Ouch. Mine definitely didn't look like that.
I'm not running on max settings though, left textures at high.

Well, maybe (but Murdered already 75% off)
I say he buys it and then Murphy's law will make the game -85% for everyone else on the xmas sale

The 23% code works and some people got 25% discount codes too.

On the one hand, I could understand how a developer would feel hurt and angry about getting a "Worst Game of 2014 contender" video made about their game by a prominent Youtube figure.
On the other hand, when I was watching the countdown timer in Sterling's video and saw what should have been "9:00" displayed as "9 :0" (immediately followed by what should have been "8:59" as "8 :60"), I lost quite a bit of sympathy for the developer. And that was before I even watched the "Review TheReviewers" video, where the player is blamed for obvious UI issues, which is where I lost all respect for the dev.
Edit: And now I just noticed the blood spatter from Google Images. Wow!
Not working unfortunately.
The health meter was doing crazy things too.
The game is someone's attempt at learning to use whatever engine he is using. It should have stayed as a learning experience and never released to the public.

The camo textures on the uniforms look very muddled to me. Is it supposed to look like that?

All of you should clearly go buy it now so we get Squenix Humble Bundle V2 sooner.

No and he figured out how to fix it, turn off the Shadow Cache.
Don't you play much these days or do you make schedules with Enco?
Or wouldn't it be possible to circumvent the rule by downloading/installing the game then go in Steam Offline mode. This way multiple persons could play games from a single library at the same time?! Of course all multiplayer portions would become useless.
Thanks Jase for answering always. Sorry if it gets on your nerves.
1) To the best of my knowledge our schedules haven't clashed. I just jump off whenever he comes back online.
2) I could play my games in Offline Mode (Valve disabled Family Sharing in Offline Mode yonks ago), but I'd prefer to have my playtime tracked.
Believe it or not, every time I get to use Catwoman I just wonder why she didn't get her own seperate game. I would play the hell out of it... I'm having so much more fun playing as her than Batman (I'm probably just crazy).
It's like if the last gen versions were high resolution but retained the same level of graphical detail. Oof.

So, wow, what's going on today?
I know I'm reaaaally late (sorry, sorry!) but I still would like to post my Project Nimbus recommendation so here we go. Screenshots after the wall of text.
Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/257030/
Project Nimbus surfaced initially on Steam Greenlight and then on Kickstarter to gather up some extra funds to reach is completion. After a successful campaign (to which I contributed), the game finally showed up for backers as an Early Access title, sooner or later to be released.
What does it offer? According to its store page, Project Nimbus is a high speed mech action game set in a post apocalyptic world. Players control 'BattleFrames' - humanoid battle suits armed with an arsenal of weapons.
Battleframe doing what I love the most: Itano Circus spam
Boy it delivers. Inspired by the Armored Core series (almost a love letter from its cutscenes and narration style), Project Nimbus takes that action into the sky rather than on land+jump jets, employing versatile and extremely fast mechs soaring across the clouds and between floating cities. You can employ a lot of tools of destruction, ranging from guns to sniper rail guns and small drones that will engage and attack targets for you, called funnels. Combine this with lock-on missiles (which at the moment are still in testing as they tend to lose locks and not launch), decoys to distract stronger threats and even a quite powerful close-range laser sword that will obliterate almost everything in 1-2 hits, you have plenty at your disposal to deliver the pain. However, you only get to use all the pretty toys when you are on the main mech, the star of the show: the Mirai. An anime mech with wings and a second pilot that will serenade you in thai (provided you set the option in the menu) and it's just freaking cool. Full on thrusters ahead and blast everything on sight!
To change the pace, in some missions you'll use different battle frames with more limited arsenals. This greatly increases the challenge as you'll need to adapt to fend off the brutal enemy attacks without just spamming everything at once hoping to take them all out before they reach you.
So, yes, the game is still in alpha stage (and you can tell!) but with the handful of missions available at the moment I can without a doubt say this game deserves your support once it goes out on sale. It's a love letter to FROM and Armored Core, it's perhaps the waking call to finally get the Armored Core games on PC at high framerates and obnoxious resolutions. It's great to have more mechs games on PC too that aren't F2P (Mechwarrior Online, Hawken...) or hindered by design choices (Strike Suit Zero comes to my mind, the flux meter and western approach to a lot of things really hurt the game, still, I freaking loved it) and the devs are pretty active, as well as coming from extremely humble roots (not many high profile thai games of this kind! I'm happy the guy is following his dream!)
The game sports extremely well done dramatic music of the kind that I didn't hear in a while. All very nice on that front. The game is fully voice acted but most dialogue is in english at the moment. Mission briefings are extremely sleek and well done, and it seems they may implement full thai voice acting, which is certainly going to add to the overall feel of the game and may be my choice. Dat "exotic" value, heh. But, yeah, I'm all for cultural diversity and games features in more languages.
So, let's conclude: Is it a clear-cut indie Armored Core for PC, with everything that implies? No, clearly not so don't expect exactly that or you'll be disappointed. Does it have awesome mechs shooting the crap out of each other with everything at hand while evoking the ambience/mood of AC titles but on PC, doing what FROM hasn't so far? Oh boy, YES! Can't wait to see this finished!
Note: Early Access for everyone is coming later this week!

