Got a foil for the first time in like 400 drops and it's worth 23 cents. Okay then.

If it will make you feel any better I've got two foils that I'll be lucky to sell for 10 cents each.

 

[def sim]

Evolve alpha emails are out if you signed up and got lucky.

oh no

i cleared my spam folder without looking through it just now :/

 

[Double]

Here's a game that will show you how much I care about you GAF!

I actually have some fond memories of it, as it was one of the first games I played alongside my best friend back then... good times. Thanks!

 

[The Dear Leader]

oh no

i cleared my spam folder without looking through it just now :/

Ya dun goofed.

EDIT: Oh my god, and I just won Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor!!!!

 

[corrosivefrost]

I just finished watching The Banshee Chapter, scariness is subjective but adding that to my fairly small list of horror films I actually find fucking scary. Seems to have had mixed reviews, though. It's fine, there's horror movies that are kind of love it/hate it affairs I end up liking, such as I Can See You and Skew.

Also, hi GAF.

Nice giveaway... I'd enter for hatoful boyfriend to experience it firsthand, but I still don't even understand how it's even a game. Jury is out as to whether I should enter when there's probably at least 30 of you have have a real genuine interest in the game.

oooh Claire, nice one Dusk. I enjoyed what I played of it

Yes, Claire seemed kind of cool from what I played too... though I wasn't a fan of how the map just seemed to go on forever in spots and the fact that Dusk did not answer my question about how the fear system works.

Ahhh, everything is well and good and in it's place now. Well mostly.

 

[Fox318]

It's not a feline dating simulator brah

Don't you think the women that play this game will be stroking the kitty?

 

[BinaryPork2737]

That feel when I check my email and I finally get my Millennium 2 Steam key after nearly 3 weeks of waiting.

Feels good.

It's a visual novel. If you stick with it, you'll find that it's actually more than a pigeon dating sim. That's all I'll say

 

[def sim]

oh that bird dating game is out huh

that's something i'm going to have to play someday just to say i did

Ya dun goofed.

I really gotta knock that habit off, but it's so satisfying having no number next to my spam folder!

 

[Casimir]

Skipped around and first mission I saw was a fetch quest variant.

Kill X wolves.

Oh and why don't RPGs try new things?

Every RPG has the same classes. The same concepts. Warrior, Mage, Rogue. Dexterity, HP, Mana. All the same stuff over and over. Why.

It's like there are only so many ways to visually repackage combat types. Also, is it functionally different if they rename the stats?

 

[Hugstable]

Ya dun goofed.

EDIT: Oh my god, and I just won Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor!!!!

Congrats 40oz!!!

Payday 2 was fun today, even though we failed at stealth so much ahah

Aye! Fear system works that when you're close to enemies, things that look scary, or make scary noises, you start to panic. So it's audio/visual, and threat based when you begin to panic.

 

[kutthoat5150]

Yep finally got my evolved beta email

Thanks. I was trying for some playfire reward to max out the fear meter but couldn't actually figure out how to become scared shitless. :3

Congrats 40oz!!!

We still got so much XP. So much XP.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

I'm getting ready to reupload the new version soon. Frost keeps tempting me away from working on it...

I would like to thank frost for RE4 aswell! You are good people duder!

Every RPG has the same classes. The same concepts. Warrior, Mage, Rogue. Dexterity, HP, Mana. All the same stuff over and over. Why.

You've probably heard of it by now, but I'll say it anyways: Divinity: Original Sin heard your call and beckons to you.

It's similar, and yet wholly unique.

 

[Momentary]

Unity's season pass is 30 bucks?!

 

[Miker]

Are Evolve alpha keys redeemable by just anybody? Because I received one, but I won't be around to play it this weekend - it runs from Friday, August 1st (9am PDT) to Sunday, August 3rd (8pm PDT). If they are, I might just give mine away via Modbot.

 

[someguyinahat]

Oh and why don't RPGs try new things?

Every RPG has the same classes. The same concepts. Warrior, Mage, Rogue. Dexterity, HP, Mana. All the same stuff over and over. Why.

It all goes back to D&D. Which is in itself based on the Tolkien novels, although I don't recall them ever referring to hitpoints.

Why does every FPS game use the same control system to move, aim and shoot? Players get used to certain systems, and it makes things easier to understand, not to mention to jump in and start playing without a tutorial.

The gaming industry likes to play it safe. What happens when an RPG deviates from its basic mechanics? You get Jade Empire, which some people love and some people hate. The bigger question is, why aren't indie games stepping up and trying new RPG mechanics?

You seem shocked by this.

so much want

 

[Fox318]

So between Katawa Shoju and Hatoful Boyfriend which would you not want people to know you have played more?

 

[The Dear Leader]

I really gotta knock that habit off, but it's so satisfying having no number next to my spam folder!

