:lol I'm pretty sure you bought that and gifted it faster than it usually takes me to buy stuff myself, taking into account the minutes I hover over 'buy' and think "fuck you steam, you've robbed me again." Thanks again mang!Peronthious said:

Yeah this 4pack happened pretty quick. In matter of minutes everybody was happy. Except me, because my PC still isn't working, but hopefully that's going to get resolved this week.MaritalWheat said:

Just got out of a couple twenty minute matches of Plain Sight. The game is a blast. It take a bit to get used to; you have to kill enemies to rack up energy, then detonate your character which converts that energy to points and kills people in the radius. I suppose this is there to make up for the relatively simple mechanics of the actual game. If you try and keep racking up kills and piling up energy for a massive explosion, someone could kill you and then all of those kills will be for naught. That these mechanics take place in an environment with nutty physics and gravity coordination make them that much better.
Well worth the $7.50, or even full price at $9.99.

Thanks again. Transaction was lightning fast.

i love that you grow bigger and bigger as you get energy too, you can end up enormous. plus i think you steal all of someones built up energy when you kill them, so when you get lots everyone will be out to get you. i think you get a multiplier as well though as you build them up so you can't just explode every time you kill someone (well you could but thats not necessarily the best strategy).
i do wonder if it couldnt do with some slightly more complicated mechanics in the combat, but maybe there is more to it once you get good

Sorry guys, I had work related stuff come up and was away from the PC for a couple hours. What is the status on the 4-packs? Poweld, does your group still have 2 free spots? I will still start another pack if needed, but we should fill up your 4-pack first. Doesn't matter to me if I am paying my $7.50 to someone, or buying the pack for others, as long as everyone gets the game.
EDIT: Poweld seems to have filled his 4-pack. Does anyone else want to get in on the game? I will start another 4-pack if people are interested. $7.50 each. This time, I will not disappear for 2 hours.
PM me with your steam account email if you want in.

Messed around with Plain Sight for a bit, and while I'm horrible and have yet to figure out the subtler nuances of combat, just moving through these levels is fun in itself. I'm happy with it.
CTF seems like it'll be a blast, once I get a better at actually killing dudes.

Simplz Zoo is pretty neat. Your zoo requires monthly upkeep which determines how many resources you must collect in the match-3 part, the money and building materials you collect in the match-3 part allow you to expand your zoo, and your expanding zoo unlocks more features in the match-3 part. Each half feeds into the other. There's a mostly linear progression through the various animals and buildings, and as far as I can tell there is no way to lose the match-3 part, but the constant unlocking makes it addictive. Definitely worth $5.

Plain Sight is well worth the money. I played 4 rounds and did pretty good.
I just realized that "Q" and "LShift" are used in the game. You think they would have went over that in the tutorial? Also what is up with SHIFT+TAB not bringing up the Steam overlay?

I was winning at one point but then somehow after I clashed swords with ghst (at least it looked like it was him) I somehow ended up in first person spectator mode and couldn't get out.
The game is great fun, but massively bugged right now. Of the few things I'm noticing:
-Servers dying
-No kill registering
-Achievements randomly not activating
-Steam overlay doesn't work
Once they fix the issues, the game should be a bomb to play. I've already learned to hate gravity in this game, specifically when it pulls your ass down when you're *this* close to getting a goddamn red lock.
if anyone is finding plain sight frustrating to control (finding a setting suitable on my mx518 was impossible) the dev's have confirmed it's a bug whereby they've set the x value at double the y. patching it out with the first update.
(in the mean time you can correct this if you with some mouse customization software)

Where is mid-week madness? On Valve time? (Yeah, I'm guilty of having a sense of entitlement.)

It's not so much confusing as it is complex. You're trained to be used to a single surface/source of gravity at a time in almost all platforming/shooting games, even Galaxy, for the most part.
Here, you're in proximity to multiple sources of gravity, and as far as senses go you're used to training your eye on a single surface (typically the one in...plain sight) and expect the gravity to hoist you that way. That's where the confusion comes in, when you're either not aware of the closest gravity source or think another surface is and your player gets pulled in a direction you're not expecting. I've had dreams where I've jumped in mid-air and all of a sudden start falling sideways; this kinda feels the same.
some of the maps are pretty confusing, spiral can get real crazy if you end up spinning around the middle part..
the more conventional shaped ones are a bit easier to get your bearings in.
controls pretty well with the 360 pad since you don't actually need to aim that accurately if anyone is having trouble with the mouse.
someone ought to do an official thread, game deservers more attention than it has got so far..
