Thanks for the impressions! New to the genre, it helps to know which ones in the bundle to avoid.

I am special and so I got a special Windows 8 version which doesn't let me upgrade to Win10 :S

Enterprise version like I was using?

Embedded Industry Pro. Did all updates and manual guides but I didn't get a "upgrade to win10" thing. Not a biggie, for now.
Anyways, I'm off to bed so sorry when I can't answer.

Oh my, I'll mention this now, Binary Domain has multiple endings and the character relationship system changes some cutscenes and some bigger things later in end-game, without saying too much. I mention this because that scene means you have a higher relationship with Faye right now, and to let you know some scenes will play out very differently depending on your relationship with the characters.

I'll pick up Binary Domain once it's back down to around $5 again somewhere

It goes on sale for $3.74 fairly often, like a few times a year.

Well I've now done impressions for all the games in the bundle. Some I did way back when, but most were done recently. So you can look in my posting history for 'em.

Personally, I'd say you should think about posting your impressions as Steam reviews, their insightful.

Is there a character limit for Steam reviews though?

Wow that ending is as subtle as being hit by a speeding bus. It's the polar opposite of Dead Esther where zero mystery is left intact and everything is handed to you. You know, sometimes less is more devs.
But I suppose it's worth it just for its Dali inspired stages. A pretty game to look at.

There is a character limit, but I usually don't run into it.
Here's a review I did that I know hit the character limit, does this look like enough to paste them for use: http://steamcommunity.com/id/AestheticGamer/recommended/222480
Think the character limit is around 8,000.

Dear Esther is one of the worst "games" I've ever played.
I'm not sure if another walking simulator could do worse...

Well this one has real puzzles in it so its a game. Just kinda wish it wasn't at times. Especially with the boss fight at the end
corrosivefrost
Member
Boss fight? Oh, that doesn't sound like it would fit... but I suppose I'll find out someday... when it has been chosen from my backlog.
someguyinahat
Member
From what I remember, the developers went that route because they wanted the whole thing to actually be a parody of pretentious arty games. That's why the final boss' words basically yank the teeth out of your head and subvert the rest of the game.

duno if one of the worst but def a game that didn't mean anything to me despite how certain it seemed to be that it was like super duper compelling with its fancy art and music
but it didn't say anything to me and like i love something like gone home so it's not that i can't relate to walking simulators, it's just that this particular one felt overly dramatic and flowery for not much at all

I haven't played Dear Esther, but don't get me started on To the Moon. I can't imagine Dear Esther being worse than that.

Is there any other zombie/survival with local co-op games besides How to Survive?
I've only found online/mmo survival ones so far. I hate multiplayer survival, lots of trolls.

Surprised Win 10 is working so well, games that were borked somewhat in Win 8.1 now seem to work better (Nox via GOG Galaxy), and some I'm surprised work at all (C&C via Origin). Every game I've tried has worked well without issue.
Hoping DMC4SE and The New Order work and continue the trend. Only issues I've had thus far at all with the OS is it asks me every time I restart what Firewall I want to turn on, and having to manually delete and reinstall GeForce Experience.

Yennifer wants me to do her a solid for free to go help her get a Djnn, iight cool, its a side character and those tend to be the important side quest so lets go. She has a boat set up and shit so we walk to the boat and she's being all cocky like "yea i had it all set up, i knew you'd come" at this point im like this woman is way too cocky, "thats why i triss is better than you" is what i think, We're at the boat and she tells me to get in, I get in the boat, but the boat doesn't move... a few seconds later.. "Garelt are you going to get in the boat?" bitch, I'm in the boat, you're the one not moving it. So I jump in and out sitting on the other side of the boat hoping for it to start, now she says something the along the lines of I'm wasting her time, finally the quest activates. Just for being annoying I'm going to kill that Djnn or do whatever is in my power to not give it to her, not only cause she likes the kiss that king's ass who I dont like, but most importantly I'm going to do it out of spite cause she wouldn't move the damn boat and blamed me for it.
I'm spiteful to even fictional characters, I get it from my mom's side.

The only ones I've run into so far that have spat the dummy at Win10 are ESO and Ancient Space. ESO crashes every few seconds but others outside of Win10 seem to have that problem. Ancient Space is also very touchy, will only run windowed and doesn't like any Alt-tabbing but again it is notoriously crashy anyway.

I had a peek at the Witcher 3 SteamDB history page. Looks like there was some activity about 20 hours ago. Can someone who understands this stuff better than me have a look at it and tell me if it indicates the new patch data is being prepared? Desperate for it to release so I can finally get on with the game.

Oh god, you're a horrible monster. There's a reason she's so eager to find a djinn, she never asked for this.

I wonder which will finish first, Kentucky Route 0 or the Dream Machine. The latter's first episode came out in 2011! Apparently all of the episodes aside from the 1st and 4th are huge though. Going to start that game up again, first chapter was great but I got distracted by other things. Think they said the 5th chapter that released in December 2014 is the size of the first four combined.

Yes.
Yes it is.
To the Moon had a story and good music.
Dear Esther has a few pretty pieces of landscaping and some ridiculously slow walking.
Everyone *should* be.

Free for owners of Letter Quest, great!
I remember playing one of the PS2 ones a really long time ago but IDK which one it was.
It's one of those series I want to go back to and play since I enjoy combat flight sims but prefer the modern setting.
I've only played Ace Combat Zero, and I was really struck by the music, narrative framework, and how awesome the Su-37 is. It's also one of the few games that succeeds at making you feel important. I mean, lots of games have you being the chosen one or whatever, but most handle it like "oh we're too stupid to live please save us." In Zero, you build up a reputation through the game to the point that enemy pilots are singling you out and in the final mission
everyone else's mission is to fly into incoming fire to protect you

Man I loved the Ace Combat series. Man, I should really look into getting AC5: The Unsung War...I've always wanted to buy it but never bit the bullet on it.

Witcher 2 is an average game, slightly above average at its best imo. W3 is on a league of its own tho, 100 times better than W2 in every single way imo.
