IGN - LEGEND OF KAY GETTING REMASTERED FOR WII U, PC

Still trying to process if this is a good thing? I always saw this as shovelware back in the day

 

[titch]

i can't read what comes after this

To busy buying LIS?

 

[Corpekata]

guys, read comments for this game, that's... educational (><)


edited: also it coming to steam is apparently megaton, so there is that

Not a megaton as much as it being the game of a Gamergate target so, in all their ethics, they've decided to bombard the game with trolling and downvotes.

They know that downvotes don't do anything?

 

[Corpekata]

They do realize that downvotes don't do anything?

I don't think GGers recognize how Greenlight works given the conspiracy theories thrown around about how Depression Quest got greenlit. They tend to ignore the whole "Greenlight is a wasteland" thing and that voting no is meaningless.

So....apparently now you can manually remove gifted games from your account?

 

[ExoSoul]

i'm a bit confused

is darkest dungeon like a roguelike thing or something like xcom?

It's a rogueli(not sure if -ke or -te) that seems to be inspired by the word "grim", that's probably why it has a ghotic-esque art style and appears to be set in a pre-industrial world.

You still have HP, damage and probably "MP"

Spoiler

although I imagine it'll be called stamina or something like it

but you have other factors to take in consideration like famine, psychological stress, diseases and so on.

This is noticeable in the game in a quite pleasing way: your healer, who often times is a mage that heals you through mysterious ways, is actually a doctor, who will do probably unpleasant things to you.
Even the classes show (by what they are and what they're called) that this game, while maintaining it's share of fantasy, goes for a a more realistic approach of despair rather than send all demons in Hell attack your village.

Edit: If you won't buy LiS please consider picking this up =P

Spoiler

and then streaming it for me since I can't buy it atm xD

 

[Ozium]

There are a ton of indie bundles going on now.

where?

 

[Corpekata]

Darkest Dungeon is more of the XCOM vein. There are roguelike elements but not random to the extent of a lot of them. You've got the goals of the campaign and a base to manage alongside your recruits.

 

[Parsnip]

For fans of Demon's Souls/Dark Souls/Bloodborne and/or the IGA Castlevanias, I recommend checking out Ska Studios's upcoming Salt and Sanctuary which seeks to be in line with those two ideas.

Jason played an alpha build of this on giantbomb's extra life livestream. Seems neat.

Don't do it though just to test it. They are really gone then. I have no idea why Valve would let you do that.

 

[MUnited83]

Nope, only if the game came from a 2pack/3pack/4pack/etc

 

[derExperte]

Darkest Dungeon is the top seller, not bad.

Wish I could have it all for... Not twelve bucks. I can't even afford the 11$ BTA.

But hey, 1$ tier has some nice stuff in it. Still really want KOTOR 2, but whatchu gonna do.

Blue Revolver is a Shoot'em up that currently in its early stages. I've played the demo for this game and I can't wait to see the end product from these guy. Give the game an upvote if you like what you see.

Decent style, I upvoted.

Right now is $12 or nothing for me. I want both KOTOR but for that price I'll also take both unleashed games. It all comes down to the new games that they add next week, but with today's BTA I really doubt that they will be any good.

The month has barely gotten started and I'm down to about a hundred bucks. It's safe to say it's 1$ or nothing for me, even though I don't own a single game in the bundle.

xcom is basically you have a base thing in which you do base stuff and then you go out and kill stuff with your dudes and level up your dudes and get points for base thing so you can level up the base thing and do more base stuff like leveling up your dudes and giving your dudes cool new armor

Is Indigo Prophecy 1080p?

 

[jshackles]

It's like Valve is trying to make Steam's wishlist hard to use.

It looks like with the latest update, they've removed the price of each game from the wishlist page. Unfortunately this also breaks Enhanced Steam's ability to total these items.

Not sure yet if this is a bug or a feature.

 

[Turfster]

Pretty sure it is.
"1080p 60fps"

Weird. It looks like the "Price" button for sorting is still there, so I'm assuming it's a bug.

 

[jshackles]

... and here I thought they couldn't make the wishlist any more shit than it already was.

That's what I was thinking. It looks like their API is also taking a massive dump at the moment so things like regional price comparisons aren't working at the moment. Again, because Valve doesn't have "patch notes" on Steam or any communication whatsoever, I don't know if it's just down temporarily or if that particular API is being phased out (I sure hope not!).

Weird. It looks like the "Price" button for sorting is still there, so I'm assuming it's a bug.

Hmm yes that is weird. Interestingly enough, sorting by price isn't working correctly for me and seems to be putting things in random order. For example it put Pillars of Eternity ($44.99) between The Legend of Korra ($14.99) and Geometry Wars 3 ($14.99). So yeah... probably a bug...

 

[Panda Rin]

Darkest Dungeon is pretty amazing. That voice narrator is pretty boss.

Valve's price sorting shits its pants regularly on normal search too, tho.

If I need to move my game saves to a new drive, how might that be as least painful as possible?

And can I install steam on one drive and have it install games on another?

 

[bluechox2]

it may look like that humble star wars bundle's tier 2 may go over 12 real soon...

 

[Corpekata]

If I need to move my game saves to a new drive, how might that be as least painful as possible?

And can I install steam on one drive and have it install games on another?

Yes to the question.

Saves are generally in your documents folder, though they can often be in subfolders like My Games, so basically just copy it from your old computer and past it into the new documents folder. If there's any games you're really into I'd verify just where the save file is though, some can get weird. Some are in the Saved Games folder for me under the the C drive's user directory rather than documents, for instance.

Can look into Game Save Manager too if you want to be safe. Haven't used but heard good things.

That is very odd. Why would they get rid of pricing? Skimming through and seeing the highlighted discounts is like the most convenient thing about the wishlist. Hopefully just a bug.

You just create a library on another drive and install there.

I'm talking about the sorting of priced content. You can filter out most demos by specifically "Games", and Pizzarian and Ephemerid are erroneously listed as not having a price because they unlocked a short while ago and Steam's search system hasn't picked up on that yet. It's not perfect (free content should at least be grouped instead of just mashed together in no apparent order), but prices are sorted correctly as per one's preference.

 

[billmcdougal]

Amazing timing on the giveaway and reminder/link, guys

I'm psyched, I had no games from this bundle (played KOTOR a long time ago, not on steam though), and this is the only one that I definitely wanted.
