Really hoping for these two. Particularly loved TEW, and Wolfenstein is plain awesome too.

No. What happened regarding wannacry was an NSA backdoor sitting in windows for 20 years, then the leak took place and ms updated win10 only a measly month ago when they learned about the leak but ransomware didn't exist yet. Then shit hits the fan and good guy ms issues updates even for unsupported os such as xp. They could have patched 7, 8 the same time they did 10 but hey 10 is more secure, sure.
The gambit system was so amazing. A shame that it wasn't really adopted by a lot of other games.
Nr. 2 LMAO
That trailer was made for me.
I bought Dragon Age Inquisition on sale for PS4 a while back in hope that they kept the gambit-like system from Origins. I love stuff like that.

Thanks Fran
Well, you actually just admitted it's more secure - they patched Win10 a month ago.
It's pedantic, but it's also somewhat accurate - they patched Win10 before any other OS. Yes, they certainly should've patched it before, and, yes, they should've patched all OSs together. They should've done this, and they're dicks for not doing it. But the fact that they prioritised Win10 in this situation actually proves my point - it is more secure than 7 or 8.1.
Heh. It was my GOTY 2015.
Say all you want about it not being a "true" RPG or having a horrible dialogue wheel, I won't even argue it.
But Bethesda has exploration & discovery gameplay nailed down, as well as environmental storytelling.
Traversing through the Boston wasteland is an absolute joy. And the shooting ain't too shabby either!
I had to do a presentation last tuesday and left my laptop running and connected overnight so it can do all updates and whatever while charging. Of course it didn't do jackshit and it started updating when I pulled it out of my bag at university. The update process finished last minute before I had to set it up.
The opposite is of course true when I'm actually downloading or similar overnight. Bet your ass Windows 10 will restart and update at some point and crash everything. I hate this POS. Not to mention MS also doesn't give a shit about gaming and refuses to fix controller issues present and reported for months and my customizations to Win10 settings are gone after every other update.
If only I could justify the cost of a Mac for productivity purposes.
Its been available to play since yesterday. Just go to the store page and click the "play game" button.
I haven't played Dead Cells yet, but just as a general comment on timed stuff in roguelikes, it seems to be the kind of thing that you're meant to go for once you get better at the game. The Binding of Isaac (still my gold standard for a roguelike that gets everything right) has a couple of areas that can only be accessed via doing part of the game faster than you probably would normally. Generally speaking, the risk of not exploring the entire area is the whole point of going for the time-unlockable stuff.
Of course, the fun part about how Binding of Isaac handles it is that you probably don't even realize that there's time-limited content until you stumble upon it after getting one of those REALLY good runs and beating the clock accidentally.

I've bought an RX 480, but I'd like to be sure if my GPU is working as it should. Is there some way to run some kinda of test and compare it to normal results in some kinda of website?
One more thing: the card I had before was an Nividia card. Everythime I installed a new driver I used to just select a clean install in GeForce Experience app. Can I do a clean install with AMD or I need to run DDU every time I decide to update it?

Not a mod, just a bot.

League of Maidens. ��
Exactly as you would expect: bikini armors for everyone.
It makes speed-running viable. It does not mean everyone has to speed-run.
Seeing these unopenable doors with fogged out map telling me the door closed down 6 minutes earlier just stabs at my gotta explore and reveal everything side.
I managed to reach one door 7 seconds before it closed and all I got were gold items QQ
I'll keep that in mind as I unlock more stuff in the game.
General question about Steam. I was downloading Black Desert Online. I had downloaded 33GB out of 49. I had to reboot the PC to install a windows update. I made sure to pause the download and close Steam manually. After the reboot Steam started downloading Black Desert Online back.... from 0. Am I fucked?!

Apparently the game's been delayed til September, but I'm glad a steam page is up.
I already ordered the SE that comes with the figure, but I am really looking forward to playing this X3

It surprises me this community has enough energy for both the chat, the OTs, and gaming. Often times external chat absorbs a portion of the discussion otherwise had on boards but this thread is as active as ever.

How come old Lionhead Studios (or Lionhead Studios in general) aren't in Steam or even GOG? I know The Movies was in Steam but it vanished.
insta-buy!

Rights issues.The movies is own by Activision, the code and the actual game is own by Microsoft and it was developed by a studio that no longer exists. it could come back, i just find it unlikely.
Black & White 1 & 2 are weird because EA has the rights to re-release them, just chooses not to. Much like original The Sims.

Vanquish is the game I needed right now. Fast Paced with good mechanics Third Person Action.
We haven't had enough of this lately.

Meh, hope it arrives within the day :v That's a pretty nice deal.
Thanks for the spare in the mean time, MaxiLive.
The former. The only potential issue is that particularly old games generally save configs and progress within the installation folder, so there'd be overlap if you were both playing, say, Quake 2.

I see. So it's like the other non-Steam games that I've tried so far. And that seems to be the case for Guild Wars 2 as well. Our configs overlap each other so every time we start the game one of us have to mute the music again and again.
Anyway, thanks JaseC.
I had one issue with creators update and that was an audio related thing. I was using a beta driver before the update and the the update rolled me back to latest stable. Easy enough to fix, and I can actually understand why they would roll me back to the older stable driver.

Did they announce this for PC yet?
No
Nope.
In all likelihood it's probably ps4 exclusive for 12 months.
Hopefully sooner, but knowing SE, outlook not so good.

Did anyone manage to properly play Vanquish in Big Picture Mode?
Generally, I can launch the game from BPM and the DS4 works fine, but my custom config of touching the touchpad for taking screenshots doesn't. It works for other games like Dark Souls 2 for example, but not in Vanquish. Also, the PS button to go back to BPM just doesn't work. I have to manually go back to the title screen and quit from there to close the game. While normally I should be able to close it from BPM from everywhere I want.
Does the BPM & controller support varies depending on the game?

Nope, expect to wait a year until it gets released on PC.

Borderlands Presequel seasons pass has to be the most mind blowing pricing histories of all time. I bought the full game day 1 for full price (I dont regret it) but in the past year or more they have essentially been giving the whole game for free or very cheap but the seasons pass never gets a huge discount. I hear most of the seasons pass is forgettable too. https://www.greenmangaming.com/game-franchises/
thats the case with most games these days, and the reason you are seeing bigger releases in humble monthly.
Like, Stellaris so soon. Why do you think that is, its because it has a fuckton of DLC that they are banking on at least a portion of those people buying. Youll notice most bigger releases on humble monthly have a ton of dlc not included.
