What a waste of time, guys. Never do those puzzles, never enter DS3 giveaways on April first too. Life is a scam.

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.

Not that new, always stayed with the pc (thank god for emulators).
i've always liked games with a good story and content. I don't mind year of release or if i have to play it 640x480. All monkey islands (except for the 4th one...), the Metal Gear Solid series, Fallout (especially the first ones), and of course, the Half-Life series are between my favorites.


i can give them a try.

I'm always glad to see fresh new faces here. :)

If you haven't already, you might check out our previous years' SteamGAF GOTY winners. We typically vote on our "Game of the Year" in January and compile a list of the games that we as a community liked most on Steam the previous year.

2015
2014
2013

The stuff we like collectively seems to be story-heavy so I thought you might find something on one of those lists that maybe you hadn't heard of before, or at the very least see what kinds of games we're into.

Welcome!

This is to apologize. Is not great, but at least the game is the one I wrote. Because Moodbot changed it into Terminator Salvation.

Please assume the standard rhetoric for these cases: KT ports are terrible -- don't buy them, absolutely pathetic, lack of arbitrary resolution support is the devil, etc.

Quantum Break is 1161,99$ on the CDN Windows 10 Store. Guess there is no preload and they are putting random price placeholder.

is Starpoit Gemini 2 anything like Rogue Galaxy? I assume its more complex but hopefully not too much? I could totally go for something similar

i gotta be honest guys, at first i was completely uninterested in battleborn but the more i see and hear the more its starting to grab my attention. still not buying it on launch, but I think I'll be keeping an eye on that game, its having a beta pretty soon, isn't it? At least I'll be able to play that unlike douchey Overwatch who still hasn't let me in their dumb testing >_>

But usually they are.

One Piece has missing multiplayer, the options are broken (graphical options dont change ANYTHING), so we are stuck with the Vita assets...
Toukiden crashes unless you use the Windows 7 compatibility mode, then it doesnt crash that often.
Arslan was okay, but had horrible performance.
The Musou games before were usually using the PS3 assets instead of the PS4 one.
Dead or Alive was missing stages.


Most K-T ports are/were bad.

There are no ports in existence that frost thinks are bad. Everyone that complains about anything is a crybaby.

The bit I played wasn't that bad. But the Online Only aspect of it has killed a chunk of my interest.

playing devil's advocate (in this case, literally lol...sorry Frost), I think its more about for some / many people, the instant a game isnt 4k / 60fps its garbage around here, even if the port is or is not good

case in point, people dismissing Hyper Light Drifter imediatly because its locked at 30fps and the game is nothing short of amazing

i think i'll hold until the game they reveal is something i'm interested in which has been no games so far

tho on the above list of awesome games leaded by nuclear throne i don't really know any of them

so idk, i'll probably just continue to buy my games one by one since collecting is for dumbos :)
Click to expand...

Yeah thats probably a better idea I think. I'm not all that interested in Mad Max really. The game that is.

Renowned Explorers is a good get for those who were in on the Monthly Bundle - if it had been one of the 'known' titles, I probably would've jumped on it.

Received some strong reviews, including one from Adam Smith on RPS (whose opinion on strategy games I hold in high regard).

Edit: oh, and for what it's worth, for next month, I'm strongly in the camp that thinks Mad Max is great - it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but if the formula clicks for you, there's a whole lot of game to be had for $12 or whatever.

yea thats a huge issue, theres no reason for the single player to require online, its just bs drm, as if anyone really wants to pirate this game anyway. just use that mgs5 drm w/e its called that still hasn't been cracked as far as i know.

I wonder what the financial reasons for not saying what all the games are is... I mean, CERTAINLY they would sell a lot more bundles right?

Think it goes both ways. They would sell more bundle, but the devs adding their games would potentially sell less games at their own price on steam.
Since these are usually newer titles or at least stuff that hasn't had too heavy of a discount.

In addition to this, if subscribers knew a month ahead of time everything that was going to be in the next month's bundle, that gives people a month to decide if they want to cancel their subscription or not.

From a business standpoint, you want to go for better averages over time. They'd sell more on the GREAT bundles, sure, but there's been quite a few weak ones and those would sell far less (presumably). So the mystery aspect is aimed to keep a steady, reliable number of people paying regardless of how crap or not the bundle is.

Even with me owning the 2 preview games, this bundle would have been a wishlist win for me at that price, but of course I didn't know that. The past like, 4-5 bundles all would have been fails for me.

I wouldnt say that thats not true, but in K-T case the ports are/were bad.

The best port they have is Samurai Warriors 2-2, Bladestorm and Arslan. And even they suffer from some problems. Arslan ran like shit on my 280x/i5-4570k, that could handle Rise of the Tomb Raider on high. On my 980ti it still dips into 50fps. Not to mention, that somehow the special attacks are locked at 30fps, so while you might be able to play the game at 60fps, it looks strange, when you use the special attack.

Some games like OP had broken options like One Piece. And the button prompts are using the keyboard prompts, even if you play with a 360 controller. And its missing the online mode, while they actually charge the same amount for the port.

Then some games are missing cloud saves, thats a work for 1 minute in the Steam-API. Find the save folder, copy paste the location. Done.

Speaking of which, the regional pricing 'loophole' has been fixed after Tomb Raider, right? QB looks promising but not 60$ promising.

Afaik you can buy Xbox Live points from a cheaper region, then somehow charge your account with that and then buy the game like that.
(Not exactly but something like that, if they havent fixed it yet).
