Strategy First strikes again, huh?

I haven't played the game myself and I won't judge it but they really should have gone with a different name. It makes the game sound like some garbage tier PC game that you find in bargain bins behind the games in cardboard boxes.
what the hell is PP?

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.
While the first game was indeed incredible, I think the developers shitty attitude towards early buyers will probably put me off from wanting to buy this day one. And since I have about a billion other games to play, I think I'll probably wait until the "complete" edition of the second game goes on a 75% off sale.
Had the developers simply put the DLC for the first game on sale when the base game went on sale, I would probably be foaming at the mouth to play this. To add insult to injury, they discounted the "complete edition" of the game (that included all the DLC) before they discounted the DLC itself - and the whole thing cost less than just buying the DLC. Still mad about that.

This is going to sound very strange, and I'm not going to be able to explain at the moment, but if anyone sees the Oil Blue go up on Steam please PM me IMMEDIATELY.
This isn't a problem with Valve/Steam or anything like that. Some prior dealings with a publisher. That's all I can say. Thanks y'all!
edit: and please keep this within this thread, thanks.
Sure Chubigans.

No worries. We got eyes everywhere.
Imagine if that RPS article reminded them of your game. Haha.

I expect to see a epic PayPal trailer on my desk in the morning.
Phantom Pain?

Spring seems rather soon. The original isn't even a year old yet.

Now I'm going to be waiting up all night to see if this happens lest I miss out a la Paper Monsters, haha.

I can get behind this sentiment.
It drives me nuts when people use strange made up acronyms that add letters to titles or just defies logic.
Yeah, I don't think the name is the best, but the game itself is quite well done. It's not 100% perfect everywhere, but there are really no weak points. Even the dialogue verges on the border of humorous at times which is quite an accomplishment.
Fair points. Ironically, I ended up buying the complete version on sale after it added cards and everything, and I ended up only playing the main melee class start to finish, so the DLC was effectively worthless to me. Still got more than my money's worth though.
Yeah, they don't seem to be changing the formula up much, so I wouldn't be surprised if the game is VERY similar to the first one. That's great by me given how much I liked it, but I am guessing that is why they could iterate so fast.

I hope PP has some cool pre-order bonus at GameStop.
Hah nah its not gonna happen anytime soon. I hope.

I give them a C+ for their efforts.
====================================================
Beat Shank 2 today.
My simple thoughts.....it was decent not as good as the first.
If I go to bed and awake to find out that you were wrong, I am going to be most displeased.

My memories of the first don't suggest that the first was good at all. In fact, I was surprised by how good Mark of the Ninja was after realizing it was made by the devs that did the Shank series.

Well, I actually don't know anything right now.

No one pm chubigans until we all can stock up then.
Actually, I have a plan. You release the game, we buy tons as gifts, you pull the game, we all get rich.

Oh FFS
sorry guys, had to
Seriously though - I guess people are still buying DLC for this game which is the only explanation I have as to why they're still making it.
Disturbing shit right there :/Stay with us JaseC.. forever.. and ever.. and ever..

My time with mark of the ninja wasn't very great.
I actually prefer both Shank 1 and 2 to it. Though im in the minority for that.
I think I just have a soft spot for action sidescrollers. Not to mention those that have a 80s like action film feel to them.

People really like them some Borderlands 2. Though I had my fill with the vanilla offering; co-op's a hell of a time machine, I don't know how I clocked 100 hours into that game.
Well if this DLC is another campaign like tiny Tina's i really wouldn't mind .
If it is just a upgrade pack i will be pissed though.
Had a good time with it as well. Have yet to play the dlc though. People will have to continue to wait if they want the Borderlands 2 Ultimate Complete (We Promise) Edition

Wow Descent on Steam? I still have the discs for that and Descent 2.
corrosivefrost

yea phantom pain
see how terrible it is!?
People need to use their heads when abbreviating, if they're going to do it. Phantom Pain should be MGS
P.Uncharted 2 would be U2, not UC2.
Hotline Miami would be HM, not HLM.
Borderlands has a broken one too in that people are lazy and want to abbreviate and call it BL, but it's one word...
I think the one that drives me nuts the most is GoW vs. Gears. :lol
I like Mark of the Ninja for the exact opposite reason you prefer the Shank games, apparently. Not having to really deal with a "combat in a flash engine" feel made Mark of the Ninja all about platforming and strategy and had some really good level design and mechanics. Shank just felt kind of janky to me when I played it back on PS3 (when it came out). I thought it was okay, but it felt off to me in some way because of the engine, I'd guess. And the fact that I was getting bored quickly because I don't think there's a ton of variety in the combo system. Combined with dodging in a 2D space and I prefer 3D character action games for the most part, though I do love The Dishwasher series from SKA Studios.

Yeah, Decsent is a game I would expect to only find on GOG. Steam trying to get a piece of that classic game collectors market?
Jawmuncher

I can understand that.
As you mentioned preferring 3D action games I think that is my case with MoTN. I much prefer 3D stealth games.
So my time with MoTN always felt like something was missing.
You'd be better off with Avernum: Escape from the Pit.

So groupon is selling official microsoft refurbished controllers for $30-35, depending on whether you want a controller with a transformable dpad or not. I just got a plain white regular controller since i dont care for the transformable dpad and those other controllers look doofy as hell. I was tired of having a wired controller for my PC since I have it connected to my TV and it's kind of annoy to have that cable in the way.

I think my favourite is DS
Nintendo DS
Darkstalkers
Darksiders
Dark Souls
Demon's Souls

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I think we should all agree that the only appropriate abbreviation for Borderlands 2 is B.M.

They have been doing it all the time , just that recently it seems to be at a faster rate. The last Hitman missing came finally. Maybe SC
andora Tomorrow will.I love it when people call it Blands. It is so apt.

Pandora Tomorrow's absence is starting to really, really bug me.
Not BSDM?
