse joystick and it was perfect.

It's crazy that they're going full SC support. I hope more Ubi games follow.

I played it back on Thursday or Friday. They probably just updated it.

That's really slick.

edit: It looks like the person who took that pic got it while pre-loading the final build. Awesome.

Good to know but even if you end up being right I don't think I'll mind too much.

Are the missions longer, though? In SV, you could really tell it was designed as a Vita game meant to be played in short bursts. Like, most missions took me less than 5mins to beat. I'm kind of hoping EV having a PS4 version means it's not as bad in that regard.

Did steam remove the ability to start a download manually if it's in the automatic queue? See three games that have updates but that option is gone from the downloads tab.

Those aren't modes you set, they are different types of measurements.

Depending on from which color tone to which other color tone a pixel transitions, it will take different amounts of time.

Or are all the listed bundles part of the BundleFest? If so, why is the "view bundles" button linked to the Chaos bundle?

A game in your library will be highlighted blue and say updated queued, and then if you go into your downloads section by clicking the bottom of the client it's not listed at all whereas it used to be listed with the scheduled time to download and you could put it to the top of the queue by a button press
