Can you unlock achievements while playing actual table tennis? That's what I thought.

If you consider a growing number of young adults stumbling around and lying passed out on the floor near the table achievements, then yes.

Yeah, it's better to be aggressive in 2 due to the extensive use of turn limits. You just have to make sure that you're not being too reckless.
I didn't know about this building until I was about 25 hours in. It would have really helped earlier when all of my regular soldiers were on the sidelines, I had to do a retaliation mission with fresh rookies.
But can you unlock achievements on Switch?
You can't unlock achievements on Switch either.

Hm, I'm currently subscribed because of the XCom2 bundle, might be time to see what all the fuss is about.

Ron knows what's up. Can't abide those savages who prefer it coming out under the roll rather than over the top like a sensible human being.

it's a great 'winter' game, i think. hole up, sink into the characters and enjoy.

Just realized I won Shadowrun Returns. I'm currently playing and loving Dragonfall so I'll go straight into it once I finish.

You gotta love the talent they got for the Trump inauguration.

Are you happy they will kill 3DS for that piece of crap?

they added that recent-ish
no idea about if they work with discounts or anything (I remember them advertising getting PSN cards and maybe saying the vouchers worked but not 100% sure)

So, next in my playlist was Genesis Rising, forgotten space RTS from 2007. Spaceships in this game is organic and they literally sucking blood from dead enemies to heal and gather genes. I spend hour only on tutorial and idea is freaking awesome, but i heard a lot about how this game is boring and half-baked. Will take a look at campaign later, i must give this game a chance after moments like this:
Also, fighters screaming "Suck them dry!" after receiving order to attack enemies.

Switch details seem to just be one bummer after the next.
I'm taking it very personally and it is hurting my feelings. Might even ruin my weekend.
I know what will cheer me up. Surely, the Humble sale has the Witcher expansion pass on sale!

I actually wonder if the 3DS will be a point of confusion for casual buyers. Like, oh this isn't the new Nintendo home console? It's a portable? Why is it $300? The 3DS is like $150. And it has a bigger library of games that are significantly cheaper. Mario. Zelda. Pokemon.
I'm just laughing at all the Switch details. I thought they had this thing in the bag with the hybrid-thingy, but then they just keep exceeding all the worst-case expectations. Sasuga Nintendo, truly well played.

Any news regarding SEGA PC port news?
What's going to be first, Trails the 3rd release or SEGA news?

Why does Steam keep recommending Criminal Girls?
Steam API functions now reads your browser cache, SteamGAF browsing now forwards anime recommendations to top priority.
That's what you should be asking yourself considering it recommends stuff based on your purchase and browsing history.

I use IE for porn and Opera/Chrome for Steam though.
Basically inviting malware over for a house party at your PC, then.

Today is my birthday, but the Switch killed Modbot 
i dont get why people were expecting anything under $300 for a new console
that's silly
what's the point of that choice existing?
if anything i think it makes the characters weaker cos my emily is a psycho but she's all like DADDY while another emily is like complete opposite which to me feels really inconsistent with the idea of a revenge story
it's like if agent 47 could just not kill his targets, he'd be such a lame character
i don't like games that treat non-lethal options this way, it's super lame imo
that's silly
i just find it pointless to have two completely analogous systems and one gives you a good ending and one gives you a bad ending. there's not even like a consistent dramatic character shift through the story, it's just ending A or ending B

So wait, Wii U emulation not only makes the games look better, but it helps make them run better too ?

Those are solid points. Another issue in Dis-ho 2 is that when you do a non-lethal kill on a target, you find the motive for doing so after you actually do it.
All the way up to it, I had no idea why the fuck I shouldn't kill a person. And then when I didn't, because I was going 0 kill, it's like, "Good thing you didn't because now this person has something helpful to say or do."
And, really, there's one non-lethal that is arguably more fucked up than actually just flat killing the person.
i also dislike it cos you can kill like a dozen grunts that are just guards doing their job but then you get a MORAL CHOICE TM to choose if you kill or spare this legitimately evil asshole that personally wronged you
and yeah, some of the non lethal target "kills" in disho1 were like, send this person to work as a slave in the mines or something like that
what's the point of that?
it's not something stealth games have done well often. i can't think of many games that gave you the choice to non lethally dispose of your enemies in a way that's not analogous to the regular lethal methods
i heard good things about this in watch dogs 2, actually
it made me really interested in that game, i should probably play it

6 hours into Planescape, can't believe I waited so long to play it. The world and writing is just amazing.
I haven't even reached Pharod or Ragpicker's Square yet.

Not killing isn't always the good choice compared to killing. Non-lethal doesn't equal "good". It wasn't a morality meter or a good/bad thing. It was high or low chaos. Just bad (killing) and worse (keeping your targets alive).
Man I also really need to play Planescape. I think the most I played of it was an hour, that's something I definitely have to rectify.
I also still have a retail disc of Baldurs Gate 2 somewhere lying around. I remember playing through the 'tutorial' dungeon and got overwhelmed right after, lol.
...That really brings back memories. Baldurs Gate 1 + Tales of the Sword Coast + 2, Icewind Dale 1 + 2, Neverwinter Nights + all expansions for 30.
One of my best childhood purchases ever.
that's not how the game presents it tho
you get an achievement for beating the game "non-lethal" and your chaos meter goes down and emily becomes less evil for it
the game is deciding for you that sending that guy to be a slave at the mines is the lesser evil choice, probably way over murdering half a dozen random people in the street or whatever
like, it'd be cool if the game responded to your "sparing" as the cruelty it really is, that'd be great and would make me more interested in doing it but instead it feels like not doing it is a fail state, like you took the easy way out and you get the bad ending for it
