I mean now that it has released you can watch any number of streamers, read reviews and see if it seems like you would like the game. Then, you can still return it (if you buy from steam) after trying it for a few hours and dont like it. Although if you watch videos you can tell within a few minutes if the game is for you or not.

I know what you are saying and I get it, but 99% of games dont have demos. I actually dont remember the last "Demo" I played. I guess the division beta would be it.

I do agree with you, demos after the release are kind of pointless to me at least, I know what I will like and dislike if I see gameplay so demos just serve as teaser before release most of the time.
Guess they're nice for people who love to experiment different games and they already have a demo so.. I dunno. Prey is good.

 

[BoosterDuck]

if Prey is so good then why aren't there Morgan Yu and Mimic Funko Pops like Disho2 has 😡

 

[Vamphuntr]

I also got a duplicate key for Prey 2006. PlayAsia replied saying they are out of stock, but asking for patience as they will try to get more.

I'm​ not sure if I should wait or go for another source. What if they can't get more keys?

I will wait for a while but it's obvious they don't have anymore and are clueless. My key has a 14 added to it because they probably thought they could add numbers to make it unique haha.

 

[Teggy]

Pretty much everyone in Prey is ugly. It's like they took the art style they use for gang members and other antagonists in Dishonored, but applied it to every character in the game.

 

[arts&crafts]

Mine as well! (27) I wonder if we were given the same key.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

You know. they still reelased demos for Dishonored 2 and Doom those games long time after.

 

[PaulSane]

Finally finished Trails FC, took me about 100 hours in total - got every achievement, and i'm pretty sure i've read at least 99% of all NPC dialogue, i was very thorough with this game, but it was well worth it. It would take less time if i was using speedhack from the start, spent ages running around talking to NPCs in the first half of the game
Usually, i play turn-based games on high difficulties - but in Trails, i feel like there is a little bit much randomness in combat - those "Guaranteed crit" and "+50 str" turns can really screw you over, even on normal. I was also fighting a certain boss for the achievement, and i think it took me almost 20 tries to beat it, only managed to do it when the turn order aligned in my favor. I'm all for a tactical combat, but when your tactics can be screwed by RNG, i prefer not to bother
I hear there are difficulty-specific achievements in 3rd, which displeases me greatly.
Time to start SC now, by the looks of things, it's quite a bit longer than FC, so i guess my gaming schedule for the next month is set.

Like no games have demos anymore, its not a huge deal

Except Prey did get a demo on the PS4 and Xbox One, so you can understand why people would ask about a pc demo.

yeah that's bizarre

Yeah, I don't know why they didn't release it. The same with Nier Automata though. =/

[Javier23]

Yeah, I sure do love reading about how Spec Ops is all about the meta commentary on video games. I remember reading a post somewhere where the poster said that the developers deliberately made a mechanically mediocre game because it was supposed to prove some greater point about shooters. Like, the developers could have done it better, but they made a conscious design decision to implement sub par mechanics to prove a point. That was great. And then there's this implicit accusation that you were too dumb to appreciate this mediocre game that was actually brilliant because it was deliberately mediocre. That's some emperor's new clothes horseshit but sure, let's go with that.

Also, people saying MGSV is unfinished because... You know, the phantom pain and all. That Kojima guy sure is a genius!

If you'll approach SC in the same way, it's almost twice as long, but still very much worth it, it's harder than FC though, there are some fights in there that are in no way fair, and for one of those you can't even prepare in any way. But! they are also optional, otoh if you want 100% that game, nothing is optional.

I think we're more likely to see a Nintendo game on Steam before Atlus lets filthy PC gamers touch their games.

 

[Stallion Free]

I think my eyes rolled out of my head as soon it registered that Spec Ops The Line was the 10th retelling of Heart of Darkness in media. It's not even the first video game edition of the story. It was just too on the nose for me.

 

[Parsnip]

I can't be the only one who thinks that all funko pops look like trash, right?



Started Mad Max yesterday. Seems okay. Only played for a bit but their take on the Batman combat doesn't feel very tight, seems serviceable enough to keep going though.

It doesn't do anything super good so I guess what you see is what you'll get, but I really sorta liked driving through the wasteland and punching some dudes, or that I'm just a graphic whore that just really enjoyed the visuals

It looks like the Elliot Quest update is out now:

Elliot Quest has been rebuilt from the ground up! This latest version is the first release of the C++ rewrite, which was done so we can add new features and continue to support the game.

In honor of these updates, and to thank the Steam community who have supported the game, we're discounting Elliot Quest by 25%. (Next week we will be raising the price to $14.99)

These updates are only for the PC build. Mac & Linux updates should be coming at some point in the future.

- Adds multiple save slots
- Adds Steam achievements
- Adds Steam Cloud Saves
- Adds Full controller support + multiple control modes (choose between 4 modes on the title screen)
- Adds Localization: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Japanese
- Adds new hidden collectibles and a secret area (paintings from the console version)
- Lots of performance optimizations
- Lots of bug fixes
- Removes Windows XP support

*IMPORTANT* Unfortunately your existing save data will not work with the updated version. We are currently working on a tool that will export and convert the save data from the old version, which we are expecting to finish in about a month.

Nerds like to buy useless crap like those things. Just like kids and the Minion plague of 2015.

If you collect Funkpops you basically lose 80% of your dateability

I just saw a minions trailer last night (DM3), clearly the plague is still strong.

I have one Funkopop and that's more than enough.

Like no games have demos anymore, its not a huge deal

May not be a popular opinion, but between YouTube and Twitch, there isn't much need for demos anymore.

Virtually every release, from big AAA down to niche indie, will have dozens of people recording Let's Play videos showing off the game from start to finish.

If I'm on the fence, I only need to watch a little footage from sources I trust and enjoy to determine if a purchase is right for me.

 

[Phawx]

It looks like the Elliot Quest update is out now:

Nice. Once again recommending Elliot Quest to one and all.

To think how many times this game was available for $1

 

[KenOD]

I'm glad to see Elliot Quest is getting an update. It's the best Zelda 2 type game out there, but it still had some flaws to it that have hopefully been fixed.

 

[Anteater]

that new dude in sf5 looks horrible

So apparently according to Kaldaien, Garry, of Garry's Mod and Rust fame... pirated NiEr Automata.

that's... interesting, to say the least. You'd think with all the crapload of money he gets from Garry's Mod and Rust he would never feel the need to pirate for the rest of his life.

Can you ELi5 how he would know?

 

[prudislav]

NiEr Automata FAR fix ( Kaldaien mod that fixes a lot of issues with the games) recently got updated with a anti-piracy measure that checks if you own the game on Steam (or other valid license like family sharing)

 

[Amzin]

A few of the Funkopops are OK. I have the Ghost (wolf), and PipBoy ones and they're nice. I would agree that 99% of the human ones look dumb. I <3 the Ghost one though

So a third party says it added an unsupported anti-piracy measure through a custom .dll, and claims it caught a (potentially multi) millionaire pirating a game?

I'm going to need to see some receipts here.

I mean, the dude has a pretty lenghty list of mod fixes and a good reputation so I don't see why he would lie. The anti-piracy protection seems to be working too, as there have been people popping up in that thread that didn't own the game that encountered that exact measure.
