I hope everyone realizes that Capcom can't be reasoned with. There is no voting with your dollars or passing a test.


Capcom can be influenced as much as a fresh shit in a wind tunnel on full blast.

 

[Miguel81]

What message? Stop making new games and keep remaking the same old games over and over again? No thanks

I'll stick with the "I want both" mantra. It's pretty much the best way to view these things, and it keeps everyone satisfied.

 

[TsuXna]

Revelations was not mediocre, was the closest thing we've got to an old style Resident Evil in a long time and it was great.



LLTQ and Analogue are much better than Bazblue, but I don't like fighting games, so meh.

I thought both of those games are simulators, which I am not fan of.

Do you have Ys games?

I have not. Would you recommend it?

Just read review on strider, looks like a worth game to buy for 5$

 

[Deques]

It's recommended. Be warned, Ys 1 and Ys 2 have a strange fighting mechanic, where you have to run into enemies in order to hit them. It can be confusing at the beginning but you will get used to it eventually

 

[Tizoc]

Strider is my GotY contender and I personally liked it.

...and Hell YES I'd recommend Ys, it's the great Action RPG series you've never played.
Get all 3 Ys games, or at least Oath in Felghana (Ys 3) and Origin. Play OiF first followed by Origin as Origin improves on OiF's already great gameplay system.
...and of course the obligatory

Well even if it's fruitless, that's still ok I guess. I have a great game to give away at some point.

Itchy. Tasty. (The Keeper's Diary is damn iconic).

Good games deserve exposure and being experienced by as much people as possible, which IMO is the thing that matters the most.

 

[Knurek]

Holy hell, RE1make runs at 30fps on PS4?
What the eff, Capcom, you're literally rendering a single player model most of the time. How can that not run at 60fps?

Capcom really is proof that we live in a random universe devoid of meaning.

 

[MRORANGE]

Is it wrong that I want the tallying to be done fast and for the list to be up quickly
Looking forward to seeing the results MRORANGE, I take it, it'll be its own thread on GD? Would help to expose more GAFfers to what good PC games are out there.

The plan is to post results here then make a thread on gaming side. Results around 17th January 9pm GMT hopefully.

Not only that but the frame rate drops pretty frequently.

 

[Tizoc]

Yeah, it's ridicoulous. I see really no reasons on why Remake can't run at 60 fps :l

As has been mentioned in the RE Remake threads, it is because of the pre-rendered backgrounds running at 30 FPS. You can ask in those threads or read through them to get a proper answer.

Oof that's almost a week away, looking forward to it regardless

Except that the PC version runs at 60fps.

Parity.

 

[Sini]

Yeah I get the feeling there's very few Win 8 owners here. Use a Microsoft Account to sign in?

I use 8.1 and that widows account sign in will be most stupid thing ever if it ever becomes mandatory. There's no way I will remember my 24 digit randomly generated passwords.

Also there's no way first party XBONE games on windows will be Steamworks.

 

[NingenJanai]

Congrats, you are the first gaffer to make it to my list.

I installed the update for the Steam Beta and now It's fucked.

the hell man.

Lol, I am actually used to that kind of mechanic since I used to play old games a lot.
I'll give that game a try, thank you.

I'll get one of them first and see whether I like it or not. Thanks :3

Get hype

It is coming to Steam, yeah we got no page YET but you know this'll be #1 in no time on Steam

We can still be steam friends though, right?

If you're just going for one, I'd recommend Felghana.

If I uninstall the steam software and then re-install would I have to re-install all my games?

The steam desktop is completely fucked for me.

Delete everything except for the steamapps and userdata folders and Steam.exe, then run said exe. It's practically the same thing as reinstalling Steam the traditional way.

Yeah baby, yeah~

 

[autoduelist]

Risk of Rain is pretty amazing. I had zero idea what kind of game it was going in, and discovered an absolute gem. Stage 2 destroyed me though, and I thought I had a pretty good run.

Does anyone know the source of this? I usually don't care, but I just can't tell if the dude just won the lottery or just found out horrible news.

