  1. The skyline in the NYC area is missing the World Trade Center, because of memory limitations iirc. There's a conversation or datalog that mentions a terrorist attack taking it down. Deus Ex came out in 2000. edit: DAMNIT, DEAN!
  2. Meh, it was still far enough that I'm not too bothered. Besides, getting both XCOM 2 and Mankind Divided right around mid-semester would not have ended well for me. I don't need that shit on my last semester, I need to graduate this year! That being said, that seems like a pretty long delay, though. Makes you wonder what kind of state the game was in. I hope the Paris attacks have nothing to do with it. Delaying/changing media content because of real world events just seems kind of idiotic to me... Although, it would be kind of "funny" if the game coincidentally featured some kind of attack in Paris considering what happened with the original.
  3. I'm intrigued but it not being an SRPG and not actually taking place in the same world as VC is a major wut move. At least, considering how VC performed on Steam, I think a PC version is likely should the game get localized. So there's that.
  4. I was watching Matthewmatosis' 6 hours long Dark Souls commentary on and off last week and it gave me an itch to play some Dark Souls. I ended up ignoring TitS SC all week-end but it was worth it because I am finally done with the game! There was much less farming involved than I had anticipated because it turns out I already had a significant amount of the required items piled up. I mostly just needed to get the last few miracles/sorceries/pyromancies I was still missing, max out a weapon of each type and craft all the boss weapons. Overall, it felt like a much less tedious completion process than I remember Demon's Souls being. It feels good to finally be done with the game, though, as I've been working on it on and off ever since they released the Steamworks update and I really wanted to get it done before Dark Souls III comes out. Also, more importantly, now I can get back to TitS.
  5. Holy shit, I hadn't noticed but now it's all I can see... I'm going to go on a limb and suggest that "because Japan" is what's up with them. At the very least, it sure as shit ain't gravity.
  6. I guess I forgot to post when I ordered it but this was waiting on my desk when I got home. No idea when I'll actually have the time to play it but I've been meaning to get it for a while. They recently confirmed the sequel for a 2016 release, which prompted me to look on Amazon and for once the new copies on the marketplace weren't horribly overpriced, so I went for it.
  7. First Dragon Quest Heroes and now Disgaea on Steam?! They just keep coming, baby! Come on, SEGA. Do Persona! DO IT!

      Mr. PC Gaming doesn't care about Fallout?!?!?!?

      Oh, I care about Fallout. I just can't bring myself to get excited for a Bethesda game anymore. I'll get it eventually, once they fix most of the bugs and probably have a GOTY edition or whatever. I'm in no hurry to play it.

  8. Yeah, I think I'll also hold off a little bit on LotV. I really want it but I just don't have time for it right now. Maybe I'll get it over christmas break or something. That being said... Instead of going to bed when I ran out of beer last night, I drunkenly bought Rocket League at 4AM. Ended up going to bed around 6... but man! This game is stupid fucking fun! I only played the single-player season to learn the ropes, so I'm gonna have to try playing online today. I fully expect to be terrible at it.
  9. Dragon Quest Heroes on Steam, uh? Now do Bloodborne and Persona 5 and I might actually skip the PS4 entirely!

      Cross-over is between multiple series.

    3. toxicitizen

      Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Even if characters from different games are in DQH, you're still staying within the Dragon Quest series. Crossover implies different IPs.

       

      A crossover is more like SMTxFE, or whatever the hell it's called now.

      Well I guess it's true that you are what you eat, because you guys are NUTS. Characters from separate games, whether from the same franchise or not, is a crossover. Like Dissidia. As long as those characters didn't have any relations in their original games.

