Need some quick feedback! What do y'all think of this header image?

You still have a few hours to switch it to Cook, Serve, Delicious: Too Many Cooks Edition.

I've never been into strategy games. Civ V will be my first in a long time, and I also got XCOM from GMG. One thing they do have that appeals to me is the aesthetic quality. So much beauty in this genre of games.

I like the gameplay and had fun for a bit, but I have no clue what I'm working toward. May be too much for me.

Burn your enemies in the fire of war

 

[Annubis]

Looking for a confounding demo? The Last Remnant's demo lets you experience what it's really like to be the "I have no idea what I'm doing" dog.

Great game, in spite of the terrible demonstration. It's useful for seeing how the game runs... but not much else.

I wish TLR could be modded heavily.
With some mods, it could have been a killer game.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Huh, just realized I never posted in either October thread... working too much can be a bitch.
Also it being on community threw me for a loop.

It's been so long since I've seen an X05 quote wall, I miss them :/

If you think the Civ5 demo is confusing, never download the Crusader Kings II demo.
Just saying

Yep. I watched what was supposed to be a good series of tutorial videos, and I still have no idea what I'm doing in that game. Civ V is way easier and streamlined.

Burn your enemies in the fire of war

Also related to the best joke guide on Steam.

 

[SilentMatthew]

Burn your enemies in the fire of war

*snip*

Pretty much.

[baterism]

All this talk about Civ V make me want to start another game. And I just finished a game with Babylon. Autocracy is amazing, I completely swallow Austria, and my happiness still above 100. Militarism is crazy, +2 happiness for barracks, armory, and mil academy.

 

[Chance Hale]

Has the install status been half filled in anyone else's taskbar for a few days?

 

[Zafir]

Speaking of which, a newbie tip for Civ V: Never trust Gandhi, ever.

Reading the UI tooltips, checking the in-game encyclopedia when you need to, and just listening to your advisers really goes a long way while playing. Also don't be afraid to play on the lower difficulties and work your way up while you're learning.

CIv V is one of the easier 4x games to get into.

 

[Derp]

I want to play Planetside 2 again but the Australian server is just so damn deserted...

 

[cardinalmind]

Civ 5 without the major dlcs is a pretty unbalanced game. For example, I had one game where I'm still in the ancient times when one of the AI's advanced to the Industrial era thanks to the ancient ruins near him. And this was on a pretty difficult mode. So I got curbstomped by that said civ by the time I entered the medieval era.

Civ5 is a fun game, but please remove gandhi if you're playing seriously. He has become a running joke character in the series. RTS games like Red Alert might be easier to get into than the Civ games though.

 

[baterism]

Gandhi is fine, but you just need to make sure he got someone to be preoccupied with. And ally every city states which have uranium. Seriously, of almost 500hrs playtime I might never get nuked by Gandhi. Only the Netherland, France, and Iroquois ever nuked me (in retaliation).

Just saying

Civ V isn't that hard to grasp if you listen to your advisers. I still have no idea how to play Crusader Kings but I'm tempted to learn for the Game of Thrones mod.

Hah, I wouldn't even bother with the in-game tutorial. It isn't very good. You'll probably want to blow through this play-along Let's Play, which will probably take you a long damn time to get through. It isn't even fully accurate anymore since a lot of game changes have been made since it was made, but it will get you assasinated in style!

 

[baterism]

I think you don't understand the joke.

I got it, but just to make sure people don't get wrong idea about Gandhi. Gandhi inside Civ of course.

edit: I think I started to take this game too seriously, I need to play another game.

[JaseC]

Just as well I thought to check the upcoming releases list again as Randal's Monday's pre-purchase offer was recently updated:

Also, our preorder edition has extra content: a digital calendar, a preview of our art-book and an exclusive interview with Jeff Anderson and Jason Mewes.

A free copy of The Breakout is of no value to me, but now I'm interested.

 

[Last Baron]

Tales from Space can be infuriating sometimes.

 

[Milamber]

Just as well I thought to check the upcoming releases list again as Randal's Monday's pre-purchase offer was recently updated:

Jason Mewes!? As in Jay and Silent Bob!? Huh.

 

[JaseC]

Jason Mewes!? As in Jay and Silent Bob!?

Apparently:

The game features an epic voice over with Jeff Anderson as Randal Hicks, and Jason Mewes as the one and only Jay, accompanied of course by his inseparable friend, Silent Bob... who says nothing at all.

i just watched Too Many Cooks for the first time..

i don't know how i feel

Do you feel like there was too many cooks?

