I'm assuming the 5+ hours of new gameplay is the mini-campaign that was promised to us before.

How did I not know a new CK2 DLC had come out?!?!

 

It's called Conclave and I now own it

Looks like I'll get to use my little grey brain cells very soon.  This comes out tomorrow.

Is the murderer supposed to be different from in the book?  Just wondering if the game would be anti-climactic to one who has read the novel to then play the game.

I like the idea but they're asking a lot if they expect you to discern the feelings of those bulging eyed mannequins

Remember this is Poirot!

 

"Always I am right. It is so invariable it startles me. And now it looks very much as though I may be wrong, and that upsets me. But I should not be upset, because I am right. I must be right because I am never wrong."

I'm kind of wondering that myself.

 

Edit: From Steam forums:

The game is of course trying to follow the book as best as possible, but you'll still have to help Poirot through the investigation by searching for clues, linking them together and solving puzzles.

There is more than one ending and you can also collect trading cards and 50 achievements.

 

Just by the fact that we're talking about a game, you can expect new things!

Feel free to give us your feedback after your first playthrough!

I haven't gotten to the good craziness yet but I'm having fun trying to manage my council with them trying to block me or plot against me.

Still slower than I'd like, but otherwise it looks badass.

Mordheim: City of the Damned released 2 new recruitable units as DLC (one for the not-so-human warbands, and one for the human warbands). Oddly enough this info is not featured anywhere on the official website's frontpage. Thankfully Steam put it right in my face:

 

Globadier (for Skaven/Cult of the Damned): http://store.steampowered.com/app/434040/

Smuggler (for Mercenaries/Sisters of Sigmar): http://store.steampowered.com/app/434041/

[Lexx]

Damn. I really don't like the normal Warhammer, except for the skaven part. And the skaven in Mordheim really make me want to buy the game.

[Fenixp]

The chainsaw sync kills in new Doom look so irritatingly long

[ManifestedISO]

I'm sure there are other controller collector nerds, but I have yet to connect with one. 

 

Announced today, Uncharted, Dualshock 4, Gray Blue, limited quantities, March 11.

 

[Lexx]

Wait, there are people who collect gamepads? I already hate it a lot to just have to switch between Xbox and PS3 controller and then people buy all of them on purpose?

[Majek]

And they pay extra for special versions. :D I only buy one when i need it ( which is going to be pretty soon i guess, stupid COD running  abusing my left stick and L3 button) and  even then i try  get some discount.
 Anyway ManifestedISO do tell when you find this controller in stores, for the right price i may want it too.

Just when you thought piracy discussion was over:

Pirates stop cracking games to measure sales impact.

 

I can't tell if they're serious or just need a excuse to leave denuvo games be.

Wanna bet that before half a year is over some other group will crack it and take over. We already had this before with Starforce.

[Mamoulian War]

And I just hope, that no one takes over, and we will finally see at least some research how piracy affect sales. I am just tired, how everyone blames their incompetence to deliver quality products on pirates and used games markets.

How can they possibly know the effects of piracy from that? It's not like you can roll back time and see how a pirated game would perform without piracy.
