This is the final stop, after that Edmund is giving the development over to the community. This is the final polish, if you would.
I am still byuing it even though I suck at it and haven't 100%.
Though at least I got most or all of the characters.
Should I even buy it?
It's making the best twin stick shooter as good as it can be, of course you should.
Hopefully they'll be better with the weird ass ARG stuff this time.
eagerly awaiting winter seal... have no rts games really

It's a good one! I really enjoyed the one campaign I played. It'll probably be a big game of 2017 for me since not a ton is on my radar as of yet.

Even Activision is jealous of that milking strategy.

Make sure to get Age of Empires series and its successor games.
I want to get TW Warhammer mainly for the Orks'.
Speaking of Warhammer, I've gotten an interest in W40K Books and have started collecting them.
I should finish up my Space Marine playthrough soon someday :v
Edmund has to make sure Northernlion can put food on his table.

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.
Enhanced Steam has been updated to version 9.1. This release includes the following new features and bug fixes:
- Added DRM detection for games utilizing Denuvo Antitamper DRM
- Added home page customization with the ability to hide particular sections
- Added an option as to whether you would like your wallet balance show in the header of community pages
- Updated the quick sell and instant sell buttons to use the new inventory data layout Valve created
- Updated external site icons with higher resolution versions
- Fixed a bug that caused some "season packs" to incorrectly show a split calculation
- Fixed a bug where metacritic user scores weren't displaying correctly with the new layout
I really wish I could get into Isaac. On paper, I should love it. It has a ton of elements I like in games The aesthetic and theme just kill the whole thing for me, though. It's just a downer experience :x
You can try Enter the Gungeon, it has similar-ish gameplay but a totally different aesthetic.

With Gmail, you can only sell 100 trading cards every few hours, because the rest of the confirmation mails are blocked.
I have just downloaded version 9.1 for Firefox. The extension has improved quite a bit since the last time I tried it, I really like the page for the settings. I originally uninstalled it on Firefox at that time when the Firefox version was lagging behind the Chrome version, and also because it used to make the Market page lag for me. Now, all of this is a ton more responsive.
However, I don't see any quick sell option for the inventory. :'(

Seconded. I wanted to like BoI but just couldn't get into it. Really liked Gungeon though.

Remember that misprice on Civ VI on Games Republic a couple of weeks ago? (I know that I spent far too long trying to get it, without success...) Well, things haven't gone well for them since: http://www.gamepressure.com/e.asp?ID=1213

Games Republic store is going down before the end of 2016
Digital store Games Republic is soon going to be closed. Despite some interesting ideas, the platform failed to turn profit for its owner - Polish 11 bit studios.
Digital games store Games Republic is going to be closed before the end of this year. Such information has came from 11 bit studios – Poland-based game developer known for This War of Mine and the owner of Games Republic – via Bankier.pl (available in Polish). What are the reasons behind this decision? Well, as it usually is, it’s all about money. The board of the company evaluated that the platform’s financial results are unsatisfactory and there are no perspectives for changing that in the coming months.
----------------
I have to wonder how much of a factor that misprice episode might have been in leading to this, considering both the financial and reputational hit that they'll have taken.

they didn't honor the price and refunded people so i don't think the misprice had anything to do with it. Might have taken a hit on transaction fees but they would have to be ridiculously short on money already for those fees to matter in the long run.
Good to finally have a date for this. I was planning on getting Dungeon Souls during the winter sale but I might hold off with this and the new Enter the Gungeon update coming out soon.

Just started playing Star Ocean 5. It does looking pretty good for an anime-styled game, one of the best looking in fact if I'm not counting FF games. Tales, Atelier, etc look like PS3 games compared to this. I wonder if (or when) it'll come to Steam. It'll look amazing on 4K. It's been months already.

$30 each ain't bad, considering how much the same amount of content costed previously.

Wish that if you bought the toys and had download figures in your account you'd get the gold editions too.

