Reposting my impressions for "THE LONG DARK".

The Long Dark is cool, but lacks true substance right now. For a survival game where you're constantly toughing the cold, there doesn't seem to be a feeling of imminent danger. It lacks depth. They really need to add something significant to complete the formula they have. Like a crazed killer stalking you, constantly. Or some kind of haunting or evil presence. It is Early Access though.

 

[hohoXD123]

First purchases of the sale, Shovel Knight and STFU. Was tempted to get Nidhogg as well but prefer multiplayer games on PS4.

 

[Brandon F]

how much is the dead rising 2 complete pack? its not available in my region

$14 US for DR2, Off the Record, and all DLC right now.

 

[Ladekabel]

Might get weak for Dragonfall.

would buy Shovel Knight in a heartbeat if I wouldn't plan to buy it on my Wii U when I finished my backlog.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Hmm. This has tipped the scales towards "don't buy yet" for me. Is the game fun?

My take:

I played the first worlds, I don't feel is "easy" as the game offers a nice challange but also has a checkpoint system that other games from the 8 bit era lacked. The good thing is that you can destroy the check points making the game more challenging.

Also, the game is really well designed, even if is not Ninja Gaiden NES difficulty is still a really fun game.

Very fun. Better than most AAA title this year.

Reposting my impressions for "THE LONG DARK".

I don't think a "constant danger" is needed. But I also think hunting for supplies constantly isn't needed either. Maybe their story mode will help because looking at the Sandbox stuff there isn't really "enough" to do right now. If I could hunt/gather things and hold up for a few days off those supplies while only having to be on the lookout for wildlife, it'd be interesting from the Zombie Survival Sim/DayZ-clones and what you want it to do.

 

[Pops Maellard]

The Long Dark looks fascinating. I'm incredibly tempted.

Reviews are complaining about GFWL being a problem, is that still the case?

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

New Vegas twice and no community choice? The fuck?

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Anyone have super time force if so how is it? Was waiting for the PSN release but may just jump in now. (Don't think it's a plus title is it?)

 

[Facism]

Crypt of the Necrodancer and Super Time Force get.

 

[MattyG]

So, I have New Vegas normal edition, and I want to get the ultimate edition, but Steam says I own it even though I don't, and it won't let me buy it. Anyone know a solution to this?

 

[Pyros_Eien]

Hmm can't seem to vote on the next community vote pick, they don't have one for tomorrow?

 

[Sini]

RE: Recettear; Valve typically lets developers know around a month in advance when the Holiday sale is going to start and asks devs to submit their discount tiers at that point. I suspect what happened is that SpaceDrake missed their attempts to contact him (I understand he had some personal stuff going on, so it's understandable). I further suspect that most of Valve has the holiday break off work, so they probably don't provide non-emergency support to developers during this period. My advice to SpaceDrake: if you're going through something, get a surrogate who can handle these kinds of things in the mean time. Either give your account info to your business partners or hire someone for a fixed fee of a few thousand dollars. The lost income from missing this sale is going to eclipse what it would cost to hire someone to do bare-minimum caretaking of your business while you're out of commission. Just an idea.

I know that Valve accepted discounts even on the last two days before sale.

 

[The Shogun]

The Long Dark looks fascinating. I'm incredibly tempted.

I bought it just hoping there's some patches soon that add a lot more to the experience. Its early access and as far as I know the dev's have stated there is going to be a ton more to the game then what is there right now.

I have a big backlog at the moment anyways so by the time I get to it hopefully there will be more content as the overall concept sounds awesome to me.

New Vegas twice and no community choice? The fuck?

The New Vegas without the In Library label turns into Half Life 3 alpha when it hits your library.

 

[BasilZero]

Reviews are complaining about GFWL being a problem, is that still the case?

Gfwl still in but announced to be patched out in a few months by capcom.

 

[besada]

Great, with interesting mechanics, and so goddamn hard you'll want to break a controller.

 

[WanderingWind]

Whoever recommended Shadow Warrior a couple of days ago, I owe you thanks. It's hilarious.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Oh for f**k's sake Valve, let me buy Transistor with a good discount already, I'm waiting for this since Dec 18th goddamnit.

