from now on im only gifting shit to offline people. turning on your computer and getting the gift prompt first thing is the best

I gotta admit that is the best feeling. I was having a shit day once and came to a gifted game. It wasn't anything huge, but at that moment, the thought really did count.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Now the problem being which FMA you like. It makes or breaks a relationship.

Why not both?

Spoiler

Brotherhood>Original FMA anime though. If the original had a better ending that didn't feel so abrupt, I'd like it more. Ready, Steady, Go is still the best op.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

BL1 is a better single player game with way better writing and a better story than BL2.

... but you're on my Steam Friends List.

I'm so confused right now.

Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood for life!

I did enjoy the first series OP/ED's more than BroHood's OP/ED's, but that's it. Both had the tearjerking "D&#867;&#770;&#848;&#775;&#782;&#859;&#869;&#776;&#842;&#777;&#780;&#855;&#835;&#850;&#772;&#788;&#786;&#874;&#871;&#822;&#820;&#817;&#816;&#803;&#837;&#805;&#851;&#827;&#841;&#806;&#846;&#803;&#854;&#796;&#845;&#798;&#815;A&#782;&#768;&#850;&#831;&#850;&#776;&#788;&#770;&#875;&#855;&#834;&#868;&#821;&#820;&#793;&#858;&#840;&#816;&#799;&#854;&#790;&#797;&#826;&#828;&#810;&#837;&#805;&#793;&#792;&#791;D&#874;&#777;&#787;&#769;&#788;&#842;&#876;&#848;&#782;&#829;&#788;&#770;&#831;&#873;&#833;&#860;&#808;&#856;&#792;&#839;&#810;&#816;&#815;&#818;D&#829;&#782;&#781;&#779;&#850;&#838;&#773;&#830;&#769;&#780;&#849;&#785;&#861;&#856;&#820;&#803;&#796;&#806;&#857;&#793;&#790;&#812;&#813;&#811;&#846;&#791;&#852;Y&#848;&#786;&#868;&#868;&#807;&#856;&#819;&#813;&#816;&#857;&#851;&#804;&#819;&#797;&#809;&#817;.&#775;&#788;&#849;&#871;&#1161;&#823;&#832;&#789;&#827;&#837;&#857;&#853;&#813;&#813;&#797;&#846;&#799;&#828;&#793;&#818;&#797;.&#779;&#855;&#831;&#834;&#781;&#781;&#794;&#842;&#769;&#778;&#877;&#869;&#770;&#879;&#831;&#821;&#847;&#805;&#846;&#813;&#790;&#806;&#826;&#817;&#839;.&#835;&#776;&#867;&#834;&#775;&#833;&#822;&#802;&#802;&#828;&#828;&#839;&#819;&#792;&#846;&#811;&#809;&#812;&#816;&#792;&#819;&#839;&#800;&#845;&#846;&#827;&#818;&#858;" moment too, which is okay in my books.

Just finished Singularity. Really enjoyable, surprisingly narrative-rich FPS. Didn't expect the almost survival horror-esque atmosphere the game exudes. Plot was neat, involving time travel and the repercussions of altering the past. Notes and audio logs scattered through the environments helped tell the story. Environments and enemies were interesting, AI was solid, gunplay felt good (game was developed by Raven, using UE3).

Nice variety of abilities at your disposal, unlocked over the course of the game - aging/de-aging objects and enemies, creating a sphere of slowed time that can be used to slow enemies or as a shield, ability to manipulate objects gravity gun-style, and a shockwave attack that damages and knocks enemies back, and makes out-of-phase enemies vulnerable. Puzzles throughout the game make good use of the character's abilities. Game has a fairly involved character and weapon upgrade system. Uses checkpoint save system, which may not be to everyone's taste, but it's well implemented here - frequent enough that you're not stuck replaying long stretches if you die, but still adding a mild element of tension you don't get when you can quicksave/load anywhere.

Game has multiplayer modes, but no bot support that I could see. Can't comment on that aspect of the game - tried to find a match to check it out, but it looks like I was the only person on the internet playing.

Overall, game was an unexpectedly pleasant surprise. Highly recommended.

