We have all become the flappy goat.

I know I should never touch the flapping goat again but after reaching 10 it was like being in trance, the world slowed down around me, rainbows flew out of my arse and everything was well, I thought it would never stop. I must go back, must relive the glorious moments. Only one more try. Brb.

 

[JaseC]

whew, sounds like stuff i won't miss. torn between playing this on rmbp or vita....

also, is.... that site in russian?

[InfiniteNine]

Well if I ever get an Oculus Rift powered by Facebook I know I have one game that works with it! Half Minute Hero 2!

 

[YianGaruga]

Anybody know the website "G2A"? Scam or safe? I won't link to it for obvious reason but my friend is looking for BF4 and they have it for 35$.

It's not an official retailer, but most people seem to have had no problems with them. So they're not a "scam".
The low prices definitely come with a certain risk though.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Hahaha yep and just as the daily deal update timer kicked in Ace Combat went back to it's original price. I do wonder if anyone at either Valve or the publishers keep an eye on these things or just expect everything to run like clockwork?

Speaking of prices is Spartan Assault really meant to be that cheap? I know it's got some bad press but even £3.99 is 50% less than what Microsoft are charging for it on 360.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Nope, that's the latest one. Achievements should be showing up on game pages for games that have them. The issue is probably our server which dies now for about an hour a day between 10am and 11am.



Not as cool as this one!

Haha, it looks like my screenshot saw your screen shot...

Once I hit the achievement, I decided to go as far as I could. When I was done, I immediately quit and do not think rainbows will be flying out of my ass any time soon.

 

[Backlogger]

Quick, everyone buy Halo SA so that MS sees the benefit of putting their games on Steam

Edit: Weird, I was expecting it to be $9.99

Shh, Microsoft is learning! Don't look a (relative) gift horse in the mouth!

Any idea how to get keys that aren't showing up in our key area?

(IE: Dysfunctional Systems for Let's Build a Doujin bundle on Groupees isn't showing for me just Desura)

EDIT:
Same with Project Night for me.

It's Thai.

Spartan Assault is even cheaper on the W8 store right now, although you don't get achievements or trading cards.

I paid 5.99€ on the W8 app store so it looks about right. And I don't quite get the hate, it's not a deep game and there's some IAP (which can be ignored easily) but if you want a simple top-down shooter there's nothing inherently wrong with it.

You get achievments. The Xbox ones.

Well, paypal is collaborating with them so at least that gives them some credibility.

$4.99 isn't too bad.

 

[Madrugador]

Who would you kill?

 

[Mavromatis]

$4.99 isn't too bad.

You know what else is 4.99$ ? Crysis 3 at Gamestop.com but it's for Origin.

 

[Lunaniem]

Forgot that W8 games give you achievements like GFWL.

Well it's not really something worth remembering.

WOW didn't expect this. Sorry guys, got mine before they were all gone.

 

[ChimpanzeeThat]

Thanks very much for Super Hexagon!

Thanks, ChimpanzeeThat!

You're welcome, enjoy!

Sid Meir sale up on Gamefly

I've only been actively buying games for my PC since December but i've now realised i'm hitting the wall with a lot of sales, especially since i got all of those games in the Humble Bundle they done a couple of months back!

Same deal with the latest bundles as it goes, i have most of the games so i'm just gifting the rest.

 

[Grief.exe]

Got a couple of cool Kickstarter/Greenlight projects that I have found recently.

Planets^3

Looks like a voxel-based minecraft clone with a gorgeous artstyle and RPG elements. You can build your own vehicles, weapons, and character to explore the world and universe.
Reminds me of No Man's Sky in a lot of ways.

Greenlight
Kickstarter (30 hours remaining)
Trailer

Coshmoria is an interesting concept that was just Greenlit in the latest batch.

It looks like you reseed a dying galaxy with life as aliens and indigenous space monsters try to kill you. Great soundtrack.

Greenlight
Kickstarter (26 days remaining)
Trailer

They even thank GAF on the Kickstarter page!

- Homies @ Facebook, Twitter, SteamCommunity, NeoGAF & QBN for the amazing support & feedback.

 

[FloatOn]

call me crazy but I really feel like halo reach invalidated all of the other halo games.

it's the only one I'd probably rebuy if it hit steam.

edit: also I'd ignore everything halo if bungie stopped being a dick and put destiny on steam.

