Just finished the Mankind Divided base game. Found it to be on par/a little better than Human Revolution for the most part. My biggest complaint was not being able to put a silencer on the sniper rifle.

Damn Not a Hero really does get a serious difficulty spike. I'm on mission 18 and the one hit kill ninjas are annoying as hell. 3 more levels after this, hope I can make it to the end, nevermind the side objectives.

Also there's something weird with my Steam client: it constantly has to 'update' on startup. When I close the client I now get a pop up box I can't even read before the client closes, wonder what it says.

I looked online and supposedly it's because Steam didn't fully close or something, but I can't see anything in task manager. Maybe I should do a re-install.

So uh, is yooka laylee good? Haven't heard much buzz whether the game is good or not.

Jim Sterling, the man who knows more about gaming than all those that have an axe to grind, did not like it.

I did my deed and started shitposting the steam forums over it

Momodora on sale.. Should I get it or wait for it? Need something short to pass time until P5 and it looks good, and iirc Durante singed praises for it.

This is what it says:

"Humble Bundle - Games from Humble Indie Bundle 1-17
The Internet
Redemption deadline is April 18th, 2017 @ 11:59 PM Pacific. Copies estimated to ship by April 30th. Redeem via your Download Page."

I haven't bought it, but I'd be really surprised if they were pretending to sell you games.
Keep reading, don't stop there:

"With this dear-to-our-hearts collection of printed Wikipedia articles, you'll dive into Humble Bundle's humble beginnings. Then, bundle up for some cool facts about all the Humble Indie Bundles from 1 to 17.

Catalogs and chronicles the humble bundling beginnings of the humblest bundling bundlers this side of the not-so-humble infobahn."

Want some cool facts for 35$? No one's pretending to sell you any games.

Just completed Ringed City (well, I still miss the secret boss, didn't find him yet) but I think I'm rather disappointed with it.
First, the dlc is not so long as people say. of course is longer compared to the first dlc, and it's less boring, but there's the very first part of it which is rather uninspired (you can simply run from the first bonfire to the second one skipping all enemies, and considering there are neverending spawning enemies, when you realize that, running is really the best option to not waste your time).
The second part is a big poisonous swamp filled with enemies you can't kill normally, they can one-shot you and curse you. Here you need to find a way to take care of them, dodging death rays in the middle.
The last area is less linear, with some shortcuts etc.
Bosses are rather disappointing, really nothing new in the series.
EDIT: Tried the secret boss too. Well, considering his health, the damage you do (very poor) and the awful camera, defeating him is a very hard task. I mean, you know about Souls games and big enemies, the camera goes to hell and you pass the fight fighting with it.

I think, in the end, those dlcs are not worth 30€. They are not bad, but not even good. DS2 DLCs were much better.

It was Durante's GOTY last year, and my number 2.

It's excellent. Go for it.

It doesn't seem like a lot of people have caught on to Humble's April 1st prank? It's a lot like the Freedom bundle in terms of value. Someone should probably a make a thread about it, since 668 bundles sold seems kinda low.

Chapter: To be continued...

I'd wager the To be continued implies more will be added later.

Even if it's not a joke with books: $35 for a bunch of indies that have a smattering of things I already own is too rich for my blood.

Humble has been disappointing outside of their No Starch Press bundles for the past year or two. :/

Yeah, it's a pretty damn good Deus Ex game. It's so pretty as well, I'd replay it later this year. Not sure why people found it lacking especially when compared to HR.
 
Huh, just noticed that Thea: The Awakening (that glorious 4X I keep talking about every few months) had a sequel announced:

Thea 2: The Shattering

Expand – play as a lonesome nomad – a hero without a home seeking only adventure- or set up multiple camps and multiple villages to claim your own fiefdom. Fight or befriend opposing factions to keep your people safe

Wait...is this a turn-based Mount & Blade?

Thanks for the push, gonna try it tonight.

Huh. Didn't realize Metroidvania was an actual Steam tag.



Just checked out Salt and Sanctuary and it's looking so damn good. But, is it?

Yeah, don't hesitate on this one.

Game is an amazing 2D take on Dark Souls.

Comparing every difficult game on the planet to Dark Souls is so 2015, but this is a rare case that TOTALLY earns it in both form and function.

Thinking of plaything the the Mass Effect games again, never played the DLC for 2 and only played the multiplayer of 3.

Renegade or Paragon?
I'd choose neutral usually but yknow bioware and there shitty morality systems means it just fucks you over more.
 
Guys do you know if i change the scale of app/text/other elements that i find in the monitor setting by right-clicking on the desktop will mess up with resolution in games?

Are you asking about the price? The discount attached to a bundle applies to the total cost to the user. In this case, the total cost of the bundle is 6.56 Eurobucks and the discount is 93%. 6.56 - 93% = 0.46.

I was not asking about the bundle discount, but the discount itself. 99% discount, what is this? Magic?

The discount attached to the bundle is 93%, but that's crossed out and replaced with 99% in the "Add to cart" section as the full price of the bundle is €30.96 and you're paying €0.46. €30.96 - 98.5% (which is rounded up to 99%) = €0.46.

Thanks. However, you are being too rational here! I agree the computations have to be correct, but who in their right mind would discount so "generously" their games? It is almost like freebies at this point!

They stood to gain more from card sales than actual sale would be my guess.

Haha, well, if sales have stalled, then there's not much harm in virtually giving them away for free, especially as an influx of game sales also means an influx of card sales.

Seeing as Uzzy seems to have intended their thread to be the steam thread for the month, and there were serious posts there with some ModBot giveaways, etc., I've just merged the threads and everything should show up by time posted. Probably the recommendations should be edited into the OP, but I think Uzzy mentioned that they planned to do that today anyway. It is also possible that moving the more recent thread into this one broke ModBot, but I don't know how it works. I'll ask stump when he's around.

The second OP now shows up here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=233176395&postcount=185
