I think I have DA:O on Origin from that fuck up a couple years back. Maybe If I got it on Steam I'd actually play it...eventually.

Man, is it hard to follow this thread. Quite different from the usual inoffensive banter of the Steam threads. Anyway, I picked a couple of games I've been waiting to go on sale, namely Dragon Commander and DuckTales.

You can use a fake US billing address and get the games through that, but be careful as some UK banks charge a international transaction tax, some up to £1.50. It might be best to ask a US gaffer to purchase these through AMazon US for it and pay the gaffer through paypal. The fee for paypal will be much lower than the bank international transaction tax, and if your bank is linked to your paypal account, the fee will be next to nothing.

EDIT: assumed you were in UK, but I guess this applies to other EU countries as well.

Oh alright. Yea, I got some good buddies in the States aswell, I might try it that way then.
Thanks.

but arent both non-games

The writing in Gone Home is actually good though. Non-game or not, Gone Home is a great game. (see what I did there?)

Dear Esther is experimental crap that can be avoided unless you want to see one or two pretty screenshots in motion.

Gratz!

Also, the 'Pro' racers have put upwards of 400 hours into BoI. I'm still amature comparitively. :lol



400 is nothing. Look at streamers like LethalFrag (who spent probably 6-8 hours a day every day streaming Isaac for a year before he moved on) or NorthernLion (with a 600+ episode series devoted to Isaac videos lasting between 20 and 60 minutes each).

Then there's CobaltStreak. This was a long time ago so he may very well have topped himself, but he had 100+ completed games in a row without dying at one point. (edit: Good lord, just looked up his youtube channel, apparently he recently finished another streak at 386 Mom kills without a death)

Bit of a replayable game.
 
I don't have any of the Ys...I am thinking of buying the flash sale. Yay or nay?

Honestly, neither look like something I'll enjoy. But I'll take your word for it.

I thought the price changed too but figured it was just a long day...

I would have bought it but I was at work and thought the price would last until I got home. Oh well, I'll check once more before the deals flip again tomorrow and if the price isn't back down at 14.99 I'll skip it until Summer '14 sale, and who knows if I'll even care about the DLC by then (bought the base game when it came out on 360).

Guys, how do the Classic YDKJ games keep?

Me and my SO love the new Jack, and I loved the old ones, but I won't buy them if in retrospect they're actually crap.

What time is it?

The new one is pretty good but nothing compares to The Ride. Buy without hesitation.

Might wanna check out the thread here. There's a link to getgamesgo who have it at $14.99.
 
AHHH!!!! I just got home from work and learned that Brothers lost, dammit.

But happy to see YS on there, definitely going to pick that up, maybe, idk, is it good?

Did it really sink that low?

Is it really that bad?? I just look at is and see such an amazing game. It saddens me :(

Yup, it's awful. You'd be better off getting X3(base game is about a hundred billion times better than rebirth) and modding the shit out of it.

Nickname among early adopters was X: Stillbirth.

X:Rebirth's biggest problem is that it's an awful game full of boneheaded design decisions, the bugs are just icing on a shit cake.
