I know it's pointless but I'm still obsessively checking the app every 6 hours. It's a problem.

 

EDIT: Wrong thread.

 

gods yes.

BF 2 is the best Battlefront game and it's fantastic single player. SW Battlefront 2015 disappointed me really hard because I still play BF 2, and BF 2 has way more depth, great missions, great conquest mode, a ton of fun expansion mods... It's really good and you should buy. everyone should buy this game

 

I bought Bastion, Hacknet, The Talos Principle, This War of Mine, and Gravity Ghost on the first day. 100%'d Hacknet yesterday - really fun game, if you like that sort of thing. I'm replaying through Bastion over the next few days and getting to the others when I can just slump into some video games.

If anyone wants my second copy of Gravity ghost, let me know. Every purchase of it comes with an extra copy. If someone does want to buy it for the extra copy, I've heard if you buy it through Humble Bundle you get an extra steam key, and both of those generate an extra copy. Don't quote me on that though.

 

If anybody is playing XCOM, go to nexusmods and download their Long War mod. Expands the game to new horizons and its well worth the hassle of downloading the mod.

 

The Beginner's Guide. Hmm.

To add a contrasting opinion, I thought it was bizarre, and also not fun. It felt like a weird sort of therapy that I was providing to the creator by playing it, except that I had to pay 6$ to my patient rather than the other way around.

To be fair, it's not horrible. There was a 2-3 minute span on the "House" level that I rather liked. I can't say it's worth $6 though.

 

If anyone's from India, Elite: Dangerous is on sale for 100 Rs. That's like $1.50.

 

Out of curiosity, why does it only have 68% positive reviews on steam?

I've been looking at it, the trailers look interesting, but every time I check the page the % of positive reviews has dropped farther.

 

It is a fantastic piece of art, but it isn't fun. It's a heavy, ponderous, at times emotionally raw experience. I'm glad that I played it, but I know that I'd never be able to play it twice. In format, it's kind of like a cross between an indie documentary film and a video game. You as a player have to cooperate with the narrator to explore Coda's catalog of past games together.

It certainly isn't for everyone. I'm not even sure if it's "for me". Well worth $6 for something unique and short though.

Did someone made a decimal mistake there? It's $14.99USD elsewhere.

 

Because people are idiots. They want everything that Star Citizen promised now, even if they'll never get it.

Edit: in reference to E's low rating.

 

Some people don't like ED because it can get quite repetitive. If you are a trader then all you do is buy commodities, plot a route, sell your commodities and then rinse and repeat. If you are a pirate all you do is fly around in supercruise, interdict someone every 10 minutes and steal their shit. That said, I love the game as it just feels brilliant. Every time I exit a dock I nerdgasm, and every time I steal a traders cargo I feel like a badass.

The game may not have as many features as something like No Mans Sky (if it ever comes out) or Star Citizen but it does what it was designed to do: Be a good space ship simulator that isn't so complex that you getting bogged down in the minutiae (look at me, I used a fancy word) and isn't repitition a hallmark of every simulator?

I bought the game when it was discounted but I would happily pay full price for it, and if you do want more gameplay/features then you could get the Horizons DLC which is going to allow planet landings and exploration, ships that can be crewed by multiple people and ships that can launch other ships O ma gerd!!!1

When the Occulus Rift comes out I'm going to put hundreds of hours into this game RPing as Malcolm Reynolds.

 

Nah. Since Indian currency was introduced after ED:Horizons is available for purchase, nobody in their right mind would buy ED since ED:H already contains it.

So, ED was put up at Rs 200 ($3), and ED:H was put up at Rs 3960 ($60).

They can't change other region ED's prices which are already set because of people who bought it before ED:H is out.

Fortunately, once I bought ED for Rs 100 ($1.50), I got 25% discount on ED:H

@Iztiak, the game has such low ratings because of 2 issues. First is the repetitiveness @Dye was talking about. And second one is because of the whole ED:H Seasons pass controversy which pissed a lot of existing ED players.

Stay away from Steam at the moment, it's fucked.

Showing random people's store pages and such. People aren't sure what's wrong, but something's very, very off. I'd stay away and just not touch it until it's passed.

Like.. people are trying to log in and they log in randomly as someone else.

 

Heh, I got my own account, but the store is in polish. Trying to change the language just gets me an error message.

and then download my rebalance of Long War because there's a lot of really stupid and dumb and annoying design decisions in the base LW.


Also you should probably have finished regular Enemy Within on at least Classic first because there's a lot of stupid difficulty in LW by default, and you're kinda screwed if you haven't played the game much before.
