I say "glitch" but many people think it was done on purpose to make the game longer. Who knows. Stat growth is worse, enemies are stronger and you learn skill slower so the game is infuriating if you try to start as a spell caster. You can probably find more details by googling the game, it's fairly well known that the English version is much more difficult because of this.

There are some things that seem to be adding up. The lack of a crosshair, the weird camera acceleration, and the weird walking acceleration. I think I'm going to hold off until some things are fixed, or I get a Steam Link so I can sit back and play.

Welcome back buddy. Been too long seeing you here. Got all weird without your Indie videos. Hope all is going well?
Since when are threads with these kind of titles allowed on GAF?
Sheesh. Investing all that time to make an addon just for jokes and stuff. Some people go incredible lengths for the dumbest things.You might want to uninstall the Master Race addon you're using
I try to have a positive outlook as much as I can, so I'll say I commend the passion of the dude at least.
Had to google Bitterblack Isle, was irking me not to know what game it is about, haha.
It's
Dragon's Dogma.

I was raped at level 50 as well.
I'm now on my NG+ hard run to take a revenge later.

That's definitely a screen of 7th Saga... I never actually finished it cause I always rented it like JShackles. I wish that'd get ported to steam, I'd give it another go now and see if I couldn't manage to finish it (I know I was in the second half of the game where I ended up getting stuck most times due to rental times and such).
[That happened to me in a lot of SNES RPGs: 7th Saga in the second half after what seemed like the end potentially, Final Fantasy II in the Tower of Babil right around the Magus Sisters fight, Final Fantasy for NES right around the Lich and the Earth cave]

Those Gamepro faces with backwards numbers- man
lol that's pretty weird
i remember that game being brutal but i also was a lot younger back then (ugh) and back then i'm not sure i was capable of much critical thinking much unlike the genius i have become with oldhood
but yeah that game was alright, i kind of didn't like it as much as my snes favorites (like front mission, shadowrun, super mario rpg, bahamut lagoon, tactics ogre, fire emblem, a link to the past, etc...) but i remember playing it a shit ton of it for some reason
yeah that's the thing i'm dreading, specially when i know it's super lengthy
like a few hours of this sure ok
upwards of 40 hours of nausea tho, that sounds very troubling
hopefully he'll get it sorted out, the game deserves better

Hahaha, if you're on hard, you won't be taking revenge in there until you complete hard mode and go back to NG+(x) and walk in there at level 100+. :lol
As long as they're different games, yes.
My copies of Batman: Arkham Knight, MGSV, and RottR all came from nVidia codes.
Like you already have MGSV from the Nvidia thing, and now you want to redeem Lara? Yes.
Not that anyone can redeem Lara. She's killed so many, tasted so much vengeance.

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.
I'll definitely have to check that out, because the game's absolutely brutal difficulty was great when I was younger (and had less stuff to play) but is the reason I don't regularly go back and revisit the game fondly like I do A Link to the Past, Earthbound, Actraiser, Illusion of Gaia, and Super Metroid all of which I typically play through once every few years.
The most popular trick is to kill the Gorecyclop first. The big Cyclop tied to the chains. He will kill you in 1-2 hit but he's too big to fit in the entrance to the room. So you run to the entrance and he'll get stuck and will kill your dumb AI pawns. Meanwhile you use ranged Ice attack and magic to kill him. If you stay away he cannot touch you. He can drop lvl 2 cursed weapons and armors. Once you have those loot you save before the lady at the entrance. Uncurse them and see what you get, if you don't like it reload and do it again until you get something good. You get some ridiculous weapon with 800+ magic or attack power that makes the rest much more manageable.
All four should work:

That's what a person trying to prop up his/her inferior version of the game would say, all the while PS4 players get the full 14 achievements experience.
Sucks to be you, guys!
You might be interested in this. It's a patch that replaces all the values/grwoth to what they were in the Japanese version. Apparently even the magic growth was broken in the JP release haha.
I went there on my 70s (and on Hard)and while it was ridiculously hard at first, a bit of cheese + Conqueror's Periapt x4 + Pilgrim's Charm and you just wreck everything and level up like crazy (i went up like 50/60 levels in a couple of days lol)

