I'll have to find a cheaper alternative to steam as well but having to wait for it to arrive is going to kill me...
I guess amazon is the way to go.

Wasteland 2 should be coming out of Early Access pretty soon, I'm excited for that one.
They are actually livestreaming right now http://www.twitch.tv/inxile

I'm very tempted, but I'm going to have to wait a bit until I have the funds for it. I am however looking forward to seeing some impressions from you guys that bought it and actually play your games.

I already bought that one...I really need to login to my Kickstarter someday. That thing could launch and I'd probably miss it...lol

RE: Raffle timing, the timer starts ticking when you CREATE the raffle, not when you post it. So if you create a three hour raffle and then come back an hour later to post, it's a 2 hour raffle.
RE: Games making it out of early access; I think the presumed arc is 6-9 months in Early Access, right? And it's been 9 months, so you'd really expect most stuff from the beginning to still be in early access. I mean, like I said, a lot of this stuff is more about iterative development rather than beta testing. Notably State of Decay was early access and is now released. Insurgency just left Early Access. ArmA III left early access. Electronic Super Joy. Don't Starve. Not sure how many others.

I'm the same way. I've almost bought games I was owed thanks to Kickstarter.
Installing Divinity Original Sin now
Not comparable with anything I've ever played. As a big space exploration geek, this is the perfect game.

Looks like it, it would send me a PM showing the same person winning a giveaway 3 or so times @_@
Tried out Saint's Row 4, laughed my ass off, but gotta go to bed soon, will play some more tomorrow and hopefully I can somehow get the main game for under $15 through GMG soon XO.
It seems that I had a 5£ voucher so the discount price helped. If you are looking to buy local I'm not sure if you are going to get any decent price, I'm afraid. Either way I'm always checking here and there for any good local deal so in case I find something I'll be sure to send you a PM as soon as possible.
This is the other game I can't wait to get it, thanks for the link, saved for later!
Such a major disappointment. I can barely play the game on my terribad PC.
Slipped under my radar, thanks for the link!
Hope they add achievements and cards as well. Only increases your revenue potential, especially the latter, the former is more indirect.

I am so upset that I only donated 50 bucks right now.
No problem. The way they formatted their list of improvements looks like all but the last line is a minus, and only the 'little bit of this and that' is an actual addition to the game
Also gosh it always takes me 2 full minutes before I realize that you're Grief since you changed your profile picture. Earlier today I was like 'it's been a while since he last posted he must be on holidays or something'
Got em
Probably better off, I prefer to wait for games to be completely finished.
If you really want to get in they are about to post a $10 option for people such as yourself to get into Beta.

I do the same thing, I generally recognize people by avatar. Real pic January is screwing up my perception of posters!
I got Dark Souls as a gift during the sales .... and I heard in another thread that it will stop using GFWL sometime this year
A friend had some trouble losing his save and things like that when one of the Batman games lost GFWL support ... anyone had problems like that ?
Should I wait to play Dark Souls ?

Just got that answered in the chat. I'm probably going to pass, A) for the reason you said and B) I only missed it by 5 bucks. Not too keen on paying extra to beta test as one of the first backers. Not anybody's fault but my own, but still.
You should play Dark Souls right now. Period.
Some of us like the War Economy.

Play Dark Souls now. There's no reason to wait, or even worry about your save.
I was also able to save my Batman save just fine.

Damn, I missed multiple calls to avoid this game
It's average at best, well whenever it works that is. But yeah, chief complaint more than any is the scripting, it's horrendous. I've had to restart checkpoints more than once just to try and get things moving properly.
As well as that, I've had multiple crashes, the combat is like something from a cheap bargain bin title, with extremely jerky animations, random weapon switches, not being able to switch weapon and at times getting stuck in iron sights. At best, whenever it works, its simplicity is cathartic.
Eurgh, night and day from having just completed Shadow Warrior. I'm wondering if i would have been better just playing the original RotT.
You're actually paying full price for a complete work product. The thing is that it hasn't been released yet at the moment of purchase, so the devs allow you to play some pre-release versions until it's out. But you'll get the full version once it is.

My favorite thing about ROTT is how effectively the enemies blend into the background scenery, even while firing at you. They also hate moving, which amplifies the effect. They are like an army of invisible turrets.

I really want to play wasteland 2 but I don't want to pay $60 bones. I hope it comes out for realsies soon.
Considering how some of the puzzles worked in Year Walk they kind of have to rework those puzzles for PC... cough/
I'm not a big horror fan but I really liked Year Walk (but I contend Device 6 is better

Ooh, Divinity is up?
Yeah, the damage feedback is terrible, it's so hard to find enemies that shoot at you!!
Argh, I need to vent >_<

Yep, I've picked it up as well. Looking forward to giving it a go.

I think Early Access itself is not a bad idea, it just has an image/positioning problem.
I feel like it is presented as a "give us money now to buy this half-finished product" type of deal, while it actually should be positioned as "pre-order our game and get it on release, in the meantime you can play our development builds and tell us if you like it".
While technically the same, the second way of looking at is is much less misleading about what you actually get.

It's been a few years, but as I recall...
If you played Spell Force 1, then SF2 is more of the same, but harder - there are difficulty levels though. I thought the campaigns were reasonably well written for both SF1&2. I don't recall details of the stories, but I enjoyed it while playing it. It's motivating enough. You will learn the controls quickly and I don't recall having any problems with units doing different things than I told them to or such.
If you are susceptible to carpal tunnel, you might have an issue. If you've played SF1 you already know about it. It's relatively minor, but I definitely felt something - nowhere near the effect from the constant right-click-and-drag operations of Colonization, but that was in a tier by itself. If you don't care about the challenge, then you can turn the difficulty down and take your time.
