How good are Telltale at android tho?
They suck at simple PC stuff, so... I'd wait for reviews, if I were you.
CEs are pretty useless.
I have some cool older stuff left, from when games actually created real manuals, but these days? No thank you.
I don't want one of those stupid statues, or coins and other stuff that's just gonna clutter up a desk.

Hm... hmmmmmm...
EDIT: Welp, looks like the release is kinda broken in a few ways according to Amazon reviews. Character models are all black or something?
EDIT 2: AND IT'S NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MY PHONE

you are completely unselling me on the game first with the smash bros comparisons and now this. I thought it was a side scroller, not unlike a metroid, castlevania, bloodrayne (the 2d one), volgarr, etc etc
The bone wheels? I'm guessing you haven't been down to the Catacombs yet.
Yes those things, and no I haven't been to Catacombs yet. I just didn't expect it, just started to walk into a tunnel and I just hear something wizzing by me, turn around and I get spinned to death. Took care of that section now, but that initial surprise was something.
One more Astabreed gif from my playthrough. Quality is kind of grainy because of the quickness of the action though.
Sexy. Gonna be fun playing through this Asstrebread
It's honestly like a night-and-day experience. There have been times when I load up the Steam client to do some library management, then move over to the Store or Community tabs before realizing "why the hell am I doing this in the client instead of in Chrome with ES?" Kudos to you for all the work you've done on it -- I can't remember how it held up in previous sales, but it did quite a fine job during the last week.

No caps lock is inexcusable. That's what the key is for when I need to chat.

Can't say I miss the CE goodies now that I have moved more into digital games.
95% off the stuff I collected from before is sitting in storage.

I have entered the list.
Its both!
The combat system is similar to Smash but there is a Sidescroller with rogue like elements to it.
Story Mode plays like a sidescroller with rogue like elements
Coop - Self Explanatory
Vs - Self Explanatory
Read a preview.
If I owned a lance, I would enter the lists.

Stahp. Both of you. It is a word. It's just the wrong word.

You mean you don't own one? I thought it was a pretty standard thing like toilet paper.
Ragu?
I guess. I'm seeing less and less a point now... but those JRPGs (Atlus) etc CE still get me :/
especially those with artbooks and OSTs
what DVDs? haha so full digital now? I only like the artbooks and OSTs :/ but bleh
true. :/ but I just hope those artbooks and OSTs that usually come with it were more common
hmm I'm not a fan of statues, coins - but yea, like you said, I just want a proper (thick) manual with the artwork.. (artbook and OST are best)
so full digital for you now?

I do have toilet paper. I keep up with some fads, but not all of them.
Congrats! It is an amazing addition to the store *Two-thumbs Up*
Rouge, the southern-belle
or a World of Warcraft Rouge
maybe you prefer the Power Stone Rouge?
wait that one is actually called Rouge... shit!
I'm also curious how it will run... I think I have almost $50 in those stupid coins not sure what to spend them on. Will it work on phones or just tablets?
I'm sorry to break it to you guys, but rouge means red.
I had the same feeling playing The Stanley Parable. Ridiculously short.

Question for those of you who know and/or are doing that M&M pre-paid card deal. A friend of mine used it to buy something off Amazon, but it was over the $6 allotted by some $2 and is now worried about an Overdraft fee.
Should I tell him to keep panicking or not to worry because it would have been denied if there wasn't enough funds available?

It's obvious that the leftover $2 was covered by another payment method. Why would he be worried about an "overdraft fee" on a prepaid card, lmao. Did he even check the invoice or is he just panicking for no reason and not doing actually doing anything?
Stanley Parable has multiple endings. The fun is exploring all the branching points and seeing them all. Many of the branch points and endings smartly comment on this.
Just playing through it once would be, well, wrong.
I didn't buy it full price, though. At its original launch price I'd say it was a little overpriced.
damn those rouge angles of satin

The thing is, both of those games bank on replay-ability. The Stanley Parable has a ton of endings and branching paths that require some time to dig around with and discover. It's still only 4-6 hours or so but it's a hell of a creative journey from start to finish.
The Yawhg similarly banks on playing over again and again but unlike TSP it's really designed to be played with friends in quick sessions with lots of laughs over how badly everyone got fucked over. Having a dedicated narrator reading everything out aloud dramatically like a storybook helps quite a bit as well. Really not a great game to play by yourself.
Basically, unless (very rarely) I can find a disc copy in the stores for something that's either not on Steam, or is cheap and registers on Steam anyway.
Nice. He bought me Shovel Knight earlier. It's so great.

I feel like even with friends that it wouldn't be that fun.
I couldn't even change the resolution in that game. There were no options at all!
One thing I liked: the music was great.

I assumed they came out with the standalone client for steam, which I heard they were working on months ago (maybe in 2013) when I last played the game.
It has a few things that are neat about it, but imo it is a really really bad game. Terrible net code. 1hk snipers (balanced in CS because of having to work towards the AWP but in this game it is just too good imo). Awkward maps.
What they do well was their version of demolition. Somewhat unique roles due to classes. Routes that require teamwork to use where you have one teammate boost another up over an obstacle you cannot pass otherwise.
Slide shooting is interesting.
It does have 4 player coop which is kinda interesting. The co-op got boring really fast though so I didn't play that much at all.
I wouldn't really compare it to crysis. It is more like CS with ADS, sliding, worse netcode, and classes instead of purchasing guns between rounds.
All that said, I haven't played in like half a year or longer.
