Oh, it's a roguelike / has permadeath?
I'm okay if so since it sounds relatively short.
I hope there's at least a "Save & Quit" for your attempts though.
I love the progression in BoI and Rogue Legacy, always kept me playing.
Honestly I have three fears keeping me from buying it right now:
1) I loved the ideas and art of both Zeno Clash and Rock of Ages, and both didn't click with me.
2) Procedural platforming doesn't work well unless it's very modular, and I can't tell how this is designed.
3) All of their games have been heavily discounted and bundled within a fairly short time after release.
Heh the timing is pretty crazy, I just picked up Xenonauts an hour or so ago. Thanks for the link.
here is my Super Awesome Mega Chocolate Mystery games
if it happen you can't register the game, maybe you already have that game
if that...you can give it to anyone
I won this...

bday gift from Shadownet (not my brthday yet just in case) was the chosen one
couldnt have been a cooler game so thanks!
So close and yet so far.
Would've been much better if your 1,001st game was 1,001 spikes.
See, you shouldn't have mentioned that the other night
Yo mean like, 2 hours ago?
BTW to get this result I was like in machine mode. Not a breath, not a blink. Only mashing buttons, eyes stuck on the lower side of the screen for the recipes.
Shit I almost choked to death while my eyes where burning dry.
Chubigans, would you please tell me some kind of Konami code to get to the top of that leaderboard before I'll commit suicide or something?
lol he told us not to play! Now I wanna catch up and top it too now that I own CSD also
Kids nowadays, with no respect for the elders.
Well but he's totally the worst CSD player ever, I wouldn't count him for any serious leaderboard!
:'(
The thing is from the OT there seems to be no save and quit for stage progression. The devs said people who are experienced enough with the game should be able to beat it in 1 hour or so which I imagine might be through the hard rooms which is the shorter route to the end. Overall I'm liking the concept but I can see it being frustrating to some. Its not 100% Perma as you keep character progress but it does affect the stage progress.
I recently learned a game I fell in love with several years back is on Steam and it's one I quite recommend.
Marauder , a Tactical game with RPG levelling up system, set in an alternative history where the old Soviet world in a state of anarchy (no rule) and only the strong and prepared will survive.
With limited resources (weapons, ammo, explosives, etc) one must carefully and strategically plan out and execute how to survive in the streets or buildings, but as the saying go "a plan is the first thing thrown out in war" and one must adapt. Plenty of variety and ways to take out the enemy and I found myself playing through missions more than once to see if I could do better or use less ammo. Setting up traps and killzones (e.g. let your enemy walk into a street as you and your squad shoot at them from the high ground in buildings) was rather satisfying.
Learn the types of enemies, figure out how to take advantage of the terrain, buildings, and locations that will offer the best protection for you.
As resources are limited you must procure items such as bullets, scavenge through the map as you run from or plan out attacks, and raid your enemies (their bodies or their bases) to ensure you have what you need to survive.
As a RPG, the build does matter. You can't be a catch-all that attempts to be a jack of all trade, focus on a design or build. It's "modern" combat, so learn how best to be the type of fighter you need to be. Assault riffle, sniper rifle, Rambo (I don't recommend this one), what have you, play accordingly.
A surprisingly well written story that has brought forth comparisons to the classic Fallout games, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and Commander series, made all that much stronger by what you yourself can put into as you play a normal human whose life can be taken out rather easily as he fights to survive and improve his chances.
While a complete game, it does have some technical issues such as the occasional enemy walking through a wall (rarely), missing textures (not always noticeable in a ruined city), and a weird pause after two sound files overlap when they shouldn't. Nothing that hurts the game.
Warning, this is an older game designed for Windows Xp, so run in compatibility mode. I haven't heard of any troubles for those running Windows Vista/7, but I know some builds of 8 have an issue with it due to color scheme, which if that happens to you there is a fix online somewhere.
Suggestion before you play is to go through the options. Mouse sensitivity and sound especially.

Hrmm. I don't have a problem with that difficulty-wise, but as far as being convenient for play sessions. I see no good reason they can't have an FTL-style "Save & Quit"

Wow

No, it's on Salsa here, she could've added the gift to inventory and made it 1001... she just didn't think that far ahead.

base game only i believe
I wish I kept a list of all the bundles I bought. I have to trawl through 4 or 5 sites every time a greenlight game gives out keys and the name looks familiar.

Grabbed it, thank you
Just finished Wolfenstein The New Order. 9 hours.
Might be a bit early and I can't remember what else I played this year but this is my GOTY.
The ending wasn't as bad as I heard. I loved it.
So good. The graphics were jaw dropping in certain scenes.
Good
- The music
- The stealth
- The story
- The feel of the guns
- The atmosphere
- The badass feel when you take out a load of people
- The style of graphics
- The refreshing nature of the game. This is a huge point. Didn't feel like shooter #2,993. No backtracking, no stupid puzzles, no bullet sponge enemies
- The smart AI
- The varied levels and locations are fun and exciting
Bad
- The slow as fuck loading
- Pop in when you spin around quickly
- More undercover stuff would be nice
I feel like I'm being paid to say that but I was impressed. A pretty picture:

Man, maybe I should just bite the bullet and play the German version of Wolfenstein since everybody seems to love this game.
Thanks for the info, I saw it before and wishlisted it but this is the incentive to actually make a purchase. Comparisons to Stalker are words that move a game from 'maybe' to 'YES YES YES'.
Well, it's taken me about 3 hours to do the first section, soooo...
Metrocide seems interestingly retro.

Came out of nowhere for me. Saw the GAF thread and that got me interested. The first 10-15 minutes seemed average but the game ramped up at a certain scene and I've been gripped since. I rarely finish games and never this fast.
I think I finished it faster than average. I don't care about collectibles or anything though. Not sure how you could go too much slower since it's fairly linear though.
My first playthrough took me about 14 hours.
Then again, I think I only missed two collectibles and got all of the perks.
Well, I mainly have to pause every like, 15 minutes to rest my arm, so it shouldn't really be taken as an indicator
So out of the

Thanks, never heard of this but it looks interesting. Like an old walking shmup.
Ohh yeah, this looks fun. I generally suck at shmups because they are too fast for my old reflexes by if the enemies are stationary like space invaders it's all good.
Good question haha
I'm thinking South Park. Won't be going at this rate though. Like I said before, I'm never this fast. Gonna be slow going.
P.s. It's more like 2,700 being available
Good choice.
So I've never heard of this before and it looks like it might be interesting. It's called Exodus. It's supposed to be a metroidvania game, and it's definitely got Metroid vibes to it.
This looks like I might be interested in it.
First try was a used, second try got one, thanks!

Y'know..I've had a giftable copy of Tomb Raider Legend in my inventory for like 2 years. Anyone want it? I also have a copy of Aerena if anyone wants that too.
That'd be nice. Though i would accept any fighting game at this point.
so after hearing a lot of people saying how great spec ops: the line is, i tried it out since it was in the 2k humble bundle.. and i gotta say, i am falling asleep playing it. i can sorta see why people say the story is good, i guess, but after 2 hours of literally just shooting, i can't play it anymore. does the story really get that great? i feel like it would be better as a movie, not a game
