RE7s demo is a total bait and switch. The main game is really nothing like it.

except it looks the same, it sounds the same, it plays the same, has the same vibe and mood, its the same location, and you do half the things that you did in the demo in the main game, with some alterations.

But yeah, its total bait and switch, the full game is actually a racing game.

Come on Munch, dont be that guy, dont let your "I only like the action REs because im a crazy person" weird ass opinion make you do posts like that.

Oh and before you throw in "but the PT style directionless cryptic puzzles in the demo tho", the ones I never did and I finished the demo like any normal game? And neither did anyone I know about? Those cryptic puzzles?

Come on son.

Not sure if I have the right game, but wasn't RE7's demo widely considered a piece of crap? Or is that some other RE.

no, in fact the demo was when most people went "wait thats actually kind of awesome"

I need the money?

I mean, you originally asked for a refund because you were unhappy about the service provided by Game Pump, not because you needed the money. So it should not be a big deal that there is a delay. At least in theory.

Just read the latest Tokyo Dark KS update and the way they decided to go for the first play-through and subsequent ones through NG+ feels pretty good to me

Now that's very neat. Seems like a good way to make sure you experience the game as intended first time round, but lets you experience all the content afterwards, so you're not making multiple runs through of the game

Adventure games with meaningful new game plus modes are great. From what I read of the update this will tie into the story too, just like Oxenfree's new game plus mode.

Depending on some websites, refunds might take a while, wherein the amount is on Hold/Locked for a period of time. It deffers from service to service and bank to bank.

That's a cheaper proposition since it's mainly art assets. I'd imagine the real reason is Bethesda thought Doom wouldn't be this successfully received.

Hopefully they saw the incredible reception at launch and the team have been plugging away at a full campaign expansion. I'd like to play more but not in the form of poo multiplayer or poorly made community maps.

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.
Well since Gamepump fell through, I've been thinking about signing up for a year of the Humble Monthly.

My goal this year was to subsist on my backlog, PS+ games for PS4, XBL gold games for XB1, and Gamepump for Steam - supplemented by around 5 "must play" games (Horizon, Dragon Quest Heroes II, Zelda, Final Fantasy XII HD, ???) that are mostly on consoles.

Without gamepump, I don't think my Steam library is going to grow much this year. Which is fine, I have thousands of unplayed games and literally a hundred "want to play this when I get time because I'm actually interested in it" games. Humble Monthly is a bit expensive though, and could include games I already own. But it's an interesting proposition to me personally to just pre-pay for what would essentially be a year's worth of PC gaming.

It is funny because I had the same thought during the second semester of 2016 and this is what I am experimenting so far. I am a yearly subscriber now.

I'm trying my best to stick to:
- backlog
- Humble Monthly
- games which I had selected before the start of 2017

I have posted this list a few times already:









Plus, these without a store page yet:
1. Miegakure ; the 4D game which got featured in an XKCD comic.
2. Gorogoa ; a puzzle-game in which the main mechanic consists in merging hand-drawn illustrations.
3. Ernesto RPG ; a game released by Daniel Benmergui, yes, it could exist!
4. The Council of Crows ; the next long-awaited game in the land of dreams, by the creators of The Sea Will Claim Everything.
5. Bomb Squad Academy ; think Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes in solo.

So far, my only purchase was the Beat the Average of a Humble bundle this month.

I'm actually thinking on similiar lines, with the exception that I plan on using the normal bundles for a steady stream of new games instead of the Monthly.

I want to finish up the games from last year, buy a few longer games on release (*cough* Falcom *cough*) and playing some bundle games for variety inbetween, with maybe a game from my wishlist with a good sale here and there.

ICEY is real good but I want to play it with a controller (like Brigador as well) because playing either on KB/M makes me think it would make more sense to play them on a controller.

But yeah buy ICEY

I wish Obsidian would do a loyalty discount for POE2 like InXile did for Wasteland 3
Click to expand...

There was $5 discount for.. existing Fig users perhaps? Or PoE backers? It was an e-mail I got yesterday. Actually two e-mails, but they both had the same url/discount. Basically the same deal as I got with Wasteland 3.

ICEY is 40% off ($6.59). It's a game that has sold over 100k, and has only been out a few months.

Click to expand...

wISH the discount lasted longer, at least after 30 Jan since that's when I plan on making my next purchases.
Then again I could just buy it with my steam credit...
