Oh goddammit I got hit with that black flag save bug. Got up to unlocking the Jackdaw and boom turns out nothing saved since the opening. Ugh. Don't suppose anyone has any saves in similar areas? Even a few areas ahead is fine, I've completed up to the pirate island you upgrade on xbox.

The Kins posted:Hey! Remember how EA gave the "Ultimate Edition" of The Sims 2 away to everyone who owned some other digital version of the game? I swear I never quite got the hate for EA. Origin is actually a fantastic platform and giveaways like these are pretty nice.

Dominic White posted:Origin has only just started to add support and features on par with Steam, and it took them a long, LONG time to reach that point. Back before EA rebranded it, it was a lovely little app called EA Downloader, and anything you bought through it had an expiry date. You could pay an extra $6 on top of your premium direct-from-publisher price for 'download insurance' so that you'd be able to access the game for another two years. Ow, okay that's bad. Still, coming into PC gaming recently (and not buying Sim City 4/Battlefield) I don't mind them overmuch.

I'm at the last one now and while it sure is a lot of QTEs I'm still enjoying it. I've enjoyed it all enough to give the comic books a try despite knowing that it gets really "Pro-Israel" or something later in the series. also super anti abortion

Crabtree posted:We're a week and 11 hours till Risen 3 comes out, and the english trailers and early German footage have got me stoked that PB learned everything they needed to from their previous mistakes. Multiple factions and crystal magic are back without sacrificing voodoo or pirates from the world, so they're not throwing the baby out with the bathwater again involving anything good from the last game. You can fight and piss off everyone and everything, regardless of how powerful you are at that point - as well as craft and customize more than any other gothic-like yet. You brew potions and liquors, craft items and other armaments, weave enchantments and even experiment with your own spell effects (with thankfully no encumbered or item limit in sight for you alchemical or loot kleptomaniacs). They seemed to have made sure every group has a little bit of something and not just HERE IS YOUR MELEE FIGHTERS CLUB/HERE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ONLY USE RIFLES/etc. as apparently the Guardians, Voodoo Pirates and Demon Hunters have their own unique sword, long-range and sorcery styles for players to discover instead of gimping them into a single form of combat and armor. Of course, there are other unmentioned NPCs and factions existing that will teach you your god given right to thieving and other potentials skills, regardless of which "major" faction you side with. This looks kinda cool but also somewhat like a poor man's skyrim. As someone who's never played any of the Risen/Gothic games, this tempts me but doesn't sell me entirely. What am I looking at here?

yo so everytime i start steam up it fails to recognize the steam library on my G:/ hard drive. i.e. not my C drive. I've tried opting in and out of the beta to no avail. If I try to install a game it tells me to select my steam library and detects everything fine, but it's totes annoying.

Palpek posted:The swordplay is not effective especially against a group of enemies because that was the game telling you not to do that. Open combat in Disonored is fantastic as long as you're using the whole arsenal you're given and change your position instead of pushing the purposefully boring direct sword fights. It's not the game's fault that you have 2 full ui wheels of weapons and superpowers that you refuse to use. Basically just watch the above linked video and all the other ones by that uploader and you'll get a handle on dishonored combat right quick.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:Australia's minimum wage is 16.87 AUD which is about $15.70 USD. US mimimum wage in most states is less than half of that, that's a bit more than "slightly." I know Australians love bitching about their high prices, and it's to some degree warranted in cases like these where it's an entirely digital product, but it's a very unique situation that has nothing in common with the prices in developing countries. Yeah but if you look at purchasing power it's close to 9.50 or so iirc. It's impressive but less than you'd think.

So I bought Lichdom Battlemage, and while I love the voice acting the opening is aggressively awful visually. I'm fine with them avoiding 3D scenes and 2D images done well can be really nice, but holy poo poo the 2D scenes in the opening are literally sketches and are terrible. Please tell me there are plans to change this. The rest is pretty awesome as far as I see though.

I don't really notice the difference between 8 and 8.1 because I use startisback. Heck I barely even notice the difference between windows 7 and windows 8 anymore, because startisback is just that useful. Though, to be honest, just download launchy and never use the start menu again.

Since I for one (dunno about anyone else here; probably a couple I guess) am trying to sneakily read through the Steam thread during quiet periods at work, but don't want to get busted with massive comics/whatever filling the screen, if possible! I, on the other hand, loved MP3. I found the story engaging and interesting and the gameplay was incredible. Outside the lovely literal final boss, I totally loved it. Just use a trainer for unlimited bullettime.

Stuntman posted:What's the consensus on Always Sometimes Monsters? It looks interesting, but the reviews are a bit split on it. Probably fine if you're not a speed reader. If you are you'll find that the text moves waaaay too slowly with no option to speed it up and in an all text game that's just unacceptable. It was to the point were I'd alt-tab out if I could without the game losing focus because I was reading for two seconds, waiting for 4. Reading for 2, waiting for 4. I'm sure it's a very good story though. E: wow this is pages late hahah The Iron Rose fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Sep 17, 2014 |

I actually quite liked Dragon Age 2, if only because I really liked the voice actress for FemHawke. I also liked the story, and the gameplay was... mediocre at best. Frankly it was aggressively bad for a triple A game, but I liked the plot enough to finish the game. So long as I didn't look too closely at it at any rate. DA:O, by comparison, was so aggressively boring that it took a half dozen times to finish it, and then even only because I really wanted to play DA2. Better gameplay, sure, but God I hate having a silent protagonist. Hate it hate it hate it, especially in a modern RPG. E: Oh gently caress it's a new page I'm dead.

I'm not into dudes but AC: Revelations Ezio is actually crazy attractive and tbh one of the main reasons I'm suffering through it coming from Black Flag. Like seriously. Crazy, crazy attractive italian dude. Just wish he didn't speak in cutscenes. Or at all, for that matter.

Palpek posted:AC: Revelations is a good game though, I would understand if you were suffering through AC3 because of being crazy about Connor or something but Rev is a worthy sequel to Bro. It's fine, but the opening was a slog and there's something about the game that just feels ~last gen~ to me in a way that Black Flag and even assassin's creed 3 do not. Dunno why I feel this now when I didn't playing assassin's creed 2 on the xbox when it came out, but I'm shallow in that way.
