Sometimes I want to play Bloodlines again (and actually make it through the final area this time), but then I remember the dungeons and decide that, naw, I'm good. Then I remember Malkavians exist and feel the urge again.

Such a conundrum.

There is absolutely no shame in no-clipping on through that sewer dungeon near the end, especially if you've already done it once. Even the dev's say that dungeon was a subpar rush job. I think it's as simple as opening the dev console and typing in noclip too. Just, y'know, don't go mad with power.

I actually feel a lot of it is a rush job (gameplay-wise) but the writing, world, and sheer ambition of it makes me give it a lot of slack. Kind of like KotOR2, in that regard.

Next time I play it I'll definitely do that.

 

[Nabs]

I wouldn't mind a mod that cuts the last 10 or so hours of the game.

Guys, Yaiba Ninja Gaiden Z worth a shot? The visual style looks great and the gameplay can't be that bad. Decisions, decisions...

For the record, that Nosferatu game that's been bundled a billion times (Nosferatu: Wrath of Malachi) is actually surprisingly good. It has a mixture of surprisingly effective atmosphere, slight procedural generation (the layout isn't procedural, but what doors are locked/opened at the start, where keys are, where enemies are, etc., is), and a number of hilarious bugs (the amusing kind, though). It's actually not half bad.

It's only ~350mb download too. Looks neat enough to give a few spooky minutes.

I can't give a timeframe for how quickly it will happen, but it will happen.

Owlboy gets priority because it's Owlboy, though.

Use the same thing you use to cleanse your body.

But really just scrape that shit off with your nail or something then clean it with some rubbing alcohol shrug.

Just finished Ys II. So many feels in that ending.
Subterranean Canal theme is so good.

I'm ready for Xananext.

Well, two more days to grab it or wait for a future Koei Tecmo HB.

Just claw it off. Or ignore it entirely; it will eventually smooth out into the perfect mousepad (so long as you never touch it with your hands).

...it was a lot worse when mice had physical track balls that also required clawing.

3900th

. I kinda wish enhanced steam numbered all the games so I could go back and work out what was what for each milestone.




Probably took the programmer less than an hour to make.

Just a guessing game, for each level of the tower one of the three red blocks is clickable and you work your way up the tower by making correct guesses. Get one wrong and you have to start again.

Costs $5 and the download size is more than 600mb with 99% made up of every .net distro. Proper curation would have kept this crap off steam.

 

[dex3108]

Cheapest solution for my 400th game would be Deus Ex MD Russian key for 15$ (I can activate CIS region keys on my account, tnx Square I guess XD).

Flat headed screwdriver.

Bought a new book today, '20 Years of Tomb Raider.' Published by Prima Games, and writen by Meagan Marie.

Wow, this looks really interesting. Are there more books like this?

Never thought that, of all Final Fantasy games, FFX would hook me up in the franchise. I had a hard time getting used to the weird ass animations and the out of sync mouths (that I found out that were already an issue in the original version, thought it was a problem with the HD version), but a few hours into it I got really into the story and the relationship between the characters, and already clocked 24 into the game. Also, as straightforward as the combat system is, the sphere grid is pretty awesome and the boss fights are a very nice change of pace, actually requiring for you to think what to do. This game even got me interested in FFXV, which I thought to be an impossible feat, so yeah I'm liking it quite a lot lol.

Spoiler

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck blitzball

I'm glad you enjoy it, but i'm curios why this of all things gets you interested into FFXV. They're pretty much stellar opposites in regards to the gameplay.

 

[Creamium]

Caved and bought Superhot. Feel like a playing a short game and this is probably a good candidate

 

[Nabs]

Pony Island is good. The 3rd core alone was worth the $1.64.

Dark Horse's The Art of _____ books are great. It's a pity Valve quietly backed out of The Art of Portal 2.

I played through YS II earlier this year. Great game with a bit annoying dungeon design. That music track is my favorite in the game.

 

[Megauap]

Talking about Vampire, has anyone played Bloodlust Shadowhunter?
It's supposed to be a very similar game but have not tried it yet.

 

[Uzzy]

Dark Horse and Udon often bring out art books for big new titles, and they usually look really good. Actual retrospectives like the 20 Years of Tomb Raider book are a bit less common, but plenty of those art books often go into great detail about the games development and what have you. Udon's 'Valkyria Chronicles: Design Archives' is probably the best one out there for that mix.

Thanks. You're making me poor you both.
Only books like this i've been posessing so far were the Soulsborne ones, Grimoire Nier*, Drakengard 3's* and Catherine's*.


*All japanese unfortunately.

In addition to PC Gaming Wiki's list, there's also this thread on GOG and this list on SteamWiki. If you need to check a game for yourself, you can of course just kill the client and try to run the game directly from its installation folder. One of three things will happen:

- The game will invoke the Steam client
- The game will begin to load but then crash or otherwise bug out because Steam isn't present
- The game will load just fine

Deus Ex MD has a GOTY already?

Hm, been playing Titan Souls from the bundle, and it's... alright (defeated 6 so far). Expected a little more tbh.
It looks and sounds beautiful, but I think the actual fights are too gimmicky and often frustrating.
Also... it's nice that you respawn near the boss, but still.. 10-15 seconds walkway from respawn point to boss in a game where you die fast and really often is still 10-15 seconds too much.

 

[Large Professor]

That ruined the game more me, especially since you will die a lot and very fast against most bosses. You're spending a lot more time walking to the bosses than fighting them, it makes no sense (in a boss rush game without anything else to do in the overworld). I wish the developer would have cared more about his game post-release. It seems like an easy fix, at least give the players the option to respawn nearer to the bosses.

I never understood how that aspect of Titan Souls made it all the way to release and endured ever after. Some sort of irrational stubbornness on the part of the developer? Their one and only coder quit or died after prototyping the engine? A terminal case of self sabotage?

It'd otherwise be a really neat little game.
