Garbage Day (EA)

Damn I've never seen Jaw actively telling people not to buy a game so passionately. It must be shit tier.

I don't know I first saw the game like 3 years ago when I was still working at gamestop and thought the cover art looks interesting. I'll listen to you then.

If you don't believe Jaw, how about the developer's own words?

"Hunted was doomed from the start. We had to jump through hoops every 60 days to "prove" we could do it or our company was going to be shut down. Nothing wonderful can come from being managed like that. I wasn't even able to focus test the game to get feedback. We didn't have control over many aspects and the whole situation became untenable. This kind of situation happens more than you know to developers in this industry"

I have found out that I really love starting up new games all the time. I'm currently playing Final Fantasy VII, Oxenfree, Life Is Strange, Resident Evil: HD Remastered, Undertale and now Yakuza 4. Really annoying that I can't stay focused.

Leftovers from the new Bundle Stars! Enjoy
 
May I recommend ittle dew? It's super cheap on the humble store. It's a short 2D Zelda clone with an emphasis on puzzle solving. There are multiple paths you can take to beat the game, and personally I really liked the parodistic humor.

Thankfully REmaster is a short game if you know where you're going ;)

That Daedalic deal has Anna's Quest (steam key) cheapest it has been ever, if you don't have another 4 games, unfortunately for me, I have.

edited: Zanzarah: The Hidden Portal too, so that's two cheapest ever games

For you.
Who recommended Suits in here again? Damn random battles are annoying as shit >_<
And I'm getting a bad feeling that the game requires some fair grinding (I'm already getting through boss battles by the skin of my teeth and using lots of items after about an hour of playtime).

Random battles and grinding are like 2 death knells for any RPG for me.



k, that's pretty fair anyway

Uh, you know you can escape any battle right? And the game doesn't really require grind except for a certain part where the difficulty spikes, and even then it's just 10 minutes of grinding which is hardly unreasonable.

some professional reviewer should tell me whether to buy this 20 dollar game or not

Transistor Collectible Figure 34.99 (Ships Worldwide)
http://store.supergiantgames.com/products/transistor-collectible-figure
*This figure is part of a limited run available only while supplies last.*
She's about 6 inches high, SGG told me on twitter. In the US with shipping you're looking at 40.99 total for her.

Honestly, I think this figure is terrible. Not that the figure itself looks bad, but compared to the art style of the game the face is completely wrong, and the entire style of it is just, soft? I'm not really sure how to put what I'm thinking but the one thing I loved the most about Transistor was the art design and this doesn't capture that whatsoever. It's like if a different artist was doing an interpretation of the character in their own style, which isn't at all what I'd want out of official merchandise.

Edit: compare to this image:

It's like they did a figure for some kid's cartoon interpretation of that.

No I didn't know that ._.

Where's the option for that?

Yeah.. that looks kinda bad. When I saw the words 'Transistor Collectible Figure' I was already mentally hitting the purchase button, but I think I'll save my cash.

Such a shame.
 
I really, really want the beta to come out so I can at least talk about The Multiplication. Not that I imagine that many Ubi reps skulk around here or can put two and two together and tie me to my Uplay account but better safe than sorry. But yeah I've got a big list of pros and cons so far.

....Which list is longer?

So I'm trying to use Shadowplay for the first time ever. Am I doing something wrong? Because it's not recording when I'm playing DDDA.

it's like ps4's recording i think? you press a shortcut to record the last 5mins, or you can press whenever you could using a shortcut

Because figure like that would cost you around $250.
