This thread is kinda moving like the usual Steam community thread, and I'm loving it.

Anyway, now that xmas is over, back to my 'anime' avatar. :P
 
Yo, a recommendation for those who liked/interested in Vampires: Masquerade Bloodlines.


BloodLust Shadowhunter


The game was made by one person (with a little help) over five years. The person in question is incredibly kind, as multiple people will report they would report an error or glitch, the developer would respond, release a patch to fix it the next day and then message to see if it was fixed for them, among other things. So supporting good devs is good.

But more-so, while the game is a bit rough around the edges, it is actually a pretty good hidden gem, and does in some ways scratch that Vampires: MB itch. It's got heart and some good execution, falters in a few places, but I've been enjoying it. Writing is good, as is atmosphere, combat is a bit clunky, but works. Has some old-school action-RPG aspects some may enjoy. It's not deeply discounted (25% off though was fully released recently), but going to recommend it due to the ambitious mostly successful game that's a bit of a hidden gem made by a good developer.

Here's some screens:

I really liked Vampires: Masquerade Bloodlines and this looks amazing. Added to my wishlist as I bought too many games on this sale already.
Thanks for the recommendation!
 
So with the humble monthly bundle, new subscribers get a free game from the last bundle. So wouldnt it be in the consumers best interest to buy the bundle every other month, so you get a free game every other month?

Could be wrong but I think you can get only 1 free game per account.

So the best thing would be to get it on new acc every month, but I don't know if they check for same payment method etc.

I think you two are confused, the free game you get is one from the last months selection, so the only benefit to canceling and redoing it would be to get a second copy. And getting it everyone other month, you'd wouldn't be getting 5-6 games from one of the months you skip so I don't see how that's anymore in the consumers favor.
 
I'm giving away some games because I won some giveaways in this thread. Thanks everyone for making giveaways!

How is Thief 2014?

I would say give it a shot if you're ok with slow, stealth games. I turned off all the "assists" and abilities and had a fun time playing full stealth, no kills. The game is chock full of little flaws and annoyances but the core sneaking and stealing shit is still sound.

And getting it everyone other month, you'd wouldn't be getting 5-6 games from one of the months you skip so I don't see how that's anymore in the consumers favor.

I mean, you get 1 game from the previous month, so for example if you buy this upcoming one you get PayDay lets say or whatever the free one from last month is, now I already have last month so I dont care about this game, so I skip next month. I miss out on the 5 games that are in it (maybe I want them maybe I dont), the NEXT month I go back in and get the free game from the previous bundle which I didnt get + 5 new games for February. So I miss out on 4 games from January that may or may not be worth 12$. Unless I am over thinking this lol

But that is the whole and exact point of them having the free game in the first place? It's supposed to be the hook that pulls you in for next month. You wouldn't be gaming Humble, they'd be gaming you.

I wish they'd give you one game of your choice from the previous bundle. I would have subscribed for (at least) a month to get one of the other games but I have no interest at all in Payday 2.
 
Finally bought the Humble Weekly

I wish they would have done a lot of things different. Next friday, will be my last month but the monthly bundle. The first was ok (I already had Valkyria) but the last one wasn't that good for me, I only liked chroma. The real problem is that i don't see how they can keep up with 2 or 3 good games each month, that I like, and its value is more than $12. I just don't see it, so I'm out after this one...
 
I really liked Vampires: Masquerade Bloodlines and this looks amazing. Added to my wishlist as I bought too many games on this sale already.
Thanks for the recommendation!

Damn! That's a good recommendation! I would have probably never appeared on my radar otherwise.
 
For the curious. I found it bland enough not to finish it.

So I've noticed that several DenpaSoft games carry the same rebates on the official site as they do on Steam (namely Sakura Fantasy, Swim Club and Sunrider Academy). Should I buy them?

So I've noticed that several DenpaSoft games carry the same rebates on the official site as they do on Steam (namely Sakura Fantasy, Swim Club and Sunrider Academy). Should I buy them?

Chariot told me that the Sakura games are awesome and essential for anyone with a Steam account.
 
How is Thief 2014?

Get Styx instead
http://store.steampowered.com/app/242640/
It's a game inspired by the OG Thief series

Styx or Dishonored are good modern recommendations.

The original Thief games are still very good, and have an excellent modding community. Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is one of the best stealth games of all time and have an innovative control system that allows you to control sneaking speed with Tue scroll wheel on your mouse.

Have you already bought and played:

Higurashi:
Onikakushi
Watanagashi

Long Live The Queen

Narcissu 1st & 2nd (free)

CLANNAD

etc.

if not, you shouldn't pick worst over the best

at least I'd like people to pick the best, for their an my sake!

That's not funny, you know

Unless I am misunderstanding, but I believe the free game is only offered to new subscribers, not returning subscribers
 
I generally avoid buying games on Steam if I can get them somewhere else. Steam store defaults to euros, as opposed to the likes of GOG (or several official game sites) which makes their marketplace more expensive on average. Since I'm not in an Eurozone country, I prefer going for the cheaper exchange currency.
