Oh, god blessed me. There is no game coming out until next year that I feel the need to buy immediately. I can use my full game budget for the sales instead of wasting it on day 0 purchases that I regret \o\

I've got a PS4, a Hori RAP V4, and a Collector's Edition of Guilty Gear Xrd sitting in my Amazon shopping cart... Someone please stop me.

If you have a ps3 you could just get Xrd on that.
It has cross play so you'd be able the play online against people on PS4 too.

My PC went down again right after the Summer Sale so I have pretty much just lurked since then. But once again, here is a little something for the community here, I hope everyone enjoys what they take. I think that the rules still state that you should only take for yourself, I don't mind if you pick up scraps that are left for good friends or family after the initial raffle has ended though. These should all work, I apologize in advance if any don't, I think I was pretty careful though. Please enjoy what you take!

RISK OF RAIN CODES EXPIRE IF NOT USED BY THE 28TH OF NOVEMBER!



Here is a little something extra for lurkers. Please do not activate if you already have Insurgency on your account. It would be nice if I could get Full Mojo Rampage!

I wonder where I'm at... I've not played in a few months, but I got perfect day after perfect day after perfect day... :p

Also what is Splunk (I kept reading it as Spelunk in the press release >_>) and why is it good?

So does this mean Steam (and Dota/TF2/CS:GO etc) servers will never be down anymore? (besides rare exceptions maybe)

Or just won't be down for maintenance anymore?

Either way, big news, Maybe Blizzard should look into this haha.
Click to expand...

From what I got this is a monitoring solution which should help with downtime and reaction time, but a guarantee these servers never go down? Eh, dunno. Jshackles knows more though.

I kind of want to play other games but Binding of Isaac still has me hooked in so hard. Doesn't help that the other game to play would be L.A. Noire. I have been finding out that the criticism that game got wasn't completely unwarranted.

That's one of their devs in the comment I linked to saying that the new achievement (non-story related) in TVoEC doesn't exemplify some of the things their blog posts states are "bad achievement design".
Click to expand...

That's not really obvious from "No, it's just a little harmless easter egg for those who followed the patch notes :) For now, the story is "unfinished", but who knows where we'll take it in the future (and if at all :)"

Thanks for the clarification.

From http://theastrocrew.tumblr.com/post/103220889213/achievements-in-the-vanishing-of-ethan-carter:

Second, achievements are mostly harmful when they shape a behavior or artificially extend gameplay time. For example, “Finish the game without killing anyone” in a game that offers the freedom of choice (e.g. sneak past an enemy, knock them unconscious or kill them) is both behavior shaping and artificial time extender. Telling the player to be whatever they want to be, but then awarding them for being exactly as the developer imagined is just wrong. It’s a much longer discussion for another time, though.
Click to expand...

Gee, guys, I think hiding a sniper rifle somewhere behind a specific bunch of actions hinging on finding a really small and inconspicuous object qualifies as "artificially extending gameplay". I'd much rather have the option of going all stealth or whatever and being rewarded for it should I choose to do it than the implementation of this "unfinished story" achievement. :\

But whatever, as I said in the last post I made, got it, game over, game deleted.

There is going to be $8000 worth of DLC for that game, and even if you're ok with paying full price for all of it, you'll have a better experience if you wait for all of it to come out before you start playing it.

Serious answer.
Don't let into hype of new-shiny-game. Wait. In about 3 months you'll get the game much cheaper anyway.
And besides, it looks like you have enough games to play these days anyway and with the next big sales very near, you'll get your new-shiny-game-fix anyway - for much less money.

hmmm but the thing is, I don't buy dlc, like at all. I get the base game(cheap tho, with a few exceptions like nintendo games and a few others) and thats it. Does EA even do GOTY/complete edition for games besides the BF series?

Waiting probably won't save you a ton of money, but Bioware's recent history points to there being stuff in the DLC you will need to fully enjoy the game.
