MS teasing a major new game announcement for Windows 10 event?

 

[derExperte]

The GMG thing is gotten from an e-mail.
It's from Playfire which gives instructions to register via facebook
So check your e-mail for anything new from Playfire.

Is it a universal link? Guess I shouldn't have turned off emails from them.

I wonder if it's Age of Empires related.

who knows ... it could be almost anything

 

[Jawmuncher]

Etrian Odyssey is so, so, so good.
And would work amazingly on a PC, hint hint Sega.

I have IV. But all I ever did was get to the first dungeon and get wrecked by a kangaroo.
It wasn't bad though. But i'm thinking of just waiting for the Atlus Tax to get off of Persona Q and starting with that. Then coast from there.

Looks like a new game even! Reminds me of Berserk.

 

[zkylon]

i'd play pc halo

only played 1 and 2 and really liked how they were like crysis-like in that they said hey here take this buggy or this plane and go do stuff

well, they ARE committed to PC gaming, you know lol

 

[iosefe]

maybe Stinkles droping the free AoE2 HD the other day was a hint before we knew it was a hint

MS own version of a Souls game confirmed?

 

[iosefe]

Dark Souls 3 exclusively for Xbox One and Windows Store~

when did this happen?

 

[Giever]

Does anyone know how to keep the images in my steam grid view the same size? Every time I restart steam, or some time passes, or whatever, I go back to the grid view and it has resized the images such that there's a ton of blank space between everything, then I manually have to set it back how I like it (which is having as little of a margin as possible).

 

[Tellaerin]

I beat that too, the horrible thing was you need level up your rep in order to access next mission everytime. So I used infinite missile launcher to create panic and destroy stuff, because I'm not a side-quest dude in free roaming titles

It was only "horrible" if you didn't enjoy the sidequests. I enjoyed those enough that I went out of my way to do them whenever I could, so I never had to worry about rep when it came time to do the main story missions.

Is it a universal link? Guess I shouldn't have turned off emails from them.

I was able to sign up by going directly to GMG's facebook, no email needed. There's a link right in an announcement post.

 

[Pachimari]

Is it possible to replace an icon if I have made a shortcut icon for a game to my desktop?

 

[Uzzy]

I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop with all this Microsoft PC gaming stuff. Will it be paid online, or a client worse than GFWL, or DX12 exclusive for the app store?

 

[Ozium]

Just completed Game #4 of the year.. it was Bayonetta 2.

Now I am thinking of playing a Steam game but no idea what to play... thinking of something that works well w/ a controller and comfy couch tho.

my review of Bayo2 if you are curious:

Spoiler

Bayonetta 2 makes Revengeance look like Devil May Cry 2

 

[iosefe]

@pcedf, eh?

when did this happen?

[freshVeggie]

awwwww

On one hand, the excitement of such a huge news..

On the other hand, the relief of yet another souls game not being not on pc.


I take the second hand anytime.

shit, you can buy a new car with one of those. congrats

 

[Knurek]

@pcedf, eh?

Obviously official Windows PC Engine emulator.

 

[Ruruja]

Is it possible to replace an icon if I have made a shortcut icon for a game to my desktop?

Replace the desktop shortcut icon you mean?

If so, right click > properties > Shortcut > Change Icon...

You'll need a file in .ico format and if you only have a PNG there are programs out there that convert it to .ico for you.

 

[fantomena]

Lol, Dying Light is 60$ on GMG, if I use the 20% code it will just be 1$ cheaper than the buying the digital Amazon version.

 

[Dio Brando]

There's no other way to go about it, really: DLC items on GFWL don't have keys and having people e-mail through proof of ownership/purchase would be a bit of a logistical nightmare for Codemasters' support staffers. Like BioShock, though, I'd expect the free upgrade to only apply to existing owners, with a new, game-only store sub put to use once the patch has gone live.

ohh, i see. thanks for clarifying that

I once got two Gunhound EX foils from a booster. Still have my old car, took a good long while to sell them.

Cool, will test asap.

I tried Knights of Pen & Paper + 1 last night.

I like it. I think it's pretty well designed, neat, and charming.

I honestly feel like I might bore of it after a couple hours though.

The fact that it lets you choose your own encounter strength is weird. It seems like the game is only challenging if I want it to be, which undermines the accomplishment. I can't put my finger on it.

 

[jshackles]

Awesome, thanks. I've got a bug report open with Mozilla so hopefully these features I'm having to strip to make this work can make a return in the future if they fix it.

 

[lashman]

lol, so true

 

[Knurek]

lol, so true

No more JimFnSterlingSon? I am disappoint...

 

[Momentary]

the plot thickens

A game with actual Berserk like combat AND atmosphere starring Artorias?

Dark Souls has the atmosphere, but damn I cringe when people say it's like Berserk when you control a character that moves like a 90 year old man in comparison to Guts.

 

[Jawmuncher]

lol, so true

I don't get it.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

One thing I think the Steam store pages should do is put positive & negative reviews side by side, instead of being mixed together in a single LONG column. It seems like there's a lot of wasted space.

Yeah like amazon should have like the Highest Positive and the Highest Negative helpful reviews side by side.

Tier 1 of GTA V will include GTA: San Andreas
(has probably been posted before)


how is the gamepad support in san andreas?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I don't get it.

If i had to guess, it's broken, full of microtransactions, gameplay is shallow, online focused, preorder bonuses, and trying to upsell you on a season pass because there isn't enough meat in the vanilla version. Oh, and exclusive retailer downloadables.

I haven't looked it up to see if any of this is true, but those are the things i think of when i read what he said.

(has probably been posted before)

it has poor resolution support, it has controller support but no xbox button prompts, and they removed like 15 music tracks from it. It's an embarrassment.

 

[I H8 Memes]

Evolve seems to actually be doing DLC half right. Sure their is DLC characters, but dlc skins are harmless. Supposedly the maps will be free and they are using DLC skins and characters to offset the cost of maps.



Edit: Speaking of GTA, I tried playing GTA 3 the other day and it said it had partial controller support so I figured it was good to go. However when I started playing the right stick controls fine but the left stick zooms into first person mode when I try to turn. Is that normal and I somehow forgot about a colossal game design fuck up like that?

Salt is in a very early state, but exploration is its own reward as the crafting system plays a key role plus the pirate element is rather prominent -- you can find clues that point you to hidden treasure and pirates of all types are peppered about the world, so you're not exactly alone (the game actually won RPS' 2014 GOTY award for Best Exploration whereas I've only played a little of it and that was about two months ago). Raven's Cry is practically Black Flag with a fraction of the budget, but I'd wait for reviews.

I played the demo of this and quite enjoyed it. Visually it's rough, but it captures the same sense of wonder through exploration that Minecraft did. I hope it ends up visually something like a Wind Waker in water colour eventually.

 

[fantomena]

Finished my Citizens of Earth 20 min first impressions video. Can't say anything due to embargo, but I have fixed some sound issues so the sound should better. Now I hope that my voice will be less deper (having a sore mouth these days).
