Because of it, my most anticipated game right now is the enhanced rerelease of Read Only Memories coming out in a few days. I hadn't even really heard about ROM and only bought it randomly during the holidays sale because it looked kinda cool and somehow found its way onto my wishlist (probably while doing the discovery queue from a previous sale). But when I found out it's actually set in the same world as VA-11 Hall-A, I got super hyped for it.

Good to know. I might play ROM next after finishing VA-11 Hall-A.

I hesitated on the ordering here for a while. At one point I had XCOM 2 at #1 but I figured if I was excluding Dark Souls III for just being more of the same, then XCOM 2 had to go as well. Honestly, I'm not even sure if VA-11 Hall-A is actually my GOTY. Maybe I'm picking it because I only played it last week and it's still fresh in my mind. But unlike the other titles in my top 5, I just can't move on from it. When it was over, I really, really wished it wasn't. I wanted to keep hanging out with these characters and serve them more drinks and I'm still listening to the soundtrack obsessively (it's actually playing as I'm typing this).

And I'm not really much of a VN guy usually. I mean, I love stuff like Ace Attorney, Zero Escape and Danganronpa but pure VNs don't appeal to me as much. I usually need at least some small amount of gameplay to keep things engaging. So, I was really surprised by how much I ended up loving VA-11 Hall-A.

I've been thinking about which tier of the humble bundle to get, your post here is pushing me towards that 3rd tier.

Happy fucking birthday indeed.

I really wanted to jump right into ROM after finishing VA-11 Hall-A. I was tempted to say fuck it and just do it but the new version adds voice acting and looks like it really improves the game overall. They're giving it as a free upgrade, so I figured I could wait a week or so.

The 3rd tier is definitely worth it for VA-11 Hall-A alone but the entire bundle is a pretty great value, to be honest. I own almost everything in it already and I'll still most likely get it just for N++.

That Switch dock comes in at 90$. Nintendo could have easily released portable only Switch for like 200$. The joycons are ridiculously expensive too wth. Cutting enough corners they could release a portable only version for like 150$ by the end of next year. Do it Reggie.

Also Happy Bday @ Kurt Russell and AHA-Lambda

Is Elite Dangerous: Horizons Season Pass eligible for DLC of the year? It was initially released in Dec 2015, but the major part of the Season Pass released in 2016.

I was about to vote that.

Dude my birthday is on Christmas Eve--growing up I had only one gift per relative ("Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas!") and as I got older I saw less and less of my friends on Christmas Eve as their family obligations always overruled my invites.

So, I can relate. Happy birthday!

Yep had two test and a presentation on my birthday three days ago. Through my birthday dinner all I thought about was did I solve question 5 and 8 correctly :/

Didn't you want to write Skyrim?

Steam doesn't let me review Skyborn. D:

Darkest Dungeon's new Radiant mode (its actually a difficulty setting), the grinding reducing update, will come out early february for those that have been holding off playing it, or those that want to start a new, faster (but still long as shit lol) run

Sounds like an improvement.

as someone who loved Darkest Dungeon and played it for *goes to check* 55 hours, yes, yes it does.

He appeared in the xrd seris iirc

He's Chipp's assistant IIRC. But he's an entirely new character for actual fighters in the series.

Tempted by Deus Ex Mankind Divided on Humble Store. Is the game well optimized? I'm running a R9 270 2gb and a FX6300 at 3.5ghz.

I started the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure game To Be or Not To Be today. The writing is very juvenile, but all in all it is entertaining enough that I can see myself trying out many different routes to see what'll happen. Having a

Interesting. Doing my GOTY stuff earlier made me realize I really need to get around to playing this already. I tried it for a couple hours when it first came out in EA and haven't touched it since. Might as well hold off for this update since it sounds like a much more enjoyable way to experience the game. Just the excuse I needed to finally play it!

Oh man, Killer is Dead is terrible. Not going to bother with that longer.

Going to start Ys Origin next. The achievements tell me something about different characters. Do I have to play the game multiple times to get the whole thing? If yes than how long does one individually playthrough take?

 

[fantomena]

Grief, Hyper Light Drifter under DLC? Wut? Am I missing something here?

 

[Anteater]

awww man I wanna play RE7 fuck

Probably the 60fps patch. Dunno if that qualifies as DLC though.

I think it's basically the same with different characters. At least I didn't feel like I missed anything after my first playthrough. I never finished with the guy because he's an obnoxious little shit.

Btw, don't pick the guy.

 

[fantomena]

60 FPS patches are classified as DLC? Makes no sense.
