I have all these games in my library that I've yet to play and I'm really tempted to buy Contrast.
You're doing it wrong, the game is still 15 bucks!

Yikes, sucks to hear that you had to go through that. If you've never played the PW games before though I think you're in for a treat. Had many a cozy play sessions catching contradictions, shouting objections.Well, I've suddenly started on an adventure game kick. Been in hell, thanks to kidney stones and surgeries to remove them and shit. I've found myself really enjoying adventure games while recovering and on these pain meds.
Been playing the hell out of The Wolf Among Us and Phoenix Wright. I should try The Walking Dead again while on this; never was able to finish the first episode, thanks to the blasted save game bug.

But that's money I could save for the autumn/winter sale so my backlog can grow even bigger!

Playing Skullgirls has pretty much convinced me that I won't buy any fighting game on Steam until I have two controllers so I can play locally with people that suck as much as me. Getting steamrolled on ladder matches is no fun.
Talking about controllers, DS4 or DS3? It seemed to me that going for a DS4 would be a no brainer for fighting games, but someone was arguing that the DS3 is a better fighter controller. Thoughts?
That d-pad tho.Is it seriously that hard/expensive to get a wired 360 controller for the PC?
I'm using a DS3 since I only have a PS3 and it's ok. I do hear that the DS4 works better with Steam. Skullgirls is a PITA on the DS3, though.

I am giving away 10 not-Steam keys. Not interested in the Dead Space series. Also I'm sad I got this bundle before learning my favourite game mode was removed in Burnout Paradise.
EDIT: Well, derp. If I want to share this outside the thread I should fix the extra rules.
Tons of third party controllers fixes that. I'm rocking a RAZER sabretooth for that.
Here are some impressions for Expeditions Conquistador:
Graphics for the game are decent, nothing amazing but not bad, art style is quite nice.
Music is great and fits the theme of the game perfectly.
The voice acting in english is a bit jarring, but there's only voices in the intro video as far as I've seen, the rest is text which is fine.
Where the game shines is in the story and quests. Storytelling is amazing, you definitely get a sense of being a conquistador in the new world, writting is very good, and almost seems a graphical adventure at times, it has dialogue trees, so when you talk to NPC you can choose your answers, it's very very well done.
Exploring the island feels great, the game has nice mechanics and can be a little complex at times, but there are tutorials for each new mechanic and is not daunting or overwhealming.
I haven't tried much combat yet, but is probably the weakest part of the game, combat is nice but not as good as games like King's Bounty.
Game is recommened if you are interested in the theme, and you like graphic adventures or games like Heroes of Might and Magic, King's Bounty, ...
If anyone has any specific questions feel free to ask.
Erh, you just recommended an $80 third-party controller with quality control issues? u_u

Lucky you then.I have been extremely lucky with any Razer products I buy. I don't get any of the issues I see in the complaints about their quality.

It's fantastic so far. One of my soldiers was bitten by a spider in the night when we were about 5 days away from the healer. She only survived 4.There seems to be a way to treat people in camp but it hasn't unlocked for me yet. Maybe when I level up one of my doctors.

[quote="Dolor, post: 90186950"]Figured I'd post this in here in case anyone is wondering about buying X: Rebirth.
Terribly disappointing. I will wait and see if it gets better in patches, but there is no good reason to buy it now.[/QUOTE]
Ouch! :/ Sorry Dolor; hope they patch it very soon.

Here I am buying more Steam games to not play until february.
It's a delightfull little game, but as one consumer to another; fifteen bucks is too much. It's a small gem, but a flawed one.I have all these games in my library that I've yet to play and I'm really tempted to buy Contrast.
It's unique, and I'm not sure how I could describe it to a non-Canadian. It's very warm and hearty, like the kind of food you'd want if you were cold and in the rain and that instantly fills you up. It's very greasy and heavy and carb-filled. You get pretty regular french fries, a light-to-medium thickness gravy (normally a peppercorn gravy although it depends) which warms up the fries, and then cheese curds. Cheese curds aren't just chunks of cheese, they've got a mild flavour (maybe a little salty) and they're pretty chewy and stringy. The cheese melts a little bit, but not normally into the gooey mess normal cheese would. The flavours go together very very well. You add the cheese and gravy just as you're serving it and the best bites are the first few bites when everything is in perfect balance. The only American dish that sort of does the same thing is maybe chili cheese fries, but poutine is much much better. I guess the way poutine makes me feel reminds me a lot of heavier, cheese-and-sauce heavy Mexican cuisine, but the flavour isn't really the same. It's totally Canadian.
But see the point of a poutine festival isn't to eat regular poutine, because everyone in Canada eats regular poutine all the time. It's to eat weird experimental poutines. The most common is probably pulled pork poutine, which uses a barbecue sauce / gravy mixture and puts shredded pulled pork on top. Today I had pad thai poutine, which was poutine + peanut sauce, peanut chunks, egg chunks, tons of green onions, and a hot thai chili sauce. One of the vendors there did a chicken shawarma poutine which uses sort of a southwest mayo with garlic, shawarma chicken, and traditional poutine ingredients--I've had that before at a concert a while ago. Donair (doner) meat is also added every so often.
If you have poutine outside of Canada it'll probably use mozzarella cheese instead of cheese curds or thicken or brown the gravy too much. It's a really Canadian dish. It's actually not very popular in the area where I come from, where fries and gravy are generally served with savoury dressing (like you'd serve a turkey with) instead of cheese. But I live very near Quebec now so poutine is huge where I live now
