Fencer (from Nidhogg) is the newest Divekick character, if you're still into that game.

I am just kidding you are right, you said the real sale starts tomorrow! (which it does) and I said the sale(s) start this afternoon with the humble bundle.

Damn I'm bad at jokes, haha.

 

[TheLetdown]

Tried twice to pick up RAGE from Bundlestars on my phone and it didn't go through.

I guess it's fate.

 

[IcyRhythms]

Dragon Age: Inquisition is $7.49 on Mexican Origin. For those who like this thing (You can VPN it to buy it AFAIK)

Many games are kinda cheap, it seems EA wants to devaluate their game's value even more.

Can anyone PM me on how to accomplish this? I'd like to pull da trigger on dat deal

You mean the Scorchers DLC? Because the main game is not even showing for me on their page.

It did have a region lock: Germany tag on it.

This was earlier from a motel in one of America's armpits, while travelling, so it could also be down?

That makes sense since I am in Germany, hah. If you have troubles getting the DLC, I could help you out though o/

That title is misleading, F4 ain't no RPG. Not a bad RPG, just bad.

I've put about 10 hours in (still trying to stay committed to my assassin's creed series playthrough)

That statement stands correct with me so far. It is a good game. Maybe even a great game, but it isn't an RPG. It's mostly an open world FPS with linear plot lines with some crafting and community building simulations.

didnt read the article but it's a bad fps, a bad rpg and a bad game. none of its mechanics or systems are interesting and have any depth to them, the characters and story are all very weak and your way of interacting with them is severely limited compared to a real rpg and the world is the least interesting beth has done since oblivion.

it's a decent bethesda game but imo it's worse than skyrim and fallout 3 and oblivion

It may be worse than Oblivion but it sure as hell is less boring than Oblivion.

i liked oblivion a hell of a lot more, at least some quests in that game were fun

i've yet to find a single fun quest in fo4

iirc you can't fly in oblivion so sadly it's still trash compared to morrowind

Feel like a lot are repeats from the last Codemasters Humble.

Wonder if BTA games will be even more racing games lol

 

[zkylon]

i'm just shocked beth managed to outdo themselves by making interfacing with the game even more awkward than in skyrim

i feel like gdc lectures should be given about how bad the ui work in fallout 4 is

there should be papers and books written to warn future generations about it

this is some of the worst ui design i've ever seen

Dirt and Grid series are good. Wish they'd bring Dizzy games to Steam.

Considering the recent bundle here are my impressions from Dirt Showdown if you are interested:

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198043835726/recommended/201700/

First of all, I think the biggest mistake was to put the name "Dirt" in this game. There's nothing that can be related to what made Dirt games famous among racing fans and this choice left many people disappointed in the Dirt series. We can only hope for a better future for the upcoming Dirt. The TOUR is really, really short. I mean it took me at least twice the time to finish Dirt 2 Tour or Dirt 3 tour. I had no idea they cut so much racing from this game. Not even a 10 Hour long tour, it's a bit embarrassing. While I'm not sure why, I couldn't make a single Challenge but this might be on my end or just bad luck. Servers never were available. Also, after finishing a race if I decided to press "Send Challenge" the game would crash on me. A bit of search in the Steam Community and I can see there were more people with the same issue. Another less good point is about the commentator which is really, really bad. The choice of words are bad, the vocabulary is very limited and the jokes are, well, they are no jokes at all.

However, I still managed to find good things too. The selection of cars are good enough to keep you happy, experimenting several cars while upgrading some of them. The game can look, really, really good. Believe it or not, but I remember when 4K TV's were released on the Market, this game was one of the games for them to show "pretty visuals" on their TV's while having a powerful PC hooked up. You can see this specially when playing at night, in Tokyo which is simply mesmerizing. The lights, the wet floor and the drift really made the game shine during these particular races.

So why did I recommend this game?

If you can find it for the right price -and never pay full price for it- Dirt showdown is a small but safe bet. Again, I recommend playing this game if you get it for a very kind, cheap price. The game is no more than a snack to eat between meals but while it may satisfy you, it will not last longer if you are chasing to fix your racing needs. Here's hoping for a better Dirt in the future more focused on pure Rally events and races.

And here is my small impressions from Operation Flashpoint: Red River:

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198043835726/recommended/44340/

I decided to point out the best and worst elements in this game in a quick summary:

The good:

- This game could be really fun for a 4 Player Co-op. But I never tried that.
- Bullet drops are accurate and satisfying.
- Visuals still hold up okay, specially in later levels (I might be easy to please in this case). The mountains are neat.
- Good length for the Single Player considering recent games in the genre.
- The Briefing before any mission is nice. Really loved the soundtrack giving you a "danger" feel before going to battle.
- Level of customization for different sets of classes. You can level them up and get new perks.
- You can give orders to each soldier in your squad. It's great to flank enemy positions, suppress and ambush if you take the time to understand how it works.
- No health regeneration. If you get shot you need to stop the bleeding first then patch up
- You can get killed with one or two bullets.

The Bad:

- The AI is a hit or miss. Either they can be effective or they warn you to not shot because they are going to be in front of you. This happened more than it should.
- It requires Games for Windows Live if that' is an issue/deal breaker for you.
- Because the Story is focused on one area, there's not much variety when it comes to different war scenarios.
- Checkpoint can be cruel at times considering how easy it is to be killed. Most of them are fine, however.
- Responsiveness from your AI when you order them to enter a vehicle can be really slow.
