19 days away from the announced release date of GTA 5 and still no specs or pre-purchase option. This doesnt look good.
Is there going to be a disc release for the PC version? If so then they've already gone past the point where they needed to go gold.

Oh man. Kinda feel embarrassed for taking your time so much but it is greatly appreciated
Very useful tips here. I will focus on one or two weapons and upgrade them but I fear that I will get much better weapons later on and could have used titanite for those.
I am sooo not into grinding so yeah, I will try to force concentrate on a certain skills and weapons to level up. Meh, so far my weapons and skills are enough to succeed and have fun.
Fun fact: the weapons you get later in the game are no more powerful than the ones you start with. Everything has pluses and minuses. You might end up with what seems like a more powerful weapon later on, but it might have a super high weight, or bad move set, or cost tens of thousands of souls to level up.
No joke, I beat Dark Souls 1 my first time through with the Pyromancer hand axe I started with (with a little bit of the lightning spear in Anor Londo). It was like a security blanket and worked great.
The most popular DS1 weapons are the Long Sword, Zweihander, Claymore, Halberd, Giant Club/Large Club and so on. They are all weapons found early in the game. There super powerful weapons like the Black Knight Axe/Greatsword/Sword/Halberd, but they are generally for specialized builds as they cost a fortune to upgrade, have super high stat requirements, and are extremely heavy (and there's no guarantee you'll get the drop either).
A thing you'll notice as you go through is that almost every (non-heavy) weapon has a starting damage around 100. They all cap out around 300-350 at level 15. It's all about the move set and how you play.
Yeeeeaaaah I'm gonna have to make you post an in-depth guide somewhere or link to a great Dark Souls resource. I'm personally going to start a new run-through soon, since my first was awful and I honestly can't be bothered saving the savefile from the disgusting, smelly grasp of GFWL.
Ofcourse, you could always... Not do that. Either way, this is pretty handy info to a noob like myself, cheers
Hey, I love talking Souls games more than any other game. I'll help out any one I can in hoping they'll love the games as much as I do. Anything you want to know, I'll be willing to help out (DS2 too). If you don't see me on, just send me a PM so I can see the post and I'll do whatever I can to help out.
Here I a cool picture I took in DS1 to spice this thread up a bit:
Wheelman?My Steam-account is turning eight years today!
Hope I can give it something nice soon
Yours is manga, don't worry, you're safe.
Is there anything worth buying from the anime sale? Kinda eyeing Strider, Agarest, and yeah.. I already have TiTs and Korra.
It is R* we are talking about, they don't care. We will get info when they think it is good time to release ti.
Their continued silence is pretty frustrating. PS4 version is looking more attractive by the minute.

I just started DS1 a while ago after they got rid of GFWL and apparently you still need dsfix.
That's what Rockstar wants, buy PS4 now & PC later. Don't fall on it!
There is never a point where the website shows with zero bundles purchased. Today's bundle for example launched with 6 bundles purchased and an average of a little over $6. Other bundles launch in the same range. They certainly could launch with an average of nothing and it would no doubt quickly jump up (and in the very very early days they did just that). But that would undoubtedly lead to an otherwise lower overall BTA due to anchoring effects. It's not like anyone pays more than they choose to, so I understand why they do it. But insofar as what is "best" for the consumer, it isn't exactly fair practice.
As a counterpoint though, most of the early humble bundles (basically up until the EA bundle) would get high end donors like Notch who would put $500+ into the bundle, often quite early, which would result in the BTA jumping up rapidly. That doesn't happen any more, so I'd say overall most BTAs are about the same or often even lower. That ignores the fact that most weeklies don't have a true BTA any more though, and almost every bundle now has at least one fixed price max tier.

