See companies being silent can often lead to some cool surprises.
This age of leaks and finding about games early has spoiled all you kiddies. You just want information and spoilers all the dang time.
Matter of fact, I'ma spoil UC4 for you all right now;
the best part of my first 2 hours of playing UC4 was a 2 minute section.
I ain't kiddin' I played that game for 2 hours and only one single short section was the best part of it so far.

i'm gonna be so sad when the overwatch beta is over

i'm glad they're starting everyone at lvl 1 tho, means i get more chances for some cool drops for tracer since i got 3 freaking mercy skins and like the super skins i got are for lame ppl like zenyatta and reaper

i actually had a dream last night that i unlocked hot pink tracer

Oh, BTW, anyone willing to listen to Stellaris music out of the game - \steamapps\common\Stellaris\music\ has standard OGG files. Roughly 2 hours of music.

actually just remembered that wasn't a dream and i actually got that one last night lol

reality is a fuzzy, weird thing

Lame people... Zenyatta... Reaper...

i can't get why anyone would play zenyatta, his spells are so boring and he's so slow and unexciting. i guess his ult is ok but i never played him long enough to get it lol

reaper, idk, he's edgy mc edgelord with his edgy face and his free plays of the game of him pressing q and yelling edgy stuff. he's not awful but whenever we need offense i just play tracer since she's so much more fun

i've grown to love roadhog a ton, that hook is just super satisfying, and also symmetra who i thought was really boring at first, so i guess i could change my mind

GOTY 2016!



3€ upgrade each or 5,34€ both

I honestly think this retro game won't be half bad. For what it is.

Digital Foundry has a blowout of Uncharted 4 media. What a load of graphic porn. Dang it looks good. Not PC related but I guess there's crossover with graphic lovers.
It is looking real pretty, yes.
I'm also happy because it seems like amazon fucked up and got it for free XD

i feel like dead island is that game that everyone wants to forget that they liked

lucky for me i never liked it to begin with!

haven't checked out the reinhardt skins, all i've been doing is deck out my tracer

got custom emote and victory pose and multiple skins and whatever

playing barbies in videogames is the best
 
I started Danganronpa 2 (finally) and completed the first chapter. The game definitely feels slower than the first one at beginning. In the sense that there's a lot more dialogue to explain the basics and generally around conversations. Maybe it feels like that because of familiarity with basic game mechanics for the series... I don't know. I checked my save file once and after 4 hours played nothing of significance had happened in the game.

My bigger concern with the game is that Spike Chunsoft has made the trial mini games even more annoying than they were in the first game. This really blows my mind because I can't imagine why they would think people play Danganronpa for the gameplay instead of the story. One mini game from the first game comes back in this one and it's even worse than it was before. And a friend tells me there's worse to come.

You nailed it on the head. The game drags more than 1 in both of those ways. It's still worth playing and has it's moments. But overall the two things you just mentioned are it's biggest issue. For some the strong moments more than make up for it. But to me 1 was a lot better since the pacing never dragged along with the court room mini games.

His heal is pure Showtime Rotisserie: set it and forget it!

The debuff is borderline OP. Press it just before you start spamming your attack and you can down people so fast it's ridiculous. With no cooldown, just put the orb on the next person. The killstreaks you get are exhilarating because you have to strafe just about the entire time to not get wrecked. People panic when their life starts dropping.

I can't argue that Tracer is fun as hell, though. Generally, the only characters I don't like (mostly because I suck with them) are the heavies and the builders. I like the Butcher / Pudge guy, but beyond that, I think I play too aggressively for big people.

Reaper is lame but Zenyatta is great.

He's a pure ganker who requires map awareness. Mostly health spawns. I think he's pretty noob friendly due to the escape and high damage, but people that are good with him make him seem inordinately strong.

No lameness detected.

I'm sad that progress is gonna be reset.

I've gotten some pretty meh drops, but an alright amount of coin. I guess I'm neutral on the reset.

i play overwatch the same way i play league, i just play whoever's fun

i like champions that have varied ways of using their abilities, so mobility and "skillshots" are usually my thing. zenyatta has neither of those, you just click on bad dude and shoot, or click on good dude and don't look back. his ult is really interesting but the base experience of playing him is really monotone for me

all my most played champions (tracer, d.va, reinhardt, symmetra, pharah, roadhog) have abilities like that

also they have to have fun personalities and visual designs and reaper feels kind of a joke character because of how ridiculously edgy he is.

Zenyatta is awesome. I can't play it but it's great. Reaper kicks asses.
I need to learn more how to use Mei.
I hate Lucio players when I'm against them. Feels like they play crouched all the time and hitting them is annoying!!!

yup, fuck enemy lucios, whenever i play him i'm like instantly murdered but enemy lucios seem unkillable
 
I guess buying the bundle for the DI remasters doesn't include the retro spinoff thing for free...with that loyalty discount it's basically taking off a little over a dollar ($9.78 instead of $11.00 for the 3 things separately)

Dark Souls update:

Sen's Fortress is a fantastic place for fans of AD&D-style puzzle dungeons.

I never much liked those.

I think I'll be happier once I'm looking at the rolling boulders, swinging blades, and concealed floor plates in the rearview. Love the design of the snake-men, though. They're like something out of a Ray Harryhausen movie.

The area design and overall aesthetic really does make me wonder if some of the design team were into tabletop RPGs.

Onward...

They failed their math lesson.

Bundle discount 11% makes it free only when you don't own either game.

i think it's almost guaranteed that they drew inspiration from that kind of stuff

and sen's, well, it's kind of hell but i love it, everything about it is avoidable if you're careful and it's just so silly, the giant boulders and the swings and the elevator ride into spikes and the snakeman and whatnot. it's kind of ridiculous but in a way i like a lot

anyways, you've got some good stuff coming ur way
