You need to install yourself a Steam Skin.
Does Colonial Marines have online co-op?

You are right. That sounds and looks like a really good concept.

They have those?
I think it does. It tries to connect to the internet to set up a multiplayer room when you start the single player for the first time anyway.

Heh seems like everyone hates the look of the client. It really does need an overhaul.

Yes, it's a Steamworks game.
This doesn't make any sense; after Overhaul fixed whatever roadblock it had with Atari regarding development of BG2EE and distribution of the Steam version of BGEE, the latter no longer has anything to do with Baldur's Gate. In fact, there's no publisher mentioned on the store page of BGEE at all now, so I can only assume it's being self-published.
Yep.
I was just saying that they might be soured on Steam due to that whole issue.

I just got done downloading proving grounds since the beta's out. I hope the game is good, especially since it's going to be F2P.
Here is the one I am using currently, called Air.
Pixelvision, Metro, and Air are the most used skins in the Steam thread

Speaking of Thomas Was Alone.... jesus christ the game is boring. What do people see in the game? At least Dear Esther was interesting to look at from an artistic standpoint. TWA has nothing.
Maybe I just need to experience it on dat glorious OLED screen so I can better understand it.

Might be, but I bet their steam sales still killed the other options making it worth the potential trouble. Either way I hope they make enough to produce BG3...and of course I hope that it is actually good...
Incredipede, afterfall, primordia, akaneiro, miasmata.
It didn't do it for me either. But it was ok.
I know, and I'm saying the rationale of "Atari tried to screw us over with the Steam version of BGEE, so we're not going to release the sequel on Steam even though we don't have to deal with Atari any more" doesn't have any logic to it.

The lighting in Aliens: Colonial Marines is still completely broken for me. Went through it fine the first time(as fine as it could be I suppose) but all of a sudden the lighting stopped working and everything is near pitch black, dynamic lights in particular are very dim, etc. It's weird, even did a full re-install. Perhaps my save is corrupted? Cloud did pull it back.
Miasmata is great though :/

I have read that Miasmata is buggy and nobody has heard of the devs for ages.
People also seem to be unimpressed with Akaneiro.
Primordia is great tho, you gotta keep that one.

MIasmata is perfectly fine outside of some general poor optimization/performance given the small team and a few broken achievements. Also the most interesting game on the list by far. Although La Mulana is a great game, I need to get back to the steam version and get the achievements.

Akaneiro is apparently going F2P
It's always been an F2P game. The Steam version is $10 as it includes a "Starter Pack", though once the game is no longer Early Access I assume it'll become F2P on Steam also and said pack will be offered as DLC, which is (partly) why I bought it now.

Ahhh ok. Recall reading about it in the other thread and was unsure what the deal was.
I don't think they were ever able to recover any money from the Steam sales. Atari was getting it all and, last I heard, they weren't able to get ahold of their percentage.
I think Spicy Horse is just counting on the fact that Steam users will buy anything to make some money on the game before the decision is made to make the Steam version F2P also.

You bought 5 copies already, didn't you.
Now I have the music stuck in my head. Love this game.
Mutant Blobs Attack is such a delightful game. For anyone who picked up Guacamelee, play Mutant Blobs Attack. It is a side scrolling blob platformer with the Katamari mechanic of absorbing things smaller than you to get bigger.
It is not a challenging game, but it is so fun. The last level is excellent.

Overhaul hasn't gone into detail ever since stating (well, implying) that its squabble with Atari had been settled. Whether Overhaul agreed to let Atari keep the money just to get the bickering over with or Atari finally agreed to cough up what it owed, we don't know.
Just the one.
I am thinking of stocking up on the Alien games when they're next on sale, though, as I'm sure Sega will drop the license eventually -- being able to offer all three games would surely fetch a ton of keys.Stumpokapow

The impression I'm getting from this thread is that Aliens: Colonial Marines is a must-play.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

I tried to play the Army Proving Grounds Beta but people keep kicking me out. I think the longest I stayed in a game was 0mins. Oh well, guess i'll play this game once it's out of beta then.

That doesn't sound good. But either way Atari will still be getting it on steam at some stage.
Since you're here: I accidentally clicked "Mark forums read" earlier (I was aiming for "Your posts" -- thanks, touchpad). Is it possible to undo that?
Edit: I suppose, given the speed at which GAF threads move, it'll be a non-issue in a matter of hours.

$5 for Aliens Colonial Marines? It can't be that bad.
Jawmuncher

It isn't on PC anyway
Edit: meant the PC version isn't bad at that pric e
The game is a little better now that it's been patched, apparently. It's unlikely to be cheaper in the future, so if you're at all interested there's no harm in snapping it up.
Edit: I was hoping I'd wake up to the DLC being on sale. Thanks for nothing, Sega.
It totally is though.
It's a masterpiece of horror.
Amazon is selling the Season pass for 6$
I am a huge Aliens fan and bought the game day 1. It is my biggest purchase regret in gaming history. They should pay you to play the game its that bad!

Nope, it's a vbulletin thing, irreversible.

Oh. I was confused there for a sec. Ha ha.
Yeah, I was interested during the Summer sale, but I held out for a cheaper price. I wanted some of the DLC, but I figure that'll go on sale laer anyway.
Masterpiece like B-Movie quality?
I'm not a huge Aliens fan, as I've only seen the first movie and Prometheus, so I have little investment in the franchise.
It's the Manos of gaming.
