how do you do the life is strange photo-focusing analogue stick rotation with the steam controller, which doesn't have a right stick?

well it's left and right clicks and wads' "a" and "d" on PC IIRC so whatever you have binded to those maybe.

Steam cards sold in US can be redeemed in EU accounts? Someone wanna help me buy one card?

I'm not sure, can they? Does it automatically convert the currency?

Also, Parsnip, I think I'm gonna try to beat your score on my next Jill speedrun. I think this was my good ending run, so it tacked too much time on for nothing.

It does. Some codes sold in South-east Asia are region-locked, but I think this was unintentional as it's the only region with region-locked codes and not all of them are restricted.

Tekken 7 will release on PC before Street Fighter V is a fully fledged game.

I don't think SFV will get many more sales after this hit unless they discount the game and season pass for 75%. I"m a huge fighting game fanatic and focus more on competitive play, but the product that Capcom put out was just gutter trash.

Better than PayPal's, at least.

I didn't even know about Project Phoenix until your post just now. Looked it up and checked out the character page. It reads like a parody of bad JRPG tropes. I mean, "Ruffles, the amnesiac angel", played totally straight? Just... wow.

My wallet auto converted when I switched to Taiwan so this makes sense.

Well, I completed Dreamfall Chapters. I literally waited for this game to be released for years, but I'm VERY disappointed. Yeah, there are a couple of good visuals, some good ideas, but that's it, nothing else.
The game was very boring to play, pacing is awful, chapter 5 is also basically a serie of cutscenes and you interact a three or four time. But the problem is the plot for me was very weak.
First, there are too many plot holes. Literally. And since of course writers of the game know this, in the end the ended up telling "We'll explain you everything, we promise it", but the game ends and you get no explanations.
For example,

Spoiler

Saga. Who is she? Is she April reborn?Her parents, what happened to them? Why she is so important? Saga ended being literally a deus ex machina, otherwise the game won't be concluded. And all the facts end with a "because it's all written, deal with it". So poor, really. Saga's sections were awful to play, just a collection of "find the item in the house", nothing else. Also, does the game ends with a loop? It seems so, considering April in the end, for some reason, is alive. It's her echo? Is she real? We don't know, but the game basically loops to reconnect with Longest Journey. Characters die, but a second later they are still alive. It's all so confusing.

I loved The Longest Journey, it's actually one of my favourite point and click, I remember I passed months on it.
I liked Dreamfall too, even if not like its prequel, but it was good, interesting, somewhat innovative, since it was pretty different from other point and clicks of that time.
Dreamfall Chapters is just boring, with a couple of good ideas lost in a sea of nothing, with the gameplay very poor when it tries to be a "game" (find all manholes in the city and stuff like that, as I wrote in the spoiler), and a terrible pacing when it tries to tell a story. Also another disappointing thing is there's one and only one ending, no matter what choices you did in book 1-4, you end up with the same ending anyway.
I surely regretted my pre-order purchase, even considering the game was discounted up to 66% off much later, bundled and even given for free. For sure it's worth if you loved April, Zoe and the first two titles, just to see "how it ends", but if you never played the other chapters, please don't start from Chapters, because you will hate the franchise.

Couldn't agree more. I love TLJ and Dreamfall (and that ain't nostalgia talking I only played these for the first a few years ago) but it felt like everything went wrong here.

The gameplay is insipid, the puzzles tedious, the storytelling poorly paced, and the business model actively working against it (good luck trying to follow a plot that relies on decade old games with episodes released near 6 months apart towards the end)

I'd usually try to sit and understand what happened and the implications but given the more ambiguous crap at the end regarding certain characters I've just no inclination.
They didn't bother, why should I

Soon we'll get a real Resident Evil game.

My god. When this is more anticipated than RE7. At leat one is trying to be horror.

Wonder if Bethesda has delayed the announcement of a new Elder Scrolls because of Witcher 3? Seeing as Fallout 4 was pretty much the same old and that Witcher 3 pushed up the bar so damn high that the next Elder Scrolls really couldn't get away with also doing the same old.

Ugh, what?? The end of case 2 for the new Sherlock Holmes game makes no sense >_<

Todd Howard strongly implied in his interview with Geoff Keighley that VI hasn't moved beyond the pre-production phase and stated outright that BGS is instead currently focused on a couple of other AAA projects that will likely release before another Elder Scrolls entry. It's far too early for an announcement now, let alone last year.

Not sure about that, really. At this point the Elder Scrolls games are really their own thing, with their own built-in audience. I don't get the feeling that they're really competing with anyone else directly in that space.

it's not crazytalk to say that i like disgaea's characters and charm than its gameplay, right?

i don't think it lacks depth but there's a tedium aspect to it that i don't enjoy at all, like a mission can throw at you 8 copies of the same enemy all group together and there's just nothing really interesting about battling them? it feels like a grind to go through these missions that sometimes might not even have any story bits (also weirdly enough sometimes they're not voiced? idk if that's a bug or whatever, it feels really strange...)

the actual grind itself i haven't done much of, mostly getting my new recruits through their first few levels and a couple times i wanted to see how the item world worked. the item world stuff was actually pretty compelling and i would actually enjoy it a bunch if there was some sort of quick mode to go through it faster, specially those first few levels that are really really easy

my biggest issue with the leveling is one that seems to always pop up on srpgs for whatever reason that is the experience gain system. since you only gain experience when u kill stuff, that makes healers and characters with support abilities a lot harder to level up and forces you to do some weird stuff to leave ppl hanging with like 3 hp for your healer to wack em in the head. i ended up equipping her with a bow but she deals like no damage with it so i'll probably go back to the wand and idk, not level her? same with my mages, i like to use them to whittle down enemies first but if i keep doing that they never really level, so i need to leave a few for them to finish off

it's a really bad system that i'm surprised is so popular, why srpg designers can't just do something like give a set amount at the end of a mission, with bonuses for dmg dealt/healed, attacks that connected, etc. idk, something.

it's a lovely game if it isn't for these medium-ish issues, i love the characters and the sense of humor and how it's actually tied to the mechanics, but yeah..

Soon we'll get a real Resident Evil game.

wish u had posted which game that is

is it like a new lost planet?

Destiny: Fall of the Masterchef

I'm not really into competitive shooters, but I know I'll end up buying this at some point. Although it's kinda sad that this is the only game fans of modern RE titles can look forward to.

I will take it too when it will be 5&#8364;, but yeah, it's sad RE fans only get non-RE games those days.
I hope REmake 2 will be a real remake followind REmake, not some first person gibberish because Capcom wants to reuse the engine they are using for RE7.

Also another cheap bundle:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/461640/

Got 5 games for 0.72&#8364;, since they are jrpgs they will probably pay the bundle fully with some extra cents.
