I liked it and I didn't. It's one of those games that, when it clicks, you're just plowing through missions and having a blast. Otherwise it's more nuisance, and the game gets repetitive quickly.

Found a new indie RPG, Memory of Eldurim.
Currently in early access, looks great and ambitious. I just love Cryengine.
Hope they can polish the game for official release.

~$11-$12 at Nuuvem is the cheapest I believe for the special edition

They had it ported to OGL and fixed up nicely. I'm sure there are still bugs depending on setup and karma, but it's nothing like launch.

A big part of it is the music. The game would be only okay without it, but it becomes a really unique experience in combination. The visuals, the gameplay, the theme and the audio - everything just fits together extremely well.

Skyrim developed by less than five people? What could go wrong...
It can hardly crash and burn fast enough.
It was slightly better after the OGL port, but that ate my progress and gave me another weird bug somewhere near the start, so I gave up on it then.

Haha, pretty much what I have in mind. They're actually shouting "Skyrim meets Dark Souls", what a huge benchmark to accomplish.
Haven't tried the game yet, just watched a couple of recent videos. Graphics looks hot (it's Cryengine) and I got Risen/Gothic feeling from the UI alone. Animation still need some work though. Early access reviews are positive, so there's still hope I guess.

I just can't shake this odd feeling with Lords of Shadow 2. The modern day stuff just doesn't mesh as well as they seem to think. Feels like i'm playing another game with a mod for Belmont.
that is cheap
i really had the worst luck ever by having my video card burn just a month after i replaced my psu
i the the impression that the 550w psu i bought last month won't be able to handle the 280x i'm looking at and it feels like a big waste to replace a videocard and not upgrade (i dunno how much of an upgrade a 270x be over my old 560gtx ti)
such a shitty couple a months for my poor computer

I appreciate their lofty goal, but aiming so high right at the start is just begging for a decade-long dev cycle that's bankrupted seven years too early. I feel like half the games on Steam Early Access have this sort of aim; trying to be either Skyrim 10 or Minecraft Sequel 9,000 with neither the experience nor budget to believably pull it off.
For some reason I find myself thinking of DRAGON THE GAME as well.
That sounds... too good to be true. It's like $50 and sold out everywhere physically.
Trust before transaction.

will all of these play ok? are they good? any suggestions?

i think lyne is kind of good if a bit tedious, a bird story is pretty forgetable compared to to the moon and i didn't care much for jazzpunk but that's like a primarily humor-based game so ymmv
haven't played any of the rest but sunless sea looks very interesting

Might as well pair up Civ V with Crusader Kings II. That could eat up all free time in and of itself.
Get a 970 if you can afford it. The 500 megs are, contrary to the shitstorm, not at all a big deal and the speeds are still fast enough for most use-cases. And it's really low power, too. Hell, I'd even say go for a 960 if power and cost is a worry. The new architecture has amazing efficiency.
Kurt Russell

A 970 costs a lot here, it's way out of their budget (a 280x can be had for 3500 pesos, a 970 costs almost double)
960 isn't as attractive as a 280x, and weirdly enough, it costs more here.

I played Crusader Kings II for a bit. It's complex. You'd probably spend the whole flight trying to get over the learning curve.
I played Leviathan the Last Day of the Decade. It's a good story told with numerous spelling and grammatical errors (although apparently they released a patch with some community proofreading? I didn't test that yet.) It has more point and click elements than most visual novels - you can collect inventory items, some of which are optional, and they carry over from one chapter to the next. It might serve as an adequate diversion. Some of the graphics are downright uncalley valley horrifying, though.
I played Puzzle Agent 2. It's...not Puzzle Agent 1. The puzzles are alright, but the story is a lot weirder than the original and not as fun. It's not bad, but if you played the first one you'll constantly compare it and find it wanting.
toddhunter

Reus isn't good... Really... But it is the type of game you could get six or so fun hours out of before you realise it.
Puzzle agent 2 is a good throw away experience for a few hours. It is just all too strange to really recommend unless you are in the mood.
Hexcells or battle worlds kronos are other experiences which might fit. I love battle worlds for some very old school tbs. it runs on ipad so I assume the specs are lowish.
Damn, that sucks. And atleast the awful prices here are consistent in how EVERYTHING is super expensive.
Everytime I see someone selling a 970 for $300~ I want to break down and cry. The very cheapest 970 here is about $500. It's madness
Aaaaaand I hope zky finds a decent GPU then. The 200 series from AMD is an absolute bitch when it comes to powerdraw :/
And I'm pretty sure it will still be better than Skyrim either way
Meh. I think it'll have a hard time beating the highs of Skyrim, but overall Skyrim had too many lows for the highs to be of significance, so... I too, sadly, am confident it'll have an easy time being better.

I'd bet that 550w will be enough anyway. The rest of the system isn't OCed or anything.
I'm happy I still have Cold, Cold, Heart to play before AK's release.
Cold Cold Heart was a bit of a disappointment to be honest. They didn't do anything interesting with the setting I think. And the heat gloves (that come with the heat suit) are basically palette swap shock gloves.
For Arkham Knight I hope they can make the boss fights interesting.
Mr. Freeze fight in Arkham City on hardest difficulty is still the pinnacle of the series in that sense, nothing comes even close.
Yeah, they really have no place in that game. Thankfully they are short and there's only a handful of them.
He probably got hired onto the FFXV team and put more wtf stealth segments in that. =p
Minesweeper mustard race, my brother.
(Just kidding, I'm awful at Minesweeper. Hexcells is 2gd though. I'm still enjoying the random ones in Infinite)
If it's not an aftermarket cooler with a heavier powerdraw or some atrocious, outdated, power-hungry CPU, then it shouldn't be a problem I imagine.
Although a 290 easily could be. Some of those thangs are ridiculous
Get savin' <3
Just kidding. I think..? I mean, I've no idea what you live off of, but if it was me... I'd probably...
Well, I'd just not buy any GPU at all since it would take me 3 months' pay to buy a 970, and that's without the whole 'Needing to eat food' thing.

Danny is always around the Gamespot office in California, I see him usually every week on Unprofessional Fridays. I doubt that is UK time.

The thread wasn't about Danny, it was about a different reviewer from the UK. He edited the post once someone posted that tweet.
