I liked the base game when I played a free trial well enough but didn't get sucked into it... I also knew myself enough to know I wouldn't get into the game long enough to warrant a purchase.

You're talking about the Old-TSW base-game, I presume.

Anyways, I never bought the Old-TSW Expansions/Issues. Never bought the Ultiamte Ed or Complete Ed, either.

Regardless, I did time-sink some 30 hours or so into Old-TSW. Surely, I wasn't even close to done here. Basically, just got out of the first main + huge Kingsmouth zone. But, yeah - I really liked a lot of what was there, despite my minor issue with the combat not being spectacular. I just needed a bit of a break from it, after a good deal of hours w/ it. I unfortunately never got back to it, but probably should have. Too much other stuff got in my way that I bought + played those, as freaking usual.

I haven't opened allot of card packs yet, you do get a gold pack (with a guaranteed legend, I do believe) after winning each tournament, but the normal packs... I feel I get too many duplicates. (Each dup helps level up the character. Leveling up unlocks "moves" but I've not really see any change.)

All in all, I would say its still a positive but a lack of meaningful feedback (on shots), RNG card drops, and some lack of refinement means that there's still room for the game to improve. (Devs seem to be listening and already have more cards/players coming in a free update.)

i assure you there is no guaranteed legend in gold packs, just higher rate.

i'm very interested to see what players they add in the future. although i probably won't get to see them from getting banned for using a trainer to get unlimited gold packs :)

 
Combat in TSW is as fast paced and fluid as it gets for MMO style combat, just a step below actual action combat like in Tera or something similar.

Not really all that interested in the free to play version though. I'm glad Funcom is doing what they gotta do to keep things going, but odds are it's just gonna be a simplified version of the original, which admittedly had ridiculous difficulty curves and often forced you to party up to take down most late game missions.

I know they did a full overhaul of the combat and difficulty on the game a year or so ago, but I haven't played in ages. It's one of my favorite games of all time and I have a Grand Master account (lifetime sub, basically), but it's just such a time sink and late game stuff really takes playing with other people and I'm just more of a lone wolf in games. Awesome roleplay community though.

It works on the Inventory page.

EDIT:

I should say the selling stuff works on the Inventory page.

Things like auto-relisting cards runs on the Market page.

Yeah, I know how it should work, but for some reason it just doesn't work for me. Tried just about everything, gave up.

So you cannot play at all or just cannot play online?

(And, yeah, I guess you're right... My first gold back I got when starting the game "just" had two epics in it.)

Prey is delightful.

It cribs liberally from its predecessors (System Shock, Deus Ex, Bioshock) to great effect. The setting is wonderfully immersive. The recycling/fabrication system is totally engrossing, and a perfect addition to the hunting/gathering that is common to this type of game. The guns are satisfying and the implementation of stealth is decent. The music is fantastically moody. Low-gravity movement is awesome. In its early hours, it has a real survival-horror vibe. It is best played on a higher difficulty to enhance that feeling. The story starts out more interesting than it ends. It is somewhat predictable, but entertaining.

Very highly recommended, would fakey again.

The time for mourning is over. Prey 2 is dead, long live Prey (2017).

sounds like a 4/10.

System Shock? Deus Ex? Bioshock?
I thought you said this game was good.

I don't think I'll ever finish mourning the death of Human Head's Prey 2. I thought it looked well on its way, in the demos + previews we had known about for it. I'd still like to see this game happen, even if someone finds a way to release, rename, + re-tinker HH Prey 2 into some other new IP or something.

Why not?

It worked for True Crime: Hong Kong, which became Sleeping Dogs.

It worked for that BHG RPG that Ken Rolston + company that they were making for THQ (I think it was called Ascendant, IIRC?), which became Kingdoms of Amular: Reckoning.

And I still swear, to this day - Risen 1 from PB is probably a re-working of the original Gothic 3 expansion that they were supposed to do, which got cancelled b/c they got into a battle w/ their publisher JoWood/Dreamcatcher over patching the game + expanding it.

About Arkane's work: I still really like their stuff (Arx Fatalis + Dark Messiah) & love some of their games (Dishonored 1+2) - so, I am really looking forward to Arkane's Prey 2017.

