(PCGT V) PC gaming is dead, press F to pay respects

[Ironhide]

Those FFVII images are like how I remember the game originally looking. Stupid strawberry floating memory.

If it makes you feel any better most of your memories are just made up or rough impressions of what actually happened.

And every time you access those memories, they get slightly less accurate.

Spotted this on the current Steam sale FAQ

During Steam’s Lunar New Year Sale, qualifying purchases over £5 will receive an automatic discount of £30.

Might see if they honour that.

Surprised this took so long, actually. He's not written much for them recently, and the articles he did write were flooded with barely repressed resentment at having to write about games, or at least games he didn't like.

Oh well.

Ive decided to do something new

also if you could give me a job that would be great

[Cuttooth]

Is that all the original staff gone then? I think Meer is off around the same time.

[Tafdolphin]

I didn't know Alex was leaving

So yeah. I think that's pretty much all of them, although in Walker's case his leaving might actually be an improvement.

I just posted this in the official thread but it's so strawberry floating on brand that I had to put it here too

John Walker's RPS review of the well received new Toejam and Earle game. He takes a game made for a specific audience, a game mainly designed to be played in co-op, and plays it alone, moaning that "no-one else would find it good anyway."

He then takes to the comments to argue and address every single person who even slightly disagrees with him, including one of the game devs.

So Diablo is on GOG now.

https://www.gog.com/game/diablo

Travelers looking for the authentic Diablo experience can play the game as it was in 1996, with period-appropriate 20 FPS SVGA graphics, and the ability to matchmake through the classic version of Blizzard’s Battle.net® online-gaming service.
For those wanting something a bit more modern, Blizzard and GOG.COM have collaborated on an updated version of the game tuned for today’s gaming PCs, which includes out-of-the-box Windows 10 compatibility, a host of bug fixes and high-resolution support.

The most voted game on the GOG.com wishlist, finally trapped in a DRM-free soulstone!
Return to the beginning of this dark saga, now in digital format for the first time ever.
Better value than Wirt's wares, guaranteed.

WarCraft 1 and 2 are coming at some point as well.

r8 my army boi

Not playing in the tuxedo. Why even bother?

Seriously though it is a great game, I need to go back and finish it.

One thing I didn't like though about the whole "Naked" outfit is that he's wearing so many strawberry floating straps it makes it feel like he's running around in some weird fetish gear.

Well at least he's leaving which is good, unless they replace him with an even bigger dickhead.

This is great btw. Combines the maps from Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat into the one game and it has this cool mode when every time you die it puts you in the body of a random NPC somewhere else in the world and you start playing as them.

[Xeno]

Oooo, I will have to give this a go as it has been a while since I played stalker.

It's a lot of fun but because all the NPCs are always doing their won thing getting into fights and gooseberry fool, you sometimes get spawned into one that's bleeding and near death. It's happened to me a few times.

Can just play it normally without that mode turned on though. There's the different cations to chose from and some are more hostile with others.
