Hands On: Firewatch

Nah, I've played both versions and kb/m is the king. Also didn't have a problem with the hit detection. Gitgud. :O

Controls are squat and inconsistent. And that hit detection..lol. It is actually better to play on the vita honestly.
Well, they are playing Cave Explorer.

Live the dream.
If we don't have jobs, we don't have money. So we won't buy so many games. It's the cure, huzzah!
Not on release but defo at one point unless it stinks hard
HYPED!!!!!!!
I must try that sometime.
The reason I suggested you give flicking a try is because it cuts on the difficulty of the move, the animation for kicking is slow compared to attacks so you find yourself using it in situations where you can afford to set it up properly.
If you do it while moving the game doesn't always recognise the input but if you line yourself and let the stick go neutral flicking guarantees the kick and makes sure you don't walk/attack instead. If under pressure you can cancel with a directional roll since the game differentiates between the input for the kick and the input for the roll.
Yeah, there are SOME retailers with lower prices. IE Unch 4 is "only" 70 on Amazon. Sad fact is, in Italy there are not so many stores like US and UK.
Basically the only serious retailer is Mediaworld, excluding Amazon.
But.
Mediaworld store points are not everywhere (in example, if I want reach one, I need to do one hour of highway, paying for it something like 4.20. This and the fuel you use make it more expensive compared to Gamestop.
Amazon, otherwise, can make you spare 5, but you need to wait almost a week after day one, if you not have Prime.
There are really other options.
For PS3 games, I used to buy them from Amazon Uk when they had free shipping toward Italy when you reach 25 £, but they removed that option.
The problem here is there's no competition among retailers. You have those small stores, if they exist, that work only by ordering a game. So if you go here on D1, you probably won't find what you are looking for, because they don't take additional copies, if you want one, you need to order it, and wait. And the price will be the same or even expensive compared to Gamestop.
I'm sure in Italy there are other stores too, but at least where I live, there are two options:
-Gamestop
-Order online, but 99% sure you won't receive a title on D1.
Last game I bought was Beyond Two Souls (dear lord, good money for that), I received it three days after launch, for the same price of Gamestop, but with an additional crappy fake-artbook attached
Can't you just import from the UK? From what I understand shipping isn't that dear. I can't imagine Italian subs/dubs are to die for either, if the game even got them.

GMG VIP has Sid Meier's Starships for 11.39 . Sounds like a good way to finally do something with my Playfire money.

Speaking of Rogue, someone needs to rank AssFlag, AssUnity, AssRogue, and Watch_Dawgies for me so I can know what to play. Because I've been trying to play Watch Dogs recently and it seems so much more mind numbing and boring compared to the AssCreed games.
Yes but Amazon UK often isn't even the cheapest, there's loads of retailers. A lot of people used to use Zavvi because they did really cheap European delivery(Was even free for some time), and you can usually get good pre-order prices with their codes. Recently thegamecollection has had lots of good deals, their EU shipping is only £2.
Edit: Zavvi is back to doing free EU delivery again, infact.

well it's a tiny little bit cheaper on nuuvem
Less than 1. And some other shop is always cheaper, that's why I still have all my PF dosh.
Moi. Havent touched the first game yet so I cant tell if its my kind of thing.

He won't, he likes artsy fartsy kinda games like gone home, Minecraft, and other lame stuff like that
come at me, bayo.
Fair enough. If you were ever looking for some good prices though, I do recommend the Cheap Arse Gaffer |Europe| thread. Good prices are always posted there.
Did you like the ship gameplay in ACIII? If you did, then you should like Black Flag for sure and Rogue almost certainly (I haven't played it yet, but Dr Dogg's opinion makes me think that it is indeed a good sequel to Black Flag).
I haven't played Unity or Watch Dogs, though. I'll certainly play Unity one day, but I can't say the same for Watch Dogs. It looks boring.
If you wanna be an asshole be an accurate one. I dislike Minecraft and I have Gone Home but I dont remember much of it to even tell what the game was. Look at my library and be maybe a bit more accurate on the shade you want to throw at me you dying franchise lover.

do yourself a favor and don't play watch dogs. It's a mediocre gta-like with a sociopathic main character and a campaign that's extremely repetitive and over 15 hours long.
I just played Chinatown Wars and it was so much better than WD, WD should be embarrassed.

You must have transcended to another level of mind-numbing.

