Isnt the full release supposed to be in September? Afaik the last update it got last week or 2 weeks ago stated that its the last big update before release.

Edit: Found it.

Ah perhaps I will buy then. It has been on my wishlist for like 2 years.

Keep in mind that their Roadmap is not gospel. It's an estimate that gets pushed back if it turns out it's not feasible (I think at the beginning of the year release was dated May ).
But it looks like they're really close already. I'm waiting for the full release as well before playing - have it from the Freedom Bundle at the beginning of this year.

They said that last update was the last big one, so I guess they could make it.

Sadly I somehow never got the VR mode to work. I can see the main menu and the really beautiful water, but it always gets stuck in the loading screen.

Actually I like how gifting works now is much more honest system.

So far I've only have spend 10 EUR so nothing to fancy here.

Finished the first Episode of Telltale's - Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

That was unfathomably bad. Not a single joke in those two hours actually hit.

It's like the exact opposite of Tales from The Borderlands

 

[MasterMenace]

Anyone know if Steins;Gate and The House of Fata Morgana will drop in price in later sales this year? A lot of these Visual Novel games don't seem to get heavy discounts.

[Tizoc]

Welp I just bought Sonic 4 Episodes 1 and 2 for GBP 3 off of Gamesplanet UK (their discount on it ends in a few hours).
I know they're not that good but I want to give them proper judgement by playing through them.

Steins;Gate probably will (just a guess, don't hold me accountable if it doesn't, lol) since it got a steep sale on PSN. Fata Morgana will probably hold it's price for this year since it's newer and the "hot" VN that everyone's raving about.

Has anyone managed to use a DS4 with Killer Is Dead? I tried Inputmapper and DS4Windows but the game isn't recognizing it as a X360 controller with either one...

 

[JaseC]

Most likely. Both have deeper discounts now than they did throughout last year's Autumn and Winter Sales.

Dang, that's a bummer. Kind of impressed that the first episode is two hours though; their stuff has been getting shorter and shorter.

It still blows my mind how well TFtB turned out. On paper it is a trainwreck, but the execution is flawless.

Try running it hidden mode or whatever the option is called

So when the daily quests change you can't complete yesterdays quests anymore?

Havent they always been 2 hours per ep.?
Fyi king's quest 2015's first ep is like 3-4 hours long. Later eps are a little shorter if u know what to do in them but thr game has 100% more puzzles than tt's tecent output if that interests anyone

 

[Funyarinpa]

Played a bit of Killer Is Dead. Shouldn't be playing on Hard, I think I'm bad at it lol.
LOVE the music and the style though. Game's fucking obtuse as hell though.

Also bought The Silver Case. Welp

thanks for reminding me about The Silver Case. I forgot about that game.

 

[Head of Vengarl]

I've played Rocket League with M+KB just fine. It's true that the controller is better, but you won't feel that you're losing anything.

I played Rocket League with a mouse and keyboard and it was fine.

I would say you're likely to want a controller for Hollow Knight though, I tried to make it work with m+kb and couldn't do it.

Hmm, that's interesting. I was most worried I'd feel like I was at a disadvantage, especially considering Rocket League has crossplay with consoles. But if that's really not the case then I'm reconsidering buying it. I want another multiplayer game to play when I go through my semi-annual SMITE burnout.

Thanks for the heads up about Hollow Knight. I'll take it off my wishlist then, since as I said earlier I often dislike Metroidvania games anyway. This is why I check with GAF before buying games.

 

[Funyarinpa]

Fata just had its (40%, IIRC) anniversary sale a couple weeks ago. I wouldn't count on it being discounted any deeper later. Fata is worth it even at only 30% off. If it'll be anything like Higurashi, it won't get to 50% off or above anytime soon.

 

[LUXURY]

I want games like Firewatch. Anyone recommend some?

 

[Father_Brain]

Solitune is only $1 on itch.io, with a Steam key included. It's a very short (half an hour or so) story-driven art/puzzle game that has gotten good reviews, if you're interested in that sort of thing.

 

[wenis]

is the deluxe edition of Project Cars worth picking up or will the standard suffice?

 

[famfrit]

Civ 6 is still $48 :/ HoI 4 isn't that cheap either.

Any JRPG recommendation that is not final fantasy?

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd
Ys Origin
Ys Oath in Felghana
Ys 1/2
Xanadu Next
NieR: Automata
Atelier Sophie

This, plus:
- Tales of Symphonia
- Tales of Berseria
- Grandia 2
- Dark Souls 1,2,3
- The Last Remnant
- Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1,2,3
- Phantom Brave and Disgaea 1 and 2
- LiEat (if you like RPGMAKER style)

And dont forget to get Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines !

One of the best RPG of all time !!!!!

 

[JaseC]

So when the daily quests change you can't complete yesterdays quests anymore?

You can. The "Explore your discovery queue" quest resets each day, so if you've done so but it's still showing as incomplete, that'd be why (i.e. you need to complete it multiple times).

What Remains Of Edith Finch is a masterpiece of endearing, interactive storytelling

If you say that i might give the second epiode a try sometime this week, but so far i'm really not pressed to continue.

Edith Finch, definitely.

 

[Regginator]

FUCKKK. I accidentally bought Dark Souls III on GamesGate... I was browsing on their UK site to compare £ prices with €, and I went to checkout. You see, usually PayPal will display the converted price to € before finalizing your purchase, but this time it went straight to confirming it... WHY AND WHEN DID THEY CHANGE THIS???

