On my phone at the monment but what is quickest way at to check upcoming by releases on the new store interface for Steam?

Scroll to the bottom of the Upcoming Releases tab and click the "Upcoming releases" button. You can (finally) change the order to ascending by switching sort_by=Released_DESC in the URL with sort_by=Released_ASC.

does new DLC/expansions usually get added to the store (store page) on release day?

They get store pages whenever publishers feel like putting them up. Company of Heroes 2's upcoming expansion got a store page a week-and-a-half ago and it's not out for another few weeks, for example.
 
If you loved The Witcher 1, give your time to The Witcher 2 right now.

If you loved the world of TW1, TW2 delves a lot more into politics, conflicts and different factions.
If you loved the characters, TW2 introduces some really great characters. Geralt's friends are also returning of course.

The prologue is a bit of a slog, but Act 1 is very good overall, Act 2 is awesome (both paths) and Act 3 is a lot stronger now with the added quests. The epilogue is awesome as well.

The combat is the weakest part of the game.

The combat has been the weakest since TW1, hasn't it? Some people say to just play it on the easiest difficulty and go through it for the story!

I hope Pokemon Omega Ruby will be available on Nintendo eShop. I have $30 in credits I can use.
There's no reason why it shouldn't. X and Y were, why would the new remakes not be there?

can we have a groundhog's day sale?

I envision it as 8 daily deals that refresh throughout the day..

all of them are Alan Wake
Isn't this what GMG does? 2K sale, every sale, every day.

I remember someone brought this up already, but jesus christ, nice work these modders are doing with remastering Resident Evil 4's "HD" edition:

Glad I waited out on buying the "HD" version at release.
Will buy it when it drops to € 9.99 or less and then wait for this mod to be complete: they are at 30% completion so far...
 
^^ And I remember how a lot of the people in that thread were down on the guy, how this is pointless etc

These comments are cringe worthy, I remember posting about someone working on a FFVII demake and wanted to do at least the first mission being playable. Of course part of the replies were how those people keep using other companies ip's instead creating their own, or why he didn't create his own game, or how pointless it was, etc. But what they don't understand is the guy was doing it as a hobby, it doesn't need to have a point so let them have fun.
 
DragonAge : Inq comes out soon, guess I better head over the Origin thread now...

Oh man I dun goofed my maths paper. Idk if i can even go to college now. Might have to retain at high school :/

I blame CSGO and TTT

blame Yoga

See you in 2 weeks steamgaf.

stay safe SteamBro

Roche is a self absorbed asshole who never takes responsibility for the consequences of his actions. There is a scene between him and Geralt where he claims that they both know who is being a prick, the implication being Geralt; but it's Roche who is the prick. Every time you question who is being the prick, it is Roche. Between the two possible "bros", Lorveth is the better "bro".

Is it me, or in those comparison screenshots HD looks exactly like original?

Yes, they did an awful job.

An explanation from the modders' website http://www.re4hd.com/ :

The majority of the textures in the game have not been redone. Instead they have been resized to be twice as large as the original textures, and a filter has been applied to smooth the the image. I’m sure this is due to budget and time constraints, which I think are understandable.

The game is too easy even on Dark mode. I only used 4 talent points beyond the required 6 in the basic skills talent tree. I am currently storing 15 more to artificially introduce some challenge into the game. Even on Dark difficulty setting, there is only one encounter that is truly difficult and that is in an optional portion of the prologue.

I broed with Iorveth too, mostly because I played both Witchers like a medieval SJW, but also as a firm stance against big pharma.

Well if you want another reason, Geralt isn't considered human by his fellow man so siding with Lorveth can be considered an action in his own self interest. Especially since there is a bounty on his head for regicide.

Big pharma?

Iorveth is a loveable asshole.

Doesn't seem like there's a lot of hype for it? Which is surprising, considering it's Bioware.

They've been slowly showing more and more. At this point it seems even you're hyped or you aren't. I don't think there will be much convincing at this point.

I'm cautiously optimistic, so far everything they've showed has been great.

or alternatively everybody that sees difference could negate placebo by really seeing that there is no difference (><)

The difference is pretty big actually.
I remember when a friend of mine got glasses and was surprised that you can actually make out individual blades of grass from a distance. He always thought it was normal to just see a green blur.

Anyway, I'd go and see an optometrist.

Out There Somewhere is a fantastic little puzzle-platformer. It's short, has cute characters, fun mechanics and good and challenging achievements. Good music as well.
 
I'm in a bit of a gaming slump and I really wanted something that could just grab me and not let go.

I tried State of Decay because the mechanics look interesting. The presentation, though, is pretty stiff. The gameplay became boring after the 5th zombie I killed and the story is flat out ghastly. "...Those people... are zombies!?" (Spoken with such surprise and dismay. Dude, we just looted multiple buildings, bashing heads along the way, then plowed through mobs of them with a truck. You're fine when you thought they were human but are blindsided when they could be the undead?)

So, State of Decay was out. Snoozed too hard too fast. Tried Darksiders 2 next. I loved the original and thought it was a flawed but good attempt at capturing the almighty Zelda gameplay. The loot system in this one is as dumb as everyone says, but that's nowhere near as bad as the worst part: how loose the dungeons play. It's just muddy. The concise layout, doubling back and puzzle system of the dungeons in Zelda games is what makes it. Faking this half-open, half-not style made it all seem like endless blah that I couldn't bring myself to continue.

And then I fired up Kentucky Route Zero, which I was going to wait on. And, wow. Wow.

Nvidia is still silent about ACU/FC4 bundles and it is two weeks before ACU launch. So there are no cheap UPlay codes for now.

that's funny, yes, in a sad way

you should know that most people don't wear glasses for PC, especially for reading, as you are so readily giving advices!
Because you know... you can enlarge things on PC to your hearts desire, just reminding

I rarely wear glasses inside, outside of watching a movie while sitting back. Everything looks under saturated and low definition in my bedroom. Even has the mono static coming from my 20-year old Sony Trinitron.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel about this.

Why is it Tetris? Why?[/QUOTE]
