There's a Kickstarter up for Copper Dreams too.
Happy birthday Grumpy McGrump!That would be Klei.
Very nice. Congrats and I hope you'll have plenty fun playing new and replaying old games with a new viewI got an open box Geforce 970 for a great price.
For the first time, I can play everything on Steam I own. Everything. And it can max damn well near everything.
My life has changed forever.
I kind of knew from here that Momodora series games are on the shorter side but only a bit over an hour? That I did not know.So I managed to drag myself away from Bravely Second (I beat the main game that is) long enough to play the game FreshVeggie got me for my birthday: Momodora III.
I will preface this by saying that I do play action platformers from time to time, but I'm not very good at them, and I don't really have a lot of patience to "git gud" at them. They're not my favourite genre, but they're not my least favourite, either. So take these impressions with all that in mind.
The story: You play one of two characters, Momo or (Isa)Dora, and some witch of death is causing mischief or something, and you have to stop her I guess...it's not very clear, but in a game like this I'm sure it doesn't really matter. Maybe it's explained in Momodora I and II...not really sure.
The graphics: Simplistic and stylistic. Pixelly but nice. The character portraits are cute without trying to leave a window open to be creepy about it. They reminded me a bit of Touhou...but not TOO-hou, is what I mean to say. The backgrounds all get the point across and aren't too distracting.
The controls: Very tight. I knew that falling into a pit was my own fault, and cursed my own clumsiness often.
The bosses: Well, I played it on normal, and some were nicely challenging, making you learn the pattern so you could beat it fairly, but some were just "run up, attack, and facetank." When I got greedy for hits and discovered that worked, I wasn't sure how to feel. I also missed a hidden boss or something...maybe that one is tougher.
The music and audio: The music is charming. The sound effects are little more than whooshes, dull thumps and squeaks. At least the music makes up for it.
The length: It took me a little over an hour (the end time said 57 minutes and 87.50% completion, the Steam time said 73 minutes.) There probably is some replayability, though: you can play as the other character, you can try hard mode, you can try to get the achievement that says "beat the game in less than 25 minutes," that sort of thing.
The verdict: A charming, fun distraction that doesn't require too much investment. Is it worth the C$4.49 in the Steam store? ...If you're a big platform fan and a completionist, I'd say yes. Otherwise, look for it in bundles and play it if you get it. Was it a good birthday present? Absolutely yes. Thanks again, Veggie!

Does enhanced steam update automatically or do I have to do something?
Dang, it's even cooler than I imagined. Wow I'm probably gonna use Chrome a bit more until August, haha. Great, great work.
Where is that gif from?

haha I'm not sure honestly... in my case it came from Google images. I think after some googling her name is Elisha Cuthbert and it's from a show called Happy Endings.

Honestly, I've never seen Uncharted as anything more than a graphic showcase, besides marveling at the beautiful scenarios and animations there's not much point on playing the series, the rest doesn't pay off (granted, some people really enjoy the narrative and seeing the cast interacting with each other, though I always found it to be awfully common place). That said, TLOU was a hell of a improvement compared to the former NG games in the same genre, and I still haven't checked out U4.Melee in the Uncharted series sucks in general. Playing UC4 and there's already been a few brawls that just go on forever, and there's no interesting mechanics involved. Feels like they wanted to show off their animations more than anything.
take notes, FPS devs
but why would you want to dodge Lightning?
This gif is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen.

Since the latest patch messed up Dark Souls 3, I've decided to finally play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chenobyl is the one that I have to start with, right? (I've already have all of them)
They made Nova DLC mission packs for SC2.Blizzars still has a lot to make up for, after cancelling Starcraft ghost.

yea, get the complete mod for that
what did it fuck up
They made Nova DLC mission packs for SC2.
It's sped up and backward.
It's the content I find ridiculous.
My interest in FFXV PC has now flat lined due to that gif.
I've played the first mission, it was mediocre.I still can't believe they went and made that. Someone at Blizzard wants to make Nova suffer.
Giant Bomb's Quick Look of it, for the uninitiated. It just seems... why?
Is anyone else having an issue with Doom not having the community stuff working? It doesn't show up in profile as played and when I try to view the achievements it just loads my profile page
The app still has the section_type = ownersonly flag applied, which limits the public display of community activity.
Yeah, some people were asking about that in the performance thread and JaseC had this to say:
I have to admit i'm loving the screens and lists filled with NOT INTERESTED more than I thought I would.

It's not that Klei ran over your dog, it's that they didn't leave a note commemorating the event.
I still don't know why you believe this... but say, just for a moment, there was some truth to what you say... then this might be applicable:Happy birthday Grumpy McGrump!
T'was yesterday.
This gif is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen.
Maybe if we like you, we'll port game pad controls to Invisible, Inc PC, but fuck you give us more money.
It's not that Klei ran over your dog, it's that they didn't leave a note commemorating the event.
There was a videogame studio called My Dog?
Clever.
But I think it'd be more like they said they'd never run over a dog, but when someone gave them enough money they were glad to do so. When people came to them asking for the vet bills, they ignored the requests and maintained they never ran over any dogs it must've been someone else.
Or something like that... there's no exact correlation to the running over a dog analogy, but this is about the best I could come up with without wasting a ton of time.
I still don't know why you believe this... but say, just for a moment, there was some truth to what you say... then this might be applicable:
This is certainly saying something; as I think we all know, Grief.exe knows a thing or two about ridiculous...
Jesus Christ guys you aren't going to make this dog running over analogy work with Klei.
Oh, looks like I didn't get the memo that it was bickering day.
Wolf graphic settings are really confusing so I'm going to write them a very scathing review.
Best part of that PS4 port -- they get the gamepad support people have been asking for day 1 and the Contingency Plan DLC for $4 less than you pay on Steam ($19.99 on PSN, $23.99 on Steam); and this isn't even factoring in that you could've preordered it on PS4 for $18 instead of $20.
