Created a curse account, apparently keys are only for premium members or something. Says I'm ineligible and asks me to upgrade to premium.

 

[Kammie]

I think it's still in beta, but you probably just have to join the group.

It's still in closed beta. You can join the group to reserve a spot, but it's likely not far off from being made public.

Edit: Beaten.

D'oh. Thanks guys.

 

[rookiejet]

Are you unfamiliar with the concept of a beta?

He/she did say "at the moment". But thou DARE not criticize Steam, heathen!



Disclaimer: I haven't tried it, but the features list is missing Last.fm, so...

Let me tell you how un-next-gen Steam is...

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Weird, so Q Games never ported Pixeljunk Shooter 2 to the PC? That's a shame. I guess PJS1 didn't do so hot for them on the PC : /

They will probably tackle that soon or later, seeing that Pixeljunk Eden did so good on the Steam sales.

You should let Valve know that they mislabeled it according to your knowledge then. What a grievous oversight on their part.

I was merely commenting on the current state of their Music beta... I don't know why that's so offensive to you. I never said it wouldn't improve or that they wouldn't add the necessary features to make this thing worthwhile.

 

[trailmix16]

beast boxing looks surprisingly cool

I'm premium. Do you really want one ?

 

[Nabs]

Sang-Froid is pretty good so far (just finished up the tutorials). I usually hate playing TD games, but something about games like Sang-Froid and Iron Grip make it fun. I'll be going back to it once Stallion leaves me alone.

 

[TheFightingFish]

Y'all need to play those Pixeljunk Shooters that folks are winning in this thread. I had it from an earlier bundle and just beat it recently. It's not perfect, but I found it to be a pretty enjoyable little light shooter. Nice for when you want a little something shooterish to play with a bit of thinking and without going all stressful bullet-hell. I love the look and feel as well.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Weird, so Q Games never ported Pixeljunk Shooter 2 to the PC? That's a shame. I guess PJS1 didn't do so hot for them on the PC : /

Pixeljunk Monsters: Dec 2007 on PS3, Aug 2013 on PC
Pixeljunk Eden: Jul 2008 on PS3, Feb 2012 on PC
Pixeljunk Shooter: Dec 2009 on PS3, Nov 2013 on PC

Both Shooter 2 and Sidescroller were 2011 games on PS3. I'd give them a little while.

 

[Backlogger]

I am having a lot of fun with Pixel Junk Shooter. I haven't poured hours into or anything like that, but lately its been my go to game when I know I don't have time for an extended gaming session. Plus it has trading cards. I got all the available card drops really fast but have yet to get a booster pack.

Anyway, I would welcome a sequel on the PC

 

[Rhaknar]

no mystery games on new indiegala, boo. still good bundle tho

thought bemine 11 would be today, guess not

 

[mannerbot]

Anyone else have impressions on Oniken? I'm surprised that toddhunter hated it so much. I trust iconoclast's opinion and he likes the game:

I do think the game is pretty fun, so I'm not trying to hate on it or anything, but there are still some major changes I would make. Like I said before, I'd have your lives and total score carry across all stages. You already get a bonus 1000 points for each life you have when you clear a stage, so being able to stack them would create an incentive to beat the entire game without dying.

I'd also get rid of the full health refill you get whenever you enter a new section of a stage. Instead, I'd just place a couple of health packs in fixed positions in each level (and make some of them risky to go for). Doing this would make the game a little harder (which is good), and it would also fix a problem with the scoring system. As it is, the best way to score is to rush through a level as fast as you can for the time bonus - it doesn't matter if you take a bunch of damage along the way because 1. you'll get a full health refill soon, and 2. you don't get any points based on how much health you finish a stage with. So that leads into another change I'd make: give the player a reason to avoid taking damage by having your health directly affect your score. The randomized items can be pretty annoying as well.


And finally, I uploaded a full playthrough (incl. cutscenes) of the game here if anyone wants to check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU-3k8VayN4

And the feedback in the Oniken thread was mostly positive in general.

to be fair, the "update is taking forever to download" bug was annoying as hell. i paused it and it's been sitting in my queue for a month now, and i haven't played since then because of it. not sure if it's their fault or steams though.

Thanks for the offer, but my niece just offered me a beta key, and it worked. She had like four for some reason.

Actually I was wondering, does a regular key gives gift version too? because if yes, it's 4 pack right here in the bundle!

DiRT 3 and DiRT showdown any good compared to 2? Thinking whether I should pick up the bundle, haven't finished 2 yet.

 

[Nabs]

 

[JaseC]

$14.99. Releases February 19th/20th. Capcom's pre-order history suggests that the incentives are unlikely to be released separately, so if you're at all interested in them I'd jump on the game before release.

Edit: That's what I get for writing a blurb.

Dirt 3 isn't as good and Dirt 2 but worth it IMO. Dirt Showdown not so much.

That ain't cool capcom.

Going to be getting some nice new headphones and sound card soon. Recommend me some games with great sound(can be great effects or just the overall soundtrack of a game)

Hopefully I have some that you guys recommend

Previous pre-order incentives unrelated to DLC were never made available for individual purchase, and even those relating to DLC are a bit spotty (e.g. Capcom released Lost Planet 3's two item packs but not Remember Me's Combo Lab Pack).

 

[Anteater]

Dirt 3 isn't as good and Dirt 2 but worth it IMO. Dirt Showdown not so much.

Thanks, I'll give it a go, since I don't own the overlord games either
