[Ventara]

Damn, already own half of those games. Got most of them from one of those Build-Your-Own bundles the Humble had. Good bundle though for anyone who doesn't have them.

 

[CraigerGamer]

Does Steam help keep track of other Steamers you run across while playing? There have been several times (especially while playing Rocket League) where I have wanted to add strangers to my friends list, but I can't seem to find the option to do so. What is the most efficient way to send out friend requests if you simply run across someone in Dark Souls or Rocket League or any other community game?

fake edit: When I play Diablo III it provides a list of players who have have joined my party or vice versa. This makes it very easy to add folks to a friends list in case you ever want to team up again. This is sort of why I am asking this question.

 

[cyba89]

Only interested in Dropsy but the average is getting so low that it might be worth it just for that game alone.

 

[ramoisdead]

Or, you know, maybe it's still a good bundle if you own the games. You just don't need to buy it.

Here's a pro-tip for people who like games. You don't have to buy everything.

I believe you neglected the part where I said this is a great bundle. The reason I would say bad is if someone owns everything, like me, but even then it's still a great value for games from one of the better publishers in the PC scene.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

That's a great bundle! But I own everything I want =/

 

[iosefe]

Sweet bundle. HM2 is probably an addition as HM1 already had its moment

Also, I got a n3DS. Do I make you proud, Salsa?

 

[data]

I hope one of the games they'll add is HM1 and not HM2. Already have HM2.

[Tizoc]

Get hype everyone
The superior Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is almost here

 

[Vuze]

Sweet bundle, owned nothing and had some of the BTA tier games on my wishlist.
Off to the "Interested" category they go :^)

 

[louiedog]

Yes, and I'm saying the games in a bundle make it good or bad, not whether or not someone owns it.

 

[Benedict]

That's an awesome bundle.
Have Not a Hero and some version of Shadow Warrior, everything else is new for me.

Edit: Turns out I didn't have Not A Hero, just on my wishlist. and I didn't have the Special Edition of Shadow warrior, just vanilla.
So the bundle is even more awesome than before.

 

[neonglow]

I own most of the Devolver titles from all the previous monthly bundles and Steam sales. I guess I'm in for the $1 tier.

View -> Players

However not all games support this.

 

[Jawmuncher]

It has no Capcom characters Though

 

[CraigerGamer]

Ok. Thanks. I figure it might be Dev-based and not up to Steam to provide the info.

 

[Messiah]

It has no Capcom characters Though

Exactly.

 

[Tizoc]

It has no Capcom characters Though

Hence why it is the superior game~
It also has psuedo dinosaur Vampires too

 

[Hektor]

This is an amazing bundle for people that don't have everything already, which is no one, because steamgaf got taste and played all of them already. Right?

 

[Eila]

They also appear on http://steamcommunity.com/id/(yourid}/friends/coplay/

 

[Jazz573]

I'm missing a few. And since when does SteamGAF actually play games?

 

[yuraya]

Why does Jurassic Park have such mixed reviews on Steam?

Is it bad? or is it just not as good as the other Telltale games?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Exactly.

But I only play MVC for Capcom characters

 

[Adry9]

The BTA keeps going down in the Devolver bundle, $3.68 now, I'll end up biting.

How do you feel about QTEs? Jurassic Park is basically QTE: The Game.

It's bad.

 

[ViviOggi]

In for $1

 

[Knurek]

That's what you get when only 'previously not bundled' game is in the $10 tier and is about fuckingdating pigeons.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

It was their first game where they ditched the game play elements and went for the visual novel angle. So it was a bit rough as they were still trying to figure out what they wanted to do in the genre. Also their adventure fans had quite a backlash at the removal of the game play elements. On top of that, there was the Jurassic Park Jeep fiasco that put a shadow over the launch.
I think its one of their better visual novels.

 

[Annubis]

Guess I'll try The Last Remnant today.

Whatever you do, do NOT grind.

 

[Vazra]

Let them know breh. MBAACC was doing what Mehvel 3 wanted to do years before it was on the making and doing it right. Mehvel vs Crapcom 3 is a mediocre unbalanced piece of trash and many games wish to have the sick flow melty has.

R.I.P in piece Mahvel

 

[ExoSoul]

The games in that bundle.. Regular editions correct?

 

[Hektor]

Looks like the cheap retail for Platinums TMNT is cancelled. Just got an email. Amazon why have thou forsaken me?

Doesn't sound too bad since I don't expect much gameplay from these type of games. I guess I'll just install it and get around to playing it one day after I play TWAU and Walking dead. Never really cared for Back to the future so I'll just leave that one out of the backlog.

 

[Mavromatis]

Offer best games in bundle, nobody buy it because everyone have them already.
Offer bad games in bundle, nobody buy it because nobody want them.
Without the key gifting thing bundles would be dead.

 

[Rhaknar]

shadow warrior is the special edition

 

[Hero Prinny]

dark souls 2 is making me super salty. fuck the spider boss, its a long trip and then the boss fight itself is just super frustrating, then on top of that there are no actual human players to help me out or summon me so I'm stuck with the npcs who are doing jack shit

Spoiler to make that area very very easy...

Spoiler

Light a torch and the spiders won't attack you. Not even during the boss fight.

 

[Ucchedavāda]

Whatever you do, do NOT grind.

Why not? Does it have some sort of auto level-scaling?

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

$10 tier for Titan Souls?

Too rich for my blood

Spoiler

I not so secretly spent the rest of my April budget on Stellaris pre-order.

 

[rtcn63]

Last Remnant is one of those games that you want to look up. The way leveling works and the general mechanics require explanation.

Also it's not as borked as the original console version IIRC, where you could effectively hit a wall and not be able to progress.

took me one, maybe two tries. I barely remember the fight and i did it the first time last week.

Just look at a guide if you haven't already, i give a boss a handful of tries before my pride subsides and my lack of free time makes me look stuff up

Spoiler to make that area very very easy...

Spoiler

yup, but there are so many messages in that area that I assumed that he knew that already.

a prinny being bad at something? im shocked.

laserlaser claimed your Shadow Warrior: Special Esition key. There were 6 entrants.

Thanks again for being generous.

im surprised modbot grabbed the image from steam with the typo in the title

 

[rtcn63]

Some Dark Souls summons will straight murder a boss for you, while others are just there to take the hits.

I do like/dislike how you'll often need to clear out the area in front of a gate or else the NPC summon will get massacred.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

how is dark souls 3 with the NPC summons? I was shocked by how many there were in DS2 compared to the first game

 

[Lain]

Any of you played Dragon Fin Soup and feel like sharing some impressions on it?

That's good to know, thanks for the warning.
