Hmm...that's weird. I added Rhythm Destruction to my wishlist a day ago and i just redeemed the game today with Frost's indiegala link. After i redeemed it the game was automatically removed from my wishlist. Has it always done that?
On the other hand, i just added Windforge to my wishlist to confirm this. I finally redeemed the humble bundle link that i had and it's still on my wishlist.
This is dumb.
gaben pls

It's a mix of XCom with the Long War mod and Street Fighter IV, with a bit of Divinity: OS on the side. I keep intending to sit down and really get into Divinity: OS at some point, but the Earth won't save itself! As for Street Fighter, well, I have to keep practising to avoid disgracing myself everytime my girlfriend wants to play.
Speaking of Skyrim, I keep trying to get the ENB to work for it, before really getting started on that game. Grrh.

Don't you mean...pooped up?
HAHAHAHAHAHA
it's Tuesday so yes.
I know it does that automatically for games bought on steam directly, but this is the first time indiegala has done that in my case.

Bushido Blade was not a good game.
I do not know why people look back on it so fondly.

Here's some Abyss Odyssey before the game fucked me over for the 3rd time.
I'm done with it until it's patched. Fuck getting screwed within 2 rooms of the end over and over.

How's the Long War mod? heard a lot of people praising it, but unsure if i should try it... although i didn't even finish the game
Even that being the case, screw health bars and regenerating everything. I want to put an axe through a man's head.
Maybe that talent can get the great potential the series has been keeping from reaching by the mediocrity of Bethesda out of it. I like the premise of the Elders Scrolls games is just that Bethesda cant craft what they want to give the players.
Bethesda only seems to know to simplify their concepts by each entry and in the way losing things that made it unique. Im not saying to go back to Morrowind days but learn what made the games back then interesting besides being a first person RPG. A team like Arkane can get something out of it and make it enjoyable at least even if that means keeping the focus a bit smaller than the usual map Bethesda aims to do.
Yes
yes, aside from some annoyances with the controls/ui they are really good rpgs
good writing, fun combat, really cool universe and a very detailed look

Dragonfall DLC is much better than the base game, but to play it, you'll need the base game itself too.
Yes.

you can't put a price on sparks
I like oblivion quite a but, but it was my first elder scrolls. Skyrim so far is fun, but the UI Is a downgrade even though it looks better.

I'm loving it. I'm only two months in and I'm already seriously overstretched, with hordes of my troops injured and spending weeks out of action, countries pulling out of XCom, the air war being horrifically one sided..
It's really hard, in other words. Which if you never finished the vanilla game, might not be what you want. The expanded options in terms of classes, weaponry, items and everything are great, but it comes coupled with a huge difficulty spike.
Yes and Yes. Shadowfall Returns has quite an average campaign that doesn't really show off the game or setting too well, but Dragonfall's campaign is fantastic.. and you need Returns to run it. So get both.
Mod it.
would like to know too, I only played the iOS version a bit but the controls were...well, touch controls.

I just put 1.5+ hours into Abyss Odyssey and really liked it.
I'm not crazy about the fact that it's the kind of game you have to dedicate a couple hours to if you want to seriously play it, but I knew that going in. I got through 9 map squares, 6 deep on my first run.
I wasn't sure what that first special I unlocked was supposed to do. Died before I got to really use the third special, but apparently unlocked the better character for next time anyways.
I like the graphics and don't have much problem with turning. The controls could be tightened, but I also use the right stick for attacks sometimes, which lets out a left or right facing basic attack if you press it left or right.
I felt a couple items in the shop should do a better job of explaining what they are.
The base combat and feel of the game is pretty cool though. I only managed to become one new enemy type, but it was nice being able to switch between two characters.
I will be playing more tomorrow.

it will be very useful if some one made a script so you can add a steam link in neogaf and it look like this

You have no idea. Thank you again Rhaknar! As cheesecake can attest to, I have been talking about divinity on twitter for ages now.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Depends on what you want from your RPG's. At the end of the day, I enjoyed FO3 more than New Vegas, though I liked NV well enough. FO3 was a moodier and more atmospheric game, and I liked wandering around, exploring the ruins and piecing together a picture of how the world was when the bombs fell from the relics and message fragments I found. The world felt like a living, breathing place.
By comparison, the Mojave Wasteland seemed like... I don't know... a stage set. It was just a backdrop that existed for the NPC's to stand in front of and emote. There's history there, but you didn't really feel the weight of that history in the same way you did in FO3. And since I wasn't as blown away by the writing or overall plot in NV as a lot of people here seem to be (it was undeniably solid, but nothing that knocked me on my ass with its sheer awesomeness, and not without its issues), that added up to FO3 being the better overall experience for me.
I squinted at that as I re-read it, thinking you were talking about a game which included the guy in my avatar.
Game titles, back in my day they were different.

Playing it a second time to get those achievements was a lot of fun and a different experience, I thought. Was fun going for no alerts.
I loved Dishonored, it came across to me like they gave you the powers so it forced you to choose between being moral and being a psychopath.
Nerd. :3
Man, I love bashing Skyrim and yet, I still put fifty hours into it. But after those fifty hours, I realized that after the first ten, I'd pretty much experienced all the game has to offer. If only Bethesda could hire some better writers and make their worlds feel alive. And fix the bloody combat!

Yep, seems like something for another playthrough. Thanks for the answer, will look into it after finishing it.
You sadly can't really embed stuff on gaf, otherwise we'd have been using the widgets for a while now
Agreed. Half of the fun the entire game was teleporting behind someone and knocking them out....problem was I'd accidentally kill them whilst hiding the body. No good ending for you!

Just got disconnected from Steam and it kicked me out of my Payday 2 game, wasted a bunch of time playing for nothing.

So after 3ish weeks and an unsuccessful RMA later, I finally have a working card again! I just upped the voltage through Afterburner +13 and that solved the issues so far.
My computer is now ready for Witcher 3.

Ha yeah I got the iOS port on iPad and it was just unplayable with those touch controls. I don't think I even made it past the first dungeon and boss just because it felt off. Thankfully it was only like 2 or 3$ there instead of the 11.99 DSIware price and the 10$ Steam price. I own it on my 3DS but I definitely wouldn't mind having it on a big screen. I'm probably gonna end up owning it by later tonight anyway lol. Last 3 nights I've impulse bought games once I got tired -_-
My brother actually gifted me Q*Bert haha. At least the cards are worth something! The prices of the backgrounds are insane for this game, puts some anime game backgrounds to shame.
