Zarx are you buying enslaved?
Deus Ex: Directors Cut is buggy as hell. They like modified the non patched PC versions with the new content. Despite like 5 patches and optimizations. And introduced even new bugs.
Most of the changes are pretty cool, but I wouldn't recommend it at this point.
lol @hairstyles and jump.
Please excuse my bad English.

The Stanley Parable isn’t just another experiential, exploratory indie; it’s a love letter to and a daring critique of a trend that has both liberated and bogged down gaming as a medium.
Amnesia, Outlast, and Slender are the latest games to be played by Clueless Gamer Conan O’Brien, and you can watch his reaction to the three games below. As usual, it’s all rather silly, but all in the name of fun.
Ubisoft Quebec’s director of narrative design, Jill Murray, has said she prefers “juicy and real” when it comes to narrative involving female portrayals in games, and feels when writers are “trying” to portray them in a positive light, it comes across as disingenuous.
Kalypso Media has announced the release of action-RPG The Dark Eye – Demonicon for PC today. The game is available now via Steam and other digital distribution channels.

Amazon may have given away the release date for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, if the September 30, 2014 date is accurate and not a placeholder. The only date provided for the title is “sometime next year” on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Regardless of whether it is accurate or not, you can pre-order the game through the link – and if it is accurate, you know what to buy me for my birthday. It’s probably just a placeholder, though. Thanks, Evil Avatar.
Russian servers in RIFT are shutting down today, as Trion Worlds will no longer be supporting the localized version. Belver Online, the company responsible for the localized version, is offering players compensation via other online games it operates. The Russian version RIFT saw many players migrate to the Eruopean servers after the game went free-to-play, but the subscription-based model was still available in the region – until today. Trion has no plans to produce its own, Russian-localized client. Thanks, Massively.
Volume, from Thomas was Alone creator Mike Bithell, will star Danny Wallace and YouTube’s Charlie McDonnell, it has been announced.
The first few hours of Battlefield 4 for many folk will be spent hopping through the different maps to see how they will dramatically change. The Shanghai level’s set around a collapsing tower block, there’s one level in an abandoned weapons factory and the unexploded bomb it houses, and Flood Zone? Well that’s a city built below sea level. It sits behind a less than impenetrable levee.
A rocket or two, as seen in the footage below, will send it crashing down and water will pour through.
Blizzard have dropped a ton of knowledge about the new artisan coming with Diablo III – Reaper of Souls. She’s Mystic Meg Myriam Jahzia, and you first encounter her in Westmarch. If you save her she will join Haedrig and Shen and offer her worldly knowledge to you, mainly in the form of enchanting and changing your clothes for you.
Well this is a blooming mess. The Fun Pimps, developers of 7 Days to Die, have been hit with a DMCA notice, their Greenlight page has been taken down and they are now in a legal tango with Tripwire Interactive, creators of Killing Floor. All this appears to be down to communication problems, with both The Fun Pimps and Tripwire Interactive being victims.
One of Tripwire's models from Killing Floor was stolen, repainted and sold as an original asset on the Unity Store. While purchasing placeholder assets for 7 Days to Die, The Fun Pimps purchased the stolen model and use it in the game. Tripwire's lawyer - who calls himself a pet pitbull - got Steam to take down the 7 Days to Die Greenlight page after the developer discovers the stolen asset in game, and now the only person not suffering is the thief.
As if Klei's Don't Starve wasn't unsettling enough, the developer has just added a new horror mod, The Screecher. And it's free for everyone, which is lovely. Well, it would be lovely if it wasn't designed to make you soil yourself.
If you're tempted by the prospect of becoming a nervous wreck, but you haven't already picked up Don't Starve, you're in luck: it's 50 percent off on Steam right now. Grab it for a measly six of your human pounds.
SimCity: Cities of Tomorrow might not allow you to build actual cities, but it will be launching with a bunch of new regions for players to construct their tiny toy towns in. Four new regions will rise out of the oceans, all tailored around the new features being introduced in the futuristic expansion.
The maps will be available to all players for free, including those that don't buy Cities of Tomorrow, meaning that you can still play with those who own the expansion.
Team Dakota want you to sign up for the Project Spark Windows 8 Beta. Right now. Project Spark is Microsoft’s answer to Little Big Planet; it’s a game in which you make games. It works with both Kinect and Microsoft’s Smartglass app to help players build environments, create objects and people, and share these worlds with the larger community. Think Minecraft, but friendlier, and with more attention to detail.
With preseason 4 about to begin, Riot Game Systems Designer Alexander "Xelnath" Brazie details the developer's new approach to vision in League of Legends, making it "both more dynamic and less taxing on single players".
On top of this is the introduction of trinkets, a new free item with a dedicated slot, so "all team members can contribute to vision control without sacrificing other areas of development".

