Here are some screenshots from Half-Life 2: Update.

I'm sure glad I backread otherwise I would have missed out on some pixelated buttcrack

Prison Architect Alpha 31

The first two minutes of this are hilarious. And then they start talking about gameplay mechanics, like what the newly added Lawyer brings to the game. What does he add? Smaller prison cells and death row.

I vaguely remember buying this via a Humble Bundle. I should maybe play it one day.

how is the combat for pillars of eternity? is it just pause and attack?

That's a good way of not getting far in the game

Real time with pause. You can also set up rules for the game to automatically pause if certain events occur in combat.

 

[Last Baron]

Now that I can see PoE achievements properly, 100% seems like a daunting prospect, especially since I have like, every other Infinity Engine game to play as well before I die

 

[Atraveller]

Eh, with so few skills in the first few hours, it might as well just be that.

Not Steam related but picked up Destiny on PS4 today for cheap after some gift cards. Really liked what I played so far and the premise but I can see why people were disappointed after the hype.

Also not Steam related, but Theatrhythm Dragon Quest is super legit. It's like they took Curtain Call which was already great and made it even better. A really nice experience for Dragon Quest and rhythm fans alike.

thats kinda cool

 

[Last Baron]

Damn, I just about meet the minimum requirements for Witcha 3. Still gonna pre-order though. It'll be my thinspiration for selling all my wordly possessions to fund a new rig.

yeah, it is good ol' Fuzzi

too late for that ... it's something only high-tiered backers could do before the game was released

 

[Chance Hale]

Opened the strat guide up and it seems a bit disappointing. No details at all for the achievements other than a simple description and the walkthrough for the missions don't really have fight details and are written only for normal mode it seems as the mission I looked back on mentioned four people where there were 7 for me. No Path of the damned details....at all. The area maps are pretty though.

Edit: Oops, this isn't the PoE thread.

 

[zkylon]

recettear is pretty intense

i always make like 80% of the money in the last two days lol

immersion gets thrown out the window but that's pretty funny

 

[Uzzy]

Finally, I get to start up Pillars of Eternity after my holiday. It's like a dream come true.

It can be!

I'm actually pretty honored. o.0 what game is this?

I think you can guess that.

 

[The Dear Leader]

This must be what it feels like for people that didn't or don't own Life is Strange.

All this Pillars of Eternity talk is making me mad jelly.

Nuuvem has it for ~$21.50. You know you want to.

 

[KenOD]

I'm currently on medication and have a rather awful time trying to think straight and find information on my own, so if anyone can make it easy on me.

Region restrictions for Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain?

Oh nice, that's a great price. I might have to bite!

 

[KenOD]

Oh good, so it's not just my addled mind keeping me from getting clear information. Thank you.

There hasn't been any movement on that front since the subs appeared in the registry a year ago. Maybe they'll remain as-is and Konami won't give the middle finger to Asia this time around, but probably not.

 

[JaseC]

Rumors are (well, not rumors, since it's stated on the official MGSV page from Konami, lol) the game will be 70€ on PC, all of use hope something like 20€ less as base price.

20 would make sense if it released a year later, but at present there's no reason to believe it won't be releasing alongside the console versions or thereabouts, in which case full price is entirely reasonable, taking into considering the fact that the $10 "console tax" is almost universally applied to PC releases these days.

Edit: To be clear, I'm not saying €70 is reasonable. It's not.

... because of reasons

 

[JaseC]

... because of reasons

Because of complacency, but it should be expected that most aren't going to take offence to a price hike of $10 on something they're anticipating. "This is bullshit! But I'm still going to be there day one."

except when 70€ is almost 1/6th of the national average monthly wage

not that they care about it all that much, though ... like Rockstar selling GTA V for $78 in most of Eastern Europe (sans Russia, of course) on GMG etc.

 

[JaseC]

€70 isn't going to translate to a near-identical price everywhere. Not even Konami is that stupid.

 

[Chance Hale]

Really enjoying Pillars of Eternity but the way I created my monk has made it so that I'm locked out of 90% of the special dialogue options which is upsetting to me as I've always loaded Charisma/int up in similar games. I can be a thug with all my might though!

 

[lashman]

well I'm pretty sure it'll be 70€ in EU2 .... and 70€ just happens to be 1/6th of the national average monthly wage here

 

[JaseC]

Ah, it does seem as though Konami is fond of universal Euro pricing. Save them, Kojima! Oh, wait.

to be fair, though - there are only like 4 or 5 games that actually have different pricing for EU2 ... The Talos Principle comes to mind ....

and then there's Rad Bats which is 0.99€ in EU1 ... and 4.99€ in EU2

GTA V got 5 euros off in EU2 XD

damn that zelda thread took an unexpected turn

Bargain.

 

[lashman]

Bargain.

I know, right?

Well, I'd say there was no turn considering almost nobody has noticed the post, haha.

well someone did

 

[Shark Attack]

Well one of those threads was sort of interesting...

 

[dex3108]

It Is sad to see console gamers this generation. They are waiting for months for good games and then they got delayed. And PC is getting something good and interesting almost every month. March was amazing for PC, Cities, Hotline, Ori, PoE.

I really want to buy PS4 but i have hard time justifying that purchase right now.

I don't know what my next PS4 purchase will be. I would have guessed Uncharted but I doubt that'll hold true now that it's been delayed.

 

[Tizoc]

So apparently Darksiders 1's cutscenes don't play on my laptop, because of the video codecs installed, I gotta manually edit a file so that a certain codec does not run so that the game's cutscenes load fine. Weird...

There are some indie games but there is big chance you can play it on PC too, and there is Bloodborne. But i won't dump 450 euros to play one game and then out PS4 in the box so i can save it from dust For now this generation was really bad for console owners and PC platform is getting better and batter.

I have Bloodborne. I'll probably start playing it tomorrow (the patch is downloading at the moment and it won't be done by the time I leave).

I just realized there aren't enough Molyneux games on Steam.
