You are exactly right. Its unfortunate that Ubisoft doesn't care enough to fix up those games.
At least Chaos Theory works perfectly. I would like to go back and experience the original and Pandora Tomorrow again.

It turns out that it will be slightly cheaper for me if I buy it through the developer site. I guess that's a win for both the developer and I.
I am in the UK by the way.
Having read how to get a Paranormal Steam key from Desura, I've decided to finally add games / bundles (indieroyale) I own to Desura, just in case.
I don't know if I'm not used to Desura UI or if it's just a bit unfriendly, btw to add a game and get a Steam key, once you do the sign in you have to:
Go here (Gifts?): http://www.desura.com/gifts insert the key and press "Activate Gift"
Go to your account page (click on your username), select GAMES tab from the mid bar (not the one in the top!), click on the game name, you get to game page.
Click Play game, an on-window pop-up will appear, then select view keys, then Steam key.
Eek!
134 games!

I would do that, but I don't even know which bundles I have have Desura keys and I'd have to manually input every single one of the keys on a service I don't give a fuck about.
I'm more amazed that there's already a bunch of games on my Desura account from being automatically assigned by some bundle(s?) site.

I bought this during the steam sale on griefs recommendation and haven't played it, shame is me
Don't worry, what else were you meant to do with it?
Haha cheers for the info I neeed those upgraaades. Will I have enough for everything by the end, or should I be really choosey?. I played Doom 1 and 2 alot when I was a kid but honestly it's been a long time since I played a proper classic designed FPS. Maybe Unreal 3?
Hilariously, I googled it, and the top hit was your tweet asking the devs about it haha.
That is too funny lol.

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.
It's Indie Royale, which is run by Desura.

I don't really remember. I'm quite sure you can unlock almost everything, but I don't think you can buy every upgrade for every weapon.
If you buy the rocket launcher, buy the laser guide too.

Yeah, it's a shame.
I want to play the whole series, I'm going to buy the other games in the next sale, but not going to be able to have Pandora Tomorrow too it's going to bug me.
So guys, anybody bite the bullet on Volgarr ?
As an aging old fuck nearing its 35th birthday, I get Rastan vibes. And that is good vibes mang. Butttt, at the same time, the dev insistance about how it's so oldschool hard is off putting for me. Don't care for difficulty, don't care for limited lives etc...
So how is it ? How hard is it ?

No Yuri card, no KOF sale for me!
Duckroll has been yammering away at me to get it and that it's the greatest game ever... but then again, it's duckroll, so... it's probably incredibly hard - which is the reason I'm not getting it, because I skipped the whole early generation of console games, I was more of an adventure gamer.
I know the guy who did the music for the game, and it's a pretty great score. It's such a shame that the game didn't come out very good and more people didn't get to hear it.
Still, he now has a Star Trek credit in his resume, that's a pretty great thing to have.

Thank you Gvaz!
Volgarr is fun.
Im so freaking happy that I began with PC gaming about 4 years ago. Just thinking about all these awesome and special games I would never enjoy or try out is kinda scary.
I have other gaming machines (PS3, X360, Wii U, 3DS, Vita etc.), but my GOTY list will probably be dominated by PC games.

I'd love to see him do a futuristic sci-fi/espionage game. Something like what Undercovers would've been like if it took place in the Mass Effect universe.
It's around the same level of difficulty as a Ghouls 'n Ghosts title, I think, but not as much of an asshole about it, if that makes any sense. It's tough, you'll die a lot, but those deaths feel like they come much more from a lack of mastery than sadistic level design.
Each of the main worlds has a mid-level checkpoint and there's no lives counter unless you're playing on The Path of the Valkyrie, which are more challenging alternate levels you gain access to by completing the previous world skillfully.
Definitely watch some streams/videos before you make a final decision if difficulty's a sticking point, but I've been having a great time with it.

