Can't wait to play this for "free" (It'll almost assuredly hit either a humble or PS+)

Yeah Doublefine have really devalued themselves as a publisher and developer when all there games basically end up been acouple bucks or part of some sale or bundle. This happens with alot of games but DF games are cheap way quicker than most. Literally 0 reason to buy any of their games any more than $5.
 
Guess whose birthday it is?!

That's right. It's Milamber's.

And also some other guy's. So enjoy some games from genres that I'm known for!

Wish I could have amazing dozens-of-games giveaways but alas, you'll just have to settle for a handful of cheap, but GOOD, ones. Please play 'em if you get 'em. :)

Thanks.

And I have no idea - it's been a while for sure. But I remember thinking one year about what I was gonna give away, and then Milamber gave away like 28 games. Since I couldn't top that, I gave away one sub-dollar game with the name "Hat" in the title. It was oddly freeing.

Eo changed some stuff from the arcade ver right?
As is dreamcast is the best ver of the game

IIRC they simply added the GC ISM which makes they specials with the C-Stick but you get the AC ISM which is the traditional controllers. There is some balance changes but overall its fine. The problem was playing it with the GC controller IMO. Xbox Version has long loading times but it had online at the time.

EDIT: Found a list of changes here

I am aware of some of those changes, however since they are drastic changes from the OG Arcade ver., which the Dreamcast ver. is based on, it isn't one I'd personally recommend.
I mean heck, SF Zero 2 Alpha isn't the popular updated ver. you might think; OG Street Fighter Zero 2 is the usual go to game.

I kinda feel like getting back into FIFA again. It's been years since I last played it. I want to get a month of Origin Access to play FIFA 17, but I was wondering how (in)active the player base is there? Anyone have an idea? I googled for player count sites like this (BF4), but there doesn't seem to be one for FIFA.

edit: fuck it, bought a month (€4)

The last FIFA I bought on PC was well populated all year in Ultimate Team. 17 should be similar.

Looks like it could be good. Reminds me of Cave Story a bit. Never heard of it before though.

I support games with dogs.

WTF that's really stupid
Really hope that's just a Codemasters thing since I used them to gift TitS to US friends before :/
i'm guessing it won't end with codemasters

Humble have been doing this for ages.
well it's new for me, and there's no way of telling until you buy it

why would i even get a region locked key for this, this has a set price that's the same everywhere in the world

it's so fucking bullshit

Everything is very interesting. It's from the same developer of Mountain, another game that I enjoyed and shared some of my thoughts about it before. It's not the kind of game many will enjoy, but if you're into more experimental games it's worth checking.

The game idea is pretty simple, you bound with the currently thing you're and oce it's done you may move to a bigger or smaller thing and see the world and another point of view while listening to thoughts of other beings/objects/etc. During the exploration you may find audios from a philosopher(?), the audios fits in the theme of the game so I won't enter into details.

As Mountain where you could leave it spinning alone on your desktop, Everything has an auto play mode where you'll start automatically exploring the world and it's useful for a certain thing you nees to do.

My last FIFA was 13, and I'm now playing a bit of 17, and man, am I crazy for thinking it feels less responsive? On the other hand, I always need some adjusting to FIFA games. I'll probably get used after a few hours.

Iosefe and I are playing some Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed if anyone wants to join us. My profile if I'm not already on your friend's list. http://steamcommunity.com/id/kenofthedead/

Also I'm streaming it, because I need to figure out how to do Twitch. https://tiltify.com/events/kenod-s-ducks-friendly-with-alienware-4-st-jude

Edit: Sorry about that ThingontheFloor, OBS and Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed don't like each other on my computer I guess. Game crashed, video card got an error, then my router reset. So no more of that I guess.

No worries, thanks for the few races we got in! Feel free to send an invite anytime.
 
As someone whose first system was the original b/w gameboy playing Breath of the Wild on the Switch is so crazy. Also this game is incredible.

Is there going to be an updated gpd soon or is there any hint of such?

I really don't get these smallish games like Syberia and 2Dark going for Denuvo. You guys are having enough trouble to get ANYONE to play your game in the first place.

Dunno if it has been mentioned but latest Syberia updated removed Denuvo.
Always good to see. I wanted to buy Arkham Knight while it was on sale, however, when I went to the forums I discovered it has Denuvo DRM. Surely that should be displayed on the product page... Not even Enhanced Steam shows it.

alright so if i understand it correctly, then it's both codemasters' fault for being dicks for no real reason since why the hell would you do this, and humble's fault for not letting us know beforehand and still charging us full price for second rate keys

so lame
 

JaseC

gave away the keys to the kingdom.

On the bright side, it's just an activation restriction.

The keys wouldn't be entirely useless to people outside of the listed countries as they'd be able to play game as usual after using a VPN to activate it. There's no runtime-level restriction or limited language selection.

oxenfree dialogue is great but i feel like i always end up interrupting things at the wrong time?

like not always because i interjected by clicking on one of the dialogue choices but just moving ahead without knowing it'd break a dialogue sequence or whatever

kind of wish the game was better at that

loving going to war with that clarissa bitch tho lol

yeah but i really dislike that they've sold me "partially useless" keys without telling me. kind of makes me want to ask for a refund on that basis alone but i already gave them away so whatever

It's by design, I feel. The bonus interviews state that they wanted to emulate the feeling of a conversation as close as possible, and real dialogues can indeed be interrupted by somebody suddenly blurting out or something else happening.

If there's something a person really want to say, they'll usually continue it with variations of "anyway, what was I saying?" after the tangent is over.

Spotlights were highly downgraded, tone of skies were changed to more lighter, and i told already about static clouds instead of animated. As i said, it's just rare issues that noticeable only to people who remembered original, overall they did a good work in making this game more accessible for modern public.

That's my biggest issue with the remaster - I think most of the color shifts have been for the worse. A lot of messing of the highlights and shadows which often mean a visual scene that has less of an impact. I feel the person reworking the scenes didn't really understand some of the original color choices and kinda winged it. Some of the framing and composition is also weakened by enlarging the image from 4:3 to 16:9
