I believe

Spoiler

you play as Elizabeth

. Not sure the context of the story, but I'm definitely looking forward to it.

I know I'm going to play as Elizabeth, I just don't know how they are going to pull this off story wise.

Funny thing, it seems like the staff of PCGamer were having a hard time understanding the endings of both the base game and the DLC.

Managed to kill a giant in Skyrim hid behind some rocks and shot it with like 50 arrows lol

I know Crysis 3 is nice to look at, but how good is the game? On the fence about using another coupon to get it, as I don't have many left.

Do you enjoy boring games?

 

[neoemonk]

Damn it I keep forgetting to check out that Metro UI.

Where are all the giantesses?

 

[Atraveller]

Where are all the giantesses?

Probably lying somewhere in the camp.

 

[Turfster]

Where are all the giantesses?

The giants never put the toilet seat down, so they all left.
They'd heard good things about the cyclopses further south.

The only good parts are when most or all of the enemies on the map are humans. When the Ceph get a heavy presence, the game becomes intensely unfun.

Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara

This just makes me wish Dragon's Crown was on PC. Been having so much fun with that on Vita, double dipped and bought the PS3 version I cannot currently play because mine is boxed and in storage.

I hope you got his toe, that shit's useful.

This is weirdly disturbing.

 

[Atraveller]

I've never crafted potions in Skyrim before, all of them came from looting.

 

[Blue Ninja]

This is weirdly disturbing.

That giant just looks so sad. Just look at his face. And all that blood, man, it's not a happy situation.

Then you got the blind murder with this ugly huge-ass compass floating over his head, it was not a happy day in Skyrim.

 

[Atraveller]

I think I got most of the equipment from looting in every RPG, do you guys enjoy crafting in RPGs?

 

[toddhunter]

I liked making swords in Ultima 7...but that is about it. In Skyrim you have everything you need just laying around....and you actually need none of it.

 

[Caerith]

I think I got most of the equipment from looting in every RPG, do you guys enjoy crafting in RPGs?

For crafting to be enjoyable in RPGs, it needs to be useful and not a pain in the ass. If a game is handing out stuff equal to or better than the stuff you can craft, there's no point in crafting. If crafting seems to exist solely to pad out the grind, then it isn't enjoyable.

With that said, I think the only game where I enjoyed crafting was FFXI.

The ending of the DLC was definitely easier to process than the base game. That being said, I would LOVE for them to take pt. 2 back to Columbia. Wishful thinking I'm guessing.

Am I the only one here rocking standard steam ui. I really like it.

 

[Stallion Free]

I rock it due to the rate of features being added of late

 

[Levyne]

I'm not using a skin or anything either.

 

[inm8num2]

This is weirdly disturbing.

The player looks so happy there.

 

[Caerith]

I sort of am. I use a half-assed skin that is basically standard but all the font sizes have been increased and the BPM button is missing an image for some reason.

 

[Chronoja]

I've never crafted potions in Skyrim before, all of them came from looting.

Potions were fairly meh outside of resource ones and the blacksmith and enchanting ones. Some of the poisons though were glorious. Crafting some high value Damage Over Time poisons, slipping them into someone's pocket completely unawares and watch them die in a matter of second never got old, at least for me. Only thing to beat it is slipping mines into peoples pockets in Fallout.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Yes....since my skin updated and broke the downloading tab and i got to lazy to update it.

 

[feel]

I like it too. All the skins look awful to me.

 

[Atraveller]

Seems like people don't like crafting all that much.

I want them to make DLC from the cut content, some stuff from the previous demos looks really cool.

 

[Caerith]

Seems like people don't like crafting all that much.

Only because it almost always sucks in video games. It's a shame nobody learned any lessons from Vagrant Story.

You can get into a early access for Chess The Gathering!

It's free by the way, so one free game count!

 

[Chance Hale]

I put a good 90 hours into Dark Souls on the PS3 and Blighttown is still horrifying on the PC. So stressful.

And coming back to Skyrim is a good time, excited to finally play some of the expansion content and finish up things I hadn't done. Plus with the power of mods I can have my wonderful exaggerated depth of field effects that I love so.

well the key worked and its in my library and playable...but i didn't get +1

I paid 40 for it which I regret, if you can get it for under 10 then go got it

Probably because it's still flagged as private. Castle Doctrine activated as Steam Sub 36479 (actual name The Castle Doctrine Beta Test package) and Chess of Gathering as Steam Sub 26839 (actual name Chess the Gathering Early Access).

ahh ok. i actually tried installing it and playing it for some strange reason. its, uhh, confusing

I had high expectations for "Brothers: A tale of two sons" ... but I found it boring and so basic. I know this a story-driven kind of game but I don't know.. I'll keep playing to see what happens

I felt the same way when I started playing it. Stick with it, the set pieces and the way the story unfolds is worth the frustration of the controls and some mechanics overstaying their welcome. The game is pretty short (around 3 hours if I remember correctly).

Is this the same as the prototype that was previously given away (or is it even the same giveaway)?

 

[Tenrius]

The player looks so happy there.

He's also looking directly at me!

 

[ClassyPenguin]

Installed Metro. What an improvement over stock.

Very Rough right now. I can't recommend it, even for free.

Bioshock Infinite is currently $9.99 on Amazon and only $4.99 if you use a EC coupon. Looks like a price error.

That's part of the problem. In a game where story is the focus like this, it just didn't deliver for me. I can name at leastt 4 other games I played where the story was the focus and there was very little gameplay that were leaps and bounds above Brothers.

That's not to say there aren't a few high points -- some of the artistic design is well done and the customized interactions of the brothers in parts was well done (I recall the cat, most specifically), but everything else seemed so clunky and forced to me.

I felt the same way when I started playing it. Stick with it, the set pieces and the way the story unfolds is worth the frustration of the controls and some mechanics overstaying their welcome. The game is pretty short (around 3 hours if I remember correctly).

I really disagree that it's "worth it".

But, yes, the game is like 2-3 hours max. I have 3 hours on record, 12/12 achievements, and I had time idling at pause menus, I'm sure.

It's been 4 hours since I posted it, so if it's a price error, they're in no hurry to fix it.
Looks like it's a base price drop.

Oh, didn't see it posted. They did drop the price but they didn't change the discount which makes me think it could be an error.

 

[Gvaz]

Do itttttt.



It's like proper cinema (2.35) that you can play.

But black bars...

 

[Stallion Free]

But black bars...

Do you like refuse to watch movies if they have black bars on your screen? Do you stretch old 4:3 games to fill the 16:9 space?
