No, but after playing fire watch yesterday I searched for similar style games and gone home popped up. I'll probably play it after I start and finish soma.

Has anyone in Europe made any experience with importing games from the US? I`m thinking about importing Persona 5 at release, but I`ve never imported a game before. If anyone could recommend some shops it would be great.

Haven't played Gone Home but i've played Firewatch and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture which I guess are the same genre. The latter was really really good.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #2208 on:** June 18, 2016, 06:06:27 AM »

I've heard some things about everybody's gone to the rapture, I should look into it a bit more.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #2209 on:** June 18, 2016, 06:18:00 AM »

I can enjoy that type of gameplay but honestly because the replay value is low it's hard to value it compared to a mp game for example. I usually only spend a couple of hours in total in a game like that and never pick it up again. Luckily they don't cost like a AAA game, yet.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #2210 on:** June 18, 2016, 06:33:25 AM »

I usually try and wait for those heavy story driven games to go on sale.

Has anyone played a game called Gone Home?

Played this over the weekend with my girlfriend. We beat it in about 2.5 hours and were very underwhelmed. Zero replay value as well. I don't know why it got such rave reviews.

I absolutely loved gone home. Extremely cool and engrossing concept and as a 90's kid, it really felt hit on that nostalgia nerve as well.

Yeah, the whole development of this game has been a mess, and the end result doesn't seem to be nearly as good as promised.

Atmosphere and story were what made me enjoy it. You never see any characters or have interaction, but the attention to detail and voice acting made me truly feel like I knew who the people were despite never meeting them or seeing them. The house felt lived in and the audio diaries were so well done. It was a nice mini escape for awhile.

Sooo.... anyone wanna play Socom 2?

I'm downloading Insurgency and the required mods to give this thing a test run. Oh man, I just nostalgia'd everywhere.

Steam sale!

I just got Portal (never played a Portal game), and Castle of Illusion, and Reaper was so kind as to gift me a copy of Rocket League. I'm not getting anything done tonight.

Which is no different to any other night for me, except that tonight it will be because of games and not because of naked Asian women.

Yeah, I've watched many videos of it, and it looks like a total blast. Can't wait to try it out myself, and hopefully play it with some people I know.

The game is really only fun when you play with people you know, playing solo just gets difficult because there needs to be teamwork to be effective. At least in competitive mode.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #2223 on:** June 24, 2016, 07:33:33 AM »

Added! I don't like playing any multiplayer game unless it's with people I know. For me it's more about the fun social aspect rather than beating strangers at a game.

You should also get Portal 2 while you're at it, since you'll move through the first game fairly quickly. The second I consider the better of the two, as the first is more of a proof of concept (initially available only bundled through buying the Orange Box). The sequel is where the concept really shines.

You can read more about the origins of the game here: Narbacular Drop

I was planning to at least play the first game in case it wasn't really for me, then if I like it, I'll grab Portal 2 while it's still on sale.

Nel · « **Reply #2226 on:** June 25, 2016, 12:51:51 AM »

If you play them back-to-back, Portal 1's length makes it feel like a nice little prologue compared to how much longer P2 is.

Team DTF!

I've put 4 hours into Rocket League so far, and it's even more fun and addictive than I expected. I got the Delorean pack for it as well, which makes it even better. I'm not very good at the moment, but I love it.

adace · « **Reply #2229 on:** June 25, 2016, 03:45:16 PM »

Mirror's Edge Catalyst is very solid so far. The open world layout and side missions are a nice variation on the original game. The visuals and soundtrack are both excellent. The story though isn't really that engaging.

I haven't tried TFC, and I sort of don't want to. But TF2 is awesome enough to still have a huge fanbase 9 years later, so take that as you will

You don't have to be good. But you'll get better by playing competition at your own level. I don't consider myself good (I have my moments) but I am really enjoying competitive mode. Apparently leaving a game is really a harsh penalty and they are super strict already on cheating so you end up with a pretty clean game.

I've never had the chance to play Minerva's Den or Burial at Sea so I'll definitely pick this up.

Scorn Teaser Trailer

This looks just so insane and awesome, nothing i've seen before in a game. Very H.R. Giger:esque.
