Afair the general consensus was that Winter 2013 was an improvement over Summer 2013. Summer 2014 is a regression.

GAF I beseech thee for wisdom!
A buddy of mine is on the fence about buying Civ V: Complete Edition.. Trying to get him to purchase it while it's on sale. I love it and another friend of ours also likes it a lot. I can't figure out the best way to persuade him so I'm wondering if there's like.. a go-to video explanation or something that would illuminate what words cannot do for me. Like a short, succinct video that helps sell the game to curious outsiders. He's got some experience in the strategy/turn-based genre and recently purchased Endless Space - which he enjoys - so I figure Civ is a no-brainer. But he's a stubborn type that doesn't try new things that often. -_-
Peer pressure during the steam sale is just friendly nudging... right?

Yes. Very yes. Especially the Filth DLC if you're into cursing and juvenile things.
It's $1.70 extra if you didn't already buy the game. Skimp on coffee tomorrow I say.

Sitting here undecided on Outlast and Amnesia. Gaf, convince me one way or the other.
Check your friend activity for a screenshot illustrating the problem =p

Nay, you are not. The occurred to some on the Eurogamer forums as well that I saw.
This is the puzzle aspect of the game though, all about making your own underground world as easy or as difficult as you cause.

Then you'll have fun. Outlast terrified me even more when I was stoned. I couldn't go further.

Outlast is a thrill from start to finish, the ending was weird tho.
Yeah, but I was like "okay, this is the digging bit and I have to go somewhere, so I'll probably go up from there with a ladder, this being the tutorial."
Nope.

listen to the mad man
Bought Barbie on the first pink win, buying this on the second win.
May I recommend that you upgrade to the full family gaming pack?

It's really funny. The script and voice acting are b-tier, but that's what makes it great. And the game helped me earn 64WPM on a typing test last month.
I'm pretty calm, no worries. People who insist that utilities somehow shouldn't have a slot on community choices and that by being utilities they are automatically shit.... :lol:

So is Shovel Knight worth buying? Any impressions here?

I didn't like Anemsia but I liked Outlast. Anemsia wasn't scary to me, Outlast was. I'm a big horror fan.

I don't know, I thought the map was pretty clear that there was nowhere left to go when I got there. And that you shouldn't put yourself into an unescapable scenario. Have played the game twice (once on 3Ds, once on Steam) and never even considered that someone would do this <_<
MK can still be had for cheap in the Warner sale, but you have to buy 4 other Warner games along with it to get that price.
Painkillers and other medication might have impaired my judgement slightly =p
In my defense, they had an easy out for the first place they sent you to.
Last bump!

Okidokey, thanks.
and yet, still no flash on cook, serve, delicious. its depressing.
What happened?
If you're talking about A Machine For Pigs, I'd say "Get The Dark Descent instead, it's actually a much better game, and much scarier to boot".
Outlast is one of those Youtube screamer games they make specifically for Let's Plays and the like, but unlike Slender and Daylight, it's actually quite good. Dunno about the DLC, though.
It's been a flash.

Should've got it when it was a flash for $9.99!
If I hadn't looked up some guides I would had quit Dark Souls at the Undead Burg so fuck that.
I don't understand?

I've put about 3-4 hours into it so far. It is FANTASTIC. It hearkens back to old-school 2D platforming goodness like early Mega Man, but combines elements of such greats as Super Mario Bros. 3 overworld. It also has RPG elements with equipment upgradeability and various items you can use a la Zelda/Mega Man.
There's a good story to it though it's not the pillar of the game; the gameplay is where it shines. And the music... Oh my god the music. Godtier stuff there. I'm considering buying the soundtrack after I beat the game because it's just that good. And I personally never buy soundtracks for games.
I definitely recommend it! And congrats on becoming a full-fledged member.

I loved the game on the PS4. Absolutely gorgeous weather/water effects and the sailing is super fun. Still has the same problems as the old AC games, though. Terrible missions abound and the stealth in particular is hot garbage. Base combat can also get pretty boring. Still worth a go at $20, if just for the insane real world story stuff.
One word of warning, heard the PC version was really poorly optimized. Not sure if they ended up fixing it later, but if you don't have a great PC you may have some trouble.
One of the best games from last fall IMHO. No bullshit.

Guys, SpeedRunners is alive and well. He's just down about a lack of a front page deal. There was just a massive update last week that added 4 new characters and a bunch of technical improvements.

I think people underestimate how much of a culture shift D Souls can be for certain types of gamers.