Papo y Yo feels
+ Very pretty, very pleasing use of color
+ Very laid back pacing in the first half is pleasant
+ Love the design of the main character
+ Dug the subject material
+ Port is nice and has a ton of video settings
~ Soundtrack was nice at first but lacked depth, never felt emotionally resonant
~ Puzzle design never really got gratifying, but never was outright bad
~ The flashback scenes felt a bit heavy handed
- A couple of the latter puzzles repeated tasks too many times
- The ending went on for way too long, could have been a lot more concise
Overall I was quite pleased with it at 3.75$. I don't think there is enough design or content there to justify the 15$. It took me 4.4 hours to 100% the game, probably 3-3.5 to roll through the story.

Spend all the money on :weed:.
Please tell me I'm the only one who defaulted to Quake 3 upon reading "Proving Grounds".
Yea, I usually just go to MvM when I want to be bullshit overpowered.
and 6 !premium server joined now, screw it i'm out.
At least put a notice in the server browser title if you plan to use !premium in your server :|

Been watching quill18's video series on Europa Universalis 4, think I'm going to download the demo and give it a shot. I've kind of found Paradox's grand strategy games to be a bit impenetrable but EU4 is supposed to their most accessible game to date. They had a person solely dedicated to working on tutorials in EU4 and they've improved the U.I. a lot over EU3 based off of what I've read.
It's the Rastan sequel we never had (not counting the PC Engine Legenday Axe games, Sacred Armour of Antiriad, nor the mediocre at best Rastan 2)!
For now (just booted and arrived at 2nd checkpoint) it plays exactly as the first Rastan, save for spear throwing (spears can be used as platforms), and rolling.
I'd say, buy it without hesitation
Okay, I'm going back to it now PS: I'm almost 40 so don't worry ;D
PPS: I bought it from here: http://volgarrtheviking.com/ devs got bigger cut!
I would have thought there would be a tag for that. But that's why I mostly stick to one server group when playing TF2.
An interesting point about this. Back when Gunpoint came out, Tom Francis actually had to come out and ask people to stop buying at his site. So many people were buying direct that it drove the game off the Steam top sellers chart and that lack of publicity that comes with charting on there was actually costing him a bunch of sales.

Nuuvem has currently quite a few good offers. Dishonored is 15R$ (~5€ and Fallout:NV Ultimate edition is 10R$ (~3.5€ and Bioshock Infinite 45R$ (~15€ . Unfortunately, many of the other discounted games aren't steam reedemable codes, but I think it's worth to have a look.
I'm on the fence about buying Anno 2070, but it says that requires Uplay. I thought Anno was steamworks, but I'm not sure if it will activate on Steam.
Also, does that game still have that awful DRM?

I'll note that Dishonored itself at such a cheap price is a good deal on the count of Bethesda has since Fallout 3 forsaken separate app entries in favour of Steam sub bundles, so if you're holding out for a deal on Dishonored GOTY as a whole, then you may be waiting a while.
Slow down when throwing any type Smoke, flash or nade. - Fixed
Thanks god. All the freezes whenever someone threw a grenade made the game unplayable at times for me. Hopefully this'll put an end to that.

I could try and reinstall the game to see if I've lost a copy because I replaced a dead gpu.
It still uses TAGES, but no longer does changing GPUs impose a further activation. A random SPUF post states that a user's account is given four activations per month, with one being automatically revoked every four weeks, but who knows how true this is.
Just download a crack. Nobody will judge you.

Thanks for the impressions. Still thinking of grabbing it. Will probably end up doing soon.
Chart on Steam or bigger cut?
I don't know, direct sell grants you an immediate boost to your pockets, but a good position on Steam charts "could" raise the bar of interest in the game, probably assuring more sales even in a short term too...
Aaand I'm guilty, I bought Gunpoint from Tom Francis site
dropped the last of my wallet funds on ►
money well spent.
I hope Steam Wallet funds fall out of the bag if you stare at it long enough.

I don't think that's anything to feel bad about.Aaand I'm guilty, I bought Gunpoint from Tom Francis site
Anyway, Crazy Viking doesn't seem to be worried about it and the game appears to be getting great word of mouth, so to anyone who's on the fence just buy it wherever you want.
FYI, Nilansan noted that if you're in the UK (or EU) the cheapest place to get it is actually their site since they charge in USD.
