killer deal
Haha I was thinking the same. Not a big deal personally, I didn't really like it. But it still sucks when a game is pulled out of the store.

Looks like cloudbuilt is out too if I'm not late.

Once again a little pricey at $18...but it has always looked pretty fun.

So how do I go trading Total War: shogun 2, I have a free copy to trade?
Sorry just read everything.
Sorry just read everything.
Yeah, it's clearly a cost-cutting measure - AGS games can be native up to 1024x768 I believe. Much easier to do all the artwork in 320x240 though.
Series order can be looked up on Wikipedia.
Forgot to mention, but the second game has an amazing score. 70's jazz inspired I'd say.
Exactly what is he basing that on? It sounds like wild speculation and the fact that he thinks PayPal would close his account for any reason related to this makes him sound quite naive.
Given the choice between AOW3 and Warlock 2, it's a no-brainer for me to go with AOW3.
Especially since it looks like they're going with some pretty scuzzy pre-order DLC.
Warlock can wait for a sale.
Apart from G2A Reaper of Souls deal, World of Tanks is also a part.

Even assuming that PayPal and a reseller have teamed up for a sale, the idea that people would lose money and possibly their PayPal accounts due to being mislead by PayPal itself doesn't really make much sense. "Oh, we're sorry we promoted a scam, but unfortunately you're SOL. Bye."
Edit: I see the site is selling a Polish Black Ops key for $7.65. I'm tempted to jump on it as I'd then have every Call of Duty game save for Ghosts.

Why is twitch so shit? Can't watch the FtP Q&A without it stopping after every 10 seconds.
He is a mod in a subreddit where people post deals. And have seen a lot scam posts.

Exactly, that doesn't make any sense, and PayPal closing accounts willy-nilly doesn't make any sense either. Their entire business is handling money and they're known for not being a very moral company. They would never close your account unless you pulled some crazy fraud shenanigans.
Also, did this bundle key site hack the official World of Tanks site and add that info according to this tinfoil hat?

Pre-order up now. The first one was... pretty decent even if it was a bit overshadowed at the time by games like Civ 5.
$30 is pushing it...but if they have really improved on what was a solid base it could be one to watch.
Yikes. And $30 is NOT £24.99! (It's actually £18.16 at current conversion rates). IIRC the first game was £14.99 at launch. Sorry, Paradox, this is high on my wishlist but at that price I think I'll wait for a sale. (Unless somebody bites the bullet and reports that it is truly amazing.)
EDIT:
Yep, pretty much.

Pokémon Parentage Conspiracy Theorist
The smooth playback DLC is $5
PayPal being called moral... Well... That's... something.
//EDIT: Oops, misread your post. Still, seeing PayPal and moral in the same sentence is not something one sees everyday.
Last Dream
I find myself regretting that it's an RPG maker game, from low res to sluggish movement to other things. For example, there is fishing in this game, but it is of kind that was in first BoF games, no minigame involved, you just buy bait, fishing rod and click on a fishing spot. Same can be said about treasure digging, you buy treasure maps, go to spot and just press action. These are little things but if there was more gameplay involved it could be fun. Crafting costs not only ingredients but money, what is a bummer.
Dungeons have sokoban puzzles, very simple ones so far, but it's still nice. One thing that makes me worry, in all dungeons there are places I can't get to, what means lots of backtracking later in game.
Gameplay customization options are awesome, you can choose encounter rate (a game features random encounters), save option, difficulty level, skip or not cutscenes. That's great.
Complete freedom after the start sequence of a game scares me a little. Let me explain why, I don't seem to have clearly defined goal, oh I have vague one about some artefacts and have some clues, but nothing concrete. I hope it doesn't mean I have to trigger some event to proceed, because I talked with everybody, nothing happened, so now I'm just roaming new opened continent and that's it.
Like in RPGs of old the money problem is harsh, resurrecting characters costs money, which I have very little of. Of course I could switch to lower difficulty and more encounters to remedy that (it's possible to do at any moment) but I'm reluctant.
Learnt my fist skills, so far nothing very useful except of white mage skills, these are essential, as items are expensive in this game.
On the more light note, it seems everybody in game has superior taste in reading, I encountered many of my favourite books in houses already! Funny nice touch.
Unfortunately I forgot to upload screenshots yesterday, will post some at later date.

