It's X-Blades that's crap, Blades of Time is the sequel and isn't terrible.

Nah, Blades of Time is decent if we're using the whole scale and not shunning anything 7/10 or lower like it has leprosy. X-Blades is flaming hot garbage though.

Oh yeah, I always get those confused. My bad.

oh shit, all of them, or just the newer ones?


Really? That sucks. It looked really nice when someone posted screenshots of it in an earlier thread... But judging a book by its cover is a bad thing, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised. :(

Blades of Times isnt garbage. Actually there is enough cool stuff in the bundle but I see people take the banner seriously.

Blades of Time has a generally positive reputation, it's the predecessor X-Blades that is considered terrible.

The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
Also, Rocket Racoon is one of the current starting heroes (as in, one of the guys you can choose for free if you dont have an account yet) in Marvel Heroes, and Starlord is coming out with the movie (that one isnt free tho)

I think that if you made a ratio of budget:earnings, AAA video game adaptations of Marvel movies probably just don't make enough to justify their existence.

I'm really enjoying PixelJunk Shooter. Is the sequel any good?

If you buy a game that was being family shared, does your playtime and save get carried over?

Yep. When you play a Family Shared game, it's as if you own it yourself. So your saves, achievements and playtime carry over.

Neat, I've never seen the Apple logo on a giveaway game before.

iOS, d'oh.

how you can buy shovel knight 3DS key anyway ? or any 3DS games

I'm not sure you can, but some people might get promotional or review codes every once in a while

Great news!

Might I suggest adding some sort of regional markers for the Nintendo codes? I can see some confusion possibly coming from EU people getting an NA code and vice versa. Not sure how it would be implemented (maybe just an option that would make Modbot add a huge warning to the post).

Yeah, I need to figure out the best way to ask people to indicate that, but in the mean time just make it clear in the game name.
 
Was just kicked by my CSGO team because I was doing poorly. I'm pretty sure I was matched with people better than me. Either that or I'm just tired. Time for bed I guess.

Haha, Mono, don't listen to them!
Each game has its different strengths.
You'll like the first for all the new and fleshed out world, species and characters.
You'll love learning your old and new teammates better and care about them in the second. Also, Illusive Man is boss. The ending will get you choked up for all you've been through.
You'll be amazed at the scope events unfold in the third one. Whether you'll be satisfied with the ending should be left to yourself with an untouched opinion, don't let anyone get in your head.
Finally, you'll remember the way, the adventures and the friends you found and lost throughout more than 60 hours, not the last 10 minutes.
Enjoy the trilogy, don't let people focus you on the bad stuff
This is true. Even the 3rd game, with all its flaws and stupid decisions, has some redeeming qualities which I won't spoil. All in all, it's a great trilogy that sadly isn't as good as it could have been (in my opinion, of course) if it would have improved upon the first game instead of removing most of its features. And try to enjoy the journey as much as you can (it's mostly amazing), because the destination may not be to your liking.

I felt the same at first, but then I found out I was liking the new characters more than I did the old ones, and I really enjoyed learning about their past. Because ME2 is basically a side story, with not much going on until the very end (most of the plot in this game already happened during the intro sequence), and instead you go on different missions solving your squadmates' problems. But most of those missions were enjoyable in my opinion, so I could appreciate that game, despite being inferior to the first one in everything except the shooting department.

Oh definitely. The characters were great, and their stories are basically the reason to play ME2. And it is worth playing.

But coming off ME1 (and I literally beat ME1 and started ME2 the very same week), it's hard not to be disappointed that it squanders so much of the potential that ME1 set up.

Shovel Knights there isn't any way currently, but other 3DS games you can buy pre-made cards that come with cards at retail stores or online such as this that just give a code like Steam or otherwise.

Otherwise codes are given out through Kickstarters, review codes, and so forth. Right now a lot of people are giving away codes they acquire from Club Nintendo.

Hey SteamGAf quick question.

If you can choose one of these games to be yours right now. What would you pick? Divinity Original Sin or The Witcher 3?

Like if both were available right at this moment. what would you choose
 
That's about what I figured. Lame.

I actually wanted to buy a game for my brother on PSN a few months back. Since there is no way to actually do that, I just bought a $20 PSN gift card on Amazon and emailed him the code. I really hope they add options for direct gifting.

That, and wishlists would be great.

Witcher 3, as I already own Divinity OS and Triss is a fantastic waifu.

Divinity personally, but Witcher 3 is on more wish lists for all the fellow GAFFERs on my friend list.

Divinity. For one thing, it's out now. EDIT: If both were available, still Divinity. Love me some ol' school RPG goodness.

Oh, if both were available right now? Hmm. Well Witcher 2 is still in my backlog, so probably Divinity. My answer may change if I ever get around to playing Witcher 2 and enjoy it enough.

Divinity because I can't run the Witcher and GAF seems to love it.

edit: saw your update. Still Divinity because you know it's good.

Divinity, but only because it is available right now and everyone seems to be loving it. As much as I am dying to play W3, it still won't be released until next year. Might as well enjoy something now.

Edit: Oops, completely forgot the available right now option while typing the reply. Witcher 3 then no doubt. It looks amazing, and I have to see how they wrap the story up after the first two games.

You can play Divinity right now, so that would be the better purchase.

I'm sorry if you guys misunderstand my question. I meant.

If both Divinity and Witcher 3 is available for purchase right this second. and you have neither of them. Which one would you choose?

The Witcher 3. Divinity OS is 3D isometric, which is one of my lesser favorite types of rpg setup. Witcher 3 is third person and open world which are two of my favorite aspects of an rpg. It's not really a difficult decision honestly.
