You know me all to well!! If I could have Aria of Sorrow, Circle of the Moon, Order of Ecclesia and Symphony of the Night all on Steam, I would buy them the second it's available.

Wasn't saw 8 rumoured for 2015? Any excuse for a new game right?
Click to expand...

Yeah, Lionsgate is prepping another entry. Konami being contracted for another game seems like an odd proposition, though, given the first two pretty much bombed.

I now don't think that i want to replay Unreal, guess i prefer it to be the game i remember even if thats not the game it actually is :)

I still go back and replay the original Unreal every year or so. I think it holds up better than Gunman Chronicles (and I've still got my CD for that around here somewhere - thanks for reminding me!)

Are tractor trailers limited to 55mph in Europe? My truck can't seem to go any faster than that.

I see them flying down the highway at 70mph+ all the time in real life, so it seemed odd.

Holy hell, Gods Will Be Watching can die in a fire.

I've seen anyone who has made it to the 5th chapter moan about it, and now I know why. I thought the game was turning a corner on the last 2 chapters. Nope, it's just decided to save it's most frustrating bull for last.

The whole premise of the level is based on pure luck. If anything sums up this games problems succinctly it's this section.

You're not making me want to go back to it any time soon with impressions like those :/

I'd buy a collection like that.

Anyone played Only If yet?
Click to expand...

Having seen Jim Sterling's video of the game, I recommend forgetting that it exists entirely.

Basically, it seems like a game that tries to be 2deep4you but actually can't pull it off. Imagine a terribly voice acted protagonist wandering around areas meaninglessly while a poor man's Vaas that can't voice act for his life spouts memes, racist shit, and puzzles at you.

Square Enix are in the same camp. I'd snafu up Chrono Trigger on sight and Jshackles would love the missing earlier Final Fantasy's. In fact I think again a lot if us would. And I thought it was just Disney who were protective over their IP.

I'm sure if you squint your eyes real tight as well as being half cut you see quadruple the amount of characters on screen. Bam! Instant 4 player action.

Finished my first Unrest playthrough.
I can see it not being for everyone, but personally, I loved the hell out of it.
Yes there's a lot of reading to be done, but the game lets you shape the story all by yourself, from all sides of the conflict. Even some things that seem possibly trivial have their repercussions further down the line, and from what I've seen by reading through the lines and looking at the other choices, there really are very different possible outcomes for the story.

Never, because the Post Office doesn't want people stalking the mailman and intercepting the mail truck to beg for their package.

I think most of us would buy Chrono Trigger either immediately on during its first major sale. It seems like something that would make SE a lot of money, but of course they haven't done it yet. I wouldn't mind buying the other FF's at some point too.

It's good to see that Unrest might have turned out really good. If there are different outcomes and small things that have repercussion, then I'm guessing that the conversation system turned out well, right?

"A Trick of the Tail" is my favorite Genesis album. A mix of proggier leanings with moments of absolute beauty (Mad Man Moon and Entangled) with Phil's softer voice before he went all angry-baldy due to his divorce. I actually think they peaked, as a band, between 1973 and 1976. After that, it was never the same..
Click to expand...
Love that album myself, it got me into Genesis and prepared me for the earlier albums (Trespass through Selling England is a really great run). Ripples is a really nice example of prog with commercial appeal...helps that it's very memorable and well-developed. '80s Genesis just doesn't do it for me.

Cave Story is driving me nuts.

Mostly too easy for me, though. The Final Cave onward actually plays well thanks to the difficulty spike.

Jawmuncher said:
When I played Doom 1 I was surprised how well it held up personally. Especially when compared to Wolfenstein 3D.
Click to expand...
That's because pre-Doom FPSes were too slow as maze games and too simple as dungeon-crawling experiences (not counting Ultima Underworld, which was always about dungeon-crawling). OG Doom was the first to hit a great balance between action and exploration, a seamless fusion of Western and Eastern gaming influences.

Khronico said:
Playing through those two levels made me really miss old style shooters. I love the intricate, complex level design, the fast movement speed and combat, keycards, secret areas, health packs, and lite puzzles. It's such a good game that exemplifies that era of fps game design, and I miss that era so much...

If you haven't already played the Jedi Knight series, I highly recommend you buy them on Steam.
Click to expand...
Seconding this recommendation.

I'm surprised you enjoyed the opening two maps so much. Most players just want to wave the laser-schlong around as soon as possible, but there's a lot of tension to dodging blaster fire and dancing between groups of enemies that's lost in FPSes today. You have to be in the right frame of mind for this to appeal to you, I guess. At least I know now why Stormtroopers have a hard time landing hits.

Been away a few days, but count me aboard the TitS train. For this, you guys are going to join my A-Train, okay?

Yup, each dialogue line has between 2 and 6 possible replies, with different states of mind that influence how people think and feel about your character(s).

Seeing SE's love for Apple and iOS you'd have thought they have made wave with SteamPlay Mac versions of their back catalog. Not like I'm strapped for stuff to play but hey I like to horde things!

For some weird reason I cant log into Steam on another laptop. My account is not hackled since it's logged on on my phone and my mail works.

Edit: It worked.

*drumroll* Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the SteamGAF Games Night Saturday Night Showdown.

nKzeUFw.png


In this event this weekend, it shall be decided who is SteamGAF's Champion Lord of the Scrubs in Super Street Fighter IV AE. Your champion lord will be bestowed the most glorious award, the Belt of Glory, to wear on their avatar and flaunt for all time! Or till next Showdown, where others again have the chance to attain such glory, and could part the champion of their belt, returning him or her to lowly scrubdom.

*behold the glory*

hGn0Cwo.png


The event will start at 8:00pm EDT, and will begin with an hour of free-form Endless Mode matches, so everyone could get a feel for the game if they are new or returning. The tournament will start at 9:00pm EDT. Entrants for the tournament can submit their bids in the group chat during the showdown, and we'll coordinate multiple brackets if attendance justifies it. Endless Matches will resume after the tournament.

Add me or MarcoZombieCannon to be invited to the group chat at the start of the event. Streaming will occur at my twitch channel and optionally at MarcoZombieCannon's.

Come one, come all; let the hunger for glory consume you. Don't hesitate for lack of experience, or worry about looking bad. As is the intention of every GAF Games Night, we're playing for fun and playing to learn. Except this time the stakes are huge.

See you then!

wha's your opinion on Duke, mate? It's either seen as the last "prog" album they did (which means it's fondly remembered), or their first foray into pop (which means it's hated for changing the band). I'm definitely on the former camp - but I do like 80s Genesis, despite the obvious differences in musical styles.

it says there were 3 entrants so they may have been throttled or entered for more than one (I had 7 in that giveaway and it was a FFA) and they won something else first... dunno
