What an odd thing to say. I recall one of the writers of the games responding to criticism by saying the games only seem crappy because only above average VNs get translated and get any recognition.

They are good for the price. I've played some pretty crappy VNs and they are still better than those. Of course they are not going to be Root Double or Steins;Gate quality at $10.

For some reason, they decided to make the
Crossbow
weapon in Bioshock use the same hard-as-fuck-to-see reticule as the pistol. With a mouse, not a problem. With a gamepad and aim assist off, hitting shit can be incredibly difficult.

Also I saw my first blonde little sister.

I'm in a rut over here. Can't decide what to continue playing.

Just today I've bounced from Wolfenstein to Darksiders to Skyrim. I need to pick something a stay a while.

Have prison architect which I wouldn't mind sinking time into but can't seem to hit the play button on. Banner Saga that I got in the humble monthly. Played the opening mission, seemed okish but haven't booted it since. Tried Bioshock Remaster but crashed before I could make it to the light house.

When in doubt, play Dota 2.

Stick with Wolfenstein. Skyrim is boring.

Just wrench everything. Except Big Daddies, where it's acceptable to use your heaviest artillery.

Big Daddies get stuck on the scenery a lot. I remember one couldn't get between a pillar and a wall, and I just stood there and wailed on him with shotgun rounds. The electric buck in particular stun-locks, but then you have to reload...

Beat Slain: Back From Hell (improved version), pretty good. Combat felt good, wasn't much in the way of platforming challenge but the controls were responsive, some great sprite work.

Level design was pretty standard, couple areas could have used an extra checkpoint, and I found it odd that there are three weapon types but they behave the same and only have minor damage buffs that I don't even know apply to what enemies most of the time. But overall I'd recommend it, ran through it in a little over 5 hours and was engaged throughout.

Anything else notable on Steam similar to the early Castlevanias? I have Volgar the Viking but couldn't handle the lack of checkpoints.
 
for idle master, do you have to install all your games? i've tried the glitch, it worked for a bit but now cards ain't dropping. restarting idle master doesn't fix it

Seems like Windows 10 has some major update and now my pc is slower than ever to boot and the UI becomes less responsive.
They even removed the option to opt out auto update. :/
 

Stump, pls.

Check your task manager for any system files accessing either the HDD or cpu way more than they should. My fully updated laptop routinely grinds to a halt with some verson of svchost.exe or superfetch completely out of control.

They should really just pay that one fan translation team and put the VN out officially, considering how big the series is and how successful the recent show was- seems crazy to me how little interest they seem to have in taking advantage of their fans outside of Japan.

Let me tell you about Japanese doujin devs and their weird views regarding releases outside of Japan....
Still salty ZUN actually prohibited officially translating his games and doesn't want to see Touhou on Steam
 
Hope you have an awesome day. ;P

Also, glad to see the comic I drew got some mileage.

Ahhh, great work and thanks!

Still have to work, but then going out to my favorite bar for buffalo wings and beer afterwards, then board game night Friday! :D

Happy Birthday!!! Hope you have a great time!

And, thanks for Portal 2, dunno why I've missed it for so long lol.

Thanks, enjoy and have fun!
 
Happy Birthday Ranger!

The eternal battle of turn based vs real time with pause continues on.

I just finished Pillars of Eternity last week and in addition to thinking it would have been better if the story didn't fall off after leaving Dyrwood I wish it had been turn based instead. Still enjoyed it even if I was a bit disappointed for an Obsidian game and thought The White March expansion was the most enjoyable part,
even with the bullshit strong crazy people who'd lost their minds in the hidden Temple of Ondra.
I liked Pillars most when I the story had to do with the lore of the world and wasn't about
Thaos
and being a watcher.

Agree about how great SOMA. It's one of my favorites from last year though I found it less horror than I expected and a much better sci-fi story than I thought it'd be.
