I called it insane? forget that, it's raving maniac of a game (><)

also I've seen it tagged as tower defence, it's not, believe me. I don't know what it is, aside of a landlord sim, it's more than that for sure, but not tower defence, even if it has some elements that suggest it.

This game looks like SimTower, am I right?

I won Syberia, thanks Rhaknar!

Also, loving seeing the market prices on the cards for enhanced steam.

Two cards to go before I can craft an xcom badge. Loving xcom too.

Boo, no desktop porn Deques? I'm disappointed.

Anyways, fairly biggish sale on IndieGameStand

I can't show you my porn stuff, especially if it's on the work computer ;)

Not really, you have expanding ability, but it's not about building really, it's about demons, although it has similarities.



kind of (><)

I should put it on my wishlist, but I don't know :)

Welcome to the Prey club. Now install it, watch the intro, and uninstall it when you get to the alien ship.

Thanks :)

I'm surprised there hasn't been more fanfare about The Witcher 2 being on sale for $3.99 (80% off) right now. Unless almost everyone who's interested in it already owns it, which I suppose is possible. Still, seems like a crazy good deal.

The tags for some of my favorite games (La Mulana, Guacamelee, Don't Starve, Civ III, etc. . . ) have been steadily improving. I've been also flagging several trash tags that would mislead potential buyers.
I didn't flag waifu though.

Bought! Thanks for the heads up.

Waifu tag actually would be helpful for people. It's something specific, but something that could also span various game genres.

I agree, but what I hope has happened is that to prevent complete trolling, they have weighted it in such a way that it simply requires a larger amount of people to tag it as "waifu" or by not displaying it, they can experiment with how many people would generally want "waifu" as a term and enter it manually

On one hand, Yuki Kajiura <3
On the other, no Yasunori Mitsuda and Shinji Hosoe :(
I guess these are the composers?

to be honest I'm pretty disappointed with the series' soundtrack overall, being a crazy lover of xenogears' ost (probably my second favorite ost, losing only to the untoucheable nier). it's not bad, but it just went unnoticed for me. I enjoyed the music box song from xenogears half-showing in xenosaga 1 but other than that I can't really remember any tunes :I

if only we had it on steam. :(
some day, boy

some day

Xeno1 was scored by Yasunori Mitsuda (who also did Xenogears), but was fairly disappointing affair (his strength is in celtic stuff, not orchestral songs)
Xeno 2 was scored by Yuki Kajiura (.hack//SIGN, Madoka animes) for movies and Shinji Hosoe (Ridge Racer, 999, Ibara) for in game music
Xeno 3 was sole Yuki Kajiura job.

Wish they'd keep Mitsuda for at least few major themes throughout the series.

Oh, and if you loved Xenogears, do try Soma Bringer OST, that's the closest thing to a Xenogears sequel music-wise.

the other thing that's weird from xeno 3 but may change at one point is that it feels too easy. been destroying every boss and every dungeon without effort so far :/

So I got an ending in cherry Tree High Comedy Club. Now I understand why there's jobs and skills. Since there's no way to recruit all six members unless you level up all the skills it seems. Gotta say though I have no interest to back to it anytime soon, unless the ending is just that good. Sure it was Persona Social Links the game but it was still a little bit weak.

However I started playing Thomas was Alone and i'm quite enjoying it aside from this one level that was just hell to go through.

Ep1's ost was great, they just did a terrible job actually using some of the tracks

Tracks like this one was used in like 1 scene >_>

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc7p3u5UJpw

and the 2 theme songs were great and actually fit the theme of ep1 and 3.

The problem was that the ost was probably made for a longer game in mind, and they ended up splitting 1 game into 2 episodes and then 3.

Will wait for the inevitable Humble Disciples bundle.

I don't remember Disciples being in bundles except once, and it was an older game.
Then again, may be I missed it.

Someone of steamgafers wrote about this game, and I got impression it's not as simple as it looks.

Thomas was Alone is a charming game, and this narrator is just perfect for this game, no?

why the fuck dont disciples 3 owners get this for free, isnt it the same game?

For the same reason we don't get any remakes for free? Remakes take some work, you know ;)

Over 200 new objects on land and sea; 13 new neutral units.
for example

could be. ep 1 is really weird with the lack of background music on most gameplay sections and a single battle song for the whole game, even against bosses.

might listen to some of the tracks on youtube, maybe the soundtrack itself is better outside of the game than in it.

it wouldn't be the first case

The final boss had a different theme and was used once the entire game :lol

Have you played it? If not, you really should, I rage quit yesterday when
the legendary hero killed all my demons in one stroke lol
But I'll get back for more. So if I'll go crazy, you all know why!
I haven't. I really really wish for Android version though.

It's much more than that too. There is no genre to describe it, though, unless we make "games that can drive you crazy" a genre.
It's sort of demon collecting, breeding and training, light combat, world domination and evil landlord sim (><)

It's almost impossible to beat him the first time he appears, you're expected to lose to him let him take the money and don't put your monsters to attack him.
