Is it just me that find Bastion extremely overrated?

Try experimenting different weapon combinations, it helps spicing up the gameplay..

 

[PandaPedinte]

good morning steamgaf.

how's progress going on whatever it is you might be playing?

I'm waiting for Skullgirls to unlock and I'm near of the end from Cave Story+ but these sections are pure masochism.

 

[FloatOn]

Oh so I was playing some Divekick last night and it occurred to me that this is a modern version of Karate Champ.

I would have never even thought of Karate Champ had I not played it at this "barcade" a couple of weeks ago.

With that in mind people that are writing this game off as a cheap flash game need to have a retro flashback and realize that just because a game seems simple doesn't mean it can't have depth.

 

[Nillansan]

Great game. I've been meaning to do a new game plus for it and Mark of the Ninja. I might do that next month.

Go for it, you can really breathe new life into the game by invoking various gods in the Shrine.

Is it just me that find Bastion extremely overrated?

I don't really know about that. I am having a great time with it, the game feels incredibly polished. The combat is stellar, it really starts to shine when you try your hand at the various arenas in the game.

good morning steamgaf.

Just finished The Swapper, deciding on what to play next.. I may try to finish Rogue Legacy.

Then again, someone asked about Weird Worlds.. I may give that a shot and post some feedback on it.

 

[Divius]

Is it just me that find Bastion extremely overrated?

I'm on my first playthrough am finding the gameplay to become repetitive already. I'm trying to keep it fresh with new weapons, but there's still not much variety.

 

[maneil99]

That Rapture thread is awful, god.

Divekick is all about mindgames and although the controls are simple the overall gameplay is really depth and you also have all the subtle references to the fgc that can take a smile from you. Thanks for gift <3

 

[O Tavares]

Is there anyone from Europe in this page willing to play Castle Crashers cooperatively? If so, add me to your Steam profile so eventually we can play a few games together!

 

[Fuu]

I just went BTA on the weekly bundle, I'll probably check Amnesia this weekend and hope it doesn't fuck with my sleep cycle by making me wake up from nightmares.

I was perusing the Chinese Room betrayalton thread and I got under the impression they developed the first game, but it was in fact Frictional who did. I don't really care either way but it was amusing seeing that thread right before I got to messing with the dev/charity/humble slider.

There is apparently a new phishing scam going around.

From the Steam Group "Trader's Guild":

Hey all!

Seems like scammers are picking up with their scams.

There's this phishing attempt going about Steam as to where a bot adds you and says that he / she / it / thing has a friend that can't add you for some strange reason.

Following that, the bot will then paste the link of the supposed link of that friend via Steam Community format.

If you receive something like that. DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK. Chances are its a fake URL with very small adjustments to the words "steamcommunity".

This is the real Steam Community URL:
http://steamcommunity.com/

The one that I've been getting goes along the lines of "steamconmunity" instead of "steamcommunity". Other versions may also apply.

Hope you all stay safe!

Cheers
- Amber

Not sure if related to that, but still a good PSA in any case.

I am hyped for A Machine for Pigs, though.

Welcome!

 

[Robert J. Sullivan]

That Rapture thread is awful, god.

Honestly I think I'm done with internet forums. I thought GAF would be different but it's the same shit, different place.
I think I'm just going to look and post in threads dedicated to games, sharing progress/experience/help/feedback on a game is the only thing that I find "worthwhile".

Spoiler

Any resemblance between my first paragraph and Niko Bellic is completely random

 

[Fuu]

No prob haha, it was cheap anyway. It was just funny that I waited until the last moments of the bundle to raise the amount and there was a giveaway with the game right after I post about it. :lol

I'm not big on horror games but I'm hoping to enjoy it.

 

[droppedbear]

Oops

Thanks for those keys to Modbot, really appreciate it (got Burnout paradise with it) so thanks

Thank you very much for Amnesia. I was going to grab it in the Summer Sale but too much other stuff came up. Now to make my GF play it in the dark.

Dunno, I just noticed it towards the end of the trailer when the transmission seems to get interrupted. Maybe it's hinting towards some content they haven't told us about.

Also, the trailer mentions "there might be another force at work"... I kind of suspect Firaxis isn't telling us everything about what's on the expansion just yet.

Ohh that will be fun! What a game...At one point I had to stop playing it in the dark because I couldn't muster the courage to proceed. But GOOD horror games get me like that.

I really need to finish Amnesia before the sequal releases. That being said I don't know if I can force myself to as I quit do to fear the last time I played months ago.

So pumped for Lords of Shadow to be released on PC next week! Such a huge difference in performance from the consoles in that demo! I wonder if we will get an OT for the PC version this week? I would post one but I never have and don't understand if there are rules behind them such as content and/or if only certain people post them?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

It means that 2k is clearly the Illuminati.

Btw, anybody who plays Awesomenauts in this thread? I'm no MP kinda guy, but this one's awesome. Bursting with style and above all, fun.

Look for the other games OT in community, it can give you some ideas, it may look intimidating but once you understand what is needed it's pretty straight forward.

 

[Lasthope106]

good morning steamgaf.

how's progress going on whatever it is you might be playing?

Good morning, currently about 3/4s of the way through Deus Ex: HR. Having a great time playing through it. The game has some unbelievable production values and the attention to detail is insane. There has been very few games that compare to the denseness of the environment.

Is it just me that find Bastion extremely overrated?

I don't think so. It's a great looking game. It tries to do things in a genre that has needed a new take for the longest time.

Just finished The Swapper, deciding on what to play next.. I may try to finish Rogue Legacy.

Then again, someone asked about Weird Worlds.. I may give that a shot and post some feedback on it.

The last puzzle of the swapper was gave me a headache. Spent close to two hours trying to solve it. One of the best pc games of the year though. I'm also thinking about picking up Rogue Legacy, but I still need to finish other games in my backlog

Key points for castlevania thread:

-the game is now anywhere from 3-6 times the framerate of the original release
-the game is anywhere from 2-3x as clear thanks to the resolution

similar to Garshasp these points make it undoubtably better than all the gods of war except for ghost of sparta hdizzle,

Glad to be of service. And hey, my wife either doesn't care or hasn't noticed that I've gone over my monthly steam budget so that's a plus!
