This is it. We reached the end of the line, the internet is running out. Scientists warned us, but we didn't stop. The USA bought a few years by attacking Iran and taking their internet. But in the end it's just a finite ressource. This is the end of the modern world. A few weeks and society will eat itself. Without the internet the crazies will re-enter real life and those who have forgotten them will fall. It was nice knowing you all.

What is the area I can't return to in Ori? So I can make sure to grab 100% of the items.

Each "dungeon" type area closes off after you complete

Where are you from? Some contintents and specially some countries have god awful internet connections. Where I come from we don't even have symmetric speeds for upload and download.

Sometimes upload is just a 10% of the download speed

How sad nobody wanna buy my New Nintendo 3DS. Maybe I put the asking price too high. I set it at $368 including 20 games. The normal price for the N3DS alone is $220.

I live in a small coastal town in Western Australia. A fibre rollout is in currently in the final stages (September 23rd is the expected date the area will be declared ready for service, but I'm hoping the cabinet I'm connected to will be declared RFS sooner), however for the past ~11 years I've been on an ADSL connection that generally syncs at around 6Mbps and it was only last October that I finally moved up from the speed tier that imposed an artificial upload speed cap of 384Kbps (my upload speed is now ~1Mbps). Since my exchange -- which is ~3.5KM away -- doesn't have any third-party hardware, there aren't a lot of options when it comes to high-quota plans: you either pay through the nose for a reputable ISP or opt for a cheaper ISP at the cost of speed and latency consistency, although that being said my cheap ISP of choice recently forced me up from a $50pm 500GB plan to a $90pm 1000GB plan as it's trying to reposition itself as a "premium" ISP in the wake of the Netflix AU launch, which completely blindsided service providers (none were prepared for the massive uptick in bandwidth usage).

Happy birthday Shadownet. Remember, it's not about how old you are, it's how many year's you've been successful at getting another chance to celebrate life and be silly.

It's why they worry about our security and every time improve protection Steam Guard

So two weapon loadouts, double-jump, but no strafe jumping, and no ranked matches.

Are there forced ADS mechanics?

 

[Tizoc]

Uncharted is very much in line with the simpleness of Tomb Raider Legend and Underworld.

Legend at least does more with its platforming than Uncharted series. But if we're talking OG TR games they're worlds apart.

They are fun, but this is coming from someone who loves Gears of War. I think executions just happen if you melee someone in the red glow. They should make them like Halo assassination animations, so you have to hold the melee button down to get it. TTK is noticeably longer than Halo 4's, but not hugely so. It's very fast paced, but I wouldn't call it a twitch shooter. If a bad player gets the jump on you, you can still swing it around. That said, you can get into some pretty great player duels. There is ADS, I never used it, did very well anyways. Someone on my team mentioned a battle rifle(Halo) type gun burst normal fire, was one shot ADS. Like Right Lifle from Halo 4 I guess. Most weapons here didnt have an alt fire, so ADS I dont think is critical to playing. We only got to play on one map, it played well for the 6v6 TDM we were playing. Plenty of different paths, even hidden ones I only discovered after my first time playing. It had a good flow as well, you quickly could memorize how to play each area in the map. The Demon spawn powerup was appropriately placed in an open spot for teams to fight over. While the rail gun and huge armor pack were a little harder to find. Map never felt too crowded, even when all the player converged. Visibility seems great, can see players across the map just fine.



-Not sure on strafe jumping, circle strafe yes
-No sprint button, movement speed is pretty quick, but feels great
-Shotgun loses damage pretty quickly after a distance. I would shoot players too far and get like 14 damage on them. It's pretty useful in close quarters, maybe a very slight buff would help.
-Yes
-I think so

Even my sister (who only sometimes play mobile games), has noticed Telltale's illusion of choice thing. She then replayed the first episode of GoT without speaking just for laughs.

Wasn't sure if I should ask here or the regular Steam Grid Icon thread, figured here gets more traffic though.

Has anyone seen/made a Steam Grid Icon for Shadowrun Hong Kong that matches these for Shadowrun Returns and Dragonfall?

Interesting.

Actually seems like there is an emphasis on movement without the reliance on ADS combined with double jumping and higher TTKs.

I think people might be jumping the gun a bit with the loadout mechanics.

I missed out on Black and White, it's one of those games I always wanted to play back in the day. That and Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

At least Giants is available on GOG, unlike Black and White.

I still have my box somewhere. I remember being pretty excited when I bought it but while the game was fun, it didn't exactly live up to the hype.

happy bday Shadownet!



No not at all, still very much working my way through. After a series of small warp rooms I now have access to 3 new puzzles and they're all pretty hard again, haven't solved any of them yet. I'm taking a break now. I hope I can solve everything without a guide.

Now I'm here, have to do this with only 2 clones

Yo keep this coming, super fascinated to hear about your impressions as you play through.
