There is negativity towards Bastion?! The games been out so long and is a classic, why would anyone want to hate on it now?

It hasn't eaten any of my savegames yet either, yet cloud sync fucking up has lot me a few saves on Steam... Anecdotal experiences are weird.
Not everyone feels that the so-called improvements in AC were even improvements to begin with.
I thought Bastion was a good game too and I really liked Transistor. Transistor's battle system really sets it above Bastion. It's just so versatile and such a wonderful design all around. Otherwise they're pretty equal I think.
I remember there was a gaffer trading and selling games on reddit among other sites. I wont reveal name but tons of guys here know who it was.
I still think modbot is taking a nap
God I can't wait til they finally get rid of GFWL.

Is there really an AK giveaway? Sometimes me never checking the pages I missed sucks, I guess.

With the fishes?
Its Bad Rats. Dont enter.
That javadots dude? Or there was another one?
I'd still like to know what they were thinking with that. Were they really expecting a repeat of the Xbox Live phenomenon on an open platform? You'd think a company that made their big money in the PC space would've understood that audience a little better.
There was another one. :s

Didn't even know that Unrest game existed until today, always like when I'm blindsided like that.
Oh man, javadots. Those were some good times :/

Doesn't matter what it was, probably not gonna bother anyway.

Well, I'm off to do my check-up. I'll see you guys later tonight. Enjoy the rest of your day/night everyone.
Good luck, man. Hope everything is good!
Thanks for the write-up. I was very interested in this game but kind of turned off by a lot of the impressions I've seen. I'm re-excited to check it out.

Someone tell me why I entered the giveaway for Sims 2 when you can get it for free right now anyway?

Another one. Got called out in the thread. Apologized and behaves correctly now.
Only you can answer that question grasshopper.

This is what happens when I go straight to SteamGAF rather than actually check the front page first, I guess.
Now the question is, do I uninstall the Sims 2 stuff I have from disc and install the Origin one or not?
Edit: ModBot is dead right now, so it wouldn't be edited.

I would unless you have a save file or something you want to keep. Pretty sure the free version is ultimate which includes all the DLC.
It was another dude. He apologized and gave back games he won back but obviously not everything. He seems to be acting good now so its ok I guess.

The original push was all about the cross platform play. Which they were thinking people would shell out money for on PC. It was a odd angle they were trying to grab PC gamers with.
Lol mine changes to Spanish despite chrome being in English.
Oh, that happened to me once too. I just dismissed it. With Steamguard you're safe, so don't worry.
So SteamGAF, where are the Risen 3 Giveaways huh? lol

Happened to me before, just click on your name in the top right and the drop down menu should show languages.

Steam is notorious for randomly changing the language. The top right bar click it and find English to set it back.

listen to the mad man
ModBot is back up, thanks for your patience. Expect it to take a few minutes to clear the backlog of work.

Try this link and see if it fixes it. You may have just clicked a link that had another country code in it. If not, just change your language to English.
Happens all the time.
Just change it back. I think Enhanced Steam can give you a banner to easily change. Otherwise go through the language settings in the top right I think.

Signed up to see if this was another way to karmically influence modbot, apart from buying the game yourself while the giveaway was running or signing up for your own giveaway
... I failed in my hyping.
Lemme just repost the podcast the writer of Unrest is part of that's mostly about Unrest.

I'm really tempted to make like a 10 Sim giveaway because of this, you know.So where are all the Sims 2 Ultimate giveaways for Origin?

I thought Super Killer Hornet was something else entirely and was wondering why it was on steam.
Milamber might know what I'm talking about.

In all my years of reading forum posts about the Arkham series, I've never seen anyone even attempt to refute that the gameplay of AC was a step down from AA. Even the game's biggest detractors have relinquished that the combat, the gadgets and the stealth/predator gameplay was objectively improved. Same with boss battles where even the worst in AC were better than the best of AA (whichever those were, they were all bad). Even if someone doesn't like the overworld being more open, simply having options as to how one traverses that option beats out only being able to travel on foot (as Batman) through segmented locations broken up by loading screens, hidden or otherwise. Being able to grapnel straight into a glide is an improvement over not being able to, and considering the overworlds of both games are of relatively comparable size (AC isn't GTA: San Andreas to AA's GTAIII), about as much time is spent getting from one end to the other in both games — it probably takes less time to get from one location to another in AC because of all the closed off areas and linear paths.
Considering that the most tangible aspect of a game is how it plays, it's weird to see people downplay the quality of gameplay when it comes to objectively assessing the overall quality of a game. Not saying Creamium was trying to objectively prove AA is better than AC, but even still. I'm curious as to what he values in these games because looking both at the components of each game and how those components come together as wholes, I find AA to be inferior to AC overall, even from story and pacing perspectives.
Well, I'm off to do my check-up. I'll see you guys later tonight. Enjoy the rest of your day/night everyone.
Hope everything goes well for you.
