I would love for From Software to get away from the Souls franchise if it meant they'd develop more games.

Their output went from 3-4 games a year to 1-2 every couple years, which is pretty disappointing.

Then again, I really like their Souls games...hmm conflicted.

Miyazaki did a interview with gamespot not too long ago and the way he worded basically sounds like they are done with the Medieval Dark Fantasy setting. The Souls formula will however live on in their next game which could be Sci-Fi or something else. He wouldn't say.

My guess is they make Bloodborne 2 or a new Sci-Fi ip. They have 2 teams so they can do both at the same time. I think a proper Western with some fantasy would work as well with Souls formula.
 
Riot just bought Radiant (Rising Thunder, Stonehearth) for an unnamed project. Valve needs to buy someone and make that Dota fighting game before League of Fighters comes out.

A fighting game with a MOBA roster is a such a no-brainer, really wonder how it's not a thing yet. Also, interesting you mention Valve acquire/hire anyone. They haven't done that since the last decade.

Big fan of dota. Would still prefer if they came out with HL3. Hell, I'd even be willing to see dota 2 die if it means we get HL3 :(

So Valve just need to go get Lab Zero Games to keep up

We will probably find out that Riot just wanted Radiant for some random tech and nothing to do with fighting games at all
 
On a scale of Telltale game <-> Grim Fandango what level of puzzle fuckery is involved with The Longest Journey?

I've always wanted to play the Dreamfall games and the new bundle convinced me to finally take the series on.
 
This will be ever so slightly OT, I think, but I'm not sure where else to ask...

...but does anyone know what they call those floating head reaction images? Like, just the reaction head? Michael Jordan's crying face, Stephen A. Smith smug face, etc.

Coli smileys I think?

Because they're from that forum, The Coli.

There is one (in)famous puzzle early in the game involving a rubber ducky, but the rest of the puzzles are quite easy for me IMHO.
 
I bought Oceanhorn during the last sale and I can't get into it.

Now it's in a bundle for a dollar, after I paid $7+ for it. That just twists the knife something hardcore.

I had to use a guide a couple times to get through the Longest Journey, so definitely Grim Fandango.

By the way, a free tip while we're talking TLJ: if you see black screen instead of ingame cinematics and you have NVidia GPU, try disabling DSR (unticking all 'extra' resolutions) in NVidia control panel. Broke my head a while ago trying to figure out why damn videos won't play...

Gears is like $13 USD on the russian store.

I just went through the steps to get it for $13. Man. I should have recorded it because it was hilarious.

Also Amex fraud detection is ON POINT! The second I pushed accept or whatever the Russian word for accept is, I got a call right that second.

Closer to GF, the rubber ducky puzzle near the start of the game is infamous.

Regardless, it's a great game to playthrough, even if you do keep your nose in a guide; it's my favourite of the series :)
 
The second game? The puzzles were pretty non-existent. It's a painfully poor third person adventure game nowadays. Dreamfall Chapters is somewhere inbetween the previous two.

Well im not going to just skip the middle game so i'll breeze through it as quickly as possible if that is the case

Noted!
 
Does anyone know if The Division has anything that stops it being refunded? Really want to try it out. JaseC has told me in the past that it tells you if you're buying anything that can't be refunded but I'd just like to double check, as I would pick it elsewhere to play with friends if I enjoy it :)

grim fandango esque for sure, but without the humor or wit. just boring, convoluted and annoying puzzles with no payoff. at least grim usually gave u a gag for ur troubles

then the game's very story heavy in between puzzles with a lot of dialogue options and character interactions which can be really good if the setting and characters are appealing to you

personally i didn't care for either but that's a preference thing i guess