I really liked what I played of System Shock 2 (never finished it); loved Bioshock series; and dug Dishonored - so yeah, this needs a price-drop for me to jump in!

That would be great, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Human Head is all but dead. They've been relegated to doing ports and mobile trash.

It's funny, I loved both those games. It's always nice to see things like that get salvaged. Didn't work quite as well for Deus Ex: Clan Wars, which became Project: Snowblind. It was... okay. And I'll never not be bitter about the total retooling of Dark Sector.

P.S. Tremorbros, RevU has a few easy 88 coin offers.

I dunno if Human Head or BethSoft owns the work HH did on HH Prey 2. Not sure if it'd be up to HH, Bethesda, or both on what becomes of whatever the heck HH had. That would have to probably be legally sorted-out first, if this was to be properly sorted-out.

If HH and/or BethSoft would want to make some $, maybe they could sell what they had off to another dev' to finish things up w/ a new IP name? Hell, 3DR's DNF got finished-up by someone else (Gearbox + Triptych), didn't it?

well, the latest one is only half finished, and half of 8 is 4, so...

8/10 4/10.

not a very positive score.

But the original Deus Ex is a masterpiece, IMHO. That game is a brilliant, finished work.

Also, I thought DE: HR was fantastic.

Deus Ex: MD could've been great - but, it lacks 1/2 to 1/3rd of the story arc. Something feels drastically missing here. Regardless, everything that was there - barring the way things wrapped-up, at the end as mostly set-up for the next game, of course - was great.

In regards to DE: Invisible War - good, but not great. Could've + should've been great, but it was too "consolized" + dumbed-down for when it came out. It ran like garbage on new PC's when it came out - but, that ain't an issues nowadays. More so than anything, though - this game so needs someone to make a mod for the Unified Ammo system to swap that out for real ammo for each weapon (i.e. like in most shooters). I hated that damn Unified Ammo system.

with the fakeybro talk of the Surge on this thread, I did a little digging.  Apparently the same studio, Deck 13, also made the god-awful Blood Knights.  They did a shitty, soul-less Dark Souls clone aka Lord of the Fallen, too.  Apparently, LotF did so well that the publisher has the sequel worked on by ANOTHER studio.  :drool:  I think I will wait for bundle

Deck 13 also made Venetica.

Venetica is a game I probably should've finished, but other stuff - i.e. bigger name titles that I eventually bought on sale, of course - got in the way + I never got back to it.

Venetica's a 3rd person action-adventure/ARPG. Combat's good, except for the fact that you can spam enemies + get them stuck so they can't retaliate like in the Gothic 3 versions before EE balancing. This can make certain battles, no matter how over-powered enemies are (or not), really freaking easy - as you can just spam attack-button all damn day.

I wish someone would fix or mod-out the damn spam attack issue.

I really liked the character development; story; plot; setting; environments; the cartoony art-style; and some of Venetica's cool abilities. Worth playing for all of that stuff, especially if you got it cheap in a bundle like this IG Bundle it was in or catch it dirt-cheap in a sale.

yeah, we got the last one from a monthly, didn't we? DLC, too.

Yea, but the big difference is last two times this game has released, the PC version had the DLC already included. This is the first version they've released the DLC separate on PC. Its still gonna plummet like a rock sooner than later though.

 
Is there an easy way to sell Humble Monthly titles?  I have no interest in Stellaris but I have a feeling the rest of it will be good...plus I can get another 10% off of Witcher 3.

 
Also, this game is on sale on Steam:

Sunset Rangers is a Western Sandbox in a random open world, with random events (from a simple hidden barrel to a giant worm that requires dozens of players to kill). In this dangerous world, you will need powerful guns, which are random too.

are there random zombie desperados? what about dinosaur bandits?

 
HAHAHAHAHA.

So I just got the Arma 3 Karts DLC I got from Tremor revoked.  fucking assholes.  Fully expect the base game to get revoked too.  I'll request a refund and then I'll have 8000 fucking useless coins to send on shitty IG games.  Should last me a lifetime.
