tbh blackwell 2 and 3 are pretty bad

[NIN90]

I just finished Blackwell Convergence, if you like classic Point and Click adventure games, you really should play these games, they are fantastic.

What's the right order to play these games anyway? I got:

Blackwell Convergence
The Blackwell Legacy
Blackwell Unbound

 

[Santiako]

theres a new coming out soon I think? the final one

Came out in April, I'm getting it this sale if it gets a decent discount.

 

[zkylon]

legacy <- this is the good one
unbound
convergence
deception
epiphany

 

[Salsa]

I played through all the Blackwells except the very last one that came out in april and they were fine, but I enjoyed Gemini Rue and Resonance more.

I have Primordia, should get on that.

 

[IcyRhythms]

Anyone want to take a shot at what AC4 may sell for during the summer sale?(daily)

I didn't like Primordia as much as I did the others, found it to be unfocused and its characters lacking. After the excellence of Resonance, it was somewhat disappointing.

I didn't find the 2 and 3rd worse than the first one, I did love the no items everything trough notes thing of the first one.

That's the thing tho, they were made by completely different people, look at the chart above.

maybe Wadjeteye should make a better distinction out of this, unless it works to their favour. They just publish the games.

latest AC getting more than 50%? unless it bombed (and it didnt as far as I know) the AC games take fucking ages to get proper discounts (on steam that is, amazon is another story)

i finally got 3 during the xmas sale when it hit 75%, and it was old as shit

 

[Dice]

Here is a bunch of desura keys, hope they still works, maybe someone needs them.

Thanks for trying to give me Shufflepuck, but this happened when I entered the key.

I ain't even mad tho.

It works in their favour in that consumers can trust Wadjet Eye for their adventure game needs, instead of fragmenting themselves into a handful of lesser-known studios. This helps them to collectively receive more prominence and recognition for their very niche releases and audience.

eh not really, new one's already announced, that vita port came out, and IV will be a year old in a couple months

they go on sale more often that people give em credit. I said i'll buy it below $20 and we're at least getting 50 off for sure. Im guessing 66%

you say you grabbed AC3 last christmas and it was "old as shit" when in reality it was just a year old, almost like IV now

I can't post in threads like that anymore. I start to become condescending towards people and get banned.

Seeing these threads makes me glad for not noticing the difference between 30 and 60 FPS. I even tried a few sites linked there, and for me both videos are the same.

well it's a double edged sword when there's a discrepancy on quality

Thanks Newblade for Soulbringer

While I know the difference I don't find the need for 60fps that important. As long as you can cap the game with no dips on either 30 or 60 you're golden. When the game can't handle that then there's a problem.

Though most of the time you end up just adapting anyway. Senran Kagura on 3DS had crap framerate sometimes but by the end of the game I barely noticed it.

Though someone play AC4 at 15 or less FPS is still a horrendous sight.

 

[Salsa]

30:

60:

I really don't wanna dwell on this but it's not an eye thing people. It's literally impossible to not notice the difference. "not caring" is another thing entirely and it's one thing to discuss that in those threads but when people say they LITERALLY CANT TELL THE DIFFERENCE then I just think they're being dumb

 

[Halo 2]

Night and day. I've done a lot of animation in school so maybe I notice it more but I completely agree it's hard not to notice.

I don't get why some people are so opposed to seeing those pretty models in silky smooth glory.

Puzzle Quest is 30+ hours long?!?!?!

Goddamn that 21:9 monitor thread. I'm now semi-serious in getting one.

Hope this helps:

I recognize Alan Wake, Dark Souls and Dead Space, but what is the fourth game?

Dead Space DLC I think?

yup, notes thing is what i liked and without that it felt like a ghost whisperer knock-off

and like boobs aside ghost whisperer is garbage

 

[Rhaknar]

speaking of sequels I should play because I loved the first one, the Kings Bounty series

There is some content that can look pretty close when you just switch back and forth between 30 and 60. But looking at 60 for even a minute and then looking at 30 makes it look like a slideshow and I don't believe anyone who says they can't see it.

My eyes can easily get used to either but the change from one to the other is always extremely noticeable.

Seriously though, I've seen some 21:9 monitors/tvs, and they all look amazing.

[eek5]

Goddamn that 21:9 monitor thread. I'm now semi-serious in getting one.

I really want one too. The best one right now seems to be that 1440 LG but it has no VESA mounting which kind of sucks and the stock stand doesn't seem to be that great. My next monitor is probably going to be a 21:9 1440 or a 4k monitor.

I'm leaning towards 4k right now because of the extra pixels which would be nice when I'm coding.

Puzzle Quest is 30+ hours long?!?!?!

yup, more or less. It can take more if you get into crafting, mount training and random fighting.

edited: if you don't do all side stuff, you can finish it in maybe 20 hours, never tried, but it seems about right.

 

[Halo 2]

pft give it 5 years

By then we'll be seeing 360 degree wraparound monitors.

 

[Tizoc]

Seeing TF2 Keys not going for anything under $2.45 is making me cry. Still waiting to see if my trade offers on TF2 Outpost work >_>;

The 39 steps is not what I expected. I wouldn't call it point and click, rather interactive novel or something like that and it bothers me somewhat that characters are apparitions in a game.

speaking of sequels I should play because I loved the first one, the Kings Bounty series

you really should!
And I should stop playing games for rewards and get to finishing Warriors of the North too.

 

[sibarraz]

I bought another world and castle of ilussion thanks to the playfire rewards deal


Another world is amazing, I always love the boxart of the game and always was curious for how will play, after 23 years is still amazing imo

Is cool to enjoy this game for the first time

Maybe they will release DQVIII, since they did an iOS port.

I hope they'll release Chrono Trigger, that was a masterpiece.

If they port the DS version of Chrono Trigger

Signs I'm buying too many bundles: I buy so many bundles that entering games I've bought into the database I use to keep track of games I've bought so I don't buy the same game twice has become too tedious, so I wrote a Python script to scrape Steam metadata to save me time. :/
