capcom has been stingy lately, I dont remember the last time RE6 was 75% for example, so xmas sale might not be much better. its weird that 5 is only 50% too
Yeah i thought that was weird too. Both DMC 3 and 4 are 75% off.
Do you want to play them now? If not, you should wait. I'm still waiting for that Gold announcement for Resi 5 before I buy.
They probably won't discount 5 deeper before it gets de-GFWLed, and then not for a while after that.

Man.. the consequences thing is exactly what the previous games alluded to, and a perfect thing to add. I'm very glad that Dreamfall Chapters is more than a nostalgia trip.
I may break my standard rule of "don't buy episodic games until finished" rule for this magnificent beast of a game.

Again, I don't think so.
Part of that depends on how much you want that "next iteration of whatever classic we struck gold on last time" software. Super Mario Bros. 739. Mario Kart 93. Pokemon 139.
The other part depends on how okay you are with the infrastructure they have surrounding their hardware and software (technically software aspects, such as DRM and the like). And that shit? Abso-fucking-lutely unacceptable.
Nintendo has this problem where they want to appeal to wider audiences and still retain the core gamers (hence trying to come out of the gate big with BLOPS 2 and a bunch of 3rd party ports to the system (Arkham City, Mass Effect, whatever as well as trying to get things like the Bayonetta sequel off the ground and convincing ubisoft to do ZombiU or whatever). However, at the same point, they ignore what that hardcore crowd wants from the platform on a basic level and then end up regretting it and giving in down the line when even the basic owners start complaining or looking for it. See: 480p vs HD.
Greeeat. If I'd know that a week ago, I wouldn't have bought it for Vita. Fuck me.
No, differences when comparing NGB and NGS.
I remember enjoying The Longest Journey in the late 90s, but never got around to Dreamfall(PC was weak). Should get around to that when GoG has a sale, before Chapters.

Definitely play them in order if you can. I suspect it will make the whole, ahem, journey a lot more fulfilling.
I imagine Dreamfall will be on sale during Christmas. So, that'll be your time to strike.
The one on Steam isn't gold? that is disappointing! Come on Capcom.
I'll tell you what though. I bought the Wolf Among Us just before the 5th episode came out. Played through all 4 episodes and then the 5th released the next day. It certainly does beat waiting around 2-3 week for an episode.

so I guess I should pick up Transistor now, right?

Not really. It can wait.
Why would it be?
Capcom has a nasty habit of neglecting the DLC produced for a game when it comes to PC ports.
LurkerPrime

Agreed.
Hopefully the release schedule for Dreamfall Chapters isn't the same sort of mess that TWAU's was. The latter took almost a year to complete, instead of the usual six or so months. Real bummer for early adopters.
Skip it. There are better games.

agreed, might try to do that
Nice, I think I'm going to play some Dreamfall Chapters now. Even though I got past the first crash with a few tries, I figured I'd wait at least for the first patch to actually get started.
Also, still couple more things left in the giveaway over here.

My key supplier is afk or something. Transistor might as well be fourty keys.

It can only get cheaper, and if you've waited this long, may as well just wait until the winter sale, it will certainly be just as cheap and possibly even lower.
Honestly, negative reviews need to be much more detailed to actually be helpful. If you can't convey in great detail specifically why your taste for a game should be taken seriously by the rest of the world, you're not providing useful information. And a lot of negative reviews focus on technical aspects that may not even apply to everyone. I'm not saying that's true of any of your reviews, I have no idea. I just know it's not really worth the effort to write a negative review unless you can do it really well.

Man I don't even know why I write negative reviews.
Sucks feeling so "unhelpful".

It seems to really depend on the game. If it's popular, you'll get downvoted to oblivion. There are people out there who do prefer honest breakdowns of games, even if the overall message is a negative one!

Valve made a small change to Steam Reviews and made the posted date more visible by changing it color and position on the review.
Eh, helps to have a variety of opinions. I like to read negative reviews. Though it is annoying when I write a positive (thumbs up) review, but write a few things about the game I didn't love as much and then be told in the comments that there was something about the game I clearly didn't grasp or something. I recommended the darn game ;;

How is it being unhelpful? At least for me it's a counterpoint to a positive review, and I find reading a positive and a negative reviews a useful way to try to make my mind about buying a game.
But aren't the most "helpful" reviews usually just joke reviews? Just write whatever you want.

One thing I love about Divinity is, after a trap is discovered, teammate AIs would automatically avoid it.
I think negative reviews are just as helpful. Honest opinions with reasoning why you disliked it are great.
Never noticed that. Learn something new everyday

The former is a shallow imitation of the latter with weaker art and less content.
No contest.
