Not cheating? Hmmm, here is one that's not from Weekly Humble. A classic game. I think everyone has it already

Spoiler

Shush, I'm just trying to trick Arthea into buying more games

 

[Arthea]

It's not cheating if you're giving away spares from Humble's weekly.

I see what you are doing here

Spoiler

lol

If you chose to leave "mediocre" games unfinished, you'd have very few completed games, sir.

I didn't say I wouldn't finish it. Just not finding it as great as when I first started.

LP3 is one of those games you should play on Easy and just play it for the story, characters, etc. :3

It's not like I am having trouble with it, just some of these enemy encounters aren't great.

The way your sentence was worded it made it seem like "oh, well, it's mediocre now, so I'd like to just dump the game and leave it unfinished." At least the way I read it.

Given WB's attitude to dlc, I'd be surprised if they weren't made available to buy at some point.

I wouldn't be so sure. Gauntlet has exactly one piece of DLC on the Steam Store; the other 12 pieces are all pre-order/promo items.

Who's manning the controls? I could do with some psychotic Vinny open world gameplay.

Oh nah, if I was intrigued at first and put a decent amount of time in a mediocre game Ill finish it usually.

Only if I feel insulted or think a game is really bad I won't finish it. Or a section has to be really shit.

it's..... happening!





ya I know it doesn't say when, but I still think it's coming in November.

Nice!

Wait? a Creative Assembly game that is more in the UK than anywhere else? Surely there's been some mistake here Sega? Saying that Rome 2 was way cheaper at retail than Steam and Alien Iso also had a pretty hefty Steam UK tax for a while.

They always have Steam cards on sale like weekly lol. I have a Fry's but I never go in to pick up these cards

Huh, didn't know that. I was going off the Mordor and Arkham stuff where they didn't hold back the preorder and exclusive dlc. Actually, now I think about it there was those two vanity packs for Arkham Origins that remained exclusive.

STEAMGAF, I have a laptop with a 4k display and I need to run some games at 1080p because otherwise the framerate goes to shit, the thing is, when I do this, some games dont stretch and cover the whole screen but appear at the middle of the screen with black borders in the rest of it . is there a way to fix this? I have an AMD card.

Have a look in Catalyst Control Centre for the Image Scaling box in My Digital Panels (or what ever it's called these day) and there should be a check box to enable GPU scaling. Make sure you have it selected as Scale to Full Panel or something like that.

with some games disabling display scaling on high DPI settings help, you might want to try that.

Xbox Elite Controller First Shipment Is Almost Completely Spoken For (Preorders)

I hope people like them. I just can't see myself paying 150 dollars for what is more or less a standard controller. It's not a racing wheel or a fightstick or anything.

I think the improved standard XB1 controllers are pretty much perfect personally.

It's not a hard limit. Since November is almost upon us, the thread will just continue as-is; there'd be no point in creating a second October thread that would be as brief as it would be small.

I wanted to try something else. I like it but I'm not sure if I'll stick with it. I have trouble finding new ones.

It's still cute animu, in a way

The original popped up in my twitter feed and I was like daaaaamn

I won't have to since I actually venture into the dark world of the gaming side every once in a while.

It's not always a good idea though

I envy your ability to play games at work. I sometimes have to work there with some posting and browsing there and here.

I thought going past 500 cause all kinds of problems.

Vivendi just bought even more stake in Ubisoft

It wants a seat at the table

Vivendi seemingly has its sights set on Ubisoft, and it doesn't look ready to back down. After an initial investment of $161 million last week, Vivendi just spent approximately another $111 million on Ubisoft stock.

That second stock acquisition bumped Vivendi's stake in the French publisher up from 6.6 percent to 10.39 percent. Along with the Ubisoft purchase, Vivendi again invested in Gameloft, raising its ownership from 6.2 percent to 10.2 percent. The two video game companies are connected in that they were both founded by Michael Guillemot.

The purchase is detailed in a press release published by Vivendi. In it, Vivendi makes it clear that it's possibly looking to own enough of the two companies as to be represented on their boards of directors. That would obviously give it enough input to partially influence decision-making.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot recently sent around an internal email calling the Vivendi investment "unsolicited and unwelcome." It's unknown if that was in response to the initial or second purchase; Vivendi acquired more stake on October 20, and word of Guillemot's email was published by GamesIndustry International on October 21. However, the actual date of the email wasn't reported.

It's worth noting that Ubisoft isn't earning any additional money on Vivendi's investment. Vivendi's buying up existing stock from shareholders, and Ubisoft hasn't issued any additional stock. It's easy to see why it doesn't sit well with Guillemot that a single entity is buying up large swathes of his company. Vivendi looks aggressive and relentless in its pursuit of Ubisoft. Something tells me we haven't heard the end of this saga.

For some reason I thought the site didn't allow you to post past 400.

If memory serves, the policy was introduced because particularly gargantuan threads were causing database issues, but GAF isn't going to break if a thread lives to see, say, 450 pages.

Vivendi's ultimate goal is to buy enough stock to be able to say, "Off with Uplay's head."

OK, now Ubi should start being worried, above 10% is no joke and it's probably not the end of it either

 

[Annubis]

400 pages is the estimated amount to avoid database issues on GAF.

Maybe if we all make really short posts it could lower the database effort.
