Windows 10 does that stupid automatic download of any drivers it detects missing. You gotta shut that off in the computer's settings. I was very annoyed when that happened to me right after upgrading.

It kinda feels like the older Hitman games if you turn off all the helper stuff.
I've finally played a bit of The Gates of Firmament, the Chinese RPG on steam. I would say I wouldn't recommend it right now. The English localization is terrible making understanding what is going on a chore at times. Press Q to spell that.

Yes but it causes unforeseen issues with the game, and voices are only featured during battle anyways, it shouldn't really be a big deal, playing bug free with EN voices or playing with some bugs with JP voices.
a sign it will be in the humble monthly???

It's really interesting, right? Always read about PC-console comparisons and their fanbases having all kinds of arguments. "Consoles are better value, they get the best optimized, no PC's at similar prices will destroy consoles" etc. It's great to see something more tangible with actual results.
Hm, I went mobile and just checked. No PM.

Wow no one took Valkyria? As someone who's sunk like 90 hours into that game, that's sad.

Probably still being processed. A lot of entries for all those games.
Yess. TitS is mine! Will definitely play it right away, backlogs be damned
Story-wise, is it perfectly fine to jump straight into Batman: Arkham Origins without having played Batman: Arkham City? Will I be missing out on anything important? I've heard that Arkham Origins is the superior entry in the series and that Arkham City is a somewhat bloated game that over-stays its welcome.
Thanks! Does it matter if I download the admin_setup.exe or the setup.exe?
I'm pretty sure most people, on here at least, sees Arkham City as the best in the series, while Origins is the worst. I can't say myself, as I have only played a few hours of Asylum.

They're both fine ganes, but I do prefer Origins as well. You're fine playing it before City. Anything you might miss will pop up there.

It's a prequel, so go for it.
In spite of what Batman: Arkham Knight would have anyone believe, the Batman Arkham franchise made for a terrible trilogy--probably one of the worst in all of gaming (especially since it is a trilogy of 4 games...).

I'm surprised you've heard people saying Origins is the better of the two. Most people I've heard seem to see Origins as the worst, I personally like it although City is my favourite (partially because of the Batman Beyond skin).
Story-wise you're fine playing Origins first though.

Since you always have a new game every few days I wondered what your finished list for this year looks like so far.
The translation did get a bit better after those really awful dialogue scenes from what I've played(about 4 or 5 hours in), though the translation is still far from good. It has grammar problems, and issues where they've directly translated a word and didn't really get the context.
Also for reference to anyone who is interested. You can get higher than 1080p in it, despite the game not showing higher resolutions. You need to go into windowed mode and then alt enter. It then seems to go to the resolution your monitor is set to.
Got a press copy of Day of the Tentacle and am curious how the console crowd will react to the control scheme. It's probably the most traditional point and click game to get a port. Grim Fandango at least had direct character movement and relatively few interactions with objects. Most other ones are more in the Telltale mold. Can easily see some people struggling with wrangling the controls.
I pretty quickly went back to mouse after trying controller out.

Hmm, I don't think BorderlessGaming works properly with Hitman. It's on my Favorites list and all that, but I have to alt+tab (both in border and fullscreen) and then the monitors blink for a moment to refresh, so that I can control my other software.
Anyone else having issues with borderless in Hitman?

Story wise I easily consider Arkham Origins to be stronger than Arkahm City. It's contained, it builds up a lot for that universe, and beyond the DLC extra, nothing of the story felt tacked on (for a comic book style tale) just to pad it out longer than it needed to be. To play first, as the prequel to Arkham Asylum, it works as well to start with even if you "lose abilities" if you are then playing the other games.
Game wise, and glitches aside, I honestly didn't feel Origins was any worse than City, as they both felt the same to me as I played them back to back just recently. Some minor things here and there, more indoor segments on one vs better boss fights in the former, but overall just very similar. Origins could feel worse by the fact any annoyances I had with City just continued on here, but that would happen if I had gone Origins to City as well.
Though I will give City the edge just because I actually felt like difficulty was more fine tuned here, where was Origins it never felt like it increased other than taking more damage (negated by "spam counter button").
Origins: Blackgate is the worst Arkham game though. Even the mobile phone games hold up better. I regret playing it so much.

I played the most number of games the last months since forever.Since you always have a new game every few days I wondered what your finished list for this year looks like so far.
Tomb Raider 2013, ARMA 3, The Swapper, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Elliot Quest, Gone Home, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, Mafia 2, Lifeless Planet, Deadlight. It's a lot but gladly I had fun with most of them.
Currently on Dead Rising 3 with 20hrs and Red Faction Guerilla with 6hrs.

So, uhm..
What happened to Hitman?

It's pretty generic. I sometimes feel I'm mashing keyboards key to do the combos. AI partners seems to burn through my items and I haven't found how to prevent them from doing so.
In other news I tried playing the new beta branch for the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition and the multiplayer is still an unstable POS. Beamdog is a terrible developer. Previous versions would CTD in multiplayer when you would reach a chapter screen but now the game simply CTD on the character arbitration screen before starting the game. If you are lucky to get pass this then it will crash when you save or load a new area. Really tamper my expectation for the Siege of Dragonspear or whatever.
The GOG version still works well in multiplayer...

Well, I guess it's technically not May yet, so Hitman can have its brief time
Dark Souls comes out in April though.
Perfect

Thank you for your time everyone. I must have remembered incorrectly then. I'll go for Arkham Origins first since it is a prequel as LurkerPrime stated.

Finished year walk in a sitting. Well, that was something!
If you're going to use a steam controller then you'll want to know a couple of things: this was a touch screen game so expect to drag objects around. And, there's a puzzle that requires keyboard inputs so if you think you're stuck then remember that.
Now, to see about this journal

Whoa, year walk ended up being a genuinely creepy experience. Really recommend accessing the journal after your playthrough.
Edit: and now I'm reading through various interpretations of the ending and this thing is kinda neat. What an experience

No one will play it even when it's bundled for a dollar. Oh well.
Also- Batman Origins is da best. Anyone who says otherwise can safely be ignored on all things.
