Don't suppose there is anywhere doing Oxenfree or That Dragon Cancer for any cheaper?

It's a shame. Game is very ambitious and mostly succeeds in ways no other game I've ever seen. Can only imagine their proprietary engine being the cause of it. Hopefully they either do a massive overhaul - I remember seeing in a recent dev video new shaders being teased, who knows, maybe there are general engine tweaks being worked on as well - or at least will use another engine/make a better, new one. Oh well, I'll get used to it.
Other than performance there is a little jank. Mind you, I was expecting a ton of jank since I read/heard of that in many reviews/videos on the genrral ArmA series but I must say I'm pleasantly surprised at the low level of jank. My main gripes being delayed hit reactions and animation + camera judder in first-person view. The shooting, driving and flying mechanics are spot-on though at a perfect mix of simulation and gamey fun. Definately no jank evident there but deliberate choice.
I might come off picky and whiny but as a whole I am enjoying ArmA3 a lot.

Eyy congrats on both!
Congratulations on your wedding!

Man Dragon's Dogma is a real time sink. Got a serious case of "just one more quest ..." going on with that game.
Thanks for hyping it up so much SteamGAF, wouldn't have picked it up else.
If he loved you he would've gotten you a Ti

I just found out Bionic Commando lets you uppercut dead bodies into the air and punch them at other dudes. This is hilarious!
u could do like family sharing with that account, maybe?
i think it's kind of pointless to wonder which game is "better"
Wrapped up Her Story.
Controversial opinion time: Not a bad game, but Christine Love games are better in every possible way and Contradiction is a better FMV offering.
I'd much rather have a tiered unlock system, like in Analogue. It's way too easy to unlock one of the ending segments just by getting lucky with the parser. :\
i like analogue/hate plus a lot better but i think the her story experiment is super interesting specially how they figured out how to limit the way you access the videos while still letting you to figure out things at your own pace. i appreciate that a lot as someone that might be kind of weird how i go about things lol
contradiction, eh, again, i don't think it's fair to compare the two
these are all cool games, let us celebrate them all
yea it was meant as kind of a joke but yea i agree, doto's dumb :>Too damn hard indeed. And that's okay.
To be quite fair, it's too damn hard for most dota players too
We're all just different levels of terrible at the game

But the point of the game isn't to get to the ending, so even if you see the ending segment, what's the big deal? The point of the game is to try to stitch it all together in your head. Even when you watch the ending, what does the game do? Sends you a message to say "Well, you've seen the quote ending unquote but honestly you should just keep playing until you don't feel like playing anymore just let us know when you're done". I got the ending well before I stopped playing.

Thanks everyone! It should be a nice upgrade from my 770 and now he gets that hand me down so it's an upgrade for him, too.
Can't wait to check out the witcher 3 with this badboy
I already got to terms with the fact Volvo doesn't make games anymore a long time ago, so I'm not surprised.

started Trine 3. it is just as pretty as ever but the semi 3D is a bit jarring to get used to from the others
Most hilarious thing is that anime "girl", isn't.
I know I'm gonna regret asking this... why, specifically?

Bad idea.
People will jump over to Overwatch. That's how online games work at launch.
Congrats man.
If you're referring to pokemon picross, it's pretty cool, but the f2p mechanics are pretty restrictive.
hmm I played quite a bit and just play it in spurts and haven't found anything restrictive... I just do a puzzle every now and then
Paint it Black is a timeless song, why wouldn't you feel hype over it?
Once I had to start unlocking new zones, I ran out of picrites really quickly. And it takes 10+ days of daily training puzzles to unlock a new zones.

...this is a silly question, sorry.
As someone who never cared for Picross, Paint it back made me want to get them on 3DS.
If you want a Picross-like game to play on Steam, then get it, if not at it's full price right now, do it on these things that Steam and other online Steam key sellers do called a 'sale' :V
I've been addicted to this game for past week since I started it and now that I'm almost finished playing it, I'm planning on starting the Cells games.
It's a really good introduction to the concept or genre, and I recommend it to anyone who is remotely interested in it. THe tutorial is superb and gets you up to speed on the rules within minutes.

One thing about XCOM - I can't play more than a few missions in one sitting usually. Just taxes the brain and I get exhausted.

Finished Death Valley in ArmA3. Now that's what I was looking for! So much fun. Going through the forest, getting in firefights in a narrow channel and finally opening up to a gorgeous village right at the sea
But of course not sightseeing instead searching for a UAV and laser-tagging enemy soldiers who tag us for mortar attacks. That was a fine piece of mil-sim.
But the biggest source of joy to me is finding a good youtube guide on how to enhance performance. There's some very unseen stuff but hey, it lead to 1080p/60fps with almost maxed setting and even higher view-distances than before. This is the video and I heartily recommend it to anyone interested in ArmA3.
Basically:
- get https://github.com/fred41/GimmeMoarFrames (needs PC user name and PC restart)
- get https://github.com/fred41/tbbmalloc_arma (copy-paste one dll-file)
- set these launch parameters: -noBenchmark -noLogs -noPause -noSplash -skipintro -world=empty -cpuCount=4 -malloc=tbbmalloc (cpuCount depends on your model, if you have hyper-thread support, you need to write sth else)
- get https://bitsum.com/parkcontrol/ (don't think it's needed tbh but if you use it, don't forget to enable "parking" of cores again once you finished gaming)
Much more hassle than it ever should be needed but I'm not complaining too much as the end result makes me happy
One day Death will win tho.
What if you become the first immortal cyborg in the world?
Happy birthday.
But I expect to reach 40 and have a heart attack while driving on a street full of criminals and shitty people and take some with me.
Thanks

Thank you very much ^_^

Not sure if it's been posted yet but there's a new mod for Insurgency called "Day of Infamy", it's a WWII overhaul with new weapons, characters and a couple maps, it's really fun, I've played a few hours of it and I've had a great time. All you gotta do is download the Day of Infamy Mod from the Steam Workshop and the 2 extra maps which are linked in the mods description, and also set your Insurgency game to the beta branch.

Yes, I'd assume 2 is following not too many months later.

i literally bought a vita (tv) for this but memory cards have been too expensive so i have not gotten around to actually, like, turning on the vita.
Please have a dual language option, please have the dual language option, please have a dual language option.

I'll check it out thanks.
Some of these characters' hair and that bear shows up in threads from time to time but I don't know what to expect. What to expect?
It did have dual language on vita so I can't see why it wouldn't have. That said, the dub is really good in my opinion. So people who prefer playing with english dub should enjoy the game just the same.
