Incredipede has a wonderful woodcut art style and challenging inventive gameplay. Definitely worth it
paid $20-25 for Arkham Origins on release, finished it literally 2 days ago and feel like I got my money's worth. $10 is a fucking steal and everyone should jump on it.
im with stallion here, not being made by rocksteady hardly equals the game being shit. it does some really interesting, unique stuff to this one, and even if the new aspects arent necessarely the biggest draw to it, it's still super solid as a reiteration of what was previously established in City.

Is the upcoming freeze dlc included in the season pass?
If so, $15 for Origins + DLC is a great deal.
Edit: Since we're arguing whether, it's worth it, in my opinion Origins is a fantastic game. Story's great, some fun new enemy types with streamlined mechanics, bigger map, it's just an improvement in pretty much every way, and more arkham city is totally fine with me. That said, it gets major points taken off for being a buggy piece of shit.

It's probably worth it at $10 for the total package. I'm in no rush. I got the first 2 games for $5 each and both were GOTY editions. Hell, I still needs to get past the first couple of hours of City, so i'll just wait it out until the eventual Arkham Knight sale.

Strider looks fantastic and it's just a couple months old. Im personally waiting on a sale just due to backlog, but i'd jump on that probably.

Maybe he was hoping from you. Check your pm's
Actually, I checked now and it seems that the RU version is actually region-free, so those prices are probably legit

Any more impressions of Anodyne?
Never mind, based on Archaix's, derExperte's, and YianGaruga's impressions, I might as well give it a shot.

Evoland is a fun love letter to the history of RPG games, it's not great but it does a few fun things changing the game to reflect different periods in early RPG gaming. Short game, worth at least a look if you get the bundle and have reverence for that period in gaming history.
Anodyne is a really nice Zelda-style game where you get a broom instead of a sword. It's like Zelda meets Dustforce in that way, and no other ways. Worth playing.
Incredipede is a build your own creature physics based puzzle game. Great artwork, charming game that can be pretty difficult (or ridiculously easy, or impossibly hard, it's a puzzle game, these things are interpreted by everybody in different ways).
I'd recommend it, with the caveat being these games are the type to go on sale for about $2 anyway. It isn't the craziest deal Humble has done but there's nothing that's completely throwaway in the higher tier.

It does, and I'm also going to bother with online for the same reason.If it has online achievements I'll probably bother
I've got all the achievements for Arkham Asylum(GFWL anyway, Steam achievements I'm still working on the riddler stuff but have done everything else) and I'm a few off of having all the achievements for Arkham City, so it'd just feel wrong not having all the achievements on an Arkham title.
Although, I imagine no one will be playing the game online in Australia, so lag ahoy, yay.

Ooooh though call.
I'd pick Ikaruga to support the dev, but Strider is a great game and is a GotY contender for me.
I found Strider rather dull, to be honest. I enjoyed the boss fights, but overall it's really repetitious. Lots of backtracking and secrets to find, if that's your thing.

Everyone needs a SSD, best investment you can make.

I went with a 128 SSD and it's glorious. I just keep 5 or so games on it, windows, and anything else I feel needs the speed. I use steam mover if I ever want to swap games off of the drive.
SSD gaming is on a whole 'nother level, my friend, and you should get on that shit.
I'd just wait until you definitely need one, the prices are dropping rapidly at the moment.

Are you sure you need 500gb? 128gb can take care of your important programs/os. It's definitely a worthy pickup.

Is this the cheapest Sleep dogs collection has been yet?

For some reason Enhanced Steam has been not showing me prices history anymore, so I cannot check it.
I gather I may like it since I've much enjoyed Saints Row the third.

Seconded. I doubted how much I cared about or how much quality of life would be added concerning SSDs. Then I got one and realized I was wrong to ever question it.
Single biggest jump for my PC by a lone hardware change.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Server has been absolutely melting all morning, sorry for that.
You should definitely get it at this price. It's one of the few games I enjoyed getting 100% achievements in, took me 38 hours and I didn't have one moment of boredom doing it.

Is The Stanley Parable region locked? A Russian trader wants 3 keys for it.
Well thank you for it. Looks like a wonderful game to play with my daughter.
Well that definitely sold me on getting it. Thanks for sharing the link.
ShmupGAF alert:
Legendary doujin game, RefleX, will release in roughly 2 hours[/URL].
Just in case it was missed by anyone, as it's a very good game for the genre and deserves some love.

Well this is odd I buy yje humble bundle weekly and now the website isn't loading in any browser.
Played it earlier for nearly an hour, it is indeed very good. But it doesn't seem to have cards even though the store page says so.

Sleeping Dogs is great and worth picking up, but please read this first: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=106002176&postcount=1635
I really don't care that it wasn't made by rocksteady other than the fact that unlike said developer, Montreal managed to ruin the gameplay aspects that made the first two enjoyable. They sped up the timings of the enemies in the game without making the necessary changes to how batman functions. I actually enjoyed that the enemies were a bit quicker, it made each encounter more tense. The problem is that they didn't speed up batman's moves or allow the player the ability to cancel out of moves. The end result is that the player is forced to stick to a very bland and repetitive moveset instead of experimenting and varying their playstyle with the gadgets and obscure abilities. Secondly, they infantilized the players compared to the previous two by locking certain upgrades and abilities behind unrelated unlocks.
I don't see what was so great about the story either. Yes it was a bit more refined than the overly complex mess that was Arkham City, but that isn't really an accomplishment. Arkham Asylum is still the best paced and written story of the three. Overall the story in Arkham Origins was very rough and seemed like a first draft. The scene where Wayne gives his raison d'être to Alfred was incredibly out of place and is the most egregious. It is the same issue with Spec Ops: The line, they put in these scenes that are supposed to be meaningful, but there has been no proper build up so the entire experience falls flat.
The one thing I did like is they toned down the oversexualization of the Arkhamverse that has been the nadir of the entire series. Every male outside of the main villians looking like a 'roid freak is disconcerting.

I don't think DotE is getting a sale soon and will take some time to leave early access. I could choose Ikaruga first, get Strider with a 33% or 50% discount and get DotE Founder's pack before they leave Early Access.

Thanks for Offspring Fling!
Sleeping Dogs is more GTA4 than SR3, at least in tone. It plays most everything straight (except for two of the DLC packs and even those are mostly serious in a ridiculous setting) and doesn't get anywhere near the irreverence or chaos that Saints Row 3 has.
I really enjoyed it (for the record GTA4 is also the only GTA game I've ever completed) but not for open world madness or any type of over the top hijinks. And those are the things I think of when I hear Saints Row. It has great melee combat, looks amazing, and creates a more or less convincing world in a setting that isn't popular in open world games. The story is a generic undercover cop movie put into a game and is fairly predictable as a result but it was done well.

Yeah, pretty sure I'll at least need that much if I'm only using one hard drive. I could keep my old drive and install the SSD into my laptop's optical bay, but I'll probably need the optical drive in the future.
