But then one day we will be. What then?! Aside from tears, I mean.
I want to say how fun One Finger Death Punch is. I played it at my friend's house and was very skeptical at first. It's deceptively simple with mad ideas and a near perfect curve of difficulty. I can't believe I missed this. The commentary is humorous and the game rules and mechanics are easy to learn. The only criticism I would give is the UI is slightly too messy although I understand what the designers were trying to achieve.

After installing SCP Driver, my USB Bluetooth dongle also stops functioning correctly. It gets renamed into "BTH DS3 Device" but in the notification bar its symbol gets red and upon starting and searching for bluetooth devices I get the message that the Bluetooth Adapter is not ready or something.
Not sure if that red symbol is supposed to happen but I think not, but the documentation does mention that:

Played a bit of Third Eye Crime earlier, it's a bit like a simpler version of The Marvelous Miss Take. Basically avoid the roaming guards, take the loot and escape. The mobile origins are obvious, the first splash/story screen asks you the swipe the screen, but the whole game is presented with great style.
The game seems to have been virtually still-born on steam but for those that bought the recent Indie Gala friday bundle it's worth a try-out and probably shouldn't be condemned to your bundle-junk category straight away!

Dragon Age: Origins or The Witcher?
Both RPGs available on Steam in my backlog. Didn't feel like make a whole new thread to ask that question.
Otherwise I might look at going back to Deus Ex: HR or starting up Shadowrun: Dragonfall. Got too much to choose from it's overwhelming at times.

yeah, i think it is normal. since one bt dongle will be dedicated for the controller, it gets kinda deactivated from normal use.
i mean, now that i managed to get xinput working, the bluetooth symbol is still red. so i guess it is normal that way.

I'd hold off on The Witcher 1/2 until 3 is closer. That way, if you decide to pre-order 3, the story will still be fresh in your mind when it releases.

The Witcher. it's click-tastic
Is The Witcher a celtic dance simulator?
The Witcher starts slowly but is probably much more finishable. Dragon Age is arguably at its best in the very beginning. Personally I just find 100 hour games like Dragon Age too imposing these days and prefer to play RPGs I think I'll actually finish.
The Witcher. it's click-tastic
Anyone else feels that Witcher 1 combos with Gold in sword fighting styles were way better than Witcher 2 ?
They're all great games.
Dragon Age Origins is the longest, with a completionist run with all DLCs and Awakening taking 80+ hours. It has a good, if cliché, story and good companions. I loved the combat.
The Witcher is my overall favourite game between those and a completionist run will take you 30+ hours.

yeah. the link in the post from the gaffer was for an old version.
the new version worked super easy and fast.
there should be a thread for xinput.
the ds3 feels so good in my hands. i really like it. hopefully rumble also works now.
ds4 looks super sleak. didn't try it yet and probably will take many, many years till i get a ps4 but i am waiting
Man, I won't have a ps4 until kh3 comes out (if it doesn't hit pc) but I still own and love my dualshock 4. Its so comfortable and responsive. I tried going back to using the 360 pad afterwards but the change was as jarring as when I first used a membrane keyboard after getting used to a mech; acceptable, but inferior. The ds4 is very very nice. Get replacement thumbsticks if you invest in one (grab ones without bumps like the bottom left of the first image here).
More reasons to like the ds4! I agree with you about the stock sticks for both controllers, but the grips I went for are incredibly comfy so I can't really agree. The ds4 is lighter but it still feels quite solid.Should had figured that was it xD
Who said anything about a PS4?

The light bar works (and has custom animations) and you can use the thouchpad as a mouse.
But to be fair I really prefer the sticks and weight of the DS3.
The Witcher took me about 75 hours to complete. I was massively disappointed when The Witcher 2 lasted me ~20 hours less (though this was prior to the EE patch).
I must point out that the ds3 I mainly use has no rumble feature so it's quite light and skinny.

Thanks for the input. Decided to go with The Witcher for now. Dunno when I'll get TW3 - probably not at its launch anyway. Have The Witcher 2 in my library ready for me whenever as well.
It plays fine with KB/M right? My 360 controller is currently unavailable which is putting me off playing a few other games.

Not me, the combat in Witcher feels horrible.
Witcher I don't think even has controller options. It's only in Witcher 2 it become more ground level oriented and controller friendly. You can play Witcher 1 almost like an isometric action RPG, just with timing attacks.
I actually enjoyed TW1s combat. It gets a lot of hate for being "too complex" but it's pretty simple to me.
TW2s combat would be great if it was properly implemented. While the Combat Rebalance mod does alot to help it, it's still flawed.

It's not complex at all. Pick the right stance, then click away, cast spells when bar is full, resume clicking.
I know. People can't seem to wrap their minds around it.

TFW you get valuable cards that show stable sales histories for 200-300 sales over a few weeks, but after YOU put them on the market is when people start lowballing for 1/3 or even 1/4 the price it had been selling for. Never playing the stock market.

I had issues too until switching to the 32-bit beta branch. Havent had crashes since changing that. Though I think it may cause the game to start to strain itself the later into one you are (with the extra complexities).
There are valuable cards?
I did just craft the rare Shovel Knight background though, so I guess that's something.

Welcome back. Someone wanted to know, now there's a poll. Tomorrow we get results!
Oh man, 4+ year later and I finally decided to finish Portal. That thing is amazing and I can't wait to start Portal 2. Super LTTP but hey, it was totally worth the wait and the insane backlog. Kinda stuck in a certain chamber right now. I know what to do but it's hard to calculate and aim properly when pretty much flying between dimensions.
I admit that I just checked the playtime that I have on Steam, where I have 32 hours. But it was my fourth time playing through the game, so a first playthrough might indeed require a lot more hours, depending on play style and difficulty.
And regarding The Witcher 2, I agree that it is short, but considering that it encourages to play both paths, I wasn't really disappointed. Overall I enjoy both long games and shorter games with higher replayability (like Alpha Protocol, that I finished 5 times so far).

When you're done with P2, see if you can find someone to co-op the co-op missions with.

It's okay, my backlog dates back to the Super Nintendo. I'm looking at you, Terranigma, Tales of Phantasia, Super Mario RPG, etc.

I'm down for that. Everyone seems to bail on just the 4th or 5th chamber.
Count me in! I've actually never played Portal 2 before. It's been one of those gems I've saved. But now that I'm working on completing the first, I know I can't wait to try the second.

Im about 27 hours in The Witcher and im probably about halfway through chapter three. Im not the biggest fan of fantasy due to the mystical aspects but it's approach to realism through its politics, drug trade, and "racism" makes it so god damn interesting.
I've said it in here before but im a big fan of the combat. Its super simple and kinda tedious but at least entertaining. The rhythm of the clicks become a psuedo rhythm game and the animations are so dumb and outdated that it's funny to watch

The interest in this topic keeps occurring everyevery few months in Steam OTs.
I'm always happy when others appreciate the first Witcher game. The second entry used CDPR's in-house engine in lieu of the outdated Aurora engine CDPR licensed from Bioware/EA. There is aalso radical shift in combat. They used a new system based off the Demon/Dark Soul series.
Happy birthday, have a great day!
For those that missed out the other day.

I finished Portal 2 but not 1, although I did play most of 1 if I recall correctly.
P2 was great, but I found the ending a little predictable which put a dent on the whole experience for me.
Now I own P1 on Steam but not P2 (played it on PS3).

All this talk about Witcher....
Should I play The Witcher 2 with a gamepad or mouse and keyboard?
