Cool, we're avatar bros!

Yup, $60 plus Uplay is a big no in my book. I'm going with the first one for now, and a couple of DLC.

Seems like the way to go, I still need to pick up DLC, Ideally I want some confirmation that things won't mess up if I get a retail copy of 2014

So I started playing Dishonored and this game is really awesome. It's not trash like everyone said it was. I'm glad I started playing it. The teleport feels so good to use. I just wonder whether it's more fun to play sneaky or to play as a savage and destroy everyone.

Way to go to throw a WTF? in the thread.

trash... WTF?

You what? Are you pulling our legs? Who said it was trash?

I kinda see where Dice is coming from tbh

at least make the guy not spin when he jumps or something. C'mon.
Plus some red flags like how the big worm thing looks like a direct translation of a Metroid boss. We were already repeating bosses within the same game with Metroid, so for a homage game we could make some new ones. I'm just saying there are people out there really putting tons of imagination into something unique (ala Sealark), and if I have yet-unallocated funds free I'd rather put them to such projects before something like this. For a homage, something like Radio the Universe has some Zelda to it but it also seems totally fresh.

I don't think there were many who said it was trash. Sure, for some people some it's flaws (like the balance of the abilities) are magnified... but "trash"... that's just wrong.

I personally vastly prefer to play it stealthily. You explore the levels a lot more, the game lasts longer, and you really appreciate the several paths to the objectives.

Isn't the last DLC for it just about to be released? Knife of Dunwall was great.
 
Getting sick (real sick). Feeling cold, mucus in the thrroat and very lazy. And I actually started training for the past weeks (running, push-ups and sit-ups). :(

Hoping I will get better till Wednesday (driving lessons, Im 18 years, so still in time) and especially thursday for Spelunky.

Have a good day/night GAFfers!

well you mentioned a game name...so I guess its not completely OT...

You must have confused Skyrim with Dishonored.

Easily done, both are published by Bethesda

Is that name inspired by Serial Experiments Lain by any chance?

Yep.


Dust: An Elysian Tail is a really awesome game. Been playing it for some days now and I've had a lot of fun with it. Fidget is also great, I love her VO lines and the humour she packs.
If I had to find a negative to it, it'd be the running animation. I really dislike it.

Thanks, I keep forgetting about these bundles

Is there a complete list of bundles that later provided keys?

I absolutely loved the game, running animation included. It seriously might be one of my favorite indie games in the past couple of years, if not my favorite.
I had already taken an interest to it when I saw it released for Xbox, but I didn't expect the kind of quality I got at all. Really caught me by surprise.

Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed ... how did I miss this? I bought it back when there was the sonic hits pricing error but just finally installed it today. Who needs Mario Kart?

I'm enjoying the new character. I was actually able to 4star a race on my first try with him at level 1. Awesome that they keep giving us free upgrades

Is answering to a post that's 2 pages back not something you're supposed to do either, besides questioning buying habits? :p
nope

I dunno. I had some big issues with keeping a game going with a friend who had a ping to me of ~300ms. The game just kept dropping them randomly from my game or hers. That was a big turn off. I also really didn't enjoy the flying bits either.

Other than that the game was enjoyable. When we did get it to work we had fun.

On another note a fine person here on GAF gifted me a Skullgirls beta key and I enjoyed it so I picked up the game. My problem is now I want a fightstick or a decent fightpad. Any recommendations?

Download speed is kind of crazy right now, have no idea why. Yesterday when I downloaded Tomb Raider on my laptop it was peaking at around 3.2, wired connection and all.

That happened to me a year ago with Comcast when they randomly doubled my speeds. Same exact numbers as well.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is amazing. I just got my Star License yesterday (~70% completion) but the multiplayer is where it really shines. I've played dozens of games with friends from Mexico, Europe and Russia and I guess I've been lucky to have no issue with latency or disconnects so far. Tracks are great, music is great, game is beautiful and fun as hell. My weak spots are Chilly Castle, Graveyard Gig and Burning Depths. I don't think I'll ever get 1st on expert in any of these.

Also, thanks to wilflare for a surprise gift of Skullgirls today. Generous guy as usual.

It'd explain one of those random-ass Source Engine entries in the DB. Not the next game I wanted to see from Valve, but I'll take it.

My dream is to come in here one day and see that someone has spotted Guilty Gear Xrd in the Steam registry.

so do kickstarted games that get greenlit during their production typically give out steam keys to their digital-copy level backers? i'm currently backing 2 games (among the sleep and a hat in time) that have been greenlit but haven't said anything about giving steam keys
 
I said I was done until Saint's Row 4 and Divekick but ugh, I dove in.

I bought the Sonic & All-Stars 4-pack at $12 so still looking for three others to get the rest at $3 each. Just PM me to avoid cluttering the thread and first 3 get it. I'll just update this post when the 3 last spots are filled. Slots filled, thanks guys!

Normally they will specify a backing level to get a key.

A Hat in Time is giving Steam keys.

oh yeah. not sure how i missed that, haha. i've asked krillbite (among the sleep dev) on their facebook and they didn't respond. which was odd because they respond to almost all questions on there. their greenlit update basically said "info about steam keys coming soon"

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I'm excited to see Valve's next engine. I hope it and Left 4 Dead 3 have film maker support right off.
