Just completed Super Sanctum TD and holy crap some of those achievements are laughably bugged. Did a perfect run on normal and I got the achievement for beating the final boss as well as doing a perfect run on hard. Then later I exited out to the title screen and got the " beat the game on normal", "beat the game on normal - perfect", "clear Brightholme" (didn't realize that hadn't popped before!), and "clear Elysion" achievements. Super lol.
I know plenty people are pissed at this and other factors at how things were handled. At least Obsidian have been pretty upfront by saying Eternity is going to be GOG or Steam and all the extras are through their site (and there's a lot of extras).
They make fun games but CoffeeStain are kinda awful at polishing. I'm still amazed that the original release of Sanctum 2 neglected to mention tower upgrade cost, so you had to blindly guess when upgrading between waves. How do you miss that in a tower defense game?
Eternity was the last projected I backed*... but I had to cancel my pledge when I forgot all about it and consequently overspent on Steam the week the kickstarter was scheduled to end, haha.
* From the looks of things I'm going to have to throw some money towards Flying Hamster 2.
Some day I hope this comes to the US.
Isn't Ghost Recon: Phantoms supposed to be F2P? Why does it cost £15 on GamersGate?
And is the game any good?
I'm gonna try it out when I get back home.

Goddamn, that Steam thread is a graveyard.
On another note, played some Goat Simulator last night. IhavenoideawhatI'mdoing.gif
Still though, I love it.
Yep, definitely worth it. Still need to replay to (hopefully) unlock my achievements, since they glitched out the first time through.

Nah, waiting until it's complete and 75% off. Buying Telltale games early is for chumps
I like the wait and discussion. it's better to digest the episodes in my experience and it's cool to have something on the side to look up to on the release schedule that doesnt take you a ton of hours to finish
of course it's up to personal opinion but the episodic releases work fine for me
I was (mostly) kidding, I played TWD like a week before the final episode came out and can't say I enjoyed the wait. It was kinda fun speculating on what would happen I guess.
Plus my memory is terrible so episodic releases don't really work for me

Anno 1404! It's not back on Steam
yet
The Anno games look interesting. Why is this specific one not available?
Long story short, a later patch introduced a severe bug with the save system and Ubi didn't update the Steam versions as it did the retail and other DD versions, so the Anno 1404 games were eventually pulled. At the end of the last year, Ubi finally begun working on the Steam versions, a few weeks after I sent them an e-mail about it, but there hasn't been any activity since February.

Grrrr
What's with the oversized bra? You can do better than that.
Lots of skippable bundles for me lately. Tales was just on Daily Royale, kind of a dick move by the dev... Oh well.
It's build a bundle system for this one? So 2 games of your choice for $1 is the minimum.
(I thought they went away with the build a bundle system)

You can get 1849 right now on Indiegamestand for >$1.00. It's been greenlit and will launch on steam somewhere around May 5. Obviously you'll get a steam key then, atm it's DRM free. Think of it as pre-ordering!
No, for $1 you get everything in the first lot, for $3 everything it seems.
I know it's got issues but shiny water Physx be damned I'd be happy. Saying that aren't there some Steam redeemable bundle keys floating around?
That's actually one of the smaller defaults. I focused mainly on making the face as not creepy as possible
Probably, but they'd be running low by now. The game hasn't been bundled in almost 18 months.

Tecmo Koei (Europe) putting out PC feelers! Bolstered by the Sega rally, perhaps?
https://twitter.com/tecmokoeieurope/status/454200343044587520
I filled out a ton of their surveys advocating PC releases for their Dynasty Warriors a few days ago. Yay.
I noticed Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky is published by Tecmo Koei, what are the chances of those games coming to steam? I'm not too familiar with Gust
and you didn't mention the sexy beach?

Tales of Maj'Eyal --MB-FA3D5355B8D968BD- Taken by Henry Swanson
Hero Siege --MB-8FCEC93885DE1C5F- Taken by Madridista
I played a fair bit of their earlier Atelier games on the PS2 and early PS3. Gust is like an European game company, a bit janky. But you can't deny the charm that their games exudes. All in all, deep crafting system, fairly simple battle systems and cutesy girls everywhere.
0%. Gust develop mostly for the Playstation consoles, although there have been some Atelier games for the Nintendo DS too.
Everyone fill out the Tecmo Koei surveys! Be sure to mention PC Steam releases for their non-Steam games.
Atelier Escha & Logy ~Alchemists of the Dusk Sky~ survey.
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends / Complete Edition survey.
Deception IV: Blood Ties survey.
Toukiden: The Age of Demons survey.
Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z survey.
Atelier Escha & Logy ~Alchemists of the Dusk Sky~ survey.
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends / Complete Edition survey.
Deception IV: Blood Ties survey.
Toukiden: The Age of Demons survey.
Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z survey.

I'll take dynasty warriors
The Atelier games are on the DW engine now so...
Just had a look on Steam Trades and TF2 Outpost and it's not going for that much. Granted way more than I d want to pay. Any idea why it got yanked? Looking at how many publishers this had at retail I'd assume it was an agreement coming to an end of something.
Why do I get the feeling the Ar Tonelico series would be right up your street? Saying that I didn't mind the first one despite cringing through the visual novel Dive segments.
don't care for dynasty warriors but as a big fan of deception 3 i want that juicy morbid torture gameplay on my pc
i'll just fill the rest of the surveys cos i'm a nice person

That gap
He dead
Not even PSO is immune to unicorns
Verdict:
Hilariously bad story-writing as usual. PSO2 delivers on a decent MMO experience. You depart to each quest through the drop ship and you're there alone unless you make a party. Each map instance is private and I know some won't like that.
Friend-making seems hard. You must be in the same place for you to add friends, which basically means the lobby. There are also about 20+ lobbies for beginners, those who want hard quests, and free-liners. You can also opt to join parties for quests in the lobby, though I can forsee it being hard to join random parties since most will go into this with established friends.
On customisations, they're pretty good. Accessories seem pretty limited, but you can make of it what you do. Major complaint is that you can't edit the angle and placement of cat ears, which is basically the entire reason I went into this. You can shape your face and body however else you wish though. I also want a nicer outfit, but I think you can find those as you progress through the game.
After Black Desert though, they pale in comparison.
On performance, I'm playing on default, which delivers a smooth 60 fps (my laptop's limit), except for weird places where it slows to a crawl of single-digit fps for about 2 seconds. Usually happens during loading or when starting dialogue, so it doesn't affect gameplay much, but can really make your eye twitch if you're really sensitive to this.
Also hair physics are pretty hilarious.
There's also a hidden 4th class that they don't allow us to use. Asiasoft pls.
Steam overlay also doesn't work as the actual game client is separate from the game launcher.
Overall, a pretty enjoyable beta experience. *Rubbing it in your faces*

Yeah, my guess is that 1C's publishing contract expired, but the EULA still mentions 1C as the publisher, so maybe it inked another contract (assuming the game is returning).