I do the same thing, the only thing I ever check my spam folder is for stuff like that, alphas, betas and stuff.

 

[Rhaknar]

does anyone knows how The Secret World works? I own the vanilla version, and have been wanting to get back to it now that it doesnt have a sub, but I see none of the DLC, or "issues" on steam.

The massive edition says it comes with issues 1-4 and 5-7, so does that mean vanilla was 1-4? And then theres dlc called The Black Signal, which says its issue 9...so wheres issue 8? Any SW expert care to clarify this?

 

[The Dear Leader]

Congrats 40oz!!!

Payday 2 was fun today, even though we failed at stealth so much ahah

Thanks! Whenever you guys play some more Payday 2, let me know, I'm itching to play some.

 

[corrosivefrost]

I sent you a message about it, jerk.

Yep finally got my evolved beta email

I'm betting I won't get one, as I fucked up the submission process when I could couldn't find my SteamID64.

 

[rtcn63]

So between Katawa Shoju and Hatoful Boyfriend which would you not want people to know you have played more?

Which one implies a more than passing interest in bestiality?

 

[Enco]

You've probably heard of it by now, but I'll say it anyways: Divinity: Original Sin heard your call and beckons to you.

It's similar, and yet wholly unique.

Yup! I have it and should play it more.

The freedom is really nice.

Yea playing safe is the way to go most of the time.

Would be nice if we get a competent studio trying something new though. F

It's like there are only so many ways to visually repackage combat types. Also, is it functionally different if they rename the stats?

New stats? Don't rely on stats the same way? Ditch the huge tropes (evil taking over villages). Ditch the crappy quests.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

I just landed in the perfect teabagging after a momentous leap in Mount your friends and had 20 seconds on the clock to enjoy it. Jumping from one man to another using momentum and letting go under a time limit really reminds me of ninja-roping antics in Worms Armageddon and I love it.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I sent you a message about it, jerk.

You did? I sometime have problems getting messages to show up when I'm using BPM, didn't mean to ignore you if I did.

 

[Dragon1893]

Yeah, very much overall, although my extremely positive initial feelings are not the same as I finished the game, that were a little more underwhelming, incidentally as I have said I've spent a lot of that time doing side quests, grinding, and levelling my character; as a reference I have spent way less time on Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, that I also enjoyed completing a lot of stuff and side missions.

All the right elements for an adventure game are there: the feeling of being stranded on a mysterious island

Spoiler

with opposite factions fighting for the possession of some artifact

which reminded me somehow of Lost, the awesome music - the guitar tune in the bandits camp has grown on me -, the beautiful setting, when I started the game I was feeling like that was one of the best games I had ever played, unfortunately when I finished the game I felt the game falls short of its premises and potential

Spoiler

speaking of which where does our initial companion vanish after the first chapter?

, besides it has lots of glitches, yet I think it's a very good game.

Well it was obviously not a serious question, the time you spent with it makes it obvious but thanks for the impressions.
The games just keep piling up... I barely have any money to spend on them and I'm still overwhelmed lol. PC gaming FTW.

Lol well shit, I would have rather played Payday 2 than continue to get my ass handed to me in Abyss Odyssey lol.

We still got so much XP. So much XP.

Almost gonna be hitting 60 soon. I got like 2.8 million in cash just chilling now, I need to start buying more weapons to test out

Thanks! Whenever you guys play some more Payday 2, let me know, I'm itching to play some.

Yeah I'll let you know for sure next time we play.

 

[RionaaM]

So between Katawa Shoju and Hatoful Boyfriend which would you not want people to know you have played more?

Both. Which is why I haven't played any

 

[Fox318]

Which one implies a more than passing interest in bestiality?

Depends on how you view Misha.

 

[Ozium]

yes
YES
EMPHATICALLY YES!

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Would be more interested if Machine Games got it as far as gameplay is concerned. Devovler would be good though, a better fit overall.

 

[Casimir]

New stats? Don't rely on stats the same way?

....like?

Ditch the huge tropes (evil taking over villages). Ditch the crappy quests.

I agree, but this is not what I, or you in the part I responded to, was talking about.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

If we could only get a new Timesplitters in the next decade

So between Katawa Shoju and Hatoful Boyfriend which would you not want people to know you have played more?

I'd go with Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark, heard it was really disappointing.

 

[Cloudius12]

I am not an expert but did my research recently as I bought it for the future playing with a friend.

You have to buy the other issues from the developer's website if you don't buy them from Steam, but will be put into the Steam version. Silly they're not available on Steam, I know.

Vanilla is 1-4, ME is 5-7, 5-7 can also be bought separately, but from developer's website.

8 I hear is more filler, least certain about this, but probably deb website I would guess.

I was 100% accurate with 100% headshots with a silenced shotgun while under extreme duress? Guess I really am "frosty".
