That is nice and would be nice to detail how many people blacklisting the individual takes to make it permanently to the list.

Can you expand on that?

Some people barely post in the thread (check some that win that rarely post and have the post limit just to enter giveaways) and people who win too much and don't give anything forward I suppose.

Yeah, open shaming would be for the best. There is no reason to protect those who siphon on the generosity of honest Gaffers.

Was it Chariot that blacklisted almost everyone from SteamGAF? I know there was a giant list that had some people twice and even thrice that was the event of the day or a few days on SteamGAF.

Was Hilarious tbh.

i dunno why you hated it, cheese, i thought lifeless planet was excellent!

* claire
* knock-knock
* lifeless planet
* the novelist
* stranded
* year walk
* dreaming sarah
* a bird story
* maybe giving shadow warrior a second chance
* world end economica

probably one of the games that depicts scale best since maybe shadow of the colossus, you just feel so small when you make these endless treks along the unlimited nothingness, and the atmosphere and setting are incredible, that mix between old, rusty, blocky soviet buildings and the eerie alien desert is combined with that amazing music score sells the mood so damn well

the story gets a bit silly by the end but the atmosphere that the game creates is so good and i really enjoyed the platforming physics. felt really weighty and had like a believable floatyness, what with being in space and all. other issues with like some latter sections being not so great, and those fucking spider plants, but everything is forgivable

great game

"Hate" is a strong word for it (and should only be followed up by the word "Plus"), but I did find myself at odds with my own enjoyment of Lifeless Planet. The sense of scale was impressive at times, and atmosphere is well-established in pretty smart ways considering the manpower on hand to make the game. Unfortunately, the writing and scenarios put too many marks on the board against it. Something felt distinctly cheesy about it, like a bad McCarthyism-era anti-communist pamphlet. "Don't get your ass to Mars, the red planet is a Communist Planet!" The platforming segments sometimes felt grating and the rest of the puzzles were pretty clumsily implemented.

I do give it credit for a strong opening, but as a whole I found the game to be fairly weak. I praised Kairo for its minimalist approach to scale, and even as a one-man-army project like Lifeless Planet, I felt it hit the marks a bit better by better integrating the few gameplay elements it did have. Lifeless Planet got in the way too much with poor attempts at scares, janky puzzles, unfortunate design decisions like arbitrarily disabling the jetpack because reasons, and wrapping up on what I found to be a really misguided and slightly preachy note.

I can see why some would like it, and I wouldn't think less of anyone who did, I just feel like I somehow played a different game than those who praise it.

When you use the command BLACKLIST, it says that I've identified users who abused giveaways.


BUT WHO ARE THEY


I have identified the members of ISIS.

I just thought you'd like to know that.

Modbot is protecting them, it's all a big conspiracy!

By the way, thanks and I hope that all goes well with the new job interview.

What the hell
Lorence
boss in Trails in INSANELY hard.
He cheats like hell, stunning and confusing my characters, impeding them from using arts, also he spams S attacks like a crazy, and he casts a spell to be invincible for two turns too.
I hope I won't encounter such bosses going on :l

Well, I think they expect most players to realize you are supposed to lose to him. He can be technically beaten if you are dead set on it, but I think the benefit for doing so is minor and only to get a starting bonus in the next game.

It's funny. More often than not if I feel something is too hard I instantly think "I'm supposed to lose" if it's a jrpg/wrpg. Which seem to be the only games that really do that.

Yep. Which reminds me of Suikoden Tierkreis. I think I lost count of how many times it happens on that one.

Deponia The Complete Story has separate cards from the other Deponia games - that's pretty funny. The achievements look pretty much to be a compilation of the all the other achievements.

Achievement as well.
And it's really quite hard to lose against him. Had to refight him for the final party achievements, didn't even try that much and still mopped the floor with him.

I'm somewhat excited. I want to play it but I'm not jumping through hoops to do so asap. I'll indeed play it when I get back though. Probably the first thing I do. I won't be really excited until we get RE7 or some crazy spinoff. REmake had the same hype I do for Rev2.

Even though I had played that before.

How do you do that thing where ModBot tells you how much you've given and how much you've taken?
I did/do direct gifting through Steam most of the time, usually I leave giveaways for proper raffles or for keys I have no idea whom to give it to but even so I still think I'd be in the negative, I want to see how much kindness was left unpaid.

Just one, we simply built a add-on device that cycles through the discs until you have your desired shape.
