Zafehouse: Diaries --MB-67B8E043012AC9AD- Taken by derExperte

Grabbed that one, thx! I played the demo/alpha a while ago and thought the concept was better than the execution, curious to see if they improved it.

Just finished The Swapper. It was definitely a good game: mood-setting music, an interesting mechanic, difficult puzzles, great atmosphere. The only thing is I have no idea what the hell the story was about. I had my sound on low if on at all, so I missed most of the dialogue. I also didn't know what to make of the watcher's thoughts. I gave a cursory glance to the logs and the messages from home, so I kind of get it? I don't know, I feel like I missed out on the story. Anyway, it was pretty cool regardless.

Nope, I haven't yet. I was actually just about to do that, so you saved me the effort of googling it

Glad to help. Perhaps I should play the game as well. It'll now go high up on my 'next to play' list.

Is there a zombie game that gets the planning portion and the gameplay both in sync and fun to play?
The sandbox types (Project Zomboid, 7 days to die) are all sorts of clunky, outside of the understandable early access hurdles
But the other side of the coin is largely run and gun fps'.
I feel like State of Decay gets both aspects right.
This isn't directed squarely at derExperte of course, I just agreed with their opinion of zafehouse

I believe State of Decay is the best you will get at the moment, although it isn't without its flaws and limitations (a sequel building on the base would be very welcome).
It's currently $36 on nuuvem. Was $33 not too long ago on Gamefly Digital. I'm sure it will be even cheaper in the not too distant future. I'm trying to wait until it goes sub $30.
It's a Squeenix game, it'll hit the (digital) bomba bin by the end of the year.

What's with all the Soirées Roman pictures?
This is the steam thread.

She's kind of our unofficial mascot right now.
She is the salt that flavors our tears.

You're welcome! Hope you enjoy it.
Our mascot should be some strange mixture of Saoirse Ronan and Gaben, combined into one ultimate mascot.

If only Valve did have external support staff.
In our hearts you're SteamGAF own official and personal Steam support .

That's pretty neat.
It seems Murdered: Soul Suspect's in-game guide isn't going to be DLC so I think I can skip the pre-order phase and wait for a sale. I suspect the game will bomb and lead to Squeenix severing ties with Airtight, leaving the studio's future up in the air.

Square Enix are basically mastering the art of making bombas in the last few years, so yep, I believe Murdered will bomb hard too.
It is known.
Assuming Squeenix does pull a Capcom and leave Airtight high and dry, I wonder if the studio will shut up shop or try to pursue a future in mobile development... and I also wonder if Swift would try to get her old Valve job back in either case.In our hearts you're SteamGAF own official and personal Steam support .

Just got back from TAFE and omg, a new steam thread.
Woo.
I recently purchased NAIL'd since it was $0.99 and it actually seems to have a good amount of positive reviews, really excited to try it out.

I was amazed at how bad it sold on steam. It dropped off the top positions on the best selling list rather quickly.
I'm also amazed by how well South Park is doing. It has been on the top selling list for nearly a month now. It completely deserves it.
Yeah, word of mouth goes a long way. Black Flag enjoyed similar success last year.
Edit: Does anybody know if the bikes in Nail'd are licensed? I can't seem to find anything about this so I assume not.

I still assume that they moved Tony to that project too. A console would need a lot of marketing and Tony was really good at that.

From the comments made by OR staff, it's going to be business as usual after the acquisition. Of courswz with significantly more backing than before.
I still have a difficult time believing that they wont have to bend to corporate interests at one point, as Facebook's model is much different from the Rift. I am starting to leqn towards optimistic.
Yep, word of mouth can do some amazing things. Banished is proof of that
I don't think the bikes on Nail'd are licensed, but I'm not really sure. The game does have licensed songs though . Not sure how often do games get delisted because of licensed songs expiring though.
Also, stupid question, do Ubisoft eventually remove region locks on some of their games? I got Blacklist Deluxe RU for cheap a few weeks back. It's completely region-free, but I could swear that the game had a region lock when it released.
Ah, I was aware that the game featured bands but the store page says they were used for a "unique, original soundtrack". The lies!
Blacklist has always been region-free albeit with an Eastern European-specific sub.

What about the Fast and the Furious weekly? Is that licensed?
Uh oh, found another treasure trove, eh?

Ah, yeah I probably shouldn't expect much considering it had such a deep discount.
It's a shame Disney hasn't put Pure on Steam yet, I'd totally buy it if it was on Steam.
Yep, it is licensed.
Do you know other examples of games being removed because the soundtrack licenses expiring? I know that GTA Vice City got removed from Steam for while because of it, but I don't remember any other examples.
Anyways, will probably stock up on a few Nail'd copies.
Not sure if you are aware of this or not but the digital deluxe edition is $1 cheaper than the standard edition.
Yeah, it's the worst video game tie-in ever made.
I've only bought six copies since I have some bills coming up, haha. I might buy some more if the Weekend Deals are a bust.
Hitman Contracts took forever to come to Steam because of a song licensing issue.

uplay strikes again.
Yea I thought that was weird. The whole Ubi sale on GMG is Uplay codes I think.

Is it really?Yeah, it's the worst video game tie-in ever made.
I haven't looked up any reviews or gameplay of it, but...Is it really worse than stuff like Green Lantern Rise of The Manhunters or Battleship?
Yep, knew that one too (though it is a different case
)Gotta stock up on a few copies of Fast and Furious and Nail'd, buy Castle of Illusion and the Bundlestars Simulation bundle. My wallet is crying
but it will laugh later, eventually.
Gotta say, as bad as the game is, using your car as a ramp/to catapult others seems like some nice dumb fun.
