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.
Haha well someone on Reddit asked if I was going to start fully supporting it again and why I stopped in the first place, my response was:
So it's safe to consider the project on "life support" rather than being brought back from the dead
I almost signed up, but then a statement someone involved made about MSX games being the same as NES titles(or something like that) put me off.
I'll stand with you
Speaking of subscriptions: I think I'll try out the Humble Monthly Bundles this month, there were some cool games in the previous months, though I'm not that interested in Vermintide

i don't even really know what gamepump is. seeing as how it's being compared a lot with humble monthly, i assume it's something similar?
never really liked the concept of humble monthly, i don't like paying without knowing what i'd get. i did buy it twice though, but that was because the game on display was enough for me to warrant $12.

I must be the only one here who doesn't get why you people have suddenly been using the word 'pump' 90% more, since the past 2 months than you have in your entire internet lives.
...and all over a $20 bundle that offers 13 games.
You're like an 8 year old who discovered the word 'kickass' and has been using it in his lexicon and trying to be the coolest kid in the 'hood' but is seen a weirdo.
I don't think I've even been Praising Crom for as much as you peeps keep using pump as a verb these past few months.
At any rate if the first game is Lit, I'll be interested to see how they handle the PC port and IIRC it's a game Dusk Golem's praised right? That gives me more motivation to try it out I guess.

Gamepump is a website/service that aims to release games taht hadn't been released on PC before.
The highest tier is $20 for $13 games. There are speculations that it would contain games from older consoles such the SNES etc.
We don't exactly know what the games will be exactly though. One game taht is speculated is LIT an old Wayforward game.

I haven't signed up for it either, seems kinda sketchy to me. I'm probably also going to be more conservative with Humble Monthly's in the coming months as well.

Don't be jealous because Crom cannot be used as a verb.
Not only old games. I'm saying it: LineLight is one of the pumped additions.
Stay pumped. #TeamWeirdo
Edit: Pic to taunt Tizoc when I will be proven right (hopefully).

Team Game Pass. The chance of getting a Commodore or similar game would be too great a disappointment. Game Pop.
You are not the only one. I'm too used to regional steam pricing so that i find it hard to convince myself to buy anything outside of steam, especially if i can't be sure what i'm getting. I did buy one Humble Monthly though, but that was mostly because the early unlock game was pretty good, and i was already going to buy another humble bundle, so the 10% discount from monthly actually made me do it
I'm a lot less likely to buy any more bundles now though, since i'm not really collecting games, and i've already bought most of the games i was interested in.Gamepump's main draw seems to be that you are guaranteed to get new games for your library, but the info on what games we might be getting is too vague for my tastes, and the price tag isn't too attractive either (in my region at least) - i think i wouldn't pay that much even if i knew what games were coming and i was kinda interested in like half of them

I haven't signed up for GamePump since the chances are high that it'll have games I would have little to no interest in.
Word. At this point I just hope the service is a giant disappointment so that stupid meme dies.

Let's just all agree that regardless of your thoughts about Gamepump and their business model and whether or not you're personally interested in it, having new releases of classic games on PC / Steam benefits everyone for years to come. It's almost like we're all kickstarting at least 13 mystery games that wouldn't have otherwise been available on the platform.

Part of the reason I got the bundle blindly
COME ON GAMEPUMP GIMME DAT PSIKYO GOODNESS!
Crom is hallowed. To overuse the name of Crom would be an act done in vain and would weaken its significance.
I'm cool if we get some new releases too, but you're going too overboard if you misinterpret a term that has the same meaning as 'get hype!' as a hint to what the bundle would contain.
Rocksteady could announce RDR1 for PC and use the term 'Get pumped!' and you kids would straight away froth at the mouth thinking it'll be part of the bundle.

I think you're trying to convince yourself of the value here. Humble Monthly has used the money value per bundle in the past, but here nothing. At this point I highly doubt flipping them at $5. It would sure be nice for them to say the total retail price of the yearly set of games or even average monthly value is ten bucks.

Heck I haven't even received any GAMEPUMP games yet and still think it's a better investment than this one I unfortunately made.

Gex 1 is available over at GOG.
Speaking of which, Pizza Tycoon 1 and 2 are now available @ gog
TBH I didn't care, I just blind bought because of the premise. I'm used to disappointment with my purchases mind you and far as I care if there isn't a game that interests me from it I'll just give it away/trade it off etc.
I'm an optimist though so IMO there's bound to be something in there that interests me.
The maths ain't wrong though. :3
Well with Humble Monthly you only know of 1 game. Humble gives you either 5-6 games in the monthly bundle, so at best each game would cost under $3 per title.
Hey if you had to recommend one of these two which would you go with? I think I want to get into one of these style games and I like the aesthetics here more than that of Spelunky, even if they still are EA. Both seems quite popular amongst their fans, just trying to figure out how to choose between the two. Or maybe I just buy both?
is the dualshock 3 x-input
laame
oh that Limelight is confirmed to be part of it? Heh
Hey man I hope the games are good, I dont want people wasting money or getting fucked. But I am salty that for example, the awesome Flame in the Flood was in last month's monthly, and everybody (ok not everybody) goes LOLHUMBLEMONTHLY WHAT A WASTE M I RITE.
oh and someguyinahat, theres a new bundle for you

If you install the SCP driver, it should be.
i hate blind boxes and gambling in gaming so i really dislike the business model of the gamepump thing
for $5 i'm giving it a shot for one month but i really hate this culture of selling you mystery shit
this is too much power for the ppl selling you shit to do whatever they want (i.e. overwatch)

What does this mean? So if you plug in a 360 controller you can sort of make the thumbsticks work like the Steam controller pads?
You'll be able to buy them on Steam.

listen to the mad man
Yes, deciding to buy something involves "convincing" yourself of the value--i.e. figuring out the value. My instinct is that games from the service will probably cost $6-20 on Steam new release. If I had to guess, I would say the modal price will be $9.99. I don't think I'm going to get "$130 worth of value", that would be stupid. But I do expect the true value I get to be above $20, pretty easily. If they release one or two games I want to buy at full price, I feel covered.
If it isn't, then I at least expect the true value to be above $0, and the resale value for the stuff I don't want to be above $0. So if this ends up being a bad decision and I miscalibrate and I get $5 worth of value and $3 worth of reselling so I'm out $12 for the year. I don't think the stakes are exactly epic here. If they don't launch games at all and just take my money and run I'll get a refund through Paypal.
Custom bindings, chords, touch menus, etc.
Everything Steam Controller/DualShock 4 can do with BPM, except for the touchpads (obviously).
they are all going to be steam games so you will be able to

Vagante is farther along, and has more of an RPG feel, with different classes and skills, while Catacomb Kids is all about the reactive world and is much faster and free-form in choosing skills and how you approach danger. Personally, I like Catacomb Kids more, but they're both great

The difference here is that the onus is on Gamepump to deliver. Not just so that existing subscribers like me will want to re-subscribe, but also because there are a lot of people interested in Gamepump and are waiting to see what kind of quality they'll deliver.
If it ends up all being shit-tier garbage ports that belong in an 8 for a $1 Indie Gala bundle, then the service probably won't be around for very long.
