I'm definitely liking Shadows of Mordor the more I play it.
One of the few games where I might have been too quick to judge.

It happens sometimes. When i first played X-com 2012, I put over an hour into it and walked away kinda feeling like ehhhhhhhhh.

The next session i had with it was over 6 hours long. The good ones, man, when they get you they get you good.

You should sue Steam for false advertising. I know I'm deleting my account and going Origin+Uplay combo now :p

That sucks for them, but hopefully a lesson was learn: WAIT. HOLD. WAIT & HOLD. Once the game is out, then decide if it's worth your money. Otherwise, you get what you pay for.

It's not about waiting. Games shouldn't go 50% off inside a month from release. There should be some 'ethics' about when and by how much you discount your game for the first time. 50% off after one month on the market is a no no. It also means that your are self-inflicted-ly increasing tendencies of people waiting to for sales to buy their games and bringing forth a reality of 'never buying Steam games on launch'.

the golden rule for anyone, regardless of how much a person wants a game, is:

In regards to PA: It's their game, to do with it as they see fit. When others threw their money at an uncertainty, they can't get mad when what they got was an uncertainty.

In regards to being mad about the PA discount: Just don't buy games on day one and you'll be ok. If you are, then be aware of the fact that what you pay for today, someone will pay less for tomorrow.

Not steam related but hey.

Did EA stop selling Origin games on disc? I just noticed BF Hardline isn't available on Amazon uk. So would I just be stuck paying £50 from Origin? :S

The best bit? Buying the game during Early Access was supposed to grant you the following extras:

But this can't be done because the game has been out of Early Access for a month now and the devs didn't make a post-EA sub, meaning it's impossible to grant the incentives to Early Access buyers without also giving them to those who've bought the game during its post-launch period thus far. If I didn't buy the game through a trader I'd be pressing Valve for a refund.

I'm not sure about the wallpapers or artbook, but I bought Planetary Annihilation in Early Access, and I got the Theta commander. I also got access to the soundtrack, though you have to go to the Uber website for that.

No that would be insanely difficult to create and way too much effort to be worthwhile.

I *think* there are mods, but it's on a game-by-game basis since what the mods do is essentially replace the textures used for xbox prompts with ps buttons and there's no universal way of doing that.

Some games are coming with PS button prompts already built it, though, but it's a relatively rare thing

It's not about me. It's about the devs cutting the branch they are sitting on. You screw your most loyal fans and they won't be there next time. And when devs start complaining about the Steam's userbase mentality of waiting for sales and not getting games day1, then they should point the finger at themselves for doing such deep and early discounts.

You should ask in the main thread. the CEO of Just Add Water checks it and posts their occasionally. Sure you could get an answer there.

I think i saw something about Cook, Serve, Delicious supporting it not too long ago. Can't remember any others off the top of my head.

Uber appears to be the exception here, though. Most devs seem to be doing a good job with this stuff. but still, people are learning what they're getting: they're paying into a risk, and part of that is knowing that you might not see a thing when it's all said and done.

And it seems like EA/Kickstarter games have already suffered due to stuff like this. People are learning, and will continue to learn.

it'll work itself out.

Dunno if it was already posted, but:
http://twitch.tv/zlive

Reflex (one of the upcoming arena FPSs) stream. Should've posted this earlier, because they were actually making a map in the ingame editor. They have also showed a recreation of Aerowalk, an original duel map and now they are playing on a Q1DM6 remake/remix.

So not only is Planetary Annihilation released by what many called very buggy and incomplete, but not even a mere month since the game is already 50% off, screwing early adopters and those who put their trust into the devs.

Well hey, they just launched a new Kickstarter project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/659943965/human-resources-an-apocalyptic-rts-game. $1.4m target is pretty damn high, especially considering their reputation and the cherry on top is the kickstarter decline news yesterday (although there are actual reasons for the decline too, it's not just loss of interest).

I'm not going to lie, I want a game similar to what they are pitching. I just don't see this kickstarter succeeding.

http://www.overclock.net/t/999232/a-quick-guide-on-how-to-increase-font-size-in-steam-chats To change the notification window text size, search the same file for Label until you see this:

Code: 
    Label
		{
		textcolor="Label"
		selectedtextcolor="Text"
		bgcolor="none"
		font-family=basefont
		font-size=14
		font-weight=400
 		}

And change the font-size value accordingly. E.g.:

Default (14):
notifsize1t5j4h.jpg


Modified (16):
notifsize25akjn.jpg


Note that this will also increase the font size of other text elements that use the Label class.

Faced the same issue with my DS3 a while ago and I eventually got used to it. Takes some time tho. As others stated, there is no universal mod for all games sadly. I just ended up buying a Xbox One controller heh.

I wasn't seriously suggesting putting stickers on your DS4, but if you do decide to do it, you owe me royalties.

That's how things work, right?

Actually this does give me an idea. I might be able to mod one of my DS4, but some spare Xbox buttons and replace it. Like how some people replaced the joysticks with Xbox ones.

I haven't play Xbox in a long time. It does take a while to get used to. X(

I always get confused when games tell me to press bumpers or triggers. Since I've never used an Xbox controller I have no idea what they are. They could be talking about triangle for all I know.