[Yakkue]

How long is Child of Light really? HLTB has it at 27 hours max, for everything. Is this true? How much side content is there?

I haven't finished it yet, so I can't give you an exact answer.
I'm currently in chapter 6 and about 4 hours in. As for side content, there are a couple of side quests, you can find new characters, craft Oculi, find Stardust and collect papers with confessions on them, that are floating around.
I haven't done all of the sidequests I've encountered so far (you can warp back to places you've already been to, so I'm doing them later), but I can't imagine the game taking 27 hours, unless the last 4 chapters are incredibly long.

---
I just wanted to continue playing, but Uplay was first stuck on "Looking for updates" and now it won't let me log in because "There seems to be a problem with your internet connection". Great. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Edit: Might be a problem on ubisoft's end, as http://uplay.ubi.com/ is down. Guess I'll just wait and see.
Edit2: Yes, that was the problem, now it works.

 

[Last Baron]

i just watched Too Many Cooks for the first time..

You should feel like there's wayyyy too many cooks. Seriously, so many of them.

 

[iosefe]

i think i feel like sleeping

 

[Milamber]

i think i feel like sleeping

Just after watching that!? You may never wake up again.

 

[Volimar]

i think i feel like sleeping

Your brain can't process it. Shutting down.

 

[iosefe]

well it's also 1 am

 

[Milamber]

well it's also 1 am

Good night, sweet prince.

 

[Last Baron]

I wish I felt like sleeping but Alan Wake is scurry.

Or maybe it's just insomnia.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

But I thought there wasn't a space Gandhi.

♫ Too many cooks, too many cooks ♫

 

[electroflame]

this will help a bit
http://steamcleaner.tikione.org/en/

Kinda lame that it's not a portable app and that you have to install it, but it works pretty well.

Saved me about 15 gigs, so that's not too bad.

 

[Anteater]

i always have to check my post history on a sunday morning and also hope i'm not banned, those drinking nights.

I didn't fall asleep playing ff13 this time because i didn't actually play it, or did i?

I also beat the first boss in transistor just now.

Seems like I'm still not done with call of juarez gunslinger, but I'm probably near the end, it's very pretty and fun to play but I think I posted about that already, I played red dead on the ps3 back then and thought the sub HD stunk and I got bored once I got to mexico, maybe if they did a HD port I'll play it again, bet that game would look ridiculous at higher res, here are some coj pics

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

i just watched Too Many Cooks for the first time..

I always read that as too many cocks.

 

[Anteater]

It's not a long game, should probably be around 10-15hrs average, don't remember if there were a lot of side content, there were a few where npcs ask you to go somewhere for them, but I didn't really do them.

 

[Shadownet]

probably disgusted and wondering where did your life went wrong?

I forgot I had this, saved about 13 gigs on an otherwise cavernously empty drive.

I'm pretty annoyed that I have to alt-f4 out of the credits after every Walking Dead episode.

 

[Messiah]

I'm pretty annoyed that I have to alt-f4 out of the credits after every Walking Dead episode.

The last one has an after credits scene and an awesome song playing during the credits if i remember correctly.

 

[Xanathus]

I assume you're talking about the last episode of season 2 because that's what I'm playing. I'll stay for that anyway since the last episode is probably the only one that has after credit scenes.

 

[Messiah]

I assume you're talking about the last episode of season 2 because that's what I'm playing. I'll stay for that anyway since the last episode is probably the only one that has after credit scenes.

Applies to both seasons I think. Yeah only the last episode.

 

[corrosivefrost]

So Khronico told me about GoonHUD for Payday 2 earlier today and I installed it on a whim.
This part that makes it so dead bodies don't just disappear... well... paging Viscera Cleanup PAYDAY 2 edition:

Accelerate, you wanker!

 

[ramoisdead]

Yeah I miss the random customer too, hah.

Ok is this better, text wise?

Needs Too Many Cooks, Serve, Delicious on there. Other than that, I can't wait to battle.

That was 10 minutes of my life wasted.


*smarf*

FTFY

Is there a noticeable difference in performance with more dead bodies on screen? I always wonder how much resources something like that would take.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Is there a noticeable difference in performance with more dead bodies on screen? I always wonder how much resources something like that would take.

I put the limit at 512 bodies before it deletes any and I didn't notice any performance difference whatsoever. Default was 1024, but I figured I didn't need quite that many.
I also made it so it almost instantly wipes out shield corpses from the maps so that i don't have to deal with the potential fuckery from too many shields downed in one place over time.

Khronico can comment on his experience too if he pops in here and sees this.
