Speaking of which: what is the cheapest way to get it at the moment?
I missed the best discount some months ago and I've yet to recover to that burn.
I guess it would be 4-5 keys or maybe some russian benefactor.

Apparently I forgot to work through the June 25th list. That's Valve's fault for hosting the Summer Sale earlier than I was expecting.
Geographically, I do have a better chance.
It's on.

I see there's something for most of the posters in here:
Just kidding, this one has actual gameplay.
THE GRAPHICS LOOK NOTHING LIKE THIS!
My vote is for Anniversary. After the new Tomb Raider, Anniversary is like science
A Fish Aficionado
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Why did that make laugh so much?
For me the only 'bad' Tomb Raider's are IV, V & VI and then it's only because IV and V felt like Core were recycling their ideas and really the only one I've thrown to the side was VI (Angel of Darkness) out of pure frustration with the controls, which for me were at an all time low with that one (though that game bizarrely does have it's fans). The Crystal Dynamics ones range from ok to really good. They do mess around with Lara's backstory (it's a bit hit and miss for some people and does change Lara's motivation for her reson to become an adventurer but I won't spoil it) but Christ it's been tinkered around with enough now anyway. Legend does have a lot of 'Blockbuster' QTEs but Anniversary has the Mansion training level back, and arguably better than ever (even if it's smaller than III's). Opinion is divided on Underworld, I found it had the right balance of puzzles, combat (much, much improved) and while there are still QTEs they have been toned down a fair bit. All three have a running plot but Anniversary goes before Legend but play Legend first so not to mess with the order of things.
At the price they are going for it's a steel if you like the old mix of puzzling, traversal and combat. As an added bonus for anyone with a 3D setup all 3 of Crystal Dynamics game work really well.

Yes you can. Then you'll have the steam version AND the GOG DRM-free version and the goodies.
Only plebs are unable to understand the brilliance of Ricochet and why it's Valve's best game.
Going to give this a shot. I'm sure y'all will let me know if it didn't work.

no idea, i never downloaded that comic book
I may not have phrased my question well. I saw this last and noted "Comic" and am kind of pointing at it asking "what" it is (time period, whether its a comic available for purchase physically, etc).

I believe if he's referring to an actual CD key like mine, from a physical copy, that it gives you the GOG version but not a steam version.
Unless you just mean he'll have both because he presumably bought it separately on Steam, or are referring to a steam key as opposed to a "CD key"
Amazing Princess Sarah has my interest.

I'll add this when I get home. Just for the artbook and game guide though...
Works like a dream using my mechanical board on my main computer, alt-F4 after a few in-game hours on my laptop.
I'm a fast Tyler and nothing frustrates me more than a broken keyboard. Never spilled anything or mistreated the laptop either, just faulty components.

Remember how I once said I'd block from future giveaways anyone who didn't get the Ys games on sale?

Here's the SteamGAF competitive match we had last night
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coowT3F0FgI
Watching you guys makes me want to try Comp again.
Marco needs better map awareness @ 36:40.
I actually should still complete NG+ (and its 4 stars achiev) plus I'm still missing 1 normal game achiev, still fuck I got the bug of the leaderboard and I just HAD to get in first page before moving on.
Just, after getting there I was completely spoiled and I dropped it.
Ah, for reference, my combo menu was corndogs, pretzels and non-upgraded salad instead of coffee, because I've always had problems with counting sugar and creamer.
I actually need just CSGO
and Ricochet!
I guess it would be 4-5 keys or maybe some russian benefactor.
Geez sounds a little too much compared to Summer Sale price. I guess I'll just wait for Christmas, it's not like I'm in some kind of rush

Either, the physical CD key should work but the CD key from steam (right-click and get CD key) will work as well to redeem on GOG. Its what I did to get the GOG bonus items.

Anyone play the original two games recent. Would love to play them but I bet they lack modern day resolutions and controller support? Anybody know?

