Yeah after what JShackles said, I think I'm gonna wait it out tomorrow and see how everything works about between the versions and make my choice on which to buy from there. But then again I lose out on the preorder booster. But if JShackles is right and you can still get all the cards from the complete edition by just playing through the game, I think the 10$ version would be fun since I start from the bottom and can learn the cards myself bit by bit since I have no Magic experience.

bad gameplay lol
Street Fighter is quarter-circles/half-circles/charges, not back-back-forward-forward stuff like MK/Injustice. There's a difference. But I see your point.

It seems to be unlocked for me as well. Now I just have to wait to get home from work, its going to be a LONG day.

The tutorials in the magic games are really good. Couple that with playing some matches with GAF and you'll pick it up fairly quick.
Also Saints Row & Dead Island, but yeah, all Deep Silver, all region locked up the wazoo.
That's really... reassuring. I suppose I'll just pass the time away in Abyss Odyssey and take a look for Shantae's store page later on in the day.
not bad but I have everything :/
edit: oops not true, missing crystals of time >_>
It was jshackles and me, damn it. Stump don't know nothing about no games!
You're not missing anything with the preorder booster, or at least nothing unique. It'll just be one of the packs they're going to sell after release.

I'm missing Crystals of Time, which sucks, I like these kind of games
But I won't buy the bundle for one game...
i think the only evidence of 60% is the fact that it's included in a banner here
but that's probably just a mistake. i wouldn't get my hopes up
Yep, in an hour and change.
its only one of the best games of last gen, no biggie

Tsk tsk. Would double dip at 60%
Don't worry. It is.
That is my thinking as well. Just need something a little more fast paced than a slow burner CRPG at the moment.
Seriously with the card drops. Every game is taking like a week for each card right now. Gabe pls stop
Edit: Oh shit, you guys mean that the 60% is the mistake and that the mistake is by customers. Thought you meant mistake by Amazon. Long day at work, shut up!
Doesn't look like a mistake to me. KiD has a sales blurb that's not just scraped from the description, it looks written for this promotion.

Micron is on steam now, was in the Indieroyale Lunar Bundle, hopefully they will provide a key
Logigun (coming soon) was in Indieroyale Debut 3. Debut 3 also had Stained which was released recently, still no key tho
edit: I was wrong about having a good feeling about the midweek >_>

That's what I did with wilfaire and his copy of Nier. I went on the computer and find which stores has it. Called them up to check to see if they have a quality copy of it. Then I asked to ship it to my store so I can buy it.

Well The_Super_Inframan told me to have fun with Mata Hari, so here are some impressions:
The length: I've put 3 hours into it and I surmise I'm about halfway done, considering I've done the chapters 1905, 1908 and 1912 and we all know what happens to her in 1917. So it's a decent length.
The graphics: The backdrops are beautiful. The characters vary: some look good, some look like early ventriloquist dummies - something about the way they make the eyes move. Mata Hari herself is shown to look more flattering than the actual photos we have of her. And they don't skimp on the fanservice: you get to see her in skimpy dance attire and so far I've seen her in lingerie twice now. So it's got that going for it, which is nice(?)
The storyline: History tells us that Mata Hari was a Dutch woman who took on a persona from "the mystic east" and did exotic dancing in the 1900s and early 1910s, and who was executed for spying. (History is actually unclear whether she actually was.) That said, the game gives us a fanciful what-if story that takes us to Paris, Berlin and Monte Carlo as she plays double agent, but so far it seems she's mostly spying on the Germans. It's alright for what it is.
The dialogue: It's well-written. Mata herself has a few coy turns of phrase as she flirts with characters, but in keeping with the times it's never explicit or slutty. Some accents are better than others, and by that I mean some voice actors try to put on a good accent, and some don't bother at all. So you'll get a half-decent German accent from one German character, and another with no accent whatsoever. That can be jarring, but on the whole, the voice acting itself isn't bad.
The gameplay: Some puzzles are interesting in their dialogue base: using one of four different approaches to win a man over, getting them to reveal secrets while they're sleepy, and so on. The minigames, however, get a bit rougher. You know those puzzles where you switch and rotate pipes or wires? Yeah, it's got one, and it awards points based on how FAST you do it. These points apparently go towards how good an ending you get. There's also a dancing minigame. Rather than hit buttons in time with music, you MOUSEOVER circles as notes enter them. Got two notes in the same place? Don't you dare keep the mouse inside that circle, or one of them will be 0/10 points (because you mouseovered the circle too early, you see?) The first dancing minigame was okay, I passed, just barely, but said to myself "Okay, you got this, next time you'll do better." Second one was significantly harder. I can only imagine what it looks like in the end. There's also a travel minigame where you have to avoid foreign agents. You'll do this one a LOT. They give you an option to take express trains to skip the minigames, but again, doing so will apparently affect your ending. To top it off, they have "secret missions" which essentially means, "did you find these missable objects?" That can be good or bad, depending on your point of view. In my current mood of playing point-and-clicks, it's bad.
The verdict: It's a good-looking game and not without its charm. However, if you like point-and-clicks to not judge you based on how well you do minigames, give this one a pass. Otherwise, it might be worth your time.

Yes, yes you do. (Well, maybe not the GOTY version which is basically skins, but you need to get Tomb Raider)
You'll thank me later.
Lol yeah. I'll try to upload that entire match when I get the chance. The rest of our games I'll just splice them up and make a small video of it.

Acti voluntarily dumps the licences it no longer sees as viable every January as that's when its FY ticks over. Blur's vehicle licences and James Bond faced the chopping block last year.

Just the vanilla. The DLC, like the MP, is shit.
I hope you aren't squeamish, because failing to protect Lara results in some torture porn.
...you enjoyed Tomb Raider? Or is this some classic Turf-sarcasm?
