Eh, development generally takes too long to be very reactive, I'm sure they planned to have a mode like this from the start.
Man, I still can't believe how bad Pinnacle Station was. Polar opposite of Bring Down the Sky, which was great.
I would like to make a correction .
it is not wrong to buy a season pass once all the DLC is out and you actually know what your gonna get .
But .yes buying a season pass on day one blindly is just asking for dissapointment

Thanks.
Agreed. Depending on how the other DLC turns out, I will absolutely buy the season pass when it's on sale.
5.7GB download, for those curious. Looking forward to diving into it come the weekend.

Guacamelee! PC announcement ?
Yup.

Let us know what you think of the game then!
I'm very curious to know how they handled the "arcade" feel of the original!
Putting together an arena mode isn't exactly a tall order, though, especially for a full-size studio.
Guacamelee! PC announcement ?
That'd be guess seeing as it popped up in the registry earlier in the year and was quickly renamed to a VTA.

Now with Steam exclusive additional 4chan/reddit meme DLC!
We need every old Ensemble Studios game on Steam. Come onnnn Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds <3 <3
All weapon models look like crossbows lol. I almost would want to see the game broken just to see that.
EDIT: Fixed reading as it appears to have already been fixed.

Yeah. It's also been updated a lot lately. They also created a Guac + Tales from Space pack the other day.
I'm primarily interested in the multiplayer component (although I'm not exactly fond of the virtually all of the weapons being explosive-based), so I hope there are bots, otherwise I won't be playing it much at all, haha.

I'm starting to think Overkill watched the quicklook for Payday: The Heist back in 2011 and just made all the changes Jeff and Ryan talked about, resulting in Payday 2. Which is an incredible game particularly compared to the first, both mechanically and stylistically. Goldfarb being the lead on it really shows, guns feel and sound amazing.
And that same app has been seeing tons of updates the past couple weeks.
The Steam Thread always supports more Metroidvanias
It also popped up again last week with a bundle with Mutant Blobs
More like "We're shutting down GFW Live. It's up to developers to patch it out, any game with it still active will cease to function."
After the major clear out giveaway yesterday I am left with two keys.I cannot guarantee if they have been used or not. Anyone who wants to try a key, PM me (1 per person). They are for the following:
Bundle: Fieldrunners, BIT.TRIP BEAT, SpaceChem, and Uplink
Bundle: LIMBO, Amnesia, Sword & Sworcery, and Psychonauts
I also have a key returned from the giveaway for Sword of the Stars II (unused). Again PM if interested.

I've heard some pretty negative things about it over the past couple weeks.

That's usually the case after a positive launch. Late ports aren't always so bad, eh?

So Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea will require the original game?
It totally should be a standalone expansion like Blood Dragon. I feel like that should be the way to go for all future DLC that is like that.

So you see this post of awesome win:
Well I congratulated Hawkie on such an awesome splurge of gifting and this was his reply:
:/
This was what he was after:
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/13237/
I think you good people [especially those who won!] know what to do
.
Don't bother about Blackwell Convergence though as I've just gifted it to him.
Hop to it people!

Can't wait for RoTT. Preload is great too!
Not sure why everyone went gaga over Guacamelee though. It was good but I wouldn't be too disappointed if a PC port doesn't come.

This is actually a good point.
All of those pieces of DLC should be standalone, the story pieces aren't even connected to the main game.

Yeah Guacamelee was good and polished, but nothing exceptional.
Some people just go crazy over any kind of "Metroidvania".
Exactly. If it was a direct continuation of the story I could understand the requirement, but with something like this (it probably won't be entirely disconnected), a standalone release would make so much more sense and increase the number of potential customers.

Blood Dragon and Infamous: Festival of Blood were definitely anomalies. I doubt it will ever become the norm because as it is, DLC is publisher's last line of defense against used game sales.
Nice.
It's slim pickings on the PC... in part thanks to Epic not greenlighting a PC port of Shadow Complex.

It hurts to even think about...
Epic still blaming the consumers for Gears of War selling poorly.
Ya its our fault that we didn't want to buy a game riddled with DRM and then charge us for XBL on top of that.
If you guys have a GBA I would recommend picking up Aria of Sorrow. Its one of the best Metroidvanias I have ever played.
I wonder if we'll ever see a Steam release of Gears PC. It's been available digitally via the Marketplace for yonks now.
But single player campaign.....
they actually wanted for us to pay for online on PC?
What the fuck? Is this a new game? How can it be released in such a dreadful state?

Oh and Hawkie gave me some keys that might work that were included in the 'caveat emptor' part of the deal.
I said I wouldn't try them if I had no interest in the game and he said it was okay to offer them to fellow GAFers so quote to see!

Interesting prediction from Chris Satchell there.

Moot point on the PC. They can do whatever they want on the consoles, but on PC there is no reason to require the original game. Almost no one will buy the game just to play the DLC.
I'd totally rebuy Shadow Complex.
It's just that having played Metroid(vanias) starting with Super Metroid, SOTN and the GBA Castlevanias, there is just no game that has been released in the genre recently that even came close.
La Mulana is the closest one, but it went a little too far with its crypticness.
And here I thought my unused free 3 months of XBL was out of them just being nice (came with GoW1 box). They wanted me to subscribe to their service! How dare they have ulterior motives.

I wish those would come to steam in some fashion. the GBA Castlevania games were phenominal, hell even the DS ones were really good too.

Hearts of Iron 3 got cards. Or was there before?
I'm working on my DS collection right now, I just picked up DoS and OoE the other day. My body is ready.
I think it would be more likely to see Symphony of the Night on PC.
Bringing those type of games to PC would be strange because there would be no way to run the game at a higher resolution than 240x160 due to stretching.
Probably not, Epic must be busy making a Steamworks version of Jazz Jackrabbit 2.

Or we could see Castlevania: Harmony of Despair on the PC.
We have filters for that
Not my shot, I'd reduce the scanlines significantly, but should prove my point either way.
