It might be in the game's code so modders can just enable it that way :V

I wonder how many wieners can fit in that grill.
Oh man, I hope so. Also what happened to your tag? :O
is it a George Foreman's grill? That determine everything.
I never found DA2 to be more action than DAO. It was flashier and a lot more responsive, but the core mechanics were exactly the same, it was just missing the tactical camera. And overall I actually loved DA2's combat, even if it was plagued with terrible encounter design (waves...). In the DLCs they got a lot better.
The point is that DAO and DA2 could be as tactical or action-y as you wanted. Play both games on easy or normal and you probably want even need to pause the game, especially if you spend some time setting up tactics and behaviours for your party.
But both games require pausing and tactical positioning (or costant re-positioning in DA2's case) on Hard and Nightmare.
And I loved both games on Hard and Nightmare, that's why I'm playing DAI on Nightmare as well. It's just that the design this time is completely in my way :/
I don't get all the rage around Everlasting summer in here
I'm more than hour in a game, there was 0 nudity so far, unless you call one scene with nude back - nudity. If even there will be some later, it probably will, as a game allows you to enable "adult" content, it's not a hentai game, c'mon people. Most of modern games have nudity, I don't see them called hentai games, but if it's VN, then it has to be a hentai game?
Also translation isn't particularly good but it's not that bad as I expected it to be and a game is very text heavy, what is not bad for a VN, don't get me wrong. There is mystery here, some jokes and all in all, for a free game it's seems more than worthy to me. Also it seems to be rather long from what I played.
oh and so much drama! (><)

Oh god youre playing on nightmare.. Honestly you're the first person I see complaining about the combat. I'm sure you're not the only one. But honestly unless its something universally hate. I highly doubt the Dev are going go change anything. They're just going to focus on fixing bugs and stuff. :/ I mean I want you to be able to enjoy the game. But I feel like you might be out of luck if you're hoping they'll change the core combat.
Either way, I hope you'll find a way to enjoy the combat part of the game though :3
You know what's funny about that? I have a weird feeling I might not buy anything during Winter Sale. I cannot think of anything that I absolutely want that is already out. Soooo I might be able walk away with my wallet. Seriously.. I can't think of anything I want..
I hope you didn't go into PopGAF..

When a Steam sale occurs and you don't spend a single dime/currency on anything in it
the mods were displeased, I can't even make threads now. Hope the thread making at least gets lifted cuz there's a few threads I wanna make in December.

Pure combat gameplay-wise, DA:I is inferior to DA:O, there's just not many options for strategic play. Limited AI customization really sucks, a lot of times I switched to my party members, all of them are either out of mana/stamina or in CD, I can't stop them from not spamming their skills, also there's no queuing. Friendly fire option looked like it was added in in hindsight, so gamers would complain less, there are just too many crowd control spells for the stupid AIs to handle. Sill not used to barrier/guard mechanics, I always need a mage to babysit my rogues and 2h warrior, since they generate little to no guard at all.
I'm honestly not used to not being able to have a healing spell at all..

Barrier spell cost too much mana and has too long CD time IMO. And squadmates drop like flies after protection goes down.
Oh, don't worry. I'm complaining because it could be better and I think I could really come to love it if they change some things, but I'm still enjoying it
I just disabled tactics and behaviour this time. I loved tuning the tactics on my characters in DAO and DA2, but here they're not very useful. I'm stuck with pausing the game pretty much every second

Mystery Game 9 was Metro 2033 which I already have. If anyone wants it, here you go.

It's a bit sad that it's still so buggy after what, 4 patches? I played through it before even one patch and Hollywood was a confusing mess.

Is Dragon Age 3 recommended if you've not played the others?
I tried Origins and stopped after about 10 hours (on PS3 so not ideal experience to begin with I know) and never bothered with the second game apart from the demo.

I can confirm that the sixth mystery game is also Metro 2033

Just press the R/R1 button and you'll use up some candy to heal yourself. It was added in an update.

Yeah, you can read some plot synopsis or watch some recap videos. In-game dialogue and codex entries also helps you to catch up. Gameplay is fun, but it's nowhere near DA:O level.

I don't remember that quest, but I doubt it gets any better from there.
Did you retry the Mordor benchmark with the latest patch?

Don't know but I just saw that the bundle starts in 1 day, 6 hours and 10 minutes.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Weird, when I played the game without any patches (or maybe just the first one, can't remember) I almost had no bugs for the entire game. At least no notable ones.

I9 is all woman, but more importantly all awesome. Salsa is just all awesome.
I can be wrong, but I thought preoders are enabled when there are less than 2 days left. Then again, quite a few times the timer was updated to later date before for bundles, so maybe BM16 doesn't really go live in a day or so.
I remember the time when I looked at the Team17 logo with admiration, and a bit of jealousy for my friends, since they had Amiga500 to play games on while I made do with a PC based on a 8086 and a 8088 and later on a 386sx. I still remember managing to make a game run on my PC that wasn't supposed to. The game ran like shit but oh boy, was I full of pride for managing such a feat.
Anyways, back at Team17. Nowadays it seems like they are simply the Worms dudes and their games aren't regarded as good, but they'll always have a spot in my heart as those dudes that sold me a copy of Body Blows, so here's some spares for those of you that are still lacking some Team17 in their lives:

Looks like someone got an easy way to be classified as a mega giver.
I KNOW RIGHT, I so want to start a new playthrough once they put in Steam achievos.
Valkyria Chronicles is in top 100 most played games, btw
low on the list, but still
OTOH FM2015 is already 4th... and I've been told it is not as good as previous...
Beyond Earth is rather low and as I don't see people going about it on daily or at least weekly basis in the steam thread, I assume it's not amazing.

SSAO/HBAO as well.
The biggest difference is in the LOD distance in the first shot:

A staggering difference really. Half the geometry is just completely missing on PS4 at mid- to long distances.

That's actually lower than I thought.
Have not asked yet, so don't know, but probably.
that review seems rather personal...
Yay RB button on my X360 gamepad is functional again. It is always interesting how small things can make problems (Left one is old broken micro switch, right one is new micro switch).
P.S. Kudos to MS for making X360 gamepad so easy to repair
Also Ground Zeros is looking really good even on those YT screenshots.

Whoa, yeah. I didn't notice it at a first glance but that's a huge difference.
dang didn't realize all those distant objects are missing in the ps4 ver
