38 hours in, Nabs tells me if you go straight to the master puzzles in Paint it Black (when available) you get the previous medals automatically...
oh well at least I've been enjoying it >_>
you do? I've done a few master puzzles and it didn't look like it gave me the medals
Aye I just did one to confirm (because Nabs lies you see) and I got the pro medals aswell.
It would cut down on the game time since when possible you would be skipping the normal and pros and go straight to the master.
I did all the normals and was working on doing all the pros now and was saving the masters for last, hence the 38 hours >_>
sorry!
This is about to get crazy.
Wasnt a Shenmue remaster announced with 3?

listen to the mad man
I noticed a handful of older titles previously published by Kalypso Media got a new publisher: Assemble Entertainment around 3-4 months ago:
https://steamdb.info/search/?a=app_keynames&keyname=241&operator=3&keyvalue=Assemble+Entertainment
Today, Pizza Tycoon 1 and 2 for a release on GOG, same publisher:
https://www.gog.com/news/release_pizza_tycoon_pizza_tycoon_2
No website quite yet, but their twitter account shows them setting up an office and signing a contract:
https://twitter.com/assembleteam
Kalypso is still releasing games so I assume they're not going under any time soon. Wonder if Assemble is ex-Kalypso people taking some rights to older games or a newer company looking for older titles to relicense?

it's really impressive and magical and whatnot
i found it really uplifting and sort of terrifying at the same time?
it's also really short, it only took me like 4 hours

They refunded me this morning.
Have you tried turning it off and on again always works.
Debating about buying the current Humble Monthly or not, but unless I completely forget...I'll likely end up biting at the last moment.
I honestly hope any potential Shenmue HD release has developers who aren't afraid of adding in a couple of quality of life options. Just don't make them mandatory.

so now that it works, played that first level of doom
the guns are pretty great so far (i feel like they throw you that shitty pistol at the beginning just to put a frame of reference of what lame is before they immediately put an awesome shotgun in your hands like that's the real thing), and i really enjoy how they very clearly constructed arenas that are fun to do the game's challenges in. it's initially just really fun cos you're always jumping and shooting and running super fast, and not having to reload takes a while getting used to but it's just a dope feeling. i know there's secrets somewhere but i haven't found any and while these levels are mostly corridor->arena->corridor i find myself getting lost probably more than i should
but an hour or so in, i kind of feel tired of it already. the rhytm of shoot punch shoot chainsaw punch etc. i feel got repetitive even this early on and maybe it's the superspeed just not meshing well with my motion sickness but i feel really exhausted and a bit sick after playing it
i also feel like it's pretty cute that doom guy is like whatever fuck your story but you still get trapped in a room and stripped of your guns while a boring guy talks to you and you have a big map and colored keycards but it's still a very linear and directed experience of following an objective marker
i'll play some more of it cos holy shit it runs smooth but i can already tell this is not gonna win any awards from me
maybe cos i had my computer on for like 6 days or something but now it runs like super smooth 60 fps on ultra
it's insane, really unbelievable in the face of fucking dishonored 2 and hitman running like absolute shit no matter what i did
weird shit haha
like normally if i have bad framerate i'll just chalk it up to my computer being kind of old, but this was so weirdly specific at like 15-20 fps even on the menus and completely unaffected by the video settings that i just had to try
i started setting my computer to sleep at night like two months ago since i always fuck up my computers and they end up taking like 10 minutes to boot so i guess this is a side effect of that :T

it's insane, really unbelievable in the face of fucking dishonored 2 and hitman running like absolute shit no matter what i did
solved it by rebooting my pc lol
weird shit haha
honestly i only tried rebooting my pc with doom because it didn't seem to make any sense

It's so strange to hear that rebooting your PC to fix an issue is regarded as something weird. I'm still amazed every time I install new graphics drivers and don't need to reboot.
This can happen if the GPU driver crashes and gets locked to lower clocks (safe mode)

Just had an idle thought that it would be rather awkward if Blood & Wine ended up getting more GOTY points than the actual GOTY winner. It's not likely to happen since DLC can get a maximum of 3 points, voting for the category is optional
but it would be something if it did. I'm fairly certain B&W has it's category on lock more than any game does for the other categories.
and most of you heathen probably haven't played it,
GOTY voting is quite hard for 2016... I know that Deponia Doomsday is my #1 and Stardew Valley #2, but I can't quite make up my mind about the rest.
Do you have to vote for 3 EA games, or could you also only put in one vote for a single game? Because there is only one EA game I would vote for.

yeah, the old process without auto-updating and having to reboot your pc seems so bothersome now
you didn't get new videocard drivers every two weeks back then tho
ahh, interesting
weird tho, since i was running abzu just fine like 10 minutes before doom
could be, it's not a strong competition really

I sort of strangely miss editing config.sys and autoexec.bat, disabling the cdrom so I could have enough memory to use a soundblaster with some games. Of course I don't miss tearing my hair out trying to get both the cdrom and soundblaster working at the same time for games that needed the disc.

That'll do it. Windows and applications don't always completely return assets after use, after a while it can build up.
I know SWTOR is notoriously bad in this case. The game rarely closes properly leaving all sorts of crap everywhere and it's performance will degrade over time without a reset.
Do I need the mouse for this, or not? I can run the soundblaster if not!
Kids today will never know the pain of those choices.

So according to UPlay, Ubi have tracked 30 million free games claimed during the event.
While I can't recall when they started giving away free games, that would mean there had been at least 3 million UPlay users.
I call BS and demand to see receipts.
This is the same company that has no idea what the term iconic means.

Started Oxenfree last night. I'm about an hour and half in, but enjoying the hell out of it. Really glad to have picked it up during the sale. The pathfinding in the game can be a bit buggy at times (especially when the a.i. has to climb walls), but voice acting and presentation are fantastic. I really love there walk and talk dialogue system. Can't wait to get back to it either tonight or tomorrow.

After seeing Tizoc's post yesterday and then watching Giant Bomb's quick look today (impressively well-coordinated timing!) - how did I miss Ittle Dew 2?* That looks like a game that I'd love and, while I agree with other views that it may not sell bundles in the way that would be needed for it to be a headline game, I very much hope that we'll see it bundled at some point. For now, both that and the first game are now in my Steam wishlist. I guess that I've probably missed the chance to get the first game from a bundle, but now that has me wondering what other gems I might be missing in the bundles currently on offer from Bundle Stars... I think that I'll take a proper look through some of the older ones shortly.
*Rhetorical question - the answer clearly is that I've not been following the indie discussion threads here closely enough!

I really don't like RR that much. I just got all achievements for it after buying it on release, but I had way more fun with the other games.

I remember the original being a charming little zelda clone with a heavy emphasis on block puzzles, but I don't recall anyone clamouring for a sequel. I did like the spin-off card game, Card City Nights, so you might want to check that out.
