Where is my Call of Juarez franchise daily?

 

[TheLetdown]

I'm having such a difficult time with Dungeon of the Endless, even though I'm experienced at roguelikes and have already picked up the basics. The thing that keeps getting me is the real time combat, I keep trying to hoard my food to the last second before I heal, and dying instead... or I forget to check on an off-screen character. I know I can pause the game whenever, I just never remember to do so when I should.

Game itself is brilliant though.

100%. I thought it was just me. I kept thinking, "Why do I suck so badly? I've played a good number of roguelike and -likes and -lights and -whatevers."

For all of that, I never get the feeling that the game is simply just too difficult. I'm convinced that I just need to recode my thinking to what the game requires. When I do, it's lights out.

I also love the feeling of a deeper lore, in that the game takes place with Endless Space, which I probably won't play, since my time for gaming is a narrow window and the time needed for 4x games is a gaping hole in the wall.

I might have to finally try out a Prototype game.

And how long is Stanley Parable? For some reason I'm still hesitant to spend money on it.

1 is better than 2. Moves and jumps have charge mechanic that instills a feeling of power like in Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Enemy types co-mingle aiding in a more chaotic environment whereas P2 sections them off onto 3 islands.

The removing of charging moves and jumps is what offended me the most about P2

 

[Knurek]

How long till Steam's Quake version is patched to play like this?

 

[Black Soma]

So new Humble Bundle tomorrow, right?

[fantomena]

Might pick up some Blacklist DLCs. Any of them good? Only want some real content, not buying weapons, cosmetic stuff etc.

 

[Arthea]

I was about to buy Shadowgate then I remembered that it is most expensive in EU, and if they hate me, I hate them back!

Spoiler

still tempted

edited: maybe someone remembers or knows, I was sure I have a retail Two Worlds 2 drm free, no, not the gog one, but now I can't find it. Could it be I'm mistaken?

 

[fester]

Would someone be kind enough to send me an invite to the NeoGAF Steam group? Apologies if there's a better place to request this, the FAQ in the OP didn't spell it out other than another GAF member will need to do it.

Thanks!

That one has two side missions that are pretty fun. They are the sneaking type side missions, not the horde mode stuff.

AMAZING deal ahoy:

Stick It To The Man + 6 games for 1.89€

Through the woods is greenlit

Papo & Yo is 90% off on Amazon

 

[Pachimari]

Steam makes this challenge infinitely more achievable, since you're not limited to console releases. Tons of well-done and short games to get you over the hump. Don't forget about replaying some old favorites, too. Have fun with it!

It's still really not achievable for me. I even have a hard time completing shorter games. My interest usually stays for about 1 hour with any game.

Play "A Bird Story," then. That's about an hour. Same devs as To The Moon.

I own Endless Space, will play eventually. I don't have time for 4x games nowadays either, but that doesn't mean I don't love them.

I agree the game isn't 'too difficult'. I'm confident I'm solid at the level strategy (build orders, powering rooms)... and then, I'll be on level 3 or something, doing great, with production leveling up, a 3rd character, some good equips, my scientist upping production, a solid selection of rooms all lit up, I'll open a room, and while I'm micromanaging a particularly large attack at my front line my scientist dies even though I thought he'd be safe with his auto-gun support and I didn't think to check up on him. Grrrr. It's not so much 'hard' as... I don't know, I almost wish the game autopaused and alerted you when a new character was attacked so you could go check up on them.

If I could I'd zoom out to see my entire dungeon for most situations, but I don't think you can (past tactical, which isn't the same thing).

It was 1,86 dollars which was 1.57euros for me so no. And really, SITTM is a steal for a fiver, so that's like steal-steal-ste

 

[Double]

It was 1,86 dollars which was 1.57euros for me so no. And really, SITTM is a steal for a fiver, so that's like steal-steal-ste

It makes 1.92€ out of my 1.89$, which just feels... wrong! =)

 

[Monooboe]

Yeah for me at least they add VAT, so that 1.89 dollar became 2.32 dollars.

My Let's Play of Do Not Fall:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geEeSpT0Ybs

Straight forward platformer-on-a-fuse. Most of the tiles you step on have a short half-life before they fade away and take a bit to reappear. Think of some of the more advanced platform levels from Mario games and you get the idea. Gameplay is from an acute-isometric angle and has some floaty physics. Hitboxes on enemies are small and platforming elements seem to have a generous landing zone. You gain different abilities as the levels go on. If I didn't tell you that it was made by a Chinese dev, just watching a brief instance of my LP would quickly highlight that fact. Not that that is a bad thing, it's just a decidedly Chinese game. Overall, it's just a middling precision platformer.​

 

[Kiru]

Free Desura Key for "Noire" that will also net you a Steam key when greenlit

 

[Beelzebubs]

I'm hoping for the substance pack. I might legitimately buy it as need to do a lot of texture work in the future.

Haha, I was in the same boat. Think it's a bug too, so act fast

can you confirm it works?

Yeah it works.

Make "when does the sale start" the first question.

Haha sure seems that way. Already got Data Hacker: Whatever and Farming Giant from some bundles I didn't bother to BTA.

The link that calculates how long it would take to beat all the games in your Steam library just takes me to a 404.

weird, any official announcement about that?

 

[Andrefpvs]

Does anyone know if having more games eligible for booster packs increases your chance of getting a booster for any game?

 

[drizzle]

Steam locked me out of trying to activate games - I don't know which games I have or don't have (too lazy to check) and Groupees allow you to automatically redeem games now - they just don't tell you when you already have the game.

 

[Phawx]

Hashtag Dungeon, Heavy Recoil, Illuminascii & Blood Alloy got greenlit.

Guess we got another big round in today.

where are you checking this?

Edit: Also thank goodness Groupees added a non-used steam key filter.

 

[madjoki]

weird, any official announcement about that?

Nope, but this...

means, better get keys quick

 

[InfiniteNine]

If only the Sega games made their way to steam as well.

Well I really wouldn't bet on anything coming from Sega based on this thoughsince MMD is just used as Japan's Source Film Maker and isn't an official Crypton product.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

My groupees library is currently a mess to wade through. Everything's showing up twice.

At least I found a few unactivated games from old greenlight bundles in there.

Plastica took the entire Steam library

Eh, it's fine. You could have bought all of those games in the meridan 4 groupees bundle for really cheap if you didn't get them in today's indiegala bundle anyway.

Still sort of funny though.

 

[TheAutomator]

Nope, but this...

was thinking of gifting some keys but if there's a risk of them getting revoked i best not to

 

[Parsnip]

Might pick up some Blacklist DLCs. Any of them good? Only want some real content, not buying weapons, cosmetic stuff etc.

That one has two side missions that are pretty fun. They are the sneaking type side missions, not the horde mode stuff.

I grabbed the Homeland DLC based on its description, good to know I made the right call.

 

[Phawx]

Even though it's doubled up, it's the same key
