A lightsaber shouldn't really have damage/block levels on anything except other lightsabers.

If that was this simple, the Sith would rule galaxy by now.

Or some form of an energy shield.

The game is the force unleashed. but it quickly finds itself fenced in.

 

[Mivey]

the fuck are these security guards blocking my light saber with their batons in force unleashed

Maybe they use light-batons?

 

[Milamber]

Maybe they use light-batons?

Maybe they failed Jedi College and only have a Padawan School degree. Not many cushy jobs cater to lower educated Padawans in the Empire.

I bet jet fuel could melt light sabres.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Isn't their metal in KOTOR that blocks Lightsabers as well?

Explains why they work as guards. In this economy you take every job you can get your hands on.

I'm pretty sure nukes too

They should coat every door at the council then.

Wouldn't that make Jedi useless? Well, they are kinda useless already, but still

Never mind it's a high frequency that lets the blade block a lightsaber.

Doesn't excuse Force Unleashed since I doubt any of them are running around with them.

 

[Anteater]

I mean in a gameplay perspective the combos don't actually add a lot because the same enemies could be killed easily by throwing objects at them or they fall to their deaths, if it's a big boss fight I could understand but not random security guards that often die in explosions and rarely do anything else in close combat.

Game is stupid fun though, just like I remember the demo being with all the physics and ragdoll stuff, it's the kind of game that would normally bored me, but the random physics for some reason just makes it more entertaining, like the darth vader level was just so boring, the dude can't even run (or maybe i was pressing the wrong buttons), but I'm just chuckling at how boring being darth vader must be when he's that overpowered and you just watch everything collapse and enemies dying from environmental hazards.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Most likely more clothing I'd imagine.

Agreed.

Whatever you want it to be, Konami will do the opposite.

Guys, what do you think about Type 0 on PC?
It will be released?
I'm noticing the game is dropping on price really hard: it's 55€ from Amazon, but you can find a copy from other store for 40€, new.
Is this a common practice or the game is selling badly and SE is cutting the price (in this case chances to see it on PC increase)?

SE overpriced it a lot to begin with, imo. I don't see it selling good, unless sub 30€. They thought that if lots people beg for it they are ready to pay anything. They aren't and it's still a port of PSP game, who thought 70-90€ is going to work?

They overshipped it everywhere it seems.

Lots of new features in Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Scandinavia

Looks like a lot of those features made it to the 1.17 update (1.2 GB) that dropped last night for the base game.

-New weather and lighting setup
-New sounds for DAF XF Euro 6
-New drivers, new driver art
-Tires and rims turned into independent accessories
-Added six-wheeled chassis for both Renault Magnum and Premium
-Better support for retina displays (OSX)
-Traffic AI behavior improvements
-Improved engine performance and stability
-Improved support for multi-monitor systems
--Full list

I gave it a spin and noticed an improvement almost immediately. The overall color palette looks far more rich and saturated. Seems like there's new in-cabin sound effects too, such as shifting weight as you adjust steering and improved gear shifting effects. Engine feels more optimized as well as I was getting better FPS.

Overall, big thumbs up on the patch. A nice treat for those not even planning on getting the Scandinavia DLC.

Portal Pinball is Teleporting to a Zen Studios Pinball Platform Near You

Valve and Zen Studios have revealed the fruits of their recent collaboration, taking one of the most beloved game series of the past decade, Portal, and giving it the pinball treatment! Portal pinball will be available on Zen’s pinball platforms the week of May 25th, 2015.

Crafted in collaboration with Valve and Zen Studios, Aperture Laboratories is proud to reveal the “Aperture Science Heuristic Portal Pinball Device”, proving that persistent experimentation is not only the hallmark of good science for the benefit of mankind, but also incalculably fun!

Guide Chell and Wheatley through test chambers by navigating portals, using aerial faith plates, defeating turrets and facing other obstacles, and battling against GLaDOS as you attempt to escape the facility and reach the surface. Team up with ATLAS and P-Body for their Cooperative Testing Initiative Multiball and wreak havok on the Turret Factory by discovering Ratman’s hidden mini playfield.

See you on the leaderboards… there will be cake.

Hey, MS, since you're oh-so committed to PC platform, how about porting XBLA versions of Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie?

I mean, the Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter clearly shows there's money to be made of those kind of games on PC... And it's not like those games need to be shackled to a dying platform, right?
Right?
A man needs his jiggies, you know?

Man i was painting metal tubes for 5 hours at 30+°C. Real life is hard sometimes XD But i guess we can't play games 24/7

 

[m_shortpants]

Ain't legit and is frowned upon by GAF.

Welcome, and no, there's a list of legit key retailers in the OP.

Ah ok, edited my post.

Giant Bomb has a Quick Look of Westerado, and it looks neat.

Man, Car Mechanic Simulator 2014 is legit. I'm kinda interested at getting 2015 now.

Nope it had to be done before lunch because after lunch i have ton of work to do XD You can't say no to family

I hope we get new achievements for game crashes, freezing, and corrupt game saves!

It is. And got a patch yesterday that fixes a bunch of quest bugs.

I think neat is the right word. Definitely worth a play but light on the content. I wish different character's would have changed the playthroughs more than they did.

Outside of Azula, Chariot, -Deimos, you are the only KorraGaf member I know that plays on PC.

GOG Galaxy now open to everyone

GOG Galaxy now open to everyone

And why the hell they sent Alpha codes few days ago if they planned to enter open alpha/beta soon?

 

[Knurek]

Speaking of GOG, man, oh man:

Release: Pacific General + Fantasy General

Also, Nightdive has some competition:

Pacific General and Fantasy General are being published by GOG.com. We are happy to release these titles not on behalf of another party, but by acting as the sole publisher for the very first time!

 

[Deques]

GOG Galaxy now open to everyone

I still haven't tried GOG Galaxy yet...

The Arkham games got Crisis-ed off panel and Babs can walk agian :V

It's kind of funny they exist in a universe where people can be brought back form the dead, but Barbara can't get her legs back

 

[Kagemusha]

Edit: beaten
GOG is now exclusive publisher of Pacific General and Fantasy General. But I can't buy them, clicking on cart goes to main page. Maybe a bit too exclusive.

 

[Parsnip]

Guys, what do you think about Type 0 on PC?

2 years ago I would have said not a chance.
But now, quite possibly.

GOG Galaxy now open to everyone

Neat, I guess.
Galaxy looks even more like a customized browser than Steam.
Everyone's building their client on top of webkit these days.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Man, Car Mechanic Simulator 2014 is legit. I'm kinda interested at getting 2015 now.

It really is. The test driving stuff is kind of shit, but I dig the puzzle based 'missions'.

Ha. Goat Simulator was a blast when it first came out, glad they're still trying to add value. Whether it works or not, who knows.

Has a new cast been announced?

Am I crazy or was this game out a while ago? Was that like a Flash game and this is a full, proper release?
