Anyone knows what happened to Oniken since it has been greenlit? The last update is half a year ago
I can imagine that it's not strong by today's standard, but I seem to recall I really enjoyed the entire game shortly after release. Even though the gameplay wasn't very strong back then either, it was at least enjoyable. Best part of the game was the story and atmosphere anyways, so as long as the gameplay isn't cumbersome, it's all fine and dandy.
Then again, since I haven't touched it in ages, my memory might just be fooling me

I'm still not sure which I like better between Supreme Commander and Forged Alliance.
Forged Alliance is better overall, but it made every flying unit useless. It gives 0 reason to make a bombing run since bombers can't even break shields now. Sure, they have more HP now, but they are still useless.
Another effect of the air-unit rebalance is that gunship have so low damage they have trouble killing tier2 units but their HP and armor are so fricking high they live forever. It's even more visible on the experimental gunship (although that one does descent damage)
So yeah... still undecided.

Try asking them on twitter (@Joymasher or @ThaisWeiller) all I know is they have been working on their new game Odallus.

I'd say the combat sucks, but RPG mechanics wise it's fine. Writing and atmosphere is where it's at.
Daaaaamn, that game was on my wishlist and all, I was reaaally looking forward for it. Thanks dude!
Congratulations. Last daily will be tomorrow!
Combat isn't the best, but I liked it. Atmosphere is where it's at. Although the game was a bit too long for my taste.

Still pretty early in the game (about 7-8 hours) but yeah the combat isn't great, at it's semi-serviceable. The writing and the atmosphere are carrying me through it so far, anytime I'm not fighting I really enjoy it
Did the quiz thing at the start and ended up with Toreador
I agree with this. The town layout is also too confusing for me I forgot everything about it just 2 days of not playing.

I didnt know if it worked. I just checked my Desura Keys and I am sure I activated the Indieroyale for mine. So might be that it was already used somehow. Sorry bro.
I write you a PM. Maybe this one from IR works then.

I think the next step is to start adding leaderboards to games that don't have them.
Np.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Is that possible without internal access to Steam and whatnot?

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.
Hopefully everyone who won a game today enjoys it. Be it tanks or waving a torch around in the Pacific Northwest or bringing forth Total Annihilation for a new era.
As for me, Pid went a strange direction there where it became a box moving game and while I had no issues with it and it was a bit fun with the puzzles at first, it never really quite became all that interesting or challenge outside of one that did trick me into thinking it was more complex that it actually was.
I am hoping the challenge rooms have good use of the slingshot mechanic, that has promise the game hasn't done too much with as of yet.
Also the game's villain is named Ken. I don't like that.
Word of advice, don't be so afraid to just use the various powers/items given to you. The game can be forgiving for bombs and the super jumps being found by destroying enemies or coming across vending machines.

I will fly to China tomorrow. Hopefully I wont have any problems accessing Steam. I know some pals from China, who dont have problems and when I was there 2011 I also never had any problems.
Hope it stayed the same.

So Nidhogg was my game #100 and Banner Saga is going to be my game #101. Nice.
I actually just got sent the key for Banner Saga from GameFly but it won't activate on Steam yet (not surprising).
Also, if anyone is on the fence r.e. Nidhogg, just get it. It's awesome. The single player against bots is decent enough. The online multiplayer is not as cool as in person, but even at 66% as cool it's still utterly fantastic. The ebb and flow is amazing, and clawing your way back from almost certain defeat (and how it's directly mapped onto actual map progress left or right) is really amazing. So much better than watching a life counter go up or down a-la Samurai Gunn or whatever.

XCOM EU on Classic Difficulty is brutal.
Seriously :/.
I just had my first encounter with the
. All 4 of my squad K.I.A. It was going okay too until
decided to show up for the first time in this playthrough :/. The campaign overall is in such a parlous state I really don't see how I can triumph from here but I'll see it through to the bitter end. Even if I fail [likely, very soon] I might pick up some tips to help with the next bash at Classic. I am enjoying myself though, surprisingly.
It was DarkLordOffAliSurvayYesThatIncludesuBowB4urMastahyaiisrly12butdonttelldamodsordhwontaprovemahacctlol59334, wasn't it?

Really on the fence with Banner Saga. Just that tactical rpg's aren't my thing. Game does look awesome though...
Ah well, hope you enjoy your latest pickups

Papo & Yo was visually magical to me, very memorable and some of the chalk effects were straight up Ghibli. Art and sound design were top-notch, down to the instruments used. Also, dat lighting.
Using a favela as the setting for a puzzle platformer with shifting geometry was kind of genius. The Brazilian influences felt genuine, which pleased me, but Quico's robot being called Lula was slightly obnoxious since a political reference adds nothing to a game like this nor to its themes. It's a minor quibble, but it did take me out of the game more than once since it's said a lot during the gameplay.
I found it interesting how
Monster's moods changes
simply dreading the frogs as I just wanted Monster to stay peaceful, and not only from a gameplay perspective
him being repeatedly grabbed and thrown around

man MGR is awesome. I can't wait to Rapelay replay the levels after the end. Just finished mission 1 and apparently missed a couple fights

Ah mazes, be it real life or in a game, just place one's hand on the left side/one's eye on the ceiling if 2D side scroller and just keep following that because eventually it gets to the end.*
My earlier quibbles aside, I'm quite happy that Pid is now keeping things so fresh and different from section to section.
