STEAM | December II 2014 - A thread for people who don't like sale side posters.

Honestly, this Fork Parker Game runs and feels better than the majority of 2D indie games. It's solid as fuck, feels great, and has great controller support (ds4/xbox automatically). The game is also pretty damn fun once you get the hang of the rope mechanic. I'm excited for Gungeon if it's running on this engine, and I wouldn't mind if they went and developed a full Fork Parker title. Give the kids what they want (random levels, roguelike-like, leaderboards) and run wild with the level templates. I'd be down.
The annoying part about the Fork Parker game is that there's no resolution control. Full-screen only, and you can't resize it either after forcing windowed mode through Alt + Enter.

Agreed it on having (surprisingly) solid platforming fundamentals though.

300GB, and it's shared between 5 people. We usually hit it, so I have to be very careful about downloads.

I don't think I could survive on anything less than 400GB, and even that wouldn't be enough some months.

They're also the dumbest thing.
I just don't understand their need.

From the consumer perspective, depending on your location, sometimes you have no choice at all. In many places, some ISPs hold a virtual monopoly on internet service unless you're willing to use dialup or incredibly slow DSL, which allows them to dictate terms to the consumer. Data caps are one way for them to increase their earnings and the consumer has little alternative but to just take it (or move).

From the ISP perspective, it's all about money.

It's two pronged. The first reason is the fact that most of the ISPs also provide cable tv and telephone service. With internet plans, the latter two are slowly becoming less and less desirable, as you can piggyback phone service off data or just cut it altogether using cell phones only and instead of typical tv service, just stream everything online, even directly to your TV. By setting up a data cap, they're effectively limiting your streaming options, making it far more likely you'll set up TV service through them at an exorbitant price, with the potential possibility for on demand revenue.

The second reason is that with data caps, they can also charge vicious overage fees and correspondingly "different" data plans with different data caps. They likely saw how cell phone service providers were able to charge absurd amounts for only a marginal increase in data usage and wanted a piece of that pie as well. By setting an artificial data cap, they can potentially get you to pay substantially more for a "higher tier" of data caps. In the event you go over as well, they can charge you ridiculous amounts per MB over.

Reached a point in Detective Case and Clown Bot in: Murder in the Hotel Lisbon where the game just hung. Animations still play but nothing can be interacted with. Haven't saved in a while... :/

Also can't take any screenshots while in game, which is apparently a bug some users have come across. Wish these things were fixed.

One of the devs of the game posts on GAF

Maybe PM him to help resolve it?

Played Waves recently, pretty fun little Geometry Wars clone. What's some other cheap simple shooters/arcade like games? I miss the Steam sale hidden gems threads :)

Wow, that Dragon Age 2 price on Nuuvem, too bad for region restrictions. Funny thing is I thought I already owned it on Origin, but I don't

Anyone has some thoughts to share on State of Decay?
Had the game on the wishlist for such a long time, I forgot why I even put it there. :)

I had it on my wishlist for a long time too but I bought it a few sales back, honestly couldn't bring myself to invest time into it after playing for 3 hours and seeing how the mechanics worked (having to wait like a full 24 hours in real life for a character to be healthy, mediocre ai and melee/shooting that just wasn't fun) I uninstalled it.
 
get all weapons

it's kinda lame that you gotta ng++ it to get it and i actually have a character in ng++ that has all weapons except one of sif's because i was an idiot and upgraded the wrong sword and ended up with two repeats (idiot idiot idiot idiot idiot idiot idiot idiot idiot)

i got stuck on ng++ four kings with that character so i never got it, but another option might be just grab her and see if i can beat four kings now, maybe just summon if steamworks is alright and rush ng+++ for another shot at sif

i just fucking hate four kings

Grief just got it... so talk to him, maybe you can get your SL sync'ed up enough to have him drop the one you need and save you some time.

I'm so pissed I got screwed out of using my final 3k gems to get Sentris or something else good... I ended up crashing hard and when I got up, the auctions were over. In the meantime everything had bottomed out and some of you were getting Sentris and the like for 2.5$ or so. (Good for you, not good for me and my love of bargains...)

I was trying to get The Sun and Moon during the auction but I got sniped :(

I then grabbed something else and I didn't have enough gems to bid again. I think it went as low as 2500 or so.