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale --MB-5E8A756E5D05341A- Taken by Water. 20 entrants total.
Yeah, achievements work if you set beta to dsptde 2.0
Well. I guess it was too much to expect.
Still, guess I'll give the game another go for the cheevos. Hopefully I make it past O&S this time around :\
Anyone has some experience with Gameplay Time Tracker?
I'm looking for a tool to track gametime for non-Steam games (mostly for 52games/year thread, but also for my own curiosity).
Don't want Raptor.
Anyone know of another tool? Or does the one linked above work fine?
(Kind of wary of a random Russian tool)

You need to update to the Beta build to access Achievements and Steamworks functionality. DSFix is still required.
If you want to keep your saves, then a certain process must be gone through. Basically, install the old version, apply the various fixes to get GFWL working, and log in. Then select the beta update and you should be good to go. If you aren't worried about your old saves and want to start over fresh, then just install the beta update from the start.
I chose to just use my old saves since I really don't have the time to do 2-3 play throughs to get all the necessary items, but starting over fresh would be the ultimate experience.

Finally, I can play the game with the creepy eyes. Awesome
Especially for XB1 "exclusives."
Right, Swery?
Really excited to buy it
in the summer sale for $9.99
"Finally"? Did you miss the last few minor sales or something?

Anyone who put Planetarian in your GOTY list -- please tell me why it warranted a spot in those five precious slots?

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
The problem with the iOS / Android ports of the Dragon Quest games is that they all force vertical orientation on the tablet or phone screens. They can't be changed to a horizontal layout like most PC monitors display.
So at best they would look kinda like this game does, which I imagine is a pretty huge turn-off for most people. Besides, the port of DQ8 is pretty terrible when compared to the PS2 version.
TWD feels without clunky Telltale engine?
jshackles, I am dissappoint.
Dissing Crimzon Clover? Say it ain't so.
Man, the game kept crashing on me after the opening cinematic untill I installed dsfix. So I couldn't even play the game till now.
It might be just me though..
I actually just bought DQ IV and V on DS as I've heard they are among the best in the series.
I think 5 is quite a nice number to really narrow the field down, maybe even 3 so it really is closer selection but I have a real hard time trying to put one title above another as I can like quite a few games equally for doing different things. Getting the 40 odd games of 2014 I had played reduced down to 5 was hard enough let alone rank them over one another. If I had my way I'd give them all 3 points a piece and declare them all the winners (and get my vote disqualified in the process).

Not a dis, just giving an example of what it would look like on the screen is all.
I've never actually played Crimzon Clover
You heard correctly, both are amazing. Personally I place them in the "god tier" among JRPGs such as Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI.

What about the DS versions of IV, V, VI, and IX? I mean, I don't think we'll ever get ports of the old DQ games, but do you think that ports of the DS games would suffer in the same way?
Its a fun short game with a basic but fun combat system.

It's not like the previous DQ game weren't made with a 4:3 aspect ratio - the ports should work just fine IMO.

Since it has to connect to steam, it doesn't really matter if its gold yet or not. In fact the disc could just be a steam install and a link to start downloading and that could have been pressed a long tim ago.

Yeah they definitely would. The iOS / Android games are mostly ports from the DS version. Although the aspect ratios on the individual DS screens are correct, you kind of have to think of it as one big screen on top of another big screen which is why it was done the way it was when it was ported over for phones and tablets.
Personally, I'd love to buy these games again for the millionth time on Steam, but I'm skeptical of it happening unless they re-port everything again.
Right exactly. It's within the realm of possibility for them to port these to PC, but it would require them to basically start from the ground up and re-port the games from their original source.

Was the best story I read all year.
While I love a multitude of games, I have always put story over gameplay.
One of the reason's stuff like TT games and the like do not bother me at all.
A splash of this and that

That was completely unintentional, lol. If you google 'nethack' it's one of the 7 images (3rd one) on the right sidebar, and I just clicked it grabbed it.
But, there's no doubt that randomized dungeon will get some people horny. I wish I could claim responsibility for putting thought into that choice, and it wasn't just my subconscious having a laugh.
EDIT -- actually, iirc that's a preset dungeon level, not a fully randomized one.
Those sneaky bastards!

Actually, to hell with it, I'm a bastard.
Mind you this is... Entirely mindblowing to me. Especially considering there's no such thing as caps here, if there was I'd have thrown a fair few fits loooong ago.
But yeah, I've had it for a few hours now, and I still can't quite comprehend it, lol.
wait till you try 1GBPS internet which is standard here now. (or will be for all ISPs in less than a year)

Your best bet is tracking down the PS2 disc for Dragon Quest VIII and playing it in your PC, which can look pretty awesome.
