Toren's weird in that it doesn't unlock the achievements until after you exit the game
and it crashes
. Are there a lot of Steam games like that?
 
I read now multiple times that people like watching E3 conferences on Giantbomb. What makes that your choice? Doesn't it loose a bit when people talk over?

For the past E3s I just watched the official streams.

e3 is a huge marketing-fest with everyone jerking off each other, I couldn't take it without some sort of (relatively) unbiased commentary and GB does that well enough imo.

So SteamGAF what is your choice? #TeamNintendo or #TeamSquareEnix for E3 conference? :D

#TeamPleaseUnderstand. I'll watch both eventually, but probably be looking at Nintendo's as it happens. Gotta see more of that Fire Emblem, and needlessly hope for more F-Zero, Metroid, Luigi's Mansion, and Custom Robo.


Happy birthday JaseC!

Since I now have a PS4 I might as well watch Sony's conference (assuming I can), but I don't think I'll bother with the others and instead just check GAF afterwards for screenshots/trailers. The conferences tend to start at terrible times here, anyway.

Edit: Oh, right, forgot about the "PC gaming" thing. I may tune into that, too.
 
Yeah that game's story and characterization is very irksome most of the time.

I really like the art direction and think the gameplay is alright.

I mean, it's nothing like the games in the series but i suppose that was the whole point, right? Still, I can't shake that it's not nearly as complex mechanics-wise and just kinda feels like they should've avoided association with the series because it doesn't compare very well in that regard.

But then i like the crazy shifting world and the incredibly stupid boss fights.

so i dunno. just feels weird, the whole thing.

Is Massive Chalice even worth it? Reviews indicate it's not even close to finishing, yet the developers are stating they're nearing the finish line.

The best answer I can give you is I'm not sure.

Its not a Spacebase DF9. Its a full game that you can play from beginning to end right now. Its close to finish and most everything promised at the initial kickstarter campaign is in the game right now. It is basically finished but there is some bug fixing and optimizing that needs to happen.

A lot of the positive reviews that stress it isn't finish and a good chunk of the negative review seem to come from the perspective of wanting the game to be something or become something it isn't. Its a fantasy based simplified Xcom game with some novel back end base management. Thats it.

To some degree it fails in the same way that most Xcom clones fail. There are two balance issues. They place too much value on an individual unit (long time to make, permadeath) but then requires constant sacrifices on the battlefield. The small amount of units (5) means there isn't room for the typical cannon fodder / rookie class. So the two major parts of the game work against each other's interest and end up being more frustrating than fun.

The other balance issue is the game has a mindset of a hard core strategy but UI of a casual mobile game. This gives it a crisis of identity. You feel that you need and should be able to do more but the game doesn't give you the tools nor the information to do so.

Thats a lot of negative I know. However it is a complete product. One that is unique in a genre. It has a fresh look and a surprisingly refreshing audio track as well.
 
I love the negative messages that we receive. Of course, we get a healthy number of them from Lovecraft Purists, but my favorites have to be the ones from people going "nobody likes your game. I know this is only your first one, but you suck and you should just stop making games". They say it so nicely, too. Like it's a simple request.

I had to delete one because it was filled with racial slurs and was just disgusting. Basically, "only white people should make video games".

We're all white. We're paste.

The vast majority of the times I see someone bring up DX12 on here they seem to think it's some magic formula, a secret sauce if you will, that will make every problem go away and bring bullshit trailer level of visuals back from the dead. You maniacs Microsoft. You've deluded them all to hell!!!

Took me a good while to get into since for some reason I expected something casual. Which isn't the case at all and the controls are rather finicky but now I really like it.

Happy birthday, Jasec, buy something that's not a steam game for a change, if you buy a game it'll feel like any other day.

Unholy Heights devs misunderstand what sales are supposed to be. Still looks like an interesting game, though.

By the way, SteamGAF get One Way Heroics - it's the best.

the game is definitely worth that money, I paid full price and had no regrets.

edited: not to mention it's lvl 1 badge is Cheepy, it doesn't get any better than that as far as badges go

Happy birthday, JaseC. Is SteamGAF flirting with you?

Thanks. :) And no more than usual. :p

-40% is impulse purchase territory. Sold!

Your game sounds incredible.

Both games are pretty good.

Guess how long it took for someone to ask why some console fps isn't on the list.

I can't believe it was the first post