Singularity is probably one of my favorite games from last gen. Wolf New Order reminded me of it a lot, in the "they dont make shooters like this anymore" way

Are you speaking from experience?

yes, I just said so above

ironically, I used to hate doing it, in fact If someone was offline I would skip to the next in line that was online and had whatever I was sniping in their wishlist. Oh well, live and learn! (now people will wonder if I ever skipped them because they were offline lol... the awnser is, probably ^_^)

 

[InfiniteNine]

Turns out Higurashi for Steam release WILL be getting new art, and feature new effects and such as the game is being made in Unity to port it out to multiple platforms.

First Chapter of the visual novel will release on Steam later this year, you can also buy the original game with the updated translation from their website, and people who bought the original game from their website will get the new translation and updated version at no cost at all.

Well I certainly wasn't expecting all new sprites! I'm guessing this is cheaper than paying Alchemist for the PS2 version's assets.

someone needs to compile all the creepy anime girl avatars and tell me where they are from.

Off the top of my head, Infinite Nine, Printer and Beelzebub all have creepy anime girl avatars, are there like a bunch of horror anime that I dont know of or something? is this a popular genre that I somehow missed, even tho im a huge horror fan?

you forgot the week you had female laharl. that was certainly horrible

 

[JaseC]

So, I have won Battlefield 3 (Origin of course). How do I make sure that I redeem it to get the uncensored version? Don't know whether Origin works like steam where keys are locked to specific versions or unlock the version according to my location.
JaseC not here, maybe I'll reask later.

Unless something has changed, there's a confirmation screen prior to activation that shows which version of the game your key is tied to.

Hehe infinite's isn't from a animu. Also I considered using my steam avatar here although I don't know if I'll get put into timeout because of it lol.

That's not creepy just tooo animu.

I can't even tell what your Steam avatar is.

I can't even tell what your Steam avatar is.

After looking at it just now, I'd say "nightmare fuel".

I just wonder what the people who got it in a bundle will get. I mean it was even in a Build a Doujin bundle to promote the GL-page for the game.

so... same as his Gaf avatar then (well, to be fair not his current one)

Good old Raven Software before they were turned into a CoD machine...

I hope Raven is given the chance to make a Heretic/Hexen sequel before being escorted to the chopping block... and on that note, Acti needs to get around to re-releasing Heretic 2 already. Just handball the damn thing to CDPR in exchange for temporary GOG exclusivity, like Squeenix does.

 

[Lain]

I just wonder what the people who got it in a bundle will get. I mean it was even in a Build a Doujin bundle to promote the GL-page for the game.

They'll get nothing I bet, but who knows. I'd love to get a steam key for it though.

it was so weird that Nolan North

dies so early

in Singularity,

Spoiler

its not like the game came out when he was a nobody, didnt it come out after Uncharted 1 and Ass Creed 1 at least

?

 

[Mokoi]

I have yet to finish it, but just want to say if you haven't bought Teslagrad yall should do that. It's pretty good, and the puzzles can be quite challenging at some points.

so... same as his Gaf avatar then (well, to be fair not his current one)

You talking about the shady one.

I don't know what it is, but I didn't think I was adding the right person based on the severe discrepancy.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

They'll get nothing I bet, but who knows. I'd love to get a steam key for it though.

I mean I choosed the game because I wanted to get it on Steam then. IIRC it was still the time every game had "If this game gets greenlit, you get a Steamkey."

Then somehow the publisher said something like "You wont get one, because we are using a newly translated version."
Of course a backlash happened and everyone should get one again IIRC...

I was surprised to see Nolan North, Steve Blum and Troy Baker (as "additional voices") in the credits.

And yep, Uncharted and AssCreed 1 were in 2007, and Singularity was 2010.

It released in 2010. Then Acti moved Raven to the chicken farm that is Call of Duty.

It's just some fanart based on this rpg maker game called Fleshchild. I have not played it, so can't recommend it. It does seems like it would be good since most of the decent rpg maker games are horror ones.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Man singularity was so good.
Would have loved to play another shooter in that sort of world from Raven. Shane Acti just bottles their talent to COD or other projects they're working on.

Where did the prototype team move to after 2 didn't sell as well for them?

[WARNING!: This game contains images of body horror, gore, blood, and violence. This game may not be suitable for everyone. (it is not scary or a gorefest, but there are themes)]

Kinda going back and forth on their it seems.
Though I haven't played it. I'll wait for the DuskGolem impressions.
