Thanks.

 

[Saty]

83MB. It begins.

Not only HL2, also Episode 1, 2 and Lost Coast got an update.

Updates for 3 DLCs = HL3 confirmed.

 

[Pop]

Watch Dogs

That bottom comment is so bad. How are you suckered into buying any game. Your eyes tell you all you need to know. They should blame themselves.

 

[ashecitism]

HL: Source also got one.

That looks wonderfully weird and eerie. Adding that to my watch list.

 

[nexen]

I'm not even excited about Half Life 3 anymore.

 

[Copons]

HL: Source also got one.

HL1 Ep1 pretty much confirmed.

Spoiler

Or maybe HL: Source2

just to calm people down before potential freakout

Half-Life 2 (including Lost Coast, Episode 1, Episode 2, and Half-Life: Source) has been updated. This includes all the changes in the Beta since November 2013.

The following changes are included:

Improved readability of the UI in VR
Removed the IPD calibration tool. TF2 will now obey the Oculus configuration file. Use the Oculus calibration tool in your SDK or install and run "OpenVR" under Tools in Steam to calibrate your IPD.
Added dropdown to enable VR mode in the Video options. Removed the -vr command line option.
Added the ability to switch in and out of VR mode without quitting the game
By default VR mode will run full screen. To switch back to a borderless window set the vr_force_windowed convar.
Added support for VR mode on Linux
Added VR support to Half-Life: Source
Fix for an issue some players were seeing for the second train in Route Kanal getting stuck and blocking forward progress.

 

[Milamber]

Aww, just VR stuff.

 

[jaundicejuice]

MK 10 reveal confirmed for june 2nd, cant wait for it to be console only as usual on release >_>

also all these pre E3 reveals, why even have E3

And the PC port will be shit again if it has frame dependent rendering like MK9 and Injustice.

 

[Copons]

Way to kill a buzz Valve.

 

[Pakoe]

I'm not even excited about Half Life 3 anymore.

Stop lying.

Spoiler

It's okay.

 

[ashecitism]

Yeah, it's all about Ricochet 2 for me

 

[AsylumX]

Haven't gotten around to playing this one myself yet, but I've heard it's supposed to be good.

Thanks for Skyborn... If I end up picking the bundle I'll give it back to SteamGAF

[TheSeks]

So, uh, what's the difference between RPG Maker for $1.00 and the $6.00/XP tier that Humble Bundle is doing?

 

[Arthea]

What is Dirty Bomb? It sound so fishy.

 

[ashecitism]

What is Dirty Bomb? It sound so fishy.

Splash Damage's (RtCW: Enemy Territory fame) upcoming F2P MP FPS.

This is the only sane reaction to a new Splash Damage multiplayer game. Hold on to that skepticism.

So, uh, what's the difference between RPG Maker for $1.00 and the $6.00/XP tier that Humble Bundle is doing?

Here you can find the answer:

My guess on why XP is higher-tiered is because it was added to Steam more recently than VX Ace. Also some people like RPG Maker XP more, it is a debated thing is VX Ace or XP is the 'definitive' version of RPG Maker. I'm guessing XP is a higher tier also so those that really want it can go buy it, as XP has never been on sale on Steam before.

Just for a sake of clarity, he biggest differences between VX Ace and XP are:

-XP has an unlimited tilesheet function, as well as an ability to make event sprites as large as you want while making the events effect every tile they take up, which makes it the best level editor in RPG Maker. VX Ace is limited to Five tilesheets per map and the events are one tile individually with larger sprites still taking up one event tile.

-VX Ace is vastly modifiable, letting a lot of the engine be modfiable with the Ruby scripting language to allow you to do quite a bit with it, and its very versatile. With this programming, doing things like lighting engines, fog effects, custom movements, or even changing the type of game it can be (platformers, shmups, etc) and more are very easy.

-XP has a larger sprite base, with VX Ace having much smaller chibi sprite base.

-VX Ace has a much better freamrate (60 fps for games easily) and much better audio system (can use .ogg's and .wav's, while XP can only use Midi's)

XP is an older version, but some people like it more.

 

[Copons]

VX Ace (1$) is the newest one while XP (6$) is one of the older. It's kinda weird their placement, but still.
They're mostly different for what kind of graphics they can handle, someone thinks that XP is better someone not, but it's more or less just a matter of personal preferences.

I haven't even finished Watch Dogs and I'm already thirsty as hell for Watch Dogs 2. I hope they annualize the series.

not sure if serious

 

[Crentist the Dentist]

to the moon is such an excellent game. I'm so glad that so many people will get to play it thanks to a) this new bundle and b) the kindness of forummers passing it on to others.

 

[jaundicejuice]

I just bought Watch_Dawgz, even though I definitely need a RAM upgrade since I'm skirting the minimum. Whatever, we'll see how it runs on mid settings. I really should have finished Wolfenstein and Killer is Dead first.

 

[Stallion Free]

not sure if serious

Dead serious. I would be in heaven if I got an Ass Creed each winter and a Watch Dogs each summer.

 

[Authority]

That looks wonderfully weird and eerie. Adding that to my watch list.

Didn't know it was a surrealistic stealth game.

Are you a Silent Hill fan by the way? It is the only type of horror I would have loved finishing but unfortunately it creeped the hell out of me.

If horror is your thing, I highly recommend you Relyonhorror's reviews and to keep a look out for The Evil Within,

I personally can only go as far as playing Murdered: Soul Suspect.

 

[ashecitism]

Dead serious. I would be in heaven if I got an Ass Creed each winter and a Watch Dogs each summer.

And Far Cry for autumn and Division for spring?

 

[BinaryPork2737]

And Far Cry for autumn and Division for spring?

Need to throw Splinter Cell in there somewhere.

 

[Stallion Free]

Need to throw Splinter Cell in there somewhere.

Yeah Splinter Cell over Division. Don't need no MMOs.

 

[ashecitism]

Need to throw Splinter Cell in there somewhere.

I guess we could go with a month for each franchise.

 

[alr1ght]

I remember the good old days of not needing to unlock a map.

 

[Arthea]

Dead serious. I would be in heaven if I got an Ass Creed each winter and a Watch Dogs each summer.

I kinda wish I were you, because you know, that nor AssCreed, neither Watch Doggs are going to end just like that. It's Ubi we are talking about. Unless uplay won't let to play to too many people, then backslash can happen, but I doubt even that.

Spoiler

as you all know, I constantly believed that uplay is going to die, right from the start, and look it's still offline and kicking (><)
