Thanks for the thread Mr Orange.

I feel a game worth watching is Spoiler Alert, which has released.

It is a platformer where you travel backwards through a level and have to "reproduce" whatever happened previously. For example you have to jump to where a coin has been previously grabbed so it can be returned to that position. If you fail to do so, or don't complete another task like jumping on a dead enemy to bring them back to life you fail and have to try again.

Lets Play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB79Clm4Uas

I'm not 100% sold on it until I know how much content there is, but I like the idea.

 

[Arthea]

I am still bad

define bad

I can't even get 3 million points in the first chapter

that are some high standards (><)

 

[Garcia]

One of the best shmup games.

It's brutal, but I like it.

I blame it on the chain multipliers as well. Extraordinary shmup.

Ikaruga's challenge is legendary.

2 lives & no continues in order to truly master the game? Fucking hell, game is brutally hard and extremely elegant.

AHAHA

Oh my god.
I consider myself a good bullet hell player (relatively to ALL gamers, not the shmup niche), but holy shit Ikaruga always had its way to break down my brain.
I mean, I'm

Damn you Ikaruga, almost 15 years of inferiority complex and still I'd buy you for the third time.

It's not legendary, it's the genre standard. Just because other games give you infinite continues doesn't mean you should use them. It's a little frustrating how this game is so overrated it gets praise for doing shit every other game in the genre does.

I was going to make a joke about how someone's probably going to praise it for having points but you just praised it for having a multiplier!

I'm dying to play Divinity: OS but want to finish Dark Souls 2 first. I just hit Dragon's Aerie, how much do I have left?

~15-20%.

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Well if you do make one. Best of luck, and you may want to include some visual representation with those awesome webms that were made in the previous thread. I forgot who made them though

Thank you! I really have the drive to make one along with a few ideas but it will probably take me a few days though I guess there's no harm working each day for a bit on it. And yeah good point about the WebM's, I know someone who made atleast one so I could ask them and for the rest I might make my own WebMs. I'm still not sure if I do the whole OT thing but I will see how it goes

Is there any software to let me preview posts in terms of formatting and all? I'm aware GAF has a "Preview Post" function but I'm not sure it will just let me sit there between multiple days :/

So decline the gift correct..that is what you mean by nuke?

Also thank you, I will try to nuke the ModBot key and create a new quick raffle with the game.

It's definitely heavily inspired by Twin Peaks. What he means is that the two aren't linked mythologically.

Totally. I mean, this game puts my Axelay's "Hard mode No-Hit run" to shame. Dodging bullets feels stupid easy all of a sudden.

I felt so overwhelmed and humbled by Ikaruga during my first tries; no other bullet-hell shmup has ever given me that treatment before. My brain couldn't even process what the fuck was going on at Stage 3.

I'm getting so much better at it.

If any of you guys want to cash in your steam wallet for witcher 3/divinity or any other games you missed on the sale, here is my B/S/T post - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=119042450&postcount=12727 .

Also regarding this whole steam wallet trading thing. I think it won't come for a few months, and when it does; It probably won't allow cross-currency trading.

 

[Vuze]

ModBots nuke command doesn't seem to work, so... first to quote this post with his or her Steam profile link will get a copy of Awesomenauts

i hope they do the same for hunt

Yeah, that was my thought initially, too, but with Steam set to support more than a dozen more currencies, I think the opposite is more likely -- US folks not being able to send Aussies what practically amounts to a Steam gift card strikes me as woefully short-sighted. Time will tell.

 

[Monooboe]

Thats actually quite nice of him. Doing such a small gesture that isn't at all expected.

I'm kinda glad it ended there, because now I'm even more motivated to go back and do it even better next time.

The next Humble Bundle will probably have 3 or 4 games we just bought from the summer sale for $1.

The community voting already saved us from this with Creeper World 3, which is in the latest Indie Gala Monday bundle for $1.49 (a couple of dollars cheaper than the would-be Steam sale. So it's already begun! Gird your loins folks, it's gonna sting.

Ahh July. Finally a month with (almost) no interesting game releases, time to clear that backlog one by one!

Incidentally, one of the best days of the year. NHL free agency. At least three people in this thread... forum.. world care about this.

 

[Sub Zero]

I'd imagine the margin is fairly small while you are looking at the volume of business.

Assuming that most of them are selling games at 110% of the russian price, this person had a profit of 357 dollars plus another $37 or so from selling the cards.

Not bad, considering that some people work their ass off to earn that kind of money, while these traders are simply exploiting regional pricing differences and just sit around buying and selling games on demand

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

How many chapters does Wolfenstein have? I'm just

done with the u boot segment

 

[YianGaruga]

That sounds like a nightmare. Hopefully it's not too bad.

I'd imagine the margin is fairly small while you are looking at the volume of business.

The markup is generally around 10% unless you get a good deal, so I'd say that's at least $300 of profit (+cards and/or crafting rewards) which will buy you a lot of games in russia.
