Remain safe? Good one. And to stop our downward spiral we should try to convince some new people to start posting in here, we really need more diversity.

whew that's a relief
Too bad that's an uplay code.
Blur is related to oversensitive camera, is it not? Thus, improving camera, takes care of blur situation, as much as it is possible.
I agree with this, we need to enter summer sale thread and be awesome ourselves for this thread's sake. I think we delegate Experte. Any objections?
edited: on second thought, we'll lose all French if we send him... Maybe we should send iashman?
you wish! 60€, mark my word

Can we find a means to tackle the common questions that the sales threads get spammed with? Like "is this game good?" Or "is this game worth $X?"
I know we already have sparkly banners for WAIT FOR DAILIES and that seems to have been effective but we can't seem to stomp out the other common tropes of the sales threads.
And that's not to mention damage reports and lists of gotten goods that always permeates the threads near the end.

Yes
Most of my posts are sarcastic btw.
edit: Ah, didn't noticed the bolded phrase.
Well, I dunno, I don't really check Autumn/Summer Sale Threads.
I'll check the upcoming one to see what kind of posts thrive there!
Oh boy.

I finished Van Helsing 3 yesterday and I'll post a better verdict tomorrow but as of now the verdict is:
Wait - It's an early access game pushed out as a full release obviously to meet a schedule. Bugs everywhere and whole areas/mechanics completely missing.

Link Man made a separate thread in one of the previous sales for people to post their hauls, which seemed to drag those posts out of the main thread.
As for the other two, that's kind of difficult to enforce. Everyone has their own levels of what games are worth how much money, and game taste highly dictates if someone finds a game good or not. Just short of making it a bannabale offense to ask about a game that has been already talked about within the last few hundred posts, I can't see a way we could eliminate those types of posts.
Also, insert itsalwayssunnyinsteamsalethreads.jpg here.
There's zero chance that a new Dark Souls game would be exclusive.
The best way to tackle them is to answer them once and then point subsequent people toward that answer.
As far as damage reports toward the end and lists of gotten goods, I understand the annoyance in the Steam thread proper, but I'd say such things belong in a sale thread because.... what else is the sale thread there for? To post deals, to ask if deals are good and to show what was bought to your net pals.
I'd rather FS tackle another King's Field. That series has been dormant for over a decade.

Why would you not want to lose the French? Your plan is sound and I'll proudly do what has to be done.
Too many fakes. Must keep calm.

Let's keep it that way.
From finally managed a breakthrough with the Souls series, let them ride that wave.
Awwwwwwwwww yeah.
Nice!

Having just started my FNV playthrough in anticipation of this announcement, i gotta say that Obsidian sure as hell is gonna make Fallout 4 work to get my attention. It's easily the better written and more enjoyable of the 2 3d fallout games, even if it's encumbered with useless crafting mechanics.
What a great "PM received" email to get right before leaving work.
Getting excited now!
So we can assume a GAF crash in about a day?
Haha, was that the largest one you could find?

It feels like I am nearing the end of Chpater IV at Witcher.
Generally speaking it was a fun area. Really enjoyed the change of scenery and new characters. It got a bit tedious traveling from the Lakeside to the Fields though -_-' Some kind of quick-travel would have been nice. Wonder how they solved that in Witcher 3 since it has such a huge world.
Other than that only the general problems of the game were there. Very restricted movement, most side-quest being boring and uninteresting, janky animations & transitions etc. Would be also nice if I could see which is the main-quest in the journal. I liked the big side-quest, the marriage in the village. Had nice twists.
Other than that, I hope the next area will be something new again.
Here some screens.

Writing can be funny at times, haha
What a great trio we make
Devs jumped the shark with sex. I like mature stuff in my games but not when sex is handed out like candy. Devalues its special something heavily.
There's some very nicely detailed textures to be found.
Atmosphere in the fields was really good.
Absolutely dislike how constrained movement is. So many invisible walls. It hurts immersion.
Why knight? You are not human. Should have been some mythical fighter rank. Not human. Makes no sense.

Calling it now, it's just gonna be Fallout: New Vegas Redux.
Shouldn't the QUOTE tags around it, shrink it down?

Wow. I might watch it on Youtube this year. Gotta have a very stable stream there.
Usually watched on Gametrailers/Spike. They had really good produced segments before, in between and after E3. But since Geoff is now on Youtube, it might be the better choice.

An HD remake/remaster of any of the last generation games and heads will fucking roll. I'm talking pitchforks and blood in the streets.
It would make S-E's FFVII stage announcement look like a masterpiece in marketing and being in tune with your audience in comparison.
Fun fact, this iconic image of Vault Boy. He isn't giving us a thumb up and winking at us. He's actually measuring the size of the atomic blast and judging whether or not he is safe from the blast radius.
Now his smile, you can interpret that as him being safe from the blast, or slowly losing his sanity as he know he can't outrun the blast, that death is only moments away.
