Anybody have thoughts on Halo: Spartan Assault? I'm considering picking it up and then jumping into it if it's (1) any good and (2) gets Playfire rewards.

In my sleep-deprived state after becoming flappy goat, I deleted the wrong screenshot from the session and it makes me sad.
I had a really good shot of a ridiculously unfair "loss" in flappy goat where the sprite wasn't touching anything when the game ended... I wanted to upload it with a cpation of "Excellent collision detection".
Instead I kept the RAGE shot from when I had 9 for the first time and then choked. Oh well.

Just finished up the speed run achievement in Escape Goat 2 to fully complete the game, unless there is an All Intensive Purposes style second quest in addition to the secret rooms.
Overall I think the first game was better executed but it is still a worthy follow up. It's not quite the Metroid to Super Metroid evolution of mechanics but that's mostly because the first game was really polished in the first place. Escape Goat 2 has a few dangling threads with some mechanics like the necromouser for multiple mice which only gets used twice in the entire game so it feels like the game could be so much more. It might just be in my head but the game also felt like it was more timing focused and reliant on player execution rather than planning but I also felt like there were many times where I was breaking the game to complete puzzles. I don't mean the ways to access secret rooms either (which were pretty clever twists on old rooms like the achievements), just some rooms with exploding boxes (ie 9-8).

for some reason I thought Galak-Z was gonna be a PS4/Vita exclusive for a while, like with xbox/phones and skulls of the shogun
turns out I was wrong
might be the game im looking forward to the most. Spelunky on space inspired by Gatchaman/Space Battleship Yamato-type 70s anime. JEEEEESUS
Thanks for posting, never heard of it, but it looks amazing!

And I thought it's PS4-only too.
If I don't get the full version I'll buy it as soon as possible, great stuff. Are you in the beta?

Having it on PC increases my interest -- I get a little leery of shmups that require you to control movement on a map instead of auto-scroll, but I'll give anything that seems to have solid mechanics a shot and this was on my radar already.
Might be the way it goes for all their games. I wouldn't be surprised to see people paying extra just to have the steam version, which is not really a good thing if it means the prices stay like that. It will be interesting to see their approach to sales and pricing in future
Ugh, I know I'm being impatient, but two and a half hours have passed since I ordered the BI Season Pass from GameAgent, and I haven't got any e-mail and/or key :/
Decided to contact support, and they said that it could take "several hours" as all orders undergo a "fraud prevention check". The weird thing is that I'm unable to check out my order status as the order number that shows up on the Paypal receipt doesn't work on the site (just says "not found").
Well, at least it was just $5. But, I guess this will be the only time I buy something from there

A couple of friends of mine that backed it through kickstarter say it's coming along nicely and the recent updates brought a lot of changes but it still aways away from the full and final product. Basically $60 now is getting you into the early access tier from kickstarter which was $55 I think and a few other bits and bobs. Bother None from InXile did say that the release price will be cheaper, how much is still officially unknown.
Looking good though and Brian Fargo is a safe pair of hands in my book.
Edit: Looking at the Wasteland 2 kickstarter page the first 3 digital only tiers are at $15 for the game only, $30 for the game and digital extra and $55 for game, extras and beta. Read into that as you will for possible pricing on release.

Its supposed to be getting Playfire rewards according to today's blog post. I bought it but I'm still at work and plan on trying it out when I get home.
I live in South America, and we always get charged with something I like to call the "Third world tax".
So yeah, the exact formula I just calculated is A = U * rnd(2,3), where A is the Argie price, U is the US price and rnd() is a random number function, with the lower end being 2 and the upper one 3.

Random aside: one of the developers of Galak-z is doing a Kickstarter for his game Four Sided Fantasy. He's also a Gaffer and developed the freeware games Perspective and The Fourth Wallfor some reason I thought Galak-Z was gonna be a PS4/Vita exclusive for a while, like with xbox/phones and skulls of the shogun

The beta uses the same Sub the final version will use.
How can you manage to find secret rooms? So far I only found one, and it was by luck.
:O

Oh, man, will it be sweet when I can stop saying that! :lol
Ah, I see
and add like 25% on top of that :/
they're both pretty decent, can't really pick one over the other, it's more a matter of style: if you want a shoot em up jut play beat hazard, if you want a strange racing dodging colors guitar hero puzzle thingie go for audiosurf

That's for hearthstone and SWTOR, but it should work for other games.
That does not work with all games. Games with launchers generally do not work like that.
That's quite on spot.
I had forgotten about that. I want to kill myself now. Can I kill myself?
And it's 35% :'(
Guild Wars 2 works that way. It even supports the Steam overlay.
yea i couldn't remember if it's 25 or 35%
i'm hoping i won't get charged that for buying plane tickets in pesos online but probably will

I decided to browse Greenlight and came across this:
That certainly sounds unique. It might have potential.

Not only online. Any kind of air travel that leaves the country has to pay the 35%, they are included in the price, though.
yea figures
probably makes it so i can't afford it
fuck
my fault for being a dreamer in a god forsaken land
It's not a game. It's a simulator. That's what goats actually do. Trust me.

How long did it take? I might do the GMG thing since it's free if you do all the achievements.

I recently cancelled my Watch_Dogs preorder because I didn't feel anywhere near the amount of hype I felt when it was first revealed.

It doesn't take too long, only a handful of hours. 5 or 6 if you're going slow?
well unless
sound like something worth your money go ahead, but with no discount it makes no sense to preorder the game imo

Space Engineers is suddenly in the Steam top 10, interesting. Time to put it on my wishlist.
Depends on how good you are at Flappy Goat.

I think they just added multiplayer which looks hilarious in the trailers.
3.5 hours. Only the Flappy Bird game took a bit time.
Not sure if recent but the Agarest: Generations of War Zero Steam page is up .

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Be careful - the game only covers the first two movies. They're adding content from the 3rd movie as DLC later.
My guess is that the DLC will not be free, but nobody knows.
It kind of sucks since this isn't mentioned anywhere on the page.

Please post impressions. I just got and sold a Blazblue booster pack, so I have some extra cash now in my steam wallet and I'm considering it since it looks a little bit like Smash TV.
HAHAHAHA
You missed the $6 preorder, unfortunately.
