that's kinda about it though. It seems like they're winding down on the WiiU, which kinda blows because Zelda is a 2016 game so what the fuck else are people on that platform supposed to play?

I mean, i'm fine, i have a 80 game backlog on Steam alone so no tears are streaming down this face but, man, I'll take a SMG HD remaster or anything. Mario Maker can't be the big splash for the holiday.

It's a bit of a barren year but when your third party support is non existent that's no surprise. I had some fun mucking about in the Splatoon testfire at the weekend and will probably pick up Yoshi's Wooly World and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse at some point but I've got that fuckton of Hyrule Warriors DLC to playthrough too. Aiimbo's and Ninty's bread and butter now.

Who knows, I imagine it's still deep in the process of translation. Maybe we'll hear something more concrete as the year goes on. I'm more waiting on Fire Emblem If western release details.We might get some nice surprises at E3, like something new about Starfox.

Guys, do we know if Saint's Row 2 is going to get updated on Steam? I'm tempted to get the GOG version.

Either way you'll be wasting your money, Saint's Row 2 was a mistake and is nothing but trash.

At this point, if that next console is really coming shortly, possibly in 2016, I don't think any major titles that aren't just about in the can will be going to WiiU.

As far as being barren; you cite the lack of third party support... but don't forget the lack of first party support too. ;)

Someone said in the Bloodstained thread it was a travesty it wasn't coming to the number one indie machine meaning the WiiU. Lots of posts pointing out it's coming to PC, cue wiiuleftoutintherain.jpg's

It's a good companion console but it's flipping pointless as a single system unless you really like the small library.

It isn't a big deal, or should be even an issue to sane people but it annoys me that you can't buy Axiom Verge yet but you can buy the soundtrack.

While I did enjoy Saints Row 2 on 360, I will be in agreement in that it would be a waste of money. Everything I've read suggests that it's not entirely fixed, and aside from them locking the port to 30FPS there are people still suffering from the speedup/slowdown bug even on the GOG version, even on Windows 8.

I tried reinstalling the steam version + GOTR patch the other day to see how it would run on the 970 since I was getting a locked 60 on SR3 and SR4 and the performance was still abysmal, and despite playing it last year on Windows 8 with no issues, I ended up getting hit with the speedup bug.

Still a pretty terrible port, all around.

I played Lineage 2 because of peer pressure and I can safely say that Lineage 2 was a mistake, it's nothing but trash.

Real friends don't let friends play Lineage 2 (instead of my bad ones who made me play it)

If you don't want to heed my warning:
- Dark Elf is the best race
- Archers are the best class
- Exception to above is dual wielding human, but you need to be rich for that shit
- Make a Dwarf alt for crafting your own soulshot/spiritshots and sell them to richer folks
- Grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind

Hey everyone! I just finished Game of Thrones (the role playing game) and I decided to post a little review on Steam but will also leave it here.

bzwhJEa.png


First of all, and as always, I'm sorry for the lack of a better English vocabulary as it's not my native language.

Link: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198043835726/recommended/208730/

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Without viewing any sort significant gameplay or information before starting the Game of Thrones it became quite an unexpected surprise. If you have a soft spot for these sort of games then I believe this one deserve a humble chance. You will play as two very different characters in different time frames until you reach a point where they will meet in the story. The game offers you a lot of content to read and if you are a fan of the Books or the TV show this will be something you will simply should keep on your radar. There is a vast amount of Lore regarding the cities and the people who live in them, the religion or their beliefs as well, the characters and the different house banners and so on.

There is a lot of talk so I found this game to be very relaxing to play in a nice session after a long, tiresome day. You answer the questions by choosing one of the possible outcomes and they are written in first person. From the main quests to the secondary ones you will be faced with some choices to be made. Some will decide the faith of people, others will let you seek revenge or prove that you are merciful and fair. Expect to be a lot of political games where even when trust is earned you should always suspect everyone, after all, everyone wants their share of wealth. I did some of the secondary quests but not all them. They are mostly focused in side stories and are not boring at all as opposed to those fetch quests where you need to gather ingredients or something similar. Usually, it’s about someone needing help, recruiting members to the Wall, see why someone did something or seek more information that can be useful for you in the future.

