Doesn't that annoy you, given you are first and foremost 'horror aficionado' and/or 'game developer'?

Could be worse.

Eurogamer quoted one of my posts on GAF and then outed my real name right afterwards without contacting me.

If you want Wuppo for cheap, the Trashdump bot currently has 2 75% and 1 90% coupon in its inventory (snagged a 90% coupon myself).

Trashdump bot? How does it work?

Make a trade offer and it automatically accepts it. Don't take more than 10 items in a single day and try to give it something every once in a while

maybe a newby question, but how exactly do you take something ? :/ I thought you could only donate stuff, not take

edit: my apologies, just saw this answered the post above me

Anyway! If you like shoddy Wizardry ripoffs that overpromise on everything but more or less deliver some dungeons and places to explore and items to puzzle over, and you don't mind giving your money to an insane white supremacist, then you should buy Grimoire Heralds of the Winged Exemplar. I can't say you should buy it if you like Wizardry, because those games are too good to really serve as a measuring stick. This is a game for people who have exausted every CRPG series already, for people who struggled through every other game there is. This is a game for people who think insect noises that repeat every half a second, layered for every insect in a six-enemy stack so that they make you want to kill yourself, and which you can't turn off without also turning off the music because apparently coding SFX and BGM meters separately is too hard even for a Neanderthal Supergenius, are good and cool. This is a game for people who like Eye of the Beholder -- not the real one, the GBA one -- or I guess for people who really really hate Aboriginal people. If you fit both those descriptions, buy Grimoire immediately. You will never find another game as perfect for you as this one. Hell, maybe someday Cleve will add custom portraits and you can make everyone look like Pepe or something and then you'll never need to play another game as long as you live! Mazel tov!

Yeah, but what's really funny is...

The player is enjoying it, and to be fair it looks a bit enjoyable, even despite having some jank and some unintentionally hilarious dialogue (like villains being named "rude chaps.")
Not sure if it's 40 bucks of enjoyable though.

This. I've watched it on Twitch and, even though the game might need some balancing and a few tweaks (not to mention a truckload of bug fixes), it looks pretty good for what it is.

Wow, didn't know that crafted coupons could go as high as 90%! Do we know how the maximum coupon percentage per game is calculated? Do developers/publishers have any say?

90% is maximum for coupons. Publishers select if/what coupons are droped. (Unlike discounts, there's no 50 cent min price)

For anyone who has been interested in We Happy Few but hasn't bought it because it's in Early Access, price is about to go up:

Since we launched our Kickstarter and released the game on Early Access, We Happy Few has been priced at US$29.99. We have never put it on sale because we believe it isn’t fair for someone to get the game at a lower price than a Kickstarter backer or an Early Access backer while the game is still in development. Since 2015, we have made clear that the price would increase as we approach the final release, and that time has - finally - come. On August 16, the price for the game will become US$50.99.

Did they even add a SP like everyone thought during that one E3.

There's tons of tips from players better than me available, but position and terrain knowledge is pretty much the most important factor in the final 2 circles. This is slightly less true in dedicated 1st person matches though, but in 3rd person it really often is whoever has the best position wins.

For truly open areas there's not a ton you can do aside from waiting as long as possible for everyone to pin each other down. Usually, if you don't know where anyone is, you want to wait in the best cover near the edge of the blue zone and only move in when you have to and have a better idea of where your threats are and where would be best to stop next.

ARs can beat Snipers as long as you don't let them land the first shot on you. Easier said than done of course Just playing a bunch and guessing how people will react to a certain situation is good too. My first win was because enemy and I were both in tiny circle behind vehicles next to other small cover, his was only a dacia though and mine was a UAZ so I knew when his Dacia started to smoke he'd need to make a break or risk dying to random explosion.

Recoil control and aim are super important for last 10 too, if you want warmup/practice, drop at the hotzones like School or Military and just go nuts. You die often and fast but you get some decent practice.

Guess i'll keep at it. Have been doing good.But those final moments always get me. Thanks for the tips.

I meant like a SP campaign. When they showed it off at the MS conference the beginning of the game made it seem like it had a full-fledged story campaign. But then ias you said everyone found out it was just a survival game.

Planetarian and Umineko are one of my favorites. Saya no Uta is great too, but it isn't on Steam because of some H scenes. Keep in mind Umineko is very long (15h per chapter and it has 8) and only 4 chapters are available right now, but goddamn it has one of the beest stories ever.

Remember to replace the question marks with the corresponding letter/number

Yep, it's just all the ones I tried resulted already taken, which means I reached enough tries for Steam and can't try anymore for a while. Might just buy the game for 3€.

About We Happy Few, I copy/pasted the thing about the price increase because that seemed like the more important part to let any prospective buyer to know about, since 30€ is better than 50€. They had more to share though:

Hey everyone,
We are finally (already?!) in August! As previously announced, we will be releasing our last public update for We Happy Few before its final release. The Life in Technicolour update will drop on August 16th! The update features new Joy effects as well as a brand new UI (still WIP), AI rework and much more. Look forward to the update video on the 16th!

But today, we wanted to give you a heads-up on some important information...

Since we launched our Kickstarter and released the game on Early Access, We Happy Few has been priced at US$29.99. We have never put it on sale because we believe it isn't fair for someone to get the game at a lower price than a Kickstarter backer or an Early Access backer while the game is still in development. Since 2015, we have made clear that the price would increase as we approach the final release, and that time has - finally - come. On August 16, the price for the game will become US$50.99.

We will explain everything in more detail on the 16th. As you can imagine, there is more to the story, and we are looking forward to sharing all the juicy details with you. We always do our best to be transparent with you guys, so we felt it was important to provide this pricing information with ample time for you to make a decision. And, just to be clear, if you are a Kickstarter backer or Early Access player, this change does not affect you.

It is the final update before release, so the game is (close) to release.

yes.
Just play on a low difficulty.

 

[QFNS]

Is Pillars of Eternity a good choice to somebody who is a noob of the genre?

I really like Pillars of Eternity, but I might recommend Divinity: Original Sin a bit more. The combat is turn based instead of Real Time with Pause in D:OS and that can make it more of a relaxed experience for those who don't have a lot of nostalgia for the genre (aka love Baldur's Gate II and the infinity engine games).

Also the writing is more light-hearted in D:OS vs more self-serious in Pillars. That part along will probably tell you which of the two you'd prefer to play. Both are great games, but I think D:OS is AMAZING, while Pillars should iron out all the weak spots with the sequel (upcoming!).

Also D:OS2 is coming out soon. It's a good year to play CRPGs as the sequels to them are coming out soon.

Avast firmly follows a god code for it's virus library, so that's no surprise.

Keeping in my mind, most of my complaints about Steins;Gate game mostly revolve around stereotypical anime tropes.

Other than Fata Morgana, which everyone with good sense of mind will recommend, you should also try Nonary Games, Analogue, Long Live the Queen and Cupid.

 

[Ladekabel]

Humble Monthly was worth it for PoE alone. The other stuff is nice but not really interested in it.

Don't really want Killing Floor 2 but I know that because I'm likely skipping it it will have the most awesome smaller stuff.

 

[ThingontheFloor]

I just finished my first Visual Novel.

I'll also throw my vote in for the House in Fata Morgana, especially if you're tired of anime tropes. It has less levity than S;G, it's a very dark story but worth going through the up and downs. Stein;Gate was the first VN I played so it holds a special place for me, I love the sci fi hooks in it. Stein;Gate 0 isn't on Steam unfortunately but you can get the Japanese PC version and download an English patch or play on PS4/Vita if you own either.

I would also recommend the Danganronpa series or The Nonary Games (999 and Virtue's Last Reward) if looking for more interaction in between reading sections as Fata Morgana is very text heavy, although I think the unique art and music makes up for the time spent.

Oooo, there is a Steins;Gate sequel? Was totally unaware, hope it comes to Steam soon. Despite some of the annoying tropes of Steins;Gate, I really loved it. All the other elements rose above to a great degree for me.
