Sid Meier's Civilization IV - Complete --MB-72C3F5E5C7C57D20- Taken by fertygo. 5 entrants total.
Just beat Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls for the first time, and did some bounties and a rift.
*shrug*
Egh.
I feel the praise D3 gets these days is mainly for its current nearly infinite endgame grind where it seems that loot is the one and only motivator.
The actual main story mode where you start at level 1 and go through a predetermined route and improve your character along the way is so poor that only Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms gave me a worse hack&slash experience in recent years.
Skill/item synergies and even the barest form of specialization just don't exist until level 20ish. Having a semi-cohesive build is just not a thing before that, you may have some skills that work well individually, but when you play it, it feels like you're in control of "just another random X character" (in my case Monk)
The arbitrary order in which you gain skills, makes leveling up not feel very rewarding. Once in a blue moon you may get a new skill or rune that you genuinely like, but it feels like you're throwing darts blindly and hoping one hits the center every time. Not to mention, as most numbers are tied to your characters weapon damage, which is tied to your class' main stat, only +Main Stat and +Vitality really matter in gear for most of my leveling experience.
I'm glad Grim Dawn is a thing right now. It may not have the production values or the "end game", but I actually enjoy leveling my characters from the very beginning in that game rather than an arbitrary late game point. Which is also same for Diablo 2! People might these days bitch about the lack of respecs in that game, but I'll gladly start a new character from scratch to try a different build. Diablo 3? No chance in hell

deus ex mankind divided 60fps pc footage with keyboard and mouse. i think it's one of the earliest kb+m footage to surface. unfortunately it seems to have some visual bugs and glitches halfway through, i hope that gets ironed out at release. but in terms of performance it seems solid and fluid, but i have no idea what pc he's playing on.

Just finished KR0 Act 4.
Ah how I remember that feeling of Lynch-esque 'I have no idea what it is I just experienced' =/
I'll be honest it's a game I just don't "get".
Then again it won't help that the last episode was 2 years ago either ofc

For long term playing and replay? Earth Defence Force. Shooting giant insects and looking for new weapons offers many hours of fun.
For an experience only done well in a few games (one of which was the developer's last game) and will stick with you a long time for the experience, go with Inside. Though, this will go cheaper quicker than EDF.
That's the thing, doing a character from scratch isn't why anyone plays Diablo. You can level a character to max in about 10 seconds with a very little amount of help. So you are right, the story stuff and the first time though the game isn't very exciting. The real game begins at 70 where you gain paragon levels and item sets. But IMO the real thing keeping the game going is the Seasons.
Each season they reset the servers and everyone is required to start new seasonal characters. Your seasonal characters will roll over to your normal account at the season end and you keep all the gear they had. So you don't really lose anything, but often new items and changed items will drop in the season only first.
The infinite endgame where items are a large part (but by no means the only) means of progression is fun and actually rewarding. There is a paragon leveling system, where you can continue to gain points toward your statistics as you kill stuff even at the level cap. Paragon levels are infinite as far as anyone has been able to tell and they apply across your account so your next level rerolled character will retain the buffed stats. You can reset all the Paragon stats whenever you want so you can shift your stats and things like extra crit around as needed.
Its a pretty fun system. Each season has a journey that has a list of objectives to complete which reward you with cosmetic stuff and sometimes selected pieces of set gear. Eventually you get an entire set for the first class you complete those objectives on each season, alleviating the grind somewhat. It also lets you get into the optimizing part of the game where gems, Paragon levels, skills & runes all become very optimizable for insane bonuses (like 5000% to X or Y skill and so forth). The end game gets quite a bit better.
The bad part is that at the end end game, all you are doing is grinding for better versions of the same items with higher vaules. Once you have done the optimization, all that remains is getting the items and making the numbers go up as much as possible. It is pretty fun for a while, but gets old quickly.

Poor D3. I still can't believe what Blizzard did to it.
Din's Curse, or rather, Soldak's ARPGs in general, endure as my favourites in the genre. (Outside of the king, D2.)

