dead state thing of killing if you if you're out of the shelter past midnight combined with only one save is kind of awful
i just lost all my progress for going to explore a store and then turning it into midnight on the way back. since time only moves forward while traveling i effectively was dead from the moment i exited the shelter, so basically all that exploring was just me wasting time
i hope that doesn't make it into the final game
i dismissed divinity original sin on accounts of its potentially sassy sexy female character which seemed to point towards annoying me to no end but that might've not been fair

I just wrote a recommendation blurb for Divinity: Original Sin for the June thread. The media is already criminally overlooking this game, we don't need to join them in that

That's just silly, since it's up to you to decide how sassy (or not) the female main character is. Or if there even is onei dismissed divinity original sin on accounts of its potentially sassy sexy female character which seemed to point towards annoying me to no end but that might've not been fair

Dark and violent: 'SXPD' is a comic book you can play
Trailer
SXPD is a violent, post-apocalyptic comic book that includes many of the conveniences digital readers have become accustomed to. Not only does the art really pop on an iPad's Retina display, but you can smoothly swipe from one scene to the next, while music and sound effects accompany the static on-screen action. But at certain points, the tale about a futuristic, all-female police force shifts from being something you read to something you play. SXPD is an almost seamless blend of comic book and video game, and thanks to director David Perry best known as creator of the Earthworm Jim series it's an excellent one.

Damned Mary Update is now Live.
Teaser Trailer for Mary Monster.
The update has caused the game to enter from Alpha into Beta. Here are the update notes:
Very excited, and a bit surprised it is so soon after the 3rd episode of the walking dead. This gives me the impression that there will be a bit of an extended wait for the final episode, and following the 4th of the walking dead, probably the same extended wait for that too. I expect they will tease the final episode a fair bit more and try to boost sales of a "complete edition" of the series.
I don't blame them, but I know when the time comes I'll just be annoyed since I want to play the conclusion haha
That's just silly, since it's up to you to decide how sassy (or not) the female main character is. Or if there even is one
I bought the original divinity and I think I got the directors cut of the second. What I don't understand is why that directors cut is rated much more poorly than the normal edition (assuming I was looking at the right game). Is there any reasoning to this, and should I be looking into getting a different edition?
If you say "the second" you mean Divinity II right? (Because there's also Beyond Divinity, which is technically the second one)
If so, the Director's Cut is the best version of the game, no need to worry.
Yep, a real shame too. Have you gone through the original? It's interesting to compare the two games in that regard but as a whole, the original was pretty amazing for what it accomplished to this day. I remember about 2 years ago, I replayed the first for the 20th time or so and found yet another story arc. Always blows my mind how that game did that sort of thing so well but didn't make it absurdly obvious

Yep, I hope we'll see the whole series one day but I doubt it. This is the last CC with the original engine until they move to a new one, which has been promised for ages. Close Combat is one of the best tactical wargames series ever released and the mods were awesome. The upcoming Ultimate General civil war game reminds me of Close Combat.
I'm expecting a typical Slitherine high price tag around $40. I'll wait for a sale or see what the regional prices are.

huh, I was just reading a book that mentions CC, weird coincidence. What makes this different from other wargames?

To the lucky bastards that could afford Watchdogs, I want feedback ASAP ! I'm this close to pulling the trigger, the dark lure of bar filling...
But I also know that if my will isn't strong enough I've got a guaranteed phone call from the pretty hot lady from the bank. Who unfortunately is working under the direction of a man not hot at all and who wouldn't understand the intricacies of the finer arts (of bar filling).
I think I can hear my 560ti sighing with relief. Bitch. I will free myself from your clutches. One day.

Ex-Skyrim dev's The Stomping Land looks like a prehistoric DayZ with dinosaurs
A three-person team lead by ex-Skyrim animator Alex Fundora is working on a multiplayer survival game about hunting dinosaurs entitled The Stomping Land. Midway through its Kickstarter campaign, The Stomping Land has already nearly tripled its modest $20K goal. How did three guys with placeholder graphics obtain so much funding? The answer: ideas.
The Stomping Land is ambitious. The dinosaur hunting concept may recall Monster Hunter, but this is a harsher, more competitive multiplayer world along the lines of DayZ. You see, food is difficult to obtain. Hunting smaller dinos isn't that difficult, but with gargantuan predators roaming the countryside, they're sure to smell fresh blood and come a-runnin'. To ward them off you'll have to either set traps, create distractions, or slaughter enough herbivores that you can reclaim your meat while a T-Rex is busy munching on its mum.
Or, you could always raid the encampments of other tribes. This gives the game a persistent multiplayer angle. Acquiring more meat also makes it so fewer dinosaurs will appear nearby, encouraging other players to steal from the richest tribes. The ultimate goal is to become the dominant tribe in land of stomping.

The Sega 48-Game Mega Arcade Pack is currently $4.96 on Amazon. That one is the Steam version of it, too, and not the stand alone download one.

$15.99 if the Humble Store page is consistent with the Steam store.

Yeah, all of them are accessed through the Genesis and Mega Drive Classics emulator in your Steam library. It's a great deal for the amount of games, even if most can be finished in under an hour. The only one it's missing is the fifth pack, which is kind of a bummer since the fifth one includes the Phantasy Star games.
Bought the Sega Genesis pack and now my game count according to Steam Community is 666... fitting.
On a different matter entirely, I apparently own Q.U.B.E. Director's Cut but I don't think I ever bought it.
According to the Steam client is actually 665 though

Salsa, out of curiosity, which Aveyond game was that? Was it Lord of Twilight or was it Gates of the Night?
That's what I figured, thanks.

It's a unique blend: the artwork is exquisitely japanese, the slow pace and larger-than-normal hitbox is typical of an euroshmup along with the multi-level upgrade path (and the irritating "you need the correct upgrade/special power to pass this or that bullet spread, which would otherwise be too tightly knit to squeeze your hitbox through), but what makes it shine is the unique time mechanic and how deeply it is entrenched within the plot. All in all, I think not even CAVE and Treasure managed to craft a storyline that details so well the game world, its mechanics and heck, even WHY you have to blow up enemy ships before an arbitrary time limit expires.
It is not for everyone, granted, but it is a VASTLY more worthy euroshmup than, say, Soldner-X.

Not too much, the Humble Daily Bundle was less than stellar, there's a sale going on at Amazon, the Watch dogs performance thread had some great account suicide posts.
