Waiting for VIP deals was a good idea, I can use my GMG credit to buy Resident Evil HD Remaster
I had a feeling that they weren't doing so hot. They kind of went for the more mainstream audience with DiRT Showdown and GRID 2, and lost a bit of favor with their core audience, and I'm not sure they managed to capture the NFS audience.
They tried to amend things with GRID Autosport, but the quality of the assets were kind of lacking. The cockpit view looked like hot garbage.
And now they're competing with hot new IPs like PCARS and Assetto Corsa, which seem to deliver far more impressive cockpit views.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Who would have thought giving away every one of your games in easily exploitable online giveaways would be a bad idea?
This is the first time I've seen this:
I thought Steam's rules were that an English version that ran on Windows was the minimum requirement for a game to be sold.
Game looks kind of interesting -- like a Japanese version of the Spiderweb Software games (Exile, Avernum, Avadon, etc).

Sunless Sea will be leaving Early Access on February 6.
I've played it here and there as it updated and it's pretty fun... it's a slower paced exploration/survival(?) game mixed with a text adventure.... it's very atmospheric. Been holding off until the map and stories were done.. looking forward to it!
If you have bought it in EA you are guaranteed to receive all expansions and story DLC for free, but the only one planned for sure right now is the submarine expansion that was a kickstarter goal.

Codes don't seem to be working with VIP games, at least with RE. I'll wait to see Nuuven's price.
There's some Russian strategy game as well that doesn't support English.

The art style is a total departure from the original and the whole Bit.Trip series, I don't know what they were thinking. And the insistent narration and the many screens and menus you have to skip to jump in the game every time you fire it up is very annoying.

Both RE:HD and Life Is Strange are very tempting at GMG but I'll wait a bit more
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Everyone trying to get chests to sell for ridiculous amounts on the first day of them dropping. Some people were getting $20+ last night
because the %25 discount code is already used on those game
the VIP offer is there if you want to use your credits with the discount

I'd be content if they just put all tracks/cars from Dirt 1-3 into the latest revision of the engine and with Dirt 3's lobby system.

Sometimes codes work even within the VIP section. I've done it before. I was trying to use a 22% code I got in the mail a few days ago but it doesn't work, it did work for me on other occasions though.

They've actually never had such a rule. For a long time, stuff that was visible on Steampowered required English support, but that rule seems to have gone by the wayside as of the Chinese-only language KOEI / Romance of the Three Kingdoms stuff last summer. Looks like they've now generalized that policy and we're now getting more releases in that vein.
YES YES. Beat Shovel Knight. I finally got through the first phase of the final fight and beat the second phase fairly easy afterwards. Very fun and satisfying game. The elvel design was superb. I didn't need any dumb tutorials, everything was possible to grasp and understand just by playing. The graphics and animations were also very lovely.
I can't wait until they release the DLC. I also feel a bit ashamed now that I waited for the sale instead of buying it right away. This game is certainly worth every cent of the full price.

I find the gating of level progression in FF13 to be super lame. I have a shitton of CP left and nothing to spend it on.
Let me overlevel dammit.
Looks interesting. Will wait for sale now.

Don't forget the superb soundtrack!
Already ordered RE:HD yesterday, I might just dump all of my credit into Life is Strange then.
Edit: Grim Fandango does come out on the 27th though...

Since Codemasters has been teetering on collapse for a long time--and are now down essentially to just their core racing team, which is now being hit by layoffs--and almost all of their games have some sort of external license or another... it might be useful to make a list of all their games just in case some get pulled in the event of total corporate collapse
This should be a list:
http://store.steampowered.com/searc...SC&category1=998&publisher=Codemasters&page=1
Colin McRae Rally $6.99
Damnation $9.99
DiRT 3 $24.99

F1 2013 $29.99
F1 2014 $49.99
F1 RACE STARS $14.99
GRID 2 $29.99
GRID Autosport $39.99

Rise of the Argonauts $9.99
Toybox Turbos $14.99

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Just save it for your next Crystarium Level unlock. I had this happen a few times, had a ton of CP left over, and thought to myself "Damn, when the next level unlocks my guys are going to be SET!". Then I'd unlock the next level and get like 2 new ability crystals unlocked.
The same is true for the level 10 unlock after the final boss. Took me probably 10 hours to get enough CP to fully upgrade some people's job classes, and that's with having some characters I never used having 999,999 CP at that point.
Well, of course, silly me. The soundtrack was super mega awesome too. My favorites are A Cool Reception and Of Devious Machinations, really got me going.

That's unfortunate. Are there any other rythm games you would recommend? I'm not going to play them straight away as i like to switch between genres but adding a few names to my list would be nice
Free DLC for everyone! In fact, its more like major updates with new game modes. It is regarding the stretch goals, where people wanted to have playable Plague Knight, Spectre Knight and King Knight. The team didn't just wanted a reskin, but a whole new gameplay. So the new Knights will have entirely new gameplay and story.Never knew that there was DLC.
Really looking forward to it.

Fuck just bought life is strange ane RE HD yesterday, can we put the 22% off on top of it?
GMG Credit? I haven't used much of my credit, got around 36
Buying games from GMG is hard nowadays. There seems to be lesser interesting games to buy from them
More leftover games from previous bundles

I haven't played many rhythm games, so my sample size to recommend from is small. I do like Bit.Trip FLUX, BEAT, and CORE (in that order, although I read the Steam ports have control issues), and I liked what little I played of RETRO/Grade.
My favorite rhythm game is probably Elite Beat Agents on the DS.
Yeah that's a shame. Never played 2 when it came out because I didn't trust the new developer (Obsidian) and the game got a bit worse reviews than the original. I want to play it now though, but they're gonna have to discount it more than that
The game is 9 years old now.
