how many hours did lis take everybody
took me like 31 hours i'd say
that being said it wouldn't surprise me if it turns out to be really bad, it's gathered so little fanfare despite having such a great setting that it feels like ubi's purposely hiding it
bosses were fun, but everything in between was mashy and boring, and the story never did anything for me
i dunno who said they were easy, personally i thought it was pretty challenging tho im terrible at videogames so w/e

thing about leaks these days is that day 1 patches are getting pretty huge, so you never know how much leaks represent the "final" game.

yeah, i just always prefer to install something that just does what i want, i feel like i wouldn't even care for all the extras that extension comes with
just caught this, kind of mirrors my feelings with the ys game i played

Dude...Epona is easy...There's a strategy and timing to beat her.
Learn her patterns and then you'll know when to attack and dodge.
Like I said, when the character moves in the assigned direction, make sure you took only one step.
Once you go back to a standing position, quickly press the attack button. I did add in the brackets to let the animation complete >_>

It's already known there are Day 1 patches for AC Syndicate to address issues (and the OP of that thread even says so) but still goes into detail of issues that the patches can improve...I'd wait for those to be released and tested before coming to any conclusions about the game
I like what I've seen of the game and plan on getting it for PC next month

This should work, but there is a small possibility it won't.

wat. I haven't played the last Ep. yet, but 3 hours each for 1-3 and 4 ish for Ep 4
After Unity, I lost all hope for the series, they've gone further and further from "my" assassins creed since Brotherhood. I will give Unity another chance and Syndicate also but I would love for Ubisoft just to take a break and go back to the drawing board for their next AC.

OK so the new comics bundle has some interesting titles in it, all I can say from seeing the comics offered is that the art is good
https://www.humblebundle.com/books
But the fact you get the original 90s Witchblade comic for as little as $1 is a good bargain
Note that tier 3 features Sunstone, at elast 1 ComicGAFfer can vouch for this series. All I know about it is that it has fantastic art and lesbians.
So yeah consider getting it

Echoing the thread, this is coming out Friday? Actual shocker, heard nothing really.

Wow, there's a ton of stuff in that bundle. Like a bunch of the listings are for the full series, things like Rising Stars.
Damn. TfTB Ep. 5 is reaaaaally good. A very satisfying finale for the game. You should play it.
If a decent amount of the money goes to the actual YT-Channels, i'd consider doing that. As of now, im adblocking this site but support my favorite creators through paypal.

It works as a general rule, but there's no way I could handle all that LiS babble in one go. Spreading it out across the year was perfect for me, it was also nice to be able to read impressions as we played through episodes.
I guess getting LiS for 7 bucks a month after release changed things for me.
15 hours. I didn't care about the optional photographs.

Same. Legit surprised. Saw a trailer on TV a few days ago, but....guess the hype train didn't leave the station on this one.

I said this yesterday, but again, remind me NEVER to make a Guitar Hero thread ever again. I'm just going to ignore it now, I've received some unpleasant emails over it and some fans in the topic are calling me out as if I'm trying to propagate or doing some disgusting misinformation with some agenda or something.
The problem is the "standand" experience is aimed at the gerenal audience half of which probably only started gaming this generation or never played this genre of game before,, so nowadays for the majority of games, normal actually means easy.
There are execeptions of course, so generally I check around to see what the buzz around a game is, but IMO for experienced gamers, hard is generally more likely to be the 'right' difficulty.
Ys is an older game though. personally I think the Ys games as best on Nightmare as that forces you to learn enemy patterns and you can't just tank your way through battles, but I know that isn't for everyone.
aren't u a fast one
i really want to play that game, it looks lovely as u say and that's a trait i wish more games i played had (which is mostly me playing too many fucking grimdark games and crap)
i agree, sharing impressions and theories and excitement through a season is something that i love about episodic games, wouldn't miss that for anything
i only did the optionals in the first episode
17 and I have all the photos.
Wot? People send you angry emails over a thread here on gaf? Am i understanding that right?

I've said what I wanted in that AC thread...reading people's responses there reminded me (yet again) why I try to stay out of almost all threads on here except here and an OT if it's for a game I bought

Yes, woke up this morning to a couple. I'm going to go back to playing Tales of Zestiria though. Which I will throw out there, is actually a lot better than I expected it to be.

Be careful when outside the STEAM thread. You have plenty of examples of what not to do though.
Hurricane of the Varstray developer, Rocket-Engine, has released a series of new teaser videos for the game. They keep flip flopping between Valstray and Varstray. I'm guessing it's Valstray.

Looks like it says something about December at the end of each video, but I can't understand it.
There are 5 videos in all. They've also included new screenshots on their Greenlight page.

Sheesh. Never mess with Rockband or Guitar Hero GAF.
Hate in gaming world is getting to the ridiculous levels and that is just sad.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
It's an unfortunate situation really, because I saw the thread and I thought it brought up a valid point worth discussing. But all the rabid fanboys came out with their "we knew this all along!" and "this is better than paying $2 per song hur dur" arguments got in the way of the true discussion that needs to take place.
To hear that you're getting unpleasant emails/PMs over the thread - it might be time to reach out to a moderator.
Ha. There are actually positive impression here on gaf and a bunch of footage that seems to run at decent framerate, but this random redditor who played it before the two patches is the one people believe.
Ridiculous.
Now there's an argument to be made that maybe games shouldn't ship in a state that they need day0 and day 1 patches, but that's another issue entirely.
That reminds me that Shadownet should start using a plugin that hides Off-Topic discussion section.

that thread is pretty much "One guy says it's bad...others say positive things...random guy who says it's bad must be right...the end"
It boggles my mind how people can justifiy such behavior for themselfs.
Steam says 13 hours, but it seems kinda low.
I talked with pretty much everyone, checked everything and got all the photos. I didn't read much of the recap diary, but I've read all the messages.
Yeah, I feel like ArcSys did really well with the games they ported themselves recently (AH3 and Guilty Gear AC+R). Ranging from giving out information about the port upfront in the community hub to supporting the game post launch and reacting to feedback.
The game is loads of fun as well.
Worst things is that people are now using plural and saying that there are negative impressions when actually there is only one "negative" impression where guy/girl contradict itself on multiple occasions and mostly talks about graphic. But i won't even bother replying seriously
I learned long time ago that there is no right side in Gaming part of the GAF I just started episode two yesterday, but the way I snoop at every little corner of the world, I expect to take a lot of time to go through the whole thing.

Sunstone is my fave comic I have ever read. Anyone getting this please pay the 15 and get the 3 volumes of Sunstone. This book deserves your support as it is heartfelt and genuine.

no one has an answer to this? Does your ownership just sit in reserve until you possibly buy the game again (because that's what I want).
But I'm just confused since you can't own DLC without owning a game.
I dont think people saying that they knew it all along and its better than paying 2$ per song are wrong though. Personal attacks and insults yeah, extremely out of hand. I dont see the evil on pointing out that it has been known since several months ago, and that it isn't that terrible of a system unless you play in a specific way.
I ain't buying it because I'm a rocksmith convert now, but I would definitely be interested on it otherwise, having a library of 250 songs and that grows overtime, even with some limitations , would be great for me as a casual GH player. I dont think it's really a "evil" system. The prices of the micro-transactions seem a bit too ridiculous, but for the ones playing without MTs the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, at least for me that is.

I'm surprised they haven't done a Manga bundle yet. Licensing too expensive?
