Shadowrun: HK is a fucking awesome game that is only slightly less awesome than Shadowrun: Dragonfall. Both are amazing, but getting SR:HK for this BTA price? DAYUM SON. Insane deal.

Boo, seems The Monthly bundle 10% discount doesn't apply for those that had subbed and unsubbed from the offer before :/
However though I like this
After your initial payment of $12.00, you won't be charged again until your plan renews on February 23rd, 2017 when you will be charged $12.
 
Birthday giveaway with some decent older stuff and the newly crowned GOTY. It's free for all so enter for more than one. If I messed up a key or something let me know by PM and I'll sort it out.

Good luck.

Bit Blaster XL, which I happened to have on my wishlist, so yay for that.

And Refunct, which is a piece of garbage that I bought on SteamGAF's recommendation during the fall sale, beat it in about 15 minutes, and promptly returned it.

Refunct is absolutely not garbage. It's definitely short though, but it's really fun for the tiny bit you do play.

It's an NES inspired Metroidvania (we need a better name for this) releasing on February 2nd. It's looking good.

Metroidvania= Action Adventure*
*with emphasis on exploration and backtracking

the * is optional though

I actually think I don't own any of the $1 tier in the new bundle. Double check when I get home but seems like a no brainer if so.

The only game I really want from the OP Bundle is N++, have all the others. Was hoping the other BTA games could push me over the edge.

I'm glad Refunct was added as that was on my wishlist. I was hoping for something better though :p

Bought Shadow Run Hong Kong in the Christmas sale so the only thing I'd like is Evoland 2....good bundle for those who don't bundle?

Does Rust have that clock icon next to it because it's Early Access?

I mean, I guess it'd be fun if you've never played a game before, but there's really not much actual game there. You hop over to a button, more blocks come out of the water with a button on them, you run and jump to that button, more blocks come up, and so on. Fifteen minutes later you're done. There's no challenge, no interesting gameplay, nothing. Sure, it looks kind of nice, but there's really no actual "game" to be had there.

Is there any way to salvage existing files of a game when you forgot to back up the games appmanifest file? Without the manifest file Steam wastes a lot of time "discovering existing files" just to end up downloading everything from scratch anyway since it failed to rebuild the appmanifest. I know that for many games its possible to change the "BytesDownloaded" to match the "BytesToDownload" but for some reason this isn't working with RE HD. Any ideas?
 
I mean, I guess it'd be fun if you've never played a game before, but there's really not much actual game there.

There's no challenge, no interesting gameplay, nothing. Sure, it looks kind of nice, but there's really no actual "game" to be had there.

It's very pure first person platforming, but it has you pulling off some fun moves. I didn't hold it against the game that the content was little more than an abstract level in Super Mario Galaxy, because it was good fun. But to say there's not really much actual game there? Calling it garbage? If you want to take it that far...

EDIT: Unrelated topic but everybody should check out Victor Vran in that "Best Of" bundle, it's a fun, casual lootfest that has some very good local co-op. My SO and I have been enjoying it greatly.

oh I didnt notice the difference between BTA and Homeworld was so big, no Homeworld then, Ill wait for the pack with deserts to be 75% off or something

Got the mid tier on the Best of 2016 bundle. Don't really care for Homeworld and I did not own any of the other games. Awesome value.
 
Refunct is short enough, cheap enough, and on sale frequently enough that it's a really odd addition to the BTA tier. Great game, though.

Best of 2016 bundle has a fantastic $1 tier. Got BTA for Shadowrun, though.
 
Hm, I still haven't finished Dragonfall and won Returns a few days ago through modbot, not sure if I should jump on Hong Kong right now.

Happy birthday!

Debating whether I should get the first tier of the new bundle or BTA. I own like half of it already tho

Returns is good but worse than Dragonfall and Hong Kong (ideally you should play them in order). If you really liked Dragonfall you can try Returns and see what you think, but otherwise skip it.