That's the reason I don't play games episodically. If the last episode isn't out, it just doesn't exist, as far as I am concerned. I have nothing againt the developement model, can work, can be a mess, like anything. But I refuse to engage with anything in such a piece-meal fashion.
you know, there's no need to remind me about every new spider species or whatever. by all means talk about spiders all you want (tho i'll appreciate if you don't post pictures of them) but i don't really need to know about this stuff
i appreciate the thought, but i live my life fine without being aware of their existence
thoughts on lost planet 1?
i might go for it, idk

are they interesting tho?
ahh that's a shame
thoughts on lost planet 1?
hmm that's interesting
i might go for it, idk
it's only on nuuvem, sorry
I don't have that option, all I have are
Xbox Controller (which is installed)
Xbox Controller DFU
Xbox Elite Controller
Xbox Gaming Device
Though I haven't noticed any issues using mine, but I've had it wired from the beginning. But I may have just not played any Unity games with it.

To anyone that's redeemed the Mafia II key from the bundle, did it redeem as the Deluxe Edition or as the Director's Cut?

Good, it's not just me. Guys at Humble seem sure they were given Deluxe Edition keys. I'm betting 2K sent over the wrong keys.

DF Retro: Half-Life - The Shooter Redefined On PS2, PC And Dreamcast. Pretty cool watch. Didn't know about PS2/DC ports but the changes there look interesting.

The combat and encounters become a bit of a slog towards the end and the final boss is stupid, but the first couple levels are a really cool experience.
I think for a lot of people that actually is what they played it for., at least the people who weren't hardcore Diablo fans already.
But you're right in that's not really what they designed the game around, so if that's what you're looking for Diablo 3 kind of sucks.

Aww, my stock cooler backplate and CPU retention mechanism are one and the same. It's all one thing that the 212 standoff screws won't thread into.

Looks like the complete edition is a bundle these days so you should get the base game discounted from it.

Remember when GMG would give 30 percent off or 27 percent off birthday coupons? Good times.
Anyway, doom and gloom aside let's talk about Doom. I thought Wolfenstein was amazing but wow, the shooting in Doom is amazing. The weapons feel good, the fights are hectic, the performance is amazing, etc. The only problem I have with the game is that the multiplayer just isn't good.
Very quickly on my way to perfecting it.

Yep, Director's Cut for me too (thanks, Rockin' Ranger, for the very generous giveaway!).

ooh neat. was not expecting to win that mafia 2 giveaway. I was gonna fork over the $15 for both battleborn and mafia but now... I think I'll just wait for the battleborn f2p version.
i remember loving the demo, the environment that game was set in and the grappling hook were really impressive back when
confusing!

Yes, but I did not expect it to be in a bundle this soon.
NBA 2K16's Steam user reviews aren't too hot either.

If it makes you feel any better, GMG completely disabled all coupons for my poor country and they went absolutely crazy with regional pricing.
As in, Final Fantasy IX on GMG costs about $290 USD after price conversion. That's two hundred and ninety US dollars. I know they region locked Taiwan from ever purchasing anything from them, so I don't know why they don't just do that for my country as well. It's clear as day they don't want any customers from here anymore.
Now this is interesting. It's the first time in a while that a Namco game has had Valve recommended regional pricing. I went ahead and bought it because I have a feeling it could be a mistake which they'll get around to fixing soon. If not, I'll probably refund it because I'm really not that interested in the game. Plus it looks like a direct port of a handheld game that really has no business being on PC/consoles (much like the Toukiden game).
Yep. Diablo 3 has the best combat feedback in the genre and it's leagues better than any of the other contenders. That is the single most important component in a game where you spend 95% of your time in combat. Other games offer greater build diversity, which is great, but that part of the game is basically staring at menus. When you get out into the world and start fighting, nothing holds a candle to D3.

God Eater 2 is Namco though so it's more than likely going to be a decent port
Namco America port = Tales of Symphonia port
Namco EU port = Tales of Zestiria port
So just hope the EU branch ported it.

It's not a good sign. Before you could get everything at 20%off or even 25. Now you can't. Deals are worse and even worse, it only applies to specific titles.

So, seeing that i miss ~75% of the giveaways by the virtue of living in one of the least populated time-zones, i've decided to do a long giveaway this time, i don't want people to suffer as i do
