In all seriousness, I'm extremely interested in how GOG Galaxy is going to tackle playtime tracking and whether or not they decide to integrate it with their social system or not. On one hand Steam does really well for this, but doesn't track game time for non-Steam games. On the other extreme opposite, sites like Raptr track absolutely everything but lack any sort of understandable cohesion when it comes to unifying that data in a meaningful way.

Just spitballing stuff here, but using GOG's infrastructure it may be possible to make a hybrid GOG / Steam client (you'd still need the actual Steam client, sadly) but it could unify all of your GOG and Steam games into a single place. GOG would still track your game time (presumably, depending on how it's set up) regardless of where the game is launching from.

I know right? The ending is so good.
I expect Mafia 3 at E3. It's been murmured for awhile now.

 

[Nabs]

Fine, fine. I'll go finish Mafia II. I put like 10 hours in the demo but the game never really grabbed me. I guess I didn't really care for the mission structure.

 

[Parsnip]

I remember liking the first Mafia game, I should probably play the second one at some point.

The Fall sure is pretty

I bought that game on Onlive for like 2 bucks or something but never got around to finishing it(gaming laptop broke down & our internet provider changed so i had shit internet and couldn't play it well on our old house computer). I really enjoyed it, i wanna get it on steam and replay it, i was really digging the story from what I remember.

so far it's just incredibly slow and moving the little guy with the right stick feels off and annoying

maybe im not in the mood at this moment but the pace + needlessly confusing forced rhyme dialogue really bummed me out

Just a reminder, after you redeemed Call of Pripyat, the key provided by steam could then be used on GOG.

But yeah, it looks boring indeed. Beautiful art though.

You definitely want to play it like it's a linear game, which it really is. You don't get anything out of the open world really.

For me, Mafia 2 is an incredibly compotent game where all the major gameplay components are simply spot-on, yet it never rises above its base parts and becomes something more.

Probably doesn't help that I can't stand Italian gang shit.

I just can't relate to them.

Took the bait on Grim Fandango Remastered 33% off. I don't like what Double Fine do as of late, but I look forward to finally playing one of the adventure masterpieces.

Capcom vs SNK 2 is better than Skullgirls though. Sakura and Yuri wrecking stuff up!

 

[TheLetdown]

No problem weeaboo.

Forgot to add. Maybe take a look at your PSU for the necessary power connectors. Reference 970 needs 6+6 pins while MSI needs 8+6. I think EVGA even needs 8+8.
Shouldn't be a problem tbh but better check it out while you open the case for length measurement.

I just scooped an EVGA. It takes an 8/6 or a 6+2/6.

The connectors are on the side, so while it's a really long piece (like, 2 or so inches bigger than my 560ti) there's still room for it in my full size case without much finagling at all.

And I suck at cord management since I always hit this point where it's mostly good and I let out an audible "fuck it."

Skullgirls is a great dating sim, though.

I gotta say the world of skullgirls needs to be explored in other genres.

Yeah, that would be cool. Fighting games aren't really good for world/character building.

Dude it's been out for over a year already and has been out on DVD/blue ray for like 4-5 months, go see it NOW! Top 3 Marvel film for sure.

 

[spindoctor]

I played and finished Broken Age over the past couple of days. I backed the Kickstarter but decided to wait until the game was completed before starting it. I hate to say it but all the complaints about the puzzles from Act 2 seem valid to me.

Double Fine did deliver the promised old school adventure game. The thing is... those old adventure games are remembered fondly for their writing, characters and humor. Not for their mechanics. Nostalgia lets us gloss over all the terrible and illogical puzzles we used to put up with back in the day. Broken Age just serves as a reminder of how bad things used to be.

I've watched Double Fine put their everything into this game during the last three years. The created a game full of charm, wit and with amazing production values. But when the credits rolled the only emotion it invoked in me was irritation and annoyance at the puzzles near the end. What a shame.

Post the spoiler in spoiler tags. I'm trying to think of what can actually be spoiled in that movie.

I'm not sure if it's a spoiler, and I don't want to post it because then someone will confirm if it is or it isn't. Even then, it's not that big of deal in the long run (I think). I don't really watch comic book films for the plot.

The identity of Winter Soldier maybe, but that hardly affects the enjoyment of that movie.

Man of Steel and Thor 2, both of which were incredibly disappointing. I seriously drifted off near the ends. So... I'm just waiting to be in the mood for both movies AND superheroes.

LMFAOOO I'm reading it and im like wtf, why did he give it a thumbs down. the reason is hilarious. I'd like to that art direction doesn't effect my purchasing decisions but I'd be a liar. Normally i don't care but I have either bought or avoided a game solely on its art direction. for example, i flat out refuse to by Yoshi's New Story. the art for that game is the ugliest shit nintendo has ever done(that i can recall). like who the hell approved of that shit? I see what they were going for but why did no one come in and say "guys... this isn't working out"? A game that I have purchased cause I enjoyed its art so much Alice Madness Returns(also helps that I enjoyed the concept of a dark take on Alice in Wonderland)

well in the defense of super hero movies, both those movies(plus the first thor) are complete ass. Thor is without a doubt the worst hero in the MCU. I swear, I don't understand how that movie is getting ANOTHER sequel. Also its one of the worst examples on how they try to shoe horn a love interest into the movie. they tried way to hard to make that girl relevant to the plot and it simply doesn't work. cut that shit out, plus how you gonna tell me Thor is a God but the dude is weak as shit, Hulk and Iron Man(a god damn human in a machine) can fuck him up, like bruh. I bet my man the Cap'n(the best hero in the MCU imo, also has the best movies too) can fuck him up too.