EVE Valkyrie has caught enough eyes to populate the world’s weirdest, most Halloween-friendly gumball machine, but let’s be honest here: we don’t actually know all that much about it. Yes, it’s glittering, glorious dogfighting with a thing that sounds amusingly similar to “Octopus” strapped to your face, but EVE is more than just a series of battles. Much, much more. It’s a universe of politics, corporations, and player-powered intrigue. The spaceships are nice, yes, but they’re only one piece of the highly fractured intergalactic puzzle – pawns in a game of blood and money. So where does Valkyrie fit into all of that? How will it integrate with EVE as is? Will we eventually be able to explore in first-person, or just exist in the universe as we please? And what about Dust 514? Where does it end up? I asked CCP’s David Reid, and he returned fire with the most potent space laser of all: answers.

If you are a connoisseur of modern-ish culture like myself, you’ll no doubt remember a moving, soulful ballad by the Backstreet Boys entitled “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart).” I can’t help but hear it every time I find a new trailer for splendiferous-looking rural city builder Banished, seeing as a) each brief glimpse feels like a cruel game against my heart, because b) my heart desperately wants to play this game, and c) na na na na na I should’ve known from the start na na na na baby oh. So, good news and bad news. The good news is that Banished is in its final stages of development, and Shining Rock has released a spiffy new video to celebrate. The bad news, however, is that there’s still no firm release date.
During its recent press event, Nvidia tried to illustrate the difference between G-Sync and V-Sync. As you may already know, G-Sync cannot be captured via regular cameras. Therefore, Nvidia claimed that a perfect V-Sync video (constant 60fps v-sync) is what G-Sync basically offers, even when the actual in-game framerate drops at 40fps. In order to showcase the huge difference, the green team compared the simulated G-Sync experience with a ‘real-world’ V-Sync experience, and PCGamesHardware was able to captured two examples from this comparison. Enjoy! Continue reading
Xaviant has released a new developer commentary video in which four gamers to playtest Lichdom.

Rebellion today dropped their first gameplay trailer for Halloween-bound co-op horror shooter Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 2. Showcasing more deadly new locations in which to face down legions of undead super soldiers with up to three friends, the new clip also teases some of the new enemies that’ll be terrorising players in the brand new campaign, including revolting new zombie and skeleton types and a devilish new boss. Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 2 is planned for an October 31st release on the PC. Enjoy! Continue reading

Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag drops next week, on PS3 and Xbox 360 at least, but those wanting the PC versions will have to wait until November. To give you an incentive for the wait, Ubisoft Montreal and Nvidia have released a video showing the card maker’s-exclusive effects, features and technologies, inherent in the desktop version. Granted you won’t have these effects of you own an AMD card, still, it’s rather neat. Watch below courtesy of Evil Avatar. Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is out worldwide on PS3 and Xbox 360 October 29 and will arrive on PC, PS4, Wii U and Xbox One from November 22.
Green Man Gaming has a sale going on featuring various discounts on Capcom titles. The sales is going on now through October 28 so you have plenty of time. A list of games on sale is below the break.
The Secret World’s Halloween Event is live and comes with 10 new Item Missions and stories spread across New England and built on local urban legends told by the Solomon Islanders. Players who complete the new missions and gather all the stories will be handed a reward from Danny Dufresne and the complete set of stories will be bound into an in-game book. The Cat God is also making a return for this year’s Halloween, which will see players heading off to Stonehenge to bask in the glory of its ancient form. New rewards and loot will be available along with new goodies in the Item Shop such as a Plague Doctor suit. The Halloween Event runs until November 8.
Blizzard has provided updated information on its World of Warcraft Connected Realms system, which will allow players in low-population servers to play with each other without migrating from their home territories.
Raindrop is a survival horror FPS with puzzle elements on Kickstarter seeking $144,000 in funding.
On my desk there’s a bag of Doritos (empty), a ruler (blue), a pint mug (Winnie the Pooh branded), and an egg timer (chubby Italian chef shaped). If I were in How to Survive I’d be able to turn those into a rudimentary howitzer.
I just tried to use the ruler as a catapult and it snapped. The egg timer is looking at me disappointed.

