Has anyone played the updated version of the Witcher 2 that incorporates elements from the Witcher 3's combat?

And no DRM so you cn play it when not connected, keepyour own copy and not worry about either service crashing or going bankrupt
[DOUBLEPOST=1377357275,1377356999][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, it's a sad day when there's a huge Total War sale, and I already own everything in the packs on sale. Everything. The Grandmaster Pack, the Master Pack, whatever. All except the "battles" games, but eh.
The Elder Scrolls: Arena and Daggerfall are free to download from the Elder Scrolls Official Site.
I'm personally not all that interested in them, but perhaps some of you guys are.

They've been available there for quite some time. That's some good vintage gaming.
While we're reminding people of that though, seems like a good time to remind people that the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy text adventure is free on the official Douglas Adams website.

Heh, I just saw it mentioned on Reddit, which is why I thought to post here. Didn't know they've been free for a while now.
Literally years, but it never hurts to remind people.Heh, I just saw it mentioned on Reddit, which is why I thought to post here. Didn't know they've been free for a while now.
It's pretty good, and always being updated with new things. It's about exploration and survival, and has a neat Tim Burton style art aesthetic. I'd definitely say it's worth $7
The new Humble Weekly Bundle is a pretty damn good lineup of games.
Fuck, a person could blow 5 bucks a week and never be without more new games than they could possibly play forever.
https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly
Europa Universalis 3
War of the Roses: Kingmaker
Warlock: Master of the Arcane
Leviathan: Warships
Dungeonland
The Showdown Effect
Magica
Crusader Kings 2
For 125 and over you get like 48 God damn games, but lets be honest, none of us are spending 125 dollars.

Also, 50 Greenlight Games are on sale on Steam.
The ones that immediately pop out to me are Euro Truck Simulator 2, Surgeon Simulator, and Gnomoria. Although I'm a huge Dwarf Fortress snob, so I'll probably be too elitist and hipster to buy and play Gnomoria.
EDIT: Oh, Rogue Legacy and Papers Please are in there too.

Already own too many of those. Plus, no cash. But really, own most of the interesting ones
[DOUBLEPOST=1377847458,1377847213][/DOUBLEPOST]How had I never heard of "Warlock"? it's in the Majesty world, which I like, and it sounds and looks like fun! Not "awesome super next big AAAAAA hit", but fun! Huzzah! Oh, and Crusader Kings 2 I'll probably love too. So, yeah, good bundle, and stuff.
That was quick.
It's not on sale per say, but it is for sale.
gog.com has I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream up now. The game is an old school point and click adventure where you take on the role of one of the last remaining humans on Earth, tormented by the super computer who brought about the end of mankind. It was based on a short story by Harlan Ellison, who also provides the voice of AM, the super computer itself. I don't even know how well this would play today. I have a feeling that it may be a smite too archaic for most people now.

Their promo video, I think, would have been better if they had left the "hate" speech intact instead of cutting it up like that.
"Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate."

Humble Indie Bundle 9
- Trine 2: The Complete Story
- Mark of the Ninja
- Eets Munchies Beta
- Brutal Legend
Beat the Average for:
- FTL: Faster than Light
- FEZ
Yup, I'm grabbing this one. I want FTL and Fez, and I'm curious how I'll like Brutal Legend. I loved Trine 2 and highly recommend it.

It's a good bundle, but from previous Bundles and GOG promos, I already own most. I think Trine 2 and Eets Munchies are the only two I don't have. I own Trine and haven't played it, so why bother with 2 yet, and the other's a beta, so pass. But, if you don't own some of the others, it's a very nice bundle indeed.
See, I think Brutal Legend failed because it tried to be an RTS too hard. The problem was that once the later battles started, if you even TRIED to fight as Eddie, you'd lose and quick. So you'd spend the entire match in the air until you needed to play a solo, then you'd do that and start flying again. So every story mode battle played the same unless you needed a certain unit for ONE task.
- Eddie's moves were useless because any time you used them, you weren't micromanaging your units.
- The Deuce was useless because anytime you were driving was a time you weren't micromanaging your units.
- Face melter would kill entire squads of enemies on it's own, meaning half the songs were pointless.
What needs to happen (if a sequel ever happens) is they need to shift from RTS and turn it into God of War meets DOTA/LoL. Your army still helps out and you can call for certain, specific units if you need them, but most of the action is focused on you fighting other big name heroes. This lets you use all of Eddie's moves, while still having that big army, heavy metal battle they want.
More Humble Bundle goodness:
Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter,
Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter,
Shadow Warrior Classic Redux,
Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition
Pay $6.00 and get:
Hard Reset Extended Edition,
System Shock 2
Interesting that it's not a "beat the average" deal this time. Still, though, six bucks for System Shock 2 is tempting.

Activision games for sale on Steam this weekend.
Prototype, Call of Duty, the Transformers games, and Deadpool are the ones that caught my eye, although without a daily deal the discount is only 25%, which is not all that tempting to me.

Yeah, that seems pretty ridiculous given the game's age.
La-Mulana is currently on sale on Steam for $3. This is a steal, buy this game right now.
La-Mulana is a metroidvania style game with a focus on platforming and puzzle solving, while surviving the deadly traps and monsters within a vast ruin. It's awesome, and hard. You will have to remember clues and find your way, it will not hold your hand.

It's an asskicker alright. It's seriously a game to play with a like minded friend. Two brains are better than one for a lot of the puzzles.
I need a break from brick hard 2D games for a bit.
You could play Dark Souls for a brick hard 3D game.