There is a bundle with all three as well, it's 54.99 here anyway.
....
I bought it.
Nice, I was waiting for them to republish those. Nice price for the pack considering it comes with all characters and playsets. Also, I believe this is the first time 1.0 comes to Steam, that's pretty neat.

I actually tried to redeem a Steam copy of one of the 3.0 sets when the purchases were removed, but it wouldn't add to my account.
...
So who's gonna buy me one of them? :V

So once you buy the Disney Infinity Gold Collection you will be able to play with all the characters? Still you need to register to the Disney Web Page or how does it works?

The page says nothing about you being required to make an account or anything.

SO, once you buy it, you will be able to play it without any registration... that's fine...
How goes the Winter, Steam GAF?
Finished 3 games yesterday, figured I'd share a short feeling about them all:
Game's actually on sale right now, CDN$0.54/USD$0.49. Simple, fast paced arcade type. 3D Dodger. Only one set of controls, and that's WASD or arrow keys, in order to dodge the red blocks/lines that are coming at you. Its a bit painful to discern direction at first, feels like an illusion sometimes. The DLC is the original game on acid, because nothing looks right. Like a channel with a lot of noise because the signal is a mess. Pretty much all reaction time + hand-eye coordination
.
Really liked it. Music is still stuck in my head.
Point & click with really simple puzzles. Guess it was less for the puzzles, though. There's definitely crazy attention to backdrop/art and sounds + the soundtrack. Tight controls. Those things are where it shines. Super short, wouldn't say buy it at $9.99. Got it on sale for $2.49 last sale, seems the right price for a game that isn't more than 1.5hrs. x: Probably would have done a little better with some narration. Also has a shitty save system, if you want to quit in the middle of a world (Forest/Mountain/Ocean). You'll lose all your progress if you quit during, no save option, and there's no warning? Careful.
Easily the weirdest game I've played to day, and this is coming off my general boredom with Tengami. Never thought a point & click would make me feel anything, let alone what this one did. And this one just made me feel like the. Devil himself. I looked past the fact it was all animals. I looked past how macabre it can be. But
is where I drew the line. Fucking wild shit. And that ending. I love me some dark humour, but this just messed me up. ¯\_(ツ_/¯ I did like the puzzles in this. "Puzzles," since the hints are available around the room you're in.

oh, I also finally took a hack at Skullgirls, and jeez, was I missing out.

They put store pages up for the Zootopia stuff, I wonder if that was unintentional since they weren't supposed to be coming to PC. I know the gold version is out now but I hope they at least put the Zootopia DLC up for sale for the old version since it was never available before.
Did you activate the the game first? You need to have gotten the free sub in your account for it to work. That's what I did and thus got it for 2 bucks, woohoo.
No achievements though
On my PC (GTX 1060) it runs better on Vulkan, but I have a really outdated CPU though (Phenom II X4 955).

It was too late to activate the game at the time. I ended up getting a refund on the DLC.

I'd like to see it come to Steam too, but it's really tough to predict what games without Final Fantasy in the title from the Japanese side of Square Enix are going to do.
I'm intrigued by the Disney Infinity bundle. I'll give it a few days to see if everything works properly and what people think before buying though.
Ah, sucks man.
I seem to remember in the demo at least that Vulkan had serious framepacing issues even locked at 60FPS.
Well the game is finally download after 3 days so I will just try myself I guess.

Hey NISA is starting to use the label. I guess it will still be used in the future, at least for some games.

Well, yes, but those who redeemed their Steam keys kept them (as well as receiving a refund), despite the initial messages to the effect that the keys were to be revoked - and from what I can tell, this was the case for a fairly significant number of people. They also got a lot of 'outraged' negative reviews from those involved, which can't have helped either.
No slowdown or intermittent freezing when browsing your inventory, either. We can keep going up if you want, but I think it's safe to say that the new system is in fact not mildly incompatible with Firefox.
I mean, I'm sure the issues you have are real, however it stands to reason that if they were due to Firefox's innate inability to handle the scripting, then they'd be affecting Firefox users in general.[AAA Ubi game] would have words, although these days you can either fast-forward or skip them.
