I dreamed of Gaben last night, briefly. In the dream, I was reading the wiki for that film Daybreak, the mediocre one with the vampires, and the skinny fella from Gattaca. The wiki noted a deleted scene of approx. 25 seconds, detailing a scene with Gaben. Supposedly he had a daughter, and she was born the same day a star appeared in the sky, the same day Gaben himself first introduced himself to the masses, the same day vampires starting existing on the Earth. The scene ended with Gaben standing at a campfire surrounded by children, looking down at a can of soda in his hand, acknowledging that this was all not coincidence.

Amazing.

How is the loading times? Is it same as the original, or is it faster loading times?

Loading times were excellent and seemed way faster than the PS1. I never played the original PC release so I can't compare it to that. The only thing I experienced was a strange 10-15 second initial loading time where the screen was black before the Square Enix logo.

Started F.E.A.R. 2.
I think I made a mistake.

Practically every aspect of it feels inferior to the first game.

They ruined the shotgun. It's an unforgivable sin.

 

[JaseC]

Might as well get some use out of it.
Them seeing the title there and having to pull it down might get them to act on all the PC ports of midway games they have sitting collecting dust.

The warning is scary. I don't want my account restricted this close to the Winter Sale.

You don't spend the whole game in an office and the ending is hilarious.

 

[dirtywhirlwind]

Not sure how can I resist that, seems impossible.

better than MI?

As much as I love Monkey Island, I do find TBoUT to be a much more pleasant adventure. It's pretty easy and friendly to newcomers, but if you're just looking for a fun matinee kind of adventure it's a fun ride. Either way, if you do enjoy adventure games you certainly can't go wrong with this one.

It's not a bad game, and the flow of F.E.A.R. is still there, kinda. It's just different.

But yes, the shotguns are irredeemable when placed next to the godly predecessor.

Thanks, you convinced me, if I won't buy it now, will buy later.

What's the general opinion on Hard reset ?

 

[jshackles]

I didn't think this was ever on Steam. Is it one of those coming-soon re-releases? Either way it was a terrible game.

Wasn't Marc Ecko's Getting Up removed from Steam?

 

[Jawmuncher]

That is true. I would hope they would just do a little slap on the wrist.

 

[Fox318]

Is there a reason why Korean writing is appearing in my Steam client?

Use your manhwa credit card?

 

[Lunaniem]

http://steamdb.info/sub/33200/

There is the sub Mark Ecko is in, maybe they will eventually add it to the store?

 

[jshackles]

Obligatory Penny Arcade

 

[JaseC]

The latter, apparently, as SteamDB returns no results when searching for the title.

 

[Nabs]

I don't know man, I'm pretty sure Jeff Gerstmann damn near gave it a 9/10. It's almost as believable as his Syndicate 5/5.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Marc Ecko if it's coming back must've been extraordinarily cheap to obtain

 

[drizzle]

It was an Atari project on top of it all.

 

[JaseC]

Not as far as I can tell.

Edit: Valve employees don't own it, so it's never been up on the store.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Well it's definitely not being rereleased by Atari.
So I guess the rights to the game went back to Ecko himself or he bought it back perhaps.

 

[jshackles]

Maybe they're re-releasing 1 when they release 2?

https://twitter.com/EckoUnltd/status/302059398493257728

 

[Lunaniem]

Maybe they're re-releasing 1 in addition to 2?

https://twitter.com/EckoUnltd/status/302059398493257728

They actually are making a sequel to it? Why?

First i've heard of this. Makes sense then if Devolver has a hand in 2.
I assume they do.

 

[JaseC]

They actually are making a sequel to it? Why?

Steam users will buy anything at the right price.

 

[jshackles]

They actually are making a sequel to it? Why?

Because our world is still evil and God is still punishing us, apparently.

 

[Cheddahz]

They are actually making a sequel to that game? The only thing that was good about it was the soundtrack

 

[morningbus]

I don't know man, I'm pretty sure Jeff Gerstmann damn near gave it a 9/10. It's almost as believable as his Syndicate 5/5.

He gave it an 8.7, which means it's worse than Twilight Princess.

 

[honorless]

That might be true, and as much as I want to talk about bros 4 life, I think this calls for a serious discussion. I mean, it's painfully obvious Valve needs to do something about it. Like redesigning the store and come up with the billion dollar solution that can support 100+ game release a month.

The store needing a redesign and a $15 small-dev game with not-quite-professional-looking pixel art that lacks most Steamworks features and is on the buggy side not getting much publicity are kinda two separate problems.

Contrast with SteamWorld Dig, which had 10+ hype posts about it in the thread yesterday.

I think we can all agree that nothing is as good as Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 at least.

Get Games Go is doing a shooters sale.

Hmm, I think I have seen those same discounts or better on other sites in the last few months. Still looking for a good deal on the Bioshock season pass. I think its $16 at Green Man Gaming with their 20% voucher.

 

[Turfster]

Good news!
Shinyloot is doing a Leading Ladies Weekend, which includes the Cognition Season Pass for 50% off @ 15$

This is like that Wargames movie - the only winning move is not to play at all.
Or in case of 2k/Zenimax games, wait for the GOTY version.

Gray Matter for $4 is tempting, but I'll fire off an e-mail asking for clarification as to whether or not a Steam key will be provided in the future as it's been greenlit... which was almost four months ago now and despite the "... so the game is completely finished and ready for release on Steam" message on the Greenlight page is still MIA.

Oh, hadn't thought of that. Keep me posted?

 

[Dusk Golem]

Anybody else having the browser version of Steam being reported by Google chrome as a "Fishing Site" and marked as malicious? I am certain I am on Steam, have triple-checked and loaded, but...

Not the homepage, I mean the store pages.

 

[Knurek]

Oh right, lest I forget - muve.pl is having a sale ATM (Polish IP required).

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger (Steam) can be had for ~$4 if anyone's interested. They take Paypal.

Edit: I am not seeing those warnings.

last time I paid for anything on Muve, I had to send then an email asking for a refund because they never sent me the game.

That was a funny experience, sending an email in English to a polish site.

I'll be sure to post the most pertinent response (I've also contacted DTP, just in case SL can't provide a definitive answer).

wazhack was finally greenlit, woohoo! great little action roguelike.

I wish I had done that with Borderlands 2 since I haven't put that much time into the base game

Thanks.

Not that big of a loss, since with B2, only the base game is actually good (Tiny Tina DLC excluded), plus you're better off waiting for GOTY2 because 2K is riding that DLC money train all the way to Narnia.