Anyone know why this happened? Because I usually get a confirmation of PayPal's converted price, which I didn't get now.

I'm not particularly troubled by it now, since DS3 has been on my wishlist for a while now and the price was good, but I'd really rather not have this happen to me with most other games.

Yeah, Life is Strange is much longer too. It's only TellTale stuff that keeps getting leaner.

TellTale's longest cinematic adventure is TWD: Season 1, at maybe 12-14 hours (from howlongtobeat). Every TWD game since then has been a few hours shorter. Their other stuff varies, but it's generally in line with the most recent TWD. It's disappointing, because LiS reminded me how effective those few extra hours of immersion are in selling a story.

 

[Knurek]

When it comes to emulation, a lot of people go to some of the less legally viable ones because the quality of the official ones just isn't there.

Mike Evans: Yeah, I think that's one of the inspirations for me - there's some amazing emulators out there in the community. The unfortunate thing is sometimes that's marred by spyware, by viruses

Sounds like what you type into Google in the early 00s "PS2 Emulator" and you get "PS2_EMULATOR_LEGIT_RUNS_60_FPS.exe" files.

Ahh, The Last Remnant. It's worth $5, but just be aware that it's a risk. I made a LTTP thread about it a month ago:

LTTP - The Last Remnant (a.k.a. "Squandered Potential: The Game")

Hey guys,

Can you recommend me nice co-op games to play with my wife on the couch?

Thanks!

Hey guys,

Mount Your Friends

 

[Mxrz]

2 x Stardew
2 x Double Dragon Neon
2 x Double Dragon Trilogy
1 x Left 4 Dead 2
1 x Dark Corners of the Earth
1 x Outlast & DLC

Probably buy a few more. Really want something that'd push my PC. But GTA5 is expensive and I already own it on consoles. Already have Doom, Witcher 3, and FO4 too. Hurry up with Monster Hunter World, Capcom.

Want to pick up the Hotline games too. Was thinking Far Cry 3 or 4, but both have been cheaper. Maybe Tomb Raider for $5, but figure i'll just make me want to play Uncharted instead.

 

[Loptous]

Hey guys,

Can you recommend me nice co-op games to play with my wife on the couch?

Thanks!

Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons is only $1.50.

Octodad can be extremely entertaining too.

Any classic Metal Slug game can be good too if you need something more action-y.

 

[JaseC]

Maybe Tomb Raider for $5, but figure i'll just make me want to play Uncharted instead.

I find that they compliment each other nicely. Uncharted has more interesting stories to tell but I'm more fond of Tomb Raider's moment-to-moment gameplay, which doesn't lean towards platforming as strongly as Uncharted.

 

[The 8-Bit Raider]

Has anyone managed to use a DS4 with Killer Is Dead? I tried Inputmapper and DS4Windows but the game isn't recognizing it as a X360 controller with either one...

I was able to play it last year via DS4Windows...strange.

Did you check the "Hide DS4" box?

 

[KenOD]

Hey guys,

Thanks!

My highest recommendation is Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. Just a great game.

Any of the LEGO games based off movies.
SpeedRunners
BattleBlock Theater
Octodad for hilarity. Don't play it in co-op expecting to beat it, just to be silly and have fun trying.
Shovel Knight Treasure Trove for side scroller action.
Rocket League (I think, not positive on that).
N++ if really good at platformers.
Rayman Legends, Rayman Origins.
Broforce for run and gun.
Double Dragon Neon or Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara or Castle Crashers for beat-em-up
Serious Sams for shooters
Guacamelee for open world side scroller (like Metroid).
Spelunky if you are up for a challenge of skill.
ibb and obb for puzzle platforming.
Trine for another puzzle platformer.
Metal Slug games for run and guns.
PAC-MAN 256

 

[The Red Wizard]

Is it no longer possible to buy Heavensward?

I have played Morphblade for 2 hours and still not beat it.

But I am DETERMINED

I am, no dice :/

Yeah I have that option checked.

 

[Nezacant]

Metro: Last Light Redux is 5$. Last Light is on my backlog list and I own the original. Is redux worth buying? What are the differences?

 

[SunDimension24]

Heavensward is now included in stormblood so they removed it.

Note:
The FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood expansion pack also includes FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward.

 

[WizardofPeace]

I was just about to buy the Mega Man Legacy collection for 50% off. Then i get an update that the price has changed back to full price. The summer sale isn't over yet so why did it change?

 

[electroflame]

Metro: Last Light Redux is 5$. Last Light is on my backlog list and I own the original. Is redux worth buying? What are the differences?

There are some level tweaks (mainly combining levels so there are less loading screens) and some slight gameplay tweaks and graphic tweaks. Overall the changes were pretty minor (much less than going from 2033 to 2033 Redux). The Redux versions are still the better versions of the games, I think.

If you haven't played 2033, they're both worth a play. Last Light was great, and 2033 was really good, too. I highly recommend them both, especially for around $5 per title, or $7.50 for the bundle.

 

[| Praxis |]

How's squad?

Really good, but plenty of early access jank. Don't expect game updates on the schedule of something like Battlegrounds either and server queues are a thing. Get into a good group with voice chat though and it's great. It's like a condensed Arma.