The main story is divided in Chapters which offers a great time frame if you just want to play bit here and there. You can start a chapter and be done with it, get some rest and on the next day advance a bit more. I admit that as I was advancing in the game I got surprised more than once for the outcomes I was facing. This is Game of Thrones so you should always expecting deaths from those you love or care while playing the game. Trust no one and remember to not follow only your heart as you might be betrayed for being too gentle.

The combat is slower than any other similar RPG but it can be tactic as well during combat you can open your Abilities wheel and select what moves or skills you want to do. The game won’t fully stop but you will enter in a very slow motion giving you time to make the best strategy for your enemies. Different weapons are good or bad depending on what sort of armor your enemy is wearing. A heavy armor is resistant to swords since it can’t be pierced but are weaker to blunt weapons so pay attention to this in order to end the combat quicker.

The way healing works is also very creative in my opinion. You can get some flasks but they will be empty. Then, you will have to go to a store who sell potions in order to fill them with what you desire. You can fill them with poison, oil in order to burn your enemies and other healing herbs and medicine like the famous milk of the poppy. You can replace already filled bottles with other things if you desire. This is crucial for some harder fights and will help you in the long run.

The voice acting however is very poor, especially in the sad or dramatic scenes. During certain critical events I really tried to let myself get immersed by the things that were happening but the poor voice acting broke the immersion I was trying to achieve. That often used moment of “Noooooo!” is rather embarrassing and anger, sadness or fury moments are not strong enough to make some scenes more believable. It’s a shame because a game with such emphasis on story elements you really want to feel the tension you witness when watching the TV series or when reading the books but I’m afraid that sometimes this simply won’t do. You will notice some voices from the show like Varys the Spider but even with familiar voices, as soon other characters start to talk in a more emotional sense it won’t feel immersive. As for the normal and non-emotional conversations I believe it’s more than doable.

The visuals are also nothing to be amazed but this did not bother me at all. I played the game at 1080p and while it’s nothing to be stunned about I noticed some really nice details like when you are carrying a shield in your back and you see the scratches in it or the reflections of the sun in that golden lion shield from the Lannisters. While this is not a game to be played for the visuals I also saw my fair share of people trespassing doors, my dog getting his head between the iron of gates and other small glitches. Nothing game breaking, you just see that it’s something that could have been more polished. Because it’s in the deep of the lore that you will find the bigger satisfaction I ended up ignoring these small technical issues and I focused on my decisions, the stories and most of all, the outcomes based on what I said or done.

If you are a fan of the theme then I believe this game deservers a fair chance. It took me around 20 hours to finish (one of) the endings and I know there’s some replay value if you wish to see a different ending in the last couple of chapters.

This was a great read, I really appreciate you taking the time to write it up. You have me quite interested in giving the game a real shot despite the issues you noted (such as the voice acting). If I ever catch up on my playlist I'll give it a go and we can compare notes afterwards.

Looks really nice but yeah, there is aliasing. And a lot of blur :p
I seem to remember reading that some AA sometimes does not work when an effect is "in front" of it. Like the dust in one pic. Maybe I remember it wrong though.

The last game where AA didn't provide decent results for me was Alien Isolation(shader aliasing). I've turned off motion blur and helmet DOF since that helps in gameplay, but replays are as you see.

- Dark Elf is the best race
- Archers are the best class
- Exception to above is dual wielding human, but you need to be rich for that shit
- Make a Dwarf alt for crafting your own soulshot/spiritshots and sell them to richer folks
- Grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind

So what you're saying is, play Star Wars: The Old Republic instead.

Well, that is unless your idea of fun is login into Lineage 2, then load your character, exit town, go to a field of your level, stay there and kill about 2000 mobs, realize you are about 1/10th closer to your next level and that you didn't have a single drop all night, log out, go to sleep and dream about grinding.

2000 mobs and no drop = impossible? HAHAHAHA
Most drops have around 0.001% drop chance in Lineage 2, and that's the COMMON stuff.
