don't think they're in all, i noticed it just now because there's a case of them in the woman's bathroom and none in the man's!

Huh. I haven't played in a long time. That's kind of funny, but I imagine it's pretty much random. Like, sometimes it's the men's and sometimes the women's? I doubt it's any kind of commentary on Remedy's part.

edit:

Well, you would need to reguarly visit both to say that with any certainty. This reminds me of Deus Ex where the game actually reprimanded the player for that.

That's hilarious. The original or HR? I really need to get back to both....
 
Zero Time Dilemma does an absolutely amazing thing that i can't talk about because it'd be a hardcore spoiler.

But it made me go

That HD gif though! Holy shit.
 
Just an FYI, it took about 3 days to get my refund back from Valve to my paypal for one of my purchases. That's actually pretty quick.

Now, what to buy with 7.49...
 
Mario Tennis 64 still the GOAT
Yeah, I've always loved Mario Tennis GBC, too. I also have Sega Superstars Tennis and Virtua Tennis 4 on the 360 and I love both of them. Wouldn't mind getting a good one for the PC. Tennis Critters (demo) and Game, Net & Match remain the gold standards on the PC for me.

Is the turnaround to Steam Wallet the quickest way? I've only had one refund and it seemed like it was refunded to the Wallet the very same day.
 
2nd regret of the sale: Dragon Fin Soup

This game has a very charming art style and in theory it should be good

but the reality is that the controls are weird and clunky (even in the options menu, oh my god the options menu), the UI can be annoying as well as the constant prompt about you being sure you want to every time you try to enter a house/step on a teleporter/talk to a merchant and the game still has crash to desktop bugs which were reported last year.
I spent 4 hours with it before hitting that bug. Now every time I try to to talk to that NPC to begin that quest, I end up at my desktop, with the constant reminder that I can't refund the game staring me right in the eye

I'd also add the lack of a proper tutorial to at least ease you into the game but, heh, at this point who cares.

i got this game free on PSN+ (PS3/PS4/PSVita)
installed on PS Vita,played like 30 minutes and uninstalled it.

garbage game,like most of the plus games.

===========================================================================

my first regret of this sale is

RWBY: Grimm Eclipse

clunky control,need a lot of polish.
it's just killing waves and waves of enemies.
i know it's an Early Access game,but the game look very pre pre alpha.
 
Rogue Legacy was great but it's starting to feel very grindy now. After the forest, everything destroys me in a few hits. It looks like they want me to start from the beginning with a fresh castle a bunch of times to get more gold. I don't really want to start from the beginning.

thats the nature of those games. you need to do "gold runs", basically just go for gold as much a you can and then die, usually you would clear tghe first level as much as possible getting everything since its the easiest.

yeah, they're probably random and gameplay kind of thing, just thought it's pretty weird lol

wireless TV is a thing in max payne!

 
Currently having in my shopping cart:
Invisible, Inc. 6.79€ (not sure about the extra dlc...)
Monkey Island™ 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge™ 2.49€
BioShock Triple Pack 2.71€ ( for Bioshock 2, best game in the series)
Minerva's Den 2.49€
 
I got $24.15 in my Steam wallet. Here's the two scenarios I was thinking of:

1. BioShock Triple Pack + Day of the Tentacle Remastered = $19.50

or

2. Mad Max = $20.39

I would still have money left over after both but I kinda feel DotT could drop more in price down the line.

What would you do?
 
I'm really confused here.

My dying light steam icon looks like the below, and it specifically mentions the recent expansion pack The Following.

Also, this page for Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition, says I already own it, and specifically mentions the expansion pack, and it's buggies.

The thing is, I don't have the expansion pack. At least I don't have the option as shown below. Why'd they go out of their way to make it look like I own the expansion pack?


Am I missing something?

EDIT: To be clear, I haven't purchased the season pass, or the following. I'm just wondering why it looks like my game should include the following now, but it doesn't
 
Bought:
realMyst: Masterpiece Edition (2014)
1979 Revolution: Black Friday (2016)
Kalimba (2015)
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor (2014)
Riven: The Sequel to Myst (1997)
Peggle Nights (2008)
The Room (2014)
12 Labours of Hercules V: Kids of Hellas (2016)

Regret:
I have to download 42 GB to play Mordor.
 
I played the demo for Lightning Returns on PS3 way back in the day and was intrigued by the combat system. The only JRPGs I've ever beaten were P3P and P4G and the only other I've put any amount of time into was Ni No Kuni, but that clicked with me somehow.

I'm not sure I feel like going through Lightning's whole "saga" and from what I've gathered, the story/characters aren't exactly great so my question is: am I missing much by jumping into LR? Obviously, if I like it enough to want to go back and play FFXIII and XIII-2, I'll have had some of the story spoiled but is that even likely to happen? Will I want to go back?

edit:

Oh, and another question. I'm working on building my son's first PC with him over the summer. Getting him to do chores for money, learn about savings and then going over all the components, what they do, etc. before actually buying the parts and assembling the box with him. I'm looking to get some starting games for his Steam account. He loves the Lego games so I'm grabbing some of those. Minecraft isn't on Steam (ugh) though I might get him Story Mode (he's watched his preferred YouTubers play through it already and thought it was really cool.) Other than those, I'm looking mainly for stuff we can play co-op that's all-ages or PG-13 level. (He's 10 but we allow him to go a bit above that.) I'd appreciate any help here, too.

You're still getting minecraft, right? Can add a grid icon to launch from steam and it's a must have as a coop game, especially if you can host a permanent server and maybe let some of his friends on

Bioshock Triple Pack gives you 3 good games, Mad Max gives you 1 mediocre game.


Option 1.

A friend gifted me Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. That's a (standalone) DLC for which I have to download almost 35GB.

I do my AAA gaming on Ps4 where the limit is 500 gb, plus I have a glitch where the limit is more around 400 gb. So. Yeah. Could be worse.

Oh yeah, definitely. He plays on PS3 right now and besides the general inferiority of that version, mods are a big draw and probably the single biggest reason he wants a PC. I've actually never played it myself, so I'm looking forward to it as well.
 
I'm forgetting a name of an Isometric RPG I think I own on Steam but want to check it's DLC that I think was supposed to add a lot of content to the game.
think it's similar to Divinity Original Sin and Wasteland 2. I think it was released 2014 or 2015.

I have no luck googling it or finding it on Steam :(

Pillars of Eternity?

I think it's just meant to convey that there are some enhancements from the Following DLC that got added to the base game. Yes, it's clunky and confusing and not at all clear that you still only own the base game and not the DLC.

Both Divinity and Wasteland 2 got enhanced editions added as separate apps.

Shadowrun: Hong Kong got a few epilogue missions added recently.
 
How does Pillars of Eternity DLC work? Is it integrated in to the main game or is it seperate or what? Is it worth it?

It's integrated into the main game. You can choose to explore the new areas after a moment in the quest fairly early on (being vague because of spoilers).

From what I've played, it seems to be worth it, providing you like Pillars. I've enjoyed what I've played so far, but I haven't had time to sit down and get back into it a lot yet.
