You would have to pay me to buy MKX on the PC, especially if the rumors of how steamworks is the main cause of poor online gameplay in fighting games holds true. Injustice, MK9, and USFIV all are unplayable for me while the console versions run perfectly fine.

Well I'm pretty sure SF5 is cross play with PC so you could buy it on the ps4 and still play with steamgaf and your other steam friends

 

[Megasoum]

There are no region free games on steam anymore.

for finding cheaper options is there any deal is your friend

Ah bummer...

The game I want is so obscure (Formula Truck) that it's not even on isthereanydeal lol

 

[glaurung]

What is this game?

Besiege. It's on Steam Early Access right now for a pittance.

I recommend watching this nice video about it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIpaqoixURA

Spoiler

WTF is wrong with my English today. It's like I've forgotten half of my vocab.

 

[billmcdougal]

I really suck at besiege..no creative mind left in me at all.

Yeah, seems it's a game that is as great as the player's imagination.

I might need to play it to convince myself that I still have a decent one.

 

[Chariot]

What is this game?

Besieged. The OT is entertaining and chrome killing.

Skullgirls and Lethal League are both Steamworks and have the best netcode out there. And I wouldn't say that MK9 and Injustice are perfectly fine on console (I do agree that they are a special kind of fucked up on PC).

I feel like Lethal League as a concept needs to have flawless netcode to work online and it really does. #notallsteamdevs

Yeah I see that!

Oh well... I kinda hope it will show up on Nuuvem at some point just for the irony of getting a really cheap price on a Brasilan made game on Nuuvem lol.

 

[trailmix16]

any hints on a cheaper place to grab Darkest Dungeon? tf2 outpost is barren.

 

[Sarcasm]

Probably barren due to the new gifting rules.

Seems Dark Souls II is updating. I thought a new gubbins was tomorrow. Oh well can't complain.

I was just coming to see if anyone had anything to say about the update yet. My slownet is still 5 minutes out. Unless I'm misremembering they rolled some of the DLC out a day early as well even though it was impossible to buy them. But with season pass you could play them a day early.

i get the eternal reminder of the terrible decision i made buying that shitty ass game (and for $40, what a complete idiot i am)

i noticed this too

but honestly i don't think i'll bother without the new enemy placement stuff, new item descriptions is not reason enough for me

 

[iosefe]

Hmmm I think I might buy that star wars bundle

you should. and if you don't like RTS's, i know a guy looking for Empire at War

 

[NightmareTrigger]

ugh. As someone with not a lot of money, buying a game i'm not interested in playing for a single project, even knowing i'll be reimbursed just feels wrong.

Sounds wrong to me. Just don't buy it.

I think it's probably not so bad a game if you mod it, you can ask Milamber for tips if you dare.

 

[Nzyme32]

Grow Home so far is a pretty calming exploratory experience.

It's interesting. I'm not sure if it would be for everyone. Your given very little in the way of story other than your ship is on the look out for habitable planets, it finds one and sends you (a botanical style wall-e droid) to explore and get it growing.

It's a fairly big world from the looks of it, but it spans massively upwards, requiring you to climb around everywhere. Interesting wildlife and plantlife and ways of getting around using them it seem.

I like it at the moment, lots to explore see and do. Looks to be a lot of collection of resourses (diamonds) and nuturing and guiding a giant plant (star plant) and it's extensions to different floating islands in the sky.

I had a quick watch of the devs streaming, and it seems like there is a lot of plantlife, caves and animals that you need later on too.

 

[Hero Prinny]

you should. and if you don't like RTS's, i know a guy looking for Empire at War

Yea if I get it your friend can have that. If I do buy it it's gonna be for that RPG everyone raves about and the force unleashed 2. I really enjoyed the original back on the PSP way back.

How much is it in nuuvem?

 

[Parsnip]

Scholar says hi.

 

[zkylon]

I think it's probably not so bad a game if you mod it, you can ask Milamber for tips if you dare.

i modded it a whole bunch, it's still a borefest since the combat is awful no matter how many mods you attach to it and the dialogue is as bland and generic as fantasy dialogue can get

Scholar says hi.

oh is that in already?

ok i might bite just to see what he has to say

 

[LurkerPrime]

Scholar says hi.

