I highly recommend...trying the Steam demo on Flotilla. I think I tried it and did not like the interface and how battles played out. It is hard for me to describe, so I will just say that if people have time, the demo should not take long to download and it can give you a feel for whether you'd be interested in playing the game at all.

You say simple, I say accessible
If anything its made me want to pick up other 4x games that I put down because the tutorials sent me to sleep and made me forget what they were droning on about just before I dozed off.

Endless Space was great even in it's "beta" form with just single player and five races.
Also Orcs Must Die 2 is out, installing it now

Any tips on getting remote install to work consistently? I've had it work sometimes but more often than not it fails. My PC is signed in and should not be sleeping.

A huge thanks to ngt for picking up a UK Borderlands 4 pack! Now the long wait until release begins.
Avernum is as indie as it gets.
Low population playing the game =/= indie
The game has been made and remade over like 20 years, it's anything but indie.
Endless Space isn't really in beta when there's just very very minor stuff they haven't finished. It's like 95% completed.Endless Space was great even in it's "beta" form with just single player and five races.

The game looks suspiciously like Homeworld.
I got it too. Who wants it?
wat. I had an extra copy I could have sold you for 3.75
Does anyone have that blood DLC for shogun 2? How detailed is it? Is it relatively realistic or do people just explode when they die instead of dying like normal?
I only ask because it almost seems like a joke DLC to me but if it's realistic then that's cool.
edit: Nevermind I just noticed there's a video for it on steam. Man they even made a video for that? Love their PC/Steam support.

MDK2 HD, wha whaaa? This is looking good...
Once you start you wont stop. Well, if you let yourself get through the first dungeon anyway. I still had fun in the first dungeon but it can be hard until you level up a bit or run away to heal at the village.
On a modern display at 1080p thinks are sharp but super small. Reading books or scrolls in the game can be hard and I am gaming on a 27" monitor. But I am too proud to drop the red.
I also mapped quicksave and quickload keys as they didn't seem to exist. And don't forget to use your Ctrl key to find hidden goodies! Or don't if you like to hunt blind. Keys and items can be hidden under trash and pillows and stuff which is awesome and pretty realistic in a way. Reminds me achingly of Ultima VII.
I think that is why I love the game
Yeah everything I've read about this game seems absolutely terrific and I know I'd love it. I did load it up and run around for a few minutes and I love the aesthetic and how clean it is. Great sprites as well, so there's no issue in the graphics department, it definitely holds up. And I'm playing it on a laptop, so I won't have any issue in regards to things being too small
From the little I did play it (just a quick few minutes to get in game and run around), there's no doubt I'd love it a hell of a lot as it does feel like this masterpiece of an aRPG I completely missed during it's original release.

What are you talking about? Jeff Vogel is the only one working on the game, his wife does accounting, and he hires artists when needed on a temp basis.
What does him being in the industry for a long time have to do with his indie status? He is still a smaller operation than most other indie studios. Nor does it have anything to do with how many times game x has been remade.
I've been playing his games since I was 15 years old. (Exile 1)
It's made by a single person without publisher backing. It's literally as indie as a game can possibly be.

Yeah, I got that too. Not sure what's up with that. I already own the game.
If I ever sell a game that I made myself and it gets called not indie enough, I think I'll feel like I've arrived or something.
It's like hipster indie. This guy's game is too mainstream!
I got it as well. I don't think I'm going to get it personally, so if anyone wants my coupon, just send me a PM or something.

Finally decided to play darksiders after buying on Steam sale. Kind of reminds me of god of war so far but what a terrible PC port tbh. No video options or anything plus it's always dropping frames

Do coupons cumulate?
keep playing

But what if it turned out that one guy was actually Bobby Kotick? [/shyamalantwist]
I dont know about that (and I hope not). Theyve said the structure is pretty much the same.
I expect a similar but bigger game with an improved combat system, better feedback with numbers popping up for damage, and loot.
The core of the game will probably remain the same, if you HATE Darksiders 1 there's a big chance you'll hate this one too from what ive seen so far.
then again if you HATE Darksiders then there's something wrong with you tho

So its wrong to hate a bad game, sure whatever you say.

They could have gave out the 50% coupon off AAAaaAAAaaAAAA! to other people who don't own it. Oh well.

Dejoban can have a free coupon to lick my balls, redeemable anytime.
Damn that's quite the deal
I enjoyed their katamari ripoff.

Does Orcs Must Die 2 have splitscreen?
Aaaah is good. The rest is pretty awful, I agree.
No local co-op.

I bought a controller a few days ago. This list will come in handy.
All this time, I have been playing with keyboard and mouse, but the gamepad changes everything: I can sit further from the screen and for everything except FPS, the experience is better.
thanks
You should try turning on "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" it fixed my issues with the framerate.
You can do so by right-clicking on DarksidersPC.exe in your steamapps/common/darksiders folder. Then go to he Compatibility tab, you should see it then.