Blacklight developer Zombie Studios has yet another project on the go – the free-to-play, third-person cover shooter Phantom Army, which boasts a cel-shaded aesthetic with a 1980′s comic books and action hero vibe.
The non-profit Internet Archive’s been bringing digitised collections of historic documents to the web since 1996. Since 1999 they’ve been adding media beyond old books. This month they’ve added ancient games and an emulator called JSMESS allowing you to run them in your browser.
We knew this day would come. The day when we could finally paint our pistols pink and point them at a porcelain firing range. Counter-Strike’s gone full mod friendly. (That’s hyperbole: you can now reskin the game’s guns, not, say, turn them into floating livers.)
Speaking without bias, DRM (hiss! boo! get off the stage!) is a plague upon PC games. Therefore it is standard practice to hold up developers as heroes who decry it and demonise those that develop it.
I don’t really know where that binary system leaves us when it comes to developers that simply ignore it. Maybe we should give a high five to Deep silver instead of giving them a heroic piggy back.
Milton would have been proud. For too long folk have misinterpreted his poetic epic as a commentary on the Bible and the English civil war. It’s taken 345 years for someone to recognise it was instead about an alien plant falling to Earth and tearing apart the special forces team that secure the science lab its imprisoned in.
Where was Paradise Lost: First Contact when I was doing my literature degree?
Students are getting far too capable these days. There used to be a time when you could be confident in the security of your job knowing that you’d years of experience between you and the graduate working as an intern in your game studio. Path of Shadows shows that time is long gone.
While only a small project to show off their talents, Path of Shadows promises to be an excellent way to spend an afternoon.
Blizzard are busy bringing their players together, connecting low population realms to make sure there are enough folk to form raiding parties and sell their wares in the auction house.
They’ve connected 24 realms so far with another 20 in line to be joined together.
Samorost 3’s not due out till 2015. I get that out the way early because your hopes will become built up after you see the teaser below and hear the clarinet solo performed by Tomáš Dvořák. You may think you can couldn’t be swung by a small man dressed up in a mad little getup playing what looks like a vuvuzela sitting under a bulging onion tree but I was like you once and now, now I’m a broken man clutching for a beautifully painted puzzle game.
While bullets are nasty things that only serve to hurt folk, there’s something fascinating about how they travel in the world. The speed that something that small can travel at so quickly from a stationary position in a gun clip is remarkable. Also the distance they can travel and the objects they can penetrate.
Bohemia spent a good deal of time simulating that within their game, Arma 3, and there’s a new mod that lets you see the detail of their work.
And it only took Star Citizen 4 days to hit another million. On October 23rd, John informed you about Star Citizen’s crowd funding campaign hitting $24 million. Well, today I’m here to report that Star Citizen has just hit its $25 million goal. At this point I can already see Star Citizen hitting $30 million because… well… there is literally nothing stopping it. Continue reading

The team behind indie survival sim Roam has accused 505 Games of ‘blatant theft’ of its product, producing an alleged offer of publication pre-dating the announcement of How to Survive, which it claims bears uncanny similarities.
TellTale Games’ award-winning and best-selling The Walking Dead will return for a second season, and first details of the new episodes are expected tomorrow.

@Star Citizen increduble success: If they keep going at that rate, they should give the game for free to those who funded the game (at least those past a certain amount). It's amazing what they are achieving.

Backers do get the game over a certain amount ($30) and that is both access to Star Citizen and the Squadron 42 singleplayer missions. And if you backed in the first couple of months or during the kickstarter you got Alpha/Beta access. That is how these crowd funding projects usually work lol.

I don't know how this thing usually work, but the very few times I looked at one of these projects (2 or 3), the gifts didn't include the game. Just some merchandising and appearing in the credits.
But I'm glad to know that the ones who give what would cost the game are getting the game for free.
Please excuse my bad English.
