This FFXV fishing system is nonsense. I can't catch a single one! I just wanna feed this darn cat. I keep putting my bait right in front of the fish, reeling slowly, reeling quickly, stopping, they always lose interest. How aggrivating

I've been playing FFXV too, and that's the first and last time I did the fishing thing for the same reason, not sure if we're doing something worng, but it feels random if the fish bites or not :/

Literally just caught one lol.

Seems the trick is to drop it right in front of a fish, let the lure sit there, then to pull it quickly one way, wait, then to the other. Patience pays off. You'd think the game would explain that beyond, "reel in at different speeds."

Yeah, the tutorial just lists the mechanics of it, but not much else, and it gets tricky. Still, I don't have the patience to go fishing in games in general, but I wanted to feed the cat!

So basically to buy anything on steam I have to call my bank and (ask) let them know the near exact amount of what I am going to spend on Steam. Steam is a high risk site, who would have guessed!

Worst part is wallet money can't be used in combination with CC for me for some odd reason. Probably because there are numbers after the decimal as here we don't go below zero - just up.

Never had a problem with it, it's a very easy mini-game. For big and special fishes you need opgraded equipments, but to catch the first fish...no.

Boo. I'm assuming you're aware, but just in case you're not - CDKeys sell Steam Wallet codes, and they convert into your local currency, so if they're not on your bank's high risk list, it's a good way to go. Only downside is that the minimum wallet code amount is £10.

You cannot be safe: your subscription lasts till November, so it is even possible that a game released in May appears in one of your Monthly bundles. Your safest bet would be to buy a game which was released in the past two weeks. You could also only purchase games sold for less than, say, 7€ during sales, since they are unlikely to be included in a Monthly bundle.

Typically, these two are risky bets imo:




Is there some sort of spreadsheet somewhere outlining the relationship between Steam and Monthlies?

Shouldn't stop them from making a Crash racing game that plays like CTR though.

For anyone who has the Mummy Demastered
I have the game on GOG but I am concerned that it might not have gotten the same update that Steam and other versions got months ago (the Feb. update).
Does anyone know how I could identify if my copy of the game is the latest version of the game? Looking at the game's 'Details' tab shows that it is File ver. 5.5.3.38239
Is this the latest ver. of the game in the Steam version?

I decided to check in on Chasm. You may not remember it, but it's that Metroidvania that got Kickstarted 5 or so years ago.

It looks like it's finally done. They're now trying to figure out the best time to release it. Expect a release date soon:

So what's so good about Yakuza compared to things like Sleeping Dogs? I'm thinking about buying it as well as my friend who loves Sleeping Dogs, but he is even less sure that he will like it. And I'm already juggling stuff in my steam basket to keep my wallet from suffering too much.

I wouldn't really compare it to SD because there are no cars in Yakuza or typical open world nonsense in yakuza.
It's more comparable to JRPG's, but with 3D-Brawler combat.

Just to add, Yakuza games start VERY slow,, but once they open up, you'll be spending hours upon hours doing the side content and mini games that the slow start doesn't seem a big deal, esp. in future replays when you can skip dialog/scenes.

Titanfall 2 seems made with Steam Controller in mind, so obviously EA will never ever release it on Steam.

I finally bought The Division, which I'll try to start playing this weekend.
I just noticed they have monthly events that unlock exclusive rewards for the game and the upcoming sequel.
For this month, it's these:
  • Shepherd - Unlock the Base of Operations
  • Avenger - Eliminate 10 Named bosses in Manhattan, 10 in the Dark Zone, and 10 in West Side Piers
  • Deadeye - Complete all weekly High Value Targets
  • Hazard - Clear 25 landmarks in the Dark Zone
Is any of these doable, quickly, for someone who is about to start the game, and doesn't have much time available for the rest of the month?
Any tips?

thanks

Damn, Wikipedia has just deleted the page which I use to analyse Humble Monthly content. I should have parsed the info from isthereanydeal.com in the first place.

Might as well delete the whole Wikipedia until someone creates a machine to go back in time.

I'm sure Google still has it archived. Might try WayBackMachine if Google already cleared it's cache.

EDIT:
This seems to be the last snapshot:
https://web.archive.org/web/20170821063219/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Humble_Bundles
So, August 2017. Would just have to find all the Humble Bundles in the last year then.

It is okay because I still have the data archived till May 2018 Early Unlocks:
https://github.com/woctezuma/humble-monthly/blob/master/data/wiki_humble_monthly.txt

However, I was in the process of parsing the data for May, June, and July Early Unlocks, when the page disappeared. It seems the data which was put on Wikipedia cannot be retrieved. It is not a big deal, just a tad annoying to see the data disappear just like that. The people who had filled the page with info have basically wasted their time.

Almost sounds like whoever removed the page is bitter about missing some bundle since "couldn't go back in time and buy it anyway so what's the point".

For what it's worth, I used that page if not monthly, then at least multiple times a year. It was very useful and I wish similar page existed for all popular bundles. Well, at least internet survives a bit longer now that the page is no longer polluting pipes and taking space.

I've Deathgarden closed beta and this game is CRAP. One of the worst online experiences I've ever played, gameplay loop is so repetitive and boring, I'm not sure what's the point of all this and why would anyone bother.

Aaaand that is Firewatch done. I enjoyed playing it. It is really relaxing 3-4 hours with beautiful visuals and amazing voice acting. I just hope that their new game will be a bit longer.
