radMonkey,

I just checked my rewards screen. It looks like they're being tracked although they haven't been deposited yet. Anyway, is this normal?

It tracked successfully that I unlocked the "Around the World on 5 Trampolines" achievement, but I didn't get any credit for it.

EDIT: The rewards page says it should be worth £0.25.

Did you log into GMG recently. Thats something you have to do to get it over there.

 

[Tizoc]

Can you wait for the mystery game to be revealed before you buy? Or will it be exclusive to prepurchasers?

You get the mystery game so long as you've paid 3.50 or more before the bundle ends within 6ish days.

 

[jshackles]

Yeah I logged in just a minute ago to check - was tempted into picking up Lego The Hobbit for $21.60. I'd probably bite if my playfire rewards credit were deposited.

 

[Tizoc]

Thanks radMonkey. Chances are there are other games I didn't get cash rewards from but The Cave is the only one that comes to mind atm >_<

Oh, where's that screen? I feel stupid but I can't find it anywhere.

Edit: Of course I finally find it 20 seconds after posting.

WB sitting on a million midway games and do jack shit with them is a dumb move.
I'd even take half ass PC releases as long as they had cards.

That's what the WB Vault initiative is for. Well, that and re-releasing Wheelman.

 

[X05]

TBH I had a nice weekend playing MGS:GZ, Thief and South Park with no distractions

Good spot on the SD reward, that was human error (mine). I've created a new config that should register £0.50 in 12-24 hours.

For the rest you'll need to submit a CS ticket and they'll credit anything you missed out on. Just follow these instructions.

Nice, Stick of Truth is an excellent game

Spoiler

not sure I can say the same of the others

And awesome, will do. Thanks!

 

[Tizoc]

Hopefully Humble Bundle provide steam keys for the beta soon.

Wonder if playfire will be offering rewards for this game (wink wink)

 

[RS4-]

Bah, why didn't I backup my FTL save before I did a format.

Any good deals currently happening on steam? Or indie titles to check out?

 

[JaseC]

Oh damn I made like ~6$ off the Thief TF2 items. Pretty swag.

Yeah, I made a little over $12 from the game's Dota 2 and TF2 items. That's roughly a 30% return.

What would you want WB to do with those Midway games?

They need to get the ball rolling on that. Gauntlet that no one asked for is just dragging feet. Should have been Gauntlet announced along with some rereleases.

Ahhh I see... gotta agree with you there.

Thanks for the giveaway. I wonder how many Bros the full version will have.

 

[Volcynika]

I think Strider not stacking difficulty achievements is dumb :|

 

[Jawmuncher]

Stuff like Psi-Ops and The Suffering deserve to be on steam and played by more people. Midway has a lot of great titles from the PS2 era that have been forgotten.

 

[Grief.exe]

I think Strider not stacking difficulty achievements is dumb :|

So if you play through Normal it doesn't unlock the Easy achievement?

That would be frustrating.

 

[Tizoc]

Hmm Groupees added black splotches to the image for the mystery game.
They look like eyes to me.

In fact looking at the image now, the white stick looking thing might be a staff, and the brown stuff appears to be a robe or clothes. Anyone have any idea what game fits this description?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Title updated/shortened.

Tsk Tsk disappointing.
Were more creative than that.

 

[RS4-]

I guess that's one way to solve the uhh...replayability side of things

 

[Tizoc]

I guess that's one way to solve the uhh...replayability side of things

I don't think it needed to do that since the game is very replayble anyways.
Had I known difficulty didn't stack I might've gone for the speedrun and easy difficulty cheevos for a little extra cash =P

 

[yuraya]

So I decided to install and play sleepy dogs over the weekend with this playfire stuff. And wow what an amazing game. Haven't had this much fun in an open world game in a while. Probably not since Vice city or San Andreas.

Great story and fun combat system. Its hard to put down strongly recommend to anyone to anyone who hasn't had a chance to play it.

 

[TheSeks]

So if you play through Normal it doesn't unlock the Easy achievement?

Play on Very Hard/max difficulty.

Right at the end level: SAM->Last level achievement+all difficulty achievements->store.

Fuck non-stacking achievements.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Looks like Dino Crisis to me

 

[morningbus]

Ooh, I don't know when it happened but I like the new title format for the thread.

