replace kairo and deadnaught with snakebird
if you REALLY like JRPGs, get trails. it's a great JRPG, but it's hard to get into as a first one i've found

If you like point and click adventure games, Snatcher in general, attempting to pour spoiled milk on everything you can, and references to Deadly Premonition, you should consider buying the bundle for ROM. Sorry if the bundle's already been posted, didn't see it yet.

What's in Humble edition of D4?

You can probably find tools online to solve them for you, if you're not good at math or just too lazy.

But it's going to be much harder to work on this on your own because collaboration is the key.

I'm just lazy. Wouldn't mind the game but I'd just regift it to my cousin who has been playing the shit out of JC2 lately.

I like the trivia giveaways though. They tend to be pretty funny.
 
DONGS MACABRE

Has anyone played The Forest? Thoughts?

I'm really into survival games (bought ScamZ Standalone when it first came out) and as long as it's playable, no issues with Early Access.

The Long Dark and Rust seem to be among the furthest along and polished.

The Forest is pretty good though, receiving constant updates.
 
Don't cut Trails!

I have enjoyed JRPG in the past...when they were on PSOne, i haven't even played too many modern ones recently except for persona 3, i think i'm gonna check youtube to see if it's well written and how much combat there is. Snakebird looks cool so maybe?

My first refund back in July. It was playable. I got frustrated because of difficulty. Didn't give it a second chance. I think it was the controls, and I had trouble finding sufficient amount of rocks and materials to craft shelter. There was a journal that gave you guidance. I'm not going to spoil anything, so I'll just say I didn't survive the first night. If you like the genre it's worth trying.
 
I'm getting my first refund, Wolfenstein: The New Order runs like ass on my PC, I tried some tweaks but it still went from 22 to 60fps every few seconds.

Not to make it harder on you, but honestly all the games you have there are good. I can vouch for Into The Gloom, NaisanceE, and Uncanny Valley. If I had to remove any, I'd do Dreadnaut and Kairo personally, but I hear Dreadnaut is good and Kairo from the bit I played was fairly enjoyable. XD;

A tough cut.

Kairo is intriguing, but NaissanceE is a much more polished abstract exploration title, so I'd say Kairo could wait until next time. My votes would be with keeping Trails, NaissanceE and Door Kickers at the least, though I'm not familiar enough with Into the Gloom or Deadnaut to speak for those.

Well Trails in the Sky FC is a 2004 game, so take that as you will ^_^

Your point is valid, between NaissanceE and Kairo, NaissanceE is definitely the better game. Fantastic atmosphere and variety (though the platforming bits were a bit weaker than the rest of it). Into The Gloom I would add if you want a very oppressive atmoshere horror game with some brain-twisting puzzles. The puzzles are tough but some fun ones, and the game actually scared me a fair bit.
 
Ok.. Got:

Binary Domain Collection
Hotline Miami
Monaco What is yours is mine
Guacamelee Super Turbo
Rogue Legacy
Reveal the Deep

I got three FPSs in Autumn so I thought I would spice things up. Did I do good GAF?
 
I'm so surprised by The Park. I'm a big Secret World fan, and hearing that this was a project of theirs made me think it would just be a short single player iteration of that game...very impressed by the actual product, feels like Ethan Carter with their sensibilities in tow.
 
A wild frost suddenly appears!

And you say, "Hey Frost! Where ya been?"

That's right, boys and girls, gather round while uncle Frost brings you more tales of actually playing games!

Not as bad as I thought it would be, all things considered. :)
The framerate was rather solid after all the patching and my upgrade to a gtx970. Mostly 60 with a few dips here and there into the mid to low 50s. The story was solid, the combat was similar but upgraded, just about what you'd expect. The season pass content was a bit light in spots... a lot of the "campaigns" are just a few fights/predator areas back to back with a few cutscenes... nothing overly involved. The stuff they just added yesterday was kind of nice -- a lot of free upgrade points too if you need them -- though they're also short; but at least they're available in the normal game as Batman. I was also glad to see that the crazy sets of DLC achievements had been toned down (there's a reason I have 100% of the main achievements for AC but not many if any at all for the DLC stuff... I just had no interest in doing the crazy number of challenges necessary consider how similarly a lot of the characters played there). One thing that bugs me a bit though -- my showcase shows I have 1 missing skin; it looks like it's supposed to be a Batman skin, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is... google returns a bunch of results that seem to indicate others have had this problem for awhile at various stages of the DLC being released...

Anyway, it was a good swan song to the series. I kind of hope they give the games a rest now, as I was a bit overloaded after AC and because of that it took me a bit to get into AO and now finally AK.
Congrats in finishing the game. How did you like the batmobile?
Is Dark Souls 1 worth? I got it and don't know if refund it :(.
It takes a bit of time to acclimate to mechanics and game flow. Give it a fair chance if you feel like it.
Controller is the way to go for Souls games. If you absolutely need kb/m, use this fix Mouse Fix
And my streak of getting special sale foils continues. Sadly worth next to nothing ( ._.)
 
The only Foil I remember being really happy about was one from Ys I. It was enough to fund me Ys I & II AND Felghana.
Prices just went to the shitter after that.
 
Does the 33% off Life is Strange season pass from humble bundle stack with the Steam sale, and if so does anyone have a spare 33% off thingy?
 
Damnit, I just found out I bought the Squeenix humble bundle twice. Can I just refund it? I bought it via paypal.
It's the BTA tier, paid 4 bucks.
 
Finally broke down and picked up Cities: Skylines. Been wanting it for a while, but just couldn't bring myself to bite. Then I saw it was another $3 cheaper on DLGamer, and now it's downloading. This better be as much fun as everyone says!

Is calculus cool or what?
D. Yes

Who knows what the answer is here.

1. First person present form of the French verb for “to go”.

Aller is to go, allez is presen tense I think?

2. Fuck huge animated images, these are so much better, yo!

Jif? Jpg?

6. I don’t know how much you guys know about history, let alone WWI.
But Aquaman led Canadians troops in battle here, and many died before he won.

Arthur Currie, but which battle?

8. This knight committed regicide, and fratricide both at once.
You need to find the last name of he who uses telepathy instead of guns.

Grey Knights from Warhammer 40k?
 
Any recommendations for a decent, inexpensive PC controller? I'm gonna be using it mostly for 2D platformers.

I was thinking about using my PS3 controller, but getting it to work with the PC seems like a pain. I have a wireless 360 controller too, but I'd have to get a dongle for that. Still, that might be a better option in the end.

DS2, DS3 or DS4 are the best for 2D games.
Don't bother with Logitech pads, the dpad in them is even worse than the craptacular X360 one.
 
im new to Steam and the trading card stuff.

should i sell cards or use for gems? What do you get in game booster packs?

Sell the cards or create badges. Sacks of gems can be bought for far less than what you would end up wasting by converting cards into gems.

Booster packs give you three cards. You can unpack the pack and sell each card individually or sell the pack itself.
