I tagged Arkham Origins "Arkham Sh*tty"

[Joe Molotov]

Kinda random, but okay. Not sure the 10th Anniversary of Sudeki was anything that anyone was gearing up to celebrate, but there it is. It's got cards, so I guess that's something.

[Great Rumbler]

Unfortunately, the 10th anniversary of the release of Drake of the 99 Dragons came and went with minimal fanfare. :'(

Metal Slug 3

 My personal review of this game  

[Beezy]

Witcher 2 is really cheap on Steam. Should I get the first game also? Or should I pass on both and wait for the next game later this year?

[fistfulofmetal]

At least play Witcher 2. Witcher 1 has completely different combat that's not as fun and you can easily skip it. But Witcher 2 shouldn't be missed.

Witcher 1 has a better story, so you shouldn't skip it.

[fistfulofmetal]

you can read a Wiki or something

but play Witcher 2. If the lore and characters interest you, play the first.

[Beezy]

Thanks, I'll get 2 then.

[Fifstar]

I really liked 1, haven't played 2 yet.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Steam just added 9 euro to my account???

Thanks Gabe!

[Rufus]

Maybe you got a refund for something?

[Cerveza mas fina]

I would get a message about that right?

Edit - It must be a refund for Crysis 

[Eel O'Brian]

try steam in-home streaming on an underpowered gpu and spotty wifi, brehs

[Human Snorenado]

...is anyone else having issues connecting to Steam or is it just me?

[D3RANG3D]

I can't put my card on the market but that's about the only issue at the moment.

[Human Snorenado]

I was playing earlier, exited my game to eat dinner and do some other shit, and now when I try to connect it tells me that it can't get a connection. I've exited the client, shut the process down, and tried to restart. Same shit. Sigh.

[Human Snorenado]

Nope, seems to be a widespread thing. ugggggggggggggh

Tuesday Maintenance.

About 7:45 PM Eastern. Usually is back by 8:15.

[Human Snorenado]

THIS AGGRESSION WILL NOT STAND

...yeah it's back online

[D3RANG3D]

I guess there is a new rule is you have to at least have bought some cards or other shit on the market if you want to sell, gabe gots some 'splaining to do!

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ain't paying shit for pictures.

[benjipwns]

There's all those TF2 and DOTA crates that are like three cents. I think I can probably spare that to keep selling cards.

[D3RANG3D]

Well even if I wanted to it won't let me but either, but apparently it's probably a glitch on steam's end.

[benjipwns]

uhh thanks i guess

Sounds like a fun weekend

AssCreed 3 for 5€. Guess it's finally time to bite. Card money brought it down to 2.50€.

So, I got a 25% off coupon for Broken Age. Worth picking up at this price or should I wait for a proper sale?

Not exactly jumping at the chance to buy a half completed game but I guess I'll pretend they're mimicking modern day Telltale where they take half a year to put out an episode.

[Great Rumbler]

I bought Sudeki.

it's not a long game (between 2 and 3 hours) and it ends in a "wait for part 2" cliffhanger... what there is isn't particulary well done in regard of puzzle but it's decent from a art/sassy jokes perspective...

Thanks for the post, magus. Broken Age really does sound like modern Telltale game: not much in terms of puzzles but the writing and experience is good.

[Purple Filth]

I bought Sudeki.

You bought Colonial Marines at full price so i don't think you can do any worse 

[cool breeze]

Deus Ex The Fall (the iOS game) seems like it'll be ported to PC.

I played an hour or so on my iphone and it's pretty fun for a simplified human revolution.

I'll definitely check it out, especially since they nixed the IAP.

PSA: Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army is 75% off on Steam this weekend! Only $6.24 for the first and second game. If you haven't seen gameplay of this series yet, check it out.

It has probably the most realistic bullet mechanics of any game I've played, taking into consideration wind speed, distance, bullet drop, range-finding, elevation, etc. Pretty intense stuff. It also has X-Ray views of skeletons/muscles/organs as you're shooting them.

LEARN ABOUT HUMAN (zombie) ANATOMY, NEWTON'S LAWS, PHYSICS, AND BALLISTICS WHILE YOU SHOOT MANS.

Someone give me Yawhg impressions PLEASE

I PMed you my Yawhg impressions.

[magus]

Someone give me Yawhg impressions PLEASE

it's artsy as fuck, a monster is going to come in 6 week so each week you pick a location to visit between 8 different one and each location increase your stat so for example if you go dancing your charm increase but if you go hunting your strenght increase instead... after getting your stat increase an event happens and you have to pick between one of two choice's (there's a surprising amount of event involving leeches) which might further increase or decrease your stat, some event also ends in one turn to continue in another (for example in one event you shoo away a bard only to find he killed himself after being shooed a bunch of turns later) because consequence are artsy

after 6 turn pass the yawhg arrive and the town is destroyed,then you pick a role for each of the character you played with like "leader" or "woodcutter" and depending on your stat and role picked it gives you an epilogue about how your character survived the disaster or how they died horribly to post-apocalypse madness

a whole game takes like 10 minute's to play

HuniePop actually made it.

[archie4208]

Gaben confirmed on Reddit that Steam is moving towards self publishing.  Greenlight is basically a stopgap until Valve adds that system.

[hampster]

Its annoying how humble bundle keys (and I assume all keys) don't take the game off your wishlist. Gaben pls

[Rufus]

Enhanced Steam has an option to remove games you own, but it doesn't work. However it does highlight them.

[a slime appears]

I bought Broken Age finally thanks to that 33% off sale. Game is pretty good and quite wacky but it's pretty standard adventure game bullshit. You'd think with all that money they'd do something a bit more innovative?

I'm very early on so maybe the dual character stuff adds an interesting gameplay wrinkle. It's just an ADD simulator for me right now since I'm constantly swapping between the two characters.

[Great Rumbler]

You'd think with all that money they'd do something a bit more innovative?

The whole reason they got that much money was for them to be NOT innovative.

I get that Kickstarter is just nostalgia fodder funding but I expected more out Double Fine, I guess. Even Telltale's games are more forward thinking and they put shit out on time* and on budget.

* Unless it's Wolf Among Us! Nearly 4 months for a new episode, loool.

[Rufus]

He's not joking. That was literally the intention. From the Kickstarter page:

Over a six-to-eight month period, a small team under Tim Schafer's supervision will develop Double Fine's next game, a classic point-and-click adventure.

The given time-frame is just funny in retrospect. Schafer gonna Schafer.

[a slime appears]

Ohhh ok. I never followed the Kickstarter. I just saw all the news articles about how amazingly well funded it was and just assumed it was Double Fine's next big adventure game. Thanks for clarifying since that puts me in a completely different mindset. With that said being able to swap characters is really neat then. Still "classic" adventure gaming but it adds a neat spin.

Glad I bought it!

[Great Rumbler]

Actually, though, one of Tim Schafer's adventure games from 20 years ago had that same mechanic, except with THREE characters!

Metro Last Light finally dropped to below $10 today.  Worth $9.99 or should I wait another year in hopes of $5?