 

[Turfster]

Well, paypal is collaborating with them so at least that gives them some credibility.

Stop it, you're killing me.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

$5.99. Published by Night Dive. It's not quite Grim Fandango, but, hey, baby steps.

Steve, you're such a kidder.

 

[Chance Hale]

Oh my god, Harvester is on Steam. Hilarious.

Probably going to grab Half-Minute Hero 2 as the first game on the PSP was incredible and I did everything in it. Wonder what the Oculus support is.

This one looks really good/interesting. Its more like a "minecraft" evolution than a clone though in terms of the graphics

 

[didamangi]

Stop it, you're killing me.

I'll be here all week

 

[MMBosstones86]

edit: also I'd ignore everything halo if bungie stopped being a dick and put destiny on steam.

yup

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Yes, but I should note that the DLC is just bonus fluff:

Oh good. Nothing I would miss.

Huh didn't know that, even Microsoft is in on the console tax. I've had a muck about with the demo version on 360. Seams alright and does what it supposed to. Some Halo fans can be a bit over protective though I guess.

edit: also I'd ignore everything halo if bungie stopped being a dick and put destiny on steam.

Reading through the Acti/Bungie contract a few months back I get the feeling the first we'll see on Destiny on PC let alone Steam is Destiny 2: The Fatening. Unless anything has changed the first was only intended for 360, Xbox One. A PS3 version was only on the cards if Bungie could achieve feature and performance parity by a certain date and the only mention of a Windows version is for Destiny #2.

Watch Dogs is up for pre-order.

 

[JaseC]

A wild Wolfenstein appears.

 

[Mavromatis]

Just tried Project Spark on W8. It is really a good idea and certainly looks fun but I noticed that my PC isn't a Xbox One. It really lags and that lag kills the fun of instant creation. But I wish this existed at the time of Spore.

 

[FloatOn]

http://store.steampowered.com/app/243470/

Watch Dogs is up for pre-order.

oh snap. I thought this was an origin only joint.

If it isn't asscreed urban edition I will totally get it when it hits the $15 dollar price point.

 

[arts&crafts]

http://store.steampowered.com/app/243470/

Watch Dogs is up for pre-order.

Ugh ubisoft, I am guessing it is uplay

 

[Grief.exe]

Ubisoft went ahead and put the exfgls distinction on Watch Dogs restricting its use of the Family Share service due to Uplay.

Strange that Child of Light doesn't have that distinction already.

 

[Widdly Scuds]

http://store.steampowered.com/app/243470/

Watch Dogs is up for pre-order.

Aww it's mostly likely uplay since it doesn't have any steam features D:

 

[Levyne]

A wild Wolfenstein appears.

Yay

 

[morningbus]

Ubisoft went ahead and put the exfgls distinction on Watch Dogs restricting its use of the Family Share service due to Uplay.

Strange that Child of Light doesn't have that distinction already.

Ubisoft is very inconsistent with that tag. I wouldn't read into it any further at the moment.

 

[JaseC]

Yay

No Doom beta in the subs, though. Let me love you, Bethesda!

 

[Lunaniem]

Somebody fucked up with the Watch Dogs price in Brazil because it comes to under $6 USD.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

$5.99. Published by Night Dive. It's not quite Grim Fandango, but, hey, baby steps.

I was just talking about this last thread. This game is so bad it's good. Just look at this amazing cutscene, and this other amazing cutscene. So bad, but so good.

 

[JustinBB7]

Uhhhh what. 60 euros normally without the pre-order discount?

Go fuck yourself ubi. PC games are already overpriced in Europe, but they would at least be 50 besides Call Of Duty..

 

[JaseC]

Aww it's mostly likely uplay since it doesn't have any steam features D:

Uplay is mandatory for Ubi's internally-developed titles as per corporate policy.

 

[Dambrosi]

I pre-ordered the DVD version of Dark Souls 2 off of GMG today, and didn't think to check my email. I've just checked it and, lo and behold, they sent me an exclusive-to-me code for 25% off the digital version.

Fuck my life.

Still, at least it's on its way now, so I can't complain too much. SUN PRAISING INTENSIFIES
