Yeah. F5'ing seems to get past it sometimes.

Are you 100% sure you're not in the beta? Join the Client beta and check your settings window to be sure.

Everyone keeps saying that got an email which is why I feel left out right now.
I'll check when I get home though. Already on the beta client so hopefully it's there and ready.

I want a Rift so bad. Hoping for good support, build quality and affordability.
Oh. Well that shouldn't be a problem then.

Could somebody give me a brief opinion of the games in this Bundle Stars? I'm not entirely a hardcore RPG fan but I do like some such as Mass Effect, Dragon Age, The Witcher and others similar in style. I really dislike turn-based RPG however.

I'm with Grief. Big Bomain was mediocre in some aspects. But the game was goddamned great. Some parts were far from amazing, but in general the game's dope as fuck and everyone should play it.

I just beat Binary Domain a week ago, here was my impressions:
Just beat Binary Domain. I had played a bit of it on the 360, but not too much, so most of this was my first time going through it.
So some quick impressions.
I like it! I honestly think it's a steal at its sale-reduction price of $3.74. It's got fun gameplay, it has an interesting story with characters you come to like, it has good music, and it's not a bad looker either.I'm not saying it's the most amazing games ever or anything, but I felt it was a very confident third-person shooter, and better than a lot of other third person shooters I have played. Lasts about 9-10 hours, took over 10 myself but I was playing on the default hardest difficulty.
Gameplay is mostly typical third-person shooter fair. You have cover, you have guns, you have enemies... But there's a few fun twists introduced here. One sort of staple one is the roll dodge, but I liked how they executed it. You aren't invincible, and it isn't so fast or moves you so far its cheap. It's fairly balanced, and definitely useful when you master it, but takes a bit of practice to get it down. The enemies in the game are robots, and as such they are can be and are shot to pieces, usually involving you shooting their 'armor' and then their 'core'. Headshots aren't death for most robots, and instead will just make them 'mindless' so that they start shooting their comrades. It can be fun to cause enemies havoc by turning various enemies in the room in 'mindless' robots so that they all start attacking each other. There's 10 bosses in the game, and I had fun with all of them. Some of the later ones are kinda bullet-sponges (at least on hard difficulty), but I had fun regardless.
The game also has mechanics involving your team. You have various team members, and various times in the game you are allowed to pick who you go into a level with. But this doesn't just change things on a gameplay level, but also changes the complete dialogue and look into the characters you get into that stage. You can give commands to your team, either through voice commands with a mic or prompts you can choose between. And each team member has a certain liking of you, which is decreased or increased by how you respond to them, how you treat them, if you shoot them in gameplay, if you get headshots with them near, if you help them out, if they suggest an idea if you follow it or not, etc. This is also effected by choices that happen in the story. These Team Choices ultimately can make different characters and events transpire, change dialogue in stages (which is well done, in my opinion as they seem to have dialogue for every possible combination of characters), and change you between the game's three endings.
The story is also nice. I ended up liking every character, most of the cutscenes felt like a treat to watch, and there were some good funny moments and dramatic moments throughout. The story gets a bit hammy quite often, but in such a way its enjoyable, B-grade fair with some more intelligence and tact to it.
I'd say even if you have only a passing interest in third-person shooters to buy the game when it;s on sale for $3.74, it really is a steal for that price.

Binary Domain is great. The only mediocre thing about it are its sales. ;_;
Gave me more feels than The Last of Us. Big Bo >>> Ellie.

Grief.exe I love ya man but no just no to that.
But regardless I signed the petition as well and even helped with it on twitter. Companies at least are slowly realizing even late ports to PC are very profitable. So hopefully sega starts taking the hint. At this point there's no reason for third party to ignore PC releases.
Two Worlds 2 is an extremely janky open world RPG with charm (I really liked it).
Two Worlds 1 is supposed to be pretty bad, haven't played it.
Enclave is supposed to be pretty fun from what I've heard.
Gorky 17 I have no idea.
Septerra Core is a PC only JRPG in the vein of FF7.
Septerra Core is turn based, it's kinda wannabe FF game, not a bad one. All others are ARPGs, except Gorky17. Gorky17 is kinda a hard game to like even if you like games like this, and it's TRPG, you most likely would hate it.
TW games is kinda stupid fun, it works for some people and annoys others, you might like it.
I can't say much about Enclave, except that I'm not so sure it's an RPG at all. I thought it was an action game.

