apologies for going OT

Just got a email for "The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot" Beta anyone else get one?

the game looks too good, as it is a free to play from Ubisoft, which is telling me to be on my guard as that means micro transactions...

But the premise is such a good idea, you build a castle and upload it, the more people that die in it, the more loot you get....

I remember enjoying Fable 2. I never touched Fable 3 after hearing about some of the things the game did.

I liked it.(3) It's the only fable I have ever played though. Bought fable 1 now and am currently downloading it. If 3 is trash in comparison I should like 1 even better I guess.

For what it's worth, Error 3 appears to have been fixed.

I'm still really interested in Fable 3. Mainly because of John Cleese.
Played like an hour of the game once, quite liked it. Extremely liniear, though.

Anyhow. Played like two hours of Aquaria and enjoyed it quite a lot. Game feels weird, but it's fun and quite relaxing. Story's a bit bonkers and too floaty for my tastes, but what the heck. Really atmospheric and soothing...
...aaaaand then I earned the ability to shapeshift, wich resulted in combat. Lot's of it. And now i'm enjoying the game a whole lot less. It's not bad, it's quite fun, but I liked the game a lot more when it was just about swimming around, exploring and avoiding the big, scary purple stuff spewing salamander and other animal thingy's.

Another big thanks to hasaffe for the steamkey.

I bet Bad Rats that it starts this week. Probably tomorrow or Wednesday. Probably at the same time new trading cards are announced, or in connection with it.

 

[RionaaM]

If theres no steam sale today Im going to the gym.

already packing my bag

Can you idle for cards there?

Subtract one day.

It might start on the 11th, based on release date information.

The message is more or less worthless considering it was put in place by a volunteer mod and not somebody actually affiliated with the game.

 

[memecomplex]

I like it better than 5 and yes it is quite playable with m & kb.

Wait RE6 has better mouse aim than Revelations right, which was abysmal!

I liked every Fable game but Fable 3 was a bit of a bummer. Not for the reason that it is a bad Fable game, but for the reason it has some stuuuuupid design decisions in there that make you facepalm every once in a while.

 

[Maxwood]

Anyone else unable to upload screenshots to the cloud? I'm getting errors while trying to do so since yesterday afternoon.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Yeah, that came out a bit awkward. I didn't try Fable 3 after I heard about some of the cumbersome ui/menu/map stuff.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Just curious, but why do you think so?

Last year it started on the 12th. This year there are new releases listed up until the 11th (Toki Tori 2) and then none until the 23rd (The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief). You can draw your own conclusions from that.

Welcome to my world. I gave up on the screenshot feature in Steam, so unreliable.

 

[I H8 Memes]

If we are going based on recent history then the Summer Sale wont start until after Amazons sale ends. Amazon has somehow been finding out when the sales are and making sure to preempt them for the last few sales.

Sure it's pretty sad and cowardly on Amazons part. But that's the difference between a publicly owned company like Amazon and a privately owned one like Valve.

Last year, Steam and Amazon's respective Summer and Winter Sales slightly overlapped.

Thats only a week and a half, havent sales always been over 2 weeks?

Weren't they about 10 days? Can't remember.

Last years's summer sale ran the 12th to the 22nd. Winter sales are two weeks, I think.

The Summer Sale generally runs for 10 days, the Autumn Sale for a week, and the Winter Sale for two weeks.

Edit: Beaten.

I liked your wording because the way people reacted to the game was as if it had touched them in places they didn't want to be touched.

2 years ago the summer sale started the last week of June IIRC

 

[RionaaM]

Today's Daily is 66% off Fable: TLC ($3.39).

Weekly stuff coming in:

Grotesque Tactics: Evil Heroes - 75% off
Grotesque Tactics 2 - 75%

Is this the best Gaben can offer us? I don't want the Summer Seal then, he can keep it to himself.

 

[Goody]

Anyone try the Apogee Throwback Pack yet? These are more substantive than DOSbox ports, yeah?

 

[JaseC]

I want to buy Star Trek but GMG's can-and-string servers won't let me.

It's weird that there are only two week-long deals. Valve didn't even bother putting up an announcement for Grotesque Tactics.

Just give me anything I don't have at 75% off, I need to spend the Gabens I got from the TCG.

It's the worst Fable by a large margin.

Aye their servers are getting hammered. They better get it fixed before that apparent 6 hour deadline.

I managed to reach the point where you use a discount coupon before the site became unresponsive. Just another 30-odd seconds and I would have had my game.

There's a game out there that can touch me in erogenous zones? Where can I buy it?

Downsampled Fable screenshots. I was actually surprised on how good of a port it is, even has AO settings.

 

[Oneironaut]

They are DOSbox ports. You get the window to select which game to play, and when you click one it just starts that game in DOSbox .

Does Fable TLC have gamepad support?

Guys, I need a game like Dear Esther or Protheus, where you don't do anything.
Any game apart from these 2?

I don't even know what a "Grotesque Tactics" is. The name sounds... grotesque.

Actually, you are right. I got so used to seeing 66% off or even less on Steam lately that I didn't remember the delicious taste of a 75% off sale.

If you have access to a PS3, Metal Gear Solid 4 is the game you're looking for. My first experience with the console was suffering through a straight hour of cutscenes and installs at a friend's house.

I suspect Microsoft will use the SmartGlass integration to excuse the lack of a PC port.

I played it with K/M and it worked perfectly.

Of course, you can always use a 3rd party program to get controller up and running.
