Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Hahaha go on then what's the jist. Does sure look purrdy though (saying that I've been monkeying around with Gears of War which is the greyest game ever so everything else look vibrant).

On Nether, I made a video of it earlier today for the people who wanted some things on Nether: http://www.twitch.tv/aestheticgolem/b/488953888

On opinion, while it's in beta and still very rough around the edges, it has some good fun to be had. Fun with friends, the monsters are varied and interesting, some good exploration element, and random events are nice to have. It still has a lot of features, fixes, and the like to have implemented (the game has two bigger updates each month so far, with the last update being four days ago that added some new items, added a new enemy known as the golem, and added subway tunnels), but is fun as it is now and promising for the future. Just know if you pick it up now it is all still very janky, and while a survival type game, it is more game-y than something like Day Z (you have levels, skill points, events, etc.)

V The post below me is untrue. The developers of Nether made Dark Meadow and World War Z (game adaption of the movie) on iOS, they had nothing to do with War Z/Infection.

Any good dungeon crawlers? Diablo-esq games on steam worth checking out? Aside from obvious ones like Van Helsing, Path of Exile, R.A.W, Torchlight etc? I got that itch and i need to get scratching.

I got stuck at the Gargoyles on Dark Souls and never went back.. Hell of a game though.

That's a big road block for a lot of people. There are a few areas you can clear before you have to fight them, assuming you are fighting them right after the Undead Burg. Go take on the Lower Burg or Darkroot Garden, level up a bit come back and see how you do :)

Dark Souls is such a rewarding experience, I hate to see people getting frustrated so early in the game.

Grim Dawn is quite solid, though it's in Early Access and therefore not content complete. It's being developed by former Iron Lore (Titan Quest) folks and even uses the TQ engine.

Nether has the same devs that worked on WarZ - but they are the ones that left or whatever.

No thanks.

Just letting you know, I, and others, were jaded towards other games after completing Dark Souls. Literally took me months, to appreciate other games again.

I loved the final boss though. That music is so perfect. The lore for that moment is quite insane as well, takes you a couple play throughs to realize it.

Thanks Grief. I think It's kind of expected to be honest. I'll be okay with some "fillers" or 8 hour SP Campaigns as long I manage to find at least one decent game between those titles. I'm going to check the Backlog and do some search on Steam too. Oh Dark Souls looks so much better on PC, very happy with it thanks to Durante.

I'm not even sure what I'm waiting for, too sleepy and I think I bought almost everything I wanted.

If I'll get a hold of my guy tomorrow, I could host Forced 4 pack 3$ each, we'll see.

If you do and have an open spot, I'd like a copy for 3$.

Vote for Proteus or Legend of Dungeon? I'm guessing Proteus will win just because it seems to be more well known.

LoD please. And I hope for selfish reasons that the lower price, Proteus being in bundles and the Steam community tending to not liking 'non games' will help it winning.

We don't have "get out of jail free" cards, but if we did, she'd have one.
Will probably pick up Legend of Dungeon when it goes on flash—I'll be surprised if it doesn't win. Would probably prefer Proteus on Vita anyway if I ever end up with it.

...Might pick up AVGN Adventures because my brain is broken. (◍•ᴗ•◍)

Here are a couple of previously-unclaimed keys that need a home:

There's also a key for the Guardians of Middle-earth Smaug's Treasure DLC that's been collecting dust, though I'd be surprised if anybody takes it (there are no restrictions, by the way).

I can't believe Darksiders 2 is still $50 when not on sale.

Maybe it's because it was released when THQ was in its death throes and they didn't bother changing the price? I agree, though, it's a bit annoying. Even Kingdoms of Amalur dropped to $30 MSRP.

What's a good strategy rpg bundle to buy from Steam?

XCOM would probably be the closest thing, and there's an XCOM + Enemy Within bundle for $20 on Amazon (maybe not now, but some time? or maybe it's already gone? not sure). Otherwise, I think Agarest is an SRPG in the traditional Japanese sense. There's not that much else in the genre that's really "strategy RPG," only one or the other.
