I don't get whats so great about FTL, play a little bit and then die, go the wrong sector and get attacked by pirates with a supernova in the background and die, run out of fuel then die. You can't play learn from your mistakes when you're getting killed just because you decided to play the game, another waste of 5 bucks.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Do you guys think there is one of those "need physical goods" types out there printing up each card he or she has to place in a binder?

Hows the performance in 3D?
They're selling unlocks, you can get all of it by playing the game.
Or just buy the DCE seeing as it's all included with a whole lot more. CoH may well be one of my fav games ever but still £70 is a bit bloody steep. Don't know what included with my preorder to be honest.
core i5 2500k + single 670 @1080p:
Tomb Raider can get a bit framey in cutscene closeups for me but is almost always smooth in gameplay. Max Payne 3 is rock solid always.
Max settings on both, though I might have turned down the AA a bit on TR. I cant fully remember.
I got a reply!

@AddnanC We are! We're working on adding Steam Trading Cards to Joe Danger right now, actually!

Starg, the developer of Beat Hazard has said that he'll be implementing Trading Cards some time as well.

Dude keeps showing up the Rhythm Zone developer at every opportunity.
Love this guy.
Haha. A company I worked for once specifically created a ton of DLC for its game specifically to get all the "new release" spots in the front page.
They were inspired by Magic TG
Usually takes people about 3 or 4 deaths to figure it out and then progress farther. You are always a special case though.
The one thing I figured out that really helped me is go to as many dots in a solar system as you can before being forced to move on.
This allows you to collect the maximum amount of money, parts, weapons, and units you can before the final mission.
Maybe it's not for everybody, but if you keep playing and practicing you will get good enough to reach the end boss pretty much every run.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Yeah, you really need to suck as many scrap out of the galaxy as you can. It's worth the risk.
And buy some blast doors!
Lol. No, neither of those. What's funny is I think it only took a day or two for that exact thing to happen to us.
Most Paradox titles 50% off on GMG. Not sure what the point is, but whatever.
75% off Legacy of Kain series.
GMG20-6WUSQ-LBC4U for an additional 20% off.

You're right. They're very different games.
Well I guess I'm safe then since I've never played Trials, after hearing what a technical trainwreck the port was.

So what's up with trading cards now. Will all games be adding or is it just up to the devs/pub?
The developers still need to create the actual cards, so games being added on an occasional basis will remain the case.

gah. You do learn from your mistakes though. I kept getting wasted by encounters with enemies during explosive novas, or getting boarded after having my ship set on fire and having my oxygen smashed, or losing crewmates to my own stupidity after taking long periods of time to level them up in multiple skills, or dying after failing to realize certain strategies worked better for certain ships, etc etc. Everything is about dying or surviving just another jump more. All you do is learn through trial and error. Then you finally beat the game and there is no giant fanfare, just a score screen and the immense feeling of accomplishment for having finally done what felt like the impossible. I literally had both of my fists in the air and was shaking them at the Space Gods as I loudly yelled out lusty Space exultations at surviving and finally beating that Space Bastard of a rebel ship. Oh, it felt so good. It is my GOTY for last year AND this year.
Try to give it another chance!
It's not like Trials, it's much more arcadey. Feels kind of like a platformer in some ways

What exactly was your expectations for a 'roguelike strategy game in space'?

Try the demo before you pick it up. I heard they patched it up since release.
Coincidentally, I downloaded the Trials demo last night and it ran flawlessly. There's no reason to think the full game would run badly since the demo ran well, is there?
Also, I just watched the WTF Is Joe Danger and don't really see the appeal. It kind of looks like any old flash game. Am I missing something?

Ubisoft Shanghai handled the port, not RedLynx

Some people claim they can at least reach the boss like 95% of the time, so there are real strategies, most of which you have to read about from more obsessive people and even then it's really hard because people end up doing little things in a special way and don't notice.
So two questions remain: How in the hell anyone reaches that point while having fun, and then once they have learned it, how they can find such an absurdly narrow gameplay experience fun. I put in 12 hours or so and never figured that out. You are basically traveling along the course you must to maximize resources, and then taking on the exact strategy you must, dictated by what you end up finding. I don't find that to be real strategy or a real accomplishment.
I don't get it, but don't get into arguments about it because people who love it have a religious zeal about the game.
I think everyone is just speculating based on Steam release dates of games (steam doesn't typically release games during summer sale), so it's possible for the end of this week.

Hmm. No new week long sales.
