You can get to pretty much any location of the game in NG+ in around two hours so there's that.
The only downside to that is that some of the bosses can be pretty hard in NG+ especially if you just speedrun to the necessary areas without doing some proper levelling. I ran into that issue a lot in Dark Souls II since I was able to get to the first DLC area in less than an hour in my fresh NG+ save. It kinda killed my desire to play the other two until I am ready for another actual playthrough.

with resident evil revelations out of the way I will move on to the superior survival horror, the last of us. Hopefully my save doesn't get screwed up like last time.

once that game is done (by month end if it goes well) I will trade my ps3 towards the purchase of a wii u bundle of some sort and become a proper pc gamer.

in the mean time I'm desperately looking forward to playing Binding of Isaac Rebirth, which I insta-bought the moment it was on sale. I can't wait to try the co-op on that game.

That game is bad though.

I'm just waiting for Bayo 2 and pretty excited to pick up Korra. Then I will devote a good portion of my life to Civilization. What a time!

It's strange, but I can't think of many games coming out in 2015 that I'm excited for. Elite Dangerous is the only one that comes to mind, maybe Starbound to finally get updated to it's release version (if they make it in 2015). American Truck Simulator too but I don't even know if that is slated for 2015 or not.

Other than those I can't think of any I'm excited for. Sure there are games I would like to pick up someday but I'll wait for sale prices down the road. For example, Civ BE, I know I'll get it someday but I'm still not done playing Civ 5 as I still enjoy it greatly, so I don't really need a new Civ game right now. Legend of Korra looks great but I'm in no rush to play it. I'm honestly more looking forward to the Steam sales of next year to see if games from last year go on a big enough sale for me to purchase them. Games like Dark Souls 2, Shadow of Mordor, Defense Grid 2, Age of Wonder III, and so on. I'm more looking forward to playing LAST years games than I am looking forward to NEXT years games.


I guess I'm just happier gaming behind the curve than on it.
 
So SteamGAF this gaming season is almost over and we know what is delayed, announced and released or it will be released. So last night i was thinking what we can expect in 2015. and i think that it could be really good year for gaming. Many games that we are waiting for a long time could be announced.

2K: New Bioshock could be announced.

Bethesda: I heard off hand that their next game isn't either Fallout 4 or a TES game (which are in stages of development).

EA: I imagine EA will be starwars around the clock.

Ubisoft: I expect no surprises from

MS: Doubt anything major is coming from them for the pc or on steam. Maybe indie titles.

Square Enix: I really hope the new hitman game isn't a platform exclusive, or if it is, its on a platform I own.

It will be good year my friends :D
It should be.

American Truck Simulator is coming along swimmingly with new pictures of their progress...

... meanwhile v1.14 of Euro Truck Simulator 2 is slowly trucking along. It looks like we might not get Scandanavia DLC along with the update and it will be a separate add-on. Hope it's cheap.
Boy these guys work fast. It was just July 2014 when they had their big v1.11 update. But I wonder why do they keep working further East and North of Europe when they could just finish off the rest of the West.

Hey, been away to Dublin for the past 4 days (and I'm away tonight to Bradford for work for 5! D:)

Have I missed anything big/important?
 
You can get to pretty much any location of the game in NG+ in around two hours so there's that.

Truthfully, i dont see myself doing the infinite souls glitch unless i hit some sort of wall getting to the DLC. By the end of DS, i was rocking a lightning zweihander that was doing something well north of 600 damage, making most enemies a 1-2 hit kill and making it relatively easy to solo the bosses. I'm just so annoyed that the game didn't even offer some sort of warning near the end that i was going to get straight dumped into NG+ that i'm almost tempted to break it just to exact revenge against it, haha.

Early 2015 alone is going to be crazy.

We have Below, Titan Souls, Hotline Miami 2, Witcher 3, Bloodborne, Killing Floor 2, and REmake.

If you haven't heard of Below then I suggest checking it out right immediately.



All Platinum week.
But Bloodborne isn't coming to PC ,_,

... Is it? If not, BE GONE VILE HEATHEN. THIS IS A SANCTUARY FOR THE SACRED MASTER RACE. AND ALSO NINTENDO.
Because Zeliard's will be done

I can't find definitive info if Scandinavia includes Finland in this case or not
Perkele! Who cares. Denmark is much more important, obviously. :p

VGC has a history of putting up figures ahead of official announcements and then ninja-editing them when they're proven to be wrong.

