PSA: Doom 3 BFG comes with controller supported ports of the first 2 games plus the expansions.
You got JaseC'ed.
Does it have Rift support too? Or did that never come? Asking in advance of my rift purchase next year...

Guacamelee is definitely more Metroid-esque then Dust.
I know you were joking, but PM ModBot with the subject "my loot".I wanna know how many games of that big Pie I managed to get
Kinda surprised they haven't fixed this yet.
No, it's one connected overworld where you use new traversal and combat abilities to access new areas. It's very much a game in the tradition of Metroid but with melee combat. I liked both games but Dust really doesn't fit into the "Metroidvania" label. Guacamelee never reaches Shadow Complex levels of feeling like a remake of Super Metroid, but it's certainly the same genre.

Cook, Serve, Delicious is easily my favorite game i've bought so far, though i'm really enjoying Hotline Miami.
Also, CSD is an asshole. 4 card drops, and 3 are the same card. If anyone needs a Loaded Potato card for that game and has anything else, i'll take it!

Really? I found it was surprisingly difficult to do anything interesting, and it crashed on me several times. I bought it for $2 a year or two ago and thought it was a (small) waste of money.

Ah okay. All those games are great either way so comparing it to one or another in some fashion works for me.
Volgarr is the superior game. If you're in the mood for a metroidvania Guacamelee is good too though.
And congrats to stumpy and moddy!
Having played through both I'd vote for Volgarr. Guacamelee is quite good too, can't really go wrong either way. Volgarr is just a more tightly designed, satisfying game to play.

Cooking everything is bad.
I had weird issues with 2 as well I think. Had to lower settings to prevent crashes, I'm unsure what was wrong.
Congratulations!
Are there any other neat modbot statistics you know of? I can guess the most given away game *cough* Bad Rats *cough* , but any cool tidbits would be fascinating.
I know you were joking, but PM ModBot with the subject "my loot".
Oh Gosh!!! Thanks!!!
Who would've thought that...
Völgarr is the far better designed and made game, with each section and placement of enemy carefully chosen as they made the game and is quite rewarding for all of it the classic 16-bit home console style of action games. If you want something you can really sink your teeth into and find yourself getting better at it via skill, while returning to the design of games from the SEGA Mega Drive days, go for this.
Quacamelee is an easier, more forgiving, fun to go at your own pace game with a few exceptions such as the last boss and some optional challenges. It is of course designed well, but not as tight due to it's more open ended style to allow the idea of "you go where you want" hidden linearity. Of the two games, this is the one more played to be sure.
A lot of people love it's open world to travel and backtrack to for new areas to open up as you gain new abilities. Quite the fun game and one I say go for if you want something in the more modern sense of a 2D side scroller action game with a focus on combo beat-em-up tactics and platforming.
I personally couldn't decide between the two if I had to, o I would flip a coin honestly. Not a bad choice either way.

Congrats Stump.
Dumb question. I'm sitting on $35 of Steam credit. I've got what I wanted so far out of the sale, but I really want Burial at Sea. I'm holding out just buying it along with Broken Sword 5, but I don't want to buy it on the off chance Bioshock DLC goes on sale. I think I might hold out until the sale is over just in case.

High praise for both, leaning towards Volgarr at this point but I might need to dig deep and get both.
Thanks, fellas.
Huh, the listed price threw me off. I'll look there then, thanks.
Finished Marlow Briggs AND THE MASK OF DEATH.
It was an INTERESTING GAME that had ENJOYABLE GAMEPLAY and a great SHLOCK PLOT, with HILARIOUS BANTER and FUN MINIGAMES that CHANGE UP THE PACE. I was GLAD I BOUGHT IT.
(Also, the hardest part of the game

is the end credits. Damn, man, that mask is uncontrolable.
Gay marriage and bot marriage have been legal in Canada since 2005. The former due to just standard changes, the latter due to a desire to get more filming done in Ontario and British Columbia.
You can't however marry a snowman. Especially not 780mm tall Snowman, that's double illegal.

Considering "Metroidvania" means almost jack shit nowadays. I'm wary of posts like this.
No offense.
Be wary all you want.
Drinkbox makes FANTASTIC games. I bought all their games on PC once ported even though I already owned them on PSN... and that would be why I bought 5 copies to give out as gifts when it won the flash sale.
Congrats, Stump!
