Should've mentioned that the controller won't be for me I was at work so I didn't have much time to elaborate. I want to buy a controller and Minecraft for my girlfriend for our anniversary. That's why I need a gamepad for PC. I won't give her my DS4 because I need that myself :p Edit: Might have found one. Link It's available at Amazon.de for 15€ and seems to be a good controller for the casual noob that my girlfriend is my wonderful girlfriend.

Hope this means the first one's price will drop real soon

As the title says I'm looking for a gamepad with the following: preferably a similar layout to the DS4 (button and control sticks) bluetooth optional (usb-cable would be ok) not too pricey (max would be 15-20€, doubt something in that price range exists, but I can try ) Windows 10 compatible (do you even ask for compatibility anymore?) If anybody has experience with a good and cheap gamepad, let me know.

Happy Birthday

Made a tiny bit of progress with Divinity: Original Sin. Finished the optional tutorial dungeon. Took me 45 minutes, even though its pretty straight forward with only two fights... Tactician Mode requires a lot of thought. I love it Started This War of Mine: The Little Ones. You can read my first impressions/experiences in the dedicated thread. I'll start this up again once I'm done with this post. : peace: And finally...Crypt of the Necrodancer. Jesus Christ this game is difficult It took me about 10 hours to finish the first three zones. One zone left... But... Let me give a quick rundown about how the game modes work: You can do each zone by itself. I.e. complete Zone 1 and the run is over. This is how you unlock the other zones. You can buy items/upgrades which are then available in shops/chests during your single zone runs. Then there is All Zones Mode, which is self-explanatory. However, you start with all upgrades/items unlocked (you can find everything from the get go) but you only have 3 hearts at the start. As far as I know there are currently 10 characters in the game. I have unlocked 4 or 5. So, beating All Zones Mode with each character is something I will try to do. Aaaaaand (yes, I'm not done ) there is an All Characters Mode. Yup, basically All Zones Mode with every Character without dying at anytime... Gonna be fun

Hm, sounds terrible... Will wait for reviews and impressions then.

Just gave this a quick go to get used to the controls. Looks absolutely beautiful. I love the art. Will start a new game later today and see what this game is all about : peace: Edit: Wow...This War of Mine plays with your conscience. Here's a little something that happened to me: I started a new game. Three guys in a destroyed home, working together trying to survive. Figured I should build two beds, so I did that. At night I scavenged a vacant house. Next day I realised that I needed food because everyone was hungry. So that night I went to a house. It was inhabited by an elderly couple... I needed food...so I stole it The man kept following me through the house, he was unable to do something while I was raiding his home for anything edible. He kept asking me why I did that... I just rushed through the house, trying not to feel too guilty...when I thought I had what I needed I just left... The next day everyone felt sad...and so did I Now I've survived for 7 days and am on my way to the supermarket which is occupied by the military. I hope I can steal some food there...or maybe trade...and I really hope I won't get shot...

Happy Birthday Ine Enjoy your day/weekend

Yeah, in the evening there are rarely less than 10 people of my friends list online playing a game or using certain apps like Netflix, Spotify, etc. For me it was the other way around. I bought a Wii U after the PS4. Because I thought: "Nintendo can provide me with what I may or may not be missing." As it turned out they couldn't. I only need one machine to get my gaming fix (two if you count the Vita), because Nintendo is no longer part of my gaming needs...it's rather sad

There are people who don't like Splatoon, Captain Toad and Wonderful 101 (like me). Those people want Metroid, F-Zero, Waverace, etc. No, I'm not a kid who wants everything. I want Nintendo to release new installments of my favourite games. That's why they've lost a lot of gamers (there are more reasons, of course). The WiiU has been the only gaming-related purchase that I've ever regretted. Literally nothing I've played on this system made me think: "Money well spent." I can't say for sure that it would've been different, if Nintendo released a new Zelda, Metroid, F-Zero. But with them being my favourite Nintendo IPs I'm pretty sure my opinion would be different..

Well, I've finished it (The Wolf Among Us) (including getting the Platinum) and I have to say: I enjoyed it. The ending was perfect for what was happening. Really hoping there will be a second season. Now, what next? Divinity: Original Sin of course. And I'll start This War of Mine: The Little Ones soon. Those two and Crypt of the Necrodancer will probably keep me busy for months. Edit: Restarted Divinity: Original Sin. Two reasons: 1) I wanted to see what "Tactician Mode" offers compared to "Classic Mode". 2) I wanted to break away from my favourite RPG class (Rogue). Here's how that went: I chose a Mage and a Fighter. "Tactician Mode" increases enemy numbers and enemies have more abilities. Case in point: The first fight on "Classic Mode" had three enemies. Easy. "Tactician Mode": 5 Enemies, first one threw a toxic grenade at me, second one killed my Mage, and the Fighter was dead shortly after I might restart to try a different combination. Mage seems to be good without changing skills/attributes/etc. Cleric sounds interesting. Heals allies and can fight. Might change one skill, though. Ah, exactly what I've been craving for: a good old RPG that requires a lot of thought Edit²: Yeah, Cleric was a great choice. Having a skill to heal is awesome. And he's a close-range fighter. Great combination with a Mage : peace: Thinking about creating a dedicated thread where I can post more detailed information about my journey and add screenshots throughout my playthrough.

