That's true. I could put the 12 dollars towards Deadly Premonition like I should have done over the autumn sale. That game has a much higher priority.

It's not going to be a gimmick.

Just FYI, Lego Marvel is the buggest Lego game. i know, I have all of them. Its still really good, you just have to put up with a lot. Several times I had to reload a save because an item I need didn't show up or some how fell through the floor and disappeared.

Immersion and fun are mutually exclusive? What about fun and good graphics?
Not mutually exclusive, just didn't add to fun that much, if at all, it depends on a game.
Also not mutually exclusive, but have not much in common again, as I remember ASCII Enterprise game being fun, or some text adventure games (><)

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Let's just wait for some old fogey to roll in and say that anything beyond Spacewars being played on a punchcard-powered supercomputer is a gimmick before we crown you king of traditional, hardcore gaming.
I couldn't agree more! (><)
except waiting part
OK, I won't try to rain on your parade, no more VR talk from me.
Ball and cup, my young friend, ball and cup.
Now get your hippety hoppety music out of here and let me yell at clouds in peace.
My moving pictures are on.
Interesting read and kudos to the devs for extending the lifetime of their game and fixing things. It does kinda make me sad that they're apparently adapting it for the stupid people. (I mean really, how can you not understand that you can't hide in bushes if someone sees you crawl in there?)
AssCreed mentality
Yeah, I think a lot of people let themselves get overwhelmed by the number of immediately-available paths before fully grasping the.size of the world (i.e. "not actually that large"). It gets a lot easier to understand and faster to navigate once most of the dead ends are uncovered/solved. I think I'd advise you to go down one path at a time, solving whatever puzzles you can make sense of, until you reach a dead end. Then warp back (there's pretty much always a little gate there) and take a different one.
Seems to be pretty random with bugs. I played through the campaign and encountered zero bugs. Not that I've ever encountered bugs with Lego games, but then I don't 100% them, I just play through the main story.
That is to say, the game is not a bug-ridden mess, but it has some that you might or might not encounter.

I'm really looking forward to the VR/Oculus stuff to hit mainstream. Should be great. And I'm old. I feel like I'm finally getting what I saw in futuristic movies as as kid.

It's not the first take on VR, just reminding.
Oh man, what was that investment group doing when they just gave Occulus Rift 75 million dollars last week. You could have saved them all that money!
I spent what felt like a lifetime scanning that Amazon sale list and all I got out of it was Europa Universalis 4 is going to be $10 for 1 day. Fine by me!
Nope I don't care about it either. It's not focusing on actually making games better, which is what we desperately need. It's focusing on improving immersion, which is what we don't need more of in this industry right now.

5.Rogue Legacy
Fun game with good controls, unfortunately it focus too much on grinding as oppose to skill.
4.Ys I and II Chronicles
Two classic and fun games, amazing ports which are by all means the definitive version of both games, including several versions of the OST.
The games have beautiful art, and while the gameplay is simply, it manages to feel extremely satisfying (which seems like a straple of the series going by the games I played)
3.Volgarr The Viking
A very well designed game, everything flows in terms of design from one segment of the level to the next.
The game gives ull control over the character (though had to change some bindings in the gamepad), between this and the level design I hardly ever felt I died for reasons besides my own fault.
2.The Typing of The Dead: Overkill
A game that came out of nowhere, and which by all means should not have been finished and released, yet it thankfully made it's way to us.
While not as good as the original Typing of the Dead (here's hoping that comes to Steam), the ridiculousness of writing words and sentences to kill enemies is still as fun as it was before.
It's biggest failing is the pacing not being as frantic as the original Typing of the Dead, but that would be attributed to original Overkill pacing which serves as the base for this game.
Including the original "The House of The Dead: Overkill" which is a fun game on it's own adds to it's quality.
1.Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed
An excellent Kart game (huge improvement over the original), with interesting tracks and characters, lots of post-release support (here's waiting for the Ryo update) and a pretty lively online.
It's good to finally have a good party-kart game on Steam.

Is today the last day of GOG sales?

has anybody managed to grab a possible list of what we might see this sale? i remember a guy named "LovingSteam" or whatever and he had magic johnson as his avatar. he somehow managed to retrieve a spoiler list.
It seems to be midway sale day with repeats, if I understand it how intended.
I would remind you investment beyond kinect, but that would be mean (><)

Thanks, I was looking but GOG is a little weird, couldn't find any news page or anything similar with info.

Oh yeah, Kinect is totally a piece of shit. There is totally no future in that technology.
There is future, of course, but not in making gaming better, what we talk about.

Yes, two thumbsticks for life.
Over a garbage motion device that doesn't work on anything except shovelware? I'll gladly take that life.

I'm personally pretty excited to see how Kinect 2 is used in games as the gen goes along. I've been using Xbox Fitness and you can already tell the responsiveness and accuracy is far beyond that of the first model. It's neat to play the Rivals demo too and have it pick up the closing of your hand and the like. Nothing mindblowing yet, but the potential for great things is there. Just look at Tearaway on the vita which has used some of the vita's quirky features like the rear touchpad to great effect. A smart game just needs to come out.
If nothing else it's a neat supplemental tool.

No, you can only view it as a complete replacement for the controller and all games become like Kinect Star Wars.

So, Amazon vs Steam Xmas sales! Who wins?
Probably Amazon. Steam sales have been a joke for several years now.

Whoa, Bully Scholarship edition. Should I buy right now? Less than 4 dollah, or has it gone down to 2.50 before?
Edit: Bought anyways. Enhanced Steam says 3.74 is the lowest it's ever been.

Well, for the last three years. Back then they were pretty gud.
I disagree with your dismissiveness of those technologies, but yeah, you're not alone.
I'm completely uninterested in wearing contacts (...not sure that's even a viable option for someone with vergence issues) which rules out most 3D, and am very doubtful Oculus Rift will have any compensation for vision deficiencies more severe than "easily-correctable with OTC reading glasses" anyway.
I'm aware I'm probably in a pretty small minority though, and that's fine. I've never felt "immersed" in a game anyway. Engaged by, sure. But action titles that use a first-person viewpoint just make me feel like the player character is a CRT monitor being hoisted and jiggled around on a stick. (Disembodied legs and severed hands floating in mid-air optional.)
We do. Buying cheap games that register on the Steam service from any store.
Also, this is probably the year that enough people already bought games from the Amazon sale, so everybody will complain about it, like they've been doing on the Steam sales for the past 2 years.
Steam sales are like the Mario Kart games: The one you experienced the first is always the best one.

Amazon will have better deals for specific games but looking at my wishlist there a lot of games only available on Steam.

I think Valve wins because no one would be buying from Amazon if it didn't give a Steam code.
Nonsense! Buying from other stores won't show up in your 'recently bought games' or your 'activity' page