I just crossed 200 hours on Warframe. I love it. It's pretty opaque when you first start out, but once you figure the basic gameplay / resource "loops" it all comes together really well. They are also very, very active developers, and are constantly adding things to the game.
One thing that doesn't help is if you aren't playing with friends, people you get matched with via random matchmaking are going to speed through the levels at 500 mph blowing up everything in sight, and with your early frames, mods and guns, you'll be left going "whuh?" That, coupled with the fact that the first thing you should be doing is "opening all the nodes" in the solar system node by node (which basically opens up all the "levels" for you so you can go wherever you want for special missions when they pop up), and most people currently playing aren't doing that anymore, so it can be a strangely solitary experience.
About the only things that are really worth spending real money on are extra warframe / weapon slots and "potatoes" (items that double the mod capacity of your frames and guns); most everything else can be farmed via gameplay without too much effort (and they've set up the first 4 or 5 bosses to drop frame parts that will give you a decently varied roster of frames to start, from the melee-focused in-your-face Rhino to the more "mage" Nyx). And they are very generous with 50% off coupons, with 75% off coupons thrown in now and then too. If you end up really liking the game a lot, one $15 purchase at 75% off will basically give you all the platinum you would ever possibly need.

Things are going as well as they can. Nothing is critical on my end but they aren't exactly super stable.
Don't know if you guys have seen it already about there are these weird android gaming handhelds. the GPD XD just came out:
Anyhoo the same company that is making this is thinking of stuff an Intel Atom cherry trail into the same design.
The thread where it was discussed is here: http://boards.dingoonity.org/gpd-devices/windows-handheld-device/
Would make a pretty sweet SteamBoy
It's a robot crying.
Fuck it, got in on that sweet $20 RoTR. The only problem now is that I don't have the hard drive space. Might try to finish up Chris' campaign by the weekend then uninstall. Jake's infinite helicopters can wait.
How recent? It would've come with a code to redeem RoTR.

If you just bought it (or a month ago or so, I think) you should be able to get Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Have you played Terranigma/Sword Blazer? I guess you already did, because that's a fantastic SNES list.
jshackles
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.
I played the hell out of Soul Blazer back in the day, but didn't play Terranigma until much later as it wasn't ever officially available in the US. Outside of PC, I'd say the SNES is probably my favorite system ever.
I agree. The game is extremely fun but it is not designed to play alone (and if you don't have friends playing the game it will be a constant), some missions are pretty much impossible to beat if you go solo with certain warframes. On the other hand, playing a defense map with 3 guys it's pretty intense and it's worth playing the game just for that.
I used an augment that lowers physical damage received by a lot and am wearing a nice armor set I got in the Everfall, having a lot of wakestones also helps. As a warrior I constantly destroy enemies once I get them to focus on my pawns, I combo'd a thunder drake to death using Arc of Deliverance over and over by placing it into knockdown and immediately reactivating the skill, refilling my stamina with items as needed. (I was low 50s when I did BBI and finished at level 61).

Haha. True.
Playstation, to my knowledge, no longer forces any arbitrary # of achievements. This would be why full retail titles are not required to have 51. (I think Bloodborne retail had something like 36 including platinum?)
Usually, if anything, the PC version ends up with extra achievements that the devs cut out because they hit the upper limit (I think 50 + platinum was the max without DLC content previously... and digital only were focused on being 12 for awhile, probably because that was the limit that xbox imposed with the 12/200 points rule).

i bought it in december, came with some battleship game code or something
Haha guessed as much. SNES is also my coke.
There's so many gems on that system, although younger people often overlook the Genesis and specially the Turbografx-16!

I brought some 2x XP items, and brought 2 people that were 25 levels lower than me (Gives you a BIG XP Boost). BOOM. I became the hulk.

Why does my Rise of The Tomb Raider preload randomly have 0 byte updates throughout the day?
Also, this.

Can't we just enter BBI anytime? I don't think we have to finish the game first.
I'm planning to tackle it at level 60-70 or so.
I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

Damn, almost $100 for a game.
Q1
Man, I've been waiting for this for so long! Loved Botanicula and Machinarium. Guess I'll play the first 2 Samorost games soon.

It's just US $55 here ¯\_(ツ

15 hours seems pretty accurate.

Also- this last level in hexcells infinite

Played a bit of Xcom Enemy Within. Liking it so far. Had a funny crash happen at the very end of the first tutorial mission though. The unit went "Looks like the trouble is over" then boom crashed.

Playstation still requires a minimum amount and unlike Xbox only games they deem worthy get a platinum.
to be fair it has a platinum
i'm sure theres some mandated amount for platinums, else he'd just put "Start the game" is a platinum and no other trophies.
I find it amusing that sony stole achievements and made them so much better.
Seriously, platinum incentive is strong :x
