sure, and it probably is, you just don't see that kind of contempt for any other bad game

I'm having trouble finding these mean reviews. I just read the Softpedia and Destructoid reviews, and they seemed reasonable to me. It just seems like a mediocre indie game without much of a purpose.

I like CGI trailers, screw the haters. "B-but they are not real representation of the final product", first of all, no fucking shit, second of all, not even gameplay videos nowadays, why not just enjoy them?

CGI game trailers are like if a movie trailer showed nothing but concept artwork. Can't get excited for that one bit, I'd prefer bullshitty gameplay but understand why publishers will show less and less to avoid shitstorms.

Can confirm, I grew to hate both.

Steam reviews are positive too though mostly short and wannabe-funny.

As one of the resident first-person-experience hawkers, it's my duty to inform everyone that Shape of the World now has a Kickstarter. Wander a vast, colorful wilderness that comes alive and changes itself in response to collecting the appropriate markers. For those who wanted more out of Proteus, this is it.



I'd actually had a chance to speak with project lead Stu Maxwell some months back, where we batted back and forth the idea of feeling "lost" in an adventurous, fun way like when we were kids. The pleasure found in getting lost in a mall at a very young age and stumbling across stores we didn't know were there. The joy in finding a new and beautiful piece of land crafted by nature over millions of years, and all the drama you can extract from the telltale signs of battling the elements, plant growth and traces of animals that once called it their home.

They have a really good sense for what they're after, and I think the more "alive" nature of the world would do well to solve some peoples' problems with more static places like how Proteus presented. Though, I utterly adore Proteus, so...

looks pretty

I complain about people hyping the fuck out of CGI trailers.

But that's only a thing because people are fucking sheep.

I'm personally more of a sodding goat.

why do u care what other ppl hype?

yuraya said:
I really don't get why people expected a gameplay trailer. Its pretty much a lock for the MS conference in 2 weeks. I mean why would they release it now? Makes no sense. Its gonna be their big game which they will market and bundle to death this holiday.

dunno, i really don't follow the "trailer release schedule" lol

After watching Kingsman: The Secret Service, Microsoft aggressively pushing the free Win10 upgrade to everybody is making me very paranoid. haha

Got enough cents from card selling to grab some of the good (>=75% off) deals during the summer seal, I am ready! (thanks jshackles)

Looks like more stores are doing 40% off preorders for Batman Kumquat.
This doesn't bode well.


Also, happy birthday MMBosstones86

I love me some concept art, and it's not like game companies would only release one trailer during the promotion periods.

To expand my earlier witcher 3 recruitment stuff: they are optional, unlike in some Bioware games, which is nice. Those quests feel personal, I did them because I like those people and I wanted to help them, and they won't die just because I didn't run errands for them. At first I didn't know I could recruit people, I helped them without ulterior motives, and in turn, they help me back. Less benefits exchange more bro-ups.

I've played like 40 or 50 hours and I have no idea what you're talking about...

... Something to do with Kaer Morhen? ;'0!?

faux-edit: I do recall
making Kiera, Keira, however it's spelt, go there fer' protection... Hmm

Anyway, I really hope that, whenever we see a new Witcher game, it'll be about... Either rebuilding one of the Witcher schools, or about one of them in their glory-days... There's soooo much stuff there, y'know?

i'll try and do a giveaway later, Nuuvem doesn't let you buy multiple copies of a game you own, but I'll figure something out.

Happy birthday stone! Have a nice day with your family - now that you're no more a duo, it's an actual family!
MMBosstones86 said:
Hope I did it right.

At work, we have to bring cookies/donuts on our birthdays. I assume this applies to SteamGAF as well.

You guys are great.

Nah man, you are great. Really nice of you. I have it on GOG already but your generosity is appreciated.

Moving is just a stressful pain in the arse that every other fucker makes much worse than it needs to be.

Great work on the thread Shacks

Almost had a panic attack when I saw the 980Ti prices, then saw the actual UK retail prices and that alleviated my teeth nashing somewhat.

Speaking of funky new PC tech, Corsair seems to be cooking up something new in the small form factor space. The Bulldog. http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/landing/bulldog

I need some sleep.

Hope your move goes well but then again, it's a perfect occasion for unexpected troubles :p
Are you in London btw - asking if it's really that pricey as they say?

Wow the lighting is really good. Usually footage looks very stylized but here it could fool someone as real footage.

Kind GAFers? They're few and far between... though a few did pop up when FreshVegemite was spreading lashman's lies about my birthday.

Now you can be certain at least that many people love you ;)
corrosivefrost said:
I don't talk about my birthday. It's possible that my birthday was on the day FreshVeggie thought it was -- but there is no actual record of what the real day is on the internet, so it's up to whether or not you believe Veggie's source (*cough*lashman*cough*) was correct.

I didn't say a word about my sources!

Knew it. SE has been very PC friendly lately. Makes only sense. That 15 demo will come too.

Glad it's coming.

Wow, so soon?! Windows 8 is officially going to be least used OS I have ever used :O
Hope there will be a clean install way and not just update.

How in the world can you think that this music sucked balls?

No, that is one of the good tracks. Dang, can't find the one I mean on youtube. It was almost always blarring in the first Vizima parts. Hated it.

Not sure if this is a cool idea. But since everybody is shouting it's their birthday everyday I thought it would nice to have a list of birthdays.
Feel free to enter your birthday. I already entered MMBosstones86 and my birthday in the list.

cool, new xcom

i hope this one is less buggy

Because I've grown weary and tired of hearing the very same people complain when games don't live up to their own inflated, hyped expectations.
Click to expand...

i generally find it's a bad idea to care too much about other ppl's hype process, nothing good can come of it. if someone else is super hyped by something just let them, it's very hard to push against 100 million dollar marketing campaigns and hopefully they'll learn from their disappointments

personally i like cgi trailers cos i can get something enjoyable from games i'll likely never play
