Entered it

 

[danthefan]

Wow, entered the raffle H1PSTER, very generous.

I don't think I have 5 posts in the thread but I've given away about 10 games in two different posts so I'll make 2 more posts and I think in good faith I can enter!

I was interested until I saw the system requirements. It's a weird feeling, having your CPU be more than enough and your GPU not even meeting minimums for new games coming out.

Wow, great giveaway. hi5

I've won a ton, so I'm sitting it out. Good luck to you guys.

 

[rtcn63]

The biggest worry for me is the combat. It looks closer to AssCreed, with the open-world dedicated to doing shit that you really don't need to, and the difficulty is apparently too easy as is. (Hope you can change it to harder ones right away) Which for me equals not particularly engaging.

 

[Ozium]

Yeah, it's a great, distilled HL2 experience. The creator was later hired by Valve to work on Episode Three and was one of the main brains behind the Portal 2 ARGs.

Edit: The mod has its own OST, too.

 

[Cerity]

My shameful confession:

I spent a good 12+ hours in the starter town wringing it dry of all the bonus quest content and loving every minute of it.

I then ventured out of town for the first time to continue the murder case and promptly got my ass kicked by the first set of enemies I tangled with. After several tries, I just gave up.

Haven't picked up the game since.

The first part of the game is honestly the hardest part, you still don't have enough levels to get your characters going properly. Once you do get your characters going, the game is pretty breezy IMO, especially if you level your characters by way of a standard RPG.

Just finished the game with a mate and it was his first cRPG, certaintly didn't have many troubles at all. Just the bumpy start and the lack of direction in the 2nd map.

You need to complete some quests in the town. And the difficult of battles will vary wildly depending on how you approach things, you can all but make a battle unwinnable for yourself.

You should definitely keep going, the battles and the mad strategies you can come up with to win them are the best thing about the game.

[Terra_Ex]

uh oh, and I'm having a hard time enough getting used to Wasteland 2 ;_;

Wasteland 2 seems harder than Divinity to me, at least if you go to the AG centre first you can screw yourself over with regards to ammo. Divinity isn't that bad direction wise once you realise how it wants you to play and even as a veteran of the old titles, it surprised me (very pleasantly) because unlike most modern games it doesn't treat you like an idiot and after a generation of quest markers and hand-holding it even took me a while to get back into the swing of things (a game that actually wants you to think and read in 2014, can it be?). If like me, Fable-esque glowing trails leading to your objective irritate you then you'll be well served by Divinity. Just remember to read journal entries, listen to what's being said and these things will inform your choice on where to go next.

Nice giveaway, H1PSTER. I think my PC's gpu would cry if I attempted to run that on ultra. I've even decided I'm just gonna take a hit on Witcher 3 visuals and wait on my upgrade since I'm not confident the current crop of cards are going to see me through the whole generation.

Nice giveaway!

I'm about to hook my hard drive from my laptop up to my desktop via HD enclosure, so some questions:
1) Can I browse the drive like normal from file explorer and extract my documents from it? I don't want to hook it up to SATA and
2) Will it being a C: drive with Windows 7 be an issue so long as I'm not booting from it? I want to extract and then format this drive.

Please and thanks, I know this isn't tech support but it's easily the most lively PC thread.

I can't tell you definitively but I can remember some conflict in drive names on my PC before and Windows renamed them itself. It was actually quite annoying as a load of file paths broke. I have 2 HDDs and yeah you can just browse the second one no problem. Anyway someone else will give you a better answer.

I had to do this a month ago although it was transferring data from one laptop hd to another laptop.

1) Yes, you shouldn't have any issues.
2) Yes (I think). My old hd had win7 and my new laptop has win8.1, there were no issues.

I just finished playing (or rather, reading) Planetarian: The reverie of a little planet. It's a really sweet story that I enjoyed a lot. It took me about 4 hours to complete and although I felt that was a bit long for the main story, they did spend the time detailing the world and characters in great detail which really helped the experience. It also has a really nice soundtrack.

I tried writing a bit about the story the visual novel deals with but the store page does a good job of it so I'll just paste that here.

It is thirty years after the failure of the Space Colonization Program.
Humanity is nearly extinct. A perpetual and deadly Rain falls on the Earth.
Men known as "Junkers" plunder goods and artifacts from the ruins of civilization.
One such Junker sneaks alone into the most dangerous of all ruins -- a "Sarcophagus City".
In the center of this dead city, he discovers a pre-War planetarium.
And as he enters he is greeted by Hoshino Yumemi, a companion robot.
Without a single shred of doubt, she assumes he is the first customer she's had in 30 years.
She attempts to show him the stars at once, but the planetarium projector is broken.
Unable to make heads or tails of her conversation, he ends up agreeing to try and repair the projector ...

The entire story is based around the interactions of the cynical, war weary scavenger and the cheerful robot hostess who is completely unaware of what is going on in the world around her. It's difficult to discuss the various themes of the story without going into spoiler territory. Suffice it to say that if you enjoy visual novels, it's likely that you will be entertained by this one.

My co-worker matt really liked it. He suffers from OCD and depression so a lot of the themes spoke to him. He says he loves the game but can't bring himself to replay for another ending because it's a bit too much.

He's kind of a wuss when it comes to horror games though, so take that with a grain of salt

 

[danthefan]

I think I've gotten as far as I ever will in SpaceChem. Really interesting little game but has just gotten too complex, especially if I take a break from playing mid-level I can hardly remember what I'd done in the previous session.

After all of these screenshots, this game is officially on my Wishlist.

Well I have been looking forward to this game since I first caught glimpse of it middle of last year and it hasn't disappointed at all so far. Last batch tonight before someone screams at me.

Thanks guys. I had my laptop break and would rather throw this to my Wii U and betray you all

Pfft we all know this thread pulls double duty as WiiU Owners Not So Anonymous. I mean I own one and it gets plenty of use.

Took a couple weeks break, but I'm back at Skyrim. Dont think this game is ever going to end. 93 hours and I've barely touched the story.

Ethan Carter got its first patch btw. http://steamcommunity.com/app/258520/discussions/0/616189106520091094/

DR3 too but it's not very exciting, something about sound levels and some costumes.

Also after the trial I kinda want to buy Titanfall. On Steam. For 7,99€. Am I too spoiled? And is anyone here playing Garden Warfare? Got that for 10 bucks but haven't started yet.

I ended up just dropping Skyrim after putting a hundred something hours. Then again I did play on pstriple and the bugs were annoying as shit. Maybe I'll double dip in the next steam sale

It's my favorite controller that I've used, great sticks and a joy to hold. Only real complaint is there is no wireless option yet, have to use USB whereas with the Dualshock 4 you can use bluetooth.

I'm still not really feeling the Xbone controller still. I can use it but man those analog nubs suck. I want my whole thumb to rest not sit above.
