I took The Cursed Heart but when I activated the key it was The Siren's Call (I don't have any problem with this but just in case someone takes the Siren's Call and it gets another different game ).

I've had that problem multiple times now.

I've been looking for Siren's Call since I have Cursed Heart, but every time I win Siren's Call it's Cursed Heart

The barrage of steam sales in the second half of the year always makes me forget that the first half is basically completely empty.
And no good sales on other sites right now as well..

I'm hoping for the repeat of last year's Anime Sale.

Spoiler

Still haven't played half of games I bought then

So, I got a 144hz monitor and I HATE IT.

I'm still using the 1080p Samsung LCD monitor I bought 9 years ago. Might be time for an upgrade.

I'd be so angry if I couldn't, waste of a good amount of cash.

Model, mate, which model.

I got the Acer GN276HL 27-inch. I honestly wasn't on the market for a new monitor but my 1070 wasn't compatible with my old ass Acer so I was due for an upgrade. It really brings out the best in the card.

Has anyone tried Giga Wrecker, the latest game from Game Freak?

It's a pretty good physics based platforming action game.

 

[Ozium]

how is NORTHGARD?

I'm still using the 1080p Samsung LCD monitor I bought 9 years ago. Might be time for an upgrade.

I managed to overclock my 1080p IPS monitor to 75Hz (didn't even know it was possible), so I'm kinda set for another year or two.

Ooblets looks pretty good.

Wow, the news about Double Fine becoming the publisher for Ooblets is great. I've had my eye on it for a little bit and hopefully this gives it some more exposure.

I wouldn't say it's a huge deal but you'll feel the retro factor of a game made like 8 years before it as the combat system in Symphonia is greatly simpler.

I find Symphonia more memorable than Vesperia so go with that one.

Wait, how do you understand this sentence?

I understand there will be a cynical view of the funeral industry, I imagine through dark humor but based on events which are not far-fetched.

Night in the Woods falls apart in the last act in a way I've never seen any game match, and that includes Mass Effect 3. Absurd, full of plotholes, incomprehensible, and so on. Really hope I'll sleep on it and realize I missed something.

well thats not something you want to hear from a mostly narrative driven game. How long did it take you at least?

the lack of buzz in this thread, and even in the OT about it is ... bizarre, only because of how hyped everyone seemed to be on it, and now nobody is talking about it, be it good or bad (there was someone else that commented on it briefly earlier and that was it that I saw)

 

[Sarcasm]

For those interested in Northgard, Gamesplanet is running a -20% flash sale that ends in a little over six hours. The game unlocks in 14 hours, coincident with the store update.

Edit: Oh, wait, six days, not six hours. D'oh. There'll be no launch discount on Steam, though, so it's still a deal.

Oh the game is out!

Wait its still cheaper on steam for me with the 10% launch -.-

How is the game?

I played an hour yesterday and found it dull. Real dull.

I'll continue it later and see if it gets better.

Apparently, it is a 7-hour game.

I have played the two free side-games and it is no surprise to me if the main game were a dark-humor artsy surreal non-sense. It is part of the appeal.

Steam reviews are very positive (95% positive with 128 Steam purchases, so no Kickstarter backer or free copy).

The genre can get boring, especially if you are not in the right mood. Am I right? 😆

Yeah, Celeste is an expanded version of one of the best Pico-8 games out there. If it's anything like that version, this is worth a look!

 

[C4rter]

Remember this game?
It had a PC release


For that matter, how was the PC ver. compared to the PSOne ver? Would really like for it to be re-released on PC.

Damn straight I remember this game. It was awesome.
I can't compare PSOne and PC but I loved it on PC back in the day.

Master of Orion is on sale.
How not accessible at all it is?

(The only other space 4x game I've played is Endless Space 1 and I am horrible horrible at it)

Master of Orion is pretty accessible. Just with trying it out you can get pretty far on your first try (google a thing or two here and there).
It doesn't have that many options in comparison to similar games of the genre.

 

[Vazduh]

I wish Activision either rereleased Hyperblade or remade it. Loved that game!

 

[PandaPedinte]

Just finished Power Hover and while it was short I enjoyed my time with it. The levels becomes harder as you progress and I'll go back to the ones where I missed some batteries to collect. There are also a Challenges that I still need to play more, but they appear to be focused on you get a score to unlock the next one.

Some of that sprite work feels almost a bit too close to the games that they are inspired by.

I find Symphonia more memorable than Vesperia so go with that one.

Basically, after I finish Wolfenstein 2008, Vesperia is the last game I need to play before I need to box up my 360, so I was wondering if Symphonia would seem especially dated if I played it afterwards.

It would feel dated but at the same time it has a charm to it that modern ones dont have. The first hours can be a bit grating tho.

Sniper Elite 4 is really fun, open world suits it really well. Runs gr8 looks gr8, r8 8/8 m8.

Sounds like a good purchase when it reaches 1/8th of it's current price.

It's the sort of game I'd hesitate to spend more than £20 on, complete with all DLC

LOL. Yeah, Nintendo is going to let this slide for sure.

 

[JaseC]

According to Random Reddit Poster #484284, if you try to redeem the code again before the 30 minutes is up, you'll be slapped with another 30-minute wait.

Finished styx today, good game but the final part...what were they thinking??

Yeah, between the elves and the boss fight, the last leg of the game does leave a bit of a sour taste.

Yep. Go to the top right corner, select the on/off symbol. Select "Minimize Big Picture" and you'll see your desktop. Pretty cool for steaming movies.

I made sure to talk with everyone on each day as much as I could and it took me about 9 hours and felt substantial enough content and length wise. There's very much a gameplay loop past the intro but it works well in the context of the story.

Apparently, it is a 7-hour game.

I have played the two free side-games and it is no surprise to me if the main game were a dark-humor artsy surreal non-sense. It is part of the appeal.

The surreal aspects of the last act aren't the issue I have, it's much more how it narratively jumps the shark into absolute absurdity. I was so entranced by it to that point that I played it in almost one sitting once I got off work outside of a break to jog. Hadn't done that with a game in years.