Yep. After I posted last night, I ventured further down to the Shrine of Amana. Was actually surprised because I was expecting some dunegon-like area of the Drangleic Castle. Still it was a cool level. Kinda reminded me of the Ash Lake from DS1.
I can totally see how that area could cause trouble though. The mages have some ridiculously long attack/aggro range. Gladly I had a good shield ad weapon.
On that I have to talk about classes. In DS1 I played as a Pyro with a lightning katana for the bulk of the game. I feel as if pyromancy was practically easy-mode in DS1. It was pretty OP.
I think FromSoftware also thinks that way since they took out the class completely and I feel as if it is much harder to be focusing on pyro in DS2 early on at least.
Since I went with pyro in DS1 I wanted to change things up in DS1 and choose to use heavy weapons and - almost - no magic/hex/pyro at all. I thought things would get tougher this way but holy smokes was I wrong! These are the weapons I used chronologically:
- Rapier +5
- Bastard Sword +5
- Royal Greatsword +10
- and currently Greatsword +7 (still need to find chunks; weirdly enough I have several slabs :/)
The frog-boss at the end was pretty dope too. I was summoned and helped others a couple times while I was there
Anyway, I am at about 56 hours and already SoulLevel 112! The progression speed has been upped significantly imo compared to DS1 which I am liking very much. Now that I have enough STR to wield almost every heavy weapon, I am dumping souls into INT/FTH and buy spells/hexes. I haven't used them at all till now but I am liking how there are so many different spells.
Wish there was a rare item which permanently levels your INT/FTH without having to need spend tons of souls. Just like Fireseeds leveling up the flame it would be nice for the septics to permanently give you points in INT/FTH stats.
I still haven't used an Ascetic at all! But I am planning on doing that with the Lost Sinner because I forgot that I could summon Lucatiel :/
But I really like that with Asctetics/Bonfire Intensity I get different enemies and loot. Pretty awesome game design.
New mods? Interesting. Still, I think reading hundreds of stupid posts every day doesn't sound fun :/See.
What is the allure in that for you Jase?
But you are always here, so you would fit in that regard at least.
Why the heck would I get a game Day 1?
It is gonna become much cheaper after a short wait. There are enough games to play until that.
Buying Day 1 does not make any sense to me. Even if I was filthy-rich, I would never buy Day 1. Have some patience people.
There are tons of special moves which are very useful.
Jump Attack: Left Stick Forward + Heavy Attack
Guard Break: Blocking (either shield or weapon) + Left Stick Forward + Light Attack
Kick: Left Stick Forward + Light Attack
Just know that many times trying will result in bad endings due to timing
When we...?
I am ahead of you guys.
I am waaaaay ahead of you.
True Crime Streets of L.A. shits on WatchdDawgs tbh. (Not NY as that one was a mess)

Sleeping dawgs is the only gta-like with dawgs in the title that anyone should play. game was such a pleasure to play. Pork buns made me into a man.
Also, since someone asked about AssFlag: AssFlag might have the worst campaign of all AC games. I say might because I haven't played liberation, rogue, or unity so there's a chance that those are worse but i think that would be almost impossible. It's just a bunch of tailing and stealth missions, none are fun and i gave 1 star to almost every campaign mission.

I think it's the free running/climbing and the just the totally random indiscriminate murder you can get up to in AssCreed that makes them at least a bit more entertaining. Watch_Dogs is just another modern day open world game where driving around isn't all that interesting and I don't get the same kind of entertainment of just shooting pedestrians with guns or trying to run them over or whatever.

You think collecting Steam games get's hectic try collecting books when you have to walk past a market with 2 book shops akin to Black Books every morning, lunchtime and evening.
Speaking of collectable things and obsessive compulsion, Gameseek have got 30+ copies of Football Manager 2010 in stock, which was becoming hard to find for a reasonable price. Yours for the princely sum of £1.37. Seeing as my box is lost to my previous workplace before I knew they were Steam redeemable keys I've ordered one as a test.

I wonder where AC Chronicles China will fit into the schedule? Still tomorrow is Rogue day for me!

Did NY goes supernatural in the end like LA?
And what was Sleepy Dawgs before being named Sleepy Dawgs?
lol. Xbox One vs PS4 got boring, eh?

STR scaling in DS2 is fantastic. I went full STR on mine and ended using the Pursuers Ultragreatsword for most of the game. rekt everything.

LA had connection to NY? I never finished NY.
And I see why True Crime was slapped to the game since it had similar style in terms of gameplay. The melee combat in LA had interesting melee combat at the time and some cool stuff to do which you can see SD taking it to a whole different level. Overall I feel people shat on TC as being a GTA Clone when it was different enough despite being a sandbox game.
