nah wasnt you. And you never used custom skins on SSF4? dude people make some crazy shit. Not just skins either, they make new hair styles and shit quality sutff. I go deep tho, different skin for each color on each costume for each character.
I spend more time setting up my costumes than actually playing when I was into it. Getting excited to get back to it actually lol
I love the word lewd

Gods Will Be Watching is easily the most disappointing game I've played in years.
The thread today has been less messy and Ive seen people quoting impressions so not everything is lost.
Disappointing games are usually those that have some expectation of greatness that have something to do with the developer, series, or gameplay design.
Did they really hype this up that much?
the internet did, not the devs. its like abyss odyssey really, with the same initial backlash. Although in this case I dont think it will turn around
back to the giantbomb thread with you!
just because people dont comment on it doesnt mean they didnt read it

Hmmm, somehow I think it will fail to disappointment more than Strider has. And the only other game I remember being super disappointed with at that level was FFX.
Lewd rhymes with rude. Coincidence? I think not.
And no, never messed with that stuff -- most of my SSF4 playtime is on consoles.
I have AE on PC, but didn't really touch it much until they yanked out GFWL... and even then, I haven't put a lot of time in because Ultra is coming.
The one thing I always wanted to do was swap Yun and Yang's movesets.
I already moved Teslagrad up to my favorites list, but it's gonna wait til I get my replacement Dualshock 4 now. Unless the game plays decently on keyboard, then I'm sure I can manage ha.
It was pretty hyped up before release at least around here.

That looks soo good, just hope they stick to their plans to make it free just not ftp.
join me in the dark side Frost, you will spend hours playing dress up, its magical
Im pretty sure I still have my folder with all the costumes I used back then, unless they changed some files in the switchover to steamworks, it should just be a matter of replacing the dir (I fucking hope so)
I agree, we been much better than in the past threads. i mean heck, I finally had time to sit down and write a review. So im proud of myself. I think if we can find a balance between of topic stuff, waifu and having fun and also talk about steam games and reviews. I don't see why that isnt possible.

btw, big prop to Nito for helping me with photoshop, i'm loving my new avatar now! i learned a lot from Sensei!
I know but it seems some need to see the same quote posted all over so they know people read it. I mean I read every single post when I enter the thread.
You are welcome. Make sure to keep practicing little grasshopper.I agree, we been much better than in the past threads. i mean heck, I finally had time to sit down and write a review.

The marketing, at least how I saw it, said it was a pnc adventure game with 'big decisions'. So I went in expecting something like Gemini Rue, but not such a slow burn.
Instead, its an uninteresting resource management game.
Rhaknar, for this one to be saved, the dev & Devolver would need to substantially change the product - at least the introduction and first chapter.
So, anyone going to gamescom? I wanted to, but had to reconsider due to various circumstances. Can't complain though, because some of those circumstances might allow me to make a heap of money, so it's all good. Still, it sounds like a lot of fun, they're going to show Pillars of Eternity there and I read the other day that you can casually spot Gabe Newell there.

I know that feeling man
And as I've said before, even in this thread, I was very excited for it as I played it at an expo earlier in the year, and was my game of the show! Needless to say, it didn't come across like this.
I am also a person who tends to, even if against common sense, tries to finish all my games; call it OCD or something if you like. Nevertheless I am almost at my limit with this game.

I haven't been this disappointed since Dragon Age II.
the internet did, not the devs. its like abyss odyssey really, with the same initial backlash. Although in this case I dont think it will turn around
I was actually about to pick up Abyss Odyssey, so what was/is the problem with it? I guess you're saying that one turned out positive, though?
Oh yeah? Why do you feel that way?
I liked what I played when it was a browser game.

Abyss Odyssey ended up being too easy in the eyes of most people, don't know how it was turned around as hinted though.

Nightmare mode got added. It's pretty damn hard.

Poke through this list.
Well if you measure the amount of hype I had for Gods Will Be Watching, it was almost as high as DA II. so yeah I was disappointed.
I always measure my disappointment based on how hyped I was.
for example: I wasn't hyped at all about Iron Man, came out pleasantly surprised it was good.
another example: Was way too hyped for Man of Steel, came out so disappointed.

Very disappointing to hear. Is this due to balance and difficulty issues (that may be able to be tweaked/fixed), or is its gameplay more fundamentally flawed than that?

Why were you (and everyone else) that hyped for GWBW anyway? I think I missed out on the reasoning for that.
Also, you guys being so disappointed with it might make me enjoy it more
it seems like the game is based more on luck. than skills and decision making. Most people have said that on easy, it's way too easy, and on normal, it's way too hard.

Because! Gods Will Be Watching! I had to be hyped for it!
But no, I think I got my copy from nbnt. and at that point I have just finished The Wolf Among Us, so I was craving another game where decision making was a big thing, where every choice matters.
That what Gods Will Be Watching was advertising, so I thought I would get it. plus the art style and music was pretty good. (I played the website demo version)

Borderlands 2Hey!
I'm looking the steam store right now, please recommend me any Mac game, I don't know what to buy and I want a little auto gift for my birthday
Thanks!
Not yet, but it's not as though there's a lack of material to draw from so I'd surprised if Telltale doesn't intend to continue things.
Not really. Cheese the Fog Walls and enemies will stay standing and you can escape most encounters. Still the 2 miniboses at the same time can be hard if you are not well prepared which I guess makes it hard. Still I defeated Nightmare Mode on my first try.
abyss odyssey is a really good game, easily the best ace team has done so far
it's a bit light on content and it's got more animation priority than i would've guessed but it's a really good game
I so wish my DK2 was already shipped. Slowpoke who I am, I ordered on 24th of March >_< I hope I'll get it before the end of August atleast...
Nice, but already on my library
I'll check this!
Nice, I was looking for something like that. Thanks!
Right now I'm in love with the Destiny beta, so I will wait for it for my online cooperative dose. Thanks btw
Gonna have to to bear with Telltale's Borderlands and Game Of Thrones first.
I do hope there will be one.

Keep in mind I don't have everyone maxed out yet. But to be fair I haven't tried cheesing the fog walls either.Not really.

Beat Freedom Planet.
Will post full impressions later, and maybe should play more as I only beat the story with one of three characters (each character goes through mostly the same stages but have completely different playstyles, and some of the levels between them differ).
It was actually really, really good. It really reminded me of a Treasure game, had the sort of design with a bunch of gameplay twists and a bunch of awesome bosses in the style of Gunstar Heroes, but then gameplay matched up like a hybrid between Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega Man, and also feeling like its own thing.
It had big levels with multiple paths and acts that were different, awesome music, awesome controls, awesome stage design that kept things fresh, awesome bosses, and after taking a bit to get used to the voices it actually even had a pretty good story.
Though it go fairly challenging towards the end on Normal difficulty, it was a lot of fun, and I would really recommend it to anyone who wants a platformer that feels like a mix between Treasue, SEGA, and Capcom (in that order) during their haydays. Lot of detail, thought-out levels, and understanding of what what make good balanced platforming levels.

Thanks, Shadow - I guess, thinking optimistically, that the balance issues could, in theory, be resolved... but the concerns aired by bones seem to indicate that the game might have been fleshed-out into a full release merely by adding a laborious resource management layer to the gameplay, which if done well, could possibly be a good thing... but perhaps not in this case. A shame.
Cheers, Jase - I plead guilty to somehow missing that particular post (thankfully you never miss anything!).
