Ah I see. I bought the PC version at release and finished it and never got around to replaying it, so I guess that was all pre-nerf.

Quest for Infamy is worth it for $2.

Bought Ys I & II Chronicles+ to mostly empty my Steam wallet. (a few cent left..)
Lets see how it compares to the other two Ys games.

thank you Grief - you are a lifesaver
please carry on your crusade of getting the games on Steam (and be gone with GFWL)
can't wait for more 1080p60 goodness thanks to the games being on PC
Meh @ the 30 base price.
No brainer buy for 2.50, might think about it for 3.75, but 8? Forgetaboutit...
I'm still waiting for client-side chat logs.

Chronicles was my entry into the series so the slightly archaic design didn't bother me, but if you have already played others it may bother you. Combat system is... interesting.

Is there a console game equivalent to IsThereAnyDeal.com? That site has been such an amazing crutch for me on the PC side and it would be handy to have something like that for the console exclusives I want to pick up at specific price points.
You should always remember when playing Ys Chronicles that they are 1987 games.
As old as Mega Man, Contra, Maniac Mansion, Final Fantasy and Dungeon Master.
(And way more playable than any game from that list, maybe with the exception of FF)
Yes absolutely.
I played them in 2013 and I liked both 1 and 2 so much they are now among my favorite games of all time.
I bought a Vita partly to play Memories of Celceta.

Memories of Celceta was the shit.
I couldn't put it down when I played it.
Hope the rumor of that hitting pc happens.
Only Ys game I have played though. Don't think I'll ever bother with 1&2. Felghana and Orgins I'll probably get around to.

I did it a few days ago. Those 2 exact games. Now I'm thinking about getting Batman and MK.

Man, my no buying games during 2015 is starting to suck, missing out on that RE:HD action.
Had this idea and quickly gave up when I realized what was coming out like I do every year. I'll just try to cut back a bit. Already have on pc bundles.
Survarium is looking good.

Nuuvem not deliver I take it?
2015 is looking to be too good to drop buying games entirely. Good luck.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Cheapassgamer.com would be my first guess. They have a wishlist/watchlist deal as well.
History strongly suggests that Batman will be bundled with Nvidia GPUs.

Ops. Must have missed that. Yeah, in that aspect it makes a lot of sense. Maybe my inner desire for a steamboy got a hold of me too much so I instinctively thought about sth else, haha.
I am not in the know regarding headphones or audio stuff in general, so thanks for this information. I would have thought 5.1 headphones to be automatically the better choice. Still playing on my Philip SBC HP200 cheap headphones. I like the base it gives.
No kidding. Don't know whether it's because got my wings stubbed by Demon's Souls or Dark Souls being actually easier to get into but I have a much, much easier and enjoyable time with Dark Souls. The beginning was nice and easy and till now I didn't have to put hours into souls farming unlike Demon's Souls.
I like it this way.
Very nice! Congrats and have fun man. Living the dream. It's my wish/future plan as well to make a degree in the future.
Oof. So many souls :O
Idk, I didn't fell even once. The trick is to take enemies out one by one either by surprise or luring them in via arrow.
Those fat ugly flies are also waaaay less dangerous than they look.

I do wanna wait for Nuuvem but at the same time this offer is inticing T.T
When do Nuuvem usually get keys for upcoming games, or rather offer them for sale? On release date?
I need this in my life.
Hopefully they get the f2p balance done right, I'd hate for it to turn out good but crippled by pay to win mechanics.

Is there a way to stop steam group notifications to show up during gameplay?
You guys are right... I would be doing myself a disservice by denying good games... so skip out on bundles thats just +1 games?
Jawmuncher

Yep. I looked back and realized 95% of the bundlesI bough I haven't even played. Im sure that's th case for a lot of people here. I don't even buy 1 dollar tier stuff now if I'm not gonna play it.

Do this. Focus your energy on games that look good instead.