Well, that's the most impressive thing I've seen all week.
MRORANGE, how about making two awards?
One for games released in 2014 on Steam, and another for games people played in 2014?
As you might've gathered from your 52/year thread a lot of us are playing our backlogged games. Would be lovely if we could honor them as well.
This please. I don't think I've played enough games released in 2014 to even come up with five of them in the first place.
Thanks a lot for the congratulations you guys, really appreciate it and the day already starting great!
Sure have to set up a speedrunners event and celebrate the day
Be ready to go fast!
Happy birthday!
That google images blood spatter. So real.
Blood splatter is hard you guys.
Have they said anything about mod support?

Would be a good idea but I'm unsure how the results might look like, with cases of having everything is that the spread is going to quite sparse to give any meaningful results.
Looking at the 2013 results we had over 150 games, I can't imagine what a free-for-all would look like, we could have 500 games with the winner being declared with only 10 points.
I'll try and see if I can whip up something for the 52 games in 1 year thread though if i can.

I hope, the Slaughtering Grounds Dev answers with another video with more text smothered over his original text.

... maybe you should try doing a video too?
you know - actually read all the dev's comments xD that would be EPIC AlphaProspector

It's an Unreal Engine game so perhaps that could be quite feasible. If you have a Twitter account, you can ask the dev since he posts frequently.
Nah, since he wrote the text as if he were Jim Sterling, it would sound like I would make fun of mr Sterlin, which I would not. But I may read it calmy and without annoying voice since it's hart to read, even outside the ridiculous content.... maybe you should try doing a video too?
Everyone who is registered, I think.
Every registered user qualified.

A more fair representation of how AW looks now that the shader cache issue is fixed.
Lighting is a bit flat at times but in general it looks pretty good. Not as much as the initial impressions though as the cutscenes seem to use a lot more depth of field effects which make it look nicer.

Golly gee, I hope I win!
Golly gee, I hope I win!
Seems like vouchers don't work of "VIP" games? Or am I just doing something wrong?
Yeah, at least that if you think SteamOnly version wouldn't work. Thank you!
I don't think the final textures loaded. I hope that is the issue.

I got this game for free. I am mildly entertained.
Voucher doesn't work on already discounted games. But credits can be use.

I second Super House of the Dead Ninjas. The DLC is also dirt cheap, at 59 cents.
I'll also add Muri, which is only 31 cents.
Chance Hale
Member
Yeah, it definitely does. Advanced Warfare's cutscenes look incredible but once you actually get to gameplay things take a bit of a dive. Still looks good, but the lighting just doesn't seem to be where it should. Only on the first level though. Tons of high quality textures everywhere though, mostly just a few walls here and there that stick out.

She is quicker to compensate for the fact that her abilities are limited. To answer your question, I would imagine that due to her historic background, there is a limit to the abilities and gadgets developers can give her without straying to far from established canon. But she isn't what I was alluding to. There will be a point when the main story shifts into a second storyline and tries to integrate them into a single cohesive story.
