STEAM | January 2015 - Steam GOTY results: Delayed

Yes.
Pretty much. I've spent most of my time coding in labs with no windows.
I had a job in a basement that had no cell phone reception, no natural light or windows and required me to go through 4-5 doors to get to the outside world, some locked by keycard and some by combination. I was not working on security stuff or anything, this was just a case of dumping the nerds in the dungeon for no good reason.
Having been on both sides of the process, very much so. As an artist I'm told to be creative, have energy, make it a fun atmosphere (told, not always allowed), and be surrounded by artwork (none of those apply during crunch time). As a coder, I was given a spartan environment where those above me wanted no distractions getting in the way of me typing out the code required, save for the occasional release to remind myself that I am human and there exists a sun (unless it's crunch time).
Wow. I always thought those were myths or only true way back in the past. Wish you the best guys.
Think of it as us buying the first round for you. As a thank you.
Haha, they can't be serious with that. That is truly something.
 
It seems L4D is for people owing Evolve Alpha.
Anyway, no free game here (I have Evolve Big Alpha).

I was going to be disappointed, as I had the Evolve Alpha and the actual game (but no L4D).

For some reason I was expecting it to be in my Inventory, but it actually just got added to my Games list. That Evolve price glitch is the gift that keeps on giving -- even if Evolve ends up sucking, I still get L4D!

TITS is going for $8 for the PSP/Vita. Even though i have it through my bro's steam account, i'm considering getting it on the Vita for the suspend/resume stuff (which made FFX so much more bearable).

How does this game handle saves? can you save at any point? are the battles real long? I don;t like it when RPGs force me to play for hours at a time because i haven't found a save point in a while.

When playing a game, pressing the PS Vita button to exit the game and go to the bubbles pages will suspend the game.
The Vita doesn't use up a lot of battery when PSP or PSX games are suspended so that kinda works like a 1 time quick save?

yeah, i know. I guess i should've clarified that i was wondering how the Steam version handled saves.

I don't know about artists in the living room but we've certainly got a better section in the office that the IT folks. Saying that the only position I've every got a pat on the back and a job well done was when working in sales. A position that required no formal training, vocation let alone academic qualifications but hey if you're visibly and measurably making your employer money you can see why they cherish you over other staff.

naw his tag is linked to a picture that doesn't show up. Dropbox is blocked at my work.

What the? That would signal the apocalypse at my work if Dropbox or any cloud based service was blocked. Doesn't help our FTP servers are like something out of the 90's.

My Let's Play of Gunslugs 2:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs3fNmku084


A distilled version of Metal Slug with the unique styling of Orange Pixels' decidedly own take. While the action-arcade gameplay is refined to it's core, the pacing of the game demands fast and frantic. If you don't travel at it's intended sequence, the game can get a little dull. Just go right.​

My Let's Play of Squirreltopia:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM5WSYorFUs


A hardcore 2D Platformer. I prefer Super Meatboy in almost all respects but it definitely has it's own mechanics in which the levels have been modeled against. Essentially, you need to build up inertia before attempting to cross any chasms, otherwise if you don't you'll most likely just plummet to your death. And naturally, the game is punctuated with many different platforms that demand you to slow down. Narrow platforms, exploding platforms, disappearing platforms.

It's fun and it has bosses! I don't know how many or even if the boss can be killed because I ragequit at the end of the first set of levels XD.​

Really like the art style of the first one quoted defo one to watch for me.

Squirrel looks so much 'fun' lol. I can see why the rq.

Oh you got lucky. I only got one. It should be uncensored when it doesn't have a (DE) after the name.

I assume it's because he bought another package that gives Left 4 Dead as a gift.

If you have two packages that give gift copy of same game, you will always receive both, because Valve doesn't bother to fix it.

Wasn't reading you guys for the few days so maybe old info but anyway showing you this one. Looks like it's new trend or something because google searches are only with the recent posts.

Technically it was already funded before the campaign. This is for extra stuff and making it better. I think D:OS had a similar campaign.

Correct. Divinity's KS was for polish and improvements to an already in-development game.

Without the Kickstarter Divinity: Original Sin would be a completely different, and most likely lesser, game.
 
I just tried Crimzon Clover on Novice again and it was a lot more fun after the first level. Wow.

I think I used two continues, and one was literally a second or two before beating the last boss :(

It really is one of the greatest shmups I've played. Break mode is a satisfying mechanic, and the bullet patterns are well done, with modes for both experts and me.

I think I'll try Boost mode soon.
 
Mh. Makes more sense then. But couldn't they just make it EA then?

I don't think Early Access is the best idea for story-based RPGs.

Yeah, Divinity did it, but that was to iron out the bugs in their massively open combat engine more than anything. I doubt Shadowrun would have similar needs.
 
Jesus christ Evil Within is nervewrecking on so many levels. The constant threat of everything really gets to your nerves, but luckily there are some action bits in between too. I am up to chapter 14, and I am just wondering why the crap isn't this on everyone's GOTY list.

Also #teamblackbars

Is getting a Tag really that important and desired by folks?

Please post lists of Tags you would like to have for yourself!

Sorry Turfster :)

My tag is kinda bad, but still, a tag > no tag

Why Rockstar? :( I was kind of looking forward to playing some GTAV around my birthday, I'm pretty impressed with the specs, they seem promising, but the DRM shit's got me a little worried, might wait a week or so after launch to see what the deal is with that. I guess I'll spend my money on Dragon Age or Far Cry 4 or something, I've been craving a big game to sink a bunch of time into.
