Can't wait until GOTY time to see people realise Overwatch won't be eligible for Steamgaf's awards :p

less than a week until Witcher 3 Blood and Wine, true gamers

I'll be in Finland :(

MGS1 and MGS3 stories would have made for perfect films on the big screen. Especially MGS1. Its a better thriller than 99% of the movie junk out there today.

MGS3 would have made a better Bond movie than every Bond movie every made combined and then some.

Maybe if an editor got to them with a hatchet :/

I definitely prefer the Platinum Stars outfits I'll say:

Sorry is this a different thing from Hatsune Miku?
I can't track of all your bloody waifus Gaf

Umh, why this version costs 40€ when there's no price for the two DLCs?

Just assume both DLCs are priced at 4.99 :p

You think wrong friend, people like to assume I'm in on the "waifu" thing, quite an odd assumption really, I just happen to like J-Pop a lot (maybe not as much as Jazz or K-Pop... or J-Rock), Vocaloid has tons of genres while Idolmaster is more limited in the song styles it offers.

Someone wanna split this Bundlestars pick and mix LEGO bundle?
https://www.bundlestars.com/en/promotions/lego-pick-mix
I only want Batman 3 and Jurassic Park

If you also want Jurassic Park or Batman 3 it is possible to add a secondary copy on checkout.

It will be €3.68 per game. Or if you can pay in dollars it will be $3.33 each, me $6.67 and you $3.33

I'll go in with you on this, I was planning on getting Jurassic World for my wife.

I'll PM you

So I want to launch Overwatch through Steam. Done. Easy. But whenever I launch it via Steam, I have to provide my Battle.net account and password. Is there a way around it? If I use the Bnet launcher, I don't have to put my credentials every single time.

Nope, there's no way around that.

Random problem time...

I've got a freesync monitor and have been playing Borderlands 2 for the past few weeks. Runs at around 120ish FPS, framerate is uncapped in the games settings, v-sync off etc.

Up until last week the game was playing absolutely fine, running as above, but for some reason when I boot up the game at the minute it'll slog away at like 40-60 fps, barely pushing the GPU clock up.

The only way to solve it is to change the resolution a few times and suddenly it will kick in and run normally again.

Any ideas? Is it an old-game thing? I've used DDU and re-installed drivers...

Total Warhammer: Warhammer servers are now live, although a small portion of players are experiencing game crashes.


Sega has blamed the problem on the amount of players currently online.

Thankfully, only a fraction of active players are affected. Out of 40k people playing in the game's first hour online, just "a few hundred" had hit the problem, Sega said.

There are two things to try if If you are affected. First, restart Steam in Offline mode. If you're still having issues you should update graphics drivers and verify your Steam cache.

Shadowgate was great fun, I agree. The attention to detail in adhering to the original was really well done, to the point that at a few times I felt like I was playing an HD version of the original. Some of the red herrings in this game were actually real clues in the original and vice versa so I really appreciated that.

Anyone who hasn't played this yet and enjoys point n click adventure games is missing out.

They hinted at a sequel, did that get shelved?

From a tweet earlier this month:

Heh. Indeed. We have three games in the works at various stages of dev. Finalizing a new 3D engine too.

They're pretty hush-hush about their development though. If I had to guess, they're still working on Beyond Shadowgate but they're not close enough to start hyping a release yet.

US gaf (or whoever plays on US servers I guess) hook me up with dem battlenet tags because the stupid friends list is different and I might not have you, and im going to play mostly on US servers I think. Ping was fine for me last night (this morning?).

This videogame sure is fun. I guess this is what many of you feel about Rocket League

i love you overwatch, but damn launch night was rough lol

still a lot of fun even if i lost like 65% of my games tonight but sadly i found like a shit ton of toxic ppl already which was almost completely absent during beta

tahts so weird, I found no toxicity...I mean, im not using voice chat so is that why? nobody types anything except GG or jokes about pressing Q for play of the game in the chat (and this was on US too lol)

I played 39 matches (lol >_<) and won 26, most of it with a small group of gaffers (MarvelHeroesGaf is too strong lol) so im pretty happy with winning 2/3rds :p

What if I think both games are just okay?
I need a fun multiplayer game dammit :(

cant help with there dude, I dont usually play competitive multiplayer games, I have no idea whats out there. CS GO? No idea :/

Speaking of video game movies, some of those cgi resident evil movies are actually decent.


Also I think people should stop reading too much into tweets.

Paradox has removed a Stellaris mod which altered the game's human race to be entirely made up of white characters with European names.

This mod, which was creatively titled 'European Phenotype and Names Only (White Humans)', is no longer available to download via the Steam Workshop.
"We shipped the game originally with an accurate representation of humans, that is to say diverse in both ethnicity and personality," a Paradox spokesperson told Eurogamer. "We embrace the idea that players mod the game to best represent how they want to play, we do NOT however wish to enable discriminatory practices.

"We appreciate any inappropriate mods being brought to our attention and will take them down where necessary, we also encourage players to make use of the flagging function provided by Valve where needed."
