I need Valve to fuck up and put Injustice on sale for $5.

Just wanted to say that I'm loving this Snow Globe thing. I got R$ 7 just by selling those cards. Currently I have R$ 10 on my account, only from selling cards and I'm hoping to get at least more R$ 2 from them before this promotion ends.

OKAY, I need to step in for a second on Nether.
Nether is NOT made by the people who made Infection Vaccine Stories at all, they made the World War Z game based on the MOVIE on iOS.
And Nether isn't bad, I've played it for about three hours so far with a friend, and while more stuff does get updated and needs to be updated, I do like the systems it has in place. But think of it less as a straight-up survival game, it has more RPG elements than Day Z for example and feels more game-y. The environment, ability to explore a lot of buildings, and variety of monsters is fun and appreciated though, and surviving can definitely be tough.
I'll try and make a thorough video showing a more in-depth review of the game, but the developers have been kind and for some reason people have this weird misunderstanding that it is somehow connected to that OTHER game.

Wow. That's great! What a huge improvement in visuals and readability. Thanks!
As silly as people not buying games because you play through UPlay?
It's a personal preference. I will check some videos when i get home. Don't get me wrong, i think the game sounds amazing i am just worried about having 10000 internet memes shoved in my face but if it's like you say and it's not that bad i will pick it up.
I've heard the "arrow in the knee" joke before about ... Skyrim (?), but until you specifically pointed it out I didn't really make the connection. Knowing now, it does nothing to affect what is said in his posts, the actual substance of the matter at hand.
That is what Guacamelee is like. They may exist in the background, but you can easily just keep moving and not focus on them, and even if you do they will not affect the substance of the game at all. Unlike say the reference to El Santo, one of the greatest wrestlers of Mexican wrestling, which affects how they designed the game. Not that anyone not into Lucha will recognise it for that.
Nice giveaway and The_Monk picked up a great game.
It should be the default theme imho.
It's so well done and blends so nicely with Windows and even Linux

Its a game that really needs more than a month to get in to IMO. I used to play it and it took me a few months to really get into the proper swing of things - it was nice training up a covert ops though

Yeah, that's what turned me off initially on it unfortunately.

People disregarding one of The goty due to meme intolerance...

Sorry, I asked the question in a Nether thread and someone said it was the same guys.

last I checked...memes don't delete your savegames.

The memes exist entirely on billboards and ads centered around the games two towns. They're absent from literally 99% of the game world.
Yea and the Snow Globe cards have also boosted demand in other cards since you can get a Snow Globe card from crafting a set.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
It's a miracle there even still using neogaf with all the memes here.

Thanks to Chojka for Chivalry!
True, but the mod was out for ages and fairly well done so I wouldn't compare it with other alphas.
Sillier. I'm afraid Uplay will be shut down one day, leaving me unable to play the games I bought. Much like what is happening with GFWL this summer.
edit: and apparently it has deleted some people's savegames?
The 'memes' are easily ignored and have zero impact on the (outstanding) gameplay. They are posters on a wall in the background.

Wait, NeoGAF posts memes?, I don't believe it.

They have zero reason to be there other than to be memes, so it's about as forced as it can get.
Like the game's sense of humor is "haha, Mexico" and "haha, jokes you saw on the internet" so excuse me for exaggerating but I feel pretty confident suggesting people hoping the game is funny to not buy it.
Well, not an internet meme, but it does have Totaka's Song. It's a Nintendo Meme, that affects all, especially your ears.
I didn't see anyone respond to this, so I will even though this is a few pages late.
As a Metroidvania, Guacamelee is a ton of fun and does a lot of cool things with the abilities that you get. This includes everything from the standard "This area/chest is locked off because you need an ability you haven't gotten yet" to a few really challenging secret areas that you need to use every ability at your disposal to complete.
However, where the game really shines past the standard Metroidvania is with its combat and presentation. Think of the combat as having a side-scrolling beat-em-up feel with a small grapple system with a few moves that can help clear out areas with throws, piledrivers, etc. It becomes a blast to mess around with, especially later in the game and in harder difficulties. On the presentation end, everything is very light hearted and you'll find yourself chuckling at some of the characters and references that are thrown in throughout.
Also, Gold Edition I believe comes will the challenge modes DLC that was added later, and those were a very fun addition.
Thank you for Crysis!

What time is it?

Thanks. I've almost bitten at $5.00 for the last few Steam Sales but for $2.00, how can I not!
I don't remember any gameplay in that.
Thanks for the reply, sir. It looks pretty fun, guess I will sleep on it.
Although the memes are offputting
