Nice! Free games
The Russian subs are region-locked so I'd err on the side of caution.
Edit: Here's my unwanted Avencast key:

That sounds like all kinds of wrong. Guarantee it's a ARMA 2 key and not a 3.
Arma 3 hasn't been on sale anywhere close to as cheap as sleeping dogs has.

Thanks for the key JaseC
cool they should do more of these, I got the post apocalyptic mayhem game too last time =0
I had to just set it up so both GMG and PlayFire used the same email address and password for it to go through. Seems there is a bit of conflict in how they send them out if you have any variation between the two.
If you don't have a Playfire account, that's why.
If you do and evrything is the same, bad rats chewing at your internet, keeping you from free games.

Very basic and repetitive. The level design is uneven, most areas are small and segmented but a few are relatively open with multiple paths. No level touches the scope the original games or Dishonored had. The stealth mechanics themselves are competent but nothing interesting. (Throw a bottle to distract a guard, stay in the shadows, etc.) There are only three enemy types in the game, and only one of them acts significantly different from the others. The hub world is confusingly designed, I've probably spent an hour or two in them trying to find the exit with the hilariously inaccurate minimap. The music would be generic in any dudebro shooter and feels wildly out of place here. The art design for the city itself is above average, but everything blends together and no part of the city feels distinct. It's just a thoroughly mediocre and unambitious game at its core, I honestly wonder why they bothered making it and who they think it is for.
I just logged in to my Playfire account and realized that I had to confirm my GMG-account there. So now it worked! :-D

Is this the open world one? I've always wanted to check that one out.

It's really fun so far (2,5 hours)! Zelda meets Metroid (duh) meets Nacho Libre movie if it was good (meets memes and references)
Yeah, Guerilla is the open-world game.

Has anyone heard of or played this Iron Souls game? It looks mediocre at best but I was hoping for some opinions.

The devs are waiting on the money from groupees. If its as big as they expect : They drop the keys on the Groupees page. If it isnt : You need to email them and ask for a key.
yea it took a lot of things from other games and simplified them, some platforming sections remind me of super meat boy too and the skillsets is like viewtiful joe, although it controls different from all of those games, I thought it's pretty cool.

Guerrilla still has GFWL, doesn't it? Slightly aggravating, that. Wonder if Nordic will ever get it replaced.
If only Guerilla had a fun and interesting way to travel around rather than being a boring, lazy excuse of using less assets, Mars. Yes i get it's Mars and red and dusty is the theme, but that doesn't mean it has to look so lifeless, not even real Mars is that plain.
A fun jetpack, super jump, rocket skiing a la Tribes, interesting vehicles, anything. Would make such a difference.
Oh well. Also to anyone getting the game, I really do recommend playing the game on Easy. The difficulty isn't actual proper difficulty any the game, nothing is increased in challenge, it's just the amount of annoyance and spawning of enemies with awful A.I. as you increase their damage and lessen your health with ever increasing response times that does nothing except annoy most every gamer. You lose nothing by playing on easy, you still have plenty of enemies that can kill you, you just want be so frustrated by bad programming and friendly NPCs won't die instantly.

They feel scammed by Groupees since they won't get the money they expected, so they won't put them there.
So much drama around keys for greenlit titles lately.

Thanks, I already have an account on GMG and PlayFire but if you use the same info you get the email anyway. So if anyone was wondering, there you go...
Hey Nacho wasnt that bad...
There's been rumors that some russian traders that bought ROW copies of South Park at russian prices have gotten their accounts restricted. Pretty shitty to punish them just for taking advantage of a badly set up AllowPurchaseFromRestrictedCountries flag, which Valve could've easily fixed in mere hours if they cared.
South Park didn't have the flag at all until 7 days ago. A bit more info here.

I wonder what those indie devs are thinking they would get... like 10$ per copy in an PWYW bundle?

My only use of turd points was to lower some discounted games when applicable on galastore. I don't think I ever entered one of the giveaways with those points, though I could just have forgotten.
Having played the game, I think it deserves less. Chunky resolution and bad controls.

Well, BM11 sold 41000 times, if the dev wants to spend next few months manually parsing emails, he can do it. I wouldn't think he does though.

Thanks for the impressions.
Humorously enough, I still think this game is gonna end up among the top 10 NeoGAF GotY 2014 list, like Tomb Raider 2013.
I'm rolling my eyes at those trying to get a ROW copy of the game because "the RU sub was retroactively region-locked". Yes, OARIC was removed months ago, but it was re-added when the game was made pre-purchaseable. They don't have a leg to stand on.
Thats terrible
I hope whatever punishment those users face is temporary and not permanent. Most of the blame should fall on Valve and Ubi not traders helping each other out smh.I played a little bit. I didn't have any problems searching for games. The game is kinda buggy though, last time i played the achievements didn't work.
and thanks Super Inframan for the game!

He only got $2000 for his game that no one ever heard of before the bundle. The game which got greenlit partly because of the attention the bundle brought. And he had to do zero work.
What a scam!
A x$/copy calculation is bullshit for digital distribution, especially for smaller indie bundles.
Thats terrible
It's not Valve's job to clean up after third parties (which is also why Valve refuses to help consumers in these matters) and the traders involved were knowingly exploiting a slightly convoluted loophole. If Ubi had stuffed up and put the ROW sub on Eastern European stores then I'd agree, but considering the situation I can't say I'm shocked that Valve may have taken action against those who benefited the most from Ubi's little oversight.

I don't think so, I'm not hearing many good impressions in the OT. Besides, it's still early in the year. Surely something better has to come out.
