Big Vicera Cleanup Detail update with new level

Devil Daggers update with new enemies

Slain! update on the update, looking good

Five Months Later, How Has XCOM 2 Changed?

Wot I Think: Furi

Definitely not Dex -- in my recollection, it was pretty action-focused with little-to-no story beyond the basic setup of you vs. some kind of Sci-Fi fortress. Whatever it was, I think I only looked at its store page, and Ghost 1.0's screenshots and description feel like less of a match to my vague memories than CRYPTARK does, but thanks anyway.

Would you recommend to a fan of Fallout 1 and 2's gameplay?

yea, although i think fallout 2 is a better game story wise. most of the quests in wasteland 2 are serviceable at best. If you do play the game, I recommend using Ralphy as one of your rangers, he's hilarious. there was one time where we met these drug dealers and he goes "drugs are cool, i wanna be a drug addict" and another time when you rescue a girl he gets disappointed to find out that the girl already has a lover and comments "i hate everything".

10/10 companion, would recommend to anyone.

If this had been announced earlier this hear I'd might have been interested, since the concept is theoretically interesting, but now with Overwatch being a thing I have zero interest in any other MP focused shooters. Good for the people who been look forward to this though (let's be sincere, everyone saw this coming), I wonder how they'll handle the people who already bought the game.

EDIT: oh they explain that in the link, nevermind.

i liked wasteland 2 a lot for what i played it but back then i didn't feel like putting up with its annoyances for like a full game

i think they fixed a bunch of my issues with it but now i have so many other shit to play that idk
 
I wonder if they will give something for those who already have it, even something cosmetic like when TF2 went F2P.

Anyone who owns classic Evolve will be given “Founder” status in the new free version, and all the content you already own comes with you to the new version. As long as we work on Evolve, we will show our appreciation for our committed fans and early adopters with gifts, rewards, and special access. Why? Because you believed like we did, and we will never forget that.

So you'll get something. But what that something might be is anyone's guess.

When I see numbers like this, I kind of wonder -- how do you people all use the wishlist? Admittedly, up until now (and still somewhat so), I wasn't much of a PC gamer, so I only really used it for stuff I was absolutely sure I would want to play someday but wasn't ready to buy right now. Recently I've started to add things that I was more strongly considering but not as definitely as the former category, but even with that I only have 17 things listed right now. Are the power users basically just using the wishlist as a way to collect/track things they notice once, thing "hmm, that might be neat someday" and throw it on the pile, or what?

The wishlist for me is primarily a way to remember games exist, given the amount that comes out daily/weekly/monthly. Anything that looks interesting/promising ends on there and later on it gets bought or removed during sales. It's also a way to quickly see if a bundle could be a worthwhile purchase.

wireless adapter... for a bluetooth device? what?

Probably so you don't have to guess which adapter that costs 5 bucks actually works with the controller. Not every BT adapter actually works with the DS4 currently. DS3 even pickier. So if they made one that is a guaranteed working one, then yes make it.
 
I saw a guy walking around wearing one of those Mass Effect N7 leather jackets today.

Welp, I won the same game twice, lol.
I did send ModBot a message that said disqualify me, so I thought I was out.
Was I supposed to get a reply? Because I didn't.
How do I give the key back now?

Is it Stardew? Because if it is, slide it my way.

Is it possible to add any game to your steam library?

Steamworks games you can permanently add to your library.
Non-Steamworks games (think Blizzard titles), you can temporarily add to your library so you can get Steam Overlay functionality and let your friends know you're playing a game.

None of you guys has played Furi on PC yet? I've seen some people disappointed with it but the sparkling reviews plus that INCREDIBLE trailer is making hard not to jump into it. I just got two big releases, so I'm on a budget, that's why I don't wanna go blind on it, but ahhhhhhhh this game pushes all the right buttons with me.

That nightmare sequence in Wolfenstein: The New Order is sick as fuck. Wow I were surprised, such a cool idea! Great game so far. I'm looking for Max's toy car.

I was probably doing it wrong but I couldn't seem to get parry to work consistently. Maybe I was trying to use it against unparryable attacks or just flat out had the timing wrong but after a few instances I lost patience.

All the other moves seemed to have a trick to them but parry I couldn't figure out. it just seemed like the controls were clunky because of this.

That was enough for me to just go play a different game with my limited spare time. I will probably revisit it but not in any hurry to.

The problem is that the magical first pick-up-play of the game they mention is actually true. After that magic fades (typically within first 5 matches), you just quickly lose interest in playing the game. I still think it's a fantastic idea, pretty good implementation but for some reason it just doesn't have any staying power. Titanfall was actually kind of the same, though maybe the magic lasted a bit longer.

I am torn regarding INSIDE: either I buy it on Steam for 20€ with the possibility to refund, or I buy it on Humble Store for 18€ without any possibility to refund.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?

I feel like if you think you're that likely to want to refund it, you're probably better off getting something else or playing something you already have.

I played it through psplus. The combat is really awesome and challenging but the forced walking + the narrative that starts interesting but doesn't really go anywhere drag it down a bit. The last two bosses were also a bit too easy compared to the others.

I'm not sure I would recommend it at 25$. I think 15 would be a fairer price, especially considering its ps plus appearance.

What issues? I can't remember anything really bugging me except for the games balance.


Will be interesting to see the playercount over the next few weeks.

Send a message to ModBot with "nuke" in the subject and the key/link in the body, wait a couple of minutes, than submit again the key.
I would join that giveaway if it's for Stardew :p

One never knows. Imagine the game does not want to start, or some other kinds of weird issues.

Regarding the actual gameplay, I feel like this is not the kind of game for which I ask for a refund: I have been waiting for that game since E3 2014 and I liked Limbo (to some extent).

Maybe you answered my question in fact. :D

Haha where did you get Stardew Valley from? It was A Fisful of Gun, courtesy of neonglow. Hope he doesn't mind me re-gifting it.
