So the general consensus is that my current copy of Shadow Run Returns is essentially a coaster that I shouldn't even bother playing and I should invest in the sequel instead?

Yucky feeling, I really was looking forward to getting to SR.

Shamelessly quoting myself from the steam thread 23 mins ago:

So, I just finished Shadowrun: Returns and my god.. This game was great! While the gameplay was kinda lacking and the story was split into two seperate parts, it was one of the most memorable experiences in my recent gaming memory. Characters are great and the overall atmosphere really caught me, all without voice acting, pretty animations or fancy 3D graphics. I don't know when I last said that about a game Just bought Shadowrun: Dragonfall and I really hope it keeps up this oldschool approach to RPGs

Who said that...I enjoyed it like I said earlier and I think its like really cheap now so why not...? of course Dragonfall is better but Returns is good also.

I personally loved the base game. Sure, there are some areas where it could've been improved, and apparently not all classes were created equal (I only played through once so I can't vouch for that one), but overall it was an immensely enjoyable game. I just bought Dragonfall as well, and I'm looking forward to more SR in general. The fact that it's widely considered to be better than the base game makes me thoroughly excited, as I've already fallen in love with the supposedly inferior product.

Just a heads up for people to be careful out there. I have to reinstall windows/etc now after clicking this phish url. I should have known better but I assume it was safe considering it ended with jpg. It was from a friend on my friends list too. It looks like this.

Yep had a similar one happen to me yesterday, I assumed it was something malware related so I searched the link and found various Steam support results about it.

 

[sora87]

I really wanted Shovel Knight on my Wii U but couldn't resist that price, oh wellz.
Also picked up Super Time Force Ultra, Ultra Street Fighter 4, Papers Please, Shadow Warrior and Astebreed.

I'm trying to remember who from GAF on my friend list was doing this as well, but it was a googledocs link. I should've kept a screenshot before blocking and deleting them.

After The Walking Dead and now Shadowrun Returns, I want to say a PC game without the ability to remap keys is a fucking failure.

 

[sixamp]

I have shadowrun returns should get shadow run dragonfall dc ?

Keys? Real Shadowrun Returns players use a touchscreen.

 

[subtleglitch]

Hmm Shovel Knight is finally on special for $10...don't know whether to take the plunge, or wait till the encore...

 

[RelentlessRolento]

I've heard good about dragonfall n wondering same?

 

[Valkerionseven]

Finally pulled the trigger on Shovel Knight. The sale coupled with seeing it on so many Game of the Year lists made it a no-brainer. Really enjoying it so far, one of those games where once you start playing it you don't want to stop. I know this isn't news to 99% of people, but yeah, that game's alright.

Been wondering about this too. Might jump on it.

 

[Panda Rin]

Sorta pissed I passed on Endless Legend (twice, actually...). Looks really intriguing..

Old World Blues for NV? I'm not looking to spend too much on DLC.

Yeah, download window came up for a file with a weird extension at the end. I didnt download it but I would rather be safe than sorry. Also it helps to set your browser setting to ask where to download files before downloading

Why do you have to reinstall windows if you didn't actually download anything?

OK, I'll keep touching it until something moves.

...uhhhh

 

[ChoklitReign]

What's the difference between Don't Starve and the Long Dark? They sound like exactly the same game except one has snow.

Recettear is now $6.79 (66% off) and so are the other Carpe Fulgur titles.

Long Dark is a realistic survival game that uses a 3D engine and Don't Starve is a top-down survival game with a Tim Burton aesthetic.

 

[injurai]

has alien isolation gone on sale yet?

Yes. It's also 50% off on GMG (along with a 20% off coupon).

Surgeon simulator keeps showing at $10 in my basket. Is anyone else getting that error?

Workshop! You have access to an dozen amazing fan-made games. Wasn't someone working on a remake of the original SNES game?

What's the difference between Don't Starve and the Long Dark? They sound like exactly the same game except one has snow.

I'm not very well-versed in either, but from what I understand they are two very different games in the same genre. Don't Starve is a top-down survival game set in another realm full of really weird stuff like sentient Pigmen, giant monsters, and Grues. It's a very difficult game, with almost all wildlife trying to kill you. There are different characters you can unlock to play as, and each one has their own special perks. Don't Starve is a finished game, and there's an expansion pack to add in co-op.

The Long Dark is a first-person survival game set in the snowy wilderness. I think it's set in Alaska or Canada. Anyway, it has a very hefty focus on realism with no real fantastical elements to speak of. The focus on realism means you can freeze to death, starve to death, get eaten alive by wolves, yada yada yada. From what I've seen, it seems the environment is a much bigger threat in The Long Dark than it is in Don't Starve. You'll be able to play as different characters eventually, but I'm not sure if each one with have special bonuses. The Long Dark is in early access, and the developers have no intention of adding multiplayer.

 

[His Majesty]

Someone sell me on Lords of Xulima.

Durante likes it last I checked.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I was lucky enough to be gifted Age of Wonders III... holy hell, I'm not sure I'll need another game. Someone has made a Warhammer Fantasy mod, and there's a Middle-Earth mod in the works too. Nice.

Starpoint Gemini 2 any good?

I was actually wondering this myself.

 

[FallingEdge]

asked in the hidden deals thread but any good Mega Man style games? Itching to play one of those.

Besides Shovel Knight?

I heard that Gunman Clive is really good. Also it's made by a fellow Gaffer.

 

[Panda Rin]

I went to go buy NV's DLC, and I somehow already purchased them before...what the heck.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

You don't. Some people are just paranoid.

All this Shovel Knight talk since the sale went live is making me wanna play it again.

Keep in mind they also lie.

Can you give away games on GoG that you haven't installed yet? I just realized I duplicated some games in my steam inventory, so I guess I'll just do a giveaway for those.

I've seen a lot of Witcher GOG codes given away through ModBot, so I assume yes.

 

[FallingEdge]

yes, besides, Shovel Knight

I heard that Gunman Clive is really good. Also it's made by a fellow Gaffer.

I will take a look.

 

[Dick Justice]

Does anyone else get white pixel lines at the edge of their monitor when playing State of Decay? They're especially pronounced when using sweetfx.

Can anyone answer this, please? Windowed mode causes worse performance (and microstutter unless I disable aero).

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Well, I'd like to pick up Crusader Kings II, but I keep hearing that it's kind of gimped without the $20 DLC. Decisions, decisions.

 

[Harusame]

I need some opinions. Recettear is currently 66% off and is now $7.47 CDN. Should I buy it now or wait for a possible flash sale? I am also thinking of purchasing the Carpe Fulgur collection which includes Recettear, Fortune Summoners & Chantelise, and is going for $18.68 CDN.
