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.

Pandora Hearts anime OST by Yuki Kajiura is amazing. You guys should listen to that. Was surprised when I saw on her last.fm page that she also composed for Xenogears.

gamersgate is getting hammered. is down for the 10 count. I can't even check the deals on the sega games D:

no wonder, basically everything Sega is discounted -75%
I still can get on, though

 

[MMBosstones86]

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.

Thomas was Alone has the best voice over since Bastion. Enjoy the 3 hour ride.

 

[bobnowhere]

PIxeljunk Monsters Ultimate Edition added to the latest Indiegala. One more steam game to come as well.

Probably just from people going there and trying to redeem free Dungeon Keeper (judging from the posts on this forums).

Man, that GOG Valentine's day deal is amazing. System Shock 2 for 1.5$? Who could say no to that?

I was going to skip this bundle but with both Shooter and Monsters I'll have to reconsider.

yup, very sluggish

Man, that GOG Valentine's day deal is amazing. System Shock 2 for 1.5$? Who could say no to that?

It is amazing, both deals are insane, unfortunately for me, I already have most of those games, all from D&D deal.

The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 1 Free Weekend

Speaking of, Steam users who've yet to install the games won't be able to retrieve their keys to register on GOG for their free "backup" copies:

I can't say I see the logic here.

Edit: Uh, never mind. My brain left but it came back.

Actually, I'm an idiot. It just dawned on me that if the flags were left intact those who downloaded the game over the weekend would be able to register their keys on GOG without paying a cent.

Whoah, hadn't noticed Blazblue got released. Come on ASW, don't fail me now.

Wait a moment please, JaseC is fixing the steam DB! It's still in MS Access!

 

[Madrugador]

Free Weekends have been great lately.

Too bad I have most of these games :/

 

[Arthea]

Why can't I download Witcher 2 yet >.<

Why you haven't it yet, is the better question!

Spoiler

as far as I noticed, you need to restart steam for a free game to appear in your library

Jasec will correct me, if I'm wrong.

Aha, thanks!

Now to see if it actually runs on my laptop without melting it.

 

[dark_inferno]

Wait. You can get Witcher for free on GoG because of the Steam Free Weekend?

Edit: Or not. Valve was clever enough.

 

[Garcia]

Welp, GOG collapsed, lol. Still struggling.

Damn.
I need to buy that D&D bundle, c'mon GOG.

 

[JaseC]

Damn.
I need to buy that D&D bundle, c'mon GOG.

There are, like, 2 or 3 (edit: 4) D&D games I lack on GOG and don't already own on Steam (where applicable), but I expect Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast to bring the D&D catalogue to Steam eventually.

 

[UnrealEck]

$2 for NWN Diamond on GOG.

What is this madness?

 

[Deques]

Wow! D&D deal over at GOG? Must buy!

Oh wait. I already got them all >.<

I own (and played) exactly 0 of them, so yeah, great bundle for me. 15&#8364; for what, 2000 hours of content?
Dunno about Dragonshard, Demon Stone and Temple of Elemental Evil but the other are supposedly all masterpieces. Except NWN1, but whatever.

And Baldur's Gate 1&2 with mod >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Baldur's Gate 1&2 HD, right?

I remember Temple of Elemental Evil being absolutely trashed when it came out but everyone seems to praise it these days so I presume it got fixed.

 

[Knurek]

And Baldur's Gate 1&2 with mod >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Baldur's Gate 1&2 HD, right?

Nah, not really. BG1EE was terrible at launch, but the devs seem to have patched it just fine. Same with BG2EE I'd guess.
IMO what the EE editions lose on pricing, they gain with +1 to Steamscore.

 

[TronLight]

I remember Temple of Elemental Evil being absolutely trashed when it came out but everyone seems to praise it these days so I presume it got fixed.

The first review on GOG is great:

Ah Temple of Elemental Evil. And also: -UGH- Temple of Elemental Evil. No other game deserves High praise in quality and also be told that it stinks. To understand how a game can be so good -and- so terrible you must picture the game being created by two people: Adam the smart, and Joe the Idiot.

To the Combat of Temple of Elemental Evil I give a full 5/5 stars. To the REST of the game I give 1/5 stars. I guess that makes the game a 3 star game on Average. No matter how great the combat is (And it is great!) having such a mess of everything else in the game is no excuse. Full 5 stars should be saved for games that can do both of these things right.

But since removing it would save me just a few cents, I'll go aheahd and buy that too.

 

[dark_inferno]

I remember that one. And the review is right... besides giving everything else 1/5 instead of 0/5.

You cant go wrong with Baldurs Gate,Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights. And Planetscape Torment has the best Story of them all.

Does the Circle of the Eight MOD improve the game in any way?

 

[Da DreadLord]

Anyone know if they are thinking of making an enhanced edition of planescape too?

 

[dark_inferno]

Does the Circle of the Eight MOD improve the game in any way?

I never played that one. But a friend of mine told me to install it because its "so damn good". Personally cant say that much about it.

 

[RionaaM]

Dude. . . Alpha Centaury & System Shock at $1.49 on GOG. Happy Valentine's GAF!

Tell me that Little Big Adventure and Twinsen's Odyssey are that price too.

On second thought, don't tell me that. I shouldn't buy more stuff. Besides, I found the PS1 port of the first game to be much better than the PC version. At least that one didn't hurt Twinsen whenever he hit a wall while running.

 

[Tenrius]

I think I might need to revamp my category system. I've been putting all platformers into the "action-adventure" category and I also have an "action" category which should be divided into "FPS", "TPS" and "multiplayer".

 

[FloatOn]

$15 for Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within is nice, but it's a pity the latter isn't discounted separately.

such a pity... I've been waiting on a separate discount for quite awhile now. Once it does hit it will be a good excuse to finish off my play through.

I'm also really tempted by that 17 dollar Arkham Origins but I told my wife I wouldn't buy another game until Dark Souls 2 so there's that. I really don't have time for it right now anyway.

 

[Ravensmash]

I'd reinstall System Shock 2 (and give it a good go) but I seem to recall modding it to look decent by modern day standards took me bloody ages. Forgotten what half of the mods are now.

Is there not an easy, collection of mods all in one ?