Man, I love Steam.
I have had a hard run of luck with a horrible landlord not providing heat or water for weeks so I have to move. That brings on expenses that I had to pay for moving so I can't really afford games right now.
So I want to buy $20 worth of Pinball Arcade tables and I thought I couldn't get it for months.
Then I remembered that Steam cards exist... I just sold a bunch of them and I'm already halfway there!
Bless you, Steam!

rymdkapsel is now up on Steam.
On a side note I am really hating all of these phone games coming to Steam.

Two Worlds is "plain" but one of those, so bad it ends up being good. If you don't laugh at them trying to be serious and failing at FORSOOTH THE TAINT and other such goofy attempts at being YE OLD ENGLISH then you're probably a bitter old man.
Two Worlds 2 is basically, "okay we heard your complaints, lets fix somethings" but they did it in an ME1-ME2 sort of way, where they threw out the baby with the bathwater, removing everything that was awesome. Primarily, the story has more attention, but now it's just goddamn tryhard and it's fuckin boring. It has some humor, the main character still says goofy things at times, but it's toned down sadly (the first game he'd get into battle with some wolves and say "MMM BANDITS" or "looks like my in-laws") Combat is a little better, inventory is worse. They tried to appeal to the console users who complained the hardest.
Septerra Core is made by the same guys who did FEAR, and then never made another rpg. it's kind of like, imagine if fallout was a JRPG. That's mostly what the game feels like. it's not a bad game, and the plot is interesting, but it's really clunky. Then again, I have small amounts of patience for games pre-2000.
Never played enclave or gorky.
Gobliiins is a fantastic point and click game, Irem Arcade Hits has a lot of fun games and I've heard good things about Saturday morning RPG.
The rest I'm not sure on.

At some point, it clicks. And getting to the jungle is a breeze. It'll be a while before you get to the ice caves, which aren't tough so long as you have a cape/jet pack. Just play once or twice a day and it'll happen.
That's not what bothers me. What bothers me is the price they launch at. Jesus...
new http://www.indieroyale.com/ greenlight bundle.. no clue if any are good but if you act fast you can get it for under $3

Binary Domain is greater than the sum of it's parts.
Also the story implementation is terrific. My ending was really rewarding and stuck with me for a long time after. I can't say that about many games.

This. I bought 'em and I'm from Europe.
Looks like all the GTA trilogy games have a MAC version. If I was JaseC, I'd be thrilled. For me, it just looks clunky. :lol
JaseC must activate the same game again.

i'm fine with them being on there...if they either a) price as a phone game or b) make substantial upgrades to justify PC-gauging

Likewise, but atm I'm a little under and need to watch my spendings, so it goes towards my February purchases.
17 minutes to judgement. I ate some of the waffles I made yesterday. The trick is to use flavored coffee creamer for the water (ex Irish Cream).

I hear rymdkapsel is a legitimately great game, regardless of its origin. We'll see at what price it launches though. The iOS version is $3.99.

Resident Evil 5 is just dull and uninspired all-around. The only fun quirk that came out it was that massive chain gun you could unlock for Chris. Not due to the weapon itself being that overpowered or that fun, but because its ammunition backpack rendered you invulnerable to 99% of enemy attacks in the game. Couldn't be grabbed from behind by the chainsaw zombie or those cricket bugs, Lickers couldn't touch you with their tongue, no fucks given about bullets and not even rockets affected you. I've been jokingly considering doing a co-op playthrough from beginning to end with me walking backwards the entire time, effectively acting as manually moveable cover, just to get a bit of amusement out of an otherwise completely forgettable game.

shit we are getting a biblical amount of snow.
holy shit that's a good idea. We usually use greek yogurt
Sad thing is, the game was just in a Android bundle....with Kingdom Rush. Chance of Steam key is < 0%
Will wait for sale.

imo this kind of argument is absolutely dumb - look at Year Walk, Super Hexagon or Sword & Sworcery... there are plenty of incredible games that were first conceived for phones, just like there are ton of PC games that are absolutely atrocious. Would one complain that a phone port of a PC game somehow 'sullies' the platform or something?
Anyway, Rymdkapsel is absolutely great and I encourage everyone to play it, particularly if they add modes (although part of me liking it was because I could launch it in bed, not sure it'd grab my attention so effectively on a PC.)

Resident Evil 5 is my favorite game from last gen.
I honestly prefer it in just about every way to RE4. Mainly since gameplay wise it was what a sequel should be. Familiar but expanded upon the original greatly. Also I have always preferred Chris to Leon. Makes me sad that so many people dislike it just like RE6.

Seriously. I'd gladly pay for an episodic series of "Big Bo and The Wacky French Robot Get Into Trouble" or something to that effect. A Sam & Max for a new generation!
