I just finished The Walking Dead: 400 Days. Here's my opinion about it:

Nice piece of content, even if way too short. I would have liked each mini chapter to be a little longer, since it's hard to become attached to the characters due to their brief nature. With a little more background on each one and time to get used to them, it would have been much more effective at provoking the emotions it set out to.

I really enjoyed it, but it felt like an appetizer before the main course. Which it actually is. Don't know what else I could say without spoiling anything, so I'll finish with this: if you liked the first season, you can't go wrong with this one. If you didn't, this won't make you change your mind. It may only last about an hour, but it's a good hour.

I agree with you RionaaM. I felt that these 5 short stories made it hard to empathize with the characters and when the time came to take a decisions it didn't have the weight (or the illusion of it) they did on the main story as you don't get the repercusion of your decisions. But obviously the DLC is just a taste of what's to come.

[antitrop]

Was wondering the same. Derrick seems to have a legendary status around on GAF. What exactly did he do?

I think it was his trolling on top of his aggressively combative and negative persona.

Usually puts people off, brings attention, can't imagine why.

 

[Killthee]

Ugh, not a fan of this system. I hope booster packs are somewhat frequent.

Old-GAF confirmed.

They unfortunately are not. I've only gotten 1 booster pack since they added them and they only contain 3 cards.

Your Steam level also affects your booster pack drop rate.

How can I get a booster pack?
Once you have received all of your card drops, you become eligible for a booster pack, which is a set of 3 trading cards that may include both basic and foil cards. Booster packs are granted randomly to eligible users as more badges are crafted by members of the community. Make sure you log in to Steam each week to maintain eligibility.

Once eligible, your Steam Level increases your rate of receiving a booster pack drop:

Level 10: +20% increase in your drop rate
Level 20: +40% increase in your drop rate
Level 30: +60% increase in your drop rate
Level 40: +80% increase in your drop rate
Level 50: +100% increase in your drop rate (i.e. the rate has doubled)
Etc.

Holy crap. I didn't realize the javadots thing escalated as quickly as it did.

 

[bengraven]

So would you guys recommend Mount and Blade to someone who enjoys story driven RPGs or is it more like a sandbox?

I may be lttp, but think of it like a "create your own story" sandbox with sim and action elements.

It's Pirates! meets Game of Thrones.

-_-
I know thats what that person bought it with still don't understand why it cant be listed in usd ,,,,wish there was a total money earned somewhere.....

jshackles is working on it

Chivalry.

 

[whitehawk]

Is Surgeon Simulator good?

 

[Casimir]

Ahh, ok. I tried to make the questions obtuse enough that if you Googled them the answer wasn't obvious/first one. I was trying to reward the non-Googlers.

I didn't use google.

Back from work. I'll be up til 2 or 3 am hoping to win stuff XD

The bit worked better when it wasn't as forced and as frequent.

 

[phantomspiker]

Chivalry.

You should try Planetside 2 if you enjoyed that. That game has some awesome large scale battles.

 

[RetroMG]

No, but that's part of the charm.

I'm on the toilet right now, so I'll leave a reminder for myself once I'm done.

Just Bought Super Meat Boy, Left 4 Dead 2 & Bully Scholarship Edition. Ive played none of those. Just built my PC today and finished now. Couldn't be more of a sweeter day. Heres Hoping my AMD Phenom II CPU runs these games and my Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 GPU

 

[Deadbeat]

Its no fun when its stuff you have or you dont want. I want the adrenaline rush of seeing a game again that I really want to play and its like I GOTTA GET IT and a mad dash to PM modbot, refreshing the page constantly, and cheering when you see your name next to the striked out code.

I'll have to check my specs. Former console player getting back into PC gaming here

 

[whitehawk]

Haha true. I guess what I mean to ask is, how is the full game? I tried the demo that released earlier this year and it was fun. Seems like something that would be hilarious when played with friends.

You should be able to run those games easily.

Im trying to get Fez and Hotline Miami. But my luck sucks when those come up in here. I dont go at every game around here. Its mostly stuff I wanna play.

Planetside 2 is pretty brutal. Needs a pretty beefy rig.

But it's free, so you could at least try it out with no obligation.

 

[phantomspiker]

Oh okay.

The game is also coming to PS4.

Planetside 2 is pretty brutal. Needs a pretty beefy rig.

But it's free, so you could at least try it out with no obligation.

Especially when there is over 100+ players on screen.

 

[RetroMG]

I liked it. And as far as hilarity goes, I'll again post These Three Videos.

 

[Fracas]

I don't know what these Steam trading cards are or what they do, but I just made a dollar selling 2 of them. It happened so fast. Do I get more each day?

 

[Cth]

Ahh thanks, that'll save me some time

 

[BoosterDuck]

this thread is moving too fast

 

[Chance Hale]

Just a reminder for everyone playing Chivalry to turn up the ragdoll length up a decent amount, having the bodies actually stay more than 5 seconds really adds a lot to the atmosphere, makes it seem like a real battle.

Sorry for crap steam screenshots, feeling too lazy to take the uncompressed ones and ifran them and then upload to abload and so on.

 

[bengraven]

further by acok mod.

Yes, exactly.

The format of the game makes mods incredibly easy to do - just a new layer of skins and maybe a few models and each mod feels like a legit expansion pack or at least "alternate" version of the game.

Like let's say you want to play as Vikings fighting along the Irish coast and raiding monastaries.

Or a gun fighter in the old west hunting buffalo.

Or a merc in the Outer Rim invading Naboo for The Empire.

 

[whitehawk]

Planetside 2 is pretty brutal. Needs a pretty beefy rig.

Yup. Granted I have a late 2011 iMac, but I can only run it at a playable framerate at low settings and 720p.

I ran it on my HD4000 during my rebuild last fall. It ran surprisingly well at the lowest settings.

Yes it was fun. It also helped that winning Alan Wake earlier in this thread(thanks SephirothRK) was the first time in my life I actually won anything. I normally just have awful luck.

What's the GAF opinion on this:
I'm going to be on vacation for the next ten days. I'm leaving my laptop at home so I can't play anything.

Would it still be fair to try to win giveaways if I won't be able to play them a while?

 

[gblues]

Grups just aren't welcome.
Bonus points if you can tell me what that reference is.
Edit: seems I was 21 when I found GAF, of course, I was 23 by the time my account had been accepted lol.

Star Trek: TOS.

Spoiler

I recognized the reference without googling, but I couldn't name the episode w/o googling. It was "Miri"

Most people around here don't even play games.

It'll probably be fine.

Warband is at the top of my Wishlist. Do all the mods just add skins and models or do any add new mechanics?

Also any mods that enhance the visuals/textures?

As long as you arent collecting keys to sell them later (unlike a former member of this forum) then you are fine.