Because they're super unreliable. Like in this case they're 30K off at least. Good way to check if a site is banned is typing their name and hitting "Preview Post". If the name shows like this: ******** then it's banned.
Ahh okay thanks. Thats shady a hell. What's a good website to check sale figures? Gaming-wise.

As bad as this week will be, personally my most busy (gaming-wise) week and specifically day will be November 18: Far Cry 4 (expecting GOTY quality), Dragon Age Inquisition (expecting GOTY quality) and Company of Heroes 2 Ardennes Assault (not expecting GOTY, but I enjoy CoH campaigns) launch the same day. If I was after the console version, GTA 5 also launches that day. Absolute madness.
Somehow I just can't help but laugh, I honestly don't expect GOTY material from Far Cry 4. I want to be wrong but I have my doubts.

I buy only things on my wishlist when 75% off, since actually I found a part-time job so I'm having some money to burn
Burn some my way baby!

What do you guys use for cable management solutions? I have a glass desk, so I need something to hide all of the cables routing from my computer to my monitor/amp/keyboard/etc.

I thought it was spring 2015 for all trilogy, so autumn, winter, spring or something like this.
But it's SE we are talking about, so as well it can turn to be spring of 2020 or never.

Yes, but no specific dates have been announced.

in the mean time I'm desperately looking forward to playing Binding of Isaac Rebirth, which I insta-bought the moment it was on sale. I can't wait to try the co-op on that game.

Don't need new components to run Rebirth at 60 FPS!

Yep. From Soft is going to force me to buy a console that will be collecting a good amount of dust next year.

With Square's various JRPG releases likely coming to PC and Metal Gear Solid confirmed for PC, I'm left with Persona 5 and Uncharted 4. The former I am excited for, but I didn't find Last of Us to be the all that great so my excitement for the latter is significantly lower than the GAF average.

Official reports, NPD for America, PAL Charts threads for EU and Media Create and Famitsu for Japan. There really is no decent version of chartz that gathers all the reliable information out there afaik, unfortunately.

exactly right, and I'm sure there will be a great many other fantastic indie games on the horizon (hotline miami 2) that will keep me occupied without the need for new gear as well.

the AAA scene only has a few games that I want to play right now and by next year they will be much cheaper anyway. I don't mind being lttp on everything.

Sometimes I don't understand how some of you guys can buy every bundle there is. Even though you won't even play 95% of the games you bought. But you will buy them for that +1?

I mean.. Am I the only one that feel like this? I kinda like keeping my Library looking like I have some good taste. Though Bad Rats is in there..

*Disclaimers* I'm not saying you guys shouldn't keep on doing what you like of course, I'm just trying to undertstand the reasoning behind it. Maybe it's just me being new to Steam so I dont get the mentality.

Sadly this work is "maybe tomorrow you will work, maybe not".
Last week I worked two days, this week I'll work two days for sure (one is already gone), then I don't know. And the pay...well, is VERY low, as usually :D
That sucks but I'm glad at least you found something bro. Its a start. :)

Nah I'm with you. Unless the bundle has a minimum of 3 games I want to play I don't even bother with em
 
The weird thing is that the Dracula Trilogy is three separate games whereas Dracula 4 & 5 is actually the one game named Dracula 4 & 5.

I noticed that. And looking at Dracula 4 & 5's store page, there are three development teams listed. That's some crazy math right there. Three developers. Two games. One SKU.

No one is forcing you. Never understood this mentality.

For one game, yeah it's a little weird. I make an effort to try other exclusives when I get a platform.

I bought a PS3 pretty when MGS4 came out because dammit I needed MGS4. While I was "forced to buy a PS3" for that game I eventually acquired around 20 or so more exclusives to the platform to actually make it sort of worthwhile.

Ditta 360 with Gears of War.
 
I can sympathise, hell my DS4 controller actually had dust on it the other day. I'm only excited for Uncharted and Bloodborne:/

The Order looks interesting, too, but yeah, my PS4 isn't getting a lot of love. if CODAW is any good i'll probably buy it there since i prefer to play my online shooters with a controller and against others who are also using a controller, and i always end up buying an online shooter every year because it's an itch i like to occasionally scratch, but outside of that, it's hard to get excited for the monthly ps+ drop of 2-3 indie games that i got 2 years ago in a humble bundle for a dollar each
