I've heard/seen people say this for every sale ever since steam was a thing.
I'm not saying it's true or not though...

Also, guys, this is Day One of the sale
Just because we don't have lots of 75% discounts today doesn't mean we won't have lots of them later

I loved it when I played it. Bought it full price too. Cute little 3d platformer/3rd person combat.

What are the combos and moveset like? Is this game a decent enough substitute in place of Bayonetta (I don't expect better just something like it e.g. fast, fluid and with combos).

Yeah but it's the "check the front page of the store with shiny pictures!" thing I like to doIs there a specific page for "last flash sale batch" in Steam itself or do I need to check on GAF if I miss out on one?
It has "deals expiring soon" under the Wishlist section and the last set of flash deals is there.

Try the last freeware version but in Vista SP2 compatibility mode
Alternatively, joytokey might work?

Thank you so much for the impressions! The .webm's look great. Are those your recordings? Beautifully executed, I gotta say. You've sold me on the game. I'd love to see you on Steam some time. I -think- I added you (jackc1990/MadClacker) I recently did some spring cleaning on my account, got back into the PC gaming scene after a year or so, and am looking to meet some new faces.

The combos are fun and simple, reminds me of Viewtiful Joe; you'll be fine as long as you alternate between weak and strong hits. It scratches that Bayonetta itch, too.
Have you played Breach & Clear? I'm wondering how they compare to each other. I haven't played it myself but I have it already so wondering if it's worth picking up Doorkickers or not too

Better than Korra, as good as or better than Vanquish depending on what you're looking for.

Yes they are, using the hands-off mode. I still haven't tried to play in pausable real time, lol.
And feel free to add me. I haven't received anything tho, so you may want to check again

Sadly I haven't, someday I will solve that. But every time someone who did compared both, Door Kickers got the upper hand.

I'm in pretty much the same position. I haven't played my PS3 copy yet.

Bought! Now I just have to wait forever for it to download.

The game literally plays better at 60 FPS. Way more responsive, which is a must for this type of game

Edit: My bad I'm blind, it's Defense Grid 2.

I don't think it will be discounted this year.

I'll still bite at any sale price now that I've received some new dance pads. I'd just prefer 50%
Ugh. Anyone else know a fix for the metal gear rising 24 hz thing that happens on a tv? Yesterday I could switch it from fullscreen to windowed then back to fullscreen and it would stick at 60hz, but now thats not working
Well, theres two choices really.
1. Set a custom resolution and use that, it seems to fix it for most games. I use 1920x1076
2. Use a program called Fullscreenizer, and run it in windowed mode then use Fullscreenizer to make it Borderless Window Fullscreen.

I bought it for $13-something in Canada bucks. So something a little cheaper for the US I would assume.
Considering that you have a decent PC, the game loads faster, looks better, plays more smoothly and includes all the DLC.

You could try borderless fullscreen mode if there is mod for it.Ugh. Anyone else know a fix for the metal gear rising 24 hz thing that happens on a tv? Yesterday I could switch it from fullscreen to windowed then back to fullscreen and it would stick at 60hz, but now thats not working

It's been on my wishlist for a while. A coworker plays a lot of it and says its amazingly fun. I'm kind of waiting for it to get out of Early Access though...
From what I've watched of him playing it, its like a really nice looking minecraft in space. Build ships, dock them on stations, mine for stuff. etc. Lots of exploring and crafting
Strangely enough, I'm considering Dead Space 2. I didn't like the first that much because it was really repetitive and had dull encounter design, but I hear the second is more dynamic and set piece driven, which is a good thing to me for a game like Dead Space. It's also the only one I don't have of the three games.

lol, fair enough.
But, what I mean is, it has NO sale on it at all. Usually stuff is on sale for some amount off, and during a daily it goes on sale even further discounted. Historically, does stuff go on sale later that started off with no discounts?

I've put it on my wishlist for now. Probably won't be able to play it until summer anyway, and maybe it will come down from $9 to about $5.
I played it non-stop on the free weekend and it got really boring fast. Though that is probably cause I played the heck out of it. The only combat is PVP and soon maybe derelict AI ships.
**Also is there a way to tell which DLC a friend has? One says 40 friends have it and I click only shows two...

Maybe publishers are trying to stop the race to the bottom.
Maybe sales veterans like us already own all the 75% off games and don't notice them anymore.

Seriously it has all the intensity you remember from R6 and the planning is flawless. Everything I wanted Frozen Synapse to feel like without the turn based moves.
