What kind of game is Silver?

There's no video on the store page, nor in the discussion boards. It says action but what kind of action?

Action RPG with a dash of Zelda and FFVII aesthetics.

It was very cool for its times, played it on PC when it came out, tried to replay it recently but couldn't due to some bad bug that none was able to squash. I'm glad it's on Steam!

I love those enemies, they're always a challenge.

They are more difficult than the bosses in this game, lol.

Finished oxenfree, great game.

I really hope that rumor about Bethesda turning Elder Scrolls and Fallout into one interconnected franchise isn't real.

Whoa, what?

I know they own the Fallout IP and all but... No.

 

[Atraveller]

Did you get the true ending?

 

[Hoffelcopter]

Still no idea



thats weird. I just want my zombies to kill things, thats all.

You can. End game progression will be really slow unless you get incredibly lucky with drops. There's some uniques that you'll want that might not ever drop for you. You can still trade for them. But building up the currency for them without being able to sell stuff will be slow and meticulous.

 

[NingenJanai]

I guess not ... :x

 

[Tonton]

Fuck those guys.

I still can't consistently deal with the Lance ones
I hate how on SotFS you need to grind them to get their weapon early

Silver has been on GOG for months btw.



V for Vendetta taught me otherwise

28 Days Later taught me it's possible

I really hope that rumor about Bethesda turning Elder Scrolls and Fallout into one interconnected franchise isn't real.

The next Elder Scroll is about a guy from Fallout travelling back in time.
You will be forced to play a human and your character will be voiced.

Going by the rumor,

it's actually forward in time.

That sounds like a horrible idea.

I was all set to give some early impressions about how truly impressive this fourth hidden-object game was...then I realized my achievements weren't activating, and when I quit and restart, my profile info wasn't there.

I've been noticing this with other games of mine too, in addition to being super slow, it's not recognizing my profile, but quitting Steam and restarting it did the trick. (I've asked around and only got a couple of people who have the same issue, but nobody knows how to solve it.) In this case, it appears not to be. So I'll have to start it again from scratch.

I'm pretty sure that area made me 'overlevel' a whole lot, since I ended up doing a loooooot of tries until I got past them into the cathedral.
On the plus side, I can kinda sorta deal with them now.
I ended up gettting their weapons too, are they good? Currently using the Fire Longsword from the Forest of Giants.

I like the sword's moveset, just try both and see which you like more, the fire longsword is a great early weapon

People have already made them connected worlds. Bethesda put nirnroot in Fallout 4 as an easter egg and people went nuts trying to connect the worlds.

Tangential: < 69 is 'Weak' on OpenCritic while > 74 is 'Strong' or better.
Fucking hell, I hate video game scoring.

It's actually percentage based:
- Bottom 40%: Weak
- Middle 20%: Fair
- Next 30%: Strong
- Top 10%: Mighty

We're working on a redesign now where we intend to change the breakdown to 30/30/30/10.

Finished Trails in the Sky the 3rd. Man, I'm bummed out it's over. I can't wait for Cold Steel on Steam and I hope Zero wont be too far off.

Vanquish numbers are not as good as Bayonetta. 68,798 ± 7,741 in 10 days.

Bayonetta sold more than 100k copies in one week without pre-orders. Vanquish had 2 weeks pre-order + discount for Bayonetta owners.

Pretty expected since Vanquish never sold as well as Bayonetta on console either , and Bayo has a bit more presence through the sequel, being in smash etc.

Still good numbers though. Will probably do well during the summer sale too.

I wouldn't be worried too much about the lesser numbers. Bayo has a bigger presence and more lead up time (after the initial announcement I mean).

Blunt weapons (maces, clubs) have an inherent advantage for large portions of DS2 because they are strong against armored enemies, which DS2 has a greater proportion of compared to other DS games.

Especially early on, standard swords don't grant as much hit stun/reaction compared to blunt weapons on armored enemies.

One thing to consider about elemental weapons is that the damage values are reduced independently for the standard and elemental damage portions. This generally means that they end up slightly weaker than straight damage unless the enemy is specifically weak to that element (which isn't that common).

Well Vanquish has that issue that once you finish it doesn't really give reasons to go back to it and people may have read the stuff before before buying it. I may give shit to the game but I wish it were doing a bit better than that.

So the bottm 40% of videa game scores starts with 69? ...I hate videogame scoring...
But yeah, 30/30/30/10 sounds fairer.

That's good to know. Guess I'll get myself a mace or something as secondary weapon.

And butts. People love butts.

Lol yeah, I killed off nearly everythnig there. ...Not because I wanted, it just happened naturally while trying to get through...

Got the Okada costume for King in Tekken 7. It changes his Rage Art to the Rainmaker. That's a super cool touch.

It's real fun so far. Haven't played a Tekken since 4. Pretty amazing that most of the combos I remember from the old days still work, at least against AI.

Finally had some time to continue Bayonetta. I love how it's kinda just right amount of hard, ala 'Souls etc. Even the same-y fights don't bother me that much as it's enjoyable to kick everybodys ass because you already had to learn their moves inside out.

Tekken 7 could be right up my alley right now, last one I played was 7 I think.

Yeah Tekken 7 is really fun, I can't point my finger why is that, but for now I see myself investing more time in this than SFV or other fighters

The new way Steam uses to alert you of games on your wishlists being on sale through email isn't all that useful when your wishlist is big. If the link was to a partitioned list of games from your wishlist on sale, it might have an use, but as it stands it feels like it is only useful for people with short wishlists.
I liked the old method of sending me an email with all the items on sale.
