No, I haven't just deleted over 40 posts
The discussion about Valve and paid mods was getting fairly lengthy, so I've pulled it out into its own thread. It's now here:

Any recommended Let's Play of TLoU? I'm about to watch Christopher Odd's, I like him, but he didn't do it with the remastered edition. I don't think it can be that much of a difference, but still worth asking if there are more updated ones.

From the guys who made OlliOlli:

Now this is style. You can call it Hotline Miami side scroller edition, and Roll7 have impeccable controls in their games. I'm stoked for this.

Finally got to fight a manticore, and I didn't have to wait for the Witcher 3 Monster Hunter's manticore, the "Teostra" :ice:

P.T. is looked pretty damn scary. I am not a survival horror fan but I think Kojima could resurrect this franchise, I would have watched a playthrough at least. But it is not going to happen.

 

[Glaroug.531]

That is a shame. I watched the demo quite a few times......but with frequent skips and speedy alt+tab's at certain moments, haha.

EXPLOSIONS! :lol:

JC3 BABY!

Looking forward to it. The trailer needs more explosions though..

 

[Garrison72]

Holy shit, that looks amazing. I think Avalanche just might fill the role Volition did until they milked Saints Row to death.

Another update from Warhammer: Vermintide:

Suddenly had this come to mind watching that trailer (Just Cause 3).

Pretty sure I heard the sound of Michael Bay orgasming from across the entire nation when that trailer went live.

Looks like it'll be a fun game to not take seriously and just wreck shit. Hope this and Mad Max turn out well for them.

Did I just miss it last time, or Shadow Warrior update has a new mini intro? I'm testing the fresh Linux release from GOG.

What song is playing there in the beginning (small intro)?

Exanima released today on Steam Early Access. You can purchase it directly from the Bare Mettle store HERE and download a DRM-free copy from their site (which also includes a Steam key so you're basically getting two copies of the game for the price of one). They're having a one week launch sale on the game so it's only $12.75, which is a steal for how much content there is. For those who prefer to buy it from the Steam store you can do so HERE.

What song is playing there in the beginning [of Shadow Warrior]?

Can't find any video with that game opening. That song is in Japanese.

This may be too late... but I played TLoU on both PS3 and PS4. It looks better on PS4 but not THAT much better. Either one should do you just fine.

I also realized that it's tough finding a Let's Player I enjoy so the slightly lower graphics aren't the deciding factor after all (though I would appreciate it if Odd took the time to study the environments more just to let them sink in). I'm around 3 and a half hours in and it's a fun TV series. The Feels are strong in this one.
