It's just click-<wait>-click-click-click, blade oils or stone for extra damage/status effects and potions to give edges to Geralt.
Then there's magic.
Pretty much, yeah. I think you also have a few different combat stances to choose from (quick/regular/heavy or some such).
We haven't had any copyright law here up until 1994, so you can take a guess.
I'd say piracy is as prevalent here as in the rest of the world (maybe Japan/other police states excluded).
Funnily enough, rent is about the same here.
This plus regular or silver blades, depending on the enemy you're fighting.
Which leads to more profit: high sales with low profit margins, or low sales with high profit margins?
I can't really answer that question. If they ever lower the prices and find less profit, they can never raise those prices back again. So I guess they're afraid of that.
Again, some places have ridiculous taxes and uncertainty in the currency, which can also cause weird ass prices

So i have Battlepaths in 3 different bundles none have STEAM keys did I miss something or are they just slow?
Witcher's combat is really really clunky at best, but it wasn't a super hard game after you get past the starting area. Just be mindful of your stance (heavy, fast, group?) and correct weapon and click click click. I always used the combat pause to switch stances and weapons.
I realized today that I'm much more excited for E3 than last year.

It actually isn't funny at all!
How do you afford it?
I mean, here people living outside big cities have to stand gigantic sacrifices to send their kids to university
yeah, US peeps, you're CRAZY with all your loans and shit
).Oh well, in the end people are forced to live with their parents forever, and while this sucks, it's also super appropriate for our mommy's boys cliché.
It was one of those games that you had to install on Desura to get the steam key, no way around it. If you bought more of them as I did, though luck, no steam keys for those.
I ranted about recent state of greenlight bundles recently, exactly for those reasons, not getting keys, even when promised.

Ah I tried the desura method on the desura website but not the client..kind of stupid but thanks
Many thanks!
you don't seem so angular after all!
I hope I don't have it, I think I don't
you have to install it, just running client and checking keys won't help with this one.

lol

I mean, here people living outside big cities have to stand gigantic sacrifices to send their kids to universityand just the wealthies can afford to rent them a place fairly connected to universities (let alone the fact that in Rome public transport is hell broke loose, so you'd need to live right outside the university entrance to lead a fair school lifeyeah, US peeps, you're CRAZY with all your loans and shit

Just to add some further insight, here in Spain we're also pretty screwed. Minimum wage for a 48 hour work week is 600 (800 Dollars, although that is completely irrelevant.) Renting a room in Madrid, the worst room is around 250 and you still have to pay around 300 for University + 60 for public transport since a car in the city is impossible, and then add on some food. You literally have no time and no money. I've had friends in this situation and they hate their lives and fall into depression.
What's even worse is that we have around a 40% unemployment rate for people between 18-30. It's broken. I mean, I actually have a respectable job, I work around 25-30 hours for 2.5 the minimum wage, it's still impossible for me to move out. 800 for rent, 300 for utilities, and then food? Straight up impossible.
This doesn't even make sense. How do you think you would download your GOG games if your account gets banned?
In that case, it's probably a market bearing situation then. :/
Don't let digly read this.
Still bad huh? I figured it had gotten better in the last couple of years.
I have zero hype about e3 for some reason, I don't really have anything to look forward to, but I guess I might be surprised since my expectations are low.

Please read my instructions on those, pretty please!
These are actually steam keys, if you install games on Desura
I hope, I got right keys too. Sorry in advance for all problems it'll cause you

Battlepaths (Desura) -- MB-DB9AE63D5890CD83
GOG games are DRM free so you'll probably have the installer on hand and it wont be an issue. Plus it's better to spread out risk if you feel the need.
Wish I could get excited. Seeing a whole bunch of console exclusive sequels paraded around like god's gift to gaming won't be fun.
I'm still hopeful we'll see some great stuff though. Lightning Trilogy for PC please Squeenix!
Ya, that would make for great E3, imagine reactions! I would be entertained for weeks, do it SE.

Hopefully someone posts if there is a good deal on GMG, it has looked like a bad sale for the most part and they have a really ugly sale page.

I always look forward to E3 for the awkward presentations, stage mishaps, occasional surprise reveals and the spectacle of it all. Loads of gifs being spawned out which still manage to be funny even if I personally have no stakes in any of the horses being strutted around.
What I don't look forward to are the massive piles of bans from tensions getting too high. Don't get baited fellas.
Also don't look forward to the site being dead as per usual, I feel lost when I hit the refresh button and the site isn't there.

It's sorta like buying only dehydrated food because you're afraid of Y2K
There might be a biggie or two seeing it's the first time since 2001 that 2 competing consoles are out in the same year and even more so seeing that they're only vying with each other. How that translates to Win/Mac/Linux though is why I'm not too fussed as always but can't wait to see Ubisoft's latest fabricated demo offering that gets confused for the actual game in production and not just a glossed up demo for the
I don't have either of the new consoles yet, but somehow I just can't help but get excited for the first E3 after the console launch. I just want some surprises.

I'm now imagining someone having an underground bunker filled with floppy discs, zip discs, a handful of tandy discs and some burned CDs filled with DRM free games.
"You never know when you're gonna want to play Fallout during the fallout."
But what if you don't? For that matter, some Steam games are DRM-free too, so all you need to do is have them downloaded beforehand.
Spreading out the risk sounds nice in paper, but how would you put it in practice? 50/50? 75/25? Where do you draw the line? And between how many DD stores should you split your library? I guess it's a choice between "security" (because there are no guarantees that at least one service will keep working after X number of years) and convenience, and I'd rather go with the latter.

I hope we get to hear about The Witness.
Story is great. Once you get the hang of the combat (which does suck) you're home free.
I really should be I know... wasnt the first friday bundle also called every friday lol

Expect a bit of tedium in Act II. The swamps force you to do a lot of running around and extra questing which takes away from the story. Once you reach a certain point in that act though the game takes off like a rocket for plot imo.
I dearly love the way the story of TW1 went and it pains me that it does really take a bit of a struggle to get there.
Hangouts always works.
I enjoyed the swamps. All the mysticism and drowners gave it a Lovecraft vibe for me. Not knowing what crazy shit you were going to run up on also made it really tense.

A single bunker? No, they'd also have redundancies set up in hidey-holes all over the countryside, too.
One day you're out exploring some nearby caves when suddenly your foot is stuck in a bear trap. You look around, fumbling for some reason for this twisted joke, only to notice a shelf carved into the rock with a wooden sign reading "DOS Games A through F."
Decided to fire up Brink over the weekend to try to refresh my memory as far as why it flopped.
For some reason, Afterburner is reporting 120 fps but my own eyes are telling me it looks like it's running at ~30fps. So it's probably displaying each frame four times, kind of like how Costume Quest lies about being 60fps when I can plainly seeing it's running at 30fps and repeating each frame.
I guess the closest thing to Brink these days is Loadout, although last I played, it didn't have much in the way of cosmetic customization.
