How long is that Gamestop sale? I'm tempted to grab the RAGE DLC and maybe Dawnguard.

you think Dragonborn will go any cheaper any time within the next few months?
Maybe during the Summer Sale or the next Winter Sale
GMG offering a 50% base discount and a 20% discount code isn't out of the question, however as far as the Summer Sale is concerned I wouldn't expect more than 50% off.

Been hoarding 100 in my wallet for a couple of months. Holding on for dear life in anticipation for the Summer Sale.

All the better to start over fresh once you've bought Ski Region Simulator.
Really want this Stardew Valley (Harvest Moon/Rune Factory clone) to be greenlighted.

I guess I voted this up already. The co op better be online!

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
If you want to have some fun, check out the Steam Greenlight Concepts section. The amount of slightly renamed Dooms and angry My Little Pony fan games is pretty staggering.

Definitely underestimated XCOM. A lot more fun than I initially gave it, got it from BioInf otherwise I'm not sure I would've picked it up.

I certainly didn't favorite it, so I left it (here for everyone to see).
Smart man. XCOM is incredible. I'm anxiously awaiting any sort of expansion news, maybe revamp the multiplayer or something to give it any life.
And guess my interest in LaMulana is peaked now after hearing it described as a 2D Dark Souls. Will check that out eventually I am sure.

I hope the expansion drops soon too since I'd like to pair it with the Soldiers and Hong Kong DLC packs when I reinstall the game.

Speaking of....how hard/easy is Dark Souls to get back into? I played for a while and took a break, have no idea where I'm at in the game.

Probably, they cancelled my order. Welp, was only the Rage DLC, it'll be cheap somewhere else soon anyway.

Judging by Metro 2033 no. I think it will be better than 2033 though.
Sorry to hear that, but glad to hear that it only was for some DLC.
Man... I can't get over that I missed all the bonuses in the Build a Greenlight bundle. The initial deal didn't have anything that interested me, but the bonuses ... oh, the bonuses :/

Would there be many new assets? They already have the models for the major characters in the game.
2033 was terrible, though.
You could get La-Mulana for what, $1? I wish I had jumped on that.
I don't think it'll be as good in the narrative dept as Infinite, but I think it'll actually be a lot better in the gunplay, look as good, and be at least as atmospheric as 2033. The few demonstration vids I've seen have it looking amazing.

Unfortunately, reality exists.
probably not, feels like they may have stepped back on some of the roughness and uniqueness that made the first one cool, but I dunno.
previews and all that just give me the impression they want more of a thrill ride rather than the somewhat minimalistic (though obviously not always) style of first game.
the fact that the story's original rather than adapted from the books doesn't really bode well for it either
I started looking at previews and it feels like they fell into the trap that dumbing down games = more sales. I was so gung ho on it and now, meh.
You're terrible, though.
I imagine it'll be something in the middle, but if you asked me what I wanted the most out of a metro sequel, "more responsive controls" and "better action" would be the last two items on my list.
I felt like the better parts of the game were actually when guns weren't being fired and you were just slowly exploring the tunnels, looking for hidden stuff and listening to crazy stories from NPCs.
also I really loved the ending bit, the whole working as a group thing was really good, even if they were very small characters for some reason I felt very much attached to them and their reverence of old soviet greatness. both endings themselves were also pretty great.
I really liked metro 2033, now that I think about it
It has a good atmosphere, but the gameplay is horrendous. The gunplay is weak and don't get me started on the stealth sections of the game.
I found the controls to be just fine. But I was playing on PC so 360 mileage may vary. The world and the exploration even though it was linear it still had lots of nooks and crannies. Anyone that ran low on ammo was an idiot. There was so much everywhere. It sounds like they ruined it because of the lowest common denominator.I imagine it'll be something in the middle, but if you asked me what I wanted the most out of a metro sequel, "more responsive controls" and "better action" would be the last two items on my list.

TIL people played Metro 2033 on something other than Ranger Hardcore
I also learned that getting shot in the head doesn't make you flinch.
basically if you bought the stealth suit you could sneak past some sections, even with monsters iirc.
it's actually a pretty cool way to play the game in ranger mode.
enemies were bullet sponges but that's solved in ranger mode, and just immersion was through the roof.
it's a game that you love because of that, and I think it was enough.
stalker is kinda similar, though the gameplay is a lot more interesting even if it's even less refined.
well they didn't have ranger on release
and now they're making it a preorder reward
dem assholes
I agree with this.
It was decidedly 'ok'. Also the framerate was unstable as all hell, which killed a lot of firefight fun for me. I never could find a sweet spot where it ran well and looked decent.
I played the first part of Metro 2033 for an achievement hunt once. The atmosphere was interesting, and I imagine some of the lighting effects could be cool, but I was certainly not a fan of the shooting/monsters stuff. I feel like it was pretty linear too, though that can be good for some games. Basically I suppose I didn't want what the game was aimed at delivering. I'd rather have less combat and more open exploration, probably.
All that said, having a difficulty option as a paid DLC/preorder bonus is one of the weirder game decisions I've seen recently.
