[Freedom = $1.05]

I should stop buying games day one altogether, shouldn't I? I have most games in be mine 17... not to mention that Cat goes Fishing isn't even a week old!
I wanted that game badly enough to buy day one, and that's not really a problem that it is in the bundle, it's that timing is ... I could have waited couple of days easily.

the only times i can justify a day one purchase is with any game that i'll be playing competitively online, because trying to get into a FPS or a fighting game 4-6 months after launch just means you're going to get repeatedly crushed. I don't mind shelling out for it on day one as that's when everyone is on mostly even footing so you're growing and developing alongside the community.

everything else, though? i mean, I can get GTAV now or I can get it 6 months from now and it's going to be the same experience. Might as well hold off and save myself some money, play some of the games in my backlog instead.

I regret buying The Evil Within day one now. It's $20 now.

got it for ~$15 in less than 2 months after its launch. Day one purchases of games almost never benefits the consumer but the publishers sure do love it.

 

[Barbarian]

I regret buying Huniepop day one. Actually I regret buying it period.

 

[Parsnip]

Holy shit registering for RESIDENT EVIL account crap is like the hardest thing in the world

And the reward for solving that puzzle is just pointless stuff like this.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

I regret buying Huniepop day one. Actually I regret buying it period.

What happen?

 

[billmcdougal]

My take is that with the backlog we have, we shouldn't even thing of a day one purchase.
Unless you absolutely, positively want to donate to the developer. Or are JaseC.

Agreed. I like my system (though may not be available outside of US) of renting the big AAA games day-one from Gamefly, while playing all the PC exclusive (or games that are much better on PC) on Steam at greatly reduced prices.

I still don't know how to do that. The game gives you a code, but I don't know where to put it on the website. It was simple enough for RE6 and REV, why did they change it I don't know.

More mahjongshanghai!

The first two were fine hidden object games, so I'll be looking out for this one. What will happen to Sarah Black this time...and more importantly, does her daughter ever get a name?

What's with the random 4:3 screenshot?

That experience bar. She looks plenty experienced, if you ask me, am I right guys?

 

[Atraveller]

I laughed a bit.

It's pretty cool.

 

[Arthea]

OK, here is my resolution: I don't buy games day one except of some new Japanese games that not gonna be in the bundle ever, and to encourage devs.
My sulkiness aside, that bundle is great, worth for Cinders alone, and for Cat goes fishing twice. Not to mention Majestic Nights and the last chapter of Millennium.

New Breach & Clear game (in EA):

Nice, thanks. Breach & Clear may not have been as good or nearly as polished as Door Kickers, but I think I actually had more fun with it. Hopefully they implemented some obvious upgrades into this sequel.

edit - looks like it's quite different from b&c in many ways. hmm. and needs time in the oven, like every early access game.

sorry
I just paid the same coin I got from Knurek. (><)
gifs are from Hero Emblems and my pic is Terra Battle.

Thanks for this! Looks like Terra Battle is free... maybe I'll go get it. Had a fling with IOS a few years ago but staying on top of what is good vs. what is trash and the ever changing pricing and 'free days' was soul stealing, even with apps like appshopper helping. Then I got a vita and was happier spending more money per game than I ever was on IOS.

This is a nice little megaton:



I e-mailed Deck13 about the game about a year ago now, thinking the rights had reverted back to it following DTP filing for bankruptcy in 2012, but was told that they were still in DTP's hands. Looks like D13 finally wrestled them away as the game is self-published.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

any good reason not to bite on Evil Within at 66% ?

They would sell more copies because then it would actually be worth 15$.

I would cringe so hard that I would cease to exist.

 

[Dr Dogg]

I know people who probably watch 4:3 that way and didn't have any problem with pan&scan.

Yeah that's kind of why I did the above. It wasn't until recently, like the last 5 or so years, that a lot of broadcasts and pre recorded TV shows over here switched to a 16:9 format despite 16:9 TV's being sold for getting on 20 years and almost exclusively for 8 years (2007 was about the time retailers dropped them). I know plenty of people, that while mystified that so and so looked a little fatter, were quite happy to have a full screen.

..... Did what?

Effectively just stretch a 4:3 image over a 16:9 display area.

They would sell more copies because then it would actually be worth 15$.

I would cringe so hard that I would cease to exist.

Funnily there's really nothing stopping someone doing that with the game itself by changing the aspect ratio and display area setting in their GPU drivers. Why they would is another matter. That would be as crazy as saying 'look! 21:9 support!'

Without Within is quite a nice VN if super short, I recommend anyone gives it a try, it's very charming.

Germany is pretty much the only country in the world with a retail release of Grey Goo so consider yourself lucky in that regard. Even digitally it isn't available anywhere but Steam and their own site.

I kind of want to play it but not at that price. Another game on the wishlist for next Summer.

I wish I could tell you but I tried to search for it again but I have no idea where I fiend it.

The RE website told me that if you have done it for REV or RE6, you only have to "test connection" from REmaster and it should work. Didn't have to paste any codes.
