Nope.

What was the game? If it's RE5 that beast takes 10 hours to drop all the cards.
Just set up the game such that Sheva is screaming for ammo every five seconds and those 10 hours will fly by.

It was Pretty Girls Mahjong Solitaire. Card prices seemed not too bad so I thought I'd make some spare change.
yeah i'm on 3rd person, no bobble and slow walking
for some reason it seems to be worse for me with a controller, idk why
i'm also really tired today so that might be it
thanks for the tips, will try the resolution thing
it really isn'tIt's not amazing art, but it's still better than this:
garbage is garbage
all of it is garbage
yeah but they're also really organized about it and allow you to just tweak the bare minimum and be ok with it
like, i just put everything down from ultra to high to get my fps back to 60 and that was it, but if i wanted i could've gone crazy with each individual section
i also really appreciate the motion sickness stuff, i'm not someone that's super prone to that stuff but i think that's super thoughtful of them and should be followed by more devs

But that's the beauty of Steam now. There is literally something for everyone now. I can understand being annoyed but other's taste's in games and how said discussion can go on about them. But it's not like it stops anyone from talking about what games interests them. I give every game & genre a fair shake. If I don't like it oh well, i'll just talk about the stuff I do like.
Hmm seems odd. Might just be worth putting on idlemaster when you go to bed.
Should pop up then.
Good god this looks terrible

I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it.
I mean at the end of the day i dont care all that much. Just saying VNs are so lacking in providing compelling gameplay and story that it feels like a waste to devote significant time to them but something must be appealing. Im guessing tits and young girls but call me crazy.
oh u funny teehee

Gameplay might be true, but story? There are a lot of VNs that offer a far better story than games like Fallout, Tomb Raider etc.
It seems you just didnt read one. Actually you are proving that with the last paragraph...
Steam just not get the great one yet, some the fairly good one available not even heavy hitter should've changed by summer 2016
Steam's Autumn and Holiday sales will ditch daily deals and flash sales
Interesting.Refunds may have something to do with this change .

That's understandable, there's numerous people who dislike the Telltale style games for similar reasons. Also I wouldn't generalize them too much. Since I had the same opinion for awhile until I played Ace Attorney and 999. Though i suppose you could label those as more being adventure games, but they still end up being lumped into the genre.
Yeah that seems to be the case.
However there also seems to be some sort of meta going on this sale for deals.
We have a developer in here who can't say anything, but it seems there is something planned to counter no dailies in some capacity.
Could just be the return of the auction system or maybe something else. We will have to wait and see.

This has some style in a wicked way but....It's not amazing art, but it's still better than this:
...this is just an atrocity to human proportions and symmetry.
Eh, they apologize but still march on with the stuff that made the players angry? OK, that's surely gonna work out.
Yeah nah 999 and Ace Attorney are quality though. Im talking about the subgenre of VN that has appeared. The 2 hour journey of click click click until you see cleavage.
Weird thing to say when the average otaku anime crap is an adaption of a VN that looks just as bad. See Clannad~

We've talked about it for a few posts now, but I just realized...does this mean we'll have to retire all the Steam sale flowchart pics and "wait for the dailies" .gifs? It's gonna feel so...empty.

Will the Steam controller make ADOM more accessible? The default keybinds are killing me. Literally.
It's going to be horrible.
Knowing Valve it will be some gambling thing. Like, buy this useless emote; sacrifice it at the altar of Gaben to receive FREE coupons of varying rarity, then feed, trade, and sell coupons to maximise your savings!
It's going to be horrible.

Yeah there has been a good bit of that hitting the store as of late. Such as Sakura and others. However the VN fans in here hate those as well lol. It's just like with anything with all the good there's bound to be some shit around as well. We see it with all of the stuff that passes greenlight for any genre really. Though the bad VNs do get highlighted more, but that's more so because they're a easier target to make fun of. Some of those making it through are absolutely ridiculous and have to be seen to be believed.

eh no trust me ive "played" through a few. Some good, most bad. But me being a westerner in the US, even some of the better ones dont hold a candle to storys presented in games like TR or Fallout, IMO of course. That could be a translation or culture thing but i find most Eastern content these days lacking in the story area no matter the quality of gameplay.

