The Deluxe edition is $49.99 while the separate game and Season Pass totals out to $12.50.
I'm kind of glad I'm not the only one who's put off by the art style in BoI. Hearing people talk about the game, I definitely felt like I was in the minority when it came to that.
From the other Dark Souls thread:
Let's all pat ourselves on the back. We made the right decision!
I tried, but the hints are just too vague. It's going to end up being some game that makes us all say "really? we were supposed to guess THAT?"
Nope.
It's not The Bard's Tale as earlier suspected; the game's been bundled before. It may be Bardbarian, though.

It looks really cool, I can't wait for it as well.
The original game just never clicked with me, the art style just looked...odd, I think the art style worked fine for a game like Super Meat Boy, but for some reason in Binding of Isaac it just didn't seem like the correct style to go for, can't really explain why but I definitely love the pixel style they're going for now, it looks a lot better now and it gives me a GBA graphics vibe that I really like.
Also, IIRC controller support built in(so no being told to use Joy2Key, yay) can't wait to use the PS4 controller on it, the dpad on the PS4 controller is amazing <3
The Season Pass only includes the King Washington missions, though. You miss out on everything else, including the two items you highlighted.
It's probably The Bard's Tale, though, but I'd be glad if it's Barbarian, I don't have it, I think.
Nope. I double checked.
Ah. Odd that the Season Pass product page makes no mention of them.
The lighting is going to be the same as the console versions. Any hopes of the game looking like the early version or even the TGS build died when Scamco uploaded new screenshots to the game's product page showing the same areas seen in the console versions.
I don't think Scamco is sitting on the pretty version of the game to repackage it later down the line as a "next-gen" re-release, though. That's just wishful thinking as far as I'm concerned -- it was a big vertical slice and nothing more.

I'm looking forward to BoI:Rebirth ― goodbye Flash! I've had WotL sitting in my inventory since day 1. I wanted to get the Dark Boy and Mamas Boy achievements before playing the expansion, but never got around to it.
I remember seeing that Edmund always wanted the game to have a pixellated art style to make it like an old Zelda game - that was one of his main influences for the game - so the art style shift doesn't bother me. To be honest, outside of the huge amount of new content, the main draw is going to be seeing this thing run like butter now it's not made in flash, ha.

9AM, whatever timezone they're in (PST/PDT?)
yea i know just tempering expectations
in fact from posts on the other thread seems like it's shitty lighting indeed
that's ok
i got just the gif for the disappointment
Go get them now! The achievements won't probably transfer to Rebirth
Excellent.

Too bad everything I've heard/seen of AC3 is super horrible, because King Washington sounds really neat.
That's like 7 hours from now.
Yeah, an hour before the general store update.
Wonder if they'll use Shadowplay for their Twitch streaming?
Biggest surprise is Dolphin got even better.
I'm just stoked we didn't get a lazy port. I wasn't aware of the lighting change until it was brought up in this thread and I certainly wasn't expecting it in the PC version, despite wanting to believe in Grief.

I have to tell you, my moral compass compels me, that the AC3 DLCs is very bad! If you'd want to play more AC3 stuff, you should just get Liberation and play Aveline's story which is kind of nice!
AssFlag is very good though!
Story aside, because it's truly ridiculous, I thought the King Washington mini-campaign was better than the main campaign. The Benedict Arnold missions are worthless, though: there's only four of them and they take less than 10 minutes each to complete, but they don't come with the Season Pass, anyway.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
First DS II PC footage today, can't wait! Those Playfire rewards and the 25% off coupon already made sure I could pre-order it, will probably do it immediatly after watching the Giantbomb Quicklook. Fun times.
A big thanks to Tellaerin for A Valley Without Wind. It's pretty entertaining so far, but quite overwhelming as well.
The whole randomized exploring seems well done. Music is a bit annoying, though.
In completely other news; I earned this yesterday and I have to say, i'm pretty proud about it.
Now for those Campaign medals...
No idea if i'll be able to master them, but i'll try.

Believe it or not, it's for playing your games.

But how much do they give for each hour played?
One million dollars.
It's based on achievements.
Nothing. You need to unlock achievements
Less than 10 minutes each is probably too generous for the Benedict missions. I remember the set being ~15 minute total.
I bought the digital deluxe a year or so ago fully intending on playing the Washington stuff, but haven't gone around to giving it a looksie. I should get my money's worth and do a re-install sometime. :/
As the later comments confirmed you have a big profile. The first time we update your profile should take 5 or so minutes depending on load. Steam doesn't tell us how many games you have, we count them as we crawl through all you achievements. If you hit refresh you can actually watch the number increase. Checked your profile just now and it all looks good.
We still track console activity (PS4 and Xbox One too) but you need our PC client to do it while we rebuild our server tracking. We did Steam first because it was a big audience on GMG.
There was a few config errors, but they should be showing by now. If not, can you submit a support ticket and PM me the number?
Still working on it. It's a huge undertaking, at least 2 more development sprints until it's done and we can test it (minimum).
Yeah, fan of it myself and I'd already got the beta and I was playing it all last night. There's no achievements during the Early Access (not unusual) but there will be a reward still for playing it.

The Campaign medals aren't too difficult except for a few maps(Top of the World Expert, uugghhh)
If you've gotten this far, you can do the campaign maps, the only tricky part about them is deciding which handicaps/buffs to use and when, once you figure that out you're golden(for the most part)
I really need to get back to trying to complete those challenges with Nightwing and Robin, they're the only ones I've got left to do and they're just taunting me with their lack of being completed.
is Castlevania: LoS2 region-locked? trying to help my brother (real-life) get a copy but it seems like it's not available in Singapore.
He almost bought the R2 PS3 copy for $75 (Singapore Dollars) - what a rip-off price..
any suggestions on where I can get a copy of it on Steam?

Just saw this. Is that about the OpenSSL vulnerability or something else?

Someone correct me if wrong but it appears that there's only one C2 version on Steam for everyone, this one, which has the "AllowCrossRegionTradingAndGifting No" flag. So you're out of luck.
add: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Tomb Edition is 'free' but cannot be bought on Steam, what's that?
The gifting/trading restriction is in force and retail keys are region-locked at the activation level for a bunch of Asian countries, same as Metal Gear Rising. If you want it now your best option is to use a Brazilian VPN to buy it from Nuuvem.