Ooooh. The Sun at Night! I almost backed that on kickstarter but it looked like it wasn't going to make the goal. That game looks good but the basis for it breaks my heart every time I think about it.
And some of the other games look really good too. Good batch, i think.

I agree. There's Timespinner too that got greenlit.
I'm just curious if you blocked anyone who didn't own Ys from your Ys giveaway.

You don't actually need to be in NG+ to get the 4 star achievement. Still, for as much as you've played CSD, you should at least 100% it before moving on. (Sushi is good for the exotic foods pin-- no cook time.)

According to steamdb, the original two have no controller support, I don't know if there are any workarounds for that though.
I guess I should have checked steamdb for controller support! But I don't mind KB/M that much and I played all the early Resident Evil games so I think I can get used to the "tank" controls.

Sounds really good, i will play this one, got both anyway though
Accidentally i paid with credit card the first time so credit left untouched, so why not?

I only blocked a member who was mentioned not to redeem the games they won.
For the release of Greenlit titles.
Polarity isn't a bad game for anyone who enjoyed Q.U.B.E. , but wished it to be slightly bigger in scope and less magnetic puzzles.
Top Hat is enjoyable as a platformer with the old intent of "bit of everything" through the different worlds. It gets a big heavy handed with references, memes, and "Hey, get this? It's funny because games" a la DLC Quest, but I ignored them and still had fun with it as a platformer.
It's not challenging or going to feel like it's a wonderful title for the ages, but if cheap I feel it can be worth it if you want this type of old school platformer with a variety of abilities, but don't want the difficulty of Angry Video Game Nerd's game.
Rodina , universe full space exploration game and/or internal ship layout builder sim, depending on what you will spend more time on.
While it doesn't promise quite the scale of No Man's Sky, it does offer a taste of this idea and does so quite reasonable with enough to go out looking for, to find, and surprisingly even a story to be had through written dialogue found.
I recommend at least playing the demo at their website https://www.elliptic-games.com/store/
Building the Great Wall of China for casual strategy fans with or without an interest in ancient China.
Crater Maker, a new spiritual remake of the old DOS/Arcade classic Lunar Lander with a mission mode to add some variety, scenario if you want a sense of progression, and multiplayer should you wish to race... or run into your friend and die in the void of space.
Dark Storm as a stealth FPS or Third Person Shooter (options are nice) set in a cold land. It's nothing amazing and won't overthrow Splinter Cell, Metal Gear Solid, or the like, it shows quite a bit of promise and the team behind it has a lot of material they've created for it story wise they wish to make. It could be the start of something to be sure.
At worst, I expect it to be competent.
I don't know much about how the following will be, but I have hope for them.
The Sun at Night. . It's a game about Laika, the first dog into space. No idea about how well it will hold up, the gameplay looks a bit light to me and potentially frustrating by not having much challenge to it beyond frustration, but I still think it looks interesting enough and it's about Laika.
Whether you get the game or not, do buy Laika by Nick Abadzis, great book to read and experience.
Timespinner , an open world backtracking with new items to go around that could actually be a "Metroidvania" if it's done right. Looks nice, wonderful artwork, and shows off play style that they state is inspired by 16/32 bit Castlevanias and Mega Mans.
The Great War 1918 , a free mod for Company of Heroes that is what it says on the tin, the First World War. While not something I have personal interest in playing, it does fill a niche for the First World War some will have in the FPS market as this war has never really been big outside of flight sims and strategy titles before.

Nothing in this batch had been on my radar, but yeah there look to be a bunch of good ones. I probably have unrealistic hopes for Coffin Dodgers
It's a short story about Geralt and one of his adventures pre-event of The Witcher 1. I believe it is set during the timeline of the book Blood of Elves.
It's called Reasons of State.
Ah you're right abouth the 4 Stars achiev, I don't know why I assumed it was only for NG+ (maybe because it was added after the NG+ update?).
And you're right I should 100% it before moving on to ousting your ass from the leaderboard, so goodbye everyone I'm gonna cave in to CSD once again, see you in September or something.