I haven't even watched that trailer or read anything about the game. I know nothing Pre-ordered the game a couple of days ago and according to Amazon.de it was out of stock so it should've originally arrived in March... However, I just got an email saying it has been dispatched and is here tomorrow... I need to finish The Wolf Among Us today so I can play This War of Mine and Divinity: Original Sin : peace: Anybody else already got this?

Well, this will get me back to the game

Here's a run of Zone 1 I had today. Not very successful, but it might give you a bit more insight to what this game is all about

@Hero\-of\-Time You forgot to put this gem on the list for February:

Get Crypt of the Necrodancer instead. :p DO IT.

I've put GTA: Vice City on hold, for the reasons I've mentioned in an earlier post. Started Crypt of the Necrodancer on PS4/Vita. First thoughts are in the dedicated thread. The Platinum will be very difficult... Divinity: Original Sin arrived today. Just wanted to give it a quick go...it ended with me creating my characters for 1 hour and spending another hour with the first area...fuck me, this game looks to be incredible. As soon as I'm done with The Wolf Among Us (finished Chapter 2 just now; I like it, but not sure where the story will go...which sounds like a good thing, but I'm not sure if it is a good thing; I'm a bit worried that the story won't be as interesting as it could've been) I'll focus on Divinity: Original Sin.

This is provocation. This is what you should've just said. By the way: Aren't you one of those who complain that people always bring up the PS4 here?

March is nothing to sneeze at, as well. Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls Collection Alienation The Division Republique And then comes April... Dark Souls 3 Ratched & Clank and of course Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

I know, I know...I'm annoying. :p But this game is the TITS. It was released yesterday evening and I bought it instantly. I'm currently at my girlfriend's. I've started the game 2 hours ago...she played the tutorial...she played some more...and I have played once...once One of the few "new" games that she likes. Can't wait to play co-op mode with her on the PS4 : peace: It's amazing. For those of you who don't know what this game is about: it's a rythm-based-roguelike-dungeon-crawler. You can only move to the beat. Well, to be more precise: you can't do anything off-beat, not even use an item. The arrow buttons are for movement, L is for placing bombs and you can pick up items/scrolls/magic which you can use with other buttons. There are secret areas, shops, traps, cool enemies, chests, and much more... We've managed to reach the first boss but failed miserably Oh, it's gonna be a long night

This is out tomorrow. Hoping for it to show up on midnight, but not holding my breath. Pretty sure I will be the only one here posting in this thread/playing the game Listening to the soundtrack on Spotify as I'm typing this. It's glorious Edit: Nevermind -.- [tweet]693105842573307904[/tweet]

Wow, there are other people besides me who like Star Fox Adventures?

Still doing my body-weight-workout almost everyday Noticed some progress. I can now do 3 sets with 6 reps of wide-grip push ups. 2 months ago I couldn't do 1 set with 5...I find them much more difficult than normal push-ups. My goal is to be able to do a push-up-only workout in two or three months (4-5 different push-up excercises). (long term goal: one-handed push-ups). I also do at least one abs-only-workout per week. Need to do more for my legs, though. Think I'll try to find some excercises for a legs-core-workout. (long term goal: pistol squads)

With January at its end, it's time to award my GOTM - sponsored by @Hero\-of\-Time. Thinking about all the games I've finished it comes down to a three-way-fight: Transistor (PS4) Its presentation alone is incredible. The art-style is lovely, the music is awesome and the gameplay puts a fresh twist on turn-based combat. I'm glad I finally finished it and enjoyed every minute. Life is Strange (PS4) An emotional journey. Great story, cool characters (albeit sometimes a bit too cliché with occasional cringe-worthy lines) and good use of music. Tearaway (PSVita) One of the finest, most creative platformers I've ver played. So much effort has been put into making the Vita's different functions part of the gameplay. And everything works perfectly. After the recent uncreative and disappointing Mario-games this was such a refreshing platformer. And the winner is:

Never had a problem with the brush strokes. Well, I still stand by what I said. 3D Zeldas (except OoT) don't even come close to Okami.
