i blindly bought all BIT.TRIP games just because i enjoyed runner and beat.
are they good ?

You made a wise choice.

 

[Alo81]

That's why the entire last page you see essentially all of the people trash Infinite, where as when the game was released, it was the complete opposite.



I'll concede that point, the word bad is a bit of a stretch.

I don't know that I agree with this.

I feel like it's similar to the Wind Waker effect except backwards.

I think it's still a good game but when you hear people talk bad about the game so frequently you look back on it in less fond terms.

This isn't to say that everyone saying they don't like it is wrong or anything, just that I think if people played it again fresh there might be some rosier responses.

 

[JaseC]

how long does Stanley Parable last?

[YianGaruga]

There was this rumor before the sale started that discounts would be the same as the previous sale.

There are enough examples around that show that that was wrong, right?

 

[Caerith]

The "good" path's ending is incredibly abrupt, but I liked the one of the final interactions you have with the bad guy. Dishonored's DLC had a much better executed story.

I haven't played either game yet, but I think the discussion over which video game writing is better/less bad would be more interesting if all arguments were appended with "and the last book I read was ____."

No, but you still did good (+3 to your Steam Score).

 

[Atraveller]

lol Mirror's Edge 2 I mean.

Mass Effect is the better ME.

I wish I had time and was savvy enough to sell cards. It's just free money sitting there.

Yikes, an hour? But folks like it, right?

Just leave some card enabled games idling while you go to sleep or to work, then cash them in on the market when you get up/get home.

 

[Knurek]

I wish I had time and was savvy enough to sell cards. It's just free money sitting there.

Just use Enhanced Steam, browse to your inventory, select card, pick price that is equal or marginally smaller than the lowest ATM Enhance Steam gives you and you're good to go.
80 Euro so far in card money, still have ~100 drops to go.

*needs one card to get the Escape Goat badge*

*camps the card exchange sites for card for weeks to no avail*

*gets booster pack for Escape Goat*

*opens pack*

*doesn't get the card needed*

fuuuuuuuck

Lol, I hate when that happens.

 

[Alo81]

Yikes, an hour? But folks like it, right?

It took some people over 8 hours to complete.

Maybe it would make the discussion more interesting for you, but it wouldn't make anyone's opinions more or less valid.

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

well then that website is worthless. there's that much content in there? do you have to really dig for it?

 

[Dusk Golem]

Yikes, an hour? But folks like it, right?

Yes they do, and the ability to judge how long this game is may be extremely difficult to pinpoint, and here's a slight spoiler but not a very big one (it becomes obvious pretty quickly at the beginning of the game):

Spoiler

The game has over 15 endings, and to get to each ending is a completely different path, and how long you take to get to an ending or discover a certain ending exists is up to you.

 

[Alo81]

well then that website is worthless. there's that much content in there? do you have to really dig for it?

It's actually meant to be sort of a joke post for people who have beaten the game. (Also I should have said 4 hours not 8.)

Honestly, it's the kind of game that you get as much out as you put in. It's very dependent on how long you want to mess with it.

 

[Card Boy]

Steam Store needs expanded catagories or sub catagories such as;

Shooter
Puzzle
Point and Click Adventure
Board Games

Hard as shit to find Point and Click Adventure games unless you go through like 500 games.

 

[VikasNarula]

I've played an hour of the original game tonight and I'm really impressed. It really feels like the perfect combination of a rythym game and a platformer.

I finished BIT.TRIP Runner 1/2 and i cant forget moment of joy. Thats some tough game.

It sure makes my quest for horror games interesting. They have horror as a sub-category on Greenlight, but not on the main Steam page.

 

[Alo81]

By the way, Electronic Super Joy is on sale for $1.50 right now.

If you like platformers, you should check it out.

Here's a little compilation GIF I made really quick showing it off.

The GIF doesn't show off the best part though.

That BUMPIN ASS MUSIC is fantastic.

OHHHHH YEAHHHHH.

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

huh, ok. Thank you very much. Man, Steam sales roll around and all the sudden I'm wringing my hands over $8 video games...