 

[TheLetdown]

I didn't see much around here about it, but Duelyst was greenlit. They had me at "makers of Rogue Legacy" because I loved that game.

Fair enough, I think it was just hoping that it'd be something like Metroid, CV, etc that has more exploration, back tracking, new areas and such.

Yes, that's normal... it takes a day or two to credit fully. When it credits, you will get a check mark by it.

There's also something bugged with how that trampopalines achievement is showing up. Mine shows $0.00 too -- I posted about it a ways back, but I think radMonkey missed it.

Thread wasn't ready for prime time, should have kept in beta until needed.

 

[Volcynika]

There is just a hard and a normal one, but yes. Though I did get the speedrun 8 minutes under the par time on hard without really thinking about it. Only completed about 60% though.

Awesome! Thanks for the chance, I'll probably pick it up shortly if I don't win, haha.

I am still receiving receipts from my giveaway, like a month on. Too bad I've lost like every giveaway I've entered since then.

That is great how they were able to acquire the rights from Atari. We just have to wait for some more publishers to hit hard times for them to open their coffers and sell off some of their 'useless' IPs.

Looks like they are using their proprietary FreshEngine for this game. I wonder if that is the game's original engine that they have been iterating over the years.

As I understand it, they basically screwed over the mod team doing the remake a while back, which put them in a position to do the remake. Jerks.

 

[MRORANGE]

Thread wasn't ready for prime time, should have kept in beta until needed.

I think the kinks have worked out so far for the most part and just a few minor tweaks for May:

- Hall of Shame will come back under Misc*
- Neogaf Steam Group will be merged into FAQ
- Previous thread under Misc*
- Gaben info under Misc*
- Thread icons might come back.

Thread pace is a bit slower than usual but it's a bit quieter around these months anyway.

Someone made a new thread for the Outcast HD remake's kickstarter.

And not to spam, but here's a link to the kickstarter again too.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/outcast-reboot-hd/outcast-reboot-hd?ref=discovery

Here's a short webm file about the work in progress part of the game from the kickstarter video.

 

[HoosTrax]

I think Evoland was a bit of a bust for me -- it seemed to wrap all of the bad elements of past RPG genres into one game. The blatant ripoff of FF7 fell a bit flat for me as well. The overabundance of random world map battles was really annoying as well.

The only part I did enjoy was the Torchlight parody dungeon; that one actually felt pretty satisfying. I was kind of disappointed to see in the end credits that they mentioned Diablo as the influence, instead of Torchlight though.

 

[Copons]

Great news (for me anyway)!

Santa Ragione, the devs behind MirrorMoon EP and the greenlit Fotonica apparently didn't forget about the latter (well, earlier) game.
They're gonna release it on iOS and Android (release date coming soon, but I guess it's kinda near) and shortly after on Steam too.

Humble keys (and those bought on their site or whatever, I guess) will get a Steam key of course, and I couldn't be more hyped about it, as it's really an amazing game!

 

[JaseC]

PSA: Star Lords being 25% for a week means it's sitting at half the intended final price of $29.99. Buy it soon if you're interested.

I actually borrowed Outcast from a friend, but everytime I tried to install it, it appeared to have installed nothing at all. An obvious bug but without a modem, I just gave up on it. Always wondered what it was like...

Play on Very Hard/max difficulty.

Right at the end level: SAM->Last level achievement+all difficulty achievements->store.

Fuck non-stacking achievements.

I did that with Dust. Completed it and had 29 out of 30 achievements. It didn't give me the last achievement because the achievement apparently requires you to start the game on hardcore/tough difficulty and play through all the way to the end. I started on normal difficulty and like 20 minutes into the game switched to hardcore. I was so pissed because I basically completed like 98% of the game on hardcore difficulty. I used SAM to get that last achievement. Such bullshit. I know they do that just so that people don't switch difficulty right before the end to get the achievement. But I know I switched it basically in the beginning of the game. No way I was going to replay the same exact game I just completed. Good thing SAM exists otherwise I would of raged big time considering the effort I put in getting those other 29 achievements.

 

[RS4-]

I'm trying to remember if I've played Outcast. When I saw the other thread, I thought it was about Outlast and was confused about the HD thing.