Fucking Disney, first ruining Epic Mickey, then Steam and now this.They teased it for months and then that Disney stuff happened.
Original Warlock was $20 at Launch.
It's also a really crowded market for TBS in the next 12 months, so overpricing what most folks assume is a budget game (it definitely has a lower budget than AOW3 and GalCiv3, the immediate competition), is a recipe for disaster.
If 2014 is to TBS games what 2012 was to fighting games, I could see this ending up this year's SFxTekken.

So, worth the current price, or should we wait for a bundle/better deal?
Could be worse. They could announce their own digital delivery platform for all their movies, shows and games and pull all their titles from pre-existing digital stores.
Thanks!

LUFTRAUSERS is still the best game ever invented. And I'm still too dumb to take down a blimp, always doing something stupid.
Worse than ruining Epic Mickey? I can't believe it. That was one of my most hyped games ever, and when it came out I couldn't last more than 3 hours before I was completely sick of it. It actually hurt even more than F.E.A.R. 3, because I never had high hopes for the latter.
Still, Warren Spector was redeemed in my mind after I played the masterpiece that is Deus Ex.
Yeah, sounds like some silly conspiracy theory unless if they can produce some sort of proof that at least part of the keys in this sale will be provided by unauthorised resellers.
I would assume they're talking about Team Fortress 2 keys which you can buy from the Steam market or via forum resellers, you trade them for games which someone has. But wtf 70 keys?!

so far it's a nice game, I don't regret buying it. Then again I can tolerate old school games very well. If you have what to play, and aren't dying for new oldstyle FF game, you can wait. OTOH, not that it's expensive or anything.

Redeemed? Warren Spector gets a free pass for life.
wait, so Epic Mickey never happened?

Doesn't matter. He could have worked on the new thief game and he would still be a god in my eyes.
The thing is, I have a lot to play, including a 100 or so free (and some commercial) RPGMaker games and loads of older console ones (still haven't beaten even one Suikoden/Breath of Fire games). Just asking if the game is seriously $5.00 good, or more like $2.50 good.
Could do. Personally I wouldn't recommend it as it's against the T&Cs. Your account could be banned for that, but I'll be the first to admit that's not likely.
man, forget RPG maker, go play bloody Suikoden games multiple times, it's like most exasperating thing I've read all this week. You do know these are some of the best games of all times?
It can be already too late for older BoF games to be played for the first time. I replayed those couple of years ago and especially first game feels really dated, not to mention horrible translation of both.
In my book it is $5.00 good, but Suikoden games are $60 good!

Pretty much liked it, I'm not a fan of the noise parts but you already explained the context so I guess it fits.
Edit: thank you Knurek for the gift.

Yeah unless they get remade or there's a good fantranslation for them you might want to skip at least 1 and 2.
BoF3 and 4 are among the best in the series and their translation is good at least for the era.
BoF5 is divisive, go into it expecting a different kind of RPG instead of a BoF/Turn based RPG and you may like it.

My Logitech MX1000 mouse started acting up after almost a decade of faithful service so I had to retire it.
Got a Logitech M950t to replace it. Not too shabby.

what are you even talking about? I was specifically saying older BoF games, meaning SNES ones. Why would I judge BoF, I adore BoF. Except V, that's no BoF.
I was generally more of a DraQue/FinFan guy, and I always thought that 'catching them all' in Suikoden seemed like a tedious/walkthroughy kind of task. Might look into them though, maybe after I'm done with Skies of Arcadia?
First one was actually good, done by Square guys. Nothing on par with Vagrant Story/FF12 obviously, but I happen to like Ted Woolsey. Yes, the item/spell names are truncated, but that's certainly not something game-breaking.
Second one was beyond atrocious (I think only Wild ARMs 2 has a more terrible translation), but there's a great fan retranslation for the SNES version, which I plan to play.

Bleh I'm blind, my bad man let me fix my post.
Yeah well, that's because I tried Epic Mickey two years before I played Deus Ex
Says a man who obviously haven't played World of Ultima games.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but War of the Human Tanks is the latest IndieGameStand deal. Steam redeemable, of course.
