My bad lol, game autosaves frequently at least so as long as you don't make manual saves you will never know which one you're on :p

PC Gaming ERA | September 2019 - The Girls Are Back In Town

I actually kinda like Spiders games and I particularly enjoyed Of Orcs and Men. Like much of their output, Bound by Flame is basically pretty decent (not great, but decent) but be warned that the final boss can be an utter, utter bastard.
I would like to help you out, but there's no way for us to know where we rank, as we only get to see how many copies we've sold. The back end is pretty spartan :/
I tried to be hype for Greedfall during the months leading to its release but Steam era kept shitting on the game and telling me I was dumb for being excited for a Spider JankPG. Now with all the positive previews of the game I have become immune to its siren call thank to Steam era!
MRW someone say Greedfall:
lmao
game looks fun tho
I never shat on you for hyping it or being excited for it :xI tried to be hype for Greedfall during the months leading to its release but Steam era kept shitting on the game and telling me I was dumb for being excited for a Spider JankPG.

MRW someone say Greedfall:
There was supposed to be a AAA-VR game by Valve launching this year. I aint doing a countdown for that.
I remember a friend of mine being hyped for Bannerlord back in high school.
In the time since, I've earned a college degree.

Is this the same art team that was behind Black Flag and Origins? I've always felt these three games look similar. I never finished Revelations (too burned out by Brotherhood by that point), but I've always adored its art direction.This game :D
I hope Ashraf's team gets to tackle Ancient China one day. I feel like that setting has the potential to be as beautiful as these three. I also keep meaning to check up on Ashraf's interviews because he's always been fairly open about what he wants to do next. Immediately after Black Flag released he was saying he wanted to go to Egypt next if Ubisoft allowed him to.

All of those games had same Art Director, Raphael Lacoste. He is global Assassin's Creed Art Supervisor or something like that but for those games he was Art Director too.
HLVR is out best bet :d
They didn't show anything at Gamescom, Pax, and TI. It's probably due in ValveTime.
You know I just recently realized that unless Valve's flagship VR game got pushed back to 2020 we're probably very close to the reveal of the game and the huge shitshow that's going to happen all over the Internet when people who don't closely follow Valve find out the next Half Life is going to be a VR game.
Doing a late night spotify crawl and I remembered that Bamco used to put out Dark Souls trailers cut to slow rock tracks. Sekiro(Acti) skipped the trend but I wonder if they will bring it back for Elden Ring.
I think this was the last one for the original Dark Souls 3:
God I hope we get something from ER soon. Can't think about trying to start anything currently, my mind is completely wrapped up in that game. Here's hoping we get something during TGS.
I found the first game much more focused and engaging but the sequel does not add enough new mechanics or things for the player to do but just rehashes the same loop from the first game almost step for step. Except this time the world has balloned to almost 3 times the size.

Im curious how you'll find it. I feel like the game is typical of many western open world games(or just open world games in general) where the gameplay outlast the content way before you even come close to clawing through most of it.

Loaded up, and cleared DARQ in one go last night (01:45). Pretty good game in the vain of Limbo/Inside.
Awesome, thanks for confirming that suspicion! I'll have to keep an eye on him. Hopefully he's art director for next year's Vikings AC =)
I'm looking forward to Green Hell and Overland this month.
Green Hell - Survival
Overland - Turn Based Tactics
And I'll try out Creature in the Well on Game Pass.

After 6 hours and many, many deaths I am beginning to think that perhaps choosing the "Hard" difficulty for Bound by Flame was a mistake.
Digging the enemy design (that fist Juggernaut boss was epic-looking, but I'm struggling to get the combat rhythm down, especially with Warrior weapons- doing much better with daggers.
The story and writing aren't particularly special, but they are all right. Spiders got this mix of Bioware and CDPRED influences that's virtually unmistakable. They want to have the Beware companions and relationships, but also just like every euro-jank RPG, there needs to be 5 menu screens, with not just incremental skills, but also "feats" (non-combat stuff), as well as crafting and inventory slots for each piece of equipment.
Also, the world is getting bigger compared to Mars: War logs, so their engine's clearly getting better at handling bigger areas.

I'm excited for the uPlay+ beta. I poured a hundred hours into The Division and enjoyed it, but D2 is so expensive, plus I don't want to play it for ten hours and be like, "meh." So being able to play it over a sub is great.
The thing I most enjoyed about D1 was playing it for a couple of hours every few weeks, which doesn't lend itself to a subscription service long term, and I own pretty much every other Ubisoft game I'd want to play.
So yeah, a one-month beta is just about perfect for me.

Same tbh. Though with Gears 5 coming out I'll be splitting my time. Hoping i can get all the gaming I need during the beta to at least know which games interest me.
I would never get subscription service for games. I hate them for the same reason i hate timers in games, i don't like to be limited. As soon as i have time limit there is sense of urgency to finish something, and when there is sense of urgency i can't fully enjoy the game.

Yeah. Ryzen 3 boosts are really overstated. "It may reach this for 1ms under specific loads with overtop cooling" kind of.
Yep, here's the video for anyone interested
iirc there are only 2 possible endings, if they both died it means you chose to save the children from being eaten by the crones. If you kill the spirit the baron and her wife lives but the crones eat the children. Up to you to say which one is the "bad" ending.
Apparently theres another where you kill the spirit before starting the crones quest
If you kill the spirit before starting the quest the crones still eat the the children but anna stays mad and baron takes her to a hermit in blue montains
The original games were nice adventure collectathons. The remake is bound to be visual eye candy much like CTR NF at least. It's the kind of game you can do each stage at your own pace exploring through them if you wish.
