Will it let you drive normal cars in Moon physics?
That would be pretty hilarious
And too difficult for words

so Mechwarrior Online is charging $500 for gold skinned robots

I don't think I've ever seen a company fuck up the Free to Play model this badly

[joviwan]

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition and the sequel are on sale on Beamdog's website for $15 and $20 respectively.

[Losonti Tokash]

isn't $20 just the straight up retail price

when is the android version coming goddamn

[joviwan]

These prices are after a 25% and 20% discount, also respectively.

And there's no good answer for that.

[Losonti Tokash]

i legit did not realize bg2 had a price jump

but my second question was just a joke anyway since the answer is likely never

[joviwan]

Yeah, they're charging more for BG2. Which makes sense more or less, as it's a bigger, better, longer game.

I wish that were not true, but it likely is. I know the dev team is small, underfunded, and shat on, but even still, it takes them a while to get anything worked out, and it's been quite a long time now.

[Stofsk]

I would buy bg1 and 2 for that price except I am pretty sure the second I buy it steam will put it on sale for like $5

[RogueIce]

So, STO finally updated the WoK uniform, and now you can select ranks with it instead of being forced into a shitty Captain one. And the ranks (including aforementioned Captain insignia) actually look pretty good, with two colors you can select unlike pretty much every other rank in the game.

[Darksi4190]

Oh god no. Not another Steam sale. It's too soon.

[Manus Dei]

isn't $20 just the straight up retail price

when is the android version coming goddamn

There'san android app on the google play store that can play BG2 if you copy thegame resources onto the android device. It's pretty buggy and frequently crashes but it's playable. Also works for Icewind Dale, Baldurs Gate 1 and Planescape Torment.

I haven't tried it though. And I dunno how nice it'd play with a Steam install. Might be worth a shot.

[Losonti Tokash]

i don't own it and have never played the game, so if i got it i'd rather play a version that's designed for tablet etc

[Manus Dei]

Oh yeah for the first time playing it you definitely don't want to do it via a buggy hacked together port

Man I really want to dig out my disks and give it a try now

although I've moved house twice since the last time I installed BG2 so who knows where the fuck they are at this point

[Darksi4190]

Left 4 Dead 2 is currently free on steam. Not sure for how long.

[uraniun235]

lol l4d2 freesale was described by a goon as gabe newell leaving a lump of coal for his on-call IT guys b/c it wrecked shit out of the steam servers from everyone rushing to grab it

also gog damn:

[RogueIce]

"If it's free it's for me" I guess.

[Oxymoron]

So, "The Wolf Among Us".

Played it, finished what's out so far, liked it.


My only complaint is the control scheme, that is binded on specific letters on the keyboard to move the characters (WASD). Unfortunately, my keyboard is AZERTY, not QWERTY, and the game doesn't give you the freedom to set your own control scheme. So it's a bit of a pain in the ass.

Does "The Walking Dead" fail in the same way?

[RogueIce]

Unfortunately, my keyboard is AZERTY, not QWERTY

What kind of evil French sorcery is this??

and the game doesn't give you the freedom to set your own control scheme. So it's a bit of a pain in the ass.

I have never understood any PC game that doesn't let you do this. Seriously, WTF? Well, maybe in the dark days of the 80s and early 90s, but now? C'mon!

Frankly at this point I think it's inexcusable if a console game doesn't let you button map, as well. Sure, back when it was the NES and all you had were A and B, there was no point. But these days, especially with some of the games requiring you to install shit on the HD anyway?

[evilsoup]

I'm reminded of Transmetropoliton

[Losonti Tokash]

your first mistake was probably playing a game on a pc instead of something good :V

[RogueIce]

Console gaming master race?

[Oxymoron]

your first mistake was probably playing a game on a pc instead of something good :V

given I have one laying around and the simplicity of the controls otherwise,

I guess I could try using a 360 controller?

[Oxymoron]

I'm reminded of Transmetropoliton

what does, apart from the fact it's a comic with a noir aesthetic set in new york?
