I agree 100% and been saying it for a while how people keep praising mediocrity. Oh well people will enjoy what they like and celebrate mediocrity often.

He reap billions from the same games he's been making. Who else can do that?
I guess that counts as 'achievement'.
There's a demo, should give you an idea what it's like

You may want to refrain from posting his Steam statuses in the future - proxy posting for a banned member is looked down upon by staff.
I already own it from Humble Monthly, just wondering if I should bother.

It's a good game. Arcadey, interesting bosses, doesn't overstay its welcome

The Talos Principle was pretty great. Some of mechanics lacked a little polish and the puzzles were more consistently good than really impressively clever, but still lots of fun and the narrative was surprisingly good. I knew the general premise, but didn't expect the computer terminal conversations.
Not sure if I'll jump into the DLC now or give it some time and pick it up even cheaper.
If you got it in the Humble Monthly a while back and haven't tried it yet, should get on that. Or just buy it.

A lot of games on my wishlist are discounted during the Lunar New Year Sale, but I'm currently trying to save money because of some big expenses this month. Grr. Westerado, Assassin's Creed Rogue, Galactic Civilizations 3, and Dead Rising 3.
I already know I'm going to break down and buy them all.

We have a thing for bad games in this here thread.
xcom 2 impressions after a few hours:
+ it's still xcom, the tension is still there, the gameplay loop of tactical combat into upgrades and base management into more combat is still there and it's still as awesome as ever
+ most of the new things seem interesting and add small layers of complexity that just make the game feel richer. choosing to use engineers to speed up building rooms or developing tech is just that little bit more depth, and it seems like everything got a little bit of that
+ i like the time limits and the little incentives to move around like loot and stuff. loot in general is awesome and i love how it's a risk-reward thing rather than just positive feedback at the end of a mission. i really like that
+ classes seem more varied and fun to use
+ i like the story and the setting so far, being in the resistance is so damn cool
+ seems less buggy than previous xcom, tho i've already had a case of one of my characters killing an alien through a wall (i'll take it)
- there's so much scanning, i guess it's there to give you something to do so you're not just idly waiting for the next mission but it's a bit overwhelming being given so many scanning options when they're not really all that interesting?
- framerate is pretty dodgy, i set the game to low so i wouldn't have to worry about fps and it still chugs when there's lots of fog or smoke. i think the game looks great even on low, but it should run better. loading times are a bit long for me too, and generally the ui feels less responsive than i'd like it to be.
- customization options are cool but it's kind of a tease. it's not a korean mmo and i kind of wanted a korean mmo lol
Bloodborne was robbed!
Surprised to see Syndicate at 10. From the comments I thought it was a pretty positive entry. I'll have to watch the video later to see what Joe says.

Played Wooden Floor and Wooden Floor 2- Resurrection.
Wooden Floor is a short horror/puzzle game in which you navigate through a house where rooms change when you close doors and hallways randomly. I had no idea what was happening in the story though, especially after finishing the game. Second one was pretty short in comparison and was missing some mechanics from the first one. It was more focused on the still confusing story and has multiple endings. Both games were fairly linear and most of the creepiness stems from the atmosphere - the dark house, creepy sounds, music, etc.
I liked Wooden Floor better with its focus around the room changing mechanic. Sequel felt like it was missing something, probably due to its length.

What are you trying to do?
Agree with all this. My aliens are two bars from completing the avatar project. All the black sites are on the other side of the planet.
How is World in Conflict?
Forgot the reason I wishlisted it, but someone convince me to pull the trigger on it ;P
Also is this the cheapest that Alan Wake Collection has been?
WiC is really good if you like small scale RTS's like Dawn of War or Ground Control (same devs).
- it has one of the best SP campaigns in the genre.
-the MP is good too but i assume it isn't too active and ideally you want a friend or two to make the most out of synergies. Also, i don't know how active it still is.

Dev doesn't see the need to support the PC version with console DLCs, just FYI.

So good, that we are crushed it never got a sequel
In fact, I was tempted to take the game, but if it won't get the additional dlc...I'll just wait its inclusion on Plus, since all indies will end here soon or later.

Played unreal a year or two ago and really enjoyed it. Interesting and sometimes complex level design as well as a good feeling of progression kept my enjoyment.

Thanks for saving me money. But it seems more like they just aren't bringing the DLC over yet rather than ignoring it outright.

AI War: Fleet Command is currently 3,39, and if you can stretch yourself a bit, then the full bundle with all DLC is 5,77. You can easily spend hundreds of hours with that game, especially with the DLC.
It is an asymmetric space RTS, with elements of tower-defense, in which you start from almost nothing, and your enemy (twin AIs) effectively has unlimited resources. However, the AI response to you reflects your own level of aggression. So you have to take out strategic targets, while limiting your acts of aggression to just those required to grow your resources enough to do so, in order to cut off the twin AIs that have your galaxy on lock-down, without pissing them off so much that they just crush you outright.
It's the kind of game where you frequently field hundreds of ships in a single skirmish, and the enemy AIs may send hundreds and even thousands of ships your way at a regular basis.

nah, there were some levels that were mildly maze-like but from memory it's one big environment with different themed areas throughout. I recall a temple area that had some tunnels and swimming that confused me a bit, the game rewards exploration with hidden goodies though.

By the way I made a small patch for my NeoGAF Greasemonkey script for picking up games from ModBot: https://github.com/petetnt/neogaf-monkeybot which should make it work a bit better
