So after playing the Payday 2 Beta i can only say that : buy it now.
Better gunplay... better everything.
Better gunplay... better everything.
I finished Psychonauts and am beating myself for not playing this years earlier. The story is great, the characters are hilarious, the humor hits more often than it misses and the gameplay... well the gameplay is passable. Until the last level that is,
But really, everyone who likes games should play this game. Good humor in video games is so rare that I cannot find other examples off the top of my head except maybe in some Point&Click adventures.
where I really did not like the escort part and then nearly broke my controller at that fiery fence jumping.
That's a lot of exposed chest hair
How do you get into the beta?
Added to my wishlist a few days ago, loved it on ps3.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
!I love it when people discover this title, such a great game, one of my all-time favorites. Should really get around playing the Steam version some more, achievement hunting and the like.
I feel like i'm the only one whom really liked the gameplay, though. Except for that psy-ball, didn't really like the monkey ball-ness. And The Meathouse could get a bit frustrating.

Always nice reading about people playing this great game for the first time.
Well, you can always wait and hope for booster packs.
...If that's the first time you're hearing about booster packs, you may want to read parts of this post (skip down to the "how do I obtain all cards in a set" and start scanning from there for booster pack talk)
You know how in shooting games there's typically a bomb that clears the screen? That's the photos. You can't kill anything; you don't actually have a standard shot. You can only fire your screen-clearing bomb to get rid of all the bullets.
Knurek mentions that it's a good trainer because you can't kill anything and your bomb has a recharge time. So you can't just spam massive damage and hope the enemy dies quickly enough that you don't get overwhelmed; you actually have to practice and improve at dodging bullets.
This is the Steam thread though, so to steer us back on topic I will recommend eXceed 3rd. It is considered very accessible because you can turn on an option that will automatically drop a bomb when you get hit in addition to having an easy mode. At least two posters in the Indie Bundle thread were able to clear Autobomb Easy on their first try, so...
There are three eXceed games on Steam, but...well, the second is a bit rougher visually and the first is pretty rough on all fronts. If you are interested in them anyway, the trilogy will probably be $5 (or less) during the Winter Sale or a daily deal. There is also an IndieGala bundle running right now that has all three of them, but if you're not interested in any of the other games it's not as good a deal since it will cost you at least $6.30 (the price keeps changing).
I made a thread about it a couple of days ago, lol
So GAF, would you recommend the first Darksiders for someone who doesn't really care about The Legend of Zelda series?
Also, how long does it take to complete Psychonauts? I played like two hours of it last week and found it reasonably enjoyable, but then left it when I started Tomb Raider. I'm in a backlog clearing rush and don't want to play very long games right now.
Also, can someone explain to me what all the collectables, crystals and stuff in Psychonauts do? Don't know if I didn't pay attention or the game just didn't explain itself well, but I don't understand what all that collectable stuff does.

Has anyone here used Amazon Payments to buy things like Humble Bundles? Have a question

Depends on why you don't like Zelda. Is it the gameplay or the story you don't care for

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
What about Zelda specifically don't you like? Or you're just indifferent? For what it's worth, the only thing similar between Darksiders and The Legend of Zelda is the 3D action/puzzle hybrid genre. If you don't like 3D action/puzzle games, you probably won't like Darksiders.

Yeah I redeemed a gift card, was hoping I could use my gift card rather than Visa.

10 hours. 20-25 if you take it "slow", like you should. Talk to everyone, try everything. Suck up the atmosphere.
Collectibles make you level-up, which gives you new psychic powers. At level ten, you get pyrokenesis, for example. (if I remember correct, that is)
Both.

Darksiders is like zelda with a more adult story and more god of war combat but with the puzzles from zelda, if that sounds better to you get it.
You can't use Amazon credit to payout via Amazon Payments.

please GAFers support Shadow of the Eternals!! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/617502838/shadow-of-the-eternals-0?ref=recently_launched
Nope. Anything Dyack related will not get support from me.

It's a little confusing, but I believe Amazon is just acting a payment processor for your credit card and it isn't linked to your Amazon account in a traditional way.

Purchase confirmed August 20th.
I'm playing through Binding of Issac for the first time. Initially I loaded it to idle for cards but after the intro video made me laugh (i know, I've got a sick sense of humour) I decided to try it.
WOW! it's incredible. I've just been killed for about the 20th time (I've never gotten very far through the game) and I always blame myself. I've never felt the game has cheated me it's always a stupid error on my part. I know the game has been getting great praise through the Steam threads and I just wanted to sing its praises also.

Thanks for the answers guys. So Psychonauts it is next.
I'm ambivalent about Darksiders. God of War style combat sounds cool, but I don't like the puzzles from Zelda.
EDIT: Decided I'm not going to buy Darksiders. It looks tempting at that price, but my backlog is pretty full already. Getting the Puppygames bundle instead, since those seem like the kind of games I can play in short bursts.

So yeah, surprise to absolutely no one here but Rogue Legacy is some good stuff.
Now to find something else to tide me over 'til Spelunky.
Joke's on anyone who traded it for Rage, RL already has it!
I just wish someone warned me that the third playthrough gets straight up danmaku.
