I'm on my 16th run in One Way Heroics and the depth of the mechanics keep surprising me every time. The new Perks that you unlock can be pretty much exploited as much as you can; depending on the terrain of certain seeds/dimensions you might want to duplicate a specific perk (like cliffhanger or swim coach) in order to reach out those otherwise inaccessible treasure chests.

The dimensional vault is finally starting to shine brightly. Having all the best weapons from your previous run stored (with all the improvements and attributes embedded to them) is a huge incentive to keep adventuring. Trying to perfect each dimension is definitely a rewarding challenge.

For a $2 bucks 150 MB game it completely bitch slaps dozens of RPGs out there that have no fucking clue of how to deal with their NG+ approach.

Impressive.

Dissapointed with Vanguard Princess

The game base is awesome, but the game truly feels like the freeware version put on the steam store. No steam overlay, online, achievements, or anything like that

So basically you just pay for an english translation? Alright.

Well, the one thing I always wanted out of a Riddick game was the opportunity to not play as Riddick so this is right up my alley. :'(

Sums up the issues with a Riddick MMO game right there.

 

[Copons]

Kind of a disappointing AMA.

 

[Knurek]

Not a problem. I'm working on yet another update for Opera that should fix a few more problems and add a few more features. Stay tuned.

It's really nice being able to again see green on the store page.

I have a spare Velvet Assassin key, but I don't remember if it has been used or not. I think not, but I'd rather not bother ModBot for this.

Quote this post to see it.

Holy shit, the carrier command remake is 90% off.

Is it any good?

Has everyone here already voted for The Floor Is Jelly?

Giant Bomb Quick Look

So pretty. And the music.

40 MB, actually.
Other 110 MB are DirectX runtimes, which aren't even called due to devs putting the vdf file into wrong dir.
Also, fun fact - the original Japanese version of OWH was (or still is, not sure) freeware. Hide your pitchforks though - $2 is really not that much to pay for the great localization Playism guys did.
Here's to more doujin games coming through.

Hey man, that looks gorgeous. I up voted it.

The Floor Is Jelly sold me simply on it's premise. Everything you touched being jelly.

Holy shit, the carrier command remake is 90% off.

As long as you can deal with incredibly dumb A.I. , from both your own forces that you don't directly command and the enemies, it's not bad. Though quite honestly other than graphics being a possible issue, I would just say play the original if you can.

Ah, about time he put it up on Greenlight. Someone mentioned the game a month or two ago but at the time his latest comment on a Greenlight submission was in the form of this unabashedly negative post put up just three months after Greenlight launched.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABE

AMA got Valve-timed eh.

We all went hard on 'em because the game looks pretty good. I wonder if they saw the hits they were getting from this thread.

 

[GaussTek]

From what game is that, if I may ask?

Are there any mods to fix the ai?

 

[TheSeks]

So, which of the Need for Speed Shifts is worth buying?

Not a bad weeklong deals, for once. I'm actually shocked. I'm kinda wanting to get Getting Up, but I've told myself I shouldn't buy more things since I still haven't gotten through all my stuff I've bought already and am planning to get Dark Souls 2 though. D:

 

[MRORANGE]

I bet Doug Lombardi is threatening Gabe that they will make L4D4 if he reveals anything HL3 related in the AMA, it's not the first time he's gone to drastic measures to silence Gabe.

 

[The_Monk]

Indeed. Last week was also really good with games such Binary Domain and Alpha Protocol. Not sure if I should pick up something for my racing needs.

 

[Rhaknar]

south park is the top seller atm

 

[Kifimbo]

.

Thanks!

Been playing some games.

Some tl;dr impressions:

OMG Zombies: Decent, but little depth.
Hoard: average. Bonus point: a game with playable dragons.
Guacamelee: really good.
Escape Goat: short but sweet.
Sonic All Stars Transformed: really close to greatness.
The Swapper: slow but fun.

 

[Wok]

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABE

I guess deleting the comments was not the smartest thing to do. When you get a billionaire to do an AMA, you should not be that strict.

 

[Copons]

Uh, I've noticed that between the weeklong deals there's Wake, which I have in wishlist but I've totally forgot why.
As reviews on Steam are kinda cold (60% negative), anyone here cares to try to make me remember why it's in my wishlist?

 

[KenOD]

Are there any mods to fix the ai?

The only modifications to the A.I. are through pathfinding (where to go, making sure they don't get stuck) when it comes to altering the islands or making new ones, which doesn't really help all that much when it comes to actual combat.

Thinking of posting my own AMA just to catch the Gabe AMA hype.

More like "I am not Gabe Newell, but I can still change things on Steam. Ask me anything!"

I think, I did. At least I've seen it and remember.

From what game is that, if I may ask?

Skyborn, I'm playing through it now.

"Can you change Steam so that Gabe answers questions on Reddit?"
"That doesn't make any sense."
"But can you?"

I'm searching for all the games in that list which I haven't heard of before. It includes La Mulana and Kairo so there must be some other hidden gems.

40 MB, actually.

Even more impressive. Such a compact game packing that much depth. Also, no pitchforks raised at all, they deserve all the money for their refreshing and innovative ideas.

ohh, Expeditions: Conquistador, nice

spares for GAF...

Thanks for the giveaway

Check out BasketBelle (still not greenlit), The Real Texas, The Sea Will Claim Everything or Sokobond.

So I guess the AMA was cancelled?

These things, they take time.

 

[Stumpokapow]

I played Tomb Raider for over two hours today (went from 13% completion to 35% completion). Then the game crashed. At no point during that period of time did the the game save LOL.

 

[wilflare]

finally read thru all the posts :O
why is JaseC stocking up on them AvP games lol

Trying to get fired before you get hired? hahah

um...not yet

It has auto-save...how is that possible?

 

[catabarez]

That doesn't seem right. Did you go to any camp fires?

you should take this as a sign to stop playing that terrible garbage

 

[Stumpokapow]

That doesn't seem right. Did you go to any camp fires?

Yes, obviously. And unlocked stuff. And went through plot points. The game saves every 45 seconds or so. But I guess since the game hard-locked my PC, Steam Cloud didn't sync and when I launched the game it didn't give me one of those save conflict dialogue boxes so tough shit for me I guess.

I would be pissed off badly, not loling!
Do you plan to replay it again?

 

[JaseC]

I haven't bought spares just yet, but the reason is that Sega is going to lose the licence eventually, at which point the games will be pulled... but having said that, with Alien: Isolation releasing later in the year it's obviously not happening any time soon so I may hold off for now -- an Aliens franchise sale prior to Isolation's release seems like a no-brainer.

 

[Momentary]

Guys, if Xrd doesn't make it to Steam, I might have to buy a console. I don't want to buy a console.

Holy moly this thread has exploded today . Time to catch up