Bed of Chaos I thought I killed you already...

 

[freshVeggie]

For those interested, the Devs of Grow Home are streaming the game via Broadcasting - http://steamcommunity.com/app/323320/broadcasts#scrollTop=0

Oh what are the odd. I was just watching this! :O

The game really does look cool and the gameplay soothing. Really great price for a new release too!

goddamn Anor Londo Greatbow knights.

I heard so many horror stories about them but when I got to them finally I bested them on my second try. There is a blindspot you can sprint to; right in front of the middle tower where your arrows can reach them but theirs don't you.
Poise the one on the left (easier reachable via bow) and sprint to the next archer, so his arrows will fly behind you. Then just force miracle, pyro or stab. Pretty easy to shove him off the ledge.

Best thing, once you clear them, you'll never have to go that path ever again.

Fuck what you heard about knocking down the walls, I'm coming in from the top. Finished all the levels in Besiege, I NEED MORE PLS.

http://a.pomf.se/qmmdbu.webm

Ha! Best part? You still didn't clear the level

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.

Oh wow, that looks pretty nice. First time hearing of this. Thanks Ken.

 

[Parsnip]

ok i might bite just to see what he has to say

Not a whole lot I'm afraid.
Unless he pops up elsewhere as well.

 

[zkylon]

hmm, no indication about where the scholar dude is weird

the place you're at looks like black gulch?

now try beating them with no shield

that's fun :>

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Where can you find him? Does he do anything or give anything?
Is this the only new substantial content added?

 

[billmcdougal]

Taking a half day from work. Yay!

To get a crown and fillings at the dentist. Boo!

I think I deserve to unwind with some more Dying Light for most of the rest of the day.

Really enjoying it now that I've been upgrading my parkour skills. I feel it should take less than 40 hits to kill a zombie, though.

 

[Parsnip]

Apparently he does move around, so there's more dialogue than I thought at first. First time is at black gulch, he sits on top of the primal bonfire.

I'm going to wait other people to figure out the locations rather than try hunting him down myself.

 

[freshVeggie]

Oh man, I just took another look at wiki and now I realize I made another unalterable mistake :/

I went into Painted World and cleared the whole level with Priscilla in hollowed form.

This denies the occurrence of NPC invasion by Xanthous King Jeremiah forever, no matter if I go back there in human form.

I don't care about the 30k souls he drops but I will never get the chance in NG now to get the Xanthous Armor Set nor his Notched Whip

More and more my mistakes are amassing and I feel a NG+ will ne needed.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Got a friend request from a self-admitted homophobe.

Kinda weird you're allowed to put that sort of information in your Steam profile.

EDIT: Just re-installed Quake 1 and Quakespasm.
Looks great.

Looks like someone has already figured where he is

SPOILERS obviously

[zkylon]

so far i've seen him in black gulch and undead crypt entrance

i'm gonna go see if he's with vendrick or at vendrick's castle

shrine of amana sounds like a place he could be at too

he gives a bit of overall story talk that's not too enlightening (cos it's mostly shit i already knew)

he's also super scary lol

(also i just tried and you can't hurt him lol)

 

[jshackles]

Kinda weird you're allowed to put that sort of information in your Steam profile.

I get a couple of adds every week from people who have avatars filled with hardcore pornography. Ignore and report. The amount of moderation that's done to Steam profiles is almost exactly 0.

 

[abracadaver]

I linked my xbox gamertag in my profile and that got removed by steam ...

 

[zkylon]

i get the impression the scholar is gonna work best if you just play the game and go meeting him along the way

warping to random places and hoping he'll be there is kind of lame

 

[Bigby]

More and more my mistakes are amassing and I feel a NG+ will be needed.

I don't know if you care about achievements or not, but to get all of them you need to get to the Giant Blacksmith in Anor Londo on NG++

Or have a friend drop Soul or weapon for you.

I finished it yesterday and I want more.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Play once and then never again.
You would have only used that whip and armor like once anyway.
