Well, Rock of Ages 2 sold very good considering almost non-existent marketing, it's currently have 45k owners according to steamspy
Not to be douche bag. But if there is a game that interests you, then you should look for the release date by your self.

45k is much more then I thought. It seems like Destructoid is the only one of the larger gaming sites that have reviewed it, so yeah, that really passed by without much notice.

I'm betting it had to do with that Binding of Isaac pack that was only available for free for the first four weeks. It's no longer for sale though.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
There's a sequel to Rock of Ages?!
Well, you learn something everyday. Wishlisted!
The original was a big surprise for me at the time. Never completed the campaign but I had a blast with it. Strange, charming game.
And this is a very late, unnecessary response.

It was For Whom The Bell Tolls, actually.

It got +10k owners less than week after last time i looked at sales numbers - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=250876469&highlight=#post250876469 Not to mention it got +27k owners during September:
Speaking of, the FoD sub wasn't disabled, so the DLC is technically still available.

I am really surprised why Cuphead didn't get a demo. They could release one to attract even more people.

Well the developer is a 3 person team. I'm sure priorities went to having this game as polished as can be. And judging from the sales due to positive word of mouth and streamers streaming the game, I think the focus was justified. Still, a demo could pop up for the game in the near future.

I hope so.
Atlus was right all along.

Wrote my impressions on Figment here in case anyone is interest

Took me 7ish hours to beat the main game, overall a good action adventure game, although the movement can feel a little awkward at times.
I should prob. start Hob soon buuuuuuuuut Wardor is releasing soon so I'll start that first instead.

Less than 3 month left until 2017 end, and i still need to finish 9 games for 52 challenge... Maybe i should play small indies and stop looking for stupid shards in Agents of Mayhem

This will be neat! I'm still curious if I can handle the difficulty.

Gothic 3 was the low point for Piranha Bytes. They've made a noticeable effort to reduce the jank and bugs in their games in the Risen series. That's not to say that the Risen games aren't janky, but it's nowhere near as bad as G3. Unfortunately, I feel like they've also sacrificed some of their ambition in their quest for making polished games. They're still fun but nowhere near as good as Gothic 2 was.
I'm also not super pleased with the videos I've seen of Elex. When I first heard that they were making a science fiction game I was glad that they were breaking out of their usual medieval/rural setting and going with something completely new. Unfortunately, when videos of the game surfaced, they showed that this futuristic sci fi world they have still has the same straw huts and medieval buildings that they've always made. So they've basically reused assets from the earlier Risen games.
That said, I've still pre-ordered the game. There aren't many studios that make the kind of games PB does and I've almost always enjoyed them.

Right after you meet "Earl" when the game decides to become a bullet hell shooter.

Risen was my first Piranha Bytes that i finished and actually enjoyed. I missed first two Gothic games, and heard a lot nightmare stories about Gothic 3 when it's released, so i ignored it too. Few months ago i tried to play Gothic 3 for the first time, but Steam version still a buggy mess, fonts were missing and game crashed few times during tutorial village, so i gave up and uninstalled it, didn't even bothered to write review. Maybe Risen lacking in some fields comparing to Gothic series, but at least i enjoyed it without any major bugs. Risen 2 was worse than original, but still mostly enjoyable experience, though some quests bugged for me and i finished them earlier than i should, once final (?) boss suddenly spawned in natives village before i meet him in other places. But when i tried Risen 3 and it had same map with idiotic shadow or whatever zones... I don't remember why exactly, but Risen 3 felt like bad kind of junk for me, and way too similar to Risen 2, even though i finished R2 few years before starting R3. Now i'm cautiously optimistic about Elex, previews impressions looks tempting, but i still not sure if it's worth to buy it before actual reviews came out.
You need to install the Community Patch for Gothic 3.

You can. It's really not that bad.
After waiting for ages i finally got it
But Steam is peaking at 60-65 Mbps. Maybe i should try new region?
I have to wait until December for 500/200. Currently on 12/1. I can't fucking wait.

Been on 700KB/s for 10+ years now
Seems the windows store version of cuphead is glitchy and broken compared the regular steam/gog version. All 12 people will be devastated.

Same here, pretty much. Technically I get 5 Mbps but it's a bit faster than that.

Risen 3 starts you out on a small tutorial island and after that sends you to Antigua, which is copy pasted from Risen 2. I have no idea what compelled them to do that. I know it's a bit trite to say this but the real game starts after you leave Antigua and you have to choose which of the 3 massive (Risen 1 sized) islands you go to. And those islands are where you can see the same design principles that made Risen 1 pretty good. It's the core/meat of the game.
It's a bizarrely poor choice to send players to a copy pasted island from the previous game when Risen 3 itself is not hurting for new content at all. There is much more to be done after you have cleared out those 3 big islands as well. Just a terrible choice they made and it obviously turned off some folks from putting time into it.

Thnx, makes comparing so much easier. Pixelvision looks great, but I think I will stick to Minimal Steam UI

hOW Long is that offer gonna last? I'll have Wardor downloaded by tomorrow.

I hate this shit. I think in Mortal Kombat X, there are certain costumes you can't unlock unless you play the mobile version and link them both to your WB account.
I actually bought Rock of Ages 2 for the Binding of Isaac pack and then I refunded it since I wouldn't have time to play it anyways (sue me!), but you still have to own the game to activate a DLC thats Free on Demand, right?
Yeah.

WB is particularly bad. Gotham City Imposters had all kinds of dumb account things and issues on top of GFWL.
And the sad part is that the game was actually good fun with a nice quirky spin but it was just weighed down by bullshit.

I didnt mind the first game, although I thought it was highly overrated but every single thing I see about this game makes me sad.
