[Lord British]

Due to a lack of PC conversions I don't think that'll cause much uproar in this thread. But what do you mean by 'obfuscating'? I only played the demo of Bayonetta and didn't like much about it but played through Vanquish two times back to back recently and enjoyed it immensely. The gameplay was fast and fresh and while the story sure was 'adolescent' and silly it did fit the crazy action.

The focus on high-level play as a requirement for enjoying the game, basically. I like tough games but I prefer the stages/encounter designs to be the challenge, not learning all the moves/mechanics.

HL2 has become more wonderful with time. You people are broken inside.

I do not understand Half-Life 2 hate. That's like someone saying they hate a child's laughter.

 

[TheSeks]

I strongly dislike Half-Life 2.

I'm with you. VASTLY overrated.

Really enjoyed the episodes, though.

I didn't like them either. It's only when

Spoiler

What'shisface/"Eli?" died... Alyx's dad from that alien baby advisor thing

that the game started to pick up for me.

And then Valve didn't do shit with this for years. So...

 

[PandaPedinte]

I remember playing a game were you could capture the dinos and your charater had tranquilizer darts, it's a FPS but I don't remember the name.

HL2 has become more wonderful with time. You people are broken inside.

With all the HL3 hype I should play HL2 again and finally finish the episodes but I think I'm going to wait an official statement from Valve.

 

[Abomination]

I say Valve should go all out and announce HL3 during the Superbowl. yeah

Superbowl means nothing to me. Just put it on Steam store, and give every game in the store 75% off to celebrate.

Dino Crisis, was a boring game for me

Just flash a light across Gordon's face, fade to the title. BAM

 

[Ifrit]

I need to replay HL2 and the episodes, it's been a while

 

[Turfster]

Some more gamersgate deals.

• 70% off on Cognition Season Pass and separate episodes.
  If you like adventure games, you really can't go wrong for the 7.2€ they're asking.
• Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is 50% off at 4.5€

 

[Lord British]

So when can you even save in Volgarr the Viking? I beat the first level, quit after a while on level 2, and when I reload I'm back at the very start again. I can't be arsed with that sort of nonsense any more, I have shit to do. Seemed like a fun game, too. Oh well.

I have no objection to its difficulty, but come on, at least let me keep my progress. Even a save that erases itself on a reload would be fine.

I heard if you run to the left when starting the game that you will find the answer to your question.

 

[The Super Bob]

I'm tempted to pick up the Flying Bundle for ittle Dew after hearing all the good stuff about it from you guys but I really am not interested in any of the other games and to be honest I should really try to finish some of the games I already have before getting too many new ones.

Ah, the old school gaming, where there is no save points

 

[morningbus]

I thought that was The_Monk's tweets for a moment.

YESSSSSSSS!!!!

Thank you Monk.

Edit: Oh wait, it's Kojima! Damn.

You can tell it's not our The_Monk by the lack of his signature catchphrase, "Did I do that?!"

 

[Da DreadLord]

They should put it up for sale and give people the choice.

Buy HL3

OR

Have every game 75% off

 

[nacimento]

The best dinosaur game is Nanosaur.

You play as a time travelling raptor who can use guns and has a freaking JETPACK.

The best dinosaur game is that RTS, Paraworld.

 

[Cheddahz]

We all know the best dinosaur game is Tekken 3

 

[MMBosstones86]

more HL3 stuff today? Oh dammit...guess i'll see you guys in a few hours

Oh ye of little faith, Kojima just put up some Rising PC shots

Well those are good news, I can't wait!

 

[Storm360]

All this Metal Gear Rising talk reminds me of

Also, why is that picture so hard to find online? Only one result on google images which errored out, had to upload my local copy

 

[NaM]

HL2 has become more wonderful with time. You people are broken inside.

I agree but that's mainly because no other FPS has challenged it and as such the game stands as one of the greatest with little to no competition. Still in my view HL1<EP2<HL2<EP1.

[Blue Ninja]

F.E.A.R. is a fantastic read, props to RPS.

It really was. Still one of the best games I've ever played, so every insight into its development is just so interesting.

I'm gonna laugh my ass off when we plow through another generation of shooters with literally everything bolted to the floor.

Uuuuh, I'm interested in Hack Slash Loot. Above tiers are worth something or I just go with the 1$ cheapass one?

Shuggy and Tobes are fun. I own everything save the $1 tiers.

 

[derExperte]

I love Vessel and Cargo Commander is okay but both were in other bundles and cheaper on Steam. Only worth it if you don't own any of them but then it's a great bundle imo. Does aynone know what the mystery unlock could be?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Uuuuh, I'm interested in Hack Slash Loot. Above tiers are worth something or I just go with the 1$ cheapass one?

Tobe's Vertical Adventure is a fun little game, Shuggy is excellent and well worth anyone's time and money. I'd go with Tier 2. The $8 Tier ... Cargo Commander and Vessel have both been available way cheaper on other occasions, I wouldn't spring for it if I were you.

I bought the first tear (even though it doesn't mention Steam keys anywhere, I don't think) and there's nothing on my download page: No links to the games or Keys.

There's an unanswered message on the support board with the same issue as me.

Oh well...

 

[Copons]

Ah, thanks everybody but I'm sorry your answers are now useless as my gf just reminded me that she's earning not even a dime this month, so I better keep my credit card in my wallet or else.

If you scroll down you eventually get to the about section, where they say all games come with Steam keys.

Well, that's my interest (which was pretty non-existent) dropped to 0.
Speaking of bundles:

Well, they do say at the very top in the left hand corner:

Big Bad Bundle.
All Indie, All Steam, All Awesome. Starting at $1. Supports Child's Play Charity.

 

[Tenrius]

Whatever happened to TF2 items as a pre-purchase bonus? Haven't seen such an offer in a while.

No it's not, lying bundle.
The fact that they locked the games that everyone and their dog already got in other bundles in the most expensive tier is pretty funny tho.

Did Valve do anything for Steam's 10th anniversary? Just realized that came and went.

An activision 25% off sale.

I think cards are the new TF2 items.

 

[The_Monk]

I believe there was an amazing Activision Sale filled with amazing price cuts on their games fellow GAFfer.*

*sales were not amazing, at all.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Gunpoint had one, so they definitely still exist. But I think because it takes a bunch of separate work to certify TF2 items, they don't really have the throughput to be able to do it for every new release. Also I think that since Greenlight has really picked up they've tried to automate as much of the pre-release pipeline as possible so it's kind of counter to that ethos as well.

That text is not selectable, your argument is invalid.

A new OS controller platform

 

[morningbus]

I managed to do it. But then again I've installed Linux before.

Nothing, didn't even acknowledge it.

Are you implying Big Bad Bundle games are SteamOS exclusives?

 

[Tellaerin]

I was amazed that they only offered a -25% discount. Surely that's what you meant by "amazing", no?

 

[PandaPedinte]

Dino Crisis, was a boring game for me

It was not Dino Crisis, googling some Carnivores images looks like the game I played.

 

[morningbus]

Oddly enough, even though some of the games on there do have linux builds, they're not part of Steamplay. Vessel, for example, has had Mac and Linux ports since last year.
