Maybe it takes longer on harder difficulties, but towards the end it was getting really tedious with them going HEY NEW MAP and sticking you on the same continent as the enemy capital (there's a whole shitton more uptop) but if you conquer the capital, it auto wins the game, so you just kind of capture land and make your way to the capital and once you capture it I got like 250+ tech and the game was soon over
then it's like "hey that big bad evil?
"
talk about a letdown

I didn't like the last map all that much, mostly because it was removed of any challenge. I basically just bulldozed my way to the finish. The first map was way too easy too if you survive the initial onslaught.
I really enjoyed the second map though. The game shines when you're actually under threat from multiple factions. At that point I didn't feel overpowered yet either. I really do enjoy the core of the game overall, but the campaign does have some pretty disappointing balance issues. Not enough to be a deal breaking, but upsetting nonetheless.
Papers, Please is higher on the top sellers list and has a larger concurrent than Spelunky. I never would have thought
Unfortunately, Guacamelee is getting lost in the shuffle. Its dropped out of the top ten and isn't even on the top 100 games list.
Even its peak count for today wasn't high enough to put it into the Top 100. Unsurprising for a late port, though.

Maybe because it was a critical acclaimed console release so more people already have it compared to a revamped Spelunky or PC exclusive Papers, Please?Papers, Please is higher on the top sellers list and has a larger concurrent than Spelunky. I never would have thought

Papers is incredible, I have just under 7 hours in it so far.

+1Bleed is AWESOME indeed!!!
BLEED is amazing. Controls are super tight. Shooter platformer + bullet hell craziness + triple jumps and slow mo = epic
Summoner was great, I played the original on PS2 and liked it a lot despite it being pretty rough in spots. I'd love to play it again if it was on one of the DD services.
run less
seems to be everyone's first mistake
also, ice caves tends to be easier than the jungle
I'm sure you can buy the gaming rights for like $100 off THQs corpse.

Then you are completely preordering it or waiting. I have faith 2K wouldn't budge on price if it did gangbusters or not, especially after Enemy Unknown likely opened their eyes to dat xcom brand strength.
Yeah I have no idea why it's not a huge indie hit, seemed like no one cared when it was released... It deserves so much more
maybe it's the genre? Run'n'guns aren't that hot I guess...it's ugly

Here are my quick looks for Spelunky(played 2 hours),Papers please (played 4 hours) and Guacamelee(1 hour)
Spelunky is a good just-one-round game. Its fun but the difficulty can be really frustrating sometimes. If it doesnt grab you, you will stop playing the game. Thats probably the reason why most are not playing it even trough it was Number 1 in the store. The lack of online coop is disappointing.
Guacamelee looks and feels like a good Nintendo game. Even the Story has some typical Nintendo elements. Great funny Metroidvania game.
Papers Please is probably the best one of those 3. Its incredible how a game about denying people into your country can be so much fun. Im 4 hours in and havent seen the ending yet. And those 20 ending will take me days to get them all.

Dust was so successful and in a similar situation from that respect.
I think it is just getting buried under Indiepocalyspe 2013.

Personally it's a combination of ugly/bland art style and so many other games coming out that I never gave it a second look. It looks like something rounding out an Indie Gala bundle but I'll add it to my wishlist for later.
How can I trust your advice? For all I know you might be trying to throw me off so you can stay ahead on the leaderboards!

If you own Payday 1 you get the Payday 2 beta for free.
The devs gave everyone who had Payday 1 beta access.

Ah, better than nothing. If only august wasn't already game-pocalypse.
And sent! Hopefully they will, at the very least, reply.

On that point, does Spelunky provide a 'friends' view/leaderboard for the daily challenges? If so, who is the GAFfer to beat at the moment?
Also, at the what time of day does the daily challenge reset?
3.3mb patch
Bleed is AWESOME indeed!!!
Totally forgot I wanted to buy Bleed.
Gotta idle some cards now.
Put your Steam ID on it and link to your GAF profile. he contacts you.

And don't tell anyone but the Bleed cards were selling quite nicely. Sold four, all in the upper $0.27 - low $0.30 range. That was two days ago.

Don't know for sure but sometime around 10am AEST I think.

Cool, thanks, 3chopl0x - was curious as to where those of us in Aus were going to fit into the schedule... on a typical work day, that would give us on the Eastern seaboard several hours worth of scores to chase of an evening, I suppose.
(you're ahead of some good names/GAF illumni there!)