I'm going to repost this because it looks so good:
The Next Penelope looks like the next game to watch. It's hitting Early Access on the 22nd, but will have all the solo content in the game from the jump. This video pretty much sold me on it.
Steam Link and Website
Try now. A depot was replaced about a minute ago.
The only way is to turn off the Steam Overlay entirely in settings.
Just be more selective about what games you do purchase. You really don't need to add, or play for that matter, those hundreds of bundled games.
The only games I purchased during the Steam winter sale, other than those titles with tenuious licencing, were MGSV, Wolfenstein, and The Long Dark. I've beaten the former two, and will be starting on The Long Dark very shortly.
Man, my no buying games during 2015 is starting to suck, missing out on that RE:HD action.
I was debating doing that but seeing as I already have The Witcher III and Pillars of Eternity bought and paid for I though I my as well give myself a little leeway and have 5 'Wildcards' to kind of keep me on the straight and narrow and keep the year a little fresh so not to do the old Steam Library Shuffle of dithering on what to play next. Though picking a further 3 out of GTA V, Resident Evil: RE-Remake, Ass Creed Rogue, Ass Creed Victory, FFXIII Lightning Returns, Batman Arkham Knight, MGS V: TPP, Majora's Mask and The New Zelda requires much, much more resilience than I think I have. Still I'm doing good so far... only 12 days in to the year
Doh...and I'm actually buying GPUs around the May timeframe. Maybe they will bundle MKX as well.
I put this on my favorites a few days ago. It's like a Racer / Shmup hybrid. I want it pretty bad.

I forgot that I'll end up buying MKX on PC now. Since there's no console exclusive characters.

I'm limiting myself to two games a month this year (really started in December with MGS: GZ and Captain Toad) and I set up a spreadsheet to help me keep track of what I want to buy, what I've purchased each month and whether or not I've finished each purchase. I already picked up Life is Strange (love Dontnod/female protag) and REmake HD (great price-point/Capcom test) for January. GTA5 got pushed it's slot to a February one and it will probably be delayed out of January by Rockstar anyways.
If it's not shitty F2P spacebux, you only get to pick one game with Nvidia tho
Unless you buy two... but I'm lpoking at only building mini itx or micro atx. So it's only going to be one or the other.
The safe bet is to go with MKX now and Batman later with the GPU.

I just realized the last Kickstarter game I backed was Mighty No. 9, and that was in 2013.

I just got around to playing REVOLVER360 RE:ACTOR today.
This game is legit, you guys.
I have an odd relationship with shmups because I'm not that great at them. I don't always manage to complete all of the highest regarded ones. The best just feel awesome to play, though.
This game has a silly name but the triggers (if on a controller) rotate the screen around the action. This lets you turn a screen full of bullets into a single line and then use a laser to blast the bullets apart for points. It sounds like a gimmick but it's a lot of fun and provides a really interesting challenge and a one of the most fun and unique scoring systems I've seen.
The rotation mechanic is also important because you auto-kill items and enemies that are in the background, which you can only see/target if you are rotated a certain way. There are sections where you have to keep your screen facing "forward" to destroy obstacles in the way, while balancing the need to rotate to survive enemy shots.
I think there may be 4 levels with bosses. I'm not sure because I have only managed to beat the stage 3 boss in the single mission mode. I'm definitely going back though, and I recommend it strongly to shmupGAF.
p.s. I swear I'll try Crimzon Clover next.

A little over a week until WB's window to oppose Night Dive's NOLF trademarks is up. I can't imagine that WB will have much luck getting another extension -- come the final day it'll have had three months to get its stuff together, so surely at this point it has to either put up or shut up.
Case in point for quality vsync implementations is Wolfenstein. I couldn't get borderless windowed to function properly on that title and had to use their default vsync, it was so bad at times I thought I was running the game at <60 FPS.
The last three games I have played have all had some type of borderless windowed option, Dark Souls, Shadow of Mordor, and MGSV and have all been very smooth. Which is probably the reason I noticed just how bumpy Wolfenstein's implementation ended up being.
With that said, I am very much eyeing some of the 1440p IPS panels out of CES with 120/144 Hz and Gsync/Freesync.
Fingers crossed.

I wonder who would have the right to trespasser Jurassic park? That was by dream works interactive. Seems like something anyone could ask universal now to release it.
Maybe I should skip Dino Crisis 1&2 and go right to Dino Crisis 3 right?
This is true, and luckily I have a high tolerance for games from that period(childhood), so this one was easy to adjust to. The visual/aural bump in Chronicles+ brings it more in line with the SNES/PSOne era of action RPGs. They're very much worth a playthrough -- so damn charming, with a fantastic soundtrack.

You should. Unless they do a separate discount, which I'm iffy about, the BR prices for those two games aren't really different from GMG's VIP pricing.
Resident Evil will be 40 reals and Life is Strange Complete will be 33.3 reals. With direct conversion rates, that's $15.02 and $12.50 respectively but since Paypal always use favorable rates, I expect it will be very close to the total GMG price of $28.84 for the both.
