Is a Batman Oranges Complete Edition still planned? From the games that are on sale I'd take BO, Typing of the Dead, and the Portal Bundle. Brothers A Tale of Two Sons is on sale at Gamersgate(not to be confused with that other thing) for 3 and change -- looking forward to playing it sometime.

Are the fans making strange sounds now?
What GPU are you using?

That won't soon be a problem at all, when the Unity version will replace the current version of Two Brothers and be renamed to Chromophore.

Wow, I really can't disagree more. There is absolutely no way to write a story that will appeal to all people. Case in point, there are plenty of classics of literature that many have no interest in reading.
You are talking about a problem that has existed in games for decades -- 'what do I do next'? In some games, like old Infocom games like Zork, solving that essential issue is practically the game itself. You're talking to someone that has notebooks full of hand mapped dungeons.
But we don't need every game to care about that. Not every game needs to be about problem solving, exploration, or intense 'must watch/listen' dialog. There is room for games that just need to get you from one zone to the next zone, and often the best way to do that is have Joe NPC lead you there. That's not 'weak design'. In fact, it's solid design if your goal is to ensure the player isn't lost, and for some games, that's a huge positive. You don't like that? That's fine.
The game I'm playing now is Shadows of Mordor. It's a great example, because some missions have Joe NPC talking to you as they walk towards the next key zone. If you move too far away, they stop talking. If you stay close, you autowalk. It's smooth, and it works.
There is absolutely no way to write dialog so good that you guarantee 100% of players listen. Heck, I play with the sound muted sometimes, because I don't give a fruit fly. You also can not simply have the NPC walk there on their own and not leave a marker, because if you did, you'd leave the player in a sea of desert with no idea where to go. That would be weak, terrible design. So would simply doing a cutscene and teleport, like in the old days.
As much as you may hate the 'locked door'/'walk' mechanic, it's there in some games for a very good reason. I'm more than happy to map out my own way in Legend of Grimrock, a game designed around the concept of exploration/discovery. I do not want that in my hack and slash, I do not want that in my cinematic action game, etc.
I realize some games overdo the 'arrow to next quest'. I'm not even sure why you brought that up, since it's not really what we're discussing. But some games overdoing something doesn't mean the core design concept isn't rock solid.

Apply the 60 FPS fix which can be found in the game's Community Guides page on Steam.
morning peeps
hour and half until I start my 24hr Extra Life stream so if you wanna watch me
play a bunch of random games you can watch the stream here and you can donate to extra life here, and feel good about yourself
As I said before, if I reach $200 in donations I will raffle off a copy of Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor, with a copy of Civ Beyond Earth already ready to be raffled for reaching $100. In the off chance I get to $300, Ill think of something
but for now, getting to that Mordor tier would be cool, since it is afterall, for charity.
and now I need coffee and food methinks

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
It's a pretty standard action game. Not really up there with your big names, but fairly solid. Your main draw is mostly going to be the art style and whether or not Suda51's surreal sensibilities appeal to you.
Lynn and the Spirits of Inao looks good.
On greenlight.

I hope so. They won't fix the netcode, but getting it away from GFWL will get me back to playing it.

Interesting if true, though I thought that RE5 and the Dead Rising games were the only ones Capcom said they were removing GFWL from.
Hey guys,
I've posted this on the sell/trade thread and someone there recommended I did here as well. I'm looking to sell this guy:
For $45 USD as a Paypal gift or buyer pays fees. I am not a regular Gaf seller, but can provide evidence of good ebay feedback if you like.
PM me if interested.

The problem here is that there is no incentive to even try when you know you can force 100% of players to listen to any garbage you write in the name of a narrative. Maybe the designers can recognize that there will be players who actually don't care about their precious words and allow those players to be able to play and enjoy the game anyway.
It's a discussion about player agency in general. About not being able to open a door because the game doesn't want you to. About being forced to look exactly where the designers want you at the moment they want you to. About being led through the entire game like a dog on a leash instead of actually playing the game. That games should aspire to be more than ticking off objectives on a checklist presented to you one by one as you follow a sparkling trail on the screen. And recognizing that as popular as they may have become, games that are trying so hard to be
There is a B/S/T thread for a reason. Please stick to it.

Morning everyone, hope everyone can have a good weekend and hopefully some rest. Decided to look at some streams from people playing Beyond Earth and the game is looking pretty nice if only for the theme which seems to be the most grabbing point to me.
Also, just for curiosity sake, when I went to check those streams it now seems that everyone have the same brand of chair, what going on with this? I searched them and they are called Dxracer, they don't even seem really good and they are not the most pretty either. Price is not neat, also.
Need more time to jump back to Wasteland 2 and others but I've been lacking some free time. Little off-topic, but I managed yesterday to organize and now have two big bags full of clothes that I will be donating for people with less luck and it feels great!

dammit, my old synchmaster (6 years old + - bought when 16:10 and 1900x1200 was hot shit lol) has started randomly dropping significantly in brightness. It goes really dark, then bright, then dark etc.
Is it dying on me? :'-(

Not sure if its a capacitor problem.
Is that with your PC?
Can you test it would with a console?
Perhaps you turned on dynamic contrast?
