Well I just spent the last 24 hours straight playing games on Steam. This year I opted to actually finish a few games (Abzu, Virginia, Shadow Complex, Firewatch) in addition to playing several others - mostly because I was having a blast with the above titles.

Tons of fellow GAFers won some great games (I'll be contacting everyone that won after I get some sleep!) and most importantly my fundraising goal was realized.

Thanks again for everyone that helped make this happen.

You go have a solid rest. Can't remember the last time I stayed up for more than 24hrs, let alone play. My head hurts even from +4hrs sessions.

And congratulations on achieving your goal. Many good deeds, many smiling children

Even though they downgraded graphics from AC unity AC Syndicate still can llok amazing

[Creamium]

my five cents on Owlboy after finishing it

Spoiler: Loved it, think it lacks a bit when it comes to game mechanics

Feel the same way. Good game, glad I played it, but gameplay-wise it disappointed me a bit.

what are the chances that the WiiU will drop in price in the next months? I can mostly play all what i want to play on steam or GoG, but one game i want to play is Xenoblade X but I dont want to cash out 260€ for just one game. (No, i dont have any love for Nintendo's other games, no bayonetta, no splattoon and certainly nothing out of their own 1st party studios) So it will probably just be for 1 game.

If my niece was older I could have gifted her the console afterwards and some games but she is just two.

Seems to me it was just too expensive to produce thanks to the gamepad.
For Xenoblade X you could wait until CEMU is good enough to emulate it. The game doesn't need the gamepad at all.

Has a fix been discovered for Steam reading DualShock 4 controllers as two controllers and causing double inputs?

Are you talking about games with native ds4 support? or something else?

They added this for games with native support:

I'm talking about Steam's new native DS4 support. I'm playing Dark Souls 1 (which doesn't support the DS4) and am on the beta Steam client to use my DualShock 4 to play it. Steam is reading my controller as both a DS4 and a "Wireless Controller" causing double inputs.

I've had that setting you showed enabled and still have the issue.

Happy Birthday iosefe!

My office is almost done. I need to tidy up some cables in some areas and buy some lighting and decor for the walls. Got the desk set up today with a little knights table and my beer drinking / lounge chair behind my setup. The room is small, but I'm just glad I finally have my own space to game and work.

Very, very nice setup. And sweet monitor!

PWYL-model might not be that profitable... as expected, I guess. I suggest you try the game though.

Also, I have noticed two games got a demo. Book of Demon was well-received, I was sceptical, but after playing the demo, I get the reason why.

I would have been on the lookout to get it cheap and bought it outright, but now that it's in my library I'm willing to engage with the pay-what-you-liked model...once I play it. That's the sticking point now. If it was in a bundle they would get some money and I wouldn't need to wait to actually play it to gauge my level of like.

There's a Gog sale going on and no thread. I really am surprised by that.

It's like Assassin's Creed, except instead of an Assassin, you're a drunk robot, and instead of reliving "history", you're reliving Jack and the Beanstalk. Also you get an achievement for drowning some sheep. Super fun, especially when you're powered up and can cruise around. Really really cool, just super fan to climb around and check stuff out and explore. Took me 7.3 hours to 100%. Despite being Ubisoft, it is Steamworks, has Steam achievements, Steam cards, and no Uplay.

I played a little of this last week while my son watched. We both enjoyed it.

It's a good game to practice using the Steam Controller with too.

Little sale right now on VA-11 Hall-A; I think this is the first time it's been on sale. Any impressions from people?

Thanks for the heads up.
Definitely grabbing this now.

Best soundtrack of 2016.

I'd say pick it up. It's very relaxing to play.

Yeah, I don't know. While Wireless Controller shows up in the controller panel, it doesn't give me double inputs in Dark Souls.

why does Sony keep reiterating on the Dualshock

when is the Tripleshock getting announced

Now this is a statue I want. Sure, it's only $445 and won't come out till late next year, but it's so good.

That's pretty sweet, and much better than the Bishoujo one. Too bad that I cant justify spending that amount of money on a

And why did Capcom have to go and do away with this costume? It's so much better than her new one in SFV ..

IIRC all of the map stuff was done on the game pad. You used it to assign the sensors and fast travel and a few other things.

Fossil Echo is discounted (-50%) after its first major update is released.

Easy Mode
Fossil Echo is a very challenging game, and while some players really like the difficulty, others prefer to enjoy the story and atmosphere without having to work too hard for it. The addition of an Easy Mode lets those players enjoy the story with significantly easier levels (less enemies, longer timing windows...).

Note: The Temple levels remain the same, as they are optional challenge levels, we felt that they should remain consistent despite the difficulty setting.

Gameplay Tweaks
In addition, we made several gameplay tweaks that should enhance the experience. Better wall recognition for wall jumping, better hitboxes, among others, all make for a smoother and more enjoyable gameplay.

Now this is a statue I want. Sure, it's only $445 and won't come out till late next year, but it's so good.

The resolution of this picture is so good too. And a bit creepy once you get that her trousers is missing the middle part.

That feel when you're a regular in the Steam thread but you've been Monster Hunting for months and Pokemon is coming in a week and a half...

 

[MUnited83]

I did the stupid pigeon challenge in GTA IV, never doing that kind of thing again unless I consider the game one of my greatest ever.

I'll probably get around to getting all achievements for MGS V at some point, but even then, I'm good for a while.

Rockstar are the absolute fucking worse about achievements. Ubisoft games blush at the quantity of mindless bullshit you have to do and collect.

 

[KenOD]

If it feels like work, tedious and just for the sake of doing it rather than enjoyment, no achievement is worth it.

Never farmed PvP items on DS3 have yea..its worse.

I enjoyed what I played of Grow Home, but something about the controls felt too floaty to me. It lacked the precision and concrete feeling of a 3D Mario game.

I just realized grow home is a pun on go home

You were bound to figure it out sooner or later.

Wow, I've put a lot of time into Mankind Divided. I guess I just really love Deus Ex, and grinding out achievements lol. Still have to get the season pass/DLC and work on stupid Breach (this mode needs to go away in the sequel).

Never heard of it before either.

Whenever I'm talking about it out loud, I'll accidentally mispronounce it as "Go Home". It's pretty awkward.
