Rejoice, we've found the one who'll surpass the anime gifs.
Yup, the impressions so far, makes it sound like a really solid effort from Gearbox.
I aware of the differences between the three games, I did initially call them hero-shooters as that is the primary aspect that they all have in common.
That's unfortunate as the game itself is incredible, I personally didn't experience any issues on my end even on my modest set-up.
I wasn't into PC gaming back when those games were in their strides, so no, didn't had the chance to try them. The idea behind MOBA games quite interest me, though, is just that I don't enjoy the gameplay in those bird's eyes views games, and Battleborn seems to give a twist to that formula (I know it wasn't the first to try that, but because it's also an FPS I'm more keen to give it a shot). With that said, Paragon looks way more interesting than BB, so I might wait for that one to release.

Finished Castle in the Darkness, a NES-style metroidvania platformer filled with references to other games.
The checkpoints can get fairly frustrating in the latter parts of the game.
Sometimes it goes like this: checkpoint -> hard platforming area -> boss fight -> another hard platforming area -> checkpoint. There are spikes that can instantly kill you, so getting a jump wrong can often prove fatal.
Nice game for people who enjoy difficult games. Was a bit too frustrating for my non-existant skill-level at times, but it's definitely worth giving a try. There are a ton of easter eggs and secrets to find, although you may also encounter a couple of glitches.
Why does this remind me of Milons Secret Castle?

Oof. Robo is a mod. Now it sunk to me.
Heh, congrats (again). These are some good vibes.I just got home from work and logged on to GAF...
Holy shit you guys. You actually went ahead and did it... What an incredibly kind gesture from all of you who pitched in!
I'm not gonna lie, a part of me thought your PM was going to end up being another April fools joke... like the ultimate alley-oop prank. I think I've developed trust issues.
But seriously, thank you guys so much. This is the nicest thing a stranger (or group of strangers) has ever done for me. Wow!
You do live after all! Or did I not "see" you because domo-kun got eaten by the bad wolfFinished Castle in the Darkness, a NES-style metroidvania platformer filled with references to other games.

For the bad April fools prank?

Yeah I don't think he intended for it to be so mean though.
He did help make it right.
Hopefully it's not a perma.

Was better off just giving out a mystery gift and saying it is Dark Souls 3 if that was the case.
Oh, that Dark Souls III Deluxe giveaway was bogus? lol. What game did the winner end up with anyway?
But yeah, I remember people doing trolly Modbot giveaways every year at April's fools and getting away with it. Dark Souls is serious business, it seems

My mind cannot grasp how anyone would think that prank would be so side splittingly funny. Do people even think before doing shitty pranks?

I don't think he got anything but a link to an April Fools pic. Some from SteamGAF here helped chip in to pick him up a copy though.

Really need to get this. It's been on my wishlist pretty much since release, but it's the kinda game I expect to be bundled sooner or later, so I keep holding off in hope of getting it cheap.

It'd be hilarious if Endruen ended up winning Uzzy's actual Dark Souls 3 giveaway.
But I think you know about those things better, ha
If that isn't what modbot was created for, why does modbot change the name of game's giveaway on April fools day?
Let's not kid ourselves here, the prank was mean but the ban wasn't deserved.

i honest to god thought it was hilarous, i was on my sides. in fact i found it so funny i went to go tell my brother about it, in fact just thinking about it is making me laugh a bit. Guess I'm an asshole too tho.
what made it so funny was that it was the deluxe version tho. for what its worth i do think it was a really douchey thing to do, if I would have done it i would have done the troll giveaway, let it sit for a bit so i can enjoy the laughs and then give the game for reals.If I made it the joke would be that it was only the regular edition.

I would have called it Souls Dark 3 and gifted 3 copies of Dark.
Didnt he post it before April 1st? I know it ended on the first technically but it was still a shitty way to do it, I thought it was legit because of that.
Didn't notice Endruen chipped in to make it right
What a twist!
Modbotting games on the 1st as a joke is one thing, but his raffle was created on the 31st. And to create a fake raffle for such a high profile game is kinda shady imo. Whatever though, he chipped in to make it right so good on him.

People obviously have their own opinion whether it was a funny prank or in bad taste but what's for sure is that he got us all with it. That's a feat to achieve on April Fools Day. Glad he was a good sport and chipped in the real gift and got unbanned.

About that, frosty hasn't gotten the RotTR from shadownet yet, and probably never will, at least the guy who won the Endruan giveaway got the game.

Context is important. Your examples are usually very obvious and not huge by any stretch.

I have a feeling he would have followed through if he wasn't already permabanned. Still pretty shitty though but shadownet is hardly a decent person in my opinion.

that's no excuse, there's steam friend list and steam chat, it's not like he got no way to communicate with frosty.
Please let May Humble be a good one

Guess who's back!
I'm a bit scared that JaseC remembers I'm spanish
Thank you for unbanning me. Souls is a serious bussiness.Didn't notice Endruen chipped in to make it right
I think you are the most upsetted one. He found it funny and he got the game, no harm done.
As I said, I'm not entering that giveaway as a penitence.It'd be hilarious if Endruen ended up winning Uzzy's actual Dark Souls 3 giveaway.
But I think you know about those things better, ha
Yeah, it was before, but not too much, like 11pm iirc. The thing is that I wanted it to end on April 1st. I thought it would have been worse otherwise.
I'm a bit scared that JaseC remembers I'm spanish
Literally paying money to revert a ban..........Didn't notice Endruen chipped in to make it right
Well, he could have reached out to the winners via an intermediary if he didn't delete all GAFers from his friends list after being banned. That doesn't exactly paint a nice picture.

Didn't he do a friendlist purge after he was permed? Seems like he wanted to leave GAF behind and he couldn't care less about those old promises
Chinese users actually saw large growth as a percentage of the total Steam user base this year. Will have to dig up specific numbers from the Steam Spy Twitter.

I think he simply did all those giveaways for posturing. Once he got banned there was little reason to go on with the fake act.
Just goes to show that anyone who acts all nicey nicey here is probably a fake.

who knows? he purged his friend list multiple times while he was on gaf. But at least he should have been forthcoming and told the people he owed clearly he had no intention of keeping the promise, because some people skipped preorder deals on nuveem and the likes waiting for the promised copy and then had to hunt for a good deal when it was harder to find a good price.
I remember when Rhaknar gave away like 50,000 games, now its a ghost town. He's a pretty cool guy.
