I wasn't a fan of them giving the game for free/cheap to playstation users, and then selling it for €25 on PC.

Sure, it hurt the sales on PC. For instance, I did not buy it until the game reached 15 € for the same reason. The free stuff for PSX owners was only for visibility purposes since it is their first game not on mobile.

However, on a purely objective basis, the game has a good art direction, good "gameplay direction", the devs are nice people and the game is really worth at least the meagre 10€. Watch this if you want to see who the devs are:

how many times can they make the same mistake, lol

 

[loganclaws]

Can anyone recommend me a good game with gameplay depth and a good story? No walking simulators or straight up action games.

 

[Rhaknar]

hopefully 3 times so I can finally grab it (or ask someone in the US to grab it)

the most vague of requests

 

[NegativeCero]

Huh, weird that they did it twice then. Luckily I jumped on that and I'm assuming that Rise of the Tomb Raider was an error too.

 

[Deques]

Two times at least

Another mistake:
I bought Hitman upgrade pack from Square Enix store for 10 Euro
The 50% off coupon that you got from their surprise box could be used on the already discounted upgrade

Way of the Samurai 3 fits that bill, you can complete many different story paths (and some of them are really good) and the gameplay is great as well.
Xanadu Next is another great option.

Xanadu Next has a good story? Seems like anime clichés at best? Am I wrong?

how is 7 days to die?

 

[MUnited83]

Should I buy Hitman Season 1 for $29.99....

Yes you should. Buy some copies to gift to your friends too. Some more copies to gift to random people on the street. Everyone needs to have it.

 

[Eila]

It's definitely not anime cliche story or even the art. Early to mid 2000s Falcom has very little of that. They started overdoing it during the late 2000s when they switched to PSP.

 

[level1]

I have a limited number of websites I trust to buy things from. CDkeys is not one of them.

Honestly, I find cdkeys to be just as trustworthy as GMG. Been buying games from them for a long time, and the only one time I had a problem with one of their keys I had a new functional one sent over in less than 5 minutes.

 

[Scoops]

Wait so the deals don't change every day for this sale do they?

 

[KainXVIII]

Seems like anime clichés at best?

Pretty much, seems like game a little overrated on GAF.

 

[chronomac]

Wait so the deals don't change every day for this sale do they?

Nope. Steam's done with that...unless there's some bonus discount for the winners of these awards (but I doubt it)

 

[TheLetdown]

Awesome avatar. What a killer, strange, record.

Wait so the deals don't change every day for this sale do they?

Nope. They just switch up what's being featured on the front page.

Pour one out for the old days.

 

[Tizoc]

Xanadu Next has a good story? Seems like anime clichés at best? Am I wrong?

Story is fine
The main grip of falcom games is the gameplay and music
Even ys oath has a pretty basic plot but is a sweet arpg

 

[Kurt Russell]

It's actually pretty good. I wouldn't classify it as "anime clichés"

 

[fireflame]

The thing with many AAA games is that if you buy before they release the "goty or "all dlcs included" edition you basically miss some content, hence i always feel the need to delay a purchase until the goty(fallout 4 for example)
No anime clichés with xanadu, just a very linear level design but that was not a problem for me.

 

[Tizoc]

It's actually pretty good. I wouldn't classify it as "anime clichés"

Even if it did have any cliches the overall gameplay anf lore of the setting is pretty good that you wouldnt even noice them
Helps that they did a great job with the localization

 

[Lombax]

I bought the PC version from Gamestop's website last week for $15.

The intro pack yes? At the moment thats $7.50 on Steam

 

[yuraya]

The third floor in Enter the Gungeon was so freaking crazy and funny lol. All sorts of weird ass enemies doing dumb hectic stuff. My entire time on that floor I was laughing until I died. Didn't get to the boss tho

 

[NeoRaider]

Life is Strange for “I'm Not Crying, There's Something In My Eye” category!! Don't make a mistake GAF!

BTW. That award is hella ugly.

If the writting is as compeling as the sunless sea, I'm in.

 

[Cosmic Schwung]

Full package. Second time they've made that mistake recently.

 

[ZSaberLink]

How is Tales of Zestiria's port btw? Just curious how the Tales PC ports are in general.

 

[Kickz]

Yes, okay.

 

[Ladekabel]

Played the tutorial missions of Hitman. I was throwing a fire extinguisher in someone's face while he was was shouting "I can karate!". Game is legit.

I didn't vote for it. I take it I didn't make a mistake.

So confused

 

[jshackles]

So confused

The devs are literally given a "this is where you disclose any 3rd party DRM that is present in your game to customers. If your game does not have any additional DRM, please leave this field blank"

And this is the result.

 

[Tizoc]

Bully crashes on w10 systems sadly
Maybe grab an ys game if u like action rpgs

Zestiria is a good port and has. A 60 fps fan patch

Sounds like my kind of game.

 

[Tellaerin]

Satellite Reign is 85% off? Is this a price error, or a legit discount?

 

[loganclaws]

So confused

Whatever the DRM is, this game is a masterpiece and you should get it. Small tip: In the beginning of the game, you get an RTS mission, this is the weakest part of the game and you have a dialog option to never get these types of missions again if it's not your cup of tea.

 

[Regginator]

Satellite Reign is 85% off? Is this a price error, or a legit discount?

Has been that since the sale started, so probably not a price error.

 

[NIN90]

It's legit. Been like that since the start of the sale.

 

[yoshizzle]

Bully is well worth it. There's also Life is Strange Complete @ $5.

 

[Cosmic Schwung]

It's already been in a Humble Monthly. Good chance it'll appear in a regular bundle sooner or later so it's not too surprising it's got a deep discount.

I dropped the game right after the moment i found out they're using Ubisofts patented Open-World recipe.

lol. I do a lot of work sorting through data that comes from forms like those. We've had to progressively move more and more fields to pre-filled dropdowns because apparently our employees with 4-year degrees can't read

[rdytoroll]

Yo what?! I just discovered Thumper after listening to the Giant Bomb GOTY podcast day 2. How fucking awesome does that game look?! This one goes on my wishlist

Looking for opinions on the following games:

Should I drop any of these or are any cheaper elsewhere?

Ori is good, really.

i'd go with child of light. i bought Ori because of how much everyone said they were enjoying it but i found it incredibly annoying and boring. visually it is beautiful but i ended up refunding it.

Both are great, so if you can afford the two of them, that'd be my answer. If it's only one, I'd go with CoL; it's fantastic and my 2014 GOTY.

Child of light is good. Ori is one of the best Metroidvanias I've ever played.

Ori is fucking amazing.

no no no

you guys missed the idea of my post

I was asking if Ori is good, as in truly good. I brought up Child of Light because people said it was good, but then I bought it in PSN and all I got was a crappy, mindless, really slow RPG and it seemed people only were wowed by the artstyle and never really played good RPGs.

This is the second time GAF failed me with a recommendation, ironically the first being another Ubisoft shit - Rayman Origins.

That's why I'm asking if Ori is a really solid Metroidvania on par with Metroid games or Symphony of the Night.
