Support NeoGAF

[aku:jiki]

Well, it still is in early access, so I'd say no. I don't like this notion of paying to beta test.

This is also valid. EA must not be supported.

The nice thing about "EA" meaning both Early Access and Electronic Arts is that clarifications of which one you're talking about aren't really necessary, since they're both bullshit.

 

[Hugstable]

Finally got to the much screenshoted "Rose of Remembrance" scene in Witcher 2. I didn't realize it was so close to the beginning of the game.

Geralt showing sexual emotion is....creepy.

I thought Rose of Rememberance was atleast halfway through for some reason? I haven't played Witcher 3 since like 2012 though haha -_-. I really need to do my Roche playthrough before 3 comes out.

 

[dark_inferno]

I guess. But there's times when Unity gets in the way of what could be a 1:1 Uncharted clone (albit with poor English/story) and that's really the biggest shame. They'd have to:

-Drop the melee
-Drop Unity
-Rework the traversal system
-Maybe re-work the gunplay, but that isn't such a huge deal since it's a "my first third person shooter" clipping issue

Oh and:

-DROP THE DAMN CAR CHASES

Otherwise it wouldn't be that bad.

From what i saw about the game its like everything besides that platforming. Yeah scrap the whole game and make a new one. Then it would be good.

Could be said about every bad game ever made.

that's not even real problem, if people want to pay for this, let them, I have no problem with that. OTOH games seem to be stuck in EA forever, some, I doubt, ever will leave EA. That's real problem for all and those who paid for EA and those who are waiting for Finnish game.

[Kaisersalsek]

I use Paint.Net. Its limited compared to photoshop and has less of those crazy effects you never use anyway if you're new to image editing. You can load it up with add-ons though

Me too. Could do with some more brush effects though (unless I'm missing them?)

It's during the first chapter (Flotsam, that is, not the prologue).

I should probably clarify. I'm not talking about the actual

'memory restore-y'

part. More the part where Triss makes here clothes disappear and Geralt goes to pound town.

Brace yourselves, Modbot giveaways are coming.

 

[Chariot]

What, how?

 

[Corpekata]

Chances are if someone is asking about "How is this game that's obviously still in Early Access?" they aren't looking for the opinions of "I hate early access" folks. Guessing they're wanting to hear from someone that's maybe played it.

 

[PandaPedinte]

don't we all?

Spoiler

I actually should work, so games don't come into the picture. (><)

And the worst part is I have a games that I started and still haven't finished, at least I try and finish smaller games now so it's an evolution.

 

[Arthea]

I thought Batman Arkham Knight isn't on sale even anywhere

Spoiler

not even EA stage (><)

As long as your giveaway end before mine does. You should be fine Also to remember to enter of course.

 

[ANuclearError]

Holy smokes Batman...

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Shit, if i wasn't already 2 games behind in the batman series then i would jump all over that. great giveaway.

 

[fenners]

Kairo looks good.

It's... Odd. Not much of a game. Heavy on atmosphere through visual distotion. I didn't dig it.

 

[kurahador]

 

[Deitus]

Shit, if i wasn't already 2 games behind in the batman series then i would jump all over that. great giveaway.

There's plenty of time between now and when Arkham Knight comes out to beat City, and Oranges is a prequel, so you can easily skip that.

Edit: Awesome giveaway by the way Shadownet

Play them. They are surprisingly good.

Oranges was good. Only had one problem. That was the fucking

Spoiler

Joker

. Rest was very good.

 

[PandaPedinte]

I wish Valve implemented a way to tag the games in my own library, only being able to assign one category isn't much pratical.

that's not even real problem, if people want to pay for this, let them, I have no problem with that. OTOH games seem to be stuck in EA forever, some, I doubt, ever will leave EA. That's real problem for all and those who paid for EA and those who are waiting for Finnish game.

It's a real problem but I think it's easy to identify if a game is going to be for a long time in EA, I just ask myself the following questions:

- How big is the scope of the game?
- What they promises to implement during the Early Access?
- Is it the first developer's game?
- Did the developer previously worked with Early Access?

 

[Hugstable]

Yeah City isn't too long either, even though it takes place in a giant city. I still have to give Oranges a try sometime before Arkham Knight comes out, but alot of impressions turned me off the game, and I just bought it during the summer sale just for that Mr. Freeze DLC lol.

Underrated game.

Damn, just when I was changing my avatar on steam.

It's... Odd. Not much of a game. Heavy on atmosphere through visual distotion. I didn't dig it.

That's not a bad thing for me actually. I love exploring and walking sims for personal reasons the most. There's a reason why miasmata is my numero uno on the wishlist.
I'll wait though, maybe I'll win it in a giveaway as none of the others are to my liking.
Thanks for your impressions!

If an Early Access game has a DDE or the Early Access price is significantly less than the intended final price then I'll endeavour to pick it up sooner rather than later, otherwise I'm happy to wait until it's on sale.

Giving away my (lovingly) backed copy of Wasteland 2 just because I'm not really feeling RPG's right now. Didn't even properly start Divinity yet. Even if I started a RPG frenzy I have so many good RPG's in my backlog that I think it makes more sense to give this away for someone that is looking forward to the game a bit more. The code unlocks beta on Steam but if for any reason it doesn't automatically turn to the full version when it is released then I'll sort that out then. EDIT: It does. Thanks JaseC.
