I'm really happy games are moving past the "this is the best ending" trope. Different outcomes and endings are appreciated, but contrary to gaming tradition, I feel they have to be written in a way that there is no "best" ending.
This desire of gamers to avoid a "bad" ending and get the "best/true" ending is completely counterproductive to good writing and actual choice in games.
I have a general steam question. I don't really have the means to buy anything off Japanese steam (since I live in Japan currently). But I do have the means to buy from Canadian Steam. Now I know using unblocking freebie VPNs don't get me anywhere on a PC but via the Steam app it does recognize all my old info from Canada.
But if I do verify that I am indeed from Canada (yes and factual resident per Government lingo, so yes), it wouldn't matter if the sale comes from a Japanese IP?
I don't want my steam account banned over something as dumb as anti consumer policies on region locking. Not saying this is about region lock or that steam is anti consumer which they aren't.
Right now I have to resort to getting friends or family buying me game codes or redeeming them for me. :/
Lol yes I want Kung Fury Street Rage.

Yeah, it's just annoying whenever you load a save. I really don't need a story recap every single time.
It's especially annoying because the recaps seem to be tied to where you are when you load the save, not where you actually are currently in the story.
Pretty sure the game is loading while the recaps play.
Actually, never mind if you have a SSD.
Been wondering this with the upcoming change thingy for proving country of origin. US citizenship in Taiwan currently.

listen to the mad man
I believe going forward (i.e. with the new system Steam is phasing in) purchases will be based on address of billing method, so where you are in the world when you're buying should be irrelevant. You will be buying using a Canadian credit card or Steam credit or whatever, and thus your purchases will be in the Canadian store. If you did get a Japanese credit card in the future, you'd be able to choose which you want to purchase through.

Yup, I hope someone figure out a way to mod this.
How long does an SSD take to load?

The Dandelion recap is forced; won't load until after he's done speaking. I know this because one scene and two scene recaps both load a second after ending.
Tee-hee.
This is probably one of the most informative reviews I've read in a long time, especially considering its length.

Iron Fisticle is kinda like gauntlet + smash tv.
I think it's pretty overlooked as only 3 people on my friendslist have it and 6 have it wishlisted. I would pick it up during the summer seal and hope it hits $5
plus it has some good emoticons and backgrounds http://www.steamcardexchange.net/index.php?gamepage-appid-306700
Nice.
Whistlisted both Lara Croft games, can't wait to play it.. Renegade Ops looks sick, but Iron Fisticle looks too arcadey for me. Thanks for the input guys.
Now I have to finish the Witcher 3.

I already tried that before coming here. it didn't work. only the splash screens went away. Intro video and recap videos are still there.
things dat arent videogames are boring
Some games do it well, Castlevania games come immediately to mind. I'd agree if we are talking specifically about RPGs, especially ones that are supposed to emphasize the player's ability to influence the world through their choices.
The book bundles always end up so expensive.
That's hilarious.
Nope (as in it doesn't matter). The point of the new store system is that people no longer need to use the ?cc=xx trick to visit their "home store" when travelling abroad, and in fact said trick no longer works if you're logged in. When viewing your account page, you're given two store options: one based on your current IP and another on your last-used billing info, so if you ever find that the former is overruling the latter (i.e. you're seeing the Japanese store rather than the Canadian store), you can switch back quite easily.
Oh thanks! I'll do this when I get home. This means I can go back to jumping into Steam Sales again.
Yep. If I travel to one spot and save then load, I'll get the final recap for that area. If I go to the area I'm supposed to be in for my current main story quests and save then load, I'll get the latest story recap.

30 fps is ok. Console folks love locked 30, but even the "smooth" 30 is not so smooth, I'm sure that that I'll replay it once I've updated my GPU.
Y'all should remember that if you're playing on a PC monitor you aren't forced to stick to framerates that divide your max refresh rate.
Just create a custom resolution of something like 1920x1080@50hz, or @45hz, or etc etc. Monitors can refresh at different rates which means you can get something that feels smooth, looks nicer than what you could achieve at solid 60fps, and doesn't suffer from inconsistent stuttering.
When playing GTAV I was setting my refresh rate to 100hz (I have a 120hz monitor), locking the framerate at 50fps, and downsampling from 2560x1440 while cranking those settings up. Game looked great and smooth.
sure
but the game at absolute max ultra settings can even drop to like 27-28fps on my 2gig 680
looks fantastic tho. kind of a plebe convert now. ill probably do it again for some other hype game if I need upgrading

What if I set my monitor to 1920x1080@30hz to cap my game at 30 fps?
Will it become smoother than 1920x1080@60hz 30 fps?
I have Locke and Key 1-4 on Comixology but that reminds me I should get the others sometime soon. I think it would be cheaper to get the bundle but I hate splitting stuff up like that.
Did I miss the "ta" conversation? I learned that word at a Ned's Atomic Dustbin concert.
Made it to act 5 in Witcher. Act 4 had some crazy stuff. I can't decide if I think Dandelion is a doofus or awesome.

yeah, even dropping all my settings to high, frame rate can still sometimes drop to 3X fps.
Battle: Los Angeles has become a part of Steam history.

"Good thing that I nabbed it earlier so I can play it!" - no one ever
well thats ironic
30k goal for a MMO? And the backers actually made it reach 100k? I'm surprised.
Yeah yeah, but, you don't have to use ABSOLUTE maximum settings. Play smarter, not choppier ;p
Simply setting it to 1920x1080@30 won't necessarily cap the framerate, unless you have V-sync turned on. If I'm locking 30 I'll typicall keep it at 60 (or 120 in my case) and turn on Vsync at 1/2 adpative refresh rate. In some cases I'll use Rivatuner to put an actual framerate cap on if the game needs it.

Textures these days (and for flipping ages in fact) are not created for screen resolution but optimised (yes actual optimisation) for storage space and streaming efficiency. It's not uncommon to see 4096x4096 character textures even on games from 10 years ago. They don't start at shit quality and then that's it but start off as this big unweildly piece of art and then scaled back various times, hence why we have various texture quality settings, mip levels and LoD transitions.
Ah I remember those days. It was a simpler time then, the sun was always shining, the air was ever so fresh and you could walk into the Steam thread and relax and not worry about a thing. Then anime games came to Steam and things have been on the sharp decline ever since.

To get stable fourty something frames, I'd have to drop a lot to low, and I'm using a 770, scaling is weird on Keplar cards.

why have i never seen this game before?
Probably because it wasn't very good (tried the demo on XBLA) and based on a movie that tanked.
Saying that it's a Sabre Interactive game so they've probably made the game under a different name before just like R.I.P.D a game to tie in a terrible film was based on an earlier game of their God Mode.
Time Shift was cool though.
