HUMBLE WEEKLY QUICK QUESTIONS
1) What's Defense Grid Gold? I can't seem to find it on Steam. I have DG Awakening in my wishlist (can't even remember why, but hey..) but I dunno. Does this DG Gold in some way includes Awakening?
2) Is SPAZ any good? I don't see it in my library even though I was sure I owned it, so I just want to know if I should add it or give away it!
Thanks guyz
I think Awakening was the base game? Anyway the game has some great expansions, it even had some tie ins with portal. Defense Grid is probably my #1 Steam game under $10.
SPAZ was good enough to hold my interest for 10 hours or so which is definitely above average. I'd probably put it in the same league as Faster Than Light.

Dark Souls difficulty is so overrated.
There is nothing to play on next-gen platforms right now.
Other than 3DS and PC ofc.
Nope.

Just bought Skyrim: Legendary Edition. Feels good.
Cool, thanks for the tip! I've heard lots of good things about Papers Please.
Dark Souls looks interesting too, but that's probably much too difficult for my skill level. Sleeping Dogs looks interesting too though, so many good deals!
Yeah, it's not really that hard, it's just unforgiving and actually requires you to learn how to play the game. It's just easier to say hard than write that out each time.

Yeah, I've heard about Durante's fix, will definitely install it. I've managed to get my Wii U controller working on my PC previously, so I'm assuming it'll work with this... Fingers crossed.

0 Hours in Dark Souls
No SS2
No Don't Starve
No Papers, Please
No XCOM
I would say compared to most games these days Dark Souls is difficult. However, back in the 90s and earlier games were like Dark Souls all the time in terms of difficulty. You had to take your time, learn the enemies' moves and level layout. It seems to be a lost skill amongst a lot of gamers these days which is a shame.

Couldn't agree more.
Perfect, thanks.

No because if it was a daily yesterday it'd still be a daily today since they run for 48 hours. Also it wasn't a daily. Also the 11.99$ is the cheapest it's been on steam so far but wait for dailies/end of sale.
Fuck it, just picked up Dark Souls as well. I really wasnt crazy about demon souls, but I really didnt give it much of a chance. GAF hype got to me.

Don't judge him too quick!
I also have 0 hours in Dark Souls on my Steam account. Maybe he just installed the game from disc and only activated the code just to have it in his Steam library.
Right Madrugador? Right?
You're dead to me of you play Skyrim instead of Dark Souls.
Word. It's nothing but punishing.
I was mistaken.

Does FFVII still have that bad DRM? I heard it had some horrible Uplay DRM and I have never played a Uplay game on PC.
Me too. I'll get bored of Killzone and Resogun within a week, and then the console will be gathering dust until Infamous: Second Son comes out.
One time online activation for the Steam version. No other DRM.
Either way, you are playing two of the best games of all time.
You need to log into a Squeenix account when you load the game for the first time, but that's it.

Honestly I love Steam sales but the DLC fuckery some publishers engage in is sort of disgusting to me. Bethesda does it with Skryim too, I really want dragonborn since it's the only dlc I don't have but it's more expensive than the base game. It's not even like you can buy the goty/complete edition and resell the extras as steam gifts. It's also counter productive for them because they've taught me to simply wait for the pricedrops/goty before purchasing at this point.
There's a mod for that!

Just bought Bioshock Infinite for $6.92 from GMG thanks to the promo code and some wallet balance I had. I fucking love PC gaming <3

See, I don't think it's anything like 90's games, it's way more cleverly designed than that. It's not a throwback at all.
Thanks for the info, I'll give it a try... eventually.
More like I'm postponing playing the two best games... I just don't have enough time or energy to play (and mod) all the games recommended by Gaf.
Even if I only play it single player? Someone else said the AI is terrible
At first, you'll think it's hard because you have no experience. After a couple of games, it gets a lot easier. Even at the five dollar price point, it's kinda hard to justify the purchase as the fourth one has been released and the game is quite old with bad graphics, but the gameplay is great.
You have chosen wisely!
They're not, and even if they were it's not an issue a VPN couldn't fix. The purchasing restrictions are just arbitrary.
I'm not necessarily saying it is a throwback, but certainly there is a lost skill which Demon's and Dark Souls brought to peoples attention. The art of learning enemies and the level design and being punished brutally if you don't. I think gamers from the pre-2000s were more accustomed to this.

Hurray for Papers, please! One of the games I was waiting to pop up. My friend has been banging on at me for a while about outlast, thoughts? Any good? I don't really trust his judgement, he is amazing at playing 5 minutes of a game, declaring it GOTY and never playing it again lol.
Check your PM please.
