A wild DRM-free waifu RPG appears

Of course I know. There are games that will never have GFWL removal, for various reasons. Like Quantum of Solace. Or Section 8. Or AFL Live.

I found a physical copy of Wolfenstein 2009 for ~$10 at a gamestop this weekend but that damn game doesn't redeem on steam. Twas nothing but a tease.

Oh, wow. Ensign-1 looks really interesting. Graphically not really high-def but there's a lot to do. Space fights, fps sections when boarding other spacecrafts.
Here's the gameplay trailer.
You'd think so, but something like Fable 3 that was available in Steam before was pulled and hasn't seen a db update in 7 months or so. Maybe Lionhead will get to it at some point since they too have Steamworks games under their belt now.
Well if you put that way.
does Doorways do a good job being scary? (if its anything like Amnesia, i'm in)
does Frayed Knights do a good job being funny? (if its as funny as Holy Avatar, i'd pass)
i only played Doctor Who, which is only sufferable if you're fan of the series. its like playing episodes, which is good, but the gameplay itself is meh

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I know how you feel. I picked up a physical copy on the cheap a few months back, although I knew it wouldn't activate. It just stays on the shelf, shrink wrapped. I keep thinking to myself "I should really just go ahead and install the damn game" until I come to the slow realization that I haven't had an optical drive in my PC in over 5 years.
It's confirmed, I have a problem.

Actually I am not sure. I only want this because it has VR support
Seems playing it in VR feels good.
The two Doctor Who games on Steam are polar opposites, one gets bundled constantly and the other never even goes on sale.

I played it on the PS3 back in the day so it's easier to walk away from it, but you should've give it a shot. It sits right beside Singularity as a really good mid-tier Raven shooter that doesn't get enough love.
Strider and Murdered Soul Suspect are 6$ each on GMG
http://www.greenmangaming.com/blue-monday-vip/
Should i buy Murdered? Is that game worth 6$?

I've thought the same thing about Wolfenstein in the past.

Did anyone post yet about the Twitter shitstorm going on currently by the "I Get This Call Every Day" dev?
I'll preface this by saying I don't want to turn this into a GamerGate thread, so here goes:
Basically, he promised to give Steam keys to people who bought the game through his site or through Humble, etc. Now he is saying he will be making sure that nobody that supports GamerGate gets a Steam key.
It's yet another case of "devs really shouldn't open their mouth on Twitter".
I'm working on an updated version for the Standalone launcher application, that will do a lot of things in the background like check to make sure your Steam IP addresses are up-to-date in the rinetd.conf file, and other things like automatically update the standalone code when there's a new version available. That will give me a better base to work from going forward, so that's the next step. Once that's done I'll be working on modernizing the code to work with the new Steam store layout.

I went direct to the site, but it does work now, so all good!

What's the current discount code on GMG?

IIRC you cant use the codes on VIP titles. But you can use your Payfire credit.
Since Ensgin-1 is EA game we'll might see if there's any truth to this:
So Gatling Gears was removed like that?
EA as in Early Access, not Electronic Arts. This is related to Early Access rules that Valve posted a few weeks back.

I'm hoping for Space Marine but it's gonna be some more Total War DLC or some shit like that.
also, im going to be that guy who passes on Murdered SS because i don't wanna pay more than the inevitable $5
Finished The Walking Dead season 2, which was a lot worse than the first one. Took me around 8 hours. I didn't much care about the characters and found myself being forced to choose and/or make decisions about stuff I didn't care about at all. Seemed like towards the end I mostly went with the [....] option because the others didn't appeal to me. It wasn't all bad though; game had some good segments and it looks good. Still incredibly underwhelming.

I'm hoping that Strider is worth the $6 because I just bought it. What people around here thought about it?

Dammit GMG, just when I'm about to buy something.
Good "metroidvania" with a lot of bosses and stuff to be collected (the last part is optional)

I had more fun playing Batman Blackgate, and i considered that game to not even be close to perfect. And i got it for "free" through PS+, so i didn't even pay for it.
So do with that what you will.

I was thinking the same thing, but then I started thinking that they might not go that route either since so many people who already bought the bundle and are locked in at a cheap BTA would be getting "something good" for next to nothing. I think for me to get the next tier I just need to up my purchase amount by $2.30. I might do it regardless, but currently I already have the games in the middle tier.
They really shouldn't put DLC in a bundle like that unless the bundle also includes the base game.

Wrapped up the campaign + the 3 dlc released so far. Scattered thoughts:
- DX11 support finally! No missing options! It looks phenomenal at 4K (DSR).
- The art direction is a mixed bag. First half of the levels are boring. The Lantern planets look great though.
- The story was a bit disappointing. The plot was sort of bland and I didn't feel excited till the final level.
- The writing wasn't as funny or sharp as LB2. I wasn't laughing anywhere near as much.
- A couple lines were perfect though, both in delivery and timing.
- Similar to the art direction, the level design was pretty bland in the first half and then picked up on the Lantern planets. It felt more formulaic than usual.
- The Resogun "rip-off" segments were pretty entertaining and amusing. Additional joy was felt due to that salty thread made about them.
- Increased focus on the Flash was great. He was superbly animated and a joy to play as.
DLC thoughts so far:
- Overall: pretty disappointing all around.
- The Dark Knight level is boring and uncreative.
- The Batman 75th Anniversary level consists of some puzzles in a single room. Again, boring.
- The Man of Steel level picked possibly the least interesting segment of the film to recreate. Disappointing.
- Despite this I'm still pretty hyped for the Arrow level to come out.
Since Ensgin-1 is EA game we'll might see if there's any truth to this:
Steam really should get back into doing bundles regularly, it seems silly that they are all relegated to third party sites via keys now. Maybe this change is similar to the trading change, Valve is seeing customer service issues with a bad effort to reward ratio and trying to cut some things out. Wouldn't surprise me if they started restricting early access games from being able to generate keys at all.
I dont get this. Anyone care to explain?
The new early access rules for devs is that they can't do substantial discounts in places off steam if they aren't doing them on steam as well. Presumably this would include things like being in a bundle.
