I am sorely tempted to start playing this, each new update makes it seem all the more alluring. However, I also feel I may be cheating myself of getting the "full & complete experience" if I don't wait for release. :unsure:

Quoting: CFWhitmanThere is a sale at Fanatical, but today is the last day.

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunatly, when I read your comment and checked, the sale was over. Oh well, I'll keep my eyes open in the coming days if my luck is less than stellar today. :happy:

Great to see this game arrive (finally)! I'd like the chanse to enter the giveaway as well.

Currently, I'm playing through "Deus Ex: Revision" (also finally):wink:, so I'm in no immediate rush to start playing and since there is apperantly no sale going on currently, I'll wait and keep my fingers crossed.

Quoting: F.UltraTried Contradicion? Not native (but works great in proton) and worked extremely well for a FMV.

No I haven't. Though reading about the gameplay reminds me a little of "L.A. Noire", the game does sound interesting. Putting it on my wishlist. Thanks!

I think I'll give this one a try as well!

FMVs have a bad reputation but I have enjoyed or even loved most of those I've played: Phantasmagoria, Realms of the Haunting, Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within, Under a Killing Moon, Pandora Directive, Overseer and Tesla Effect.

So this is one special sub-genré that I'm very fond of.

Quoting: furaxhornyxI loved Greedfall, and I have been thinking several times about getting Technomancer... Makes me want again to consider buying it :smile:

If you liked Greedfall then you'll probably enjoy most other rpgs from "Spiders", Technomancer included.

My main issue with Greedfall was that since I'm a bit of a completionist, there was a huge amount of running back & forth over large distances to finish every single quest. There was that aspect in Technomancer as well but since I liked the sci-fi environments more, it didn't frustrate me as much.

This week I finished "Technomancer" and just today I finished "Cloudpunk". Technomancer was pretty good, I enjoyed it more than Greedfall and I wouldn't mind a sequel since the ending left quite a few unanswered questions. Cloudpunk was...okay, rather poor as far as gameplay was concerned but with nice environments and atmospheric.

Before that I finished "Yakuza 0", "Heavy Rain", "Disco Elysium" and "Ion Fury". So quite a lot of gaming this year.

Quoting: PhiladelphusFrom my point of view, I got the achievement—it's not my fault the game's bugged and doesn't recognize it. And while in a perfect world I would absolutely report these to developers, realistically some of these are never getting fixed. (Civ V, for instance, will never have its Linux port updated, and incidentally has a few such bugged achievements.) I only use it in cases where I absolutely, positively, and unambiguously met the requirements for getting an achievement, where it's 100% certain that it must be bugged (where people have sometimes even checked the code and seen that it's bugged). It definitely doesn't feel as good as seeing it pop up in-game, but at least I can finally rest easy knowing that I've got an accurate achievement completion percentage.

Yeah, I can agree that is a fair way to use it. Personally, it's not that I think using it in such a way is wrong at all, it's more of an "uneasy gutfeeling" kind of thing. :S::wink:

I have to agree that this thing feels like a pure "cheating app", even if in most cases you'd just be cheating yourself out of the chanse of earning the achievments honestly.

Even using it to unlock achievments that simply failed to unlock due to a glitch...would still kind of feel like cheating to me.

Like competing in an athletics competition where you win the highjump, only for the whole competition to be canceled due to a fire or something, no medals for anyone. So when you get home you put it an order to the "trophy store" to have them engrave a medal for you, that you feel you did earn, even though technicaly the medal will always be a "fake" not a real one.

Well...that's just how I feel anyway, any kind of cheating has always been a "pet peeve" of mine. But to each their own.

Quoting: EikeAnybody knows why not V and VII? They only like even numbers? :D

Not sure about "V" but in the case of "VII" there is already Exult that runs that game pretty well and improves on the original in many ways.