 

[derFeef]

Wo what can you do if your purchase did not count for the card progress? I bought MGR in the first minutes the sale started :/

 

[Jiggaloboy]

Wo what can you do if your purchase did not count for the card progress? I bought MGR in the first minutes the sale started :/

Preorders don't count, sorry.

 

[VikasNarula]

Does anyone notice all Snow Globe trading cards spike up to double on marketplace.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Wo what can you do if your purchase did not count for the card progress? I bought MGR in the first minutes the sale started :/

Cry.

Spoiler

Pre-orders don't count? Good to know.

 

[Pops Maellard]

All right, GAF.

What do you think, Bioshock Infinite or Dishonored?

Looking more for story, atmosphere, feels, and gameplay that rewards experimentation / imagination.

You're not going to get any atmosphere or feels from Dishonored. At all.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Got myself all of the Ys games offered by Steam. Sure they are only 50% off. But last time they were on sale they didn't go lower than that.

 

[derFeef]

Cry.

Spoiler

Pre-orders don't count? Good to know.

ah well
Stingy Gabe.

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

Any Americans want to help me buy a few games from Amazon? I know that I can use a US address, but Amazon has kinda been hassling me about that, locking my account temporarily etc., so I'd rather not chance it.

I need Europa Universalis Extreme Edition, Aliens: CM, Teleglitch and London 2012. I'll throw in a couple of dollars for your time, of course .

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Dishonored story is terrible just so you know.

Yeah, it's pretty shitty.

But man. The gameplay is solid.

But I can't change the resolution, which sucks.

 

[Intheflorsh]

That's odd, have you tried editing the ini files? It's an unreal game, so that should work.

 

[Atraveller]

Yeah, it's pretty shitty.

Why can't you?

There was this rumor before the sale started that discounts would be the same as the previous sale.

No, for the majority of the store the prices are the same, as per the leaked memo. There are just a few new instances where stuff has deeper discounts. There's also some stuff that was on sale in Autumn, that is seemingly not on sale now. Most all of the prices are the same though.

 

[e36wheelman]

Infinite's story was verging on good until the

Spoiler

Vox Populi

stuff, then it fell apart. Dishonored had a generic story and they tried too hard with

the twists

. The last book I read was A Storm of Swords.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Why can't you?

Doesn't show up under Video in the menu.

... sigh...

[Atraveller]

Do I need to get the bonus content for Electronic Super Joy?

 

[mrgone]

ME2 is the only EA game I will ever buy only if Solar Fields does the OST though.... ME is a masterpiece <3 <3

Bioware points make me sad. Some of that Mass Effect 2 DLC looks pretty good, but alas.

 

[Ibuki]

Enjoy!

Thank you, I ended up winning Damnation.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Enjoy!

Thanks Mulder. Always liked you more than Scully.

 

[Atraveller]

lol Mirror's Edge 2 I mean.

Bioware points make me sad. Some of that Mass Effect 2 DLC looks pretty good, but alas.

neoism you see? Everyone think ME is Mass Effect.

 

[Deadbeat]

I did not know they still havent added sprays to CS:GO. I am now disappointed.

 

[Caerith]

Maybe it would make the discussion more interesting for you, but it wouldn't make anyone's opinions more or less valid.

Oh I don't mean to invalidate anyone's opinions, just put things in perspective. The writing in video games runs a gamut from "utter shit" to "pretty okay," so regardless of which is better or worse, it's not like either is Pulitzer-tier.

 

[ISOM]

Bought Dark Souls for $11, I hope it's good.

 

[Alo81]

Do I need to get the bonus content for Electronic Super Joy?

It's the soundtrack + digital poster for the game, so that's up to you.

For what it's worth, the soundtrack is absolutely one of the best parts of the game.

 

[NingenJanai]

Was gonna buy the two tribes bundle but now they have fixed the price

 

[Alo81]

... sigh...

Yeah my man!

 

[Caerith]

Bought Dark Souls for $11, I hope it's good.

It's so good that people call it the Dark Souls of video games.

 

[mannerbot]

Bought Dark Souls for $11, I hope it's good.

It's certainly worth that, but if you're going to ignore everybody telling you to wait for the daily/flash sales, I don't want to see you coming in here complaining when it's $6.