  10. Got them while they were all on sale around Halloween. Used leftover card money so it ended up costing me about 4 bucks. Really looking forward to finally playing the RE5 DLC. Also, since it doesn't seem to get discounted like... ever (it got excluded from every single major sale since Scholar of the First Sin came out) and I have plenty of disposable income right now, I finally caved in and got
  11. Lol. I seriously feel like the only person that's not hyped for Fallout 4. I almost wish I was but I just can't bring myself to buy a Bethesda game at launch. Plus, what they've shown kinda feels like it's gone in a direction I'm not super keen on.
  12. Urge to pre-order rising...
  13. This seriously cannot be stressed enough. As someone currently learning all about it, it's something I really wish more gamers would understand. That whole "lazy dev" accusation that people like to throw around so much? I've come to realize just how truly fucking ridiculous it actually is.
  14. It wasn't made by Team Meat... Tommy Refenes never had anything to do with Isaac, it's just Edmund collaborating with other people. And in the case of Rebirth/Afterbirth, most of the development was handled by Nicalis. And even if it wasn't, focusing on the one game that's massively successful rather than the weird one that doesn't seem to be making much progress kinda makes sense, no? Besides, I'm pretty sure Mewgenics was shelved a while back in favor of that Super Meat Boy runner game. And then iirc, that one also got shelved in favor of porting SMB to PS4.
  15. It's pretty much just the original game but with modern OS compatibility (it doesn't run on DOSBox), higher resolution support (only up to 1024x768, though) and the (essential) mouselook mod preapplied. From what I've heard, the clunky controls was the main issue even back in the days. Mouselook alone makes a hell of a difference in making it actually playable.
  16. If the game has alien radio towers then I take back everything I said. Ancient aliens in a caveman game = GOTY forever. I've admittedly not seen a whole lot of what they've shown. Does it not have bows and throwing spears or do you mean specifically gun shooting?
  17. FTFY. Far Cry Primal looks like something new? The setting is novel, sure, but it's still a Ubisoft game. It's going to be mainly about climbing shit to reveal collect-a-thon map markers. I mean, don't get me wrong, I enjoy those games as much as the next guy, so I'm not trying to shit on the formula here. I just don't see how you could seriously expect anything more out of it. With Ubisoft, it's safer to expect the usual and little more.
  18. How is there any kind of uncertainty here? Deus Ex ­­>>>> everything else.
  19. Is that the Ice Cave one? If so, that's where I also hit a wall. Haven't touched the game in a while because of it, which is a shame because up until that point I was loving the hell out of it.
  20. Lol. You'd think so but while there are airships in the game's world, the characters make it a point to travel on foot. At least, they do in FC. That being said, the technology that powers the airships is an important element in the plot and the world's lore. Oh and, it goes without saying but But that's not all. The issue that's been holding up my student financial aid since the beginning of September has fucking finally been cleared up, so now it's time to do the mature thing: blow it all on a bunch of video games I don't really have time to play right now! Really glad to finally be able to get those three, I've been wanting to play them so much. And last but not least, finally pre-ordered this
  21. Well, that... certainly looks like a Platinum-made NieR sequel. As expected, seems a bit more geared towards action. It's very early footage, though, so it's hard to tell whether there's any RPGness going on under the hood.
  22. Double Dragon Neon. Got this one a little while back, from some bundle, I think. Gave it a quick try back then, thought it seemed a bit shit and turned it off before finishing the first level. Fast-forward to now and between rewatching a bunch of AVGN videos and playing AVGN Adventures, I felt like playing something old-school. So, I figured this was close enough and gave it another shot. Turns out it's actually pretty goddamn fun! Right off the bat, I'm a huge sucker for the whole 80s nonsense shtick (think Blood Dragon), especially when it's accompanied by an appropriate soundtrack, so the game had that going for it. I also hadn't played a straight-up old-school brawler like this in ages and, even though I was never overly fond of the genre, it was pretty fun to play one after all these years. Not much else to say, really. It's Double Dragon but more radical! Oh, and the ending theme is almost Revengeance levels of perfect.
  23. Trails in the Sky SC is finally coming out! Next Week! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

      Yeah, I know. Where do you think I got my info? :P

      I'm assuming I can transfer my save from Steam to GOG? It's both PC so...

      Some guy related to the project is telling people on GAF that they can use other people's saves even if they don't own FC on PC, so yeah, you should be fine.

  24. Go back and do the other. I made the same choice as you at first but the other one feels like a better, truer ending to the story. It's also longer and doesn't feel like an afterthought. I'd be willing to bet they only gave a choice because they knew people would expect multiple endings.
  25. Yeah, the rewind mechanic really felt like a logical evolution of the memory remixing from Remember Me. Especially when you have to rewind a scene until you find the correct combination of actions to produce the desired outcome. It's pretty much the same idea, just in a different context. I really wanted to love Remember Me but the repetitive, boring combat brought it down to "just kind of liked it" level. Looking at Life is Strange now, it really makes me wonder if shoehorning combat into it was something demanded by Capcom in exchange for backing the game financially. Like, Remember Me was clearly built as an action game overall but the combat really didn't feel like it received the same level of attention as everything else. Other than that pointless combo customization stuff, it's pretty shallow and underdeveloped. But the story was pretty good, I thought, and the art direction was some of the best I've seen last gen.
