I see the witcher 3 expansion is on sale I wonder if its better to buy both expansions seperately or buy the season pass

I put continuing Witcher 3 on the backburner so I could get into some Metal Gear goodness for a change of palette, and then the release date for the Shovel Knight update (nearly a remake) pops up with less than 10 days to wait, while I haven't even dipped into the Devolver bundle I recently bought that contained two games I was actively anticipating.
Modern gaming is such bullshit.

Yeah, I can go up to High+Hairworks with no drops with 1080p30.
But no matter how much I cut, I can't seem to get a steady 60 fps. Drops to 40-50 and unplayable frametime.
Must be my i3. Thinking whether to wait for i7 upgrade (half a year or so of saving) for that 1080p60 or just go with what I have now... :\

dont get me wrong, i love RPGs too! I finished Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, Dragon Quest V, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Fallout: New Vegas, and Diablo 3 this year and still have the Witcher 3 and FFT0 ready to go for 2015. It's just that i enjoy a breather between long games. So when i play through a +20 hour RPG, i can't jump back into another RPG. I need a palette cleanser between long games and also from genres, too. So if i finished a 2d platformer chances are i'll give an FPS a go next, then maybe a RPG followed by a 3d platformer or something else.
variety is the spice of life after all

When in doubt the answer is always twitch.tv/alienware.

I'm down.
yeah i'm thinking the same, it's like 9$ for the first expansion, so the second one has to be ilke 20 at least rite?
Looks interesting.
Argh, what did I tell all of you? When it comes to Ronin, the best way I can describe my feelings towards it are "conflicted". One minute, I love it, the next minute it's annoying the hell out of me. So after my whole writeup on how bullshit the last level was, it dawns on me how I'm "supposed" to be finishing it, and I start to feel more like Bulldog from "Frasier".
"This level stinks! This is total BS! ... Oh, never mind, I just beat it twice in ten minutes"
I was absolutely banging my head against that last level for the longest time until it dawned on me that (major "strategy for last level" spoilers)
I had the same issue on the last level of the fourth chapter. I was getting more and more frustrated at how annoying the fight layout was in that level, until it dawned on me what I was "supposed" to do, and it ended up being fairly simple after that. I honestly can't even say that it was the game's fault, it was simply a matter of really surveying the surroundings and realizing that attacking the fight straight-on was unreasonably harder than anything else that came before.
So while my issues with glitches and unreliable civilian behavior remain, I now change my opinion from "Regretfully avoid" to "Really recommend, but watch for slight annoyances".
Now, on to New Game Plus, so begin the countdown to another "This is total BS" moment...

there's absolutely no point in killing all the enemies, and it's better to just ignore everybody as much as possible and leap straight to the boss.

Were they giving it in the stream? I must've missed it.
Season Pass is supposed to be better. (But you never know.)
It would be bad PR to make it cheaper, so second one is probably ~20 instead of 2x15, so SP buyers get their discount.
It supposed to be twice as long so this makes sense too.
Uh, I've never cared for it, but at some point I guess I'll have to get back on track with this kind of stuff, if it means getting games I wouldn't buy but at the same time I wouldn't mind having in my library for my granchildren to play.
tonight.
you'd think that but then like 3 months after the last dlc of dks2 they make a new dks2 that is cheaper than base game+season pass preorders+upgrade so i dunno lol
2 > worth it > 0

It always is.
I think at this point in time, it's best to assume anything to do with MGSV contains spoilers.

I think I've never seen a game that is more impossible to 100% than Fairy Fencer and I have seen some very nasty things in my life. Not talking only about achievements, although even if I bought dlcs to make some of them easier, there is no way in hell I can make it to 100% but ingame challenges are even more insane (no achievements for those, though).
Why IF, why you wanna torture us so? Someone really hates completionists there, that's only explanation.
kinda want, but... I still have to play Galaxy on Fire 2 HD normally.

Cuphead and Mugman are rad but the Sunset Overdrive dude just looks like a regular THPS character

Yeah it seems like Acti went to MS and asked "Hey can we used your characters for THPS?" when they said no seeing how they would be used, they just went for exclusive X1 games that the companies still fully own. So for Sunset Overdrive they could just ask insomniac to use it, and for cuphead they could just ask toothless. Sure there's some MS mumbo jumbo in there still, but you know what I mean.

Sunset Overdrive is the name of the game, not the character Activision.

yet another new bundle site, giving away mostly non-steam games:
8-Bit Commando, Woodle Tree Adventures (steam keys)
Loving Life, Mind Dead, Pedra!, Shots In The Dark, Space Ranger ASK (IndieGameStand)
Rhythm Shooter (Itch.IO)
I wouldn't count on others giving steam keys when greenlit, but who knows.

So there aren't actually levels just boss battles?
It's not though, that's just what they show at conventions.
it will be featured on the Alienware Twitch stream tonight

Pretty sure it was said that it was just bosses. Why wouldn't they let the press play at least one full level, but a lot of bosses?

I did that a month or two ago, back when Stump was clearing out Modbot's pipes. Made me feel more complete.

The command and conquer collection even if on origin, is a damn steal at 5 bucks.
Just Do It Up still gets me pumped up to this day for anything, I usually throw it on when folding laundry & cleaning.
Damn I miss westwood RTS, there hasn't been anything to scratch that itch.