 

[mrgone]

Hmm. This has tipped the scales towards "don't buy yet" for me. Is the game fun?

It definitely gets challenging (and it's fun), I think he's just parodying the Giant Bomb review

 

[DukeBobby]

Shovel Knight
Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut
Shadowrun Returns
Super Time Force Ultra

Decent haul today. Also a good day for games beginning with "s".

 

[SteveWinwood]

I mean shovel knight is easier than like mega man 1 and 2 if that's what you're comparing it to. I don't think I'd normally call it easy. I wouldn't say it's especially hard either.

 

[CecilRousso]

Is there some kind of non-linearity in Shadowrun: Dragonfall, where you can pick and choose between missions, or are they in a set order?

 

[brickarts295]

Hmm, the voting section seems to be missing for me.

 

[legacyzero]

If you dont already own Fallout NV, I feel really bad for you. The game is straight awesome.

 

[AndyMoogle]

No, I genuinely thought it was really easy. Most Mega Man games are way harder.

 

[Volotaire]

Hmm, the voting section seems to be missing for me.

It is.

Tentative next vote set, but it could be wrong, so I'm not updating the main post yet:

• Audiosurf 2
• Invisible Inc
• Ancient Space

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Great, with interesting mechanics, and so goddamn hard you'll want to break a controller.

Ah one of those games huh....hmmmmmm


Also no community vote? The hell?

Edit: ah they appeared....never heard of the titles though what shall I vote for?

 

[arts&crafts]

Big day for me. Got Abyss Odyssey, Super Time and Crypt of Necrodancer!

 

[Ladekabel]

Everyone should buy Fallout: New Vegas. It isn't shown twice for no reason.

Someone who has played Dragonfall, has it permadeath?

 

[Stuggernaut]

Stuck hospital last two days for surgery. Seriously cutting into my gaming time ... Also hope I'm not missing good sales!!

 

[Deadly]

Got both Shadowruns. I already have New Vegas and it's awesome but did you really have to make it count as two deals? :lol

 

[Kinky John]

Voting's back.

 

[chaosblade]

Got FFXIII from SE's store since this is the last day it's on sale and it hasn't been on Steam yet.

Says my key is invalid, and it's not even showing in my order history.

From the horror stories I've heard about their support it sounds like I might be out $6.40.

Well, got it working. Still dumb. Also wat at 60GB.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

And this is why you only buy exclusive stuff on the eShop.

That and the insane prices.

 

[RK9039]

Is there some kind of non-linearity in Shadowrun: Dragonfall, where you can pick and choose between missions, or are they in a set order?

Most of the missions are set in order, but there are side objectives as well.

 

[Bboy AJ]

Vote is missing for me, too.

 

[Sch1sm]

Vote is missing for me, too.

It's up now, AJ. c:

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Oh the other title missing is tropico...ah well gonna grab time force and that'll do. Man this steam sale is lackluster this year.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

One of the fallouts has gone but nothing new is showing.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Anyone want a Blase

Spoiler

420 m8

card?

 

[Talyn]

Is there some kind of non-linearity in Shadowrun: Dragonfall, where you can pick and choose between missions, or are they in a set order?

They're non-linear in Dragonfall except for story missions which do follow a set order.

oh oh i need it! i can give you another 1 or 2 for it

 

[MrPanic]

How's Fallout New Vegas? Never thought that Fallout 3 was that great, is New Vegas better?

 

[RandomSeed]

I picked up both Shadowrun games, and I'll buy Divinity and Wasteland 2 before the sales are over. This is going to be months of RPG goodness like the infinity engine days.

 

[Jeremy]

Abyss Odyssey seems pretty neat but I'm also eyeing STFU and Shovel Knight.

and Game Dev Tycoon.

I'll probably end up with all of them.

 

[Sch1sm]

So I managed to sleep in and miss picking up Dust,

Spoiler

I nearly had it then my transaction didn't go through,

has anyone seen it at the sale price anywhere else?

 

[The Dear Leader]

oh oh i need it! i can give you another 1 or 2 for it

Done and done.
