I like that the EVE Online Premium Edition sub includes the Core Starter Pack content and DLC app. Most of the time that isn't the case.

Telltale really doesn't give a fuck :l
Also I really don't understand why indie company translate their games with italian language from release date (excluding some cases) and TT doesn't, even if they sell a LOT.

They can't even be arsed to turn their hardcoded WASD QTE keys into something that supports other keyboard layouts/is editable, so...

I already played TWD season 1 on PS3, but I haven't got season 2 yet. Should I grab both while they're on sale on Steam? Is the PC version in any way better, or should I just wait for S2 to go on sale on PSN?

Fuck yeah, my gamble on a 50% or more discount when the final episode has hit paid off :D
Click to expand...

buying the episodes upfront is never a good deal. I got TWAU for less than 3 keys, and season 2 of the walking dead seems to be going for 3 keys atm.

Gonna hold off as i'm killing it with my backlog lately and it might go for even cheaper around halloween.

Well interview could go either way tbh, now to endure the horrible journey back to Glasgow :/

And by the time I get home I'll need to leave walking dead and dark souls 2 dlc to tomorrow :(

How much is Half Minute Hero 2 now? I have 3 keys now and would like to buy it. Tried on Steamtrades earlier, but the seller made a misake and it was a key for HMH1.

Yeah, I'm not ever buying a Telltale game at launch. I don't like to wait for the episodes and when it's all released it will be dirt cheap anyways!

I finished up Braid today. The puzzles were pretty good, although halfway through I got tired of them and just played it as a platformer, looking up solutions that I couldn't figure out after 5-10 minutes (I know, I am a terrible human being). Music was also nice, and the art was alright, too. The rewind mechanic was really versatile, and I liked all the different implementations of it. I didn't understand the story at all beyond the ending showing that the
princess was trying to escape you
.

Speedrunning the game sucked, I was always off by a minute or two because I'd always fuck up the boss fights or those timing the plants so that the goobas don't die puzzles. Not to mention screwing up all of world 6 and sometimes world 1. I did like 4 runs before I got it under 45.

Overall, I think it's a good game, I guess.

Speedrunning puzzle games always sucks IMO. I've never had fun trying to do it, and I'll never understand why those achievements exist.

The game was great though. I pretty much ignored the vague and overcomplicated narrative. That ending sequence came as a total surprise to me, though. Gave me chills, even.

I still think its fantastic and clever, but it was moreso when it first came out. The whole beautiful art style/great music/unique puzzle mechanic thing has been done quite a bit now, but Braid, while not necessarily a total pioneer in the genre, certainly was the 'Halo' that gave many the inspiration to try something similar.

Hmm didn't see that deal listed til now. Is the game really good? Never heard of it before til now haha.

I'd definitely recommend it. It's short but a lot of fun. Some of the achievements provide a nice side challenge, too. I haven't gone back to it since workshop support came out, but it's possible there is some good user-created content out there. (EDIT: I guess Chariot knows what's up with that :) )

I'm bored, any point and click game I could play?
Click to expand...

You've come to the right place!

The Journey Down Chapter 1 is a solid point and click if you can get past all the embarrassing stereotypes. And it's currently cheap as chips (maybe even cheaper?)

Hmm and that's the only one I've played and can recommend that's currently on sale. Other point and clicks I've recently played and can recommend include Fester Mudd Chapter 1, anything with "Blackwell" in it, Gemini Rue, Cognition, and the Samaritan Paradox.

Edit: Looks like a few people above me have the same ideas. Syberia was pretty good but not my favourite.

Yeah, I don't understand it either. Limbo also had a nasty one where you had to finish the game with less than five deaths, which was made worse by the fact that I didn't even like Limbo much.

I read all the books, but it never formed into a story to me. The ending sequence was the only coherent thing about it besides the "your princess is in another castle" thing.

I admittedly haven't played many of these 2D puzzle platformers, but out of the ones I have, it's probably second only to The Swapper. It at least soundly beats Fez and destroys Limbo.

Shame that Amazon's deal of the day on W_D isn't a Steam Key. Bad decisions, Ubi. You're picking up where Origin/EA left off.

Stallion/Nabs/Turf -- let's knock out that last TR ranked achievement later, please? :)
