So its basically a full football Sim? Would that be accurate?

All unknown players and made up stats or real world info?
Click to expand...

Its incredibly deep, although you obviously don't actively play the matches themselves of course!

All the real players/stats are there, outside a few license based issues. But you can get around those easily and include packs for the real images/competition names. I'm fairly sure there's still the option to make everything completely random to make life a little more difficult too.

The one I'm talking about is at the very start of the game. If you've played more than twenty minutes you should've passed it aleady.
Click to expand...

Then I probably passed it. Though there was one scene that happened that I still don't understand.
I dropped off an edge into an area where Alma appeared with a ton of fire everywhere, and died a couple times before making it through, without figuring out how I made it past her alive.
Is that it? I played it like 5 years ago, so I'm really hazy on most details.

So Ducktales on hard is genuinely hard.

It's pissing me off but it feels soooooooo gooooooood.

I'm playing games during the sale

Have to check it out more now.


To say I'm not intrigued would be a lie. Gonna go look for some video footage. Thanks for the info!

There's a 6 month in game demo available to try out beforehand too. And saves from that can be transferred to the full game. Well worth a shot and gives you access to pretty much everything for 6 in game months which can last hours!

Been playing the series ever since the early 90s - even briefly worked at the development studio - so its a subject I know a fair amount about!

Was hoping for King Arthur's Gold to win because Guacamelee might become a daily deal anyways... Well, time to get cheap Guacamelee :D

Is Miner Dig Deep a copy of Spelunky? They look similar from screencaps.
Click to expand...

Nope, it's one of those mining games where you dig further and further down, bringing resources up to the top, while having to mind your tools and other perils. I remember enjoying it at the time I played it.

I really want to buy the dayz game,
But to fork 30$ at my current situation is quite hard :(
I wonder if anybody knows that if it may goes on sale??

Guessing at it still being alpha the chances are quite slim though I reckon T_T

Was hoping to play it through christmas and new year this year since I'm alone this year haha

I'm talking about the start of F.E.A.R. 2, looks like you're talking about the first here. As befitting a situation where you're surrounded by fire and creepy dead girls, you just run towards the end of the hallway.
The Point Man will jump through the window as the fire catches up to him.

I'm afraid to get ducktales or mickey fantasy cocain castel or whatever because i'm afraid the jump physics and hitbox and or boxes used for your character model and ledges will feel "off" as it does in so many remakes. People need to stop trying to fuck with the basic "feeling" of the game if they want to upgrade the graphics.

I don't see it going on sale anytime soon, it's been #1 during the entire sale and it's full price so they have no reason to discount it.

In fact the devs already said it's gonna go up in price as they reach milestones.

Thanks for the giveaway, but giving away Doc Clock is cruel for the unaware. That game is almost Bad Rats level of bad. It's a physics puzzle platformer with terrible physics. I had to play through a chunk off it for my Golden Potato, and it was a miserable experience as the game dragged on and on.

I'm trying to play some Bioshock Infinite but Steam is giving me a warning about being another computer and my progress may not be saved because it's not synced with the cloud.

Should I not risk it? I don't wanna lose my progress.

Usually, the safe bet is to trust your local save.

It's really annoying Pac-Man's eaten up (ha ha) a Flash Sale slot for 8 hours, without actually going on further sale. If Namco blocked Valve from lowering it last-second, they should've yanked it from the slot; it doesn't deserve the extra advertising in that case.

I played it a while back when it was a xbox indies title, enjoyable little mining game though unsure how long before you might get bored with it though.

Almost bought KR0 until I realized it's been a while since the 1st and 2nd act was released...what the hell.
Click to expand...
Third act is inbound soon™. They broke radio silence over a week ago to say the following
Act III is getting close, and we're excited to share it with you. We've been avoiding announcing release dates in public, but at this point we're going down the checklist of remaining content and the end is in sight. We appreciate your patience & support, since we know this is taking some time and we know that in videogames at large there's often more clear communication about release dates (though of course delays are common). We're always putting in long hours on this project, and we hope we've demonstrated that you can trust the time goes to making the rest of the game really special.

On the Steam store page:
The game is split into five acts, of which the first is available now. Taken as a whole, the Kentucky Route Zero is roughly the length of a summer night. Act I is available now. Act I and II are available now. The remaining three acts will be released over the coming year.
Click to expand...
They have less than a week to release 3 more acts :lol:
