wow - was the last part in reference to Sterling mocking the use of the word?

I mean, everyone did.

 

[Wok]

I'm also expecting Overcooked in this monthly. It would be the right time.

Also, TableTop Simulator.

Quantum Break is 50% off on steam



I liked Alan Wake when it came out on 360 but I heard this game is more like a movie than a game.

Is this game worth it?

 

[Rhaknar]

never heard of that Elex game, sci/fi + fantasy is soemthing you dont see a lot tho, thats cool

Heard about it for the first time today which is kind of funny as I have been binging Risen 3 all week. Looks awesome will buy day 1 for sure.

 

[Tizoc]

Great job with the game recommendations this month, a lot that weren't even on my radar, so thanks a lot!

 

[Buraindo]

Best OP ever.

Nothing I'm especially looking forward to this month, except for the summer sale maybe.
Not that I'm playing much else beyond dota 2 and dark souls 3 these days.

 

[Teggy]

Elex preorders are up



somebody not charging 60€ these days? isn't that amazing?

Looks interesting, wonder if it's just a Gothic/Risen with a different setting.

This is one my favorites from last year. If you don't mind linear story based shooters with time mechanics I'd say go for it.

As a huge Alan Wake fan, I am enjoying Quantum Break so far. Now, I've only played the first episode... meaning the game part and the movie part. I think I played about 70-ish minutes of gameplay before watching about 22-ish minutes of movie.

I'm into it.

 

[Wok]

I hope it will improve the performance.

Sweet! I've had that on my steam wishlist since 2015 they've finally updated the steam page with video etc and a price! Not to mention THQ Nordic is publishing it now

Based on Gamejournos preview opinions, it is exactly that, but with shooting

 

[FLD]

This is one my favorites from last year. If you don't mind linear story based shooters with time mechanics I'd say go for it.

Uh, I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Spoiler

But yeah, Quantum Break is a great Max Payne spiritual successor. The live-action stuff isn't amazing but it's easily ignored. I didn't feel like it added much to the narrative, tbh.

 

[Dusk Golem]

It's fun reading through your Steam refund notes.

 

[Annubis]

It's fun reading through your Steam refund notes.

Well, that first one at least knows himself/herself well enough to admit his/her shortcomings.
That's commendable.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Oh. A dev can see why people refund games?

It's useful info for a dev.

 

[Vazra]

Ugh Tekken today. Hype is real.

 

[Plesiades]

And Brendan Fraser is back. What a day.

 

[GoldandBlue]

Is there a reason Tekken isn't unlocking at the usual time most games do on release? I just wanna play this now.

 

[Tizoc]

And Brendan Fraser is back. What a day.

Now taht is a name i hadnt seen in years

 

[Tart Toter 9k]

Do we know when/if Tekken 7 is getting workshop support? And how does Valve handle music from other games in the workshop?
I know the PC version doesn't have the jukebox but i need to replace Akuma's stage theme with Killing Moon.

Did they ever discuss Tekken 7 having workshop support? Cause I don't see them ever doing that for this game.

 

[Tart Toter 9k]

I just checked, they mentioned it in a survey before the game was announced for PC. Guess its not happening because they haven't mentioned it since...

Edit: Found the GAF thread

 

[GoldandBlue]

That's interesting.

Well maybe it's something if they see people are interested in, it could be added in the future.

Well, in this case you two are clearly broken even if on the same time

Quantum Break is a terrible TPS, nowhere close any of the Max Payne titles, and definitely not 3. It looks really nice tho.

Wait, are you implying that Max Payne 3 was the best one? Because that is just crazy talk.

It was. By far. Come at me, bruh.

 

[FLD]

I'd make a joke about posting drunk but this is beyond inebriation. There might be something wrong with your brain!

Max Payne 1 > Max Payne 2 >>>> Quantum Break >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Max Payne 3

 

[Vastag]

Rising Storm 2 is great. Yes, is janky like the previous games, but the firefighting feels great.

 

[MUnited83]

[The Dear Leader]

Rising Storm 2 is great. Yes, is janky like the previous games, but the firefighting feels great.

Yeah I'm enjoying it too, feels like it could have used a couple more months in the oven but overall it's just as fun as the other Tripwire shooters.

EDIT: Gameplay wise, Max Payne 3 is absolutely the best in the series, story wise, it's probably last.

Many people would love to commit me to a mental institution for saying this, but I'd go as far as to say that the writing in Max Payne 3 is leagues ahead of that of the two previous Max Payne games.

 

[Ladekabel]

It is the best one, by far.

Max Payne 3 is fantastic! The first two are amazing, too!

 

[oni-link]

It is the best one, by far.

I've not played the first two games but Max Payne 3 is one of the best third person shooters ever

 

[FLD]

Max Payne 3 is fantastic! The first two are amazing, too!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not being hyperbolic and saying it's shit or anything like that. I liked it a lot, just not as much as the first two. Max Payne 1 is one of my most replayed games ever but I played Max Payne 3 one time at launch and haven't felt the need to revisit it since.

Then maybe you should revisit Max Payne 3!

 

[Kudo]

If you haven't you definitely should, 1-2 are masterpieces.

 

[FLD]

Then maybe you should revisit Max Payne 3!

I have too much of a backlog to revisit a game that failed to make a lasting impression the first time around. I'll probably give it a replay eventually but not anytime soon.

 

[oni-link]

If you haven't you definitely should, 1-2 are masterpieces.

Are they on Steam?

I have wanted to play them for a while

Yep. They usually go on a solid package sale during our blessed Steam Sales.

And yeah, they rule.

 

[Rhaknar]

ok, I admit, those refunds are a slippery slope :/

 

[JakeD]

how do Max Payne 1+2 run on modern machines? i was shocked the other day to realize i didnt own them on steam. i played them back when they were released but will rebuy them this summer sale most likely.
