Super productive night.
Dying Light
Gravity Ghost
Grim Fandango RM
Move or Die
Pix The Cat

Feels good to semi-cross them off the list. Want to try to do a longplay of Grim Fandango Remastered.
It's pretty good so far, but it's not exactly easy to find them. There are trigger areas that pop a notification to start the dev commentary.
I have a short LP going on tomorrow morning that demos all of the additions and what-not.
Runs reasonably well on my i5 Sandy bridge era 3Ghz CPU with R9 290 overclocked 10%. Everything on ultra minus the Nvidia stuffs and 50% render distance. When I crank the render distance up to 100%, I hover around 25~FPS

It is a pretty feel good story.

It truly is an excellent LA Adventure game. And now that it has PnC and the updated lighting/textures it almost feels modern with a pre-rendered 90s rendered feel.
But the voice acting and comedy is top notch. I don't know why but the line that's like, "I just locked an open door, that's something-something symbolic" But how the guy delivers the line, I don't know. It's funny.
I think that's why I like LA games so much. The characters are not really breaking the fourth wall, but they are traipsing around it elegantly.
Played some more of Venetica, made it to a windmill after escaping my village and was greeted by a crash to desktop.
After reloading, doing some battles, completing an event and watching a cutscene, I got control back to my character stuck in the ground.
If there is one thing that can be said about this game, is that it sure is glitchy and somewhat buggy. At least it feels fun so far, and it was relatively cheap.

Man Puyo Puyo Tetris is fun. o: It's too bad Ubi holds the license for the US or Sega could probably publish this on Steam.

Q-Entertainment has sold the Lumines property to Enhance games (Tetsuya Mizuguchi), which is going to make a new one for phones.

I'm not sure what that means for the Steam version, but since it never goes on sale anyway, buy it if you want it I guess?

Listen, you.
You with the opinion I deeply disagree with.
You'll stop having that opinion, won't you?
I'd be so happy I'd buy one and giveaway 10 on release day. And not just regular copies, OST and dlc included.

such an awesome game, i remember playing it as a kid... thank you very much for sharing this!
also, there's a bit of drama going on over Biology Battle

dunno what will happen, but if anyone's interested in this game, you should grab it just to be safe

Damn, Grim Fandango was running at several hundred FPS apparently as I just checked precision and my card is at 60 degrees C!

Nuuvem is amazing. Not only do they already have by far the best price for TW3 but they offer further discounts if you mail them proof that you own the 2 previous games.
Awesome giveaway! One of the classic P&C adventure types I never played when I was younger. Will definitely be hoping to pick this up at some point.
i think ost alone on steam would be instabuy
SIX THOUSAND, TWO HUNDRED WORDS.
AND IT'S NOT EVEN REALLY TUESDAY YET.
Suffice it to say, my week's been pretty busy. Published that Pre-Sequel review on Steam, Kotaku's publishing a piece I've got tomorrow, and possibly this one I just submitted on Friday, AND I blogged about the core of a good shooter.
Now to go write about Wolfenstein and Thief: The Dark Project.

EDIT: I would do filthy things for a copy of that game wot ya'll are talking about. I've never played a "classic" adventure game before, and I hear it's a good one.
EDIT 2: Dying Light has an FOV slider and it's SUPER SMOOTH SO FAR

Lair was actually decent with the update that allowed players to use the analog sticks instead of motion control.

GAF spends $5,500 for... nothing in Project Eternity? http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=719745
despite shagg's best efforts, the project didn't had all that much support
i put like $5 so didn't feel like i should have a say in it
but yea neogaf spent that money making project eternity possible, so fuck it, i'm saying #worth
wait... so Indiegala lies? It says you get WORDS FOR EVIL steam key if you buy a bundle, I thought it was extra, but it's just a key for this game in the bundle, talk about misleading.
meanwhile in Alphadia Genesis, I still can't beat last bosses of Arena, being near the end of a game and all that... still no chances, this game is mean. I can return later and I probably will, although I begin to suspect that I might not get 100% completion as I hoped and tried to achieve. We'll see soon enough

Oh god forget it then.
Have we passed from the age where everyone copied CoD to everyone coping AC? Cos I think this is worse.
These posts are so sad
not really, just as bad.
I wish I could understand why AssCreed is so popular and embrace it,
I wished the same with CoD or GTA or the Elder Scrolls (><)
nah, not really, but seriously, it makes no sense, no sense at all

Does this mean JaseC will play Dying Light?
I think what's bad is getting a uniform market where most AAA games are similar, I'd prefer a market where there's a huge variety of AAA genres.
IndieGala is offering a DRM free version of Words for Evil, input your email and they will send a link to the download page. Purchasing the bundle gets you a Steam key for the game.
AssCreed feels to me like a direct evolution of Rare N64 platform titles.
You know, Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64, etc.
Ubi just added some nonsensical, easily skipable story bits. They well know everyone is just playing their games for the ability to collect doodads.
As expected, there's already a PC performance thread (it went up ahead of the game being unlocked, even), so I probably won't bother with the game at all.
Have you played around with Toxikk? I kinda want an arena shooter.
the game is in the bundle, so the steam key is not free, it's in the bundle you buy, that's why I said this is misleading as they make it sound that you can get an extra steam key, at least that's how I understood it: if you opt for a free game and buy a bundle.
I don't think BK or DK were that popular, tho and that's what I can't comprehend. I understand people liking all kinds of games, even AssCreed or CoD, just that overwhelming popularity makes no sense to me.

NASCAR '14 is on sale for $7.99 (80% off) at Amazon
It has been pulled from Steam because Eutechnyx sold the license to a mysterious new developer DMi Games, which is under the decidedly all-business HC2 Holdings. While Ed Martin seems to have been decently enough involved with the franchise to handle it well, one cannot be too sure if this is a good or a bad thing for it, and $8 for the confirmed-decent one isn't bad, especially since the product of the new company will be '16, with '15 just being a patch for '14.
That said, a game developer based in Charlotte, North Carolina might be better at capturing the NASCAR je ne sais quoi better than one based in Dunston, Gateshead.

I think you misread the text. But I have an extra Words for Evil key if you need another one.
Well shit I'm about to go all binarypork/X05 quote wall on the thread. Don't kill me
Yeah, yeah, now where's the rest of your desktops?
Well at least the I can complain about awkward controls after CDPR put in pretty good controller support.
While Convoy might be the quintessential 'trucker' film I don't think I've ever paid attention the whole way through when it been on due to being bored stupid. Defiantly needed something to add a bit more suspense or drama like Duel or christ even Smokey and the Bandit did. Or maybe what we really need is a gaming rendition of...
Probably not but some folks are 'Ultra or Death!'. When 2 came out it could punish any PC on the market (which in my eyes is a good thing) but even before the Enhanced Edition update could scale down very, very well. But hey some people see 30fps and go bat shit bananas and thing CDPR have one and gimped the game when that's far, far from the truth.
I'm doing the stupid 'buy no more games this year' thing. I'll crumble eventually but it's no. 2 on my wishlist.
While Nier may have some horrible looking visuals it still has a cracking soundtrack, engaging story and probably one of the best uses of New Game Plus I've seen. Still need to grab the DLC at some point but I wouldn't say no to a Steamy version, not like it's ever happening.
Wait, since when is Prey redeemable on Steam?
FAKE EDIT: oh shit, it really is.
