I reloaded a save to make Kassandra lie to her waifu and prevent her from dumping her.

This game is so huge...

Gotta laugh at the DF console threads with folks arguing over the most trivial shit, throwing out terms they don't even understand like LOD.

Bleh. I thought you were guaranteed to get something decent from TF2. The case I got was the war paint thing and definitely not worth the hassle over a couple cents.

Haven't loaded up TF2 in years, got some Prinny themed gear, an Octodad hat and some next to worthless Halloween shite.

I'm probably going to buy SC6 at some point anyway, but 2B would definitely speed up my purchase.

A2 would be better though.

I sort of like the idea of counting DLC as it's own thing if it's longer than one or two hours. I beat Horizon 3 back when it first launched and waited to get my gaming laptop to try it on PC and currently I'm playing thru the hot wheels expansion. Might give me motivation to go back and tackle dlc from past games I really enjoyed.

I mean for example Hearts of Stone could be totally stand alone with some changes. It has separate story and characters, quests and side quests, even gets totally new part of the map. But in the end those are only 2 "questionable" entries on my list so if it still bothers me after i finish 52 entries i will just find 2 short games and finish them to have "clean conscience" XD

I only added wow and hots after I had 52 "normal" games done lol. What a silly thing, but I too felt weird adding them before. In fact, I added wow twice (for Legion and BFA), fight me.

Hehe i actually counted Mirror's Edge Catalyst 2 so i thought that i finished more games than i actually did XD But when i was looking at the list again few days ago i saw mistake. Bigger issue i have is that i kinda finished everything that i really wanted to play and i am still missing few games to reach 52 XD I kinda meant to do RDR2 as my final game but God knows when i will finish that game XD I need to go through my backlog on consoles and PC once again to pick something for next week :D

I am always pumped for new games, but I rarely finish them.
In the meantime, I go back to Minecraft modded, Factorio modded, X3LU or Paradox games and play those fuckers for hundreds of hours.

15 years of Trackmania in just one month guys, let's hope that this will give us news from what Nadeo is cooking!

Hello everyone,

The 21st November 2003 was released the first Trackmania game. For nearly 15 years, many players have discovered the Trackmania series and met people, created and shared maps, skins, videos, websites, tools, servers, controllers, mods, game mods, titles, items, music, etc.
Many online and offline competitions were run. People became friends, some of them got married thanks to Trackmania and even got Trackmania babies ^_^

They are doing a contest and sending goodies if you want to organize an event or so. More at the link:

https://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic.php?f=526&t=44468

Feel free to create a thread if you want to

lol. Yup at this point I realize one a month is far more realistic for me.
It's totally doable if you don't do GAAS, and play some shorter games from time to time.
I mean, I'm at 51, and I've finished both Cold Steel games (85 and 92 hours), Chaos;Child (60 hours), Yakuza 0 (81 hours), and all three Utawarerumono games (30, 39 and 58 hours) this year.

This is probably my first year in 4 not completing the 52 games/yr challenge. I've been a fiend on multiplayer games, and that's taken a lot of my game time away from SP ventures. Maybe next year.

Beat Dishonored 2 again. Disappointed since the difference between high and low chaos was pretty meh.

I am Emily the Butcher. Lmao at Sokolov trying to moralize to me after all the shit he was responsible for.

How were the last 2 Utawarerumono games gameplay-wise? I only played half of the first game, the tactical combat felt ok, not great, but ok. I felt too restricted by the "plot" unit restrictions

World War 3 has had the most catastrophic launch lol

Didn't even get to try it out yet, so fucking disappointed, was excited to see the game in UE4 glory

Worse than what I experienced in Diablo 3 launch, the game just doesn't work for vast majority it looks like, total cock up by the publisher and developer to release it in this state and not expect this

And yeah what annoys me is how often this fucking happens and still every time everyone is so fucking unprepared lmao. I realize they don't have the resources of DICE but come on you can't even get into the fucking menu without a server connection, huge joke of a launch

I feel bad for them but they brought it on themselves at the same time to launch it like this and it will cost them a ton of good will for the game or whatever their plans original were

Bad outcome for all involved including the people who bought it like myself

You're missing Gwent standalone and/or Thronebreaker from the Card Game list, both are coming out on Tuesday for PC.

Get that trash Artifact out of here :P

This game's familiar....

It is on the list, what you're seeing are games that have Steam pages for them. Any that don't, among others, will still be mentioned in the final thread.

Decent, especially compared to the PC original, but nothing to write poems about.
Performance was abysmal on VITA though. Non-native and frequent drops into teens - luckily, 90% of the game is spent in the VN sections, which don't have issues like that.

Night of the Blood Moon was delayed until January 2019.

Also, two October releases that I don't think were featured in the last thread:
The Unlikely Legend of Rusty Pup - Puzzle
Lost Frontier - Strategy

Incidentally, Lost Frontier is a pretty fun Advance Wars clone. Good pickup for anyone on the waiting-for-Wargroove train.

Hey guys. I'm wondering if it's worth getting a i5 3570k over my i5 3550 for better gaming performance. I don't have much to spend now, and I got a good deal on it. My motherboard is a Gigabyte Z77-d3h rev 1.0 and I believe it would allow me to overclock it right? Currently have a Hyper 212 air cooler as well. What do you guys think?

I've been having a few hickups on games like Witcher 3 in Novigrad and Forza Horizon 3. Playing my games on a gtx 1060 6gb on 1080p in 60fps.

Of the upcoming games -

I'm interested in

Football Manager 2019
Resonance of Fate
Project Hospital
Farming Simulator 2019
Rimworld

But I probably don't have any time for them at the moment. Still playing AC Origins.

Theres a PC builders thread on ERA which would give you more answers. But taking a stab at it, if you could overclock to say 4.2-4.3ghz (thats probably the lower end) youd get 10% more performance in games where youre CPU bound. I think i wouldnt worry about it if it was anymore than $100?

Do you know if youre CPU bound in Witcher 3 or FH3, i know in FH3 its not very consistent at 60fps even much stronger GPUs and CPUs have a hard time staying at 60fps so it could be a wild goose chase.

I never had any performance problems with the Utawarerumono games on Vita. If it did drop into the teens i barely noticed because its turn based strategy. Not saying it doesnt have any technical problems, just saying dont let that stop you from playing them.

Yeah, a few times CPU goes to 100% on nearly all cores. I believe FH3 is much more optimized now than it was before, since my fps only drops when CPU is near 100%. You believe it would only give me 10%? Hmmm dunno if it's worth

I'm really enjoying AC: Odyssey. I was disappointed with Shadow of the Tomb Raider compared to Rise (even though I much preferred the setting and writing) but didn't play AC: Origins so I think that helps with Odyssey actually. I love the setting, a lot of the characters, and most of the gameplay and different things there are to do. The level gating was only harsh right at the beginning but since I'm exploring and doing side stuff (not even all the side stuff) I'm outleveling the main quest and a lot of the regions pretty quick.

Barnabas might be my favorite NPC in a game in ages, I want to be his friend IRL