 

[Shadownet]

Should I buy Van Helsing 2 or save my money..

 

[Dice]

Save your money.

Haha I have no clue, I saw it yesterday in GAF's OT and thought it was hilarious.

He definitely smoked something good though.

 

[Atraveller]

Been out all day, what games on sale today that you really consider as must-haves?

 

[Tizoc]

Ys games
Strider
King of Fighters 13 and 98 UM
TitS

Off the top of my head.

 

[Adventis]

Origin is PC exclusive, so it must've been Ys 1 or Oath you played on PSP. Origin is IMO the best game from the series on Steam, but it's arguable that Oath is a better starting point since Origin's story is tied in with Ys 1+2.
As for whether you should buy Ys 1+2 or not, it's difficult to say because the battle system in those games is pretty unique-you run into enemies and, if you don't hit them head on you'll damage them, while you'll take damage otherwise. I think it's a very neat system and therefore worth playing, but if you're on the fence it's worth bearing in mind that the games have all been 75% off before, and will be that price again, so you could wait for a better sale.

Hmm, after checking out some videos, think it must have been Ys Seven that I played and I just got them mixed up. Thanks for the advice, I'll give the purchase some thought then!

Attention, Hexcells expert:

what do? is there any way to solve situations like these without guessing? did I start in the wrong end, or what went wrong?

 

[Arthea]

Ys games

calling out hexcells expert:

it's obvious, only 1 blue hex is left, so top one is not blue.

It's from a YouTube video. They were playing FIFA and whoever lost had to eat a testicle as a forfeit.

Think this guy just missed an easy shot.

 

[Knurek]

Attention, Hexcells expert:

You have only one blue tile remaining, and the {3} one has only two before it
Meaning the single blue tile will be either of the three yellow adjacent to it.
So you can safely mark the upper yellow as not blue.
I guess it will have a hint that helps you.

EDIT:

Very positive writeup for The Depths of Tolagal
Was in a recent Groupees GL bundle, so should be in your library. Might want to give it a try.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

damn, busted. need more coffe, lol Focused too much on the bracket numbers, I guess

thanks for the help guys!

Thanks alot.

The BETA update fucked up something so I had to re-install it fresh, thanks alot.

HB does it again, I want Dream, and would bite getting 2 other games with it, but not $15 want. Somehow their top tier is almost never right, even when I bought it, I felt that I shouldn't.

 

[Chariot]

Oh! Now it's getting interesting. But srsly, Steam, make up your mind. I think I wait until the end, maybe they discount more VNs.

To Fantomena or someone else from Norway. Is BlazBlue Continum Shift Extend available to you?

SteamDB has listed a price for it in Norwegian Steam store.

Attention, Hexcells expert:

You never, ever, ever have to guess in Hexcells. There is always enough information on the screen to make your next move safely. You also can't 'start in the wrong end' or do anything wrong that would prevent you from moving forward.


EDIT - beaten to solution
In your example above, the 3 has {} around it, which means the blue must all be adjacent to each other. It already has 2 and just needs a third... 2 of the empties are 'possible' because they are adjacent, but the hex directly north isn't adjacent to the other blues so can not be it. Click it, and it'll have enough info to know how to proceed.

 

[Miguel81]

Just finished up RE4 pro. It was a bit more difficult than I expected, but it brought a sense of satisfaction upon completion. Now I've purchased my beautiful Matilda.

Both Assignment Ada and Separate Ways seem to have rather odd(janky) controls compared to the main campaign, and the pre-rendered cutscenes in the latter are bleh.

 

[rrvv]

how is KoF 13 in PC?

 

[Tizoc]

how is KoF 13 in PC?

Good port, get KoF 98 UM too, which is an OK port but has more characters and comes with OG KoF 98.

 

[gngf123]

how is KoF 13 in PC?

Great. Just make sure to play in borderless mode if you want full screen without noticeable input lag.

Netcode I believe is better than the console version, but I don't know how easy it will be for you to find matches.
