I hope it turns out serviceable, I wouldn't mind playing through for the environments and story/music, which has been the highlight of the first for me (on the last chapter).

Aaaaaaaand I just got stuck in an endless combat loop.
Yup, Dead State is hilariously unplayable right now.

It's on sale here too. But I'm more intrigued by the Rome 2 VS CoH2 event.

Seems to be, I'm currently trying to convince myself not to buy it, since I already have the retail release & GOG version, but after much procrastinating, I'll probably cave.
I'm hearing bad, bad things about Dead State, even beyond expected beta issues. Unfortunate

I'm really rooting for Brian Mitsoda's triumphant return.

Thank you Accent for Luxuria Superbia.

More like his buggy mess of a game returns.
I hope the 3-5 months period they gave is enough to polish the game.
Does the 25% coupon work on strider?

yep YOGCST-BESTYT-EVERRR worked for me.
Yeah, I noticed that the other day, when I saw that the top two "recommendations" I got were Stump and Cheddahz more or less saying, "Stay far away from this game if you value your sanity".

Did they just added it to the client?
that sucks. not that I have time to play it right now anyway.
I hope they fix it up though. It seems like it has potential.

Just signed in and found out I won Dear Esther from Accent! Thank you so much!!
Also I just finished Papo & Yo and holy crap did that get dark quick. I didn't care about the characters at all until the revelation that
. Poor Quico. There's a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense to me (
), but I'm sure if I look at it again I'll understand. I did find the narrative pretty disjointed and weird (like I had no idea how to reconcile Alejandra's behavior to Quico). The actual mechanics of the game were mediocre. Puzzles weren't very difficult at all, platforming was sloppy but serviceable enough. The atmosphere was great: all those high-rise buildings and chalk drawings and the way things unfolded. Really imaginative. That aesthetic really compelled me to finish the game whereas the characters and plot for the most part didn't. I just wanted to see the next area. The frame rate was pretty wonky, but that might just be because I'm playing at the lowest settings because my computer is shit and not a gaming pc. Moving the camera around always made it chug, and it's not like I could avoid moving it around.
All in all, I'd recommend it. It's short enough to finish in a day and I'm sure puzzle platformer fans would find it up their alley.
I think I'm not really a fan of puzzle platformers in terms of mechanics. The things that really compel me to finish them are either the characters (ICO), the atmosphere (Papo & Yo), and/or the plot I guess. Even in the games I liked, I had to take frequent breaks because I kind of got tired of playing it. I'm kind of disappointed, because I like puzzles and I like platformers. You'd think this genre and I would hit it off straight away, but I guess not. Oh well...
Also I just finished Papo & Yo and holy crap did that get dark quick. I didn't care about the characters at all until the revelation that
Monster was his father all along and all those actions as Monster were euphemisms for his abusive behavior
like the slow motion car sequences, what the lemons represent (hookers? and did he sexually abuse Alejandra?)

actually this YOGCST-BESTYT-EVERRR is applied to your'e entire purchase. It's 25% off.

This is useful, but I expect it to be abused to remove helpful tags.
That tag is pretty much the reason why opening tagging to users is a good thing.

listen to the mad man
Just reported maybe 200 tags (yes, seriously)

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Great, now I'll have to resubmit 200 tags.
You gotta escalate, man. Go for 300!
On a more serious note, I'm amazed they added this before they added "only people that bought the game can tag".
You've done good work.

They need to use a word filter or something like that!

Anyone use dosbox? I am trying a free shareware game and wondering if there is a way to get the game full screen? some command maybe?
Alt-enter should work.
Also, you can edit the dosbox cfg file to set fullscreen=true

But it is not on Steam. Origin is the last place I would buy games from.

How come the first two Metal Slugs aren't on steam? Seems random to just put part 3.

But it's free!
Metal Slug 3 is the most popular and best selling of them all, so its an easy test game to see if the others are worth bringing over.
I wish Metal Slug 1st Mission and Metal Slug 2nd Mission would be released somewhere though. I liked having different paths to take through stages, but it needed more buttons for weapons than what the Neo Geo Pocket Color provided.

Buy from Green Man Gaming then.
That might be the option I would do.
Yeah, I know. But I had personal horror stories about buying games on Origin. So come release date of that game, I would wait a little bit before getting the game.

The Steam front page featured section is hilariously awesome right now (to me, anyway):
Call of Duty: Ghost - Huge budget AAA
Morph Vox Pro Voice Changer - Voice obfuscation software
Descent - 3D space shooter from 1995
Blazblue - Anime-styled fighting game
DayZ - Open world early access multiplayer
Dream - Indie exploration
South Park - RPG based on a 16 year old cartoon
etc.
What a nuts-o dichotomy of different stuff, all in the spotlight on the front page. What a cool, weird time.

If it's not misused by people without a clue. For example Kingdom Tales does not belong there. Many idiots will just look at the screenshots, make assumptions and then tag away.
