HDR is objectively better than sRGB/Rec.709 so I'm looking forward to when it becomes standard in every display for an affordable price, but I don't think it's something to get completely crazy over.

I didnt say its cool, but having experienced it on my HDR TV I wouldnt say its "The next best thing ever" that SonyGAF tries to hype it up to, just because "their" console now supports it.
I mean 4k was useless to "them" before the PS4Pro announcement...

I'm missing Dungeon Keeper 2 for some unknown reason....
Hey SteamGAF.
I was looking at the Steam front page for the first time in a while, and I saw in the Popular New Releases that there's a new DoDonPachi game out. I thought that was awesome, since I liked that game a lot back in my more... shall we say emulation-focused days. Then I clicked on it and, uh...
Is there somebody who can tell me why all the screenshots have anime girls in them now? I just... don't remember that game for anything like that. Did I miss something?
This hasn't turned into one of those games where I like get a high score and get "rewarded" with some ridiculous character art, is it?

Each Dodonpachi after the first one added progressively more anime characters, yes. In this one, at the end of each level you fight a giant robot girl who transforms into a fighter ship.
It really doesn't matter for this one, though. Don't look up how much further they took it with Dodonpachi Saidaioujou.

Dunno about rewards but far as I know Cave's games have always had those anime girls in them since the 360 era.
FYI the game you're seeing is DoDonPachi Resurrection which is the 5th game in the DonPachi series, the one you're talking about is
FYI this game comes with an Easy mode so it plays closer to traditional shumps with the Normal and higher difficulties being a bullet hell.
While I am curious, I don't care enough about my account to check. I uninstalled Origin after buying The Saboteur on GOG.
If anyone's interested, seems like Shantae: Half-genie Hero was delayed yet again, now to 12/13. Gamestop updated the release date, but there's no confirmation yet so take it with a grain of salt.

I'm curious about whether it's a glitch or some kind of forced delisting, but given that I've never bought a game on Origin (and don't plan on starting) it thankfully doesn't apply to me.
Given that EA can do something like this, it's one more reason for me to stay away from Origin.

Considering the games disappearing are different for people I would think its a glitch.
Mine is like a bunch of Humble Bundle games, Syndicate+Saboteur combo for 5$ when it was on a Amazon deal and Battlefield 3 for 5$

A Shantae game getting delayed? Never!

Only game I payed for was Dragon Age inquisition which I got through Mexico
It's probably not quite what people expected in terms of content. I beat it in co-op and it's a rather short and linear experience with a very limited variety in hazards. Also, I don't really see any rogue-like elements.
I haven't followed the game for very long but apparently it has been delayed multiple times? Tbh, it could've used much more work or should've been released in Early Access.
I just wanna say that the Polish press kit for Shadow Warrior 2 is amazing.

Just checked my Origin account. Not missing any games.
Edit: I feel like this is a ruse to get people to log into their Origin accounts.

Well, Kaby Lake is coming out soon, there will be discounts for Skylake CPUs and 1151 MB (even though Kaby Lake would be another small jump and Skylake MBs are compatible with Kaby Lake).
Sorry for the late response, I hit he bed early.
Fans, MB (put the RAM and cooler backplate in first) and PSU go in the case. Then you start all the wiring, SATA cables, 24 pin and 8 pin power cables for the MB, power cables for your drives, fan cables, the I/O (USB, audio jacks) and control (power, reset, and LED lights) for your front panel. Connect CPU fan to MB before you lower the heatsink, I suggest using screwdriver to help put the fan(s) on, it's guaranteed you won't be able to reach the fan clip with your fingers once the heatsink is seated. GPU goes last, your drives whenever.

Mafia 3 would have had a metascore 20 points higher than where it landed if they had cut out about 10 hours of repetition (in the 30 hour game). The actual story missions are quite fun to play and it's a shame they locked them behind so much bullshit padding.

But Dragon Age: Inquisition scored 85!
i'd argue the same thing for every open world game in recent memory
witcha 3 was a much better game when i wasn't doing any of the open world stuff

Yeah, but Mafia 3 is WAY worse. They force you to do the exact same kind of thing over and over again before you can unlock the next story mission. The Witcher 3 never forced people to do side quests for example.

And won multiple GOTYs. As did Shadow of Mordor. Even with all it's technical faults and lack of polish, I'd still say Mafia 3 is a better game than either of those two.
Mafia 3 has one of the best gunplays I've seen in a open world game. Lincoln reacts fast to your inputs (worst part of GTA IV was how slow Niko reacted to inputs because of animation priority, dunno how it's on GTA V) and enemies react to where you shot them.
I really liked the game, but it needed a few months of polish and better sidequest design, because the main story missions are great.

Yeah, the gunplay, story, characters (even minor side characters get good moments) and game world deserve better missions and fewer glitches/performances issues.

that tyranny header looks sick
Really excited for this.
Even the usual "annoying best friend" character is great. Seriously Donovan is the best new character I've seen this year.
Ending spoilers:
That scene during the credits where he kills that senator because he think he has to do with Kennedy's assassination is fantastic and they should do an expansion about his hunt against the other conspirators
i feel like "but u can skip it!" is not really a point for any game tho
while i wouldn't say fallout new vegas is completely devoid of filler, the ratio seems more like 80% real content - 20% filler
witcha 3 felt like the opposite

I had totally forgotten that MegaSphere was on Early Access
For some reason, that game kinda looks trippy to me?
But like when I was child and I was playing the old Sega Genesis platformers or whatever I kinda wondered like what those developers were on to get the idea that they got across.
Your idea of trippy maybe different then mine

The thing is that in Mafia 3's case you can't skip it. I used TW3 as a comparison because if you felt that it had too much filler you could always skip it and there would be enough story content to keep you satisfied anyway (I felt that most of the open world stuff was miles better than the usual fluff, but I can see why others could have a different opinion) In Mafia 3 you HAVE to do all the boring and repetitive stuff because the story missions are locked behind that.

This is finding fault for the sake of it. Some people will play the side missions to get more immersed in the world. Some people might enjoy monster hunting, because that's what witchers do. Some might like treasure hunting to find rare weapons and armor. If you like none of this stuff then you can easily ignore it without harming the experience of the main story. It's kind of silly to complain about the existence of entirely optional content.

I hope they bring all the Pachi games out to STEAM. Even the weird Capcom/IGS one. DoDonPachi II.

Planning on selling the Link, the USB, and the Controller Backplate.
yeah that does sound shitty
i mean, idk, having a billion question marks that could either be a chest full of trash or a super awesome hidden side quest is pretty sucky since you can't tell which one it is until you've walked to that question mark
i just don't think that's respecting my limited time, i much prefered witcha 2 that was a lot more focused
with witcha 3 i skipped a bunch of the side content and i did feel my experience was harmed, i felt like there were a bunch of cool missions i missed and i felt my ocd super triggered because there's a billion unchecked question marks on the map
it's lame, filler content is lame, i don't see how filler content can be defended no matter how skippable it is
