After playing a couple of hours, Underale does nothing for me. The folks you meet along the way are interesting, but that's about it. Perhaps it's because I'm killing everything in sight, but I don't get what the big deal is.

You echo my sentiments.

 

[Deitus]

A simple illustration of issues with the critics score is the latest expansion to WoW - Warlords of Draenor. If you ask me, it is a complete flop and it was seen that it is a flop very early into the game (heck, they lost half of their players during this expansion and losses continue). Yet the critics were giving it no less than 90, frequently more all the way until it became apparent to everyone how big of a flop that expansion is - and even after that the critics score sits at 87... User score of 61 is much closer to the sad reality.

Critic scores of MMOs and MMO expansions are always going to be useless. The way they consume content for their job tends to bias them towards a small amount of flashy content that can be experienced quickly, because they are just going to play a game for a week and then move on to the next game.

But I agree that the taste of professional game critics rarely aligns with my own. All too often a highly polished, but utterly generic and boring game is given tons of accolades, only to be completely forgotten the next year. Though the gaming public has a tendency to do the same.

People will always bitch about something, or create something to bitch about. News at 11

People of color

How are the Borderlands Presequel DLCs? I love borderlands and beat the presequel twice and have the urge to reinstall.

Cmon though, you gotta admit that its funny. The reaching for something to bitch about is real. I like how it cant even be that they dont like the design, they just got to make it about some social issue

 

[Knurek]

Nearing 50th hour spent with Witcher 3, I don't think I'm halfway through.
The game shouldn't be called Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Instead, CDPR should've named it Witcher 3: Sustainer of Backlogs.

Seriously, I've barely touched Gwent. Gwent! Not to mention most of open world activity. Those 50 hours are mostly main and side quests.

(GOTY choice will be hard this year)

 

[Arthea]

I'm checking my theory, it had PS4 thread with something like 200 posts, I'll see how PC one does, probably dies in an hour

one hour? more like 5 minutes

I totally should have named that thread "Exclusive PS4 game is coming to steam", that would have gotten some attention,

Spoiler

not of the kind I want unfortunately

Oh, i'm not denying that at all. They've complained about the design, the hair and even the skin. I wonder what they'll attack next.

Nonetheless, we should tone down the idle chatter and discuss something more on-topic. The past 2 days have been a bit...crazy to say the least.

I made Pavilion thread on gaming side for more visibility

I had no idea this was even coming to PC until yesterday when I noticed it being mentioned in my activity feed. Thought it was a PlayStation exclusive.

 

[Leafhopper]

Was too busy playing video games most of yesterday to post. Started Sniper Elite 3 which is fun. The more open maps offer a little variety. Also bought Arcana Heart 3 Love Max, which I thought I wouldn't want at first because of the homing mechanic but, I did want to play it since I never got it on the PS3. Enjoying both games.

I would like an AH3 badge but the card prices are so hilariously high right now that getting a even the level 1 badge would cost a few dollars.

As for Laura, I think she looks really damn cool.

about 50 in myself too and getting near the end (i think). I really like all the contracts that were in the game. Jumping back in this weekend since he new DLC is coming soon to get the feel back

Same, gave it a thumbs up.

Somebody mentioned a D3 game night or something, I'd be down if anyone ever wanted to do that.

Fuck, bought Raiden III on Nuuvem, the key they provided comes up as already redeemed.

Sent a support message, we'll see if they handle it.

Game wasn't VPN protected, so I should be in the clear, right? First time something like this happened to me. :\

Thx! But I hate those raffles that use 'Refer Friends For Extra Entries', many will just exploit it to get insane amounts of tickets.

if you have to ask yourself, will there be a better deal, then you've already answered that question because of course there will be.

$40 is pretty cheap for a $60 preorder

That's a good deal and I'd be tempted to take advantage of it but I think I'm going to wait until some time after release before buying it. I'm worried it's going to need time to be patched up and working properly.

Quite excited. I would preorder a new fallout if it was the exact same engine/graphics as 3

Maybe there'll be another $30 error

 

[Grief.exe]

Personally I'm less worried about the visuals and more of the inherent shallow design, brain-dead gameplay, and poor writing that tends to follow Bethesda RPGs. Though Gamebryo was a joke 5 years ago, let alone in 2015.

If you are excited, then pre order. Looks like a good deal.

Oh well I will bite, still a good deal even if it does go cheaper in the next month.

So, i just finished The Beginners Guide.

Mhm. I honestly dont know what to say about this game. Its... uniqe, to say the last. I recommend it.

I don't like her hair but everything else about her is wonderful. If all her hair was long and flowing like her right side, I'd be very impressed with her. She still looks good overall and I hope that she's in the beta.

 

[spindoctor]

Seriously, I've barely touched Gwent. Gwent!

You should get on it. Mainly because it's super fun to play but also because it'll be a pain in the ass to go back to old places to build up collections when you want to compete in the tournament.

 

[Chariot]

I need to throw up
Play it, it's fun.

I played one match of Gwent lost and never played again.
Not as good as Tetra Master.

hey you read my /r/gamedeals post

(btw just cause 3 is the same price)

 

[Stallion Free]

I enjoyed Arkham City's and Origin's little dlc campaigns. I don't mind if they are sort of filler, I love the series' mechanics.

 

[Dsyndrome]

Gwent's awesome unless you're playing against someone with a Monster deck, and you're not playing Monster. Bunch of cheating, f'ing bastards those folks are.

Bait cards, frostbite and scorch are what I use to outplay monster decks. Also spies and decoys, but those are always great.

You're my personal little Turfster.

Ew, gross.


Anyway, GOG is having an activision oldies (read: Sierra) sale.

Get Quest for Glory, Arcanum, Space Quest, Vampire Redemption, King's Quest, and the Gabriel Knights.
You're welcome.

And imminent goty edition which is going to be cheaper than DLCs.

 

[Bubbavelli]

Is the Fallout 3 writing really that bad? I tried to get my roommate into it a couple months ago, he played up to Megaton, and i watched. Of course its not Obsidian quality and its silly as fuck but i feel like the latter kinda makes sense in game. Then again, i havent played the full game since it came out and i was a dumb teenager at the time so what do i know.

 

[donny2112]

Undertale is currently the highest rated PC game on Metacritic, beating Half-Life 2

It looks like it takes inspiration from Earthbound, so I'm wondering if that's affecting the score. User score is very different (but still good), but this is definitely getting my interest now.

Beth can sort of do standalone quests, but their main quests are always nonsensical garbage.
