So i have 8 days to get ready for Steam Winter Sale. Let's see how much money i can collect in 8 days xD

Also reading those Destiny threads makes me so sad. When they announced that game i was so happy i liked everything they said, i liked their concept art and new universe. I wonder what happened during development of that game? Now i even don't want Destiny on PC no matter what they add. :(

C) System requirements aren't an exact science, so the bar was lowered to give the impression that the game will run decently on a wider range of systems

D.) They were placeholder specs. There was no way the game was ever going to require 16gb of RAM.

Funny you say that now. I just started playing Escape Goat 2 yesterday, and am tempted to make a thread about it.

Such a well-designed game.

As someone who doesn't like Puzzle Platformers very much, would I like it and is the overall difficulty not very high?
 
the sale starts on the same day we get our SE xmas surprises? Sounds fishy

Winter seal starts a few hours earlier than the SE surprise box I think, but yeah, weird :p

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
I just encountered my first pirate/enemy in Salt, which startled me at first because I turned around and he was standing directly behind me, not unlike Creepy Watson. The pickaxe doesn't seem to be very useful for combat, which is a little odd, but a couple of arrows did the trick.

Yes, its pretty easy (but secret stained glass levels on the contrary are hardcore (like SMB hardcore) so its not even fun to play)

I wonder if the Steam Sale thread can exist in the main Gaming forum, it's news, it's got a limited shelf life... a man can dream.

They exist until the January thread I believe? They're pretty much act like OTs to games that are on the main forum for a month before moving to Community.

Right now I am listening to the soundtrack. The music is great. I hope it will be discounted so I can buy the game :D
Still need to play through the first game

Funny thing, the first review is from a DoubleFine employee :D

From where I'm sitting I could throw this banana on my desk at Hack n Slash's creator, Brandon Dillon, with a good chance of hitting him in the head. That's a good idea actually, be right back.

The guy is funny, and at least he disclosed he works for DF, not sure about the ethics of reviewing a game from your own company though.
 
They've signed a contract. Bungie knew well what they got themselves into.

Yeah, but maybe it was Activision or not getting the game done, it was a massive budget game and not many publishers can back that kind of game.

I agree Bungie are not guilt free, but the main culprit is Activision.

Why are you defending Activision anyway? hmmm :\

why Hack 'n' Slash is tagged casual?
Seriously, I have this strange feeling (steam induced), that steam people have no idea what casual actually means (><)
because tagging games like Super Hexagon (for example) casual should be punishable by a ban offence, that's trolling at its lowest.

Cook, Serve, Delicious is also tagged casual >.<

as I said, most of steam people seem to be clueless (><)

But it is a casual game.
Casual doesn't imply easy, have you tried actually beating Zuma or Plantasia? Both are as hard as DMC3 on Dante Must Die. Causal is just simple. And you really can't have a game more simple than Super Hexagon...

you are wrong, casual actually means exactly that, easy, you don't need skills or invest a lot of time, you just pick it and play, no matter your age or experience. For example Skyrim is casual, Tetris is casual (we aren't talking about mastering it, just playing for fun), pacman is casual, while Hack 'n' Slash, Circuits, Super Hexagon, etc. are not.
Simple is no casual, simple is simple.

By now we should know that many games are tagged incorrectly.

Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey is tagged being Violent and a Survival game
Princesses are like Highlanders. There can only be one and the endgame is Saint's Row like with the different princesses and their kingdoms fighting turf wars. It's your job to unite the kingdoms under your rule by murdering the princesses and their lieutenants.

you guys are talking about funny tags, there are a lot of those but they are pretty obvious, while casual tag is really misleading very often. What if I bought one of those "casual" games for a kid or grandma 80+ years old, or someone that never played a game in their life? That's just mean (><)

A princess life is not easy.

future Queen's life is not easy, princesses have it better, unless some Dragon shows up and kidnap them.
