I know they aren't for me I guess, but really? Another Zelda? Can't they make it, you know, anything else? I stopped at Zelda II but I guess to each their own. v0v.
Holy crap I am freaked out already this looks very disturbing http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-06-30-scorn-is-hr-giger-inspired-nightmare-fuel
Nintendohohoh, is this http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-07-26-nx-is-a-portable-console-with-detachable-controllers really a good idea. Ninentdo the habbit of proving everybody wrong but I dunno. At least it means that the WiiU won't be abandoned I love that thing
This isndeed something to be excited about http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-10-10-the-old-republic-latest-trailer-is-better-than-many-star-wars-movies
KOTOR was great, I should have seen the plot-twist coming but I didn't, right up there with Darth Vader's reveal in the movies.
KOTOR 2, a underdeveloped haste job with some very good ideas, complitely falls apart in the last hours. But being good or bad isn't as sraightforward
But this looks great, if it actually looks like this oh my

How's that? Do you mean the confusing area implementation/character conclusions? The main ending was quite good and entirely in line with the rest of the game thematically.

Dunno, had to look up what it was all about. Maybe I should give it another try once the restoration-project is done

Hint: it's about dialectic. 'When I left you, you were but the learner. Now you are the teacher'.
Or something. Great voice work too. (http://sortiv.com/?p=2227)
And the Restoration work is done AFAIK. (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=485537937)
Time to give it another try then. I realliy liked the ambiguity in KOTOR, good or wrong, you are basicly a vampire. Makes sense in that context to be evil as it just makes you stronger. Could never play an evil character in the first because it just doesn't make sense. I hope that in the next the 'good' choice can have horrible consequences, and you know it but you selishy do it anyway, your 'me so good' leading to destroying a planet something like that, just because you refused to do something evil

Transport Fever will be out on November 8th!
I just pre-ordered it on Steam with the 25% discount, and I usually never pre-order anything. :sweatdrop:
Really like all the improvements they made over Train Fever regarding track and station building etc.

Humble Bundle is now offering DIRT 3 Complete Edition for free!
http://www.autoblog.com/2016/11/10/how-to-get-a-free-copy-of-dirt-3-complete-edition-humble-bumble/
Oh, yes. Campaign map, too.

Also aesthetically speaking much superior to CA's mediocre trailers, which can be summarized as Louis XVI, Napoleon, random Japanese guy, Octavian and Attila looking at you like you accidentally dropped a glass of milk at them.

The Director's cut of Deadlight is currently free on GOG.com, along with some other deals.
You can't beat free. :no:
A lot of the Total War series and other CA games are on sale on steam.
Just read a new Metroid Prime is comming, awesome (old control scheme pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)
Switch is shaping up. Was sceptical at first but it's a nice little machinewith a lot of indie support
Wut? Doom is being ported to the Switch, that's pretty wild. The footage I saw looked very good, there is compromise of course it's locked at 30 fps but I don't notice the difference between 30 and 60 fps usually. Not a game I want to play on a handheld but awesome that that small thing can do it. I still curse nintendo for giving up on the WiiU so fast, really love that thing and they could coexist just fine, but it's impossible to regret buying the Switch
Got it, it doesn't look all that compromised really, it is of course but you don't really notice it when it's in motion, it looks great when undocked. Big wt.. I am really pleasantly surprised.
Switch :sweetheart:
It's a big thing to have Doom on the Switch, so I might as well post some more on it. Not as favourable as my initial impressions. It looks really good, can't say it doesn't. But it simply plays pretty bad, it's smooth enough with 30fps but you constantly crave motion control feauteres that are simply not there, aiming with the joycon would have made a world of difference itselve but muchmore could have been done. So would have been making use of the Switch's incredible rumble features, they are untouched and thats realy a shame, weird as they are Nintendo doesn't use it as a seiling point but the Switch has really cool rumble-features, it's disapointing that they aren't used better. There is rumble when shooting but nothing when walking so you fee like floating. That's the same for all versions but because the Switch has these incredible tech-features why not use it. Doom is a good game but you should want the other versions
edit, screw all that after a few adjustments it's really really good. Doom on the Switch, yeah it really is. I was so sceptical at first but it's the best version. It isn't but certainy the coolest. Controls REALY need to be adjusted to your liking though
Oh yay, Dark Souls remastered is comming as well. Would rather have Demon's Souls or Bloodborne as they are imho better but Dark Souls remains a masterpiece, really captivating, having it on the Switch will be fantastic, it's fast enough to run the more laggy area's, the ps3 coughed up some blood at times
Oh yesyesyes, Pillars of Eternity 2 is comming to teh Switch. That's the greatest thing ever that game is so good. The first was really mean to existing hardware, I wonder how the second one holds up om the rather modest hardwre of the Switch, it may be a very powerful handheld but it's not a very powerful console

Hello!
Maybe can somebody recommend me an interesting game? :)
thanks!
SOMA is really interesting imho, asks some deep questions. The gameplay could have been better, I recommend playing it on wuss-mode it is actually more unnerving

There's good stuff left on Steam that I don't have already?
I still have a few games that I haven't even touched and plenty that I began but didn't finish (or "finish" in some cases), I think most of the others can wait until the next sale when I'm done with my unfinished business. :laugh4:

And Google's Stadia is not doing too well...

Cyberpunk 2077 has been postponed (once again) for additional 21 days. The new release date is set for the 10th December 2020.
Anyone else looking forward to this title? As a fan of cyberpunk and film noir (go no further than my own nick) I am looking very much forward to this one.

There is no way my potato could run the game but I am definitely looking forward to it. I adored The Witcher 3 so I am eager to see what becomes of this one.

So... Netflix is going into video games. Just not the way you're thinking of, they won't be making Call of Duty any time soon. It's more about streaming.

So as you might know, the GTA Definitive Edition has been a bit of a disaster rollout, with numerous bugs and faulty code. But apparently those who own it will get some goodies.
Additionally, Rockstar has gifted everyone who owns Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition on PC the classic PC versions of Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas as another way to make up for the problems. It has also made these classic versions available, once again, on the Rockstar Store as a bundle.

Here I found a new game, Guitar Hero. I play this game for last 2 month. Playing in Guitar Hero Live mode, you will perform in front of an audience and see the horde of onlookers from the main individual! In the event that you are an expert - wash in the praise and love of the fans, play ineffectively - watch harsh mines. In Guitar Legend Live you will perform at various settings. You will play and start up the crowd in little clubs and on the gigantic fundamental phases of live events. Even You can play Guitar Hero on pc (https://guitarheropc.com/) also.
