You should play Titan Quest which is a much better arpg.

Ah yeah I did play it way back at release and tried the new version but it bugs out on my computer so will wait before going back to it.

The games are pretty resource intensive, long load times, high quality elements. You might need to kick the graphics and resolution down a bit.
It pretty much takes all the elements from the second game, spreads them across all three, and joins all the stories together as one.

It was bundled before, I think it will be bundled again in the near future.
Anyone got any impressions for this? I can get it for $7.50 off HB with my 10% discount.
So wait is playing Final Cut like taking all the elements from the 3 games and making it one singular story or some such?

Alright thanks then will play Final Cut.
We are the Dwarves is alright. It is hilariously poorly translated with terrible voice acting, and it takes way too long to get the titular dwarves together into a squad, instead featuring nearly half the levels as solo or two members that feels more like trial and error puzzles than tactical combat.
That being said, it has some cool ideas. Momentum and push /pull mechanics feature a lot, allowing you to send many enemies to their doom after flinging them off a ledge. Also the world of the game is intriguing in a "that's so weird" way. It is also brutally hard at times.
Also if you're a rare achievement hunter, literally all of my rare achievements on my Steam profile are for that game, so there's that.
I would recommend Aarklash Legacy in its place, which has some similar ideas but they are far more fleshed out (and the game is underrated as hell). A lot of Euro devs (dwarves devs are Russian I believe) are in love with this idea of making like single player squad based RPGish MOBAs that I feel like someone is going to nail it soon and make a classic, as it's an idea that should work, but it's just not there yet.
So yes, I would wait for a bundle (I received it for review), but fire it up when you get it, as it is at least a little more interesting than the average bundle fodder.

Related to that question, it should be a bannable offense to post a screencap without naming the game.

Edit: Beaten by three people.
Played a bunch of God Eater Resurrection and Mystery Chronicles: One Way Heroics recently. Really good games to just boot up, play for an hour and carry on with other stuff.

Just finished Unravel. Im suprised. I found it to be really, really good. Even though the character (Yarny) didn't talk or anything, I really loved Yarny. Great music, stunning visuals, very well designed, good puzzles (not very difficulty) and good use of physics. Great game overall, happy I bought it.
Origin says I used 12 hours, but I accidentally had the game open a few hours yesterday without knowing so I guess I used like 6-7 hours.
Highly recommended.

I remember at the end of the MDK one, John said he was busy with an event this week, so there wouldn't be one
I'm actually watching that episode right now.

So I finally decided to play through Shadowrun Dragonfall this week, a good four and a half years after Kickstarting it and two years after it's release. I thought the game was really good (no surprises there). The best thing about the game is the writing. The main plot is fairly straightforward but there is a ton of detail and depth in the writing that you discover as you play through the game. They build the atmosphere really well and you feel like you're reading an actual cyberpunk mystery novel. Also notable are NPC stories which are quite interesting/heartbreaking.
The next best thing is how they manage to extract so much depth in their gameplay systems with the limitations they are working with. The game has small isometric maps with limited interactivity but the developers make it count and give you several ways to deal with any situation. There are missions where you can fight from start to finish or you can talk your way through them entirely if you have enough Charisma and the right Etiquettes. This also means that your build matters a lot and you cannot expect to be able to do everything in a single playthrough. You can't significantly change how the story plays out but you can definitely approach almost every situation in multiple ways.
In the end it's a really good, atmospheric CRPG that lasts about 20 hours or so. Highly recommended if you like the cyberpunk setting and RPGs where your choices matter.
I remember the game came out in 2014 and a lot of people talked about it as their GOTY. I picked Divinity Original Sin as my GOTY that year and I still think Divinity is a better game overall. While Shadowrun definitely has better writing, Divinity is much more fun to play through, especially with the combat systems, but also because it feels like there's more exploration and thought required to get through it. Both fantastic games though. Also, I'm thoroughly amused that Dragonfall, which was a stretch goal addon of a fairly modest Kickstarter, ended up being a far better game than Dragon Age Inquisition which probably had a budget 50-100 times higher and also released at the same time.

I've never been able to get the glitch to work.
I was sitting on 2300 cards and now down to 40. Even with the glitch it took some time.

I used the glitch and I am still sitting on cards thanks to the Steam market restrictions.
This is at least 80 €.

I try to stay on top of cards, if i'm not playing on PC I have it just idling.
Chilling out on buying bundles has helped a lot.

I haven't bought a bundle in a damn long time. Have no idea why. I think I simply just don't care.
I neither buy games at all very often these days.

So what do you do instead?
On a sidenote, Animated Puzzles was updated. It is the best jigsaw game. It is in early access and the devs listen to our feedback. Leaderboards. Workshop support planned. This is today's update:

Yeah. Did you start playing Dota2?
I don't play MOBAs. Tried DOTA 2 and a few others a few times, but it's not a genre I enjoy. Like I read about Battlerite this week and it's suppose to be very good, but the second I read it's somewhat a MOBA game I lost interest. Plus the videos Ive seen of it doesn't make it any interesting.
Most of my time is taken up by studying (to become a teacher).
Battlerite isn't a MOBA, it's a fighting game - and a damn good one at that.
An arena fighting game or some sort of level based?

So many GPU variations... EVGA SC, or FTW? Clock speeds aren't far off but I'm just curious if the extra $50-60 is worth it. I'll probably never use double bios and don't know what I'd use it for.
I haven't checked out those specific models, the onus of research is on you. It sometimes helps to check out the board design, they are changed between certain models to be reference and higher quality mosfets, more powerphases, etc.
Completed a bunch of games today, here's some quick opinions:
-Why am I dead at sea?, a short investigative title with graphics inspired by Earthbound. Very charming, very short, very mature for some plot elements. Very suggested if you don't have so much time to play and want to do something quick (you can get all endings if you clear everything and save before the point of no returns).
-Between me and the nights is a point and click game with some action elements in and there. I started this last sunday, let's say there a very big first chapter but the following two parts are very short and linear. It's a valid title with a nice art-style, sadly controls are a bit clunky and there are small bugs in and there. A little game, anyway, very underrated since I never saw a post regarding it.
-The Deed Dinasty, a collection of three short episodes (let's say 10-15 minutes each) in which you need to murder a person and get away with it. It could look simple, but it's a very hard goal to achieve (in fact I never managed to do it, nor in this or in the prequel).
If you own the first title you can grab the sequel for 0.50€ right now on Steam.
By the way there's still this stuff in case you miss one of the games (I did the error of throwing all of them at once in the giveaway, they will probably remain unredeemed forever)
