At this point I don't even know if I want to play the Evil Within DLC. The story didn't necessarily make me want to see more.

I liked the DLC a lot but know you didn't like the base game too much. What I can say is the story saw a big improvement in the DLC, it kind of explains it better, and I thought the DLC villain was leagues better than the main story villain. It also made me like Kidman, which is impressive as I could not give two shits for her in the main game.

But the DLC does play differently as there's hardly any combat, almost completely stealth-based, and has completely different areas, new enemies built around diversity of stealth, and improved stealth mechanics. Even the few returning areas have twists on them
like the area you fought the two ogres in the main game is at night and used as a site for a puzzle, and go to a new area nearby this with a ritual ground.

The first sale after the move to community both threads stayed open, everyone afterwards got locked, so it's fair to assume nothing will change and it'll get locked again.
Agree with you, I always plan on being active in sale threads but it's just too much to follow and I drop out quickly until after the sale.

Yeah, I remember that, it was nice.

Just noticed the first dude face palms while shooting. Yup, it's that bad.

I actually am liking the game. I kind of expected not to at all, but been having fun. It's not a game I'd run through the streets telling everyone to buy, but I do legitimately think it's far better than people may think it is. It's not trash, just a bit above average with some below average animations and such, and in need of a bit of balancing on certain elements.
 
So I activated:
Bridge Constructor
The Inner World
Asteroid Bounty Hunter
Call of Duty Black Ops
Data Hacker Initiation
Battlepaths
Velvet Assassin
Steel Storm Burning Retribution
Dementium 2
Elements Soul of Fire
Shiplord
The Sun and Moon
Shattered Haven
Keebles

If you want:
Velvet Ass
Asteroid
Hacker
BattleP
InnerWorld
SteelStorm

Pick one and post. I am not messing with a giveaway for these.

The game is pretty fun if you can get past some budget jank. Which is mainly in the multi mission mode.
the season pass is 10 dollars now, and 25 for both

with a good discount that would be a steal

Guess it'll depend on just how low it'll sell for.
 
I wonder if they're going to have all the deals available for the entire sale again. While i liked that i could just buy the games i wanted on any day during the sale, i missed the excitement from seeing what each days deals would be and there was no reason to keep checking the store. Didn't it also mean no flash sales last time?

I´m interested in COD Black Ops and Velvet Assassin if you still have them.

quick ed: d'oh I can't read, COD already is activated right? Velvet Assassins seems like a (very) flawed gem.
 
Will Lashman return for the seal thread? Because that's reason enough to lock this one.

Also, what is Phantom Brave? Is it like Final Fantasy Tactics?

My little wishlist:

- Dark Souls 3
- GTA 5
- Axiom Verge
- TES Morrowind
- MGS Ground Zeroes (if I like it, TPP will be next)

Seems very likely they'll be on sale. I think it's a little early for DS3, but I hope GTA is 50%. All time low seems to be 40%
 
At this point I don't even know if I want to play the Evil Within DLC. The story didn't necessarily make me want to see more.

FWIW I thought it was pretty good.
For a long time you don't even get a gun so it's pretty tense, kinda like Alien Isolation though not as good of course.
Also fills in blanks in the story since you get to see what Kidman was up to, it works exactly like Separate Ways in RE4.
Length is decent.

As for the dlc where you play as the dude with a safe for a head, it's actually fun. It's pretty short so it doesn't overstay its welcome.

I've finally uninstalled The Witcher 3 for good. That's 50GB out of my HDD, phew.

Easily one of my favorite games of all time. The expansions are pretty great as well. Did my best to complete the achievements, but nah I don't think I can deal with it.

I really hope CDPR can somehow remake the first two games with RED3 Engine. Maybe separate each act into White Orcard sized maps and that'll do just fine. There's huge potential market for the first two games. The first one is not accessible for non PC gamers, and the Witcher 2 is PC/360 exclusive. Lots of new fans started playing The Witcher from the Wild Hunt and still missed the first two games, and lots of them want more adventure featuring Geralt. Ending The Witcher series at this point is like leaving money on the table. Good bye Geralt, you'll be missed. :(

I gotta beat Pillars of Eternity to get the space to install this game to play the expansion!

AMA with Stephen Kick (Night Dive Studios) from earlier today.

Random answers:

Turok 2 enhanced when?
We're making great progress but that's all I can say!
Any news on No One Lives Forever?
No, sorry - Cate makes a very small cameo appearance in our Kickstarter video though! See if you can spot her :)
What was the hardest game you ever encountered to get running in modern hardware?
Games like Dark Seed II can run on modern machines but require a copy of 3.1 in the DosBox package.
Since Win 3.1 is not open source we can't legally distribute it.
Titanic: Adventure Out of Time is currently giving us fits!
Which game that you haven't yet gotten would you like to?
One game (out of many) that we haven't secured is Blade Runner. I've made a ton of progress but with the new movie being announced it's been increasingly difficult. It took MONTHS just to track down a member of the Blade Runner Partnership and I know almost every original team member from Westwood by name.
What other obscure PC (or even console) games from that time period do you want to remaster and rerelease?
I would love to release Drowned God, The Dark Eye, Obsidian, The Space Bar...as for console games...Body Harvest!!

Blade Runner...there is hope! I'm so happy this guy loves adventure games. Can't wait for Titanic: Adventure Out of Time, and it would be great to see him secure titles like The Dark Eye, Obsidian, and The Space Bar.
 
Sorry for asking this here, but we really need your help!

Kiru and myself are trying to do the next Steam Sale .gif, but we need someone who can do the final step in that .gif...

So, can someone help us or we are doomed?

Neat, Body Harvest N64 was by what would become Rockstar North. It runs like shit on it so a port would be great.
Get Hybrid Heaven while you're at it, but that's Konami so it's probably impossible.

Maybe ask in the avatar thread in OT. They seem to have all the editor software and are helpful.

Great to hear mention of Blade Runner even if its probably a long way off.

Shame there was no mention and no one asked about the Powerslave Ex situation. That project seems pretty dead sadly.

Didn't Dr. Dogg write up a cool review on his playthrough of Blade Runner a couple years ago? Would be something cool to dig up if we can find it.

...why? Did something happen to him? Now I'm worried.
 

Lashley

Why does he wear the mask!?
First actual gaming PC in 12 years, I've just had a laptop (Macbook at that) since then.

This sale is going to hurt me.

In a similar boat, went from a mediocre laptop to a full on gaming PC

What time does the sales start in British time? 6PM? Gives me time to vote then get back I suppose