And with that we have a solid wrap on the Dark Souls II saga. About 200 hours later, I finished every area and boss, vanilla and dlc.
The end bosses rectified Shulva as my favorite DLC. Especially the last boss showed me what the game lacked so painfully; memorable bosses which are not just humanoids. Ending DSII on this high-note makes me happy. Even though I don't know what else to do now... besides begging for Demon's Souls - Prepare 2 Die ( ._.)
Well actually the last area I finished were the Frigid Outskirts which tbh confused me more than disappoint. What in the actual is that supposed to serve I'll never understand.
During my short return to Eleum Loyce, I took a short stroll through the area and immediately remembered what irked me all the time. While there are some very nicely detailed structures, there is an overall feel of emptiness, nothingness in very big places.
Take a look at the two screens above. It's nice to have a big castle but it looks so bland in long stretches, has a fanmade vibe.
Anyway, I just realized that I missed the two pet bosses in the Outskirts, so I'll have to finish them tomorrow, yay! \( ._.)/ If I can, I'll post a quick impressions post as well then. One thing I can say is, I yearn for Lordran

200 hours. I could have done all of that in like 60. But in seriousness glad you had fun.
It might not be up to par to DS1, but it's still a worthwhile game to play at the end of the day.

Re: the bolded, where's the /s? I don't see it!? I mean, I haven't played FO4, but Tomb Raider's story has no substance whatsoever; it's "you'll want to protect her" with a neck-snapping swerve into Massive Action Game for the rest of it.
Play Analogue: A Hate Story and bow before its truly breathtaking storytelling skills. I guarantee you that your tastes aren't regionalised the way you seem to think.

Fuck the Frigid Outskirts... How did you miss them? They're the culmination on that shitastic journey. The horses of hell are just the entrance.
Now go play Bloodborne and be platform agnostic.
And 200 Hours on NG? Fuck man...
Even tho Valve is getting rid of dailies/flash deals I still think they'll do something fun during the Winter sale. Like some crazy new meta game that involves coupons or badges. Remember how last year few weeks b4 sale they did the Auction stuff. Maybe they'll elaborate further on it and do something similar again.

No clue, I wandered through the whole area even.

Is anyone else having an issue connecting to steam? When I attempt to start steam it says "Fatal Error: Steam needs to be online to update. Please confirm your network connection and try again."
It looks like some people are reporting this on the steam discussion forums as well.

Ahhh ok, I recall having that issue in the past as well. Remember it just sort of fixing it self later on in the day. Hopefully the same happens here or the thread you're talking about has a fix soon.

Nah fam, can't justify a console for one game.
The clicker game was fun and unexpected. I was always a huge leach since I was always at work and couldn't set up a bot.
With Persona 5 its two.

Steins;Gate is the epitome of VN, minus the otome stuff. I've played most nights for nearly an hour and I'm still not done, the tropes totally get in the way. I'll get the game if it ever
comes to Steam, but fuck this game is long the first time through.
Danganronpa 2 needs to come around as well, I've already been attached by this point in #1.
not likely
Danganronpa 2 needs to come around as well, I've already been attached by this point in #1.
Persona 5 is also coming to PS3, and always a possibility to come to PC as well.
Plus, that's way far out. A console isn't an investment, it's a sunk cost.
I'll put the money in an actual investment and get some returns while I wait to justify the purchase.

I wouldnt compare VNs to timeless literal masterpieces, but besides things like the Sakura Games you have things like Cartagra, Ever17 and the corresponding games, Narcissu etc.
And those have often far better stories than your usual AAA-game in my opinion.

Not a mod, just a bot.
