Wow, uh, i'm a little scared to speak my mind on that, but uh, a permaban for that on Tenumi? Yeah...

Back on-topic, pretty pumped to have a reason to finish Typing of the Dead: Overkill since it has Playfire Rewards this week

This isn't a post-ocracy and you don't get anywhere arguing with the post-tator.

I was thinking about installing it today. Is it scary? I can't handle scary games. ;w;
it's a bit scary, yeah. lots of dark corridors and creepy girl popping out of nowhere and lights suddenly turning out and lots of blood and all that

not the scariest and it's a pretty blatant style of horror but yea, it's a scary game, even tho it's not necessarily super tense

it's really fun tho

Only Fear I don't have is 3 and somehow I doubt it's worth £5.89,

Fear 1 is a heavily underrated FPS, still one of the best shooters mechanically to this day.
the 20 minutes i gave it on singleplayer really didn't do anything for me coming from someone that loved fear 1

difficulty seemed too hard in an annoying way for singleplayer too, but that might be me just being bad. like it felt like it didn't scale down from coop number of enemies

Seems like State of Decay and Ultra Street Fighter IV too. Fable Anniversary has new region locked package too, but doesn't seem to be in use.

Fable probably will get locked on release. Is this the beginning of the end of russian trading? Is valve rigorously pushing region locking on publishers/devs?

So was this discussed already? Dead rising 3 just got region locked, buy ANY copies you can find leftover on dispenser if you are interested in reselling.

damn, damn, damn, damn ... what the hell is going on? :/ I really hope this doesn't mean that all future Capcpom games will be region-locked from the get-go :/ daaaaaamn

I REALLY want to believe that those are just isolated cases ... but ... something tells me they're not ;(

I wouldn't be surprised if this was Putin's work. Further retaliation for US/EU sanctions.

When I originally played it I found it kind of scary. This was when I was pretty young though.
Iirc the only truly scary parts are a few jump scares here and there. The enemies were mostly military looking dudes.
 
I really hope games stay unlocked but at the same time I feel like this has been a crazy fantasy world for a while that had to end eventually. South Park for 20, Dead Rising 3 for 17, LotR for 22, etc. Crazy discounts.

our 1st 3 days of preorder sales have been mind blowing.. i cant talk numbers but i can say that we sold more than triple what Dead Rising 3 sold on their launch day.. and that is astounding. so extra thanks go out to all the fans that have supported Rebirth! we are pushing a few extras in just for you guys!

So if Microsoft buys Mojang we might finally see Minecraft on Steam.

Given how little Microsoft care about PC gaming, I doubt it.

As an aside, $2 Billion? Just how many new IPs and studios could Microsoft fund with that amount. Goddamn it.

Mojang buyout gets a "neat" from me.
Doesn't seem like a big enough deal to me. Though only have one game under their belt albeit a large one.

Damn, NeoGAFShitPosts is calling it quits. We're all safe to post terrible things without fear of public humiliation!

Just spotted this as well. I can kind of see where he is coming from I guess. It's a shame because that feed was pretty entertaining.

Microsoft paying $2B for Mojang seems a lot, but Minecraft really seems like it could just continue making money for a long time. I wonder how future PC development would go though.

Yeah. I don't know what the legalities of this would be, but if they could pull it from other platforms, and make it a Bone exclusive... I can see that definitely helping their system sales.

I doubt they'd pull it from other platforms, as they can keep getting income from those, but I'd imagine that updates would quickly dry up.

I can easily see a Minecraft 2 being Xbone and Windows 9 exclusive though.

Its a smart buy on Mircosoft's end to purchase it.


The only thing that would be nice for minecraft on steam is workshop support.

SEPARATE RAFFLE! These are what I accidentally double-bought. Ironically, Gone Home would be bundled just, like, two days after...

ANYWAYS! These should work!

Microsoft buying any studio is horrible news for the studios and everyone who likes games from those studios.

There was also this. https://twitter.com/notch/status/251239807257296897

While I wouldn't care about what I said two years (or two minutes) ago for $2b I always figured that they have all the money they need anyway.

2 years is a long time

Maybe Persson is sick of Minecraft. But if I were MS I would make sure he stays on board for a while.

Halo wouldn't have been what it was unless Microsoft had bought it, although that was over a decade ago.

Maybe wait to see what happens before passing judgment?

2 billion bucks could be very persuading.

I just went to buy yesterday's Humble Flash Bundle and I can't find it. Turns out it only lasted for one day. I hope I hadn't been lazy and bought it last night, but whatever. Not like I was going to play those games anyway.

I'm pretty sure it was harder than 2, which always felt like it was really gimped for consoles :/

So enemies being tougher really made me enjoy it more than 2.

FEAR 1 is still the best.

Most flash bundles are one day only. I think the PAX bundle has been the only exception.

Thanks to this thread I just remembered that I need to pick up Isaac Rebirth.

I've put in 200 hours, think I'm ready to do it again.

I put in a obscene 450+ hours myself. I love that game. Hopefully Rebirth is just as good. Only wish Danny B was doing the soundtrack ><

Yo lethal league is pretty fun, and definitely plan on playing it more. Just tried it out before I had to catch up on some stuff.

I just got all the achievments in Skyrim, yay! I've had all but one for a long time; that Legendary Dragon one is hard to get.

My game is running at about 10 frames per second due to the amount of mods I'm running. I should probably figure out which ones are making it so slow!

Glorious PC gaming!


lol jk; his texture forgot to load for a while there
